Okies.. I must admit I got a bit intrigued about his fancy vest until I remembered it was a weskit...

Edit.
Oh dear I have made them seem a bit mean to him. They will be nice when they meet , promise... or I could edit. But I find a beer spattered hobbit too inherently funny. Though it is a sad waste of beer. Also I wrote the first hald yesterday and was too sleepy to finish, then had to adapt to the intervening posts.. can't turn your back for a moment now.

Don't worry about it. I had a good laugh myself when I wrote the post, and even more when I read what Elin thought of him!

He's such an adorable little jerk, isn't he?

About what time of day is it - anyone care to hazard a guess? I had Tolly have bowl of beans and ham thinking it might be somewhere around lunchtime.

?????

I asked before I brought in Elin and in post 920 , Foley reckoned it was after 10 maybe time for elevenses early lunch. However Hamwill and Al had their spat and Iris and Rowan their heart to heart before my pair made their entrance and since then they have had second breakfast /elevenses and the meal has been prepared. So I think you are fine. Can't be much before noon at the earliest and I don't suppose that hobbits who have been up early and working hard go in for late lunches (unless it is a second helping)!

Undómë · 03-12-2011, 09:25 AM

I officially declared it lunchtime in my post

pio

I placed Penny in the common room clearing a table at the moment. Let me know if I need to change anything

Gonna pop in with a new character since I have some time this week...I'll post on the Inn thread shortly. I am not going to try to figure out where everyone is so I apologize for being purposefully vague and if I make any glaring mistakes! Also hope the bio is okay... >_> Edit: Leaving it up to Pio and Undome which one of your Hobbit serving maids Reginald is addressing...or he could be addressing someone he thinks is a serving maid but really isn't....

Name: Reginald Smyth
Age: Late 20s
Race: Man of Bree
Gender: Male

Weapons: A good hunting knife

Appearance: Of fairly average height (about 5’6” or 7”), solid build, reddish-blonde hair kept short. Light on the facial hair, making him look maybe younger than he is. Brown eyes. He has creases at his eyes from laughter and squinting. Squints pretty often as he hasn’t the best eye sight. He has a handsome grin. He wears a light linen shirt (sometimes with a dark blue vest), dark grey pants, and dark brown boots. He has a brown cloak and a satchel.

Personality: When it comes to the rule of ‘fight or flight,’ Reginald will pretty much always choose flight. Who knows how well he might stand in an actual fight, but Reginald avoids confrontation and responsibility. He has his share of guilt, which usually encourages his flight rather than makes him stay. He is a well-tempered man; it takes a lot to anger him, and then his anger is usually expressed in more passive ways. He shuts down, rather than lashes out. He loves a good laugh, a good joke. He’s a light-weight of a drinker. Give him a drink or two and he’ll be talking and giggling for the rest of the night.

History: Reginald has recently started on a journey. So far he has only had the courage to travel into Shire lands rather than far to the east and south into the great lands such as Rohan and Gondor. His reason for journeying is fleeing from disgrace. He married on the cusp of 20 or so, at his parent’s bidding. After over 5 years of a barren marriage, his parents also convinced him to put aside his wife – something which, even if he had a firm enough backbone to refuse and endure his parents’ disapproval, he did not entirely object to because he had not been pleased with the marriage in the first place. Once separated, he managed to stall for a time a second marriage, only for his former wife to remarry and very quickly have a child with her new husband.

Granny Greenhill has come for a visit to the Perch. Can someone give her an assist with the danged door, please?

Folwren · 03-20-2011, 06:19 PM

Okay, I was mistaken. I can't post now. Later, folks.

Folwren · 04-27-2011, 10:03 AM

Geez, that little stuck-up Al is really getting on my nerves.

He's great, though, if only because he's such an irratating hobbit. I think what bugged me most was Elin trying to appease him. Elin's too sweet to be bullied by Al's over-sized ego. I'm loving it.

I'm excited you all are writing. Sorry I haven't been participating much. I am keeping an eye on things, though, as you might guess from this post.
