Absence List

[Charming]

If you're going to be absent for a few days, post here! We ask that you try to give us a return date as well as a list of characters that you play. Absences over a month long may not be exempt from inactivity removal.

If you do not post with your characters for 2 months in a row, they will be inactivated even if there is an absence posted. Notices with no return date or a date more than a month in the future will be removed after one month.

Please use the form below so that no important information is excluded. Remember that you can post partial (posting notably slow or a break from one specific character) or full absences here!

Code:

[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Status:[/b] Scarce or Absent
[b]Characters Affected:[/b]
[b]Date Leaving:[/b]
[b]Date Returning:[/b]
[b]About the Absence:[/b] Optional.

What’s the difference between scarce and absent?

• An absent player, for whatever reason, can’t get on much—if at all—to post or chat. They might be travelling, spawning, hosting company, or particularly buried by work/school. They might need an LOA for personal or health reasons. If you’re absent, we might see you in the box occasionally, and you probably won’t be posting much. Absences can exempt a player from one Activity Check, but absent players may not create new characters as long as the notice is posted.
  
  A scarce player is still likely to be around, but not as frequently or as long as usual. Posts will be slower but not altogether gone. They might be wrapping up school things but (like Kayte) still around off and on, they might be under the weather but still well enough to internet, or they might just be adjusting to a change in work hours. If you’re scarce, we’ll see you less, but it won’t be so much that we’ll cry ourselves to sleep missing you. Scarce players may still make new characters, but making more than one will nullify your AC absence.

Characters Affected: Aurelia Wallingford, Amelia Evans & Benedict Sterling
Date Leaving: 12/21

About the Absence: I don't think I'll be absent that long but it's just a precaution. Without going into too much detail, there was an emergency with my boyfriend's family and I'm almost certain I'm going to be traveling to his home state to be with him for moral support. Sorry guys <3 Not that I have a lot going on right now plot wise, but I'm sorry to keep dropping the ball. As always I can be reached on Skype and certain others know more immediate ways to get ahold of me.

About the Absence:

My family's being evicted from our home and we don't have anywhere to go at the moment. My mom hasn't gotten home from work to discuss things, but it's put me in a very sour mood and I've been crying every half an hour.

On top of that, we're also going to have to put our dog down because of an awful skin condition (he's also an old man), and I've had him since elementary school so I'm not a happy camper about that, either.

We're obviously going to have to move, but I'm not sure if it will be into a house or hotel. I'll have mobile data to communicate what's happening (and in my house, internet is a must-have so I doubt we'll go without it wherever I end up), but I'm not sure when or how we'll be moving.

I'm not yet sure how this will all relate to Charming activity. I have a tendency to drown out reality by immersing myself in writing, but at the same time I might end up so distraught that I stare at a wall for the next week and a half. I'm hoping that the Charming move will give me something to distract myself with since I'm helpless with this situation but WE'LL SEE.

I'm always available through skype or discord if I'm not here.
