Marina was my second RP ever, and I feel more welcome here than I did at my first-- which is saying something, I think, since I joined my first with friends. It never ceased to amaze me with the overreaching plot of the prison, something my first didn't have, and I loved Agatha, her raptors, and Sentience's quirks.
Sadly, I had to leave because RL was kicking my ass extremely hard, but as you can see, I didn't stay away too long. How could I, with Kay and Li pestering me such amazing CR and development going on? And I came back to the RP closeness that was there before, and made it better by actually getting in chat and meeting lots of incredible people.
So, congrats Marina for a full year, and know that you'll always have a place in my heart.
