Subject: What's been happening & where we stand! A Summary!

What's been happening lately?! Where are we in terms of plot?!

~ Nowtimers have been officially booted out of Ista Weyr after Dedanseth's last flight. Dedanseth has laid a rather large clutch, with a possible gold egg.
~ A series of thefts around Pern has been totally eclipsed and blamed on the impending arrival of the Comet, which started as a small speck in the sky and now looms upon the horizon. The coming is close!
~ HRW has been suffering a crisis of leadership with Rhaeyn's return, which Aevryscienth's flight will determine once and for all! (OOC: The comet will start falling during her flight, set for tonight @ 5:30 PST).
~ Nowtimer RP has been opened as Igen's area is almost finished getting set up! So some future folks have already started RPing the new setting! All Igenites who didn't go back in time are welcome to join in the RP!
~ While some people continue to hold out suspicions for the nowtimers, a lot of folks praise them for saving Pern and warning them about the comet, though they are fuzzy on the details of exactly where and when the strikes will start and the extent of the damage save Crom, which will be totally destroyed.
~ Less honorable dragonriders can take advantage of fear-infused residents and crafters by charging for rides to the future. (This, of course, is discouraged by the weyrs, but with the comet looming, some weyrs are seeing the first breakdowns in leadership as everyone scrambles to prepare)

Where does your character fit? How do they handle the nowtimers not revealing all the details of the strikes? How do they handle the rampant thefts that have occurred across all of Pern? How does your character see the comet, that's now clearly in the sky? Did they think it a myth at first? Only now to be proven wrong? Are they getting ready to escape? Buying their way onto some dragonrider's backs?

The big apocalypse TP starts this week! With the first jumps starting on May 15th! From May 15th to June 1st, this is the time to RP your character deciding, doing their last tasks, and finally jumping forward. One June 1st, the game officially switches to the future timestream!!

Are you ready?!
