Pio,
I have labelled your last space 30 Narie, and piggy backed on top of your post. The earlier posts all said 29 Narie, so I didn't want to use those. If this isn't right, let me know and I'll move. sharon

Confused.....how can Pio talk to Cami on 29 Narie when she is still in the woods. (Unless Pio uses osanwe??) Cami will return the morning of 30 Narie, creeping in very early.
Please clarify and I'll jump forward as needed. sharon

All please note:
I have saved several spaces for those needing to fill something in for 29 Nárië (The day Gilly and Rose find Mith and Bird) The calendar is now set ahead for 30 Nárië; the day after that will be Loëndë - the twin's birth - which I hope to get to on Tuesday, Real Time. Is that all right with everyone? Auriel, btw, nice baddie post! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Mithadan, Bird: do you know about when you will reach the ruffians' HQ?

Man, I'm lost. I haven't been able to keep up really well lately. Could somebody tell me where I'm supposed to be?

For Orual .....and anyone else who's slightly lost....
---Mithadan and Birdland have decided to "infiltrate" the bandits to gather inside information. They are now on their way to Bree to try and hitch up with the bad guys, even though Pio is due to give birth any day now. ---The bandits (Auriel, Nuru) have kidnapped Fosco, the nasty little child who is the son of Angelica Baggins (Nuru), and is holding him with the other hobbit children. He is proving to be quite a handful ---Rose Goodchild (WhiteLady) and Gilly Took (played by Pio) tried to run off to join Mithadan and Bird in their foray to the bandits. Gilly was sent back by Mithadan to the Inn, since she is supposed to be a nursemaid to the twins. She is expected to arrive sometime tomorrow. However, Rose Goodchild, being the stubborn type like her mother, has gone on with Mithadan and Bird. ---Cami and Maura have decided to disobey the orders of the Valar that they go their separate ways (Second and Third Ages) at the end of the tale. They are determined to stay together. Pio treated Cami rather abruptly, so Cami left Hobbiton in a tiff and vowed not to return. The sensible Maura changed her mind and she is now returning. Oh, yes, Cami is pregnant.... Frodo Baggins has heard the rumors on the street that he is to blame for the appearance of the bandits. He vows to do whatever is necessary to help clean up the mess. If anyone has anything to add or clarify, please be my guest. ******************************************** As I read over this synopsis, I am reminded of the afternoon soaps! ******************************************** What happens next, and how does Sam fit in? ---In the next few days (game and real time), Pio will have her twins with the assistance of Angelica Baggins, her midwife. ---One week after the birth of the twins (game time), there will be a party given to celebrate the arrival of the twins, and for Cami and Maura to exchange public vows. ---Sam, sometime tomorrow real time, Frodo will come to you and ask if you can throw the baby arrival/wedding party at Bag-end. Perhaps you could respond to him as you see fit and help with the planning, and welcome folk to your house on the day of the party? ---One minor point, during the course of the party, rumor has it that the twins may be stolen......but we won't get into such unpleasant things now. Hope this helps. Anyone else with anything to throw in? sharon

I apologize that I haven't posted these last few days! Our internet service was acting up again but I think the problem has been worked out. I'll work on getting back up to date and moving Rose along. Terribly sorry for the inconvenience, once more [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]

tWL - Post looks good and is up! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Sharon - are Cami and Maura now staying at the Inn? If so I need to rewrite my intro to the birth post - please advise, as I'm putting the scenes up later today.

Actually I was hoping for a little humor, and some pain for the missing husband! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Got both - Pio and the twins thank you!

I am in the process of inserting a number of posts into the save spaces while Pio is giving birth. I'm about half-way done and will finish tomorrow.
Orual, I'll be sending you a pm to do some planning, probably tomorrow. Please look at the first post on page 10. This is where Maura talks to Sam about the party. I hate to tell you this, but you've just agreed to open up your house for visitors! Cami

Is it fine to keep putting in back-at-the-hideout posts in while the action is focused in the Shire? Just want to check before I add another.

Yes, Auriel - that would be great. Deepens the bad-guys side of the story.
Sharon, Mith and I are busy at the Birthday party awards thingie - so I'm hoping by next week at the latest, the Star will be back on track. [ May 05, 2003: Message edited by: piosenniel ]

Auriel,
Thank you indeed for your posts. We are off-track as Pio has explained. I definitely want to greet Pio's babies, and do some party planning with Sam. I am hoping this happens later in the week. Cami

Per Mithadan's most recent post, the storyline has jumped ahead a day. We are now in the month Cermië - day 1.
Orual - Sharon will be getting together with you so you and Cami can plan the party which will take place in a week from the birth(7 Cermië Game Time). theWhiteLady - you are now in Bree Anyone needing to post something for the birth day (Loëndë) just PM it to me and I'll be happy to place it for you.

Mithadan,
I plan to borrow Lorien for a brief conversation. He won't even need to leave his bedchamber... Pat, Can I send a post to you to put up at the right time in the thread, since I will not be here this weekend? The scene will be at midnight, and will involve a conversation with Lorien and later with Pio who will be up nursing her little ones. (I wonder how much sleep Pio is getting with two hungry little critters...) Also, to everyone, I filled in my save of 5/7, 2:47 pm, welcoming the twins. Orual, Please see my pm on party and wedding plans. sharon

Sharon - midnight of 1 Cermië, right? the day after the birth. Send away and I'll tack it on.
Elves don't need sleep . . . YAWN! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Now you see it, now you don't....
Yes, I deleted and redid my latest post and pasted it in later on the thread. Orual, As you can see, Cami, Maura, Frodo and Bilbo will pay Sam a visit tomorrow (game time). If you have a chance to post, please feel free to use my characters freely to plan the party and wedding as I explained in my pm. I'll be back on Monday. sharon

Running to go....
Pio, Since this post was done on word and we've had such trouble with word posts sent by e-mail, I am pasting it here. You are welcome to erase this post once it's up in the story. I hope this is coherent. I amin a rush and just banged this out. Sorry this is gargantuan. SHARON Hope you have fun on your trip! The Post is up. Pio will reply soon.

It is now 2 Cermië
By 7 or 8 Cermië we should be having the party at Sam's. When Sharon returns, I'll see if we want to crunch some time to get to that point.

Talking of which Nuru and I really need to speak to Mithadan and my pms keep being rejected because he's full.
Oi, Mithy, baddies trying to make contact!

I sent Mithadan a PM concerning baddy plans before the limit was sent, but I'm not sure if it ever got through.
I'm still working on that post. Fosco is going to enjoy himself.

Pio,
I stole a very large chunk of space for Cami in your post of May 9 at 3 pm. Cami and Maura have finally figured out what they are doing. They are ready for whatever time crunch you care to perform..... sharon

Under Orual's post of May 9 at 1:06 p.m., I've added a discussion of flowers for the party. Yes, that was not a misprint!
Actually, this was kind of interesting. I have a book from 1913 that gives the meanings of about 500 flowers. I am quite sure Tolkien would have been familiar with these meanings. Lobelia, for example, means "malevolence." Needless to say, Cami did not choose that one for her bouquet. sharon

I've filled in my post from May 09, 04:12 PM. Fosco obviously doesn't agree with Ferny's plans to kidnap the twins! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
