You are welcome, and would be in very good returning-player company, in Cynosure. Visit Cynosure-online.com/forums and see if you like what you see.
If so, register -- it may take a short while to get your "you aren't a bot" account approved -- and then post a lil intro.
For your pearl, do a /sea all for one of my sackholders(*), Sairsha, Shadowmonkey, Whoohoo, Faithfulopossum, Sturg or Baconfat. Did I forget anyone?? So long as you agree to register on the forums, they should be able to pearl you. (Just explain that you corresponded with Grommet on Alla and have agreed to register on the forums and post an intro.)
*-- Sad to say, I cannot be on much right now due to RL issues.
