You're older than you've ever been.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.

To All Loyal DOTFers:

I spent a long time thinking up an elaborately complex post in order to tell you a couple of things.

One: I'm leaving the RPG world, for good this time.
Two: How much fun I had RPing with you guys.
Three: How much I appreciate the work you put into this site J-J, and the dedication from everyone else.

Fortuanately, for you, there was a lot more I wanted to say but now I can't remember it. I know that I, myself, have been slacking, and did for the past three openings of this game. I'm sorry for that, and for this. But the RPG world has lost its appeal, it's spark, it's newness and intrest for me. I loved this game since the minute I opened it. I never knew, when I got some crazy idea for my first, and only, RPG after watching Star Wars, that it would lead me to make such great friends on the net. Especially, J-J, Janey, Rere, and Ali, who have come back time and time again to play in this game that has lately, been going down-hill. I became extremely attatched to my characters in the year and a half of playing in this game. At first, I chose the names and characters of them so randomly, for lack of better ones, and now they've developed into the most fun I've ever had RPing. I could not choose another game that I've liked better than this one, because of the tight knit atmosphere everyone's helped to create. Thank you all for helping turn my small, spurr of the moment idea, into something that was big for me. I believe RPing has helped my writing skills greatly, and has given me a lot to think of in terms of books I'd like to write but never will. ^_^

The lyrics on the top and bottom of my post are from a song by 'They Might Be Giants'. I was listening to the song at my friend's house and realized that it applied to my computer life. I felt I was getting older and older, more tired, dragging the weight of my obligation to the game behind me for no reason except that I promised I would. Now that I know I'm leaving, living again, the way I lived without my non-existant world, I feel a lot lighter. I am moving this summer, as many of you know. But before that, I'm going on vacation with my cousin. She is my best friend and I havn't seen her since my grandmother died, and I know that I wouldn't be able to have as much fun with her if I was thinking constantly of what was going on with the game.

If you'd like to know, this is what I had planned for the future of the Land of Fates:

The Final Battle was not actually suposed to end it all, as Apocalypse did have an heir, the young male Kumori. But during the battle, The Bounty Huntress turns on Apocalypse, not actually having been helping him for his benifit. If the core of their powers was to fall into her possesion, she would have taken it to her master, who, I hadn't figured out yet. But it turns out, Kismet, even though he's dead, was the core. So, of course, Apocalypse and Shadow are fighting over something that can controll Kismet's comings and goings from earth and heaven. In my first post where Shadow contacts Kismet, he used a kind of hour-glass, so that probably would have been the key. In the end, Shadow is reluctant to destroy the hour-glass because he fears he will never see his brother again, he crushes it between his teeth, destroying it apon Kismet's command and some blinding flash of light engulfs the entire territory. The sun finally comes out from behind the clouds, burning many from the Darkness Pack, and killing them. Apocalypse finally 'sees the light' so to speak, and dies. Since Shadow got the full blow of the explosion, he dies after Apocalypse. Sadira, however lives, so does YeahYeaH, since, as you all know, he can't technically die. The Bounty Huntress goes back into hiding. Kumori also lives, but, unlike his father, he was not turned, and continues his father's plight for power. When his father was living, he despised his way of trying to gain power, and with the core gone, he decides to seek power through force, mocking Apocalypse's morals of good and evil, weakness and power. He is fighting against Shadow's heir, which I had planned on being a female. For Kumori's ending, he would have been destroyed, along with the entire FoxEyes and Hunter lines, and that would have been the end of the powers, the Land of Fates, and the war between blood.

Well, now that I've said good bye, I guess it is time for me to go. J-J, you can do what you'd like with the game, maybe you can figure out a different plot, maybe before Shadow and Apocalypse's time, or something. Or you may want to just let it go. I'm not sure, but it's in your hands now. I'll really miss you, but of course I'm not gone from my side of the computer screen entirely. Everyone can contact me to just talk, take a walk down memory lane, or whatnot. I will have my homepage up soon. No, that's a lie, I've been saying that since March. Well, it'll be up whenever, and if you want to visit it out of shere boredom, e-mail me and ask for the address. Please try to accept my decision, as it is what I really want this time. I don't have any exscuse like school, family, stress, just that I've been RPing so long now (nearly four years) that I am exausted, and it's time I called it quits. I made a pretty picture (at top) representing the peace that would have fallen between Shadow and Apocalypse before they died. Well, I had better be off now, I'll miss you guys!

Love,
Nony
