I have just as little from him as I have the rest of you. If I had any power I'd say just post in IC anyways, but in a way that doesn't really ruin the "forward movement" of the RP. If you can do some character development in flashbacks then do it. If there's anything else small you think you can do between your last post and ending up where you need to be then do it. If you're not with the core group yet like myself then just post (which I need to get to working on). With any luck we can keep this alive for at least a little while until Italian returns. If not, then we may have to decide on succession if we think the story is really worth it. And how exactly we're going to try and interpret Italian's unspoken will for his RP. I don't want us to step on his toes, but for the sake of keeping this RP running IC wise then we might.
