Weekend FYI

My wife (who posts here as Bodecia Albion, aka Derry O'Dell) and I will both be out of town and probably completely away from a computer until late tomorrow. So, if anyone is waiting for a post from one of our characters, feel free to go ahead and move things forward, and we'll catch up when we get back. I'm guessing things will likely be a bit slow over the holiday anyhow, but just in case, we didn't want anything to be held up on our account.

Should one of our characters' reactions be important for some reason, the following can be assumed:
Derek will be very sociable and focused on reaching consensus when possible, but also a bit impatient.
Konstantin will be direct and practical and a bit on the paranoid side.
Orphan will be over-protective and vigilant.
Derry will jump up and down, squeal with glee, flirt and try to get people to lighten up and have fun.
