I'm so sorry everyone, I just kind of fell off the face of E for a while. I was really bad off for a while, and just working was about all I could do. I would come home and not have energy for anything. So, I'm moving things a long a little bit, and I hope that I haven't lost you all.<br/><br/>Please note, that by no means are you required to actually fall for him compulsion, but you should at least feel it in some way shape or form. He is that old, and that powerful. I promise he's not going to be any more adversary than any petulant spoiled brat would be. I'm not going to expect you to battle him. That would be insane. Theoretically, depending on character reactions, things should stay verbal for the most part. I am going to ask that for this bit no one posts again until everyone has had a chance to post, and assume that you're all feeling whatever/acting at the exact same time, so keep it a little short through here. No reactions about what's going on with the other characters until the next set of post okay? Just go with me on this one okay, I think it'll work out best that way. *nods*
