			while TIT happens, I lay low with Sam and folks at Absolutely Epic
			finally, MindStage comes back from the AE folks

			FORK B

				FORK B, PATH 1

					I give up control of MindStage because of stress and tension from the schism

					ENDPOINT 1: MindStage

				FORK B, PATH 2

					after TIT dies down, I start palling around with those guys again
					Nate joins their new crew, and thinking "oh, so they might still accept new people, then!" I join too

					ENDPOINT 2: The Layabouts

		FORK A, PATH 2

			during the end of the united MindStage, I try to find some old people who never migrated from Porplemontage and disappeared
			I find XCubed/Mikey D, my musical partner in crime at Porplemontage
			he tells me he hangs out all the time at Sonic Retro now
			Tweaker, a major admin there, recognizes me and gives me Oldbie status, I stick around because the Oldbies are pretty cool

			ENDPOINT 3: Sonic Retro
