I try to avoid sharing this outside of desperation, but desperation is just the norm. We can't, I can't, afford the delusion of pride of self sufficiency. It seems we've built a society where those who wish to help are denied the resources to do so, while those with incalculable resources are interested only in accumulating more.

So we, as a society, must fall back on the desperate hope that there is enough charity left to get us through another day. I'm sorry for the rant. I'm sorry for the ramble. Things are just so bad for so many, and yes I and the most important person in my world are directly, drastically effected by it. We don't desire luxury, extravagance, or the extraordinary. We just want to be able to live, peacefully, with each other, not spending every hour of every day wondering how we'll make rent, make the car payment, afford groceries.

I can't remember a time where my mind wasn't on the edge of screeching panic due to the uncertainty of absolute, basic fundamentals. I hope I can experience that someday. But it clear isn't today. Thank you for listening, thank you for sharing, and thank you for whatever help and good will you can provide.

I discovered I can't perform plasma donations due to health reasons and I haven't had any more luck finding a job or getting any more hours at the one I have. Anything anyone can do is greatly, greatly appreciated. I hope this message will find you all well.

Sorry for posting this so late. We will be meeting tomorrow around five, at the Rabbit. The rabbit is now located across from Regions, next to the Freemason Lodge right next to the square.

Just letting everyone know, no game this week, at least on Friday. Possibility of maybe something at some other point, stay tuned.

First session tomorrow, Friday the 16th, at the White Rabbit on the square. We should be starting at 5:00 PM.

There is no mandatory meeting today, but I'll be on the quad for a bit around two and about in general until nine today if anyone has any questions.

First actual session will be this Friday at the White Rabbit in the square. It will be primarily focused on finishing up character creation. Not yet sure if the exact time, I will keep you posted.

If you see this, message me on Facebook directly ASAP. I need to know who can actually see these updates so that I can see who is in the loop.

Addendum: The next meeting is Saturday at two, in front of the Caff. We'll try and work out a time in which we can actually start meeting for the game itself then.

And a little glimpse and how the movement's managing abroad:

Addendum: Okay, there are a great many people who have contacted me about this, so I'm changing things slightly. Initial meeting is still going to be two o'clock on Saturday, but we'll be meeting in front of WoW, because at the moment I don't believe there is room to meet at my apartment. So that's in front of Jack Hopper Dining Hall (AKA as the Caff) to any laymens. See you there.

Alright folks. We're going to have our first meeting on Saturday. At the moment, it's probably going to be in my room, which will be rather crowded, so if anyone has an alternative suggestion feel free to message me. Also, message me if you're interested in coming, and so that I can inform you of the location of my apartment. Tentative meeting time is two PM Saturday afternoon.
