Nogrod, I thought I'd let you make the next post. If you do not want to, just let me know, and I can write again. Whatever you prefer.

-- Folwren

Thinlómien · 12-01-2006, 02:28 AM

I think Moddie won't "interfere" in Garstan's, Stigend's and Thornden's discussion as I won't be able to get online in the weekend or on Wednesday.

Nogrod · 12-01-2006, 05:27 AM

I'm having a pretty busy day today, but if I have time I'll write something.

Foley: feel free to continue when you wish.

Folwren · 12-01-2006, 10:28 AM

Alright. Whichever one of us gets there first, I guess, will be able to post. I have a busy day, too.

We're snowed in and I'm jollified.

I shall wait a little while longer before posting "that big post" that Feanor and Kath and I have been waiting to show for so long. It's time-stamped for very late in the day, well after dark....

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-01-2006, 09:27 PM

Hey Elempi, could you send it to me for a glance over before posting? It's been a while...

Okay. I try to write something today, in the evening (mid-day now here), so that you would not be delayed any more. Hopefully Celuien and/or Foley are able to react to that.

But surely, go ahead people. We may continue this children's stuff parallel to you others posting as the discussion of the parents and the kids might take place also in the late evening.

Folwren · 12-02-2006, 10:32 AM

I think it would be just fine to say it's fairly late evening by now. I've been picturing it pretty late, anyway.

-- Folwren

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-02-2006, 11:49 AM

I'm chill for the post to go up. Just one thing: 'Saeryn came through the doorway' is in there twice in a row. Just seems very redundant.

*is happy to be back and functional as a human being*

Fixed. Will post at the appropriate time.

Glad to have you back. For how long?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-02-2006, 01:30 PM

Got me.

Nogrod · 12-02-2006, 04:06 PM

Foley & Celuien: as you see, Stigend is in a bit sensitive mood and clearly hangs on to a possibility of moving the subject of discussion to other paths (well, Thornden initially asked about the building-process...).

But surely we need to have a word or two on the subject of the children before we actually go to them.

lmp & others: I think you should go on with your posting and not wait for us to settle this. As Foley said, it's quite plausible to regard the moment as late evening. If us three being in the hall is a problem, we should find a solution to it so that you too can start posting...

I second that! By all means, don't wait up for us.

And as to your other comment, Nogrod - alright. I'll run off and read what you posted.

-- Folwren

littlemanpoet · 12-02-2006, 05:41 PM

I've posted up. I did make a couple of revisions here and there, Kara and Feanor, to correct spelling, improve sentence flow, and so forth. Nothing major. Talk about bombshell posts!

Kath · 12-02-2006, 05:48 PM

I don't mind you changing the sentence order elempi, but Americanising my spellings?

Odour is most certainly spelt with a 'u'.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-02-2006, 06:45 PM

You fixed my sentence flow?!

*is hurt*

Folwren · 12-02-2006, 09:48 PM

Great post, you three! I'm glad you posted it now instead of later, Elempi! I laughed out loud when he proposed the marriage. Haha! It was so funny! Sorry. I thought it was funny, anyway.

Well, I guess Nogrod, Celuien and I need to hurry up and finish. I'll write a post tomorrow morning. If I go to bed now, I may be able to get up earlier than I have been and perhaps manage to write a post before breakfast. We'll see.

Yeah but what I replaced was "smell", not "odour"; so there.

I think it was funny how crazily the discussion veered depending upon the pov of the character.

Folwren · 12-03-2006, 09:00 AM

It was interesting how crazily the discussion leaped from one subject to the other! Poor Kara! That one part of her reaction to Eodwine asking Saeryn if she would like to marry him was particularly well done. I'd be looking for a way to escape, too!

--

Nogrod and Celuien, I put up a post that ended the discussion amongst us three and had Thornden withdraw. If there was anything else you wanted to say before he left, we can insert it somewhere in my post. I thought you two wanted to do a bit more writing about your fathers trying to figure out what to do with the youngsters, so I decided to end our conversation and go to Lys so that we can end the night in tolerable time. Let me know if I need to fix anything.

-- Folwren

Nogrod · 12-03-2006, 09:49 AM

Looks good to me Foley!

Celuien: Would you like to continue from here? We should probably exchange a word or two before we go to our children (and have Lommy a chance to come in). Then, at least I think, we should have a late night meeting of the families in one's or other's room. What do you think?

Taralphiel: Could we see Lys coming so well off that the kids might try to join his company? Just inform us when and we will take care to bring him in...

Btw. How old is he? It has somehow avoided my attention...

And overall, do the children know about Lys or is he something like a secret too?

I'll write something later today.

Thinlómien · 12-04-2006, 04:14 AM

There seems to be plenty of things happening here! Great!

I will try to write a post today, but if I can't, I will write one tomorrow.

Ah, thank you very much for the invitation! As early as the next morning I'd be more than willing to have Lys brought in.

Lys is 14. He's befriended Leof and Javan, older and younger respectively (is that right?) but he would welcome any company, of any age!

Some people about the Hall know of his staying there, but I don't know about all the children. I suppose it depends on when their families arrived at the Hall? I'd probably have to do some back-reading.

Lys has only been wandering around the Hall in the open for a day or two. The children would know of him a little, I'd guess.

Foley: I'm writing a post now. I might even write it in notes at work and have it up tomorrow, as I really like this particular conversation. I've missed writing for Lys!

Okay, Jenny.

On that note, is there anything else anybody wants to post on this Day, or are we ready for a new one?

And how much time shall we allow to pass for the new Day? What do your characters need? The very next day? A week foward? A month? A season?

Celuien · 12-04-2006, 08:31 PM

I put up a quick post to bring the Garstan and kids to the meeting. We may need one or two more posts to finish up the night. What do you think, Nogrod and Lommy?

Folwren · 12-04-2006, 08:31 PM

Tara said above that she is hoping to get a post in for this Day.

<- Hopeful grin.

And I would like to go to somewhere in the near future. Not too long, you know.

Points out that in collaborative writing, it's not so much a teacher/student relationship as it is one between colleagues.

Since when are you taking me seriously about that? Oh, I forgot, you're a student in real life.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-04-2006, 09:21 PM

And I have the utmost respect for my professors. I'm going out for sushi Wednesday night with two of them.

That's alright with me. Though I can't write anything today or tomorrow, so I expect you and Noggie to at least start the conversation. If it seems that I'm preventing the mead hall from moving on, you two others can write all the posts and Noggie can call me (on the phone) and negotiate with me so that I get some of my thoughts into the discussion though I do not write any posts.

I think the two families would like a smaller jump; a day, few days, a week, possibly two weeks; anything that is okay with you others. But the jump just shouldn't be too long for we certainly want to see if the family negotiatons bear any results, good or bad.

Taralphiel · 12-05-2006, 05:09 AM

There's my post, short and sweet.

Foley you need only say the word and I can add something in for Thornden if you PM it over. Save you posting if you don't have much to say

Time jump: are we going to follow up with Saeryn? If so, that should be ASAP before she's given too much time to rationalize and actually use legitimate logic; impassioned stupid ideas are best acted upon quickly.

And I'm still working out what to do with Degas.

For me, the less time passing, the better, but I can deal with whatever decision.

Happy to.

There seems to be enough reason to have another Day following immediately after this one. You can all count on that. I'll move the Day forward by midnight tonight. So get your posts in that need to be in by the end of this Day.

Celuien · 12-05-2006, 04:08 PM

I've moved the discussion along a bit. Garmund is particularly disinclined to cooperate at the moment. Stubborn child.

A challenge will most likely be needed.

So...a few days of camping? Building a storage bin for the hall? I'm not sure what the challenge should be. If you have one, Nogrod, Garstan will agree.

Garmund is turning out to have more of a temper than I realized.
