Well, I'll be sorry to see your characters go, but you do what you have to do. I'm glad you're at least keeping Caster around. On that note, I'm up for continuing our fourth wall thread for as long as we need -- I have been waiting years to have Shirou use Unlimited Blade Works in RP, so my excitement for that isn't going to die any time soon.

Regarding the microchip, though, is that something that having all eight of either region's badges can override? I can't remember for certain.
