I've never made a combined post before... I really like it! Responded to both Zombie/Fallen & FreeFall in one post. Whaddup? 

My plan is to continue the Chico plot despite the loss of Aweena. Her characters can sort of fade into the action, leaving them available, just unknown. If she's still gone in a month or so, we can talk about moving the characters to NPCs or opening them for adoption by other players. 

Also, FreeFall, I hadn't thought Mackinac could be its own plot point, but now I am. Let's see where this goes and perhaps as we get Apocalyptica back to health, this too can grow. The roleplay has tons of possibilities, many of which Aweena and I had planned to explore. I see this as an excellent 'pathfinder' to seeing just what's possible. I'd also invite others to create second Primary Character if this moves them. I know with Simon, I feel there's much more to explore, but the divergence into Joshua is extremely refreshing. If others would like to, I'd gladly take second characters so long as they help out other areas of the RP. For example, Simon is a part of the Chico plot & Joshua is in the Mackinac line. Perhaps this can usher in a new wave of creativity, aye?
