Where is Lommy?

If I post, it probably won't be until Monday.

I don't know, but she told me that she would be away from the July 23rd to August 11th.

littlemanpoet · 08-02-2008, 02:28 PM

Okay, I've set the stage for all three of the characters I have going here.

Firefoot, I hope you can (or wish to) do something with what I've provided re Rowenna.

Same thing goes for Thornden (Foley) and Stigend (Noggie) re Eodwine, and Saeryn (Foley) re Harreld.

I'm waiting for you guys now.

Nogrod · 08-02-2008, 02:58 PM

Legate is visiting us (meaning Lommy as well) and Rune is coming on Monday... I might have some time tomorrow evening though and I will try to fill something in.

We will come back from our summer cottage on Saturday a week from now (we leave on Tuesday) and after that the normal routines will fall on us and we will be more able to attach ourselves.

But as I said, I will try to fill in something tomorrow.

Deeeeeeep Yankee country: Door County Wisconsin. I guess I better keep my Rebel secessionist thoughts to myself then while I'm up there!

*grumblerebblesessesionistmoronthoughtsgrumble* Just kidding!

Have fun!

Firefoot · 08-03-2008, 11:13 AM

Currently working on a post for Scyld... proving difficult since so much of his history and his prior knowledge of what was going on at the Meadhall was written about some... two years ago? Oy vey. And now with Degas re-entering the picture... yikes, I'm going to have some reviewing to do (not now).

Firefoot · 08-03-2008, 02:24 PM

About the layout of the camp... the main sleeping area and the kitchens area are both in the baker? Because I thought they were, and then people kept referencing the "kitchens" leaving me to wonder if something separate had been constructed...

I don't think the "kitchens" are under the baker the people sleep under but even less are they kitchens...

But surely they should be a) nearby and b) covered with a canvas and / or supported by some temporary light structures by now...

But they are not ready or at their place yet as they will be built later as part of the Hall itself when the Hall gets constructed.

Yeah, the way I've been seeing this in my mind is that the baker (where the cooking is getting done) is (from the entrance to Scarburg) a little to the right, in front of the ruins; the eating tables are more or less directly in front of the ruins (thus to the left of the baker) and the tents where people are sleeping are to the left of the tables, more or less in front of the (former) ruins. At least, that's the way I've been thinking of it.

EDIT:

Firefoot, what fun.

I'd rep you but (you know the drill) .... Anyway, I'm going to have to give this some thought. Will post soon....

Folwren · 08-07-2008, 09:42 AM

Ha. That post of mine for Thornden definitely wasn't of impressive length.

I have a question, though. What exactly did Eodwine mean that they would celebrate? Are they taking off work - or are they just recognizing how far they've gone?

-- Foley

littlemanpoet · 08-07-2008, 02:16 PM

I haven't given that a lot of thought, Foley. It could be a day off, it could be an afternoon off, it could be a bonfire at night after a full day of work. What do we want it to be?

By the way, you might want and "end quote" on the end of your last sentence there.

Firefoot · 08-07-2008, 08:19 PM

Just to let y'all know... I'm getting ready to head off to college right now (read: I'm going to be very busy); I'm here for another week and then I'm going to be a week without internet access. After that I suspect that I will find myself rather busy with orientation stuff and getting settled in... but I'm going to do my best.

Just when I'm starting to have fun with this again...

It's always something.

Gwathagor · 08-08-2008, 03:20 PM

I have returned from the seaside and will post as soon as I can.

Kath · 08-09-2008, 07:47 AM

Hello! I am back.

Might post for Kara a bit later, I'm missing Frodides, or I may wait until we get to the evening so she can greet Nain. Depends on how the rest of the day goes!

littlemanpoet · 08-09-2008, 01:24 PM

Firefoot & Foley, it's your turn again. And Gwath may have Crabannan interrupt too, if he wants.

Gwathagor · 08-09-2008, 03:05 PM

Ah, splendid! Thanks for moving Crabannan and Degas along.

Gwathagor · 08-10-2008, 12:01 AM

Gwath has posted...more introspective rubbish!

littlemanpoet · 08-10-2008, 03:34 PM

Fun post, Gwath.

Foley, Noggie, or Fea, feel free to beat Eodwine to the answer if you like.

Folwren · 08-12-2008, 07:31 PM

This is turning out very interesting.

Let me know when Saeryn's character is handled incorrectly...or butchered entirely, Fea.

In the mean time, have fun with what I just wrote. I could have done more, but I figured now might be a good time to let you write something.

-- Folwren

Gwathagor · 08-12-2008, 07:40 PM

...wow.

Thinlómien · 08-13-2008, 03:38 AM

I'm back as well. Everybody has been writing amazing stuff, really.

I'll be able to post soon but I won't be able to be very active in the next 1,5 months because some of my final exams are coming up... (although, one could certainly count writing here as practice for the English exam, right?

)

Are you kidding? This is great. We all know she's a bit of a hot head. She gets herself into things before thinking about them. She's smart and she knows how to do everything she's supposed to do, but she tends not to consider that when acting on impulse. And obviously there are social norms which that doesn't apply to: she's proper in the things that matter, but her personal heroine is Eowyn, which means that duty, honor, and freedom to live and die for your country in a way that matters to you are top priorities.

So calling Degas a coward is going to strike a fascinating note...

Because yeah, he basically gave up on their home half a dozen years ago. Used the younger son excuse to leave and hasn't been back since. With their parents gone, their sister gone, Saeryn relocated, and no responsibilities there, he had no reason or desire to show up. Hence the Gondorian emigration. Like the young artist living in a run down loft in NYC, hoping to make it big, our boy found himself in Elessar's court, playing off his heritage to get himself more interesting audiences.

Not very lordly behavior... So Saeryn's accusation is completely unfair, but it's also hilarious accurate.

And he's going to have to retain his newfound maturity to avoid telling her that her home would have been Eodwine's hall if she hadn't spooked and ran away as soon as he called her on there bordering-inappropriate relationship.

I'll write that some time today...

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-13-2008, 07:05 AM

Post up.

Groin Redbeard · 08-13-2008, 09:54 AM

Glad to see you back, Thinlomien! It feels so good to be back home!

Everyone has been doing great posts, and I'll see if I can get one up today. Is it alright if Erbrand starts with the festivities that Eodwine promised? I think I might have Lithor come back for a little bit with Erbrand if that is alright.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-13-2008, 11:10 AM

Love it love it love it!

I so missed everybody here... Both characters and writers.

And the drama...

I'll write later. If not at work, then after.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-13-2008, 12:28 PM

Post up. Elempi, rebound, rebound!

Folwren · 08-13-2008, 01:44 PM

Lommy, when you (or Nogrod) post, could you look into the boys' situation?

Thinlómien · 08-13-2008, 01:47 PM

Yes. Whichever of us has time first.

Folwren · 08-13-2008, 02:38 PM

Kath, you can post for Fordides if you like.

Coming in... coming in... Our choir has a few concerts tomorrow at local "Art goes kapakka" (Art goes to the bars) -festival but I will get myself updated and posting in the weekend.

You beat me to the question, Folwren: what is going on with the boys? If someone needs to go and check, or help, them Erbrand would be a willing participant. It would give him something else to do anyway.

Folwren · 08-13-2008, 03:35 PM

Cool. No big rush. I'm just wondering. Don't mean to pester or be annoying.

I'll write you a chance for it during the weekend...

(hopefully on Saturday)

Kath · 08-13-2008, 06:44 PM

There we go. A post for Frodides open for Folwren if you want to continue it and a post for Kara open for Form and/or Gwath.

littlemanpoet · 08-13-2008, 08:21 PM

Erbrand or anybody else, feel free to start with the festivities.

Formendacil · 08-13-2008, 08:25 PM

Kath/Gwath, the ball's all yours; run with it.

Though it occurs to me that Crabannan has been rather tossed from one person to another lately as everyone gets rid of him... you might prefer to post yourself, although I can think up scenarios where Kath posting first would be more fun.

Whatever... it's out of my hands.

Gwathagor · 08-13-2008, 08:28 PM

It's a hard life. Your sympathy is noted, Form, and will be duly rewarded when I come into my kingdom.
