Your brand of chaos insanity has been sorely missed by me.
I love how Tara actually sounds rational from a certain point of view, while simultaneously being seen as certifiably batguano insane from another angle.
Please continue writing this saga, Tara. I hope to get to interact with you in live play in the near future.
I am so glad some of you are finding it entertaining to read. I will stay. I didn't leave because anyone did anything wrong, I just lost Tara's voice for a bit. Ten years a bit but a bit nevertheless.
Playing her for 21 years, that's a long time. I needed a break.
I have more time now.
I can hear her again in my head.
I'm really touched by what you wrote. Thank you again.

Thank you, Jaycy. I would be remiss if I didn't pay Dawn the respect she is owed. She's a part of her life, too, even if they were on adversarial footing. We aren't! <3
Thank you, Kal! I've missed you as well, old friend. I have to review the threads I did with Gren's player to see the names of the tournaments Tara said Kal did. I couldn't remember their names so I made one up and mentioned it briefly. I'm sorry. I'll do better next time
I'm doing the same as the others asking for you to stay. I've always enjoyed your writing, watching Tara develop in all sorts of Tara-esque ways. I definitely understand losing your character's voice. I've been trapped in the black hole of zero creativity for a couple of years too.
I've missed your RP, your writing and especially IRL you!!!
With deep affection,

And then one day,
One magic day he passed my way.
And while we spoke of many things,
Fools and kings,
This he said to me,
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
Why don't YOU come back and have some of our old friends tag along? As my friend, as a favor to me, please pass along my comments here. I don't ask for much *wink*
This place could use some spirit, like the old days, when we were young and full of ideas. We can pass the torch now, watch what the younger players do with what we helped build over the last three decades.
This place was all of our hopes, fantasies and dreams, all rolled into one.
We played the HELL out of our storylines and we forged friendships that have lasted for years and many which were taken offline.
You, me, all of us.
I came back because Tara reminded me that in some of my darkest moments, when I was at my lowest, when I was feeling like the world rejected me, I could come here and be whatever I wanted, if only for a night.
I could write out the words which sung in my heart.
Share them with you.
WEAVE them, with all of you.
And, in return, you all did the same with me.
This place now is not what it used to be. I do not know what caused it, I don't CARE, and I don't want to know. So no one tell me.
I understand I am asking this, as a hypocrite, because I left for a decade, but I came back.
So can many of you.
Tara belongs to all of you the same as she does me because ALL OF YOU helped me create her with YOUR STORIES.
Let us not abandon them just yet.
I love you, forever and always, T. I think you know that by now. You have always been a very dear friend to me and I thank you, a thousand times, for being there for me in many of those dark moments and making them, just a little brighter.
I love you oodles, my friend. I want to come back even though my muse has been silenced. Connar's disappearance after a deployment hasn't helped. The passing of some of our fondest, most respected players broke my heart too. I'm game to dip my toes back in, so please ping me in some form if you're playing. There are still some very talented players holding that torch we set ablaze.
Or maybe we can write something together if that works better.
Love you to both Rhydin moons and back my friend. <3
