I've written my first post. I was thinking one or any number of your characters can dialog with the old gal.

Folwren · 10-16-2006, 05:54 PM

I just realized that in my character bio I have no history. Sometime I'm going to add that to it. Not tonight.

I am back, but I am not feeling my greatest. Tomorrow is the soonest I'll have any new writing up, but if it turns out that I do actually have some sort of vexing illness (a cold or sore throat, blah), then I can't promise anything. I'm so sorry to add myself to the list of people 'not quite able to put up my first post'. Be that as it may, I can't really help it. I will try hard, though.

I will be able to finish my bio and my first post by October 28!

Fea is having serious doubts about being able to play Uldor with full commitment. Uldor is a lynchpin of a part and if possible, pio, it would be brilliant if you could find a replacement.

We also need to find a Brodda...

APPEARANCE: 1.69 meters high, have broad shoulders and his back is a bit crooked. He has a small face, brown eyes and thick hair that is black as coal.

Rune Son of Bjarne's post

Erling’s hair flowed in the wind as he and his hunting companions walked home from their successful hunt.

They were quiet as they walked along. Not an awkward silence at all. It was just that they did not need to talk much; they never did. There them, which enabled them to enjoy socializing in silence as much as if they were merrily drinking and singing together.

For Erling there was nothing as good at these kinds of hunts, they left him with a splendid feeling of happiness. Not even the feeling of accomplishment after a successful harvest could satisfy Erling as much.

The small company approached their destination point, a nice little house, Grimr’s home. Erling knew from previous experiences that it was a friendly house, a bit too noisy and lively, but cozy and friendly. As they drew nearer to the house Erling for some reason started to pick up pace, as if the hunt had made him long for such homely coziness.

As they stood at the front of the house, a fair bit of movement could be heard through the door. “By the sound of it, our arrival has not gone unnoticed,” Erling said with a smile upon his lips. It was impossible to tell whether Grimr had heard him or not. For in two steps Grimr had opened the door and gone in.

“Let the young fellows take care of our prizes, Erling! Come and have a cup of ale with us!” came Grimr’s call to him from within the house. After leaving his share of the hunting “spoils” with the twins, Erling went in. He greeted Granny with a smile and a deep bow and took the large cup of ale offered him.

Ok I'm back, I'm no longer busy (for all of a week) and I will get a post up within the next couple of days.

Celuien · 10-26-2006, 02:44 PM

Just checking in to say that my first post will be in shortly (as in by tomorrow evening).

Kath · 10-26-2006, 05:30 PM

Okay I've put my first post up but I just want to check a couple of things. First I used the word "ma'am". Can I have that or should I use something else?

Second, will the Ulfings and everyone else know about the call to war by the time we're placing these posts? I was going to have Bergr overhear a discussion about it but thought I'd better ask first.
