Hey everyone! Going into tech week x2 is getting pretty hectic so I won’t be available much. I’ll still be online, replying to owls and doing the official duel, but shop orders and RP posts will slow down. I should be back to normal the second week of March. <3

Some of you may have noticed that I have not been quite as available on Discord recently. Some of this is social burnout, some of this is me being busy. I am posting here as I will have far less activity (especially on Discord) for about the next week and a half.

I will still do some work on the site, but will not be actively checking/responding to DMs for the most part. There may be a few days where I am more around in a social capacity. You will still see me doing Wordle, and I may respond in the server for official staff/duelling things.

If there is something you absolutely need me to see quickly, owl me.

I will still keep track of current obligations – e.g. IMOG, duelling posting & keeping up with mentees on Livia's account.

hello!

I’m posting to say my original device is currently not available and I’m not quite sure when it’ll be available again, so as much to my dismay, overdue and regular replies will be certainly delayed and so will my shop orders. This applies to discord as well. The reason for this is, yes, mostly my device and the fact that I am behind in school and for lack of better word, in my mental health as well. I do have access to discord via this device scratch that, not anymore, I guess. Although, I’m trying to limit my activity for the next week to two weeks, at least, until I retain my original device. And, when I do have my device back, I’m not sure what’ll happen, if I’ll take a mini break from HiO, for school and health, and other online things or not. If you need to contact me, owls would be the best bet, though, if you do happen to dm me, it may take a little bit for me to response.

Broom racing and mentees (@Ava Lynn, @Alex Adams, @Elena Adams) will be my top priority as well as owls. I hope that when I retain my device, I’ll be ready to write replies. Regarding my orders, @Lyanna Oak, @Korinna Nightshade, @Jessamine Lancaster, since all of my pngs for your Cyrus banner, Koko, is on my original device, I will not be able to finish your banner, nor Lya and Kori’s banners just yet. I’ll get to each banner after I retain my device, I just don’t know when that’ll be.

I apologize for the inconvenience, and the long time I’m unfortunately taking to response to our threads. Thank you for understanding. <3

Hi! I am posting to report my slower replies and less time on site from tomorrow all the way to the end of June.

I am about to go to senior high this year and have to face the high school entrance exams this June. As the last semester in my junior high is coming, I have to spend more time preparing for the exams and the upcoming Shanghai Maths Olympics test this September.

As a result...
1. for March and April, I will probably be unable to write replies on weekdays, though I might be able to answer owls, monitor my threads at the counter, do quick orders and make minor updates of the Chinese textbook. I will be doing replies on weekends, hopefully at least two a day, according to the sequence of the previous reply. I will also try my best to update one Chinese lesson every 2 weeks.

2. for May and June, I will be even less active, I may do 1-2 replies per week, quick orders and minor updates may also be done.

still open for new roleplays but I will try to keep the number of current roleplays to less than 4.

I am so sorry for the inconvenience <3 <3

I am currently abroad, but I will be less active due to ongoing regional conflict involving my country of residence. I will do my best to remain contactable.
