Limitations to the form can actually AID instead of detract, but we have to LET it do that. I hope that makes enough sense. At least I know what I mean....
Understood. I think it's an interesting way to run the Hall. Sort of nice to go through the seasons along with the characters. But there are just a lot of loose ends for this particular day that I think make it worth holding off on the time change.

Oh, and I don't know if Garstan will have loose ends with Eodwine because I don't know what the Eorl is planning yet... There are definitely some loose ends between my characters and Linduial, but those might be better handled on the AiE thread. Jenny knows what I'm talking about. (A surprise. )
