As I explained in the journal [link] , now you get to vote to decide what you think should happen next. You can choose from my three suggestions, or leave a comment with you own suggestion and hope people vote fot it. One vote per person unless you've got a very good reason why I should let you vote more then once. *cough cough* 
I'll keep the "polls" open for about a week, which would be September first, and assuming people actually vote, start work on the next part based on what you vote for.
EDIT: The polls are closed and... *drumroll* it's a tie. Three votes to stay and wait, three votes to go look for her...
well, seeing as how these two are not mutually exclusive, I might be able to work both into the next part...somehow.
(well, I wanted to practice improvising, so I guess I can't complain...) You can expect the next part in about 2-3 days, hopefully.
