I'm not quite sure how to word the introductory sentence of this post, though I would like to state my regret and apologies for my thus far unexplained absence these past couple of weeks. One would think the beginning of summer would cause life to slow down, but oddly enough it has been just the opposite for me as I've come into new, very time consuming commitments, and I'm afraid I'll have to essentially drop off the face of the internet for a fair amount of time RP wise. I've no one to blame but myself for not bothering to inform anyone until now and would understand if it seems like I all but abandoned this along with the token other RPs I was involved in. While I'd love to actually find time to write out everyone's favorite Pirate Vikings, I fear I won't have the time necessary to have it live up to the standards of writing I've thus far seen from everyone.

After giving it some more thought I feel as though a house from the Iron Islands might suit my ideas better, so I've switched over to drafting House Saltcliffe. I'll drop by the chat room once I have access to my laptop and toss a few ideas around before I finalize it.

My penultimate cheeky comment aside, I wish you all the best of luck with the RP and hope to at least remain a lurker. I'm sorry for effectively holding the Iron Islands back from actually doing anything with my absence and hope someone will pick them up for a go, since clearly I'm not cut out for running an entire Kingdom's storyline, or any storyline, for that matter. I'm not going to ask for forgiveness or anything, as I know I don't deserve it, but good job so far and I look forward to excellent writing from everyone in the future. (If I can manage to sneak on and read, that is.)

I'll go and remove that eyesore of a WIP now. :gray
