goodbye friends I am gone

[controlledvariable]

This is one of the hardest posts I've ever written, because I adore this game and it's player base and all the wonderful CR I've had over the months. But it's time to bite the bullet and accept that I've been floundering for a few months now, and that I can't give this game the time and energy it deserves, which really isn't fair to everyone else.

So Steph is headed home. She'll have left letters and small gifts for people, the details of which escape me now but if a character of yours had close CR with her, you can just assume it was something nice and/or useful, or hit me up and I'll work something out. There are instructions for Bruce to look after the kitten, with the stipulation that he's free to send her to a good home if someone expresses interest (iirc Jehan did? So that option is there if someone wants it). And if anyone wants to know how an ongoing thread would have gone, I can be contacted for that, too.

I'm going to miss playing here so much and I definitely don't think this will be the end of my time in Tu Shanshu. I've got a half written app for another character (that should be easier to play in the game than Steph) that I will hopefully get finished sometime in the near future.

I want to ramble here forever about how much I love you but I'm gonna keep it short and sweet, so just thank you for the amazing threads and plots and everything else. Keep turtling on.

eta: If anyone wants to pick up the reins of the teensuperteam stuff that is definitely alright with me, and Steph would've left word with the teen Bats (and Damian) that they should keep working on helping each other if she ever disappeared.

I'm going to miss your Steph like air, love. Just so you know.

[controlledvariable]

Thank you darling :c

We will always have memes because I love playing with you okok

[trainwrecked]

Love playing with you, too. Sob, and I was just about to make a post asking about Noh-Varr. But Imma going to let the bats handle Steph's absence.

Guh. Love you so much, and it's been a joy and privilege, and. Always memes.

[controlledvariable]

I feel so bad about adding her disappearance on top of all the shit that's been going on. She would have left Damian a note apologizing and telling him that he's a good kid and that she'll see him at home :(

I love you too. And I owe you for bringing me here all those months ago <3 I've had some of the best fun RPing here

[demon_brat]

He'll be unhappy, he'll hide it, but he'll live. And he'll miss her. And, yes, they'll see each other home and it'll be all right. For a while. But, mostly all right.

<3 And I owe you for all the amazing that you brought here, so I think we're good. Guh. *curls up gently by*

[controlledvariable]

Shhh let's pretend the reboot never happened and they can be a happy Batfamily

You are much too kind bb <3

[demon_brat]

With great pleasure. BEST pretending!

<333

[cowled]

Excuse you Bruce is going to keep that damned kitten. IT TOOK HIM NINE MONTHS TO GET TO A POINT WHERE HE CONSIDERED STEPH WORTHY OF BEING BATGIRL he is going to be stupidly sentimental about her cat now. :c

[controlledvariable]

Oh noooo I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that

THEIR LAST CONVERSATION HURTS ME SO MUCH MORE RN lays down sadly

[cowled]

does it have a name yet or is he just going to uncreatively call it 'Ace'.

[controlledvariable]

Her name is Andie! Thank God because Steph would be so mad if he called her kitten 'Ace'

[jirk]

Bruce only has one pet name in his repertoire tbqh. EVERYTHING IS ACE.

[controlledvariable]

now i'm just imagining a budgie named Ace

with a tiny budgie cowl

[jirk]

Somebody get this man a budgie.

[controlledvariable]

wait no steph is gonna get a parrot and teach it to say "I AM THE NIGHT" and just leave it in the cave for bruce

cccccccc:

[demon_brat]

Good thing Dick favors the Bunker.

[controlledvariable]

aww come on, dick, it's funny

[demon_brat]

Oh, Dick finds it hilarious. The little one is more of a problem.

ANYWAY. *slinks back out of the conversation*

[controlledvariable]

OH YES SORRY THAT

MAKES MORE SENSE

it's not even that late but I am a tired thing of tired sorry :V

[demon_brat]

NOTHING AT ALL TO APOLOGIZE FOR! <3333

[wholenewstory]

You know how much I'll miss you, and Cass will miss Steph, but don't beat yourself up over this, 'kay? It happens. ♥

[controlledvariable]

We will find each other again in game land, as wel always do <3

and weh I am sorry Cass, especially with how rough things have been lately. Steph might've left her a recording or something, in lieu of a letter

[wholenewstory]

Yes we are like magnets. Of frandship. <3

Aww she would like that :c and keep it forever :c

[controlledvariable]

Friendship and awesomeness <333

[wholenewstory]

Heck yeah <3

cass will keep her in her heart

also memes

[mrsarcastic003]

SAD. Tim will miss Steph very much--there are so few people around that can call him on his bullshit, and she is very, very good at it. Plus--she has ALL the sass.

And Tim would be happy... ish... to take over the superteam thing. Though he'd feel a little bad, because he told Steph he wouldn't.

[controlledvariable]

Sorry Tim :c She appoints Cass as the official "call Tim on his bullshit" person.

It's okay to take over if she's gone! She was just worried about him being a control freak when she was trying to lead things :c

[mrsarcastic003]

Cass is good at that kind of thing too.

But he doesn't want her to be gone! :c

[controlledvariable]

And she can beat Tim up if he doesn't listen

sorry Tim :(

[mrsarcastic003]

YES SHE CAN.

Nah--it's good for him. Now has has to deal with Damian without a buffer. ;)

[controlledvariable]

That's what YJ!Dick is for, obviously

[mrsarcastic003]

YES, GOOD. [punts Damian at Dick]

[andaway]

Clark will miss her so freaking much I don't even ;___;

[controlledvariable]

She will miss Clark ;~;

but she is glad she got a chance to get to know im properly, he's a good dude

[iron_ego]

I miss you and Steph already. :<

/hugs

I hope you come back to us. Loves and hugs!

[controlledvariable]

I miss you too bb :(

And yes I do have plans to return to you all! Hopefully it happens sooner rather than later!

[iron_ego]

That would be lovely!

Regardless, you are stuck on my timeline for life. (yea)

[controlledvariable]

I better be X-(
