<div align="center">(https://fantasticmemes.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/1371091897150.png?w=512&amp;h=286)</div><br/>So, I guess I have a bit of an 'announcement,' if you will.<br/><br/>First, let me just start by saying: I've been really, really enjoying this game and am looking so forward to continuing.<br/><br/>However, at this time, two of the characters involved in this group game are, unfortunately, going to be dropping out: mine and Aiden's.<br/><br/>BUT! Don't worry. We are making two new characters. So, the old will be swapped out and the new will be swapped in.<br/><br/>That's the short version.<br/><br/>I hope that no one is too upset by the loss and I hope everyone understands. Thankfully since neither of our characters were too established, there's not much we have to worry about explaining away IC. Except obviously Yuuji being the top ranked among the class. But, I don't foresee it being too difficult to work around.<br/><br/>Naturally, I discussed all of this with Reaper first and am thrilled that she so graciously agreed to these changes. After gaining her approval, I went ahead and made a new character bio, which is currently pending approval. Aiden is working on his new character, as well.<br/><br/>Reaper requested that we inform everyone in the group about these changes so that there would be no added confusion.<br/><br/>So, the summary of all of this is: Hanako will be retired from the group game. Yuuji will be retired from the group game.<br/><br/>AidenWhite and myself will be making two new characters, pending approval.<br/><br/>Thanks for reading!<br/><br/>Mel
