OK, I returned to the work camp, I begin tomorrow. On my spare time, I will attempt to role-play. Sorry about the delays. I am recovering so that's good!
Yes, it's OK. You can always do whatever you feel is best. You don't have to respond to every available option, either, such as what you've done here. This way the story unfolds how you feel best with whatever pacing you're comfortable with. I should be able to post tomorrow for Omega.
