I'm really sorry my life has been taking over the world with finishing up classes and such. I'll try and come up to speed this afternoon some time.

Groin, I don't know if your rep was meant to nudge me...but I thought it might be appropriate to tell you that I've been busy the past two days working on an essay and that's why I haven't written. Tonight is my last final, though, so this evening, after the final, I will probably post. Yippee!

Yes, I want to see more of your writing!

Sounds good Foley. I was not trying to nudge you, I just had the opportunity and I took it. Looking forward to your post.

Groin, I've answered...maybe it's lame, but I can't figure out a better reply at this point in time.

Lommy, I've snagged your character Modtryth, hope you'll be around soon to answer Saeryn and help, maybe.

Poor Saeryn! My baby's all grown up and having morning sickness!

Foley, I love watching you write her. I really do. Poor girl. I do not envy her this pregnancy.

Yes, I'm finally here and I'll try to write for Modtryth today yet.

And I really really do pity my characters... haha just wait for the day they make up a terrorist league of wronged people with their sister...

Not lame, clarified. Lithor has turned into a pessimist on this subject. I replied.

Given the insanity that is the Christmas holidays--I'm off school since Monday, and back at home with family--I should probably just make note of the fact that I'm not likely to be around much, and certainly not once Bostonmoot gets underway. So while Náin presumably didn't scamper off after last Night's events, he may be keeping a low profile. Mention he's around, if you like, but don't expect much interaction.

He can be absorbed in some task of masonry or sculpture, if need be.

Ahh... the Bostonmoot... *rips the nearest object in pieces in jealousy*

Well, hopefully we can get this bunch of posts that have been under PM-works the last week published before that so that we can have a new situation then.


To those not knowing about the situation; at least the posts concerning the hearing & verdict of Javan and the post concerning the Lithor-case are under construction. You will drop your jaws, let me assure you! But from what, that I will not tell you as yet...

I'll try to post shortly on the thread as well before going to sleep so that we can nudge the thing forwards a bit to make things ready for the hearings.

But keep on posting anyone not concerned with these "trials" as well so as to keep the place alive.

Oh, believe it or not, me and Greenie have quite convinced ourselves that although it would be cool to be there, we wouldn't really enjoy it so much after all and besides, we're probably going to have even more fun on our tour of USA if we ever get to make it!

Folwren, I have replied. Feel free to continue chatting - or if someone wants to approach an ill-looking Saeryn and her half-Dunlending pregnancy-confidante that could be interesting too... Just whoever wants to continue next can do so. Just make Cnebba bring the tea quickly, I don't want him to upset his mum.

Fea - would you like Rowenna to be the "other woman" in Loslote's post taking place in the kitchen? Since Kath and Lhuna aren't around, it is more or less the only option if we don't want to leave Lilige's question hanging in the air, which would be a shame.

Heh, "Sour!, said a fox of the rowanberries." - like the Finnish proverb has it...

But yes, beware USA, we might actually really come and haunt you the next June!

I surmised that she was, and intended to post, but I'm half crazy already with the amount of stuff I have to get done before Christmas/Bostonmoot. Seriously, eight days is not enough.

So I hereby grant permission for Rowenna to be used judiciously whilst I try to get my spastic life under some semblance of control. Basic tenets: while she's very opinionated on what's going on in the 'new' mead hall, she wouldn't say anything about it. She'll be helpful and cordial, but also a bit distant, since she doesn't really count herself as one of them. If anybody makes demands of her that aren't appropriate to make of a guest (since she's now a guest, not a member of the household), she'll be highly displeased at the lack of propriety being displayed.

Have at it, and just assume you're not going to see much of me for the next three weeks. If you need me, shoot me a PM or IM/e-mail me.

Foley and Nog, when Athanar puts forth his idea, feel free to write in Degas. He'll be delighted by the solution, though he'll obviously want to ascertain the extent of the situation, and get details and everything. He's thorough. But he'll be pleased.

See you when life stops being so hectic!

You could also bring the "nobility" into the table with Athanar - if Fea is not, as she says, around.

We could have the short talk between them to then kick the story rolling with the hearings... and then into the uncharted territory where anything could happen...

Wynflaed's awake... Lottie, if you want Lilige to come over and do her hair that's fine (you can handle the whole post); if not we'll just assume it's happened once she's out and about.

Nog, Lommy, if you could let me know when your PM boxes are free for another message that'd be great.

Heh, I thought I posted here that I have room in my PM-box already yesterday evening. But it looks like I didn't (too much work... ).

Javan's hearing is almost ready and Lithor's is... well getting ready (it will be a short novel - at least what comes to the length of it ).

Since I caught strep and had to postpone my own Boston travels, I'll be around with little to do until Wednesday.

So Degas and Rowenna are available for now, and Degas has shared his thoughts with the group. And revealed that he uses ladies' lotion to soften his hands.

Okay. The hearings are about to begin. I'll post Javan's hearing in the evening (12 hours or something from now). Meanwhile feel free to post.

Good to know. Please do everyone complain if I'm pushing things forwards too fast. That should be avoided so that everyone could enjoy writing while the story is hopefully not left to stall either.
