Tell you what, instead of "stuffy old scholar", make me the "local stuffy old astrologer".

Without Menel, that kind of drops us down a tad.

And now for a crazy idea:

If you really want the numbers up, maybe you'd be willing to mess around with a really obfuscatingly complicating situation, and have some of us play multiple characters. I'm sure I could be persuaded to have Falco Boffin be the resident Hobbit while my astrologer could be some guy named Elempí of Umbar. Of course, this idea could create way more problems than it solves, so maybe you might just want to forget it.

Edit: Of course, if Elempí is a werewolf and Falco Boffin is a seer, it could raise interesting problems now, couldn't it?

TORE - with Days/Nights starting at noon, missing Sundays won't be a problem.

Only little problems.

Maybe I'll go try to recruit some people... If we can't pick up any more, I'll probably drop the Cursed Villager.

Durelin - what's a dead-header?

Footie, you've never worked in a green house. Dead-heading is where you pop the dead or dying blooms off of plants to encourage new growth. I imagine that could be turned into the most fantastic death narrative...

Don't you ever remember playing "mama had a baby and her head popped off" with dandelions? Or was that a local thing?

Durelin · 07-20-2005, 09:43 AM

Hehe...dead-heading is something my grandmother does extensively, though only to her own garden.

I've worked in a greenhouse. When shipments of plants come in from suppliers, you've got hours of deadheading to look forward to to clean everything up. And petunias get sticky when it's hot out.

I see that everybody else but me have chosen their professions. Well, I'll be a landlady.

Meneltarmacil · 07-20-2005, 11:48 AM

Oh well, guess I'll play some other time. It seems I just have a very busy summer.

Yep, I used to do that... didn't know it had a name, though.

But you're right, that could be a really great death...
