Hey so, um, my brother is being MEAN I'm not feeling like being hovered over with glares I told my brother I was coming over there tonight because he's mad at me and I'm mad back and it's stupid and, so, the point is, is that okay?

Right, following my own adv

Ava, though? Real
I want to preface with a reminder that I had just come back from the dead for the second time in my life when you showed up. That's not an excuse, it's just the motivation. I spent over two decades hating that woman where I came from, for what she did; how she betrayed what little trust I'd built by piggybacking onto the trust someone else had for her.

...but that was no reason to treat you the way I did and I'm sorry. You didn't do those things and you couldn't control that you'd been sent here at a really bad time (or at all). So, Jeff, for what it's worth, I really am sorry for my reaction. It's still fucking weird but And since Ryan seemed to take it so well, If you ever need anything — a place to crash, food, an open ear; whatever — Ryan and I are here. You'll just maybe have to be a little patient with me while I adjust to this whole thing...Ryan's resilient, but I'm an old man set in his ways. I'll get there, ya might just have to dog me into putting forth the extra effort, at first.

So I think we have conclusive results in all but one area.

We all seem to want to do the tether plot. We all (except one person SORRY ONE PERSON) want a mix of random and planned tethering.

We do, however, have an exact 50/50 split on whether to have the plot go for one week or two weeks. With that in mind may I suggest...
Potential Compromise Plan of Compromising: If, after one week, both players are like "Eh, done with this" then those characters can become untethered. Problem solved?

Also, how do we feel about starting this at 12am when Saturday rolls into being? Too soon? That would just mean whoever did the randomizing would need the names of characters who needed to be randomized by Friday sometime. I do not know if that person would be me since I often go out on Fridays (but may skip this Friday because of familystuff). So a potential volunteer to do that would also be good.

Also leave plotty things about who you want to tether to who riiiiight HERE!

ETA: from a comment to Jen on how tethering works: "I think what happens re: tethering, is that the character becomes unconscious (if they weren't already asleep), and wakes up within the tether range of the person they will be tethered to. They can either wake up right after it happens or sleep till morning. At least that is the way I remember it happening on War? So the pairs just sort of randomly decide who wakes up in whose room. And potentially whose bed (or the floor next to the bed) depending on how you play it hahaa"

Also if you don't want your character tethered then obvs we will not be like NO YOU MUST RAR. Because we are a democracy of comrades or whatever.

So, with everything bad I've been hearing about the forest. I guess tossing a few energy balls at it or setting it on fire won't exactly work. Don't worry, I'm not about to go near it anytime soon. Learning from the mistakes of others I'm glad everyone is alright now, though.

Also, I heard that staying at that hotel, tests are needed to be done first. So who should I speak with about that. It's sorta familiar in a way. I passed similar tests 24 years ago, and I'll pass these ones. I can meet you at a time and place convenient to you, just let me know.

Hey...I offered to test that Cole guy, but Penny Milligan is capslocking the shit out of me under a filter. You wanna come have my back? Do you think I need it...? I'm on my way down to meet him.

Sorry I was a jerk. I still maintain it was shitty for you to
