OOC
At the end of the day, I have to sadly pack up my toy and take him home.
Tom's dead. I was unable to keep up with playing him as much as I wanted to as well as balancing RL, and honestly, RPing him was so tempting all the time that I had to remove that want to keep playing him. Many thanks to ruby_bday_gift, who helped me plan this from the beginning.
I've played Tom since May of '05, so for a year and a half, about. Unless someone was forcibly keeping me from the internet, in some way or form I played him every day. I don't know if I'll ever be able to replicate that enthusiasm for any other pup, but I need to thank you all for giving me an environment and RP partners that could keep such gusto alive. You guys, from the very beginning, have been wonderful, and I hope to see you with my other puppets. I cannot thank you enough for bringing me joy every day, for a year and a half, all of you. Thank you so much.
I'll admit, I get way too attached to my puppet. It was more a matter of letting him go than just offing a puppet, and I could not have grown such affection for a fictional character without believable other characters and the players behind them to cultivate that realism. Pat yourselves on the back. You're all amazing.
I'll post the OOC details for the will and funeral as soon as they're sorted out.
R.I.P., my puppet. Sleep well.
