Oh I shall be a herbalist and I am all woman

[Brinniel]

Aw, did I miss out? I've been busy and I didn't realise spots would go so fast...

It looks like a really fun game, though.

EDIT: Heh, I just realised all this signing up took place in the last 24 hours or so. No wonder. I truly meant to sign up yesterday, but I can't blame anything else but procrastination. But I've never seen a game fill up so incredibly fast (especially so quickly after the last game) and didn't know there were limited spaces. *smacks self* So much for trying to make up for my performance last game.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I feel it only fair to mention that I am taking the Angela Carter route in this game of fairy tales.

I shall rewrite and intertextualize to my heart's content, while harboring scandalous thoughts about wolf men and torture devices.

My chosen role shall be, as is apropos, Storyteller.

I shall make it my first priority not to interrupt your own tale telling, my dear Moddess.

[Nienna]

I'd like to be the village bookkeeper if I may.

I am, if anyone was unsure, female.

Back up: Brinniel

[the phantom]

I am a collector of books, and keeper of the village library.

I also talk to myself, talk to various inanimate objects, eat my sandwiches in the same odd pattern every time, freeze for three seconds whenever someone shuts a door, and do all sorts of other strange things for apparently no reason.

EDIT: Oh, you are kidding me. I started to make this post before Nienna posted, got distracted by PMs, and now "village bookkeeper" has been claimed. Hoo boy.... what to do...

Fail. What do you suppose the village bookkeeper does?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Books and library are just elaborate metaphors, eh fantòm?

[the phantom]

Actually, you know, that's fine. It fits well with my insanity that I've set up a library when there already is one. As a matter of fact, I almost never let anyone use it, and refuse to ever sell any of my books. It remains a mystery as to how I am able to afford to eat.

I don't get along with the other book keeper, or "that blasted library wench" as I call her. And yet I'm always sneaking in and reading her books, and occasionally I try to walk off with a few.

[wilwarin538]

So rather then bookkeeper, you are a book-imprisonner??

Oh I can think of how you eat

Now I promise the next time I post I will come up with a profession, I thought I had one earlier...

On my planet, book keeper is a bean counter ie accountant..... though some of use also keep books in the other sense(as domestic pets...).

In the interest of creating maximum confusion, I will be a bookmaker.

Anyone want to be the Village Problem Gambler?

[Boromir88]

I presume you'll call yourself 'Roger'?
( Couldn't resist )~Inziladun

Sure, but please pronounce it "Row-jair"

I'm quite excited about this new role by the way Boro, it's wonderful.~wilwa

Thank you. I was first thinking of maybe some "Giant" role, but didn't know how you would be able to fit it in, then I remembered the Robber Bridegroom and looked up the story.

Fantastic! My friend in NZ used to work on a programme to help problem gamblers which was funded by their Lottery.....
