Ouch. Well, glad to have ya back.
FYI on how things are operating: if your character is past 30 days, it's considered fair game for anyone to pick up. However, if you make a post in the IC thread before someone else applies for said character, it becomes yours again. The GMs (read: myself and Eddie Brock) still have the final say on whether you can pick the character back up, but I figure that'll only really be necessary for repeat offenders. Also, the character limit has been raised to three instead of 2.*
On an unrelated subject, I'm gonna get a Cyclops post up at some point tonight, guys, honest (probably after I get back from seeing Scott Pilgrim)
