I really miss
Roa_Aoife -- she and I joined the Downs at almost the same moment and we immediately began RPing together at the Green Dragon. It got off to a rocky start after a misunderstanding which led to some bunnying of her character (by another member, now also departed, not by me
), but we worked that out and did some wonderful writing together.
The good news is, her absence from the Downs should be temporary only, as she's said that she intends to be back in September. Still, people do tend to drift away.
