Baulder's out for a day.... or a couple.....
I'll likely, if the players wish it, do a small timeskip to allow PC development and causal interaction. However, due to past lulls causing the IC to grind to a halt for months on end, I'm going to put a 3-4 day limit on replies during that period so we're not spending months or a year on the same moment. Unless you mention you need an extra day or so, which I will expect a reply on the stated date or will move the scene. So Baulder will be able to act out or do something during the lull by that time. He'll still be a bit stiff I would imagine though.
