Kingdom Hearts: Quiet's End OOC Thread

A brief recap would be helpful, though I'm sure I would have managed in any case. You may have to be a little patient with me sometimes though, because of my lack of KH knowledge.

 

No problem!

Well, let's see, there's actually quite a bit of intertwining plot from all of the games so far, so it'll take a little while to explain it. In order to fully understand the RP, You'll have to read these spoilers. They're pretty long, but worth it. Don't feel like you have to, but it will help.

Spoiler: Birth By Sleep

The story begins in the Land of Departure, where Terra and Aqua take an exam to achieve the Mark of Mastery, allowing them to become Keyblade Masters. However, only Aqua passes while Terra fails due to the abundant darkness in his heart. Shortly after the test, Master Xehanort disappears, and a horde of mysterious creatures called the Unversed begin to appear throughout the worlds. Master Eraqus learns from Yen Sid that the Princesses of Heart are in danger from the Unversed, and orders Terra and Aqua to destroy the Unversed and find Xehanort.[25] Ventus is coaxed by Xehanort's apprentice Vanitas into following Terra against Eraqus's wishes,[26] while Eraqus orders Aqua to watch over Terra and bring Ventus back to the Land of Departure.[27][28]
Upon arriving in several worlds, Terra, Aqua, and Ventus encounter various Disney characters, fighting off Unversed along the way. One of the characters they meet is Mickey Mouse, the apprentice of Yen Sid, who is also on a mission to destroy the Unversed, albeit against Yen Sid's wishes.[29] Terra attracts the attention of several Disney villains, who offer him the whereabouts of Xehanort in exchange for assistance in their own agendas. Upon finding Xehanort, Terra is instructed by him to destroy Vanitas, who is revealed to be the source of the Unversed, created from the darkness of Ventus's heart.[30] The three friends briefly reunite at Radiant Garden where Aqua and Ventus confront Terra about his actions, but he dismisses them and leaves to continue Xehanort's mission.[31]
Ventus comes across Xehanort, who reveals his intentions to fuse Ventus's heart with the heart of his other half, Vanitas, to create an all-powerful Keyblade known as the χ-blade.[32][33] Xehanort sends Ventus to the Land of Departure to confront Eraqus, saying he knows the truth about him. Eraqus tries to kill Ventus to prevent Xehanort's plans from succeeding, but Terra, who has also been sent to the Land of Departure by Xehanort, faces Eraqus to protect Ventus.[34] Upon his defeat, Eraqus is vanquished by Xehanort, who covers the Land of Departure in darkness and tells Terra to go to a world known as the Keyblade Graveyard.[35] Ventus is similarly instructed to do the same by Vanitas, as is Aqua by Yen Sid after he informs her of Eraqus's death.[36][37]
Terra, Aqua, and Ventus gather at the Keyblade Graveyard, where Xehanort appears with Vanitas and reveals his plan to use the χ-blade to unlock Kingdom Hearts and unleash the secrets of the Keyblade War onto the various worlds. Terra's heart is swallowed by darkness in the ensuing battle, allowing Xehanort to take over his body, but Terra's mind remains within his discarded suit of armor, which comes to life and defeats Xehanort.[38] Meanwhile, Ventus is forced to fuse with Vanitas to create the χ-blade and battles Aqua alongside Mickey while he engages Vanitas in a metaphysical battle within his mind.[39][40] Aqua shatters the χ-blade as Ventus destroys Vanitas from within, though Ventus loses his heart and falls into a deep sleep as a result.[41]
Upon learning that Ventus will not awaken until his heart returns, Aqua brings his body to the ruins of Land of Departure, where she seals the world's keyhole and transforms it into Castle Oblivion to ensure Ventus will not be disturbed.[42] Aqua then goes to Radiant Garden where she fights Xehanort, who still possesses Terra's body.[43] The battle rages until Terra's presence manifests, resulting in Xehanort unlocking his own heart and falling into the Realm of Darkness. Aqua saves Terra but becomes trapped in the Realm of Darkness in the process.[44] Xehanort, who loses his memories, is discovered and taken in by Ansem the Wise, ruler of Radiant Garden, as his apprentice. Ventus's heart then reconnects to the young Sora's and is able to rest within his heart/

Spoiler: Kingdom Hearts 1

Kingdom Hearts begins on Destiny Islands, where Sora, Riku, and Kairi live. The three friends want to leave the islands to explore new worlds and have prepared a raft for this purpose.[12] One night, the islands are attacked by shadow creatures—the Heartless.[10] Sora seeks out his friends, finding Riku, who disappears into a dark portal. At the same time, Sora obtains the Keyblade, a weapon effective against the Heartless. However, the islands are destroyed and Sora drifts into space. Meanwhile, King Mickey has left his own world to deal with the increasing numbers of Heartless and left instructions for Donald and Goofy to find the "key" that will protect the worlds from the encroaching darkness.[23]
Donald and Goofy use the Gummi Ship to reach Traverse Town, where Sora has drifted. Sora meets Leon, who explains that the Heartless are beings that consume hearts, and that the Keyblade is the only weapon capable of defeating them.[27] A man named Ansem is said to have studied the Heartless. Sora then meets Donald and Goofy, and the three decide to travel together—Donald and Goofy to find King Mickey, and Sora to find Kairi and Riku. The three go to various worlds based on Disney films, finding that the Keyblade also locks "Keyholes", passages to the "heart" of a world which, when sealed, prevent it from being consumed by the Heartless. Meanwhile, a group of Disney villains, led by Maleficent, seek out the seven Princesses of Heart to unlock the final Keyhole that leads to "Kingdom Hearts",[9] a repository of knowledge and power and the source of all hearts. This group includes Riku; Maleficent promises that she will help him find Kairi in exchange for his support. Maleficent sows distrust in Riku, telling him that Sora abandoned him and Kairi for new friends and the Keyblade.[28] An increasingly antagonistic Riku finds Kairi's body, but cannot find her heart.
Sora and his friends eventually arrive at Hollow Bastion, Ansem's home world and Maleficent's current headquarters. Riku takes the Keyblade from Sora, claiming to be the true Keyblade master and that Sora only received it in his absence.[29] Donald and Goofy, having been explicitly ordered to follow the "key", reluctantly leave Sora for Riku.[30] Sora challenges Riku, stating that his heart derives strength from his friends; his friends return to him, as does the Keyblade. Shamed, Riku meets a cloaked man who goads him to give into the darkness. Meanwhile, the three engage and defeat Maleficent. Sora finds Kairi's body and confronts Riku, who reveals that he is possessed by Ansem.[31] Ansem explains that Kairi is a Princess of Heart, and that her heart has been hiding within Sora's body since Destiny Islands was destroyed.[32][33] After defeating Ansem, Sora impales himself with Ansem's Keyblade, releasing both his and Kairi's heart. Kairi's heart returns to her body, in turn completing the final Keyhole, while Sora becomes a Heartless. Kairi recognizes Sora's Heartless and the light in her heart restores him to human form. He resolves to confront Ansem.
Ansem is found in the End of the World, the combined remnants of worlds taken by the Heartless.[18] Ansem seeks Kingdom Hearts, hypothesizing it to be the ultimate darkness. Upon opening the door to Kingdom Hearts, however, it reveals its light, overwhelming and destroying Ansem. Beyond the door are King Mickey and Riku, and they help Sora and the others close the door, as there are many Heartless beyond it. Mickey and Sora use their Keyblades to lock the door. The worlds lost to the Heartless reconstruct themselves; as the Destiny Islands reform, Kairi returns there while Sora is forced to part with her. The game concludes as Sora, Donald, and Goofy resolve to find Riku and Mickey.

Spoiler: Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories/ReverseRebirth

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories takes place directly after the ending of the first game, Kingdom Hearts.[21][22] Sora and his friends Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy Cricket are walking down a winding path when a mysterious man dressed in a black, hooded coat appears and directs Sora towards a massive fortress called Castle Oblivion. When the travelers enter, they re-encounter the mysterious figure,[13] who explains that they have forgotten all of their abilities upon entering the castle.[17] He proceeds to create a deck of cards made from Sora's and his friends' memories, and tells them that everything they encounter in this castle will be based on their memories.[9] The higher they go, the more memories they will lose in the process.[23] Sora is unaware that he is being watched by a mysterious group called the Organization. Marluxia, the lord of Castle Oblivion and the figure who lured Sora there, plans to control Sora with the memory-altering powers of a girl named Naminé and use her to overthrow the rest of the Organization. The Organization members Zexion and Lexaeus catch wind of this plot and observe it while the member of their circle, Vexen, decides to sabotage Marluxia's plan using a replica of Riku, agreeing to have the replica's memory reworked with Naminé's powers.[24]
As Sora ascends the castle, he battles Larxene, a co-conspirator in Marluxia's plot. Afterwards, he appears to remember Naminé as an old friend of his.[25] He learns that she is being held in the castle, and continues to ascend, clashing with the Riku Replica who believes himself to be the real Riku. After defeating Vexen and Larxene, Sora learns about his shifting memories and Marluxia's plans from Naminé; Axel, another Organization member who serves as a double agent, had allowed Naminé to meet Sora to foil Marluxia's plans.[26] Sora forms an alliance with the Riku Replica—who discovers that his memory was also altered by Naminé—and they fight to the top of the castle and defeat Marluxia. Naminé then puts Sora and his friends into pod-like machines to help them regain the memories they lost in the castle, even though they would forget the events that transpired in the castle.[27] Before they are put to sleep, Sora and Naminé promise to meet again as real friends once he wakes up, Sora firmly believing that his memories of her and the castle will remain in his heart despite being forgotten.[28]
In Reverse/Rebirth, Riku has been transported from the realm of darkness[29] and fights his inner darkness as he battles upward from the basement levels of Castle Oblivion. Vexen fights Riku to obtain his data and creates the replica of him. Ansem, who had previously taken over Riku's body, attempts to regain control of Riku, but is continually thwarted by King Mickey's support.[30] On the way, Riku battles and defeats Lexaeus, only to be dragged into the realm of darkness. However, he is saved by King Mickey when Ansem nearly succeeds in taking Riku's body as his own. With Marluxia eliminated at this time, Zexion sees no use for Riku and attempts to dispose of him by disguising himself as Sora and drowning Riku in light. However, he is saved by Naminé disguised as Kairi. Naminé helps him to control his darkness, allowing him to defeat Zexion. Riku later meets DiZ, an enigmatic individual interested in Riku who sends him to find Naminé.[31] The Riku Replica, who now seeks to justify his existence, fights Riku only to be destroyed by him. Riku learns from Naminé that what remains of Ansem lives in his heart. Riku chooses to face him and DiZ pulls Ansem from Riku's heart to battle. After defeating Ansem, Riku vows to utilize both his darkness and his light to protect what's important to him, and sets out with King Mickey as his companion.

Spoiler: 358/2 Days

The newly born Roxas is first discovered in Twilight Town by Xemnas, the leader of Organization XIII, and is recruited as its thirteenth member. Unlike other Nobodies, Roxas lacks memories of his original self, Sora, but develops a personality of his own as time passes.[20] Each day, Roxas is sent on missions to other worlds, either alone or accompanied by a fellow member, to destroy vast quantities of Heartless with his Keyblade and release stolen hearts, learning that his actions will further the Organization's ultimate goal—Kingdom Hearts—allowing them to become complete beings. Over his first few days in the Organization, Roxas is placed under the mentorship of fellow member Axel. The two become close friends and meet up with each other at the Twilight Town clock tower each day after missions to eat sea-salt ice cream together and talk about what's on their minds.
One day, Axel is stationed at Castle Oblivion along with a group of other members (thus setting the stage for Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories), leaving Roxas to be partnered with a girl named Xion, the Organization's fourteenth member who was inducted shortly after Roxas[21] and, like Roxas, has the power to wield the Keyblade but lacks memories of her past. Xion begins to open up to Roxas, who suggests that she becomes friends with him and Axel once he returns. However, Roxas soon falls into a coma and does not revive until several weeks later, when he learns that all Organization members at Castle Oblivion, save Axel, have been eliminated. As Sora sleeps to regain his lost memories after the events of Chain of Memories, overseen by Riku, Naminé, and DiZ, Roxas begins to experience the process for himself, growing increasingly curious about why he can wield the Keyblade. At the same time, Xion loses her ability to use the Keyblade, leading to her temporary disappearance. Upon Axel's return, he and Roxas cover for Xion until she remembers how to summon the Keyblade, and the three become close friends.
Later, Xion is thrown into disarray over the nature of her existence after battling and losing to Riku,[22][23] and distances herself from her friends to learn more about herself. She eventually discovers that she is not a Nobody, but a Replica created by Xemnas from the scattered memories of Sora as a fail-safe for Roxas. Furthermore, Naminé's attempts to restore Sora's memories affect not only Roxas, but Xion as well, preventing Sora from regaining his memories.[24] Torn between staying with her friends and merging with Sora as per Riku's advice,[25] Xion eventually decides to make the decision best for everyone and attempts to escape from the Organization,[26] particularly when her powers begin to increase dramatically while Roxas inversely grows weaker. However, she is forced to fight off her friends, who are ordered to track her down whenever she escapes. Understanding his friends' situation, Axel eventually allows Xion to escape, but loses Roxas's trust. Upon learning the truth about Xion from Xemnas, Roxas begins to doubt the Organization's motives and his own identity. Frustrated with his unanswered questions, Roxas leaves the Organization, leaving Axel dejected.[27]
At Twilight Town, Roxas is attacked by Xion, who has been altered by Xemnas using devices Roxas had placed in other worlds, forcing her to act on her purpose of absorbing Roxas and becoming Sora.[28] However, Xion is defeated and requests Roxas to release Kingdom Hearts and stop Xemnas's plan before dissipating and merging with Sora, causing everyone's memories of her to gradually vanish. Roxas returns to the Organization's world, hoping to revive Xion and renew his friendship with Axel, but is stopped by Riku, who has been dispatched by DiZ to capture him.[29] When Roxas defeats him, Riku releases the suppressed darkness in his heart, granting him the power necessary to subdue Roxas, but also giving him the physical form of Xehanort's Heartless, "Ansem", who resides in his heart.[30] Riku subsequently brings Roxas to DiZ, who inserts Roxas into a virtual simulation of Twilight Town without any of his memories of the Organization so that Roxas may eventually merge with Sora and complete the restoration of his memories.

Spoiler: Kingdom Hearts 2

Kingdom Hearts II begins one year after the events of Kingdom Hearts. Sora, Donald, and Goofy have been asleep in suspended animation for the past year to regain their lost memories. Meanwhile, Roxas, the Nobody of Sora, is trapped in a virtual simulation of Twilight Town created by DiZ so that he may merge with his original self to restore Sora's power, done as part of DiZ's revenge on Organization XIII. DiZ's plans are threatened when Organization XIII's Nobodies, led by Axel, Roxas' former friend in the Organization, infiltrate the virtual town, but Roxas finally merges with Sora. Sora, Donald, and Goofy wake up in the real Twilight Town and meet King Mickey and Yen Sid, who send them on another journey. Their goal is to find Riku and stop the plans of Organization XIII, who control the Nobodies—the body left over when a person with a strong heart is turned into a Heartless. Afterward, Maleficent is resurrected and joins with Pete to continue her quest for power.
Sora travels to many Disney-themed worlds, old and new, and resolves the troubles caused by Organization XIII, the Heartless, Maleficent, Pete and local villains. During a visit to Hollow Bastion, they again meet King Mickey, who reveals the true nature of Ansem, the antagonist of Kingdom Hearts. The Ansem whom Sora defeated was actually the Heartless of Xehanort, a student of Ansem the Wise, and that the leader of the Organization is Xehanort's Nobody, Xemnas. Organization XIII's plan is revealed: they seek the power of "Kingdom Hearts", the sum of all the hearts that Sora released by destroying the Heartless with his Keyblade. Sora then revisits the worlds to solve lingering problems and new complications, while seeking a path to Organization XIII's base of operations. Throughout his endeavors, Sora is secretly aided by a mysterious hooded figure whom Sora believes to be Riku.
Following a lead, Sora, Donald, and Goofy enter a passageway through Twilight Town and encounter Axel, who sacrifices himself to create a passageway to "The World That Never Was", the headquarters of Organization XIII, with Kingdom Hearts looming overhead as a heart-shaped moon. Sora finds Kairi and Riku, whose appearance has been changed by the darkness to that of Xehanort's Heartless; he also reveals to Sora the nature of his connection to Roxas. King Mickey meets DiZ, who reveals himself to be Ansem the Wise. Ansem uses a device that dissipates some of Kingdom Hearts' power, but a system overload causes the device to self-destruct, both engulfing Ansem and miraculously returning Riku to his original form. At the top of the Castle that Never Was, Sora and his friends battle Xemnas, who uses the remaining power of Kingdom Hearts to power his multiple forms. After Sora and Riku destroy Xemnas, the two are reunited with their friends at their home, Destiny Islands. The game concludes as Sora, Kairi, and Riku read a letter from Mickey, its contents hidden from the player.

Spoiler: Coded

The game begins in the aftermath of Kingdom Hearts II with Jiminy Cricket organizing his journals—one of which contains the "Thank Naminé" line he had written at the end of Chain of Memories—when he discovers a second line he doesn't remember writing: "We must return to free them from their torment" (rewritten as "Their hurting will be mended when you return to end it" in Re:coded). King Mickey has the contents of the journal digitized to investigate this second message, only to find the datascape has been corrupted with bugs, which take the form of red and black blocks. Mickey thus guides a virtual Sora named "Data-Sora" through multiple worlds in the datascape to debug the journal, which includes destroying the digitized Heartless that appear.[24][23][5][27]
While this happens, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy are imported into the datascape by an avatar of the journal's uncorrupted data, which takes the form of a virtual Riku, to better assist Data-Sora in debugging the journal. However, they discover that Pete and Maleficent have also entered the datascape to use it in their latest attempt at world domination. Maleficent destroys Data-Sora's Keyblade and kidnaps Data-Riku,[10] but Data-Sora continues through the datascape with the help of Donald and Goofy until he regains the ability to conjure the Keyblade. Pete pits him against a bug-infected Data-Riku, who Data-Sora defeats and debugs, only to discover that having done so will reset everything in the datascape, including Data-Sora's memories, to their original state prior to the journal's corruption. The debugging process also activates the bug responsible for the data's corruption, which takes the form of Sora's Heartless. Data-Sora destroys the bug before losing his memories while Mickey and the others—including Maleficent and Pete—are returned to their world by Data-Riku.[12]
With the journal completely debugged, Data-Riku uncovers extra data modeled after Castle Oblivion, which contains the secret to the journal's second message. Mickey guides the reset Data-Sora to the extra world where he is tested by a virtual Roxas to endure the pain of having forgotten his friends as a result of being reset. Data-Sora defeats Data-Roxas and is allowed access to the deepest portion of Castle Oblivion. There he and Mickey encounter a virtual Naminé, who reveals Sora's nature as "the key that connects everything" through his deep connections with Roxas, Axel, Xion, and the real Naminé. Data-Naminé also reveals that it was her actual self who have been the one who left the message after discovering a set of memories belonging to three other people tied to Sora's heart—Terra, Aqua, and Ventus—while restoring his memories; the bugs are also revealed to have been an unintentional side effect of her message. Before disappearing, Data-Naminé explains that it is the real Sora's duty to save the three sufferers, which Mickey then relays to Sora through the bottled letter shown at the end of Kingdom Hearts II.
In a secret ending exclusive to Re:coded, Mickey and Yen Sid discuss the confirmed locations of Aqua and Ventus, though Terra's whereabouts are still unknown to them. During their conversation, Yen Sid reveals that the destruction of Xehanort's Heartless and Nobody will ensure the return of Master Xehanort. To prepare for this new threat, Yen Sid orders Mickey to summon Sora and Riku, intending to examine them for the Mark of Mastery.

Spoiler: Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance (3D)

Taking place after the events of Kingdom Hearts: Coded, and the present-day epilogue of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Sora and Riku are summoned by Mickey to go through Yen Sid's Mark of Mastery Exam in order for them to become full-fledged Keyblade Masters and counter the coming return of Master Xehanort. As part of this trial, the two are sent to worlds that were saved from the Heartless's attack yet went into a state of sleep that disconnected them from the other worlds. Though this meant the Heartless can not reach them, the worlds are instead plagued by the Dream Eaters which are compelled to find the worlds' keyholes. Their given task is to awaken these worlds from sleep, and if they succeed, they will be deemed Keyblade Masters.

And then, Kingdom Hearts 3 hasn't been made yet, but for RP plot purposes, I've pretty much said "Sora's team won."

And then for the plotline of this RP, here's how it goes.

It's been 10 years since the events of the main series, and peace has reigned everywhere since then. Riku spent the last ten years studying with Master Yen Sid, and Sora and Kairi settled down and began a family. They had a set of twins, Hitomu and Mitsuko. Meanwhile, a woman named Kira formed a new organization of darkness, calling it "Shadow's Order". It's a small organization, only with three members. One of these members was a mysterious man in an old Org. XIII cloak named "R".

The Order is, of course, bent on total consumption of the worlds by darkness, but they realize that as long as Sora fights for the light, they will never be able to conquer. So they set out to break Sora's heart. They destroyed his island home and kidnapped his kids, and are currently trying to convine Hitomu to embrace the darkness in order to save his sister, whom he believes to be missing. In reality, she is being held by the Order in a dungeon in the basement of the Castle.

Sora, Kairi, and Riku were all seperated at the destruction of the islands, and Riku set out to find Sora and Kairi, who can't use dark portals and so were stuck in the worlds they landed in. R told Kira of the existence of the χ-blade, and they set out to find and capture the seven princesses of Heart. R went to the Beast's Castle to get Belle, and discovered that Kairi was there too. She fought to defend the castle, but couldn't defeat R until Riku showed up with Sarai, a girl he had run into in Agrabah who could use the Keyblade. R then revealed himself to be the replica Riku, who had somehow been brought back to life, somewhat like a Nobody. The real Riku opened a Dark Portal, allowing Kairi and Sarai to escape, but couldn't defeat R, who was then joined by Kira. Kira and R defeated Riku, just in time for Sora to see his friend die at their hands. He had been found by Donald and Goofy in Underland and piloted the gummi ship to Beast's Castle.

With Riku dead, Sora went frantic trying to find Kairi and the kids. Kairi, with Sarai and another Keyblade wielder named Shane, discovered an existing portal between Twilight Town and The World that Never Was, the Order's headquarters. Kairi and Shane went through the portal and are now walking to the entrance of the Castle, watched by Kira, who is currently in her "possessed" state. Sora, Donald, and Goofy are in Twilight Town, looking for Kairi, and they just met Sarai, who's going to tell them what's going on.

And that's it so far. XD I tried to keep it brief, but there's just too much plot.

 

Ah, thank you both of you.
As for the wiki stuff, tl;dr. Will read up at some other point, but my character doesn't need to know at the minute, so I'm gonna pass that one by.
Truth be told; I've no idea what I could do to introduce my character right now.

 

Well, I'm actually planning on ending the RP within the very near future, and then opening a new Sequal RP to continue the story called "Order Rebirthed". So if you want to wait awhile, you could come in at the beginning of the next RP, but if you'd like to come in now, a few good places would be Twilight Town near the mansion, Agrabah near the palace, or maybe even Sleeping Beauty's castle before R leaves with Aurora.

 

End it? You're only 27 pages in. You might as well just continue it on in the thread that's already there really.

 

Well actually, after the X-blade part, we still need to

Spoiler: plot of the Rp

Banish Sora to the realm of Darkness where he finds Aqua (Who i assume will be a major protagonist for order rebirthed) and have them escape. Then save Ven, THEN go Leroy Jenkins on the order

so we still got a while (Assuming you don't decide to cut that out)

 

Decided to edit Shane's Bio since it will explain what I'm planning on happening to him.

 

Yup! We have to do all that before the RP can end anyway.

And MoK? It looks good. lol, I can't wait for this new info to crop up.

 

Don't look at me, I'm in Agrabah where I was told things would happen soon. ;_;

 

I forgot whose turn to post it was

 

All I know is that I was the last one to post.

EDIT: After checking the last three posts, it seems that it's Rienzel's turn to post.

 

Sorry, I thought that R was supposed to go there next, but I guess he decided to go to the World that Never Was instead. Ooh! Idea! I'll send Mickey Mouse to Agrabah! Editing my post now...

 

Thank you so much, Marushi! I finally have something to post now, yay~!

 

Lol, no problem. I'm just glad this RP isn't dead yet. So far, most of my RP's haven't gotten far at all. This one is by far the longest one I've had. XD

 

I'm waiting for the other three to post again before I do, so I can post a lot at once, but if they don't post soon, I'll just continue on with our part of the story.

 

I'm due to post too, right? Will do so tomorrow. Appologies, I've been caught up in some RL things, along with my computer being very slow as of late.

 

That's fine. We all get a little busy every now and again. :)
