Too Easily to Let It Show; I Love You and That's All I Know

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

I'm so sorry, guys, but I'm going to be leaving this game. It's been common knowledge that I was going to leave in August, but since I'm going to be hiatusing for the month of May anyway I might as well get it out there now: once I've finished my current threads and the Devil Wouldn't Recognize You/Exploration/Sobek plots, I'm out.

Edit: And we will be finishing Survivalist. I will be doing some last threads and then leaving for good April 30th.

Please do not act until my characters have been repodded until my time at this game here is completed, as I may kill a few.

This game has brought me so much joy over the last year and a half, but in the last few months it's been stressful. I hoped that by stepping up as a mod, I could solve some of the problems that have been bothering me, but instead I just felt like I was sinking more and more energy into things that weren't getting better. I also have some mental health issues going on in RL, and staying up all night having a panic attack over RP flat-out is not healthy. I'm not going to be able to sustain this much investment over the game in law school anyway.

Mod applications are open. I will work one-on-one with whomever follows in my footsteps to make sure they have all the information and support they need.

I'll still be around for memes and museboxing. I just can't be in this game anymore. It's time to say goodbye.

Here, have a cute icon.

I will miss you and your characters, but it's totally understandable. Good luck in your future endeavors.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Thank you, Eileen. And thank you for always being so kind. <3

[nize_hat]

You get the same sadface icon, but I can understand it. I'm gonna miss you, but I know you'll do fantastic at law school!

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Elly, I'mma still follow your plurk. DRAGON SAID I COULD STAY, YOU GUYS WILL NEVER BE RID OF ME.

[first_in_time]

D':

I'm sorry to hear this, but playing with you has been an absolute privilege. I'm really going to miss you.

Good luck with everything! :)

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

I am so incredibly sad that after this exploration plot, we won't be playing more. You're an absolute delight. <3 Thank you, and if you ever get a plurk or are bumming around on AIM hit me up.

[first_in_time]

I wish I could get into Plurk :/ it's so confusing! I'm sometimes on AIM - adlerandteapots - but I'm pretty awful at IMing. I'll be kicking around a bit there tonight/today because I don't mind chatting while watching Mad Men, Once Upon a Time and other things :)

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

That's what I thought when I first started it! Now I couldn't live without it. IME, there's like a week of a learning curve and then it starts to become natural, but if it's not up your alley I getcha.

I may just do that. :)a

[punchedoutdestiny]

Ah, geeze. :( Yeah, when that's happening, it is definitely time to step back.

Definitely sad to see ya go. Simon'll give the Daligig all kinds of hell for Howard.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

You go, Simon. <3 It's been a pleasure playing with you, Wing.

[on_your_nerves]

I'll miss seeing you around bud. Like I said on plurk though, hope I get to see you IRL soon.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

I'll be seeing you in IRL, I'm sure. /hattip :)

[carrieswar]

♥♥♥

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

<3 to you too, darlin'.

[anwei]

Goodbye, and have ALL THE FUNS wherever you end up. I hope to see you online sometime.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Absolutely. If I ever open my own game, you'll be the first to know, Terry. And please hit me up on some memes, kk?

[keep_surviving]

I'm going to miss you so much.

I hope things perk up in law school.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

I'll miss you so much too. Your Diana is impeccable, and Hanaaaaaa. Stay amazing, Laura.

We'll still wrap up this plot, though!

[kaya_waterwave]

You will be missed, Trust me, I will keep in touch!

I hope things go well.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Absolutely! I'll miss you too, man. <3

[hi_there_aliens]

I'll miss seeing you around but you'll be on plurk still, right?

Good luck on law school (you're going to rock in there) and I hope things look up for you soon.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

I'll still be on plurk! And I'm totally going to finish Sobek and be game for museboxing/meming with you and a certain Doctor Jackson.

I'm sure things will improve without the unnecessary stress.

[electricman]

Nuts, I barely got to know you. :(

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Hopefully I helped get you started on the right foot. Have fun, dude. <3

[electricman]

I have been... but how the heck did Howard and Cedric die?!?!?!?

[nunpunching]

If you look up all the posts in the Survivalist plot, Cedric and Howard died during a mission that was bendytimed until recently. Howard died of a septic infection and Cedric went boom.

Edit: OH AND JSYK this is me with a different account.

[bonnypiperlad]

I don't think I have an appropriately sad enough icon, so you get all my hugs. I'll miss you and your characters terribly. :( But if you'll still be around plurk I'll hopefully see you there?

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

I'll stay on plurk! I may even RP elsewhere, I just don't think I can do it at T9 anymore. <3

[makeherblue]

Pretty much going to be echoing everyone here, but you will be so missed man. I've loved having the CR I have with you and I've also especially loved shooting the breeze with you OOCly on Plurk and IRl. Definitely plan to keep in touch like this.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Well, you'll see me this weekend, so you won't be missing me long. XD I'm so glad you're keen on museboxes, Cam. I would be devastated to lose our CR.

[youmissed]

THAT IS TRUE. /goes into a cleaning frenzy aahhh.

Me too! I'm always down to slowpoke it up with you though ;p

[splendid_roman]

That explains last night's emails - I was very confused.

I will miss Howard and you - you've been so friendly and helpful. But I understand that you don't need stress over something that's supposed to be fun.

Since Ian & Eva aren't going to speak about Youth Services at any point, is there any reason why Ian & Barbara can't set something up themselves? Or we can handwave something with Eva.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Thank you for the kind words, Phaerie. <3 It's been a delight playing with you too, and I hope our paths cross again in the future.

Let me talk to Tim Drake's mun about that, since she was also interested, but I think a handwave might work best. I'll get back to you soon!

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Hey Phaerie, just talked to Tim Drake's mun - she still wants to be involved and Eva was Tim's link into that, so can we handwave that Eva mentioned Tim to Ian, and then Tim and Ian can have a thread to get the ball rolling on Youth Services?

[splendid_roman]

That sounds good to me, thank you.

[poorlycopingstrategist]

...oh man. ):

I'm going to miss you and your characters like crazy. Thank you for everything you've done for the game, though. You are a delightful person to play with and talk to.

I'll still see you around plurk, right?

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Absolutely! And thank you for being so wonderful too. I hope we play again in the future. <3

[mynameisax]

Echoing everyone else with the sorry-to-see-you-go, and I'm sorry it got so stressful for you. *hugs* Good luck at law school! If you ever need to vent to other law students, I've got a few in my contact list who'd be happy to commiserate <3

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Thank you so much, Kaylin. <3 I'm sure I will be surrounded by fellow stressed out law students.

[hatngartersnake]

Quit using logic to thwart my attempts at keeping in touch ;)

<3

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

WELL NOW THAT YOU HAVE PLURK THAT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM

I'm going to pretend you got a plurk just for meeee

[nerves_of_steel]

We can call it the straw that broke the camel's back, dahlink ;)
