Greetings everyone,

Some of you may have noticed that my characters, Ossilr and Naois, have not been active in quite some time. Some of you know why that is. Now all of you will (if you actually take the time to read this, of course).

Early in December, I signed a six year contract with the US Air Force. I leave for basic training on December 29th.

Unfortunately, this is my farewell post. I do not know if it is temporary or permanent, but I do know that I will not be logging in for quite some time.

I want to thank Draven, Galt, Apoloc, and Rytixal for influencing my RP throughout the years. Marisa for being like a second mother to me. Alvetta for making Naois playable when Alondra and Lyaewyn were scarce on waking. Scarlette, thank you for making both my characters fun. Alondra and Lyaewyn -- you should know that you made my time here much more enjoyable, as I stopped waking when we couldn't play together anymore. And of course, thank you to everyone who has played a family member of either Ossilr or Naois over the years -- but thanks especially to Lalaith, who showed me IRE and introduced me to MUDs.

I look forward to seeing all of you again, though it might not be as a familiar face next time. I also appreciate those who keep me in thoughts and prayers as I undergo training.

Thank you all, for everything.
