Here you can let us know if you will be away for awhile. It will help us know what is going on and keep your character in the story kinda; even if you have to take a month off for money or some other reason. You can tell us why you will be a way or just RP it.
You can RP this by simply saying, "Bryton has been called away on a special assignment," or something far more creative when you get back.
Or you can simply say, "I just got a new game, so I'll be off for awhile so I can play it."
I kinda prefer the RP version, being an RP guild and all, but what ever.
