Saying goodbye to an old friend

Many of you already know this, those that don't will find out very fast, but one of our family members is leaving the family ;_; Left, actually. Past tense. Firemyst has reached the point (a point we will all reach sooner or later) where the cons associated with Final Fantasy XI outweighed the pros. Although the announcement was rather sudden, I got the feeling that he was going to leave the game for the past few weeks. But that's ok. We all have to leave sometime. And I wish Firemyst the best in all his endevours; we all do.
I'm writing this for all the kitties whom shared a connection with Firemyst (Ranruriko, I'm looking in your direction) who were not around to see Firefire off or to say goodbye. You know who you are; and if you know Firemyst you know good and well how to get in contact with him. Anyway, we all had a great big mithrrra pride gathering in windurst woods complete with a *very* impressive fireworks display (I alone burned through like 7 stacks lol) and some very touching words...and of course the traditional naked mithra parade ^^
I got lots of screenshots of the going away party, but sadly none were with fraps and all the colors are dark and muddy >< I'm going to try to clean them up, adjust the contrast and whatnot and send them to Golddess; maybe we could add a little Firemyst tribute section to the screenshot Gallery, just an idea. Hmm, I think that's all I wanted to say. It's been an emotional evening. Peace out, you hip hipsters.
*edit: I also want to add that I hope Fire's departure does not inspire anyone else to leave our tight little family. We have suffered enough loss for one day =(

Bummer. Sorry to hear that Firemyst has left. And I'm also sorry that I missed the going away party. 
I for one am a happy cat to have Firemyst back
