Official Sword Status Update
Since I said to Niki that I'd make things a little clearer on the OOC comm for the rest of you, I'm just clearing up that I'm still technically on hiatus with my other characters.
I'm restricting myself currently to one character in each game that feels most like an outlet and least like work (thus my picking up of Neku in Dux instead of trying to keep Sakuya around longer), and Whis is that character that gets to be let out of the musebox called my head in order to dip his fingers in the wtf that is coating the No Zone at the moment.
For the others!
Boomer is out of commission for quite some time. Chances are, as soon as Zed was verified captured, he flipped his shit and went on full offensive, and is currently either restrained, in HQ's psych ward, or both. Either way, this WILL have serious ramifications on the character when he comes out of hiatus, and the Zone Cops may have a position open for Head Dispatch due to his inability to stay cool under pressure.
Booknerd is a student. We don't expect those to be overly active, since even if the new teacher isn't Carson, it's bound to be someone just as relentless.
Red is around, but he's not using his comm. He's got a depressed O'Reily to hug, and a bakery to run while O'Reily is helping out the ZCs. He does request that he gets first dibs on exploding this Zeta fucker's head when he's finally captured, but knows that's just a pipedream.
Likewise, Fleur is around. In fact, Stripey and Twi may have gotten a few little things to cheer them up from her and Marms, because she DOES care for Stripe, git that he may be. She knows she's in a situation where the best thing she can do to help is to just keep the peace amongst the normal people, though, so she's doing her best as Marms's newest teagirl/bouncer. ♥
SO YEAH. Whis is considered active, and after mod consultation, it is pretty well determined that he imagined someone catching wind of his investigation and spent the last month holed up in the middle of nowhere like a paranoid shit. :V
