See Ya Soon (hopefully)

Unread post by Raivana »

To folk I've been playing with, I won't be around for a while. Not sure how long I will be away but at least a few weeks. Had a bad run with Beshaba and my apartment caught fire. No one was hurt. It looks like I lost everything though, computer became a literal toaster. Had renter's insurance so I'm in a hotel for now. Will be building a new computer the day I get the renter's insurance payment in you best believe. :lol:

Pretty sad times though. At least I can share some interesting pictures with you folk though.

Thanks... and just remembered, my characters I am currently playing are under the name Razia, so Lazuli and Razilee mostly. Also, forgot it is April fools... wish this were an April fools prank.. would be a pretty shitty one at best though.

Wow ...

I'm very sorry to hear about the fire, Raivana. That's a hard thing to bounce back from. But, still being alive, you will bounce back. I had someone close to me survive a fire a few years ago (they unfortunately lost their pets, but not their lives), and I remember how emotional it was for them.

I'm glad you're OK, though. That's the most important thing. I'm also glad you had renter's insurance (smart move for any renter!!), and will get most of your worldly treasures replaced in due time.

Your virtual family here will still be here when you're back. Hang in there and keep strong. You got this!

It is sad to see this happen to you riv, I am glad to hear you and everyone else is ok. This in combination with the global crisis must be alot of stress in general, and so I give you my whole-hearted blessing in hopes the future is bright for you after such troubling times.

Stay safe and stay strong,

Glad you're okay and I hope you get a better rig out of the deal. The D&D books and dice is sad too, man. Life is resiliently fragile. Let us know how your introspection time goes!

That is terrible. But just stuff was lost. You are safe.

When I was young a shared wall neighbors apartment caught fire and though the fire didn’t get into our place, the firemen broke into the ceiling of our place and essentially soaked the entire apartment at full blast to stop the blaze from tearing through the building. Nothing burned, but everything lost to water and smoke damage. So I feel that immediate loss-pain! It is amazing how shocking it is to lose ones home like that, in an instant.

But I can first hand say that stuff is stuff and the world is drowning in stuff so very likely stuff comes back (with exception) into your life! Or maybe, you are now freed. :)

Holy crap! Glad you're okay and thank goodness you had renter's insurance (smart move, btw). I don't know that I actually played with you IG, but... Shoot, hope you can get stuff situated and get back in soon. Take care of yourself in the meantime!

Wow, glad you're safe. Ive worked in the Emergency Restoration field for over 13 years, and ive seen what you have posted many times over. My clients usually have a high amount of stress (rightfully so) and have many questions, doubts, and worries about regaining their footing. It usually takes some time, but every one of them have bounced back from it. You will too. Hang in there!

Figured it's time for an update. Insurance has been coming through bit by bit and I've began building back up. Still have a ways to go but it's a start. I have most of my computer parts in, just waiting on my processor and power supply. Should be in tomorrow. Have internet too, so might be seeing you folks in game tomorrow afternoon. Depends how long it takes me to finish my pc and download everything.. and possible issues with CD keys.
