The Duke:
I am around. Just giving others a chance to do something to de-escalate the situation.
I dig you.
And JJ and Grigori checked in just 2 or 3 days ago (respectively).
I hope Anchorite Tearful (last seen 3 days before Christmas) comes back soon, but I always thought 6 people would be good to have in case we lost one. With 5, I think we can carry on just fine... (although, again, I hope she comes back...)
It's a little close to bedtime for me, so I'll check on the in-game thread tomorrow (or that is my plan, anyway)...
