Ang & Child: I hope it sounds reasonable enough to you as I have said in my post that the Borrim hunter-party had been to see Ulfang the first day they had come in to the town to introduce themselves to the local lord. I think that sounds plausible...

Child of the 7th Age · 01-24-2007, 12:45 AM

Sounds good, Nogrod.

Save filled. Lalaith - you're up next.

Folwren · 01-24-2007, 01:39 PM

Sheesh, Durelin, I tell you - I do wish Jord had said some of her things out loud. I would have had perfect answers for them. But that's okay. I have ideas already spinning in my mind.

How much longer do you want to go with these two together? I need to get Uldor back eventually to get Ulfast's note about the banquet.

Durelin · 01-24-2007, 10:06 PM

Sorry if it is at all frustrating, I'm really winging it with this character...and I have way too many ideas in my head.

I can't see her as being too chatty, though.

We can wrap it up whenever you'd like...I guess the goal became just Thuringy (odd, but I'll go with it) being nasty and "putting things" into Uldor's head... I don't know how successful I was in conveying that at all, but... If you wanted to accomplish something else/more, I'll get my butt in gear so we can finish up.

Anyway, if you find a nice way to have Uldor end it, by all means go ahead. Otherwise I can have Thuringy end it in my next post (or the post after that...whatever; whenever you want to move on is fine).

And really the goal was just to have some fun being nasssty evil characters, right? How are you liking it?

(Sorry if I'm completely incoherent...it's late...)

Folwren · 01-25-2007, 10:08 AM

How am I liking playing an evil character? It’s interesting. Interesting because it’s difficult. Uldor repulses me. I hate him. He is disgusting and vile and his very thinking is sickening. ‘Do what it takes, cost what it will, kill who needs to be killed, I will have power. And when I have power? I do what ever I jolly well please. No more of this faked goodness, no more morals...I am very excited, but I can wait.'

It’s also difficult to play opposite your character, because I find Jord equally evil and vile (oh wow, do you notice? Vile is Evil with it’s ‘E’ moved to the end!). See, if I had a good, honorable man instead of Uldor, I’d have him say some stuff and get out of her clutches. But with Uldor, I can’t, because he’s likely to be attracted to such harlotrous woman. She's so flattering when she speaks it's sickening. Have you ever eaten something so sweet that your stomach turns? That's what I feel Uldor should feel like, but then I realize...no...he's evil.

Anyhow, I’ll get them separated. If you don’t mind, I’m going to twist that smile of hers and make it rather beautiful, trying to draw him in. I don’t know if you wanted the smile to try to make him like her, or if the smile was supposed to be mocking or what, but it’ll be seductive. No fears, my dear moderators, he won’t fall. He can’t afford to get mixed up even with the most beautiful of ladies. Besides, I can’t afford to write such stuff.

Durelin · 01-25-2007, 02:23 PM

I love playing characters that are so incredibly different from me.

At least, I don't think I'm an evil maia...or at least not a maia...

As for the smile, I'd say seductive is what it is (far from "beautiful," though, in my opinion)...but I'm sure she finds it hilarious for him to think she really wants him.

And I think Uldor can feel that vile sickly-sweetness...it's just other "feelings" will be more of interest to him, perhaps. Or maybe he'll even like that feeling.

Pshaw, Uldor? Uldor can do whatever he wants.

He may have been "banished," but I don't think it was very long before he was allowed to come running back. And I'm sure he feels he can risk "banishment" again. But...that's just me thinking evilly. And don't worry, I want to avoid the x-rated stuff, too...though so does Thuringwethil.

Yeah, Uldor. He can't afford it just now, seriously. I think that in his inner most mind he know that things are about to get hot. He can't fall short of his father's affection and trust right at this most crucial moment.

Besides that, he doesn't want to get entangled with someone that he thinks might have higher connections with Morgoth!

So, we're good, and your character is safe from my moron.

SAVE filled. Sorry, Child, does Khandr have a beard, I just checked and in your description it doesn't say and I just realised I gave him one. I'll edit it to something else if you want to keep him clean-shaven!

Child of the 7th Age · 01-25-2007, 02:46 PM

Hah....that sneaky character. He obviously grew a beard when I wasn't looking! Seriously, though, it's fine. Your post looks great. I had a note from Kath, and she is hoping to post Bergr's arrival sometime this week.

Lalaith · 01-25-2007, 02:47 PM

It's funny, in my mind's eye he had a beard - mostly pepper with a bit of salt. Odd how these things work....

Folwren · 02-02-2007, 09:05 PM

My save is filled. Durelin, let me know if I did alright.

It is so tough playing this character!! Augh! I can't help but be possitively repulsed by Jord, but how on earth am I supposed to logically make Uldor also repulsed? Anyhow, as you may tell, even though he got out of it this time, he's still thinking about her....

-- Folwren

Durelin · 02-03-2007, 03:28 PM

Your post is awesome! Sooooo awesome! I love it...that second paragraph especially...and the third, too...okay, so all of it...amazing!

Child of the 7th Age · 02-03-2007, 04:33 PM

If none of the Borrim object, I'll do a generic narrative post to get us through the actual meal and then start the conversation afterwards where Khandr makes his request for help in spying....

I'll put up a save now but won't fill it till late Sunday or Monday. So if any member of the Borrim has something else they want to do first, just give the word and I'll hold off on this.

Nogrod · 02-03-2007, 04:36 PM

Go ahead with it Child.

At the moment I don't see how my character might help but coming up with some wild stories from my own mind... So I think it better you stage the situation and we'll respond then.

Child of the 7th Age · 02-08-2007, 12:53 AM

Save filled.

The Borrim have their "assignments". I've thrown the floor open for discussion.... So far there are no elves in sight.
