Hmmmm... I may have to move without people and unfortunately push forward, Grim's control of the severed alicorn horn is a vital part of my plot direction, and if he continues to be absent I may have to act on my own accord and take it regardless. I sent him a message about three weeks ago regarding this and I still haven't gotten a response out of him, so I am going to give him another week to appear so we can sort this out or Astral is mysteriously going to lose that horn to metal vagrants whilst he is sleeping. I know it isn't approved of, but its one of the few ways I can work around it -and people leaving me in these situations is beginning to seriously irritate me. Dawns absence too has effected how Scalpel's work goes as he no longer has a possible route of access to Arcon's Library -given Dawn hasn't posted in over two months, I can't see it being resolved anytime soon- which is part of why the dream god is appearing in Scalpels mind. Basically, if they don't appear soon I will act accordingly in this interest of my own story, because these month long disappearances are really causing huge technical difficulties. Its infuriating.
