Welcome back, Sparky. 
Now, hopefully TH will return soon, and we can get moving again...

Ioleta wakes, sore and grumpy, to her watch. She checks a snarl at the one rousing her and looks down abashed, dimpling a shy smile instead. "Sorry," she murmurs. She stands rubbing her lower back before stretching mightily and relaxing. Checking that everyone is sleeping safe and sound she begins her soft-padding rounds of the campsite admiring the ferns and marvelling at rings of mushrooms that silently and swiftly sprouted around the campsite in her sleep.
She peers into the shadows and around the camp alert and tense, sling at the ready, but it isn't long before curiosity overcomes her. She wraps the sling neatly around her knuckles and moves cautiously over to Jaan's dreaming form. His backpack is nearby and she pauses, hand hovering over the pack's fasteners wondering what the silent man holds dear enough to carry with him. She looks at his sleeping face, slack, without the earnest intensity of his conciousness.
Breathing quietly she turns to the backpack and cautiously undoes the pack's fasteners with frequent glances to Jaan and occasional ones out into the forest that she is supposed to be watching.
OOC: Wonder if TH is on his way. We can have some fun 'til he pops back in. What will Ioleta find? Will she be discovered? Who by? And hey, I enjoyed reading everyone's dream stuff. Very cool.

ooc: Its been a month since TH's last post, and no news. What do people want to do?
1 - Hang in there a bit longer. TH runs a good game, and the group is a great one. I really would hate to see it go.
2 - See if anyone else wishes to pick things up from where they are now?
3 - Ask a judge to 'IC magic' our characters back into town so they can start again.

OOC: Option 1 for me. I was hoping a bit of player driven RP would make the wait seem shorter, but there haven't been any bites... So...
I know when a game gets stale I start to look for other games, and when the stale game heats back up and I've joined another game I end up over-committed... I propose we open an 'in the meantime' game in the bigger PbP forum for just the players in here with whatever characters we want and go. I'll open up a thread. It'll at least be diverting. If some or all of you aren't interested I'll go ahead and over-commit myself :/ and run the thread with *gasp* strangers!
And so, I'd like to announce - Tales Around the Campfire!

Option 1 here too. Its not the wait so much as the uncertainty. But Your Campfire Tales looks interesting. I've posted up to the new thread.
And I agree, overcommitting is bad news. You do it, get overwhelmed and then your hobby becomes a burden. Been there unfortunately. But lived to tell the tale.

I agree that we should wait awhile...
I will be out of town, starting this Friday (8-13). I'll be back Monday (8-16).

Not wanting to sound impatient, or anything... but, today marks two months since we last heard from TH in this game.
Do we still want to wait, or take one of the other options doghead presented earlier? Don't get me wrong, I like this game as much as anybody else, even given my character's current situation... but still.
