I'm Back

[The International]

I never really took too much stock in how some people would talk about how life got in the way of doing things on Althanas, but now I get it. School started for me a few weeks ago, and that's in addition to the busy part of my job, and all that would have been fine if it hadn't been for two back to back but unrelated deaths in the family that I had to tend to. I didn't know the relatives very well but I did have to pay my respects with attendance to the funerals and twenty hours on the roads. I'm back now, but I'd like to apologize to Sabatykos, Godhand, Toy Soldier, Ataraxis, Taskmienster, Reine, and anyone else I've let down because of this sabbatical.

Here's one thing I can guarantee. I will be here for quite some time even if my post frequency may drop a bit. My social, professional, and family life are all becoming dramas befitting a fucking movie on Lifetime so this is my best escape until these bitches stop bitching.

... bitches ...

[Alydia Ettermire]

Welcome back, and my condolences about your family members.

[Taskmienster]

Welcome back, and no worries about me... I've been caught up in a full time job and full time school as well. heh.

[AdventWings]

Condolences to your family.

They may be bitches, but hey, they're family. (Same situation, trying to look past it as well.)

[Toy Soldier]

Welcome back. I've had to take breaks from Althanas from time to time so I understand. Just let me know when we can get that quest in Fallien rolling.

[Lord Anglekos]

Welcome back. Glad to see another decent writer back around.

I don't think anyone is shocked when activity droops around the beginning of the school year. Though I wonder if Althanas is approaching a point where this might not be the case, since an increasing number of its members are undergraduates and beyond. Moreover, I don't think anyone is ever personally dismayed at an individual, least of all you, for what was a very brief hiatus.

I myself just started my last year of law school, but having already received a job offer, this actually means more free time rather than less. Unfortunately, being active when no one else is doesn't work out all that well.

In any event, welcome back.

[Sabatykos Maelstrom]

Yeah dude its all good. Real life always comes first. I hope we can conclude our quest at -some point- in the future though. I don't want it to get stagnant.

[Godhand]

It's cool. At least you didn't leave right after I made a post.

I do need to talk to you on AIM though, about the quest.
