Please do, Galadriel55! We'd love to have you!

Work this weekend quite busy, but I'll try to put at least a paragraph or two of dialogue up.

As far as I can tell the next "big thing" that needs to happen is that those who did their research need to make their reports... And I think there are still other "open assignments."

Galadriel55 · 03-27-2011, 09:33 AM

All right, then. I'll post some character description soon (I still haven't thought it out properly

)

Pitchwife · 03-27-2011, 10:48 AM

I'm ready to have Collie and Harry report, but I'm a little wonky about the chronology at the moment - I suppose our talk with Bergil would have been rather lengthy, and we probably didn't make it back to the inn before Cirdacil and his retinue left, so I'm just going to assume Dim's last post happened after that. That would mean Brinn and Asta are still in the courtyard, Branor and Therian haven't returned yet, and everybody else is inside, right?

And welcome aboard, G55!

Galadriel55 · 03-27-2011, 01:22 PM

Since it's a minor character, I didn't put too much information on. I think it would be enough, though.

NAME: Thiliel

AGE/GENDER/RACE/WHERE FROM: 14/female/Men/Lebennin

APPEARANCE: Straight black elbow-length hair, usually plaited. Grey dancing eyes. Rosy cheecks. Wears light dresses, which she often changes, usually light-blue or yellow in colour.

BITS OF CHARACTER/HISTORY YOU FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN DEFINING THE CHARACTER:
Ingold’s niece. Came to Minas Anor for Cormare. She is assisting her uncle in the inn during this time as well. Very talkative. Often stops working to have a chat with one person or another. Fascinated by stories. Likes to fantasize that she is one of the people in the stories.

PS: how much do we know about Ingold at the moment?

PPS: when will be the best moment for Thiliel to enter?

Mnemo, Coldan has given Brinn a brief digest, but you can tell him to report in full to Rollan in the common room if you want, he'll appreciate the chance to get a drink. I wasn't sure whether or not Brinn would be going to retire after such an eventful morning. Also, assume that Collie and Harry are still unaware that anything remarkable has transpired at the inn in their absence, somebody should bring them up to date.

G55, I take it Thiliel is not only visiting, but helping Ingold around the inn too, right? She looks nice to me, I suppose Sereth might like to have another teenager to socialize with (although as far as I remember, 12 and 14 is still a big difference at that age). As for Ingold, I suspect he may be the very man of that name who led the workers repairing the Rammas when Gandalf and Pippin came to Minas Tirith? If so, I guess he'd be a former mason or some such, possibly serving in the army at that time. Funny nobody's thought of asking him for his memoirs yet.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'll edit it into the bio.

So he's an old man now, if it's that Ingold. Don't worry about his memoirs - Thiliel will fix everything with her thirst for stories. "Uncle Ingold, can you please tel me one more of your stories from a long time ago?"

PS: if he's that old, maybe I should make Thiliel his granddaughter or something.

Pitchwife · 03-27-2011, 02:45 PM

Hm, Ingold wouldn't necessarily be that old - somewhere between fifty and sixty, I'd guess (although that probably still makes him an old man from Thiliel's perspective

); and if he had younger siblings, it wouldn't be at all extraordinary for him to have a 14 year old niece. In a large family, it's not unusual for the eldest and the youngest child to be ten years or more apart.

As for when to enter, it's up to you. Harrenon and Coldan will be thirsty, so you could take their orders once they've joined Amdír and Rollan in the common room. Or you could run into Sereth while she's stalking Sador to his room. Or, since it should be about noon by now, you could take a meal to Brinn who's staying with the wagons and can't walk to fetch herself one. Or whatever suits you best.

I'd say it depends a lot on the individuals and Sereth for one at least tries to act older than she is...

In other words, writing a post now.

...and Thiliel seems unable to grow up...
