Tatyana:
I'm presuming the new folks aren't invited to the wedding (since we don't know the happy couple)? Still thinking of something for the other downtime thread...
As Kendrick pointed out, you are invited :)
The main purpose of Group 0 fuzzy threads is to allow interaction between PCs from different parties. In your case, it is a way to get to know some of the more established characters.
I'll pop Big Job in there so you have someone you recognize. The key thing to remember is that this is 'out of time' when compared to the adventuring threads - so it is Chit Chat type RP. :)
