Now for the nuts and bolts part.<br/><br/>If the other players (including Kunoichi) don't mind, what I'd recommend is that the "partner" player takes over the character at least until the task is complete. Or alternatively, I can play them for the time being. Once we've cleared the current hurdle, we can either retire the characters out of the narrative more gracefully (probably transferring them to another class so that they're still available should things get better for her and she can rejoin) and either pair up Eden and Yumi, write up new characters to work with them, or start the search for a new player or two.
