((OOC:  Okay!  Finally!  After what could be called an unplanned summer hiatus - and an unexpected net-absence on my end - we're back in business!  I haven't been idle these past weeks, there's a whole story left to tell here.  For example, watch my blog for a continuation of Halvorson's backstory, due up soon.  Sorry everyone for the wait - let's get the party goin' again!<br/><br/>Dunno if any of you noticed in my last blog entry, but the characters are all probably very fatigued by now - they've been in a combat situation for several long, long hours.  If the war began after full nightfall, and at the moment it's around noon, that's over twelve hours of solid combat, give or take.  Not sure what everyone's take on this would be, but when the plotlines are consolidated - meaning when the Kazmer group gets back to safety, and when the House Blotar group gets on the road to Clent Station proper, I'm going to do a bit of a "time lapse" in which the characters get pulled off the front for rest.  This will give you guys a chance to do some nifty characterization, either by way of a dream sequence, or a discussion with a fellow character, etc.  More importantly, it gives me a chance to throw everything totally out of whack, and set in motion that "Grand Design" I came up with a while back.<br/><br/>But I'm interested in your opinions on the idea, so feel free to PM me if you've got one.  Also, if there are any BURNING questions you've got about the world of 'the Voar,' send those too.  I'm itching to do another 'Companion' post, and I need subject matter.<br/><br/>On we go!  Next post will be my IC post.))
