The Hypogean Forum

Nobody is in crisis. I just noticed a few names have gone quiet longer than usual and someone should say that out loud instead of doing the sideways glance about it in a group chat. If you see any of these people around, a normal reply counts as a check-in, you do not need to make it weird:

— laundryroomlurker, it has been a while, no pressure, the silence is doing its job either way
— king_deceased, same
— crowfigurine, mostly I am just curious what you would make of the Ninth Ludus thread

That is it. Quiet is not automatically a problem. Silence that goes on past the point of comfort is worth one plain question, and this is that question.

Ask the question everyone is avoiding. It saves time.

still here. wasnt going anywhere. appreciate the ask.

Havent opened the Ninth Ludus thread yet -- new chapter is due and everything else waits its turn. Ill look when I look. Thank you for checking, though. Thats a rarer thing here than people like to admit.

Two for two, that is a good return on one post. laundryroomlurker, noted and no pressure stands. crowfigurine, the Ninth Ludus thread will still be there when the chapter is done, tournaments are patient, deadlines are not, you have your priorities in the right order.

king_deceased I will leave alone. Some silences are load-bearing on purpose and I am not going to be the one who pokes at that.

That is the whole check-in. Nobody has to perform being fine at me, that was never the ask.
