Heh. I'm sure she knows Cyrano ten times better than me, since I'm just vaguely familiar, versus she seems quite excited.

Call me when you want to talk about Neil Gaiman. I'm more of a contemporary kinda girl.

Augh. I wish there were time for a Stardust-shaped break in my work.

Nog, I left an opening for Athanar to start pondering the situation we discussed. Not sure when you'll want to activate Plan Awesome, but there's now a solid reason for his mind to head in that direction.

Fea: I used it, partly... we're going into that direction...


Heh, the next question becomes that if Athanar manages to show his qualities with the local lords and is looking for a transfer into a better place, would the Mead Hallers actually want him to stay or leave - or could he himself fall in love with the place & people and not wish to leave?

Okay, we have time to play this and no one needs to make her/his character any more easy because of that thought.

Let's see how it goes.

I am amazed and thrilled to see so many posts both here and on the gamethread! You guys are AMAZING!

I posted...I know it is an extraordinarily lame post, but you must forgive me - I am unexpectedly sick and I am not thinking very well nor very creatively. But I didn't want to hold things up.

So, I provided fuel to the fires of The Nobles Conversation and the conversation amongst Lithor, Crabannan, and Thornden.

EDIT: Groin, I just read Girth's bio. He sounds wonderful. If Javan ever turns into an outcast again (not that he was ever QUITE an outcast, but you know) then I think I'll have him stumble across Girth.....

You're too modest Foley!

Those were good entries moving both situations forwards and enabling a number of reactions. Excellent!


PS. Lommy, I will make the corrections you suggested...

There's the post, Mnemo and I wrote it together (and as you can see, Mnemo wrote most of it since her character was kind of having monologues... ).

Wonderful post Mnemo & Lommy!

I loved this especially!
Quote:
If you truly think that Athanar and I will do nothing in defense of this treachery and treason, then you have forgotten--we both of us grew up and lived--and survived--under the court of Grima Wormtongue. I assure you, compared to those dark years, these intrigues are child's play.
Soo true!


Do you people have lots in mind for this day to continue? If you do please go forwards. But if not, I might be happy to change the day in a few days (RL). I think we need to have a few posts... like the boys addressing their father, maybe something on Thornden / Lithor / Crabannan, maybe Degas saying something... any reactions from the others?

Also I kind of suggest that we make a little hearing the next day where at least Lithor, W & W, Thornden, Coen - and maybe Saeryn, Degas & Wynflaed would be attending. And if Wynflaed knows Javan is the culprit, then him as well - or he could be fetched in if that thing would be revealed during the discussion.

Then lord Athanar would call his verdict...

Should that be before the soldiers have their excercises or after that?

What do you think about the plan in general?

Don't forget Coen replying to Hilderinc (and maybe again a reply back).

But yes, otherwise - as for me, the plan's okay.

So does Lithor! Fortunately, I suppressed all my urges to do a monologue in my post that I just put up. It is kind of BLAH! but it moves things along. Let me know Mnemo if it was alright that I had Wynflaed join Thornden. You post with Lommy was fun! However, I do believe that it could have ended better if there was some show of violence on Wynflaed's part.

I like the plan, Nogrod. I like the way things are moving.

Now, now, Groin, a lady of the Eorlingas does not strike her own brood, even when they deserve it...

But it's okay that you had Wynflaed join this group. She'll probably just observe for the time being.
