(OOC: Exposition: To all members. What just happened is a story-arc discussed and agreed by several members, not the sort of thing that happens all teh time...
Father accidently has sent Mr Cole and Father into the future, where they will veiw the lives of all the characters, but, 18 years older. I.E. Vibs and Viq are 18. And so on. We thought this would be a fun oppertunity to explore the characters more. So...
If you can all continue play as if we just jumped 18 years. So, play your characters 18 years older. And Mr Cole and Father will play both their future-counterparts and themselves. Any questians?
I saw a simpsons episode similar, and that worked very well...)
