    Ryth leaned against the 'fridge door and took a deep sip from his drink. Everyone else was asleep, so he had the dorm to himself, and this was the way he liked it. There was no one else to bother him, and he could hear people on the floor below them, it was so quiet. He closed his eyes and thought.

    Something had been bothering him lately, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Something with Tamay. <span style='color:FF6600'>It couldn't be...</span> But it was like pushing a beach ball under the water, it kept popping back up. He drained the rest of the drink and leaned forward.

    <span style='color:FF6600'>The way she looks at Jyta... She thinks no one notices... And no one wants to, so they don't...</span> Satisfied with his brilliant deduction, he got himself another drink. In his carelessness, he let the door slam shut. Mentally cursing himself, he tried to drink in silence.
     
  2. ::Tamay rolled restless in her room, thinking of all the past events in her life, all the let down and heartbreak. she felt that maybe jyta would never feel the same away about her.. and this would be yet another lost cause. she pulled her blanked closed to her face, and she curled up in the fetal position, her mouth was dry, and whispy, she thought about getting up to grab herself a drink, but put it to the bad of her mind and tried to get back to sleep, she opened her eyes, and stood slowly, finally realizing that maybe a drink would help her sleep, a good glass of water.::

    ::Tamay got up and walked towards the kitchen, where she saw ryth as she turned the corner, nodding to him she gently opened the frige and got out some cold bottled water, smiling at ryth she said softly::

    why are you up so late? couldnt sleep either?

    ::Tamay opened the lid slowly, trying to stay quite, as she looked at Ryth::
     
  3. Jyta awoke in her bed. As was usual, she was wrapped in a nest of blankets and pillows, shielding off her body from the world. She was alone tonight. Even without peeking out from below the covers, the wine-colored femme knew that it was late. Searching for comfort, she sent a light mental probe about. She had a fairly strong telepathic gift, and was able to read thoughts just like most females. She tended not to use it, being more reliant on body language, but the little peek would tell her if anyone else was up. To her surprise, she encountered evidence that both Ryth and Jyta were up. She couldn't hear them, though, her ears were muffled by the blankets. Curious at what kept the two up, Jyta probed slightly deeper into Ryth's mind. Not enough for the Seductress to know his deeper thoughts, but just a look at what was on the top of his mind.

    <span style='color:#ff6600'>The way she looks at Jyta... She thinks no one notices... And no one wants to, so they don't...</span> Jyta stiffened. Surely he wasn't thinking about... Jyta went to Tamay's mind for confirmation. The thoughts were deeper here, and Jyta felt guilty. She knew it was wrong to violate another's trust as she was doing so casually, but she needed to know if Ryth's suspicions were misplaced.

    As she pried open the thoughts in her roommate's mind, she was laid low by despair, heartbreak. Loneliness and loss were mixed in with confusion, and Jyta quickly backed her probe away. She shielded herself the best she knew how, shivering. Being in a trade so involved with the emotions, and the replication thereof, she was somewhat of an empath. Such a sadness from a friend she knew so well wrenched at her heartstrings, demanding she do something.

    <span style='color:#660000'>No, no. I can't. Not... Not if she feels that way.</span> Jyta curled up into a fetal position, further winding herself into the tangled web of blankets. This wasn't possible, not Tamay. Jyta knew that she was kidding herself... Knew that Ryth was right. She hadn't seen because she didn't want to see. She shut her eyes tight. She could think of the glances and half-abortive gestures, all off the top of her head. She knew it was possible, but she hadn't ever been told that Tamay was bisexual. She hadn't asked, had simply presumed that she wasn't... Jyta knew the problem didn't end there. There was the issue of her feelings, as well. Jyta bit her lip. She couldn't kid herself any longer. <span style='color:#660000'>Bloody hell. I like Ryth, a lot... But... I'm in love with my room mate. Who's female. And I've got a boyfriend. Who I like. Damn.</span>
     
  4. <span style='color:FF6600'>"Yeah, I couldn't sleep, but I kinda like this time. What about you? Couldn't sleep?"</span>

    Ryth felt a little uncomfortable with Tamay, but not because of his discovery. <span style='color:FF6600'>Isn't it kind of weird that as soon as I'm thinking about her, here she is? No, I'm just being paranoid. Just a coincidence. The least I can do is carry on a conversation with her. It's not that she's bi, it's just that she hid it for so long... That must take some kind of mental strain. I don't want to test that. At least Jyta isn't...</span> He paused in thought, then reconsidered. <span style='color:FF6600'>Just because I didn't know...</span> Ryth shook his head, as if to fling those thoughts from his head.
    That wasn't his problem.

    <span style='color:FF6600'>"I guess Jyta's asleep? We could have a veritable party here."</span>

    ::Tamay nodded to Ryth and sipping on her drink, just thinking about everything right now, going to a new school and finally meeting some people who seemed to get along with her quite well. but yet she felt out of place. like something wasnt all there and not everything was being told, she watched Ryths eyes as he spoke to her, she could tell something was on his mind, his body language, the way he spoke to her, something didnt seem right, she went into thinking that maybe it was her who was doing something wrong, or maybe it was the fact that he liked Jyta so much, and she walts right in on their love.. that maybe he held it against her. Tamay leaned against the wall and tought to herself. that maybe going for a stroll and getting some fresh air would do her some good::

    im going to take a walk around campus, you are welcome to join me, im just going to go out and relax and get all my thoughts clear and just enjoy the evening

    ::Tamay grabbed a large hodded sweater and threw it over her head, she looked to Ryth and nodded as she walked towards the doorway, she quietly opened the door, not to wake up Jyta, and did the same while shutting it. Tamay walked along the abandoned hallway, looking at all the closed dorms and just thinking about everything that has been running through her mind::

    i dont know what im going to do, i love Jyta so much, but i doubt she would ever feel the same way for me, being a girl and everything, i dont even know if she goes for things like this, oh no. what have i done, ive ruined a wonderfull friendship with someone who i wanted to be so close to, now Ryth is here, they appear to have a thing for each other, i dont want to come in the middle, i dont want anyone to get hurt, better me then both of them, maybe i should just back off of Jyta, oh i dont know anymore...

    ::Tamay continued walkin down the corridor, until she came to a doorway, and walked outside, noticing some grass and a tree in a field, she walked over to it, and layed out in the grass, laying on her back looking up at the stars, and liquid emotions streamed down her face::
     
  6. Jyta curled up tighter still, her muscles wound impossibly tight. She could hear the muffled sounds of the door clicking, quietly. She presumed that whoever it was that had left was trying not to wake her up. <span style='color:#660000'>Considerate of them.</span> She wondered who it was that had left, and why. Perhaps one of them had angered the other, but she thought it far more likely that one of the others had simply stepped out for fresh air. Jyta knew that she should get up, get some water. Ryth or Tamay (whichever was left) wouldn't think too much of it, at any rate. They were up too, weren't they?

    Jyta began the difficult process of untangling the cotton sheets and satiny fabric of the bedding from her arms and legs. Once done, she sat on her bed, took a deep breath, and began to make herself look somewhat presentable. She wiped her eyes, put her bathrobe on, etc. Once done with all of that, she slunk to the kitchen. She had hoped, of course, that neither of her room mates were there. Ryth was, though. <span style='color:#660000'>Of course.</span> Jyta walked to the fridge without saying anything, grabbing a cold bottle of water. She laid it across her eyes for a moment before breaking the little plastic pieces that attached the lid and the strip of material underneath it. She took a gulp, attempting to avoid eye contact with Ryth as much as was possible.

    She looked down at the laminate of the counter, hoping against all odds that Ryth would not speak to her. She knew that, eventually, he would. But it would be him that spoke first, not her. Jyta was flooded by that odd feeling of hopelessness again, and had to choke back a sob. It was obvious that she was close to the breaking point, but she knew that it was entirely possible to pretend otherwise. <span style='color:#660000'>We've done it before, ne?</span>

    Jyta was worse off than the others might have been in her situation, simply because she was a social 'dragon. She lived because of the people that surrounded her. On her own, she was no good, really. That was why she had moved here, to see the 'dragons she used to surround herself with (Nurano, for the most part) and meet new ones. Without these ties, she was fragile. Without any of the ties... Well, she wound up like this.

    Jyta sniffed again, wondering what Ryth would do.
     
  7. Ryth was under no pretense that he really understood what was going on. <span style='color:FF6600'>Tamay should be the one upset, but she's fine, and Jyta's here, she's obviously been crying. What's wrong? Am I the one to be caught in the crossfire?</span> Ryth lifted himself onto the counter and sat on the edge.

    <span style='color:FF6600'>Well, Jyta probably wants me to say something. But I have no idea what to say. What is there to say? Jeez. I'm going to screw this up so bad, I can see it now. Something, I need something to say...</span> He pulled his legs to his chest, and put his head on his knees.

    Ryth closed his eyes and sighed. <span style='color:FF6600'>Maybe I was wrong. Maybe it was nothing. I had to be. Tamay... she would tell someone. Even if she didn't want to tell Jyta, she could tell me.</span>

    But Ryth knew better. <span style='color:FF6600'>I am the stranger here, I am the one that jumped in the middle of their peace and friendship, and stirred things up. Now, if I don't do anything, there won't be a friendship. If she doesn't want me to tell others, I could keep it a secret. I need to talk to her.</span> His mind made up, he got up and walked out the door without saying a word.

    He found Tamay outside, in a field. It looked like she had been crying, also. He sat beside her. In a quiet voice, he spoke. <span style='color:FF6600'>"You could have told me. I could have kept it a secret. I think she knows now. She's been crying. I think it hurt her most that you didn't tell her. You should go back now."</span>

    Ryth walked back to the room. He pushed the door open, and (again) without a word to Jyta, sat back on the couch. <span style='color:FF6600'>I really hate to not comfort her, now.</span> He spread himself out and closed his eyes.
     
  8. ::Tamay, laying outside in the cool damp grass, could hear restlessness from behind, she could sence that someone was coming close to her, she just kept quiet, wiping her face, to not show emotion, for not knowing whom it was, she was looking up towards distant planets and the stars of the universe, just trying to think of what could be done, or what may happen, trying to prepare herself for the worse, and thinking of alternate options.::

    <font color="#C4C4C4"> i dont know what to do, i just dont know what to think, i want to be alone, but i love her so much, ive fallen for her, and now ive trapped myself into a corner. Ryth has feelings for her, i know he does, i can tell when he is near me, when he is near her </font>

    ::Tamay, turned around to see Ryth coming towards her, she immediately closed her eyes and breathed deep, as he came closer, he starting speaking to her, she listened, and didnt know how to respond to him, the only words that left her mouth::

    <font color="#C4C4C4"> i dont even know how to explain how i feel, and its nothing to do with you, you havent come into anything. we will all work this out. i just need my space right now. </font>

    ::After saying this, she turned her head around, lowering it, looking towards the ground as the soft breeze moved the grass in a very rythmic motion, she closed her eyes as a tear streamed down her cheeck, Tamay placed her head upon her hands and began to cry::
     
  9. Jyta barely registered Ryth's leaving on anything other than a subconscious level. Once he left, she quit holding back the burning tears, and began to create her own mini deluge on the kitchen counter. Eventually it stopped, and was replaced with a dull ache somewhere in the pit of her stomach. Taking another sip of water, Jyta stared at the blinking florescent light. <span style='color:#660000'>We need to get that fixed...</span> Jyta knew she was just stalling in her mind from dealing with the absolutely awful stuff going on around her, but she did it nonetheless.

    When Ryth entered back in, she didn't bother to turn her head. She knew it was him, by the step. He had a more cautious step, unlike Tamay who was rather brazen. Plus, she could see his reflection off of the metal sink faucet. She heard the sound as he sat back down, avoiding speech. She sighed, knowing that they couldn't go on avoiding each other for too much longer. Jyta wanted to sit down, and be next to, with anybody; anything to quiet the roaring pain of loneliness. At the same time, she knew she couldn't. Not when there was... this, all going on. She compromised by sitting at the far end of the couch that he had settled on. It was supposed to seat three, so there was room between them. Jyta curled up against the arm of the thing, with her back towards Ryth. She sighed, knowing that the ache still wasn't going to go away.

    She made an animal sort of whine, since no word accurately represented what she felt. <span style='color:#660000'>"Dammit."</span> Jyta would have veered off into a rather colorful string of curse words, but she didn't have the energy, at this point. She turned her head over her right shoulder, peeking at Ryth. She looked somewhat foxlike in the dim light, especially with her red fur. She followed the motion with the rest of her body, her eyes still on Ryth. She knew she should say something, but couldn't think of anything. Her normally garrulous self was quieted. The only noise she could make was the pitiful, sad little groan.
     
  10. Ryth peeled open one eye with enormous energy. Jyta was looking at him, just as he had thought. Skon's sixth sense had rubbed off on him, and he could tell when someone was looking at him. He thought he would probably give anything to know what she was thinking.

    Her groan broke his heart. He couldn't just lie there. He moved his head to the other end of the couch. Now they were back-to-back. He decided to talk, even if she wouldn't.

    <span style='color:FF6600'>"I can't tell you what I think about this whole thing, because I'm not sure I do. But if you could tell me, anything, anything at all, I might be able to understand, at the very least. If nothing else. I'm not forcing you to tell me, but quite the opposite. But I think I'd be able to not tread on any sensitive nerves if you tell me where they are. And the fact that I have no clue what's going on, and want to. Here, I'll start: 'Did you know that Tamay liked you? And if so, when did you figure it out?'"</span>

    Ryth prayed that he hadn't gone too far, or that she would want to talk about it. He was no psychologist, but he was pretty sure keeping things like this to yourself wasn't a good idea.

    ::Tamay, who was still outside at the time, slowly stood and made her way towards the school entrance. she was beginning to wonder if coming to this particular school was a blessing or a burden. she was so lost in her own emotions that she felt she lost control of her entire life. and everyone in it, she walked down the darkened hallway, only lit by emergency lighting, walking up the hall towards her dorm. she could hear Ryth talking and didnt know if she should enter the dorm or not, but she just wanted to get back into her warm bed and go to sleep, she didnt want to think about anything else tonite, and she figured she would miss her morning classes the following day. Tamay came up to the door, placing her hand on the knob, she slowly opened the door, trying to keep quite, not to interupt Ryth and Jyta, she didnt know what they were talkin about adn therefore didnt want to become the center of attention by making a racket as she entered.::

    ::Tamay walked over, to where they were sitting on the couch, and sat down in the chair on the other side of the room, looking over at them, hoping she wasnt making them feel uncomfortable, she didnt know what to say, or how to explain everything running through her mind, but she figured someone had to do something so she spoke softly to both Ryth and Jyta::

    i dont know what to say to either of you. we need to fix this. all of this.

    ::with these words a tear ran down her face, she couldnt stay after saying this, for she would break down, and didnt want either of them to feel it was there fault, so she stood, and walked quickly into her bedroom, curling up in the fetal position under her warm blankets, she cried, laying her head upon her pillow, her eyes now burning like the fire destroying a woodland forest, she closed them, laying there in silence::
     
  12. Jyta sighed and snuggled into Ryth. She was glad to have him there. It was a purely platonic snuggle, for the moment, she was just glad to have someone to (quite literally) lean on. She was about to reply, when Tamay entered. Hearing her thoughts on the matter, Jyta nodded. They were right, both of them. <span style='color:#660000'>I don't have the right to string them along... I need to decide. Or break it of with both, or something, but I need to do it tonight.</span>

    Jyta took a breath, more to steady herself than anything else. Wiping feebly at the tears that had gathered at the corners of her eyes, she croaked an almost silent, <span style='color:#660000'>"Yeah. Yeah we do."</span> before choking up again. She took a few more breaths, mentally cursing the sudden absence of her usual blithe chatter. <span style='color:#660000'>"We really do... And, I don't know, Ryth. I knew as well as you did, though I probably ignored it more. Okay, now 'tis your turns. Do with that information what you will, I'm not going any further until I hear something from someone else."</span> She was glad she had managed that much, she hadn't thought she'd be able to speak at all. She made the little half-groan noise again, but tried not to. The attempt wound up with her choking and coughing for a moment, until she was able to clear her throat and resume reclining against Ryth.

    Jyta noted absentmindedly that her earring was still in. She didn't usually sleep with it, but she figured that she must have been tired and forgotten. She reached up and removed the golden hoop from her ear, and began to fidget with it. Her mother had always scolded her for fidgeting, but she couldn't help it. She was like a bird in that respect. <span style='color:#660000'>Bright shiny thing! Bright shiny thing!</span>
     
  13. Ryth sighed, and started talking, starting in nowhere in paticular and with no direction in mind.

    <span style='color:FF6600'>"I don't really know... don't know what you want me to tell you. You've known Tamay for much longer and me, and I don't know, it just seems like I'm the only one not in tears over this. I feel like some course-hearted guy who doesn't cry at his grandmother's funeral. But, I'm stuck in the middle. I feel uncomfortable, it's like walking in a mine field, and I didn't set it up. I cant' tell what will make people feel better, or set them off, and I'm not willing to take that chance right now. I feel like I've come in and screwed around with you and Tamay. It's silly, I know. 'It would have happened anyway', you'll say, but that doesn't make me feel any better. It's just coincidence probably, but I can't help thinking it's my fault. I can't tell if I'm a stranger here, or accepted into the group. I'm just being paranoid, but this has put me away from you two. In a different group. But I can see what's going on between you two, and I... I'm sorry. That's not the right words, but I've never been much of a speaker. I hope you understand what I'm saying. I don't pity you, I don't... I'm just sorry."</span>

    Ryth leaned back into Jyta's shoulder.

    ::Tamay layed in her bed, not hearing what Ryth had said, she layed on her back, curled up in her blanket, she was considering moving back home, getting out of this school and getting away, she couldnt have these feelings and also get her grades she needs. Tamay was confused, and heartbroken, she thought that if she just left, Ryth and Jyta could be together. but she didnt want to give up so easily, when she knew she had the willpower to overcome this obstacle::

    ::Tamay held her heart shaped pentogram necklace in her hands, just starting down at it, the sky seemed to have become darker than before, the moon shining down through her window, she stared up at it, in a very awkward position, hoping that someone may come in and talk with her, but that would mean she would become upset and she didnt want this::

    ::Tamay stood up, know what she had to do, she had made up her mind, holding her necklace in her hand, she slowly walked into the living room where JYta and Ryth were laying, she slowly walked over to Jyta and just looked into her eyes, sighing softly, she leaned in and kissed her::
     
  15. Jyta sighed and suppressed a sarcastic retort. Ryth was trying, at least. <span style='color:#660000'>More than I can say for myself... I need to make a choice. They may not blame me for it (who am I kidding, they will), but I'm the common denominator in this case. It's up to me. Me, Jyta Telbaj, the infamously "do first, think later", hardheaded, talkative absolute bitch who has been rendered thoughtful, introspective, and Gods forbid quiet by this whole enterprise. Lovely.</span> Jyta's thoughts were running to the incoherent side of things, now.

    Suddenly, (of course) Tamay approached Jyta and laid one on her. Jyta's nerves were already almost to the breaking point, and Jyta had her hand half up to slap Tamay before she could think of what she was doing. She didn't carry through, she didn't want to carry through, but she knew that Tamay would probably have seen the abortive gesture. It had been base instinct, nothing more, but... <span style='color:#660000'>{Damn. I didn't mean-- I'm sorry.}</span> Jyta was mentally cursing herself.

    Jyta tucked her head to her chest. She was thinking, now, since she had gotten beyond the somewhat annoying "woe is me" stage. <span style='color:#660000'>We're never going to get out of here if I keep this up. Let's have them decide.</span> Jyta stood up, turning to face Ryth and Tamay. <span style='color:#660000'>"I'm not going to be able to decide on this. You both know that. So, as horrible as it may be, I'm leaving this room. You two discuss and decide which of you could really put up with me. Or if both of you could do it. And living arrangements, all that good stuff. When you've decided, telepath me."</span> Jyta spun on her heel and exited, heading off to (a rather confused and bleary-eyed) Nurano and Nafel's shared dorm room.
     
  16. Ryth gaped as Jyta exited the room. <span style='color:FF6600'>"Do-... Did sh-... She didn't just..."</span> He shut himself up at that point. There was no point in just babbling on and on. He sighed and sat down, resting his hand on a fist. <span style='color:FF6600'>"She was right. The really was no other way. I should have seen if coming, but I was being too idealistic, wishing it would all come out right if we just talked about it. Nothing really does work that way, especially something this big. I liked to think this didn't involve me, but it did."</span> He didn't care if Tamay or anyone heard this, it was just for himself now. If it made her feel better, so be it. If it made her want to take her emotions out on him, that would work too. He felt like he needed a good beating for what he'd done here. He sat up straight and addressed Tamay. <span style='color:FF6600'>"I don't know, I'm pretty sure this would have worked out infinitely better if I wasn't here. I don't think I'm leaving right now, but if you want me to, I will. I just may anyway. I don't care about this any more. I've obviously intruded on you guys here, and that's not something I set out to do. If I had known how you felt about Jyta like I know now, I never would have bothered you two. I'm sure it would have been fine without me. I'm sorry about this whole thing. Is there anything you want to say?"</span>
     
  17. ::Tamay just sat and watched as her entire world colapsed right infront of her, Jyta walked off and Ryth was left, speaking to her, everything was in such a twindle, no one knew whether there were coming or going, let alone who felt what for whom, she listened to Ryth and sat silently for a short time, trying to gather her thoughts, so that she would speak with ease and not regret later something being said now::

    i dont know what you want me to say to you. im going to stop all this. im going to leave. she cannot expect you and i to chose who is going to like her, that isnt right. if you liked her first and you told her first, then i should back off

    ::With this Tamay, grabbed her trenchcoat, and threw on her headphones, walking towards the door, placing her hand on the cold doorknob, and walking out, closing the door quietly behind her, she starting walking down the lonely hallway, she had seen just a short time before, she was going to walk, until she was exhausted, she was going to find a forest and just go and be at peace, relax, and be alone::

    Jyta waved at a sheepish Nafel and a somewhat angry Nurano. She had woken the poor girl up, and so she was now naked and tired. The girl wasn't especially modest, at least not when it was two in the morning and the only people around were her mate and her mate's cousin. Nafel gave a tired smile and wave, and gestured to the couch.

    <span style='color:#00cccc'>"Of course you can stay here tonight... We don't mind. Tell us what happened in the morning, I am going to bed."</span> She turned and went back to the bed that she and Nurano shared, falling asleep fairly quickly. Nurano, however, didn't. He'd been still awake when Jyta had gotten into their dorm room (the locks there were surprisingly easy to pick), and was now somewhat angry.

    <span style='color:#666666'>"The bloody hell? What happened to that Ryth fellow, or your room mate? You're an adult, you can't just--"</span> He was cut off by Jyta.

    <span style='color:#660000'>"Shit happened. Can I use your couch?"</span> Jyta realized that in her dramatic storm out, she had forgotten extra clothing. She would have borrowed something of Nafel's, but the girl was so small that it was unlikely anything would fit her. <span style='color:#660000'>Looks like I'm sleeping with the bird.</span> was Jyta's only thought as she spotted the trisk caged in the corner of the living room. For the second time that night, Jyta turned on her heel and flopped down on the couch. Nurano just shook his head, returning to tinkering with some mechanical device on the desk by the wall. Jyta feigned sleep, trying to at least get some rest before the next tsunami of emotional problems hit her.

    <table class=ooc><tr><td>Really, really sorry for holding you guys up. My first excuse was that I don't know what to write (still don't), then I said I was too busy. But I'm posting now, so sush. It may be a little short, seeing as there's no one to talk to.</td></tr></table>


    Ryth stared numbly at the wall. He had nothing to say, nor anyone to say it to. He didn't want to follow Tamay, with the amount of success he had last time. He didn't want to follow Jyta, she obviously wanted to be left alone. All he could think to do was to go to sleep. <span style='color:FF6600'>No matter what happened, it could wait until morning. I will have a cleared head, and be able to think about the task better. Yeah. That's it.</span>

    But underneath that calm thought process, panic was already in session. But he couldn't let it get to him, or else he'd get nothing done. So Ryth followed his own instructions and crawled into bed. But sleep was the hard part. He may have had no one else to talk to in the room, but he had himself to get into arguments with.

    <span style='color:FF6600'>You can't just shove your problems by just going to sleep, and hoping they're fixed by the time you wake up. Not this time.
    "I'm not running away. I just need to let the others have some time alone."
    Then go talk to Tamay, go talk to Jyta.
    "They need this time to recoup as much as I do."
    You're just scared they'll push you away. You're just frightened that she'll leave you behind.
    "I think nothing of the sort."
    Liar. I bet she doesn't like a weasel, like you.
    "It's no use arguing with you."
    </span>

    But it was no use, he could get no sleep now. He paced the room, thinking of nothing in particular, at first, but every time he let his mind wander, it would end up on the problem at hand. <span style='color:FF6600'>I need something to get my mind off this.</span>

    <table class=ooc><tr><td>Okay, the characters are now all split up. I think we should just end the thread like this, and resolve it anther time. What say you? Close the thread or leave it open?</td></tr></table>
