(also, if you clicked the video instead of finish reading this, GET BACK TO WORK. Because us and the internet can wait, like, forever. And even if we couldn't wait, nobody gets anywhere without making a choice to do it, and constantly picking that same decision even when alternatives become available or the path becomes difficult.)
Foster is right. Your work comes first. I can easily write your character into posts in the background until you have time to catch up, and it's not like you've been completely incommunicado, or don't have a good reason for being away. Get your schoolwork squared away, we'll still be here later, and we understand that RL stuff gets in the way of fun. Once you're not worrying about it, you can enjoy this more and it'll be like a reward.
