I felt the need to type something after rereading a thread. This is very informal; I can write a lot better than this. A spur of the moment piece, I suppose?
Because there are colors that clash with post backgrounds: show
“Hey guys. I wanted to say something for a while now, so is now good?”

“Of course. What’s on your mind?”

“It kinda has to do with my assistant here.”

“Hm? What’s up?”

“Well… how can I put this? You’ll be replacing me pretty soon.

“What!?”

“You guys know that I’m getting old, right? It’s about time that I step down.”

“Well, I guess it was inevitable that you would have to leave sooner or later… Everyone is going to miss you, you know.”

“Naturally. Heh. Though it’s not like I have much of a choice in the matter, now is it?”

“So wait, if she’s replacing you, who’s going to help her?”

“There’s not much of a difference between your powers, to be honest, but it’s like giving someone your throne. Are you sure?”

“Yes. And, uh, I was thinking that you would. The two of you could work side by side, right?”

“Wow, that’s humbling. I’m not saying I should definitely be the first choice, but I do know a bit more of the technicalities. Two is a bit unnecessary though, don’t you think?”

“Well, the assistant position was pretty much the same thing as yours, though, wasn’t it? The position isn’t really necessary anymore. Anyway, I think we’ll be fine after this. It’s a bit sad that you have to go…”

“I guess. It’s just that I think that you’re all ready for it, really. While I was at it, I was thinking about promoting someone else, too… He’s about your ages, if that says anything, and he’s been pretty much doing the job anyway.”

“Ah. Him? Again, not needed, but the more the merrier, I guess. Did you tell him?”

“Not yet. I might invite him shortly though.”

“He’s a good person, definitely.”

“Wow, this is a bit overwhelming. It reminds me that I, too, will have to leave eventually. Anyway, whatever you decide, it’ll be right. All of us are great in my opinion, and I think I trust ourselves enough to do this. Good luck with whatever you’re going to do after all of this! When do you think you’ll be off, anyway?”

“Actually, it might happen tomorrow. I won’t disappear completely, I’ll still hang around to make sure everything’s going smoothly, but yeah, it’s coming fast.”

“Huh!? That’s crazy! If that’s your decision, I guess it’s fine though…”

“Looking at you guys, I’m sure the place will run fine. All of you are good leaders, I can tell that to you right now!”

“Yeah, you’ll be fine! Everyone I’ve picked has plenty of experience and knowledge. Oh, look! It’s him! Now’s a good time to ask. Open the window and we’ll invite him in!”

“In here? Is he allowed?”

“He is now!”

“Whoa, what’s up?”

“How would you feel if I gave you more leadership?”

“Well, would it be bad if I said I was kinda expecting it? I’ve noticed that people listen to me a lot now. I guess I’m good at mediating. I think I’ve been doing your jobs more than I’ve been doing my own, to be frank!”

“Hah! That’s just like you. Well, I guess it’s decided! You’ve all been great friends during my time here, and I hope we continue to be. You guys are ready for this!”

“Thanks…”

“Dang it, don’t make me cry now.”

"It's been good knowing you!"

“See you soon. You’ve been great. It’s just retirement, right?”

“Of course. I’ll still stop by often.”

"Oh!"

“Good to hear, Moy. Good luck?”

"Good luck!"

“I could say the same to you, but I know you won’t need it. So long Amp, Buff, Chau, Ven, Doram, Nin! I entrust everything to you.”

In a more accurate version, I'd have launched into a ten minute soliloquy about my retirement, nevertheless this left me with a wide smile on my face. I almost wish I had kept my UR powers, if only to be able to see these old F23/41 topics... C'est La vie.

Silent Conversations and a Crow's Final Song!
My latest story, and one of my personal favorites. A girl bound in silence finds the words to say to her prospective girlfriend as they visit her religious father in a dusty town on the edge of Kansas, where the crows' migration south brings forth anchored memories, the path to resolution, and a new start.

Dunno if it's the right place to talk about that. But you (MoD) inspired me a lot in the past and I look forward to talk to you again. Probably when that WITBLO discussion starts I will finally see a bunch of people again...I hope.
