Lord Athanar was a bit straightforward, if that expression is a correct one. I think he would act more decently and round-aboutedly with the other lords, but it seems he's just sick of this young show-off...

Let's see how it goes on.

There is the situation since Athanar's coming in a brief nutshell. Elempi, let me know if you'd like me to change anything for Falco, or add anything. It would have been a fun post to do with more reactions from Falco, but I didn't want to do any without you.

Things are really moving around here! I finally have a post up for Leof - I didn't get as far as I wanted but I'm out of time for writing now so I guess I'll just post in two parts.

Awesmoe, Firefoot! Glad you're around. I look forward to the second part of the post.

I left the conversation open in the kitchen, in case you, Nogrod, wanted to have Stigend or Garstan answer or anything. If Kath were around, she could probably post something, too. Otherwise, let me know and Saeryn can talk again.

Also, Nogrod, I hope you don't mind, but I've taken up the old character, Raban - the man that Athanar gave the job of teaching Javan how to make chain mail. I don't intend to seriously play him, so you can write for him whenever you like, but I thought we could start that strand of the storyline, too.

I have no plans as yet, but I'll check it. Don't wait for it though if you have something on your mind.

On the contrary! It's great people pick up those almost forgotten lines of action and characters! We could keep Raban as a common NPC for now, and if you - or even someone else - starts to write a lot for him and starts to feel for him, then we can assign him for that someone?

Sounds good.

Piosenniel? I guess if you're around here you can add Raban to the character's list. He's an old man belonging to Athanar's household, who doesn't have an eye and an ear and I believe has the lower half of one leg missing, too. He's an NPC.

That's if you can get him from me. Just kidding. It'd be more fun if Javan's tutor were played by someone other than myself. But it'll be good he's an NPC, so that if ever he has dialogue with any character, someone else can step in for him....

P.S. I still do plan to re-vamp that post of last night....nothing of the essence shall be changed, just grammatical errors, so you can go ahead and reply for Harreld whenever you like. Elempi.

So Flithaf is still at Scarburg? Not at Minas Tirith? Huh. Good to know.

Yes. And I just re-read that post and realize it is extraordinarily poorly written, so I'm going to go back and fix some of those fragment sentences sometime today. Gosh, that was bad. I must've been wiped out.

Hey, Elempi, did you know that Faramund is the next character to post in the conversation with Athanar and Faramund (with Thornden, too)?

Foley, it was hard to describe Harreld's mien properly, and I didn't altogether succeed. He is not meant to be in a rage that an innocent fears falling victim to; rather, he is tight of face, a fierce smoldering in the eyes which could be mistaken for anger, I suppose, but is directed inward; I suppose someone who doesn't know him might be cautious around him, though. Okay, I don't need you to change a thing.

K....about the situation with the lords...I'm going to sit a while and wait for Nogrod to post, because even though I would like to have Thornden interrupt at this point, he could hardly do so decently. Plus, I don't think it would do any good, as Athanar wouldn't just sit by and allow it.

Elempi, if you want, when you write again for Harreld, you could have Raban go off and get Javan and save time. Also, tell me if you think it's alright that Raban has been able to detect that inward strife of Harreld's.

No problem with Raban's perceptions.

I have other commitments tonight. Harreld will firmly refuse not helping clean up.

No rush. I was at class this evening and will be at work tomorrow, so I wouldn't be able to post for a while anyway.

Faramund has another door through which he leaves the room he's in. Thonden will wait as long as he wishes and then do whatever he likes. Writing this as a post on the main thread wouldn't really work, so I'm letting you know this way.

What! Are you avoiding play as much as Faramund? Goooood grief. Well, well, we'll see what can be done.

No. It just made sense to me not to post what Faramund was doing since the Scarburgers don't know.
