Hey guys, sorry for being missing...

My grandfather died last Tuesday. It was a sudden shock, since he had just been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in both of his lungs and his bones on MONDAY. He died in the car on the way to my parents' house. So, he was diagnosed, and then died, in a single week.

So not only is my grandmother devastated, but we keep having to handle shit we shouldn't have to. (I.E. an old relative from his first marriage wanting his prosthetic knee since "it wouldn't melt when he is cremated")

Bah...anyway, what's happened so far?

Sorry to hear about that Raiden.

Someone beside one of TB's NPC's is gonna have to step up...

sorry, i've been out of the loop lately, but I Is back. (my in laws had a big 40th anniversary party yesterday so this weekend was preparing for that.)

Dude, you're attempting to cast spells on a bunch of magically attuned people, I'd suggest an edit or at least tone it down a little.

naw, let him... it'll be fun to see what the bigwigs do to him when they find out :) but you would think the house would have some wards against magical spying...

Oh Raiden, I'm so sorry to hear that! *hugs*

As I'm sure you'll see in my... ahem... emotionally charged post, the point was not to persuade them at all.

I did truly want Zack to be a valued member of the team, but I suppose a change from the amiable, valued team player is always good. At least to start. And no, I did not prepare the crying stunt as a way to win sympathy, at least from anyone except from the person who counts (AB, *wink wink nudge nudge* now would be a good time for that conversation of theirs). The various character facets of Zack should become apparent after that. At least, some of them.

Just thought I'd clarify as to my original intentions. :)

Let me get this straight, crying is how Zack picks up girls?
Brilliance!

Oh yes, Zack is quite a catch. Obsessive little man who runs out of rooms crying when a single person questions his actions.

He's lucky there is this forced relationship between him and the Mother already.

Heh, Jimmy is gonna get some... Wait, isn't that kinda risky?
