AN OOC NOTE (Help Appriciated...)

[bw_waspy]

((Ok, I've been asked 'where's Waspy, we miss him' enough that I feel it's about time I put a note here...

There's a problem. Due to OOC circumstances with another player that are beyond my control, Waspinator as he currently is cannot be played. This is due to my being unable to find a way out of or around the seriousness of fere/swordbonding in TF culture as portrayed in previous RPs.

I'd like suggestions on how to fix this so I can continue playing with Waspy... Right now, the only solutions I see are:

1. Scratch/Retcon everything... and I mean EVERYTHING I've done with Waspy, as he met Forte fairly early on in his time on Sages. This, I don't really want to do, as there have been some times when he was crucial to other RPs (for example, getting that tracking device out of Quint...)

2. Try to untangle it and just say "Waspy Never Met Forte, but Everything Else Happened" and attempt to sort out which events would not have occured. This could be tricky as heck, not just for me but for everyone with a chara that has interacted with Waspy... which is why I'd love some feedback on this mess

3. Drop Waspy as a chara. This I do NOT want to do, especially with the feeling that the situation with Waspy is an attempt to railroad/blackmail me into dropping another chara (long story) :P

Anyone have any other suggestions? The only fic I can think of that involved breaking a fere relation was something I read once that implied heavily it would lead to a bitter feud over the 'betrayal'... and that's not an option either.))

I do not care if you play that other character or not. I have no interest in making you drop him (or any of your other characters). I brought to your attention the fact that I wasn't enjoying certain aspects of our RPs. I'm hurt and frustrated that I'm not even allowed to express my feelings to you without you taking it as a personal attack.

No, you can't control how I react to things. That wasn't why I brought this up. I brought this up because my reactions were affecting how I interacted with you and you deserved to know why. Would you rather I have continued to grow more and more distant, never telling you or hinting to you that I was having problems?

That aside, if you want my advice for how to get Waspinator back, I say use Waspy's glitches to your advantage. You could do a subplot where Waspy returns to his normal form, but in the process loses several important memories. Should we ever resolve our OOC problems, it wouldn't be hard to arrange for him to regain those memories. Forte being the way he is, and since none of this means quite as much to him as it does to a Transformer, will probably flake about it and get wrapped up in other things.

I'm sorry about this whole mess. I really am.
