im also looking into a making character here (the naive type)... mostly just lurking and reading the story so far.

In any case I've also just found out that Tropical Storm Beryl will be sending ripples through my neck of the woods, so if there's any further delays in updates or responses it's probably safe to assume I lost power or something. My area is terrible about blackouts even in good weather, so I fully expect to lose power right as I'm in the middle of a post or something. DX
