Okay, so, I've deiced that I was a little premature in my dropping of Cloud, which.... renders this post useless.

And to make Ruxi happy....

I am quite repentful for my evilness in ever wanting to leave such an amazing group of people.

SO! In the end: YES! I am updating the Master to End of Time Master. You may have seen the ad for the dinner party that is already being planned around that sort of thing. For which we have the dinner, but perhaps if you're interested in being a guest, tell us? We'll probably invite your character if you think it's likely they'd be there, but all the same...
Anyway, to reiterate, this Master can shoot lightning from his hands, jump....really really high in the air, and he's a hobo-whackjob. And he's blond.

Oh, yeah, and he eats people. Well, eats most things. So he will be leaving during the darkness of the 14th (he will still have a post on the 13th for fourth wall, of course), will be gone the 15th and appear again, sort of, on the 16th. He will not be affected by the curse. But it will look like he is~!

Even though he'll be gone only shortly, he'll have hooked up his device to react to his disappearance and Rip and Penny will be alerted to his lack of presence in the City. Rip to inform her surprisingly politely that clearly, the group will have to suffer his loss and Penny to tell her that he'd really appreciate her taking in Masha (his ginger Siberian kitten). If she chooses to do so, she will find Masha almost weirdly well-behaved and affectionate. Kind of like a dog.

The Master will be hobo-ing it around the City for a couple or few weeks (way to steal his thunder, Priestly) and eventually he will get tired of having to constantly support his lifeforce, will make a deal with the Deities, and be back nearly the same as before. And he'll have a LOT of explaining to do.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you all know!

EDIT: Note! I am sorry for slooooow tagging. It is because I was sick for a week and had a crappy sleep schedule and then tonight, the Olympics opened! And I am Canadian! And I watched them and felt patriotic and cried a lot and GOSH, KD Lang has a gorgeous voice. I love her so. Anyway, Proud to be Canadian and all that and I will be catching up tagswise....probably Monday. Because of Fourth Wall.
