This is going to be fun! *smells a conflinct in the air*

Hooray! Seems the story's beginning to unfold. I can't wait to see it start.

Are you sure about horses? Is that not a little too... big?

Concerning the eventual reasons for taking Michael along, if the idea of lacking equipment was too problematic to realise, then I got another idea, kind of drastic, but maybe in the end it would be more interesting... That would be because he wants to go with the party, Michael is going to lie (!) and (after learning where they are heading to) he says that he was at the North Moors once and saw a walking tree there. This could be a good reason for the others to take him along. "I-if you take me with you, I-I could, erm, I could show... I mean, show you the place." Either way, I'm counting with that he's going to encounter the party the way that he sees them and follows them (out of interest) to the point that it starts to seem suspicious (and some of the more active characters can come and interrogate him).

Hmmm... now that I think about it, ponies seem to be more typical in the Shire. Farmer Maggot's cart is drawn by them. Okay, make it ponies.

Nice to see the ideas flowing, however you choose to meet up as the story goes along is fine with me. I will let you all work this out amongst yourselves as we go. So I guess Bunny would be the first post we need up, sorry about the delay. This weekend was a little hectic for me and I have been forced to work more hours at work. I will however write up my post tomorrow, between clients. I will have Bunny arriving in Buckland to meet with Tansy.

Lommy do you want to be expecting Bunny, or do you want her to just show up there? I think it may speed things up a little if you are expecting her but have no idea what she is planning. I can have my post end when I arrive at your door and we can have a few small posts between us, then we can meet up with the little family, since I assume they will be visiting your family at this time? Then we can go from there.

So, Valier, since I have to work tomorrow, I'll go ahead now and open the game thread for you - HERE.

Whatever, do how you will and I'll just follow, captain...

Ok I've posted. I have made it so that Tansy knows that Bunny is coming and lets say Bunny wrote her a letter asking her to come with her on her adventure. I have made all of my supplies get all muddy, so now we really do need more supplies, so this can open up more possibilities for us all meeting. Take it away Lommy.... the thread is yours.

I am SO excited about starting!!!!
