[quote=Lillian Thorne] Lovely posts, Sweet Antonia, she makes me choke up. I liked the line about "closed-off heart."[/quote] Oh Lil, if you know me at all by now, you know I was going to get my hug for Oksana in, one way or another *evil text grins because I do not have your evil smiley GM emoticon* And I was gonna do it with the one character I felt pretty sure, Oksana wasn't going to punt across the room! *preens proudly* *edited because Heroes posted and made most everything moot* :lol [quote=Lillian Thorne]Are you all on board with moving everyone to a conversation about "what next"? Or should we all move towards hunkering down for the night? We have a couple of ways to play this out, a torchlit journey up the mountain or that can be done in the morning. Let's figure out the general course of action via OOC so we can move there IC. Speak up, what is it you would like to do? [/quote] I know Vasily cannot leave the village until Sergei's body at least is likely laid up in a tomb of some sort for winter deaths - frozen ground is nigh impossible to dig into for graves. So morning would be best, in my opinion, but of course I can work with anything at all - totally flexible!
