I never thought it would come to this, but it is time to quit Planeshift, for good...there are so many things going on in real life, I realize now that I cannot balance virtual and real equally. I wish that I could stay, but I just can\'t. I have proposed to my girlfriend, we are to be married 2 weeks from tomorrow, my brother has decided to take me, my girlfriend, and a few of his friends on a trip to Arizona for a week, to get away from the cold weather, thus no computer. There are other things, but I doubt people will read them anyway, and this post will sink to the back pages with getting tons of views and no replies, like the story-shorts I have written in the past.
I\'d like to come up with an ending to each of my characters before I leave, as to not leave them hanging.
Mitaki returned to the ruins of his home village, to see who sent the army that came after him, but was never heard from again.
Xilam found a new job in the Xacha village, but was killed in the process.
Xidus\' body had finally decayed, and the remains of his body became a fragment of the Dark Crystal.
Nukasa returned to the hills to do some more training after getting beaten by Narita, but was caught off guard by an ulbernaut. He did not survive the brutal beating.
Aral wandered too far out of town, and was attacked by a clacker. He did not survive.
Tharo had been beaten to death by a claymore in its next job, thus finally making it fall apart.

Now, I would like to say goodbye to my so-called friends, but there are too many on the list (most whom don\'t even think of me as a friend), to type down. So, in short, bye to all of my friends, and acquaintances. It has been fun on Planeshift, I have learned much, and it has been the best year of my life. If only I could stay long enough to see the finished version...
