Most of what I was going to say has been said, and thank you very much for handling that pretty well without my glorious leadership that you could not do without.
And in all seriousness, Trip, seriously. Please chill out about this stuff. It's not necessary, you always regret it, and eventually I'm gonna have to draw a line like I did with Pancake, as much as that blew huge steamy monkey chunks. I hate doing that shit. I even hated doing it with Ferg, and by the end he was actively burning bridges. Please don't put either one of us through that.
Okay.
Here is the number one reason I don't interact with people, as much as I want to (and I really, really do, you guys are great people and I have no problems with any of your characters that I can think of):
Or to translate that into non-referentialese, back-to-back events that are largely exclusive.
This isn't a Mega-exclusive thing. Maybe it's just work making things frenzied, but lately I've been feeling pretty shut out of things too, actually, and that is basically the whole reason why. It's not only a bit intimidating to suddenly jump into the middle of this months-long thing I've never been involved in before and do anything more meaningful than just ask about the weather, I'd honestly feel like it would be butting in. You know how someone new joins, and they don't really know how to do this whole roleplaying thing, so they just kinda awkwardly jam themselves into whatever's going on and start ass-pulling things/knowledge just to feel involved? It feels like that.
It's why I basically don't do anything with Mega, it's why I've been autopilot-ignoring ramuf, who I thought still was doing a thing, it's why I'm still a bit hesitant to do stuff with Trip, it's why I've been kinda avoiding Duffy and the stand stuff, and on top of that, it kinda discourages me from doing things too, because anything I tried would feel meaningless and shoehorned next to alllllll that stuff that's been compiling that I haven't been a part of, so I just make plans, forget about them, and things wind up stagnant at times. I've been acutely aware of this feeling since joining Pledged Prelude, but it's showing up here, too.
I don't have much else to say, because as I mentioned before, I think you guys found your solution before I showed up, but here's my stance on things, in case you want to fine-tune it, or in case something I brought up hasn't been addressed. I will admit that probably half of this is me vanishing on weekends during peak hours, but even then, I still have the rest of the week, and yet everything still feels a bit isolated.
IMPORTANT! There is no chrome. There is an owl, though.

Alright, cool. Maybe I mixed him up with someone else, then.
