Oh! Fea! I didn't know you were even considering writing!

Take Saeryn while you're here if you want to. I plan on continuing her just as soon as I have time (i.e. as soon as I finish camp), but if you're here and wanting to write for her, then do so!

I would certainly not mind you playing just a summer long character. Maybe you could tell us what happened to Degas.

Now, I can't stay. Talk to you all later.

I wasn't. Elempi accidentally convinced me it was a good idea.

I don't. I mean, I do, a little, for old times' sake, you know? But not really. She's yours now, and you're doing an amazing job with her (I just read the Scarburg thread), and I had no idea how fun it was going to be to read somebody else's rendition of a character I started. I'm totally caught up in her story and I'm dying to find out what's been going on in her life. Her brother's dead?! She's injured!? She went back to the Folde!? Seriously, I'm absolutely delighted, and can't wait to see what you write next. I completely trust you, and I'm stoked to see where you take her. I'm so glad she's being written at all, much less by somebody as good at it as you.

Maybe you could tell us what happened to Degas.

Speaking of that, I was joking with Elempi via PM about him showing up with some vim and vigor and scoping out the ladies and Elempi reminded me of Linduial and I was like . I'd completely forgotten that entire series of events.

So I went back and reread the whole Linduial-kidnapping mini-RPG and was in shock that we wrote that like two years ago. Now I'm reacquainting myself with characters and pondering who I want to have stop by. I was reading what I'd written for Lin's brothers and was like "Oh, Farahil, you're so dreamy..." Me and sailor boys... Really, how can you go wrong with a character modeled after Faramir, a pirate, and a ninja? Heh...

If I bring in Degas, he won't know anything about what's happened in the Folde, so it would be completely legit for me/him to inundate Saeryn/you with questions about what's been happening in her life.

And it might be easier for her to spill to her twin than to Eodwine.

And I think - you're welcome to say "Um, Fea... no." - that it would be fascinating for me to play off of your Saeryn, and perhaps fun for you?

If no, I'll bring in a temp character instead of revisiting an old one.

*pretends I wasn't writing these characters when I was in high school*

Ouch, I feel old.

Highschool? Dang...me, too.

That would be AWESOME! He could finally meet Javan, too! I would love it and it would be very, very much fun.

When do you want him to come? Saeryn is going to wake up eventually... Elempi's wanting to jump a month or so, methinks. Anyway, we'll talk later, I've got to run.

So Javan... burnt down the stable? I read a lot (all of Saeryn, a lot of everyone else) but was mostly after basic events since the Mead Hall's turned Scarburg on me. And I didn't read the most recent Mead Hall stuff on the old thread. My quick read through gave me: The stable burned, they went to Edoras to get supplies and stuff, coming back they came across the ruins of Scarburg and decided to set up shop? Am I close?

When do you want him to come?

Whenever is convenient for everybody. A month jump would be perfect, I think, to give him an excuse to show up.

Scarburg is actually about 50 miles from Edoras, more or less north to northeat. King Eomer commanded Eodwine to transfer his Meadhall from the old White Horse Inn to Scarburg, which land he outright gave to Eodwine as reward for the riddance of Sorn. So Eodwine still owns the White Horse Inn in Edoras, but it is being operated by a nameless someone there. Or was it that old guy with his son who he hired on? Sure, why not?

[Groin Redbeard]

I think Sam put it best whe he said: "Well I'm back."

I'm glad to see that everyone has been busy in my abscence, and I look forward to all the posts that I'm going to read! I'll start as soon as possible and get the hunting party back to camp.

Gotcha. And is Scarburg actually on a map, or is it a name that's been picked out?

[Gwathagor]

It is invented.
