Can I close out the day? Pretty please? That would give me plenty of time to perfect my post...

Except that I'm going to be away the 21st-26th. So if that's ok, can I close out the day?

If it's not let me know quickly so I remember to post up before I leave.

littlemanpoet · 12-15-2006, 08:45 PM

The mud is actually quite symbolic, and very clear, considering who passes him by.

Jenny, I think it would be fine for you to close out the day. I'd be surprised if we're ready to do that as early as the end of this year, but you never know.....

Funny post, Celuien.

I didn't know Garstan had an 'evil' side.

Aye, aye, aye, I understood.

When Eodwine is dressed, do you suppose he'll be returning to the main hall for breakfast?

And, Firefoot, are you around? If so, can Thornden address Leof sometime this morning?

Firefoot · 12-16-2006, 06:52 AM

Yep. Here and ready to write.

He is rather enjoying the prospect of teaching these misbehaving children a lesson. All for their own good, of course.

Nah, he's going to hide up in his room all day.

Yes, he'll be breaking his fast in the mead hall.

Do you know? Whenever my brother thinks I ask him a stupid question (and I don't consider it stupid) he makes fun of me, too.

It must be a man thing.

Alright, everyone. I'll try to post tomorrow.

No, it was a fair question.

Sorry. I'll stop if you want. You and Thornden are just so easy to tease.

Oh. No, you don't need to stop. It generally doesn't bother me. Last night I was tired and grumpy and getting sick, that's all. Besides, I had gotten the feeling that I was annoying you at one point (entirely on accident), so I felt suddenly defensive and worried.

Yes. I am easy to tease. At least, I'm fun to tease. I don't know why, I just am. Everyone tells me so. *sigh* My sister says it's because I take everything so seriously - is that why?

Quote:

Oh.

Well, I apologize, then, for my remark of last night. I should have known it was wrong, what with the sort of attitude I was in.

Elempi, I have an actual question about game, though. This entire post isn't going to be deservant of the chat skwerl.

I was originally planning on having Thornden address Leof before talking to Eodwine about helping him in the stables. But I don't think Thornden would talk to Leof until he knew if Eodwine had anything else in mind or if he approved, or whatever else. So, what I'm thinking of doing is putting Firefoot on hold (sorry) and talking to Eodwine first.

Or do you think that Thornden should talk to Leof first? I don't know what should happen. Thornden knows Javan would like to work with the horses, but he's not sure if Leof needs help, and I can't tell who he would talk to first.

I think it's in Thornden's character to make sure that those in authority approve of his plans, so I would expect him to go to Eodwine first, then once approval has been given, he will with (the greater) confidence pursue his objective. Sorta like you.

Haha! Okay, thank you. I think you're right. I just began to write my post and I had an idea this afternoon to fix all my problems, I think. I hope to be able to get it up this evening sometime.

My brother with his wife and first child are here. My brother and his little son are so cute!! It will be because of their presence if I do not get a post up today.

Edit: Aha! There! I did it. Firefoot, your character has been addressed, and Elempi, yours has, too. I decided that I could use both my characters instead of one. This will certainly be interesting...having two to look after.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-17-2006, 09:42 PM

I wish I had time to phrase this in a nice happy tone, but I don't.

I will definatively not be around until further notice.

Pertaining to the story: I changed my mind about Saeryn running away. I hadn't had time to let you in on it, LMP. Her trip is critical to her story. She does still need to go find out what happened to her family. But now isn't the right time, either for character or writer. When she goes, Degas will be with her. And when they go, it won't be the same exact time I'm chiming in to say "I will definatively not be around until further notice."

Sorry to make you edit posts/story thought. And sorry for the short notice disappearance.

I'm out.

Thinlómien · 12-18-2006, 02:30 AM

I will try to write one post before Christmas, because from the 22nd onwards I won't be around for more than two weeks. (I'm visiting family/relatives in the countryside.) But I promise to be back next year and flood the hall with posts. Or, at least, post something.

Okay, I'll change my post to show that Saeryn and Eodwine have agreed, off stage, that until Feanor is ready to take up pen here again, she has agreed to stay at Meduseld under Queen Lothiriel's fosterage, as it were. Best I can do in any way that fits the plot threads that we have so far developed. I hope it's okay. I'm sure that the indefatigable Fea can figure out how to extricate Saeryn from such a prison....

Folwren · 12-18-2006, 08:55 PM

Elempi, ye don't mind waiting a bit, do you, before Thornden leaves Eodwine's company, do you? Or before I answer you? If you're in a hurry to do something with your character, I can add something to my last post and ... somehow answer you. Actually, I can do that anyway. Ne'er mind. But - if you want Eodwine to be able to leave, I'll need to know. Otherwise, I'll just have Thornden answer and continue with his breakfast and not necessarily give you a good chance to leave. Of course, Eodwine could always just get up and leave...but you can decide, I guess.

Eodwine is not of a mind to do anything but sit and let the world move.

It appears that interest and plot possibilities are high enough such that it may serve us best to make this a full day instead of a foreshortened one. So let's do it. That means Formy can post as soon as he likes, too.

Full Day!

Lhunardawen · 12-20-2006, 02:07 AM

Thanks, Kath and Foley!

Elempi, do you mind if I leave Randvér to you? You don't have to write for him or anything, not if you want to, but Eodwine could just call Ginna and pass along the message. She's used to her father disappearing without a word, anyway.

littlemanpoet · 12-20-2006, 04:16 AM

So the idea, Lhuna, is that Randvér has left Ginna at the stables and gone in to the Hall to speak with Eodwine? If so, I can write a post making such conversation happen as would be appropriate, and then have Eodwine see him off. Even though R. might disappear, Eodwine would have none of it, and would want to have father introduce daughter.

More like Ginna has left Randvér as he goes into the Hall to speak with Eodwine, and she wanders around, the bad girl. So I suppose Eodwine wants Ginna present as he and her father talk? If so, that's fine with me. But maybe not with Ginna.

EDIT: Oh. *is enlightened*

Randvér did leave Ginna behind at the stables, somehow without realising it. Ginna wandered to the area near the stables. Lhuna is lost. Sorry. *sheepish grin*

Thinlómien · 12-20-2006, 07:29 AM

I don't have the time to write a post today (must do some Christmas shopping), nor tomorrow (the school Christmas party). If I manage to get on a school computer on the day after tomorrow, I will write one post before Christmas, if not... well then it's 'til early January.

So, in case I won't be back,
a Meady Christmas for everyone, write well!

Okay, I should be able to put something up today or tomorrow. Hit me (hard) if I don't. I have no work, no school, and few friends hanging around now that I'm back home (though I seem to be inordinately busy in light of that). Anyway... if I don't get something up, you'll know that it's pure laziness.

Still not out of the Hall, though, but we can probably count ourselves as at the doors for our next post.
