Good Friends We've Lost Along the Way

Letting go of players is never easy, but sometimes the world does not cooperate.
Three of my Truck Stop players have left the campaign due to a vocational paradigm shift; simply put, they moved to the other side of the country to start their new courses, which left them unable to travel back and forth in a timely fashion.

So this is a salute to three fine players and their efforts to stay ahead of the curve.

Mozatan, the short-fused mechanic

Mose was a quiet man, unless there was a profit to be had on the hapless customers of the Truck Stop. A small dent here, some missing fuel lines there. Nothing was too difficult to fix for him. Mostly because he had the ripped out those fuel lines only minutes before, but who would argue about that with this 6'5" mountain of muscles.
After the truck stop exploded he went on his roundabout and has since gone to the Wastes.

Hae-Yoo, the gun-toting store clerk

Why waste time helping people when you could just as easily show them the badly drawn floor plan so they can get lost in your shop for even longer and buy more stuff? Hae-Yoo snuck around, had his Shabti do everything he did not have to do and simply misinterpreting every single thing the humans did.
When you assume that you should throw hamburgers in peoples' faces to get free food, you know you must be a promethean.

Bollo, the card-sharking encyclopedia

Bollo never intended to end up in this mess. He just got dragged along with everything the others seemed to do. Eurydice had him stab someone. David sent him on errands and every customer treated him like thrash.
Once the group split up for three months he actually enjoyed himself as a waiter.
But after that, the group got together again and the madness ensued once more.
He saw everything, remembers even more, but why would you interfere in the affairs of others?

I have had the time of my life playing with them and I hope to see them again sometime in the near future.
