Thanks for that great post, Mith! I loved the dialogue between Dim and Macaw. That and yet another fun song parody... *sobs* Grrralph isn't really dead, is he?

Diamond, Lush, Thena - are you still with us? Please give some kind of life-sign!

E's not dead. E's just resting...

Hi all. Hal is mid-draft, although it is likely to be a shorter one.

Ehm... best I can do at the moment. More later. I promise to try harder to be good. But Estelyn did not perceive that Diamond had her fingers crossed behind her back. And even had she done so, she would not have known their import.

No, really.... I haven't completely and entirely forgotten that I've got Vogie and Pimpi not to mention Manuel and Prada to tend to, though it seems I do tend to suppress the memory.

Are there some plans for how to introduce the Velour (beyond Yawanna)? I don't mean to the Itship, I mean in the game itself. As in, would a post with Manuël and Prada (Varda of course) interfer with what Mogul is doing? I don't know what would be the best time to bring them into the thread.

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-12-2005, 07:03 AM

"Prada" - great name! Sounds like a very fashion-conscious Vala - oops, Velou.

Plotwise, there will be an official 'hearing' of the Itship before the assembled Velour; however, you are welcome to write a post for them that introduces them as characters, gives an idea of their position in Valleyum, etc. All writers may do that with their Velour characters, but posts with the Itship characters discovering a strange new world are welcome as well.

Here is the Velour character list, by way of reminder:

Melvin/Môgul - Saucy
Yawanna - Esty
Haulie - Mith
Prada and Manuël - Diamond
Mantoes - (was to be Squatter, now NPC or up for grabs)
Tulk Hogan - (was to be BW, ditto above)
Tickle-Me-Ulmo - Thena
Hornme the Foxhunter - Kuru
? - Lush (?)

Additionally, we have more Velour that can be used as NPCs (non-player characters); perhaps we should come up with parody names for them so that they can be used by all.

Tolkien calls'em:

Irmo
Estë
Nienna
Nessa
Oromë
Vána
Vairë

Open for suggestions...

She lives!

Good to see you back, Diamond.

Not at all, provided that they don't encounter Môgul, destroy his army, reunify the rent Ent etc. I should also clarify that Yawanna will not be with the other Velour, as she is currently in the process of eloping with the Dread Developer.

Prada is a great name, Diamond. It goes rather well with Vogonwe's earlier invocation of her: Ellevoguereth Cosmopolitaniel!

Surely Estë should be Esty (and vice versa).

And Ungoliant is mine ... MUAHAHAHA!

Rimbaud · 01-12-2005, 10:52 AM

Wanna, as in "I wanna", and Nessie, as in Loch, seem suitably Velourous.

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-12-2005, 12:01 PM

I'm enjoying the various name suggestions! Here are the ones that occurred to me in the meantime:

Estë-Lynn (no need to guess for the inspiration there...)
Vairsacë (in keeping with Diamond's fashion theme)
Chanessa (ditto)
Nír-Vana (Valleyum New - um, Third - Agey)

Keep those cards and letters coming, folks! Nothing is definite yet.
