@ Rotting Baron and the Nest gang: Why did Ashley back out of the wedding? Was it because she wanted to be with Ally, or was there more to it?

I find broken relationships interesting, because the Nexus tends towards happy ever after. Partly because we don't like to disappoint out rp partner. Partly because we want good things for our character. But mostly, I think, because roleplay lets us gloss over all the human failures and day to day irritants that wear at RL relationships. Whatever the reason, it seems that relationships are much more often ended by deadtime widowhood rather than 'it didn't work out', which makes it fun to read when you get a break-up.

(Not that there's anything wrong with roleplaying happy relationships. I certainly have my fair share.)



And now, for sleep...
