Wait until later, Folwren, please.

Okay, the consensus seems to be to have this day go a full day, which I intended all along anyway. Jenny's request to have the next Day be the next DAY, now, that will have to be a shortened up day, posting-wise, but I'm okay with that.

So the upshot is that we need to tie up some loose ends on that second Day. If you could all work toward that, it would help; that way character development can progress without too much of a feeling of disconnect.

Please don't see this 'skipped time' thing as an abysmal blockade to what you are trying to do, but as a 'problem of the form' that needs to be worked with rather than against. It's kind of like poetry in rhyme and meter, or like the need for a children's book to have shorter chapters. Limitations to the form can actually AID instead of detract, but we have to LET it do that. I hope that makes enough sense. At least I know what I mean....
