Hey, nice JP tidbit there.
I have an announcement to make.
We're on the verge of starting Mission 5... but frankly I don't think things are looking very auspicious right now, and it finds me lacking motivation to have things move forward.
Several of the players whom handle the 'big movers' in the Miharu plot - the senior staff - appear to be tied up... and them being active is rather important to this plot's story continuity.
Blas has moved recently (though he's usually available). Abwehran Commander has little free time due to studying, I think. Doshii Jun's efforts to join the police has him be busy as well. It's also been nearly a month since Tom last posted on the site.
It's kind of lame to move in the last stage of an ongoing story and find that those whom could make the most of this are simply not available. I also find myself rather weary of running after players to get them to post with the thought you'd think that if this plot was entertaining, they'd be eager to post in it all on their own.
So... I'm not GMing, until the majority of the playerbase involves shows up and asks me to GM. I convey my apologies to the players eager to participate in the plot but not having senior staff characters themselves - it's not my intention to belittle you, but the participation of the players mentioned is pretty essential in my eyes.
Until conditions are more 'auspicious', nothing stops you from roleplaying with the other characters present to depict the going ons with your character during the trip to Nepleslia or the ensuing trip to the Ether system.
