I'll miss you too, Kiya. I don't know what your reasons are, but I know they must be very good ones, and I deeply respect that.

I guess the story really is over. DQ and I tried to revive it, but it looks like the story has become a game and this sidebar has become a chat room. For those reasons, I think that the whole thing fell apart.

Too bad ... I was starting to like my character and several of the others, too. I think the story's premise has merit, and wouldn't mind starting it over on my own forum. Maybe there, I can moderate the off-line and out-of-bounds discussions.

Wish me luck. I'm outa here!
