House of Cards OOC

It is physically painful for me to do this, but I think it's come to be that time. My interest in HoC has faded away, and I don't think it's productive for me to remain. I came in over a year and a half ago, and things were different then. But, naturally, as things evolve, some people will thrive on the change, and others will fall away. We've had several leave, and several more join. Now it's my turn to go.

Pierre moved to Spades (that was never actually written because the people I needed to make it happen were, by no fault of their own, unavailable; it was, however, approved by the mods, so I'm going with it). He's buddied with Ethan, and is there to do pretty much whatever is required of him. Yay for being a Seven again.

Amy will continue to work her way up the ranks, and do everything she can to make her brother, her Papa, and her boyfriend proud. She's eight months and three days sober today. :) For family and Suit.

Silas, at 43 years old, is retiring from King and going to focus on being a grandfather and getting better. His Queen, Ace, and Jack have his full support, and he's available to the other Kings (and has every intention of maintaining his dates with the other Suits' Face Cards, FYI) as usual. It's just from the rank of Ten rather than King, now. Life will improve. He'll teach history or English, maybe both. It'll be good.

As for me, well. Those of you who have my number are still welcome to call, text, whatever. My AIM is always on, even when I'm mobile, and of course I'm available in chat, email, whatever. If you ever want to play with my million and twelve muses, poke at me and I'll happily help out. I just don't feel like I should be here squatting a Face Card position when I can't maintain it; after all, I'm typically at the front of the line to bitch about inactivity (or, at least, I used to be).

So long and thanks for all the fish, guys. It's been a fun year and eight months. :)

Love,
Kels
