As much as I hate doing this, I think it's been a fairly long time now for everyone to throw a post out or excuse themselves suitably. The Fry hasn't responded in a very long time, so I'm going to consider them gone.
About Lyrix. I don't know how active you people want to/can be around thr christmasses. If everyone is gonna be gone anyway then I see no point in enforcing the takeover of his character now, as everything will come to a temporary, yet total halt anyway. On the other hand, if y'all are gonna be around and kicking it real hard, then I'll assume direct control asap.
