*ahem*
Long story made short: I need some time off to review, study and essay, because I'm not feeling confident at all about my characterization of Hakkai, so Hakkai won't be available or even around while I sort this out. It shouldn't take me too long, since I know what I need to be focusing on, buuuuuut February is also FAWM month, heh. This means my free time for RP will be considerably shortened. And since it wasn't a lot to begin with... well!
I guess what I'm trying to say (and this was supposed to be the short version?! LOL) is that this is to be treated as a retroactive disclaimer where applicable, because he's been scarce for a while now.
I'd like to apologize to everyone I owe replies to. ARI, ISHIDA, DEE, GOJYO AND THAT HORRIBLE THING HE WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM IN THAT POST, etc, I'M SORRY :(. I seem to be very talented at torturing myself when I feel like I'm sucking, no matter whether others agree that I do or not, and I just can't function in that kind of mental loop. And then it becomes a matter of pride for me to fix things. Fortunately, that's where I am right now. I'VE FINALLY GOTTEN PAST THE OMG RP ANGST PHASE, YAY, and I'm looking forward to going all in-depth & meta @ Hakkai once again in order to avoid disserviceing the character any further.
I'll be doing that in my spare time in February and I'll be back as soon as I feel "satisfied." I'm feeling all SHOUNEN SPIRIT!!!1 about this now. Sob.
A-also, I'd be 100% okay with resuming everything when he gets back, if you're willing ._.;. I know I'd love to, but it might not make sense anymore, depending... I'll ask when the time comes.
Hakkai's leaving a note for Gojyo, Goku and Ohno-san saying he's going to be teaching a vegetarian cooking course to the zombies. And some hyigiene and home economics primers while he's at it. Somehow, he didn't have a choice on that matter and had to go. SSSHH, THERE ARE NO PLOTHOLES. For the record, this is all backdated to last week, before CFUW began.
He'll be back in March, most probably. It might happen sooner, though! Yagyuu will stick around in February. As will I, on gchat-- that's ankari.iresdel attttttt gmail, if you need anything or just want to yell at me for being OCD... XD;.
