Bowing Out

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

I really hate to do this, because some of you have been so fun to play with, but it has become increasingly obvious that my characters don't quite fit into this game, or at least how I am playing them doesn't work. I've tried organizing things, interjecting them into situations, etc. but it doesn't seem to be jiving. It is probably my utter lack of knowledge or interest in science-fiction, and there really isn't a lot for my characters to do in this game besides play one note reactions of "Woah, what the hell is that?" and hide in a corner. I also can't keep up with 125+ post days with a single event, even being online all the time, and two of the major events for my characters (Homecoming and Elections) it looks like will be falling on the short period I will offline (stupid job) so I'm hoping maybe someone could pick up these characters who might be better at intergrating them into the community and can have them actually participate in the things I've set them up for.

I will gladly give you an overly-verbose, mind-numbingly detailed rundown of the characters and what I've done with them so far...

lisacuddy
- works in the Clinic, runs the Science Club, is running for Student Council, lives in the dorms, takes 4 classes that I can update you on.

iwasawesome (Lilly Kane)
- lives off campus, has a massive crush on Rover (but really, who doesn't), takes 4 classes if those Sex Ed classes ever start up, and is running Homecoming

drgrissom
- teaches 3 Sociology classes, lives in the dorms next to Sara Sidle and Gandalf, performs various disgusting experiments, helps out the FTPD and in the coroner's office as necessary with his mad skillz, IS A PAID ACCOUNT which is fun.

mrsvandekamp
- Teaches Home Ec 101, lives off campus with a few other teachers, and... I haven't done much with her to be honest. Slacking on my pimping, as it were.

No one's fault but my own, I just can't figure how to navigate this so my characters can actually participate, and it is getting draining and losing its charm putting in a lot of organizational effort in and not being able to do the fun part.

Thanks everyone! I understand this is a shot-in-the-dark, but they are great characters and I'd love to see at least one of them survive. IF you'd rather pick up one of their activities with an established character, that might work. I can pass along all my prep stuff.

Hm. The irony: I'd trade in my Max for Lilly. I was writing Max out, anyway (for many of the same reasons you are bowing out), but I'd be willing to give Lilly a try.

I don't know if I can write her as well as you can, but I'd be willing to give it a go.
