Nope, and nope. Not really sure where you got that idea from. At last count, my character was next to Dragonmancer's, talking with him before he got caught up in a duel with Garland's. Since the Duel ended and Garland's char wandered away while Dragonmancer hasn't posted IC since, it's probably a safe bet to assume my character is still there and still bored out of her tiny skull.
Or, if you want, feel free to move her wherever, i won't mind too much.
