So, it might be nice and/or useful to have a place where we can all chat and such, outside of the actual challenges, and not tangled up in previous challenges. So, any conversations you want to have that DON'T relate to a specific challenge, feel free to put here. :)
We will keep this chat thread throughout the event (and perhaps even after that, if we want to keep in touch between Wayward Squirrel events, the rest of the year?

I just want to say I'm sorry guys if you come across this. I take sleeping pills and they have me sleeping way to long and the sucky after affect is guess what? more sleep! -sigh- so if you don't hear from me that's probably why. I know I'm going to have to ask my Physician about it soon. Not gonna lie..I feel bad..because I have been slacking in a lot of ways with my rl stuff..because of the sleeping. It doesn't help that time just feels like sand running out of my palms onto the ground.
Hope your all doing well! Gonna miss the ones who's teams come back next year; n; miss you guys already; v;
Aw... Yeah, sounds like the prescription is definitely not the right one! Hope it gets better soon!

Okay, , random questions... What time zone's do you guys live in in the real world? (You don't have to tell the actual place, if you don't want to, but the time zone would be helpful, so we know when people are actually online...)
I'm in Europe, (Subeta Standard + 6 hours), so that it's 11:30 am here right now. I'm usually on in the morning and afternoon. I'm a language teacher, though, so my schedule is kind of random. Sometimes I have morning or lunch lessons, but most of my lessons are in the evening. Then, I'm online again after my last class (so between 8 and 9, or Subeta 2 or 3 pm). I'm usually off of the site by 10:00 (Subeta 4:00 pm), because the hubby wants to get to bed.
(Speaking of which, please keep that in mind when completing challenges, and I'll try to mark it myself. If you go to the end of their deadline to post something, I might not see it until after the deadline, the next morning...)
So, I'm usually most available in the early morning, subeta time, and I'm gone by mid-afternoon...

@ rainestorme Thanks! We started an rp on the C2 rp thread if you'd like to join usw
Edit:I am on usually during Morning and sometimes afternoon, I'm Eastern time zone.
Yep, I'm there! Hope you don't mind, but I wrote in that you could telepath me, Canidae... Figure it might as well go that way, since Raine has such a random, magical, and unknown past anyway... Could be any number of reasons why she might understand you like that...

I live in the US and my timezone is two hours behind the Subeta clock... however I have no set schedule. For example I woke up at about 5pm yesterday and I've yet to go to bed now at 6am. 😅 Currently there is no structure to my day and when I am awake or asleep can change at the drop of a hat... usually I can check Subeta multiple times a day but there is a lot going on right now in my life + my current mental state makes me a lot more sporadic in when I can be here and that's why I checked with Greenrowan that I could be reluctant before I joined. Not sure how good I will be with writing this Wayward year but I'm going to check out the RP topic. c: Still playing catch up. <3
Let's see, it's 10:00 am here and 11:00 am Subeta time. I guess that makes me an hour behind. (?) [My brain is currently going in fifteen different directions....and I did have a quote there, but lost it to the wilds...] Sorry I wasn't able to post much the last couple of days. I'm summer job hunting, and I was doing some odd jobs. Unfortunately, added to that is my computer is physically broken enough I shouldn't use it, and I'm sharing a laptop with user calie (my sister) who is on another team. I will work on actually posting my thoughts instead of over-thinking them. ....like I'm doing now...
Oh dear... I think most of our group is in about the same situation, unfortunately! But if you could head over to the roleplay here, that's the really important part right now. You can read what we have so far, and the challenge itself in the first post, and then post some stuff in your character's voice in that thread. Then, hopefully we can make some progress. :D
If you have more time, and are wondering about the other characters, people have posted a wee bit more information in the "Character Guide", though of course, not all of that information will necessarily show up in the roleplay itself!
Also, if you're wondering about where we should go with solving the mystery, and discussing the situation in Falcor, some of us have discussed that a bit outside of the roleplay, in the this post.

Wow, A lot got posted while I was gone. I'm trying to catch up now.
I am in the same boat as Hannah. 2 hours behind Subeta. But, I work retail, so my hours are sporadic. I generally try to come around Subeta in the evenings between 10pm - 2am.
Trying to catch up the last 5 years
I'm on Subeta time. I'm going to be off most Wednesday's for the rest of the summer but every now and then that will change so I'll let y'all know. I have family coming in the week of the 4th so I'll be on very limited time that week. I am a Child Life Therapist at a Children's hospital so I'm gone up to 12 hours a day four days a week for work because of travel time. I'm usually on between 7-9 pm subeta time. I have limited time to check in at work but every now and then I can check in on my phone.
Oh, and I didn't mention this, but I tend to disappear more on the weekends... Things get busy, we get invited to things, etc. :/ Thanks for giving us a board to start the new challenge. And guys, if I don't get there straight away, do feel free to do that. I can always edit your boards if need be, so that's not a problem.
I've added all of the new links and the challenge to our links board now, as well. :)

:) No problem I just happen to be on at an insanely hour of the night. I actually think she (GR) gives it a day between turning one in, and the start of the next one. And weekends are (to me at least) more a time to catch up with family and house work. I get disappearing for a bit. Don't worry, we'll survive a couple days if you need a break, and then when you get back you can again lead us to adventure. ;)
Yeah. I think that sounds about right for the time delay. :)
I should warn you all that I'll be pretty much invisible tomorrow, since my hubby took holiday this week. I still have classes, so most of our days are normal, but tomorrow, I usually only have one class, but it's cancelled, so the hubby has rented a car, and we're driving to Munich. :)
But I'll be back on Wednesday! And I might take a copy of that silly grid puzzle with me. I've tried filling it out about five times. I've done that same game a million times on my phone, and beaten all the levels, but I seem to run into major flaws really soon every time I go at it! Don't know if it's just the huge size of it throwing me off or what, but it's NOT going well!

I'm sorry, I didn't mention my absence. The reason why I have been off a lil bit..is because my moderate depression came back by a few trigger words my bf told me. So, I'm trying to stay awake now..somehow. My depression is like, "Did ya miss me? No? well than you can get some sleep! How does 10 hrs or more sound? :D" I really hate that I get that.. Yet, I am taking something to help..so I have that going for me. I looked over this chapters puzzle and it looks great! Cool that its all shakespeare characters. You are all working so hard! I'm proud of you! Let's keep it goin'! Also, if you guys decide you want someone else to be co-captain, I understand as I am not always active.
Side note..sorry..I am..not so great with puzzles admittedly^^; But ill try if you'd like me too:)
