So This Is...
More than anything, I'm just sad about this.
Regardless of my attempts, I cannot drum up enough usable interest in the storylines that my characters can be involved in - and it seems I can't quite manage to make my characters stick with other peoples' storylines -- they all seemed to evolve away from my characters or my characters evolved away from them. I'm not pointing fingers or assigning blame, unless I'm pointing fingers and assigning blame to myself. But however you put it, whatever you call it, I'm not enjoying myself here. It's time for me to invest in more fruitful prospects.
Shade & Mila, if you need me, go ahead and get in touch with me outside Caeleste. I don't expect to be responding here.
Thanks, guys, for giving Caeleste so much of your time. It was nice to see the game work so well for most of us. Now go blow Kenyon up, LOL. Tag that storyline "THE FALL, PART III" or something equally lulz-worthy. Heh...
