Flaco (trying to tell me something? ) - er - Falco, that is... (might want to edit your post, Foley) is not nearly as concerned about Thornden's feelings as he is Garmund's, nor as he is about finding all he can about Lefun & Ritun, not to mention keeping Thorden away from Lefun & Ritun. Thornden's a big boy and can handle himself in Falco's opinion. A blow up? That might actually be fun!
I have a very busy day and only a few minutes of break left, so I may not get to post until tomorrow. Carry on! What I'm hoping for is that Trystan will try to look for the man Garmund has just described, to see for himself whether he's the right one or not. Then Falco will nicely ask Thornden to keep an eye on Trystan - he being the only one big enough to keep Trystan out of trouble - while Falco stays with Garmund. I think Garmund will be willing to live with such an arrangement. Then, once Trystan and Thornden go too far, Falco can take Garmund to Lefun & Ritun and make introductions, and have a short conversation (at this point L&R will be "one headed". ..... only to have to deal yet again by the sudden return of T & T. And then we can see what happens after that. Sound good? |

Garmund will be delighted to go with Falco.

Flaco's not a bad word, is it? I'm so oblivious to bad words and such that I really wouldn't know one. . .but I will change it just in case. Is it only here in the discussion thread? Guess I can go check on the game thread, too. . .
Do whatever you see fit. I'll have Thornden follow Trystan and you can slip off. A blow up might be fun. I think what will be funny is a short tempered Thornden returning home to a friendly teasing and slightly annoying Medreth. . .I know very well what short tempered big brothers can be like. -- Foley

'Flaco' means 'skinny' - a common hispanic nickname.
And here's a famous Flaco. ~*~ Pio, just passing thru . . .

Great post, Celuien! You nailed Falco's speech pattern.
EDIT: I'm waiting for you, Garmund. Last edited by littlemanpoet; 09-08-2006 at 06:57 PM. |

Just saw the edit this morning. Tonight! The past couple of days have been hectic. Residency stuff. I've been able to log in and read for the past couple of days while writing emails to make sure all of my letters of recommendation (and the like) have been turned in to the Dean's Office and looking up programs to send my application to, but not much else. Sorry! I seem to be doing this a lot lately. It should be better soon. EDIT: Okay. Post up. And a bit of Rohirric legend invented.

Very interesting how this is dove-tailing with real life. Last night I saw a news show on conjoined twins. One pair are adults still joined at the head, choosing to stay that way. They share 30% brain matter but have comletely different personalities. Pretty amazing. They can only see each other's face in a pair of mirrors aimed back to back. Lefun and Ritun are facing the same way. Makes for the kind of story I find easier to write.

Okay. I'll answer later. Something just came up here. I need to run.
EDIT: Things are under control for the time being, and will hopefully remain so. Post up.

Elempi and Celuien, would it be an inconvenience for you two if Thornden and Trystan were to retrace their steps and come back now? Finding Falco and Garmund gone?

It's fine with me, so long as Garmund has been convincing and doesn't need to keep trying to persuade the twins to come to the MH at this point.

That works for me. I won't be able to post probably until Friday so if Celuien wants to handle matters, what I see happening is T & T rushing by back to the circular "room", Falco and Garmund and L&R hearing them go by, Falco shushing Garmund. Then Falco will tell L&R to stay right there, and F & G will go back to the circular place and "explain things" to Thornden.
After that, I'm kind of stuck. The deal is, Falco wants to have Garmund help him convince L&R to go to the Mead Hall, but somehow he has to get rid of Thornden and Trystan and keep Garmund with him. How to do this, I don't know. One alternative is for all four to go back to the Mead Hall and for Falco to spirit Garmund away "because Garmund really wanted to back for a second look". So I don't know. What do you think? If you have other ideas you'd rather pursue, go ahead. Till Friday.... |

I can try to write something tomorrow, but I have a reception to play at on Friday afternoon, so I'm a little busy until this weekend.

Well, Friday won't be too late, actually, because it turns out that Laiudanama and I have more writing to cover.

Of course, if anyone knew that Medreth is at the Mead Hall and told Thornden, that might be a convenient way to get Thornden out of there pretty easily. Maybe. Just tossing out ideas. -- Folwren

HOLD it, Elempi! Thornden and Trystan haven't moved yet, since Lai's last post! She has to write at least one more post until we return back. I'm sorry for the false alarm Wednesday. I thought we were going to be heading back immediately, but it turns out not.
Can you change the last paragraph in your last post? Sorry! -- Folwren

I'll wait for you and Lai to get Thornden and Trystan past Falco and company before posting again. How does that work?

Four RL days have passed .....
We seem to have hit a snag. Apparently, Foley & Lai are unable to lend their able pens to EMH right now.
Therefore, we shall proceed as befits the occasion: I will post another piece in the story down the road, and Foley & Lai may post their fill-ins on this thread, from which they can be placed by the trusty Pio where they best fit. Everybody got that? Now to figure out what to have Falco do.... |

lol, yes, the pause has gone on rather long. All of my characters are in conversation with other players' character.
I think you're idea is wonderful. Lai and I can write what we need when she's more available. -- Folwren

Lai! I've posted and it can be a finished post, but I can also get back on it and edit more into it if necessary. I wasn't sure if you wanted Trystan to tell his story now or later. You let me know and either write something for me to put into my post or tell me what to say and then I'll finish it myself. Whatever you like.
And, Tara, I think I'll wait for you to make a reply for Lys before writing another pots for Javan. -- Folwren

champing at the bit.....
Great posts! Now, can we assume that Falco and Garmund follow Thornden and Trystan back into the circular chamber? so that Celuien or I can post? Or do you two need to post again yet? Lai, maybe you want to have Trystan answer Thornden first? At any rate, if you don't post in the next day, we'll fall back upon our "agreed upon method". Actually, I may not get a chance to post tomorrow. We'll see.

Cel, Noggie,
It seems we're having an err... pause form our little storyline. I suggest that we do something about it. Do you, Cel, wish to be the next one to continue the discussion? (It is left in a place where it would be logical for Garstan to comment.) If you don't, I guess nobody minds if I will? And Noggie, could you edit your latest post so that Moddie sends the children to eat too, since that was her original reason to find the children?

Sorry, Lommy!
I'll post as soon as I can, but it may be a few days. I have quite a bit going on through Sunday. So if you have something before then, please don't wait for me.

Okay, Lommy. Thanks for poking me. Garstan has suggested a compromise.

Sometime in the next couple of days, I'm going to be PMing synopses of the letters from Lin to their recipients. I thought about writing the letters outright, but that's proven too much for me.

Celuien: A good and righteous solution, although not so much approved by Stigend... His plans were given a blow again. So let's continue this one. As I was the last one to post into this discussion I've just been waiting for you two to go forwards with it. If Lommy could make something next, I'd think it fine. I or Celuien might take it on from there then?

I've a post brewing for Falco, but it'll have to wait until I'm done with work. I'm getting antsy for this story to get "Rilef" to the Mead Hall!
