1. Yeah, somewhere within a decade or two of the finale; I was going to have the story take place at a somewhat indeterminate time, but at some point we have to acknowledge the handing of the torch in our wiki's canon, right?

2. I like to imagine everyone gets a happy ending. Artie seems the most likely to die on the job in my head, but I ignore that thought because it's not Happy :)

3. The Caretaker initiation process wouldn't be important in either Caretaker story, both would take place sometime after their role has been established and they've been around for some time.
