Good morning everyone,

I'm so sorry for being absent these past few weeks. Personal life and work life really caught up to me in October, and so far I haven't been able to bounce back. I still think of you all, and all my characters here, every day, but I don't have the time or energy to write these days.

If possible, I'd like to throw all my characters on the inactive list, because I don't know when I'll be back full time but I like to think that this is only a passing phase IRL and that I'll have the energy to play again soon. And, I think it's best you all look for a new moderator to step up and fill my place on the staff team.

Canonically, Ghazal is pretty easy to take care of -- he's just a wanderer anyways, nobody's seen him in forever. We can imagine that Ghanima, Ignus, and Aveline all went missing, perhaps Ava more suspiciously than Ghani and her foal. My entire island crew -- Argo, Nereida, Irulan, and Ianthe -- are a little more complicated, but maybe we can say there was some inclement weather and they've been missing ever since. Possibly presumed dead, which could be kind of a neat plot catapult if I'm able to come back in the future.

I haven't checked Discord in a while but I'll do that this morning and respond to everyone who sent me very kind messages, thank you all!

I may still have some time for art and silliness in the discord channel, but for the foreseeable future, I think writing is off the table.

Again, my deepest apologies and love to all of you. I miss you every day.

xoxo

Hazel
