Alas, but ere the time approaches whereon I must away! This place of fellowship and good times, nay, this blessed house of friends, I shall feel sorely thine absence in the upcoming months. O, must I now depart from such frivolity as took place in thy spam zone? Must I go, and cease to take part in thy ever engaging sport and contest, the PoTS, the PANs, the RP Idol, and Traditional Art of the Month? Must I leave my faithful and loyal crew, my band of pirates, to do for themselves and act as they judge? Moreso, must I leave these, my friends? Must I wander, without their company to cheer me and to lift mine spirits in times of trial or discomfort? Alas, 'tis so, and these soliloquies serve not to convince me stay, to the contrary! They do naught more than to further my will in going. Indeed, t'will be an unhappy occasion, my going away, but to the glorious adventures which await me I look forward! Do not be unhappy, my friends, as I go boldly on and look not behind me, for even as the red sun sets, it rises again when night has come to pass. Yea, even as I leave you, I shall return. Time is but another way of travel, as I walk, it will pass, and it won't be but a short while and I will be seen again, a stronger, wiser, happier being, returning to the house she once chose to leave. Take note of the date, for t'will be the day of my return. Watch for me, and do not ye dare forget me, for rest on this assurance; I shan't forget any one of thee. Aye, KHV, the time is upon us, and I take my leave with sorrow. Fare thee well, and may good health and blest times be with thee always. Forever thine, ~Cap'n Marushi-sama-o-nee-chan-no-okami-san-sensei III ...Oh, forget it. It was a fun time, I'm really gonna miss this place. I'll be gone for a year, and will do everything in my power to come back when it's over. Only the most desperate of situations will keep me away. Until then, have fun, be nice, don't give the staff a headache, and Pirates? Hold off on the conquer of KHV until I get back. XD Peace! ~Maru
You shall live on in our hearts and ours in yours. Farewell mon captain! -Your fateful Jack Sparrow impersonator/hired assassin. P.S. Why are you leaving for a year? Just curious.
