This is so unbelievably hard to do, you have no idea.

I've come to the realization as of recently that, due to having a far greater interest in my own original characters and picking up Ragnarok Online again, I seriously have no inspiration anymore. I've tried racking my brain for ideas this month, even going over loss ideas and hoping the plots would help, but none were successful. So... rather than calling yet another burnout hiatus, I think it's finally time that I just suck it up and get this over with.

Jin Kisaragi and Gino Weinberg are both going home to their respective worlds.

Meaning that after two and a half years, I'm pulling out of the game. Again, this is extremely hard to do, because I'm very attached to this game and its players. You guys are such a freaking blast to play with, and it's just not fair for me to constantly drop threads and sit on these two characters, not giving any of you the attention you all deserve. Gino was a month off of lasting two years, making him my longest muse (even outdoing Lucian, which amazed even me) and my attachment to both him and Jin just make this harder.

But seeing that I can't pull myself away from things long enough to do canon reviews for either of them while I know the muses were dying out... well, again, it's just time to pack up and head out.

Thank you all so much for making this game a freaking blast to play in this round. My first stay in Paradisa back in 2007, I can't say I was very fond, but I'm very glad I rejoined again in December '08. Leaving you guys behind is gonna be tough, but you guys deserve better than what I can give right now. I may be back one day, I just don't know when. Whenever I can give more attention to canon characters again, and not have my life being sucked away by my OCs and an MMO. And my OC attention isn't going to be dying anytime soon.

Both had pets that'll need attention again. For Gino, Arthur and Friender will be leaving with him, but his Vaporeon Bedivere, his puppy Ratchet and his griffon Medafil will still be in the castle if anyone wishes to adopt them. Jin had his Mightyena, which is also up for grabs.

If anyone wishes to keep in contact (which I would love!), they can find me at the following: My main journal

lanacavelle , my MSN at AlenaSyrene@hotmail.com, my deviantART or my MangaBullet. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll be on AIM anymore since I only ever got on that for Paradisa uses, but if I ever show up (which I might once every blue moon), I'll be at PyroMeiniac.

Ho boy, this is a little longer than I expected... for that, I apologize, but again: Thank you all so much for such a fantastic round of Paradisa. I may watch from the sidelines every now and then, but for now, it's best that I stay in the crowd rather than just be a mediocre player.

Thanks again, Paradisa. You are an absolutely amazing lot, and I hope when I can bring myself to commit to it again, that I'll be back again someday.

So long, and thanks for all the fish, as they say. ♥

awwww, Mei. I'm sorry to see you go. I always enjoyed our CR.

Take care, bb. <3

I certainly enjoyed our CR as well. I really should have poked Jilly more. Good going, Mei. :B

Thank you. ♥

I'm sorry that you're leaving! Good luck in everything~

I'm sorry I couldn't dedicate more time to you awesome lot. ;_; Thank you ♥

We haven't had much CR since I've been back, but I always enjoyed playing with you back in the day! I'm sad to see you go, but we do what we gotta. I already have you friended. I just need to ... use my livejournal more. Or, like, at all. :3

I really want to kick myself for not getting CR with you when you came back, but I shall never forget all of what we had before. And EVERYONE I have friended needs to use their LJ more. ;w; /wibbble

We never did get that civil CR, did we? Either way, I'll echo what I said before and say that I've enjoyed all our threads together (despite the fact 80% of them are bitching, arguing, fighting, or all of the above).

Jin's gift to Carl is memories of him making out with his sister. The most glorious gift.

Good luck and take care. ♥

Easily the most glorious gift of them all. ♥ ENJOY THE MEMORIES, FONDLY, CARL. In my headspace, Jin shall enjoy them as well. (In his own sort of way.)

Civil CR or no, the bitching, arguing, fighting and all of the above threads were always amazing. Thank you. ♥

If you ever get a Plurk or Twitter or Tumblr, I'm Gallantry on Plurk and @Joketsu on Twitter and devildyke on Tumblr. Those are actually the easiest ways to contact me.

I wish you well wherever you go and encourage your own writing greatly. If I ever decide to use it more often, my personal LJ is

sapphicchivalry

I don't know if I will or not, but if I do, I shall keep those in mind. I'll friend your LJ just on the off-chance if you use it again or not.

Thank you ♥
