This is perhaps a bit in advance, but it's a doozy: I'll be gone and completely unable to check in from mid-November to mid/end of December.

I'm leaving RPoL for a time. I'm going to be living in the car again. :( When I get back on my feet, I hope we can pick up.

I hope things get better, V.

Be blessed!

I wish you good fortunes and hopefully, things turn out better in near future.

Take it easy and be kind to yourself.  I will be here when you have time and the right mind to get back to the game.

We'll keep a light on for you, V.  Take things easy and take care of yourself.

I'm really sorry to hear that -- please take care and stay safe!

Through a stroke of good will, the motel is letting us stay here on debt. I have a second temporary home set up to go to on Monday. Normally I would sequester this information to my bio but I posted the circumstances here, so thought I would reply to them here as well.

I have some good will donations coming in as well. Nothing life changing, but helpful.

That is great news, V. Glad you are getting at least a little good luck.

Thus begins my period of silence. That is, in about six hours or so.

I hope you are all doing well (especially you, V!); on Friday we'll be leaving the country until mid-December. I won't have much (if any) internet access while I'm gone. I'll hopefully talk to you all again shortly before Christmas!

I pride myself on posting whenever I log into a game, gm or player. In short I'm posting from a rinky-dink phone. I will update bio, but I will say here, I'm safe. II still am on hiatus. No ghosting, but situation still homeless.

Glad to hear that you're intact, V, though times're still tough.  We'll keep a light on here for you.

There's a light burning in the window.

*lights candle into window*

Good luck on homeless situation Narrator.

Just FYI -- I'm back.

:)

I have pneumonia.

How bad is it?  I hope you have a quick recovery.

It's not bd, but it's been here since November

Just to say I am still here and ready to pick things up when life is better for the GM.

It may only have been for 6 months but I been there myself.

Ty for being patient...
Sucks to have that respiratory illness. I have a particular vulnerability. My coughs and throat irritation lasted a season.

Situation hasn't changed, beyond being a tragic fairytale Christmas.

In reply to Narrator V (msg # 24):

Ouch, hopefully after Christmas your health improves at the start of the new year. Prolly already know but honey helps with throat irritation while breathing water steam helps with the coughs if mixed into water some eucalypts drops (basic home remedies I have used and worked). Ideally sauna can help great deal if not have any fever.

In reply to Hathra Bonecrown (msg # 25):

I was concerned my unusual brevity would confuse the situation. I'm not sick, in fact I wrote that message 3 times to try to illustrate sympathy, not to divert focus to myself. I utterly failed. Dx. I should have said that I'm sorry for...Ghanek Brightwave. I know what It's like to no longer be "sick" but have pretty much the same lingering symptoms.

 I wanted very much to show solidarity, and NOT divert attention. Saying "I know what it's like" seemed lazy, and in truth I've felt like a respiratory illness overstayed It's expected term.

Anyway, I check messages, because I take GM rank seriously, and I've had very few, but very sour times games have had bitter isers. I never expect it, nor did I when it happened. I know in 99% of cases It's unnecessary, but if an issue occurs in a mature or especially adult game, I need to be on top of it. The mods are very generous to let me keep games "active" during my many breaks.

On the vein of practice, I personally have a rule to post when I log in. Usually with shorter msgs, but just to show I'm not ghosting. It bothers me when I play and GMs do that. Maybe It's also annoying for these non-updates. Red should mean attention.

I'll try to be more clear, but brief though. Surely posting from this phone asks it.

Christmas will suck, as the place I stay has it above, while I sit alone in the basement, but I have my PC. I'll decorate in fallout 4. I will have better years. At least I'm not in the car.

Ah, my bad. It may have dyslexia mixed in which confused me :P. But well wishes for Ghanek.



Well, at least some improvement in life that you got a roof above your head (albeit being alone at Christmas and more so able to hear a party above you does indeed suck).
