Even if it's just for the day.

Dear IFH,

About a couple months ago, I couldn't have dreamed of seeing myself doing this. What with this place really being the first place I've engaged roleplaying in. This site has a little pocket in my heart for the people that I've met here and the threads I have been engaged in. I remember being so pumped to try and advertise for this place, and get really excited when someone had something going on.

Yet I just don't feel it anymore.

Something happened, and I'm not entirely sure when, but it ripped through my energy for this place. And it happened all in a tidal wave. And as much as I tried to keep it together and going for myself for this place, it's just become more cumbersome than relieving. And that isn't what roleplaying is about, yeah? It's an escape into the glorious pictures you can paint with your words...

Or a magical paintbrush. Have your pick~

But I have to say, I do feel a guilt with leaving -- especially with active threads going. So here I must try and atone. It is as unpersonalized as possible to be inclusive of everyone. But all I can really say is my apologies for leaving, and I truly hope all will remain well without me.

And yes. I am on another site. But that's not the reason why I'm leaving here. School has also been hectic (as you've been hearing from me in the cbox). I just wanted to clear that up...

Thank you, IFH, for welcoming me. You'll remain with me as the place I started at, and you'll forever stay in my bookmarks.

Hope this finds you well,
Me.

"Look at what it's come to..."

Man oh man. Seems like it wasn't that long ago, and I don't know what I can add that Skell hasn't already said. If you wanna blame the new place then blame the new place, that's okay--my fault, hate away. But I really feel like it's not that, it's just plain disinterest. It doesn't help that I've been strugglin' with Axel no matter where I am, and in hindsight Riku's just not my cup of tea. Between that and what inactivity has been going on, and what characters are most deeply involved, I just don't feel like there's much I can do here.

Which isn't to say it hasn't been fun and I won't miss you all. But I can't justify sittin' on Riku when a better one could come along, and I don't have the energy for this place anymore. That said, I know I'm supposed to be Riku here but I came as Axel so I'm leavin' as Axel, got it memorized~?

No matter what, I hope IFH keeps goin'!

"See ya."

Oh, man.

I hate to hear that you guys are leaving. I know, I could have responded to this sooner, but I didn't have my mind gathered enough to think of a response. (So, chances are, you two may never read this, but, if you do, it will be here. Waiting.)

You two were great members of the site. Axel, you were with us since IFH was a baby, and Skell, you've been dedicated enough to seem to always find a way to visit with us. We'll never forget what you guys have done for our site, and the wonders you've brought. As much as I hate to see you go, I don't intend to try to stop you.

Keep in mind, you're both always welcome back here, if even only to visit in the Cbox. We'll welcome you back with open arms, and warm cookies.

Maybe, someday, we'll meet again, someplace else, or even here. If not, it was fun while it lasted, and I'll linger on the idea of magically meeting up again until I've long abandoned roleplaying.

Best wishes to both of you,
~Marly
