Well, be that is it may, I'm heading off in two minutes for the ACT testing place and won't be able to take my turn until this afternoon, at the earliest. Tell me if you want Eodwine to come out when Thornden asks him if he can have a word with him, or what. I figure, Thornden will say something like, 'I would speak with you, if you have a moment. There are a couple things I would like to ask you.' And then Eodwine would probably step outside the door? Or say, "Hang on a second," step back inside, tell them he'll be back, and then come out?

Just give me a hint as to what Eodwine will say or do...

Sounds good. Take your liberties; I can always slap your hand afterward.

Well, I've taken my liberties, please don't slap too hard.

It's your turn now - I hope my post was long enough. When we're through with Javan there are still two matters that Thornden has to talk with Eodwine about, so don't excuse him too quickly.

Eodwine's reply to Thornden and Javan is up - and a pair of questions back to Javan. Let's see what happens. So as you can see, I haven't kicked Thornden out before he can put forth his other two matters. Busy guy, this Thornden!

No joke. Sheesh.

Okay, thanks. I'll post again tomorrow. Will you want Eodwine to say anything further after Javan replies to his questions, or should the boy be dismissed once he answers? Hmph. It's so late I've forgotten one of the two additional businesses...oohh, yes, right. Okay.

Tomorrow. Goodnight!

Feel free to put appropriate words in Eodwine's mouth. If I have a problem with any of it, I'm sure to let you know.

Nice post, Foley. Eodwine will not be quite so combative as the second to the final paragraph has him, especially in his current mood of pity for Ritun and Lefun. I think all you need therefore of the last paragraph is the final sentence. I'll have a post up perhaps tonight with Eodwine's reply.

Right ho, captain, sir!

So, the second to last paragraph and the last paragraph are going out, and the last sentence is being kept....

Will look forward to your post.

Clarification Regarding the Twins

Just so it's really clear and we all get the description (and our own perceptions of what's going on) the same: the twins are not two heads on one body; rather, they split at the mid-section and have two torsos, and two pairs of arms, as well as two heads. Please make sure you describe your character's perceptions accordingly. Thanks!

Celuien: I have used your family somewhat. Hopefully that is okay. I have tried to make things go forwards and to kind of open the wound that was never stiched among the children...

Please let me know if I have done something in a wrong way and I'll correct it.

Okay, thanks Elempí, I wasn't aware they had two pairs of arms, I'll edit my post a bit.

May I be so bold as to ask when we can continue? And on whom are we waiting? Neither of my characters are busy in this scene and I see little reason to add either of them to it. If the writing continued in a fluent manner, I would say we had enough excitement going on at present...

You can continue now. You don't need a personal directive from me. You've graduated from the Shire. Please carry on. If you wait for me every time, you will be doing a lot more waiting than writing. Heaven forbid.

Oh, I have nothing to post. If I had, I wouldn't have asked permission. I was just asking if you all could continue. Now that you've put up a post, perhaps Nogrod or Celuien will run with it.

I'm sorry. I'm just impatient, that's all. Not necessarily to write, at this point, but I can't stand being left wondering what's going to happen between those kiddeos, and now Falco................*chuckle* So, I'm just looking to jostle people up with enquiries of being able to continue.

From my pov, it seems that we could move things along to mid- to late- evening now. Is there anything anybody else wants to write before we do that? Because there's a post for me to put up that Feanor, Kath and I wrote about three months ago (I think) that belongs on this Day's evening.

I agree. I have nothing going on at all, much less anything that needs drawing to a close. Thornden has finished his business for the day and closed shop, except to eat dinner.

However, the ones who will really have to answer your question are Celuien, Nogrod, and Lommy.

I think we need at least one post from Celuien (Leothern taking a position in the boys' quarrel) and maybe one from me (I guess Modtryth will arrive to the hall very soon) or Noggie.

Hmmm hmmmm! Yes, Celuien has posted now, and the Eorl is feeling a tad tongue tied, thinking that these parents are overreacting a bit; then again, he has other stuff on his mind and it's been years since he seriously parented... waiting for Lommy or Noggie before I post again....

I wrote it, but it's quite long... I guess we can move on now, at least as for me and Noggie (and Cel?).

I'd like to see him react to the things in one way or another. I could then write Stigend out of the situation and we could go forwards.

But if you have no time for it or wish to move forwards immediately, that suits me fine too... just let me and Celuien know.

Celuien: I talked with Lommy on phone just an hour ago. What do you think of the following plan? These parents seem to be ones who wish to solve problems in a straightforward manner. So how if Stigend and Garstan make a deal that (as we jump to) the late afternoon / early evening they all would meet in ones or others room - not in public after all this fuzz - and try to settle the matter once and for all. Now that doesn't mean that we will be able to solve it - it might even get worse if we wish.

Great post Lommy!

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.

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.

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

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.
