I've... had to think on this for awhile, and I hate doing this so close after Christmas, but I think I feel it's time to let Alister go for the moment.

I've run into a pretty severe mental block with him that I can't seem to shake myself out of, and the constant hours at work and general stress of everything else isn't helping me keep him to his full potential. I understand I have a large number of threads with most of you, and I'm deeply sorry for that. But I would rather enjoy myself tagging people back, rather than feel like it's a necessity, you know?

If you would like to keep in contact with me, my plurk is ecojak, and I'm on quite a bit. And I can say, in my second round in Vatheon itself, this one was far more successful than the first. Thank you to those who took the time to help me flesh out a new, shaky muse. And I want everyone to know that once things have settled down, I'll be sure to make the effort to get right back into it.

I promise.

And I love you all. Thank you, again. ♥

I was going to come back from a hiatus on another game today, but something happened.

My roommate has been running a fever of 103 for the last two days, and I noticed today that her fingernail beds turned blue (for those who don't know what that means, it means she's not getting enough oxygen). For her sake, I'm calling a hiatus indefinitely (though realistically, if it's a flu, she should be better in a week or so, so 'indefinitely' won't be long... hopefully). I'm calling one in my other games that are in the mid-to-fast territory as well.

This affects Mithos here, as well as Ramirez silvereclipse.

I'll be going out of town come Tuesday and the work has done a pretty great job of tanking my rp drive (gotta love this time of the year), so I'll be taking a month long hiatus to relax and recharge. Just effects John here and he'll just be in a coma for the duration. You know, just taking up space in the beta bed. Have fun with that, guys.

Or you know just..shove him in the closet or something and forget about him for a while. You can do that too. it's not like he can complain about it.

Also, John's list of the presents John got for his close CR can be found here since I finally figured out what he got everybody. What do you mean Christmas was two days ago?
