I've said before that there's no really good way to say: "I'm dropping ___" without it sounding like some bizarre suicide note, and I don't generally say anything unless the pups being dropped have CR, and these guys do.

Josie Marcham (rendandmend)
Rune Parker (neverbeentold)
Ahiga Huyana (sunsetrising)
and most sadly: Sneaky McGee (sneakymcgee)

have all gone onto wherever people go when they're de-vortex'd.

On the upside, I've got some new ones what could use friends
There's The Cat from the American McGee version of Alice, he's found himself replacing a P.I. here (gone_mangy)
There's Serenity (yes, the ship) from Firefly, she's been here a while, she just doesn't get out much, she replaced a paleontology student at UC Berkeley (since_i_found)
And there's the one Sage already mentioned, Henry Stillman (henri_with_a_y), he's the boy version of Henn and he's eight. That's ... pretty much all there is to say about him.
