Hey, all - you may have seen this coming, but I just don't have it in me to play Cole right now in a way that does the depth of this game justice. I love you all so much, and you deserve my proper energy and attention, and I can't just linger on hiatus.

Cole will just quietly vanish, as he does, off to go wandering. He will seem a bit strained, and then one day, simply stop coming around.

He may well be back someday, if y'all don't get another Cole before I have the brain-space again. Feel free to add me on Discord if you wanna keep in touch at Vincira#8472.

<3 Peace, y'all. I'm sorry for being even more of a ghost than this lil' dude.

Hi, all! I just wanted to drop a note here to say that I will sadly be dropping. I love the game, everyone was super cool here for the hot second I've been in! I just joined at a bad time for me IRL and I feel like even though my RL is easing up slightly now, it's not fair to keep people waiting on me any more than they already have been. I hope to be back with someone else in the future, but until then, adios!

hey guys.. big sorry to those i still have ongoing threads with but i gotta drop legolas. work has been getting testy since i apped and i was hoping it'd smooth itself out but apparently not ! alas.

i did enjoy my time here and everyone i threaded with!! one day i hope to come back... when i'm not trying to pick up another employee's slack (you know how it goes).

Hey everyone.

This is just to let you know I've decided to drop Aro from the game. I had a lot of fun with him here, but it's time for him to go home.

I'll still be around with d'Artagnan so I'm not gone completely!

I hate to do this, because I really wanted to play Reaper in this setting but the last few months have demonstrated to myself that I just don't have the ability to manage myself or my time well enough to be in a game right now. So I'm taking a step back to reassess myself and dropping. And I'm sorry for well, in general being a flake and whatnot.

Maybe I'll be back again, with Reaper or with an OC one day once I've gotten a better hold on everything.

You all are seriously wonderful writers and awesome people. Seriously tugged at my heart strings with some plots while I've been here. Continue to be awesome. :)

BG here deciding to rip the bandaid off and drop Maglor and thus the game. I've had fun but need to step back for RL reasons.

Thanks for having me!

Hi everyone,

After a lot of thinking, I have come to the decision that it is time for me to send Kirk home, and with that bow out of the game. It's been a wonderful couple of years here with you all, but RL stress and my own lack of motivation makes Fade Rift a poor fit for me moving forward.

I have sincerely enjoyed my time here and am so glad to have been able to play with everyone. You can still hit me up at inkedhymnal or on Discord @ moulin_lune#9538. Perhaps one day I will be able to return, but for now I think this is the best decision for myself as I work on my RL goals.

Thank you everyone for such a wonderful game experience. Keep on being awesome.

And go boldly where no man has gone before.

Coming as a shock to absolutely no one (probably), I've decided to drop the game. It was a hard decision, which is why I've been so silent about it, but given that my creative energies have been almost non-existent and that my real life has been busy and complicated, it's not fair to sit on a character who would and should be much more active than I've been able to make her lately.

Her close CR will be told that she's going off to work on a research project, though she's vague about the details. No need to worry, though; she swears she won't be alone, though she's vague about those details, too. It's not her first time falling off the grid out of perceived necessity, so she doesn't want anybody fretting over her.

Apologies to the people I never got to play with, or play with as much as I'd like, or even that I did play with and will end up missing dearly. If you'd like to keep in touch, my plurk is StarryOblivion or feel free to message this journal.

Thanks for not making this an easy decision on me, guys. I'll miss you. ♥

It may not be a surprise to anyone given how MIA I've been over the past couple of months, but as much as I've loved it here, my heart just isn't in the game anymore. So after two years, a lot of time spent with some fantastic CR and a lot of amazing memories, it's time to say goodbye.

In the short term, Jamie'll be heading off and out of the city for reasons that he doesn't really go into but may very well be because he stubbornly insisted on going along in case he was needed to help protect people. If anyone wants him to have left them a letter for later on in the long term, though, let me know, because he wouldn't want to completely disappear without saying goodbye.

Thank you all for some really great times - I'll miss you guys a lot.

Hey, everyone. This probably won't come as a huge shock to anyone, but I'm dropping Cullen. I've been having a difficult time with him since the move to Kirkwall, and I realize that for the past few months I haven't been doing anything more than going through the motions. It's not fair to sit on a character like that, especially an advisor. So it's time to let him, and thus the game, go.

It'll be largely up to the mods what happens to Cullen now, given his role in the world. Wherever they send him, if it's possible, Puppy will go with him. A man needs his dog.

You've all been amazing, and I will seriously miss all of his CR. I'm super grateful to Fade Rift in general for the new friends I have made here and all the fun times. Stay awesome, guys.
