So everyone, please calm down. That player is fine, I'm fine (a bit sad, but I'll survive): WE'RE fine. Your concern is unnecessary.
If you now despise me, it is what it is. You probably never really liked me anyway, and that's a part of life. As stated below, there was only one person whose opinion mattered to me, and that person was able to provide a solution that works for both of us.
Feel free to go about your perfect characters' lives.
In other news this morning, I am now officially a homeowner. K and I own the duplex in which we have lived for.... I don't even remember how many years. We spent half an hour discussing whether or not one of us should move in with the other and rent the other side out to get a little break on the mortgage, but then we realized we would probably end up killing each other.
