((Well, it's official. Due to a bad run of bills coupled with a truly shitty paycheck, my Better Half and I are hard up. Enough so, that we spent two hours in an extremely seedy Plasma bank today, only to discover that we were being bumped to a different day. A week from now. When we'll -have- money. Thereby making it a moot point.
However, this sudden lack of funds means that even thirty bucks is essential, and since the billing cycle has yet to hit us, it looks like we're going to have to temporarily suspend our CoX accounts, to recoup the loss. This is by no means a permanent thing; all of our bills and rent are paid up, we're just hurting for the loss temporarily, and we could use the tiny boost.
Before I do, however, I want to make sure everyone knows I will be back, and I will keep posting on here in the meantime. Assume Ivy's locked down in schoolwork and Greta's just conspicuously absent or under extreme duress in the lab, and I'll figure out something IC and post it to corroborate these stories. I also want to make sure, from someone more 'in the know', that doing this won't delete all of our characters; that would suck wholeheartedly.
Anyway, this change isn't immediate, but it's coming on soon, and I wanted to keep y'all informed, since, well, I'm pretty damn fond of this group. I'm not bailing, I just gotta obey Real Life Aggro first. It Taunts better, even if it does Con purple.
See how I make nerdy jokes to hide the shame? See how good I am?

(Cancelling the account wont delete the characters.
You will be missed!!!))
((Good, that was my big fear. We've both put a lot of work into our accounts in a short time, and don't wanna lose what we have.
Thanks, Fel! Gonna miss you guys, too.))
[ How awful. I entirely sympathize as well. These days, it seems everything is more expensive, from gas to food to insurance to water bills. It's enough to drive a girl to distraction.
Please know that our hearts and thoughts are with you. I speak for everyone when I say Greta and Ivy and very dear members of our circle, and that you as a player are even more dear. If you're still going to have email, beam me a note any time. I'll geek out with you on a moment's notice. ]
Gah, I'm sorry to hear you'll be departing, who will call Sandre names while you're gone! *sigh* But yes, I do hope things turn up a bit better over the upcoming months. I'll be looking forward to your triumphant return (and the yummy stories you'll be posting in between!). And yes, to 2nd FelFel, I deactivated my account for 3-4 months while I tried Conan and Pirates of the Burning Sea, and nothing bad happened to Mai or any of my other toons.
((Ugh, sucks totally but you're doing a brave thing. Even when I was unemployed I left it to the -very- last minute to cancel my accounts when things got tight, so I can sympathize. But fret ye not, we'll be here waiting for your return, and look forward to it.
Until then, take care, don't forget to eat and do those other important things!))
((As mentioned, CoX does NOT wipe accounts; nor any character names above 5th or so [and those only after a few months].
On a personal note you will very much be missed by this RPer. Your characters provide essential sinew to the body of this group. None the less, good travels Doctor, until we 'fence' again. :) ))
(( Awww!! If I weren't so strapped myself, I'd gift you a bit of cash to keep the gaming going. But it sounds as if you'd not have time to enjoy it anyway. Financial stress is indeed Monster class. Trust me, I KNOW.
And as far as I know, cancelling an account only suspends the timer on your Vet Rewards, so you might get the new shiny a few days late.
In the meanwhile, we'll keep the whips oiled and supple, and make sure all the toys are clean and charged... and in some cases, sharp. *mwah!*))
(( No worries, things like happen, and we are totally here for you to chat and what not! I can't wait for this rough patch to be over, and for you to be back on top again.
PS. Thessa is gonna miss Ivy and Dr Tod lots! And so does the player ^_^ ))
(( *hugs* The school will be a lot quieter in your absence; but RL comes first, much as I wish it could be otherwise. :( ))
((Nuts, and here I was hoping to have Rizz pester Greta more. Things will work out, hang in there!))
((Well, there we go. I'm paid up until the 10th, so, I got...tomorrow when I can hop on, before and after my Tabletop game, aaaaand that's it for a couple weeks.
Man, it's like pulling teeth. Thanks for all the support, everyone! It means a lot to have this kind of backup.))
((...not just a few weeks, huh?))
