{{My apologies for the silence}}<br/><br/>{{Half of the explanation is selfish: I have been busy, and Orev has been low on my list of priorities. I have been using spare time to prepare material for Jejuna, but I've been sort of grateful for this lacuna because my spare time has been scarce lately.}}<br/><br/>{{The other half of the explanation is that I do not have much to say at this particular juncture either. The scenery has already been described and nothing novel is going to happen until you get closer to the city.}}<br/><br/>{{The movement of the party is controlled by the players, not the DM. In my experience with tabletop games, it usually begins with one of the players saying like "I start walking (in such and such a direction)," and the others then follow suit--to which the DM reacts by switching to an overland time-scale and describing the progress by the hour. I suggest you try this.}}<br/><br/>{{In other words, there is no reason to be waiting for me. If you want the story to progress, just post what happens next! :3 I am eager to continue.}}<br/><br/>{{As for waiting for each other...it is inevitable in a play-by-post game that some players will not be able to post often, and some will even disappear without warning. It is good to be patient--but only up to a point. If someone takes more than a week, it is not impolite to just move on without them even if it means minor continuity breaks. The alternative, as we have seen, is that no one posts because everyone is waiting for everyone else.}}
