And I promise as soon as the Éowyn business is settled somehow, Collie will shut up and stop interfering.

By the way, Nerwen - I don't know your thoughts about the Coldan-Asta-plotline, and I'm content to let you surprise me, but just to avoid misunderstandings, I'm not sure it needs to be fully resolved at all, nor necessarily by a romantic happy end. (Just saying, I don't think you really need me to tell you that.) Let's just find out what happens.

Indeed. I think she might be somewhat mollified by the Eowyn offer, though.

I want Aldarion to be told so that he can start some sort of conflict with Coldan (shout at him, or embarrass him in front of Asta, or threaten him or something), because Aldarion will be ticked when he is credited for screwing up a drama that he wasn't the writer of, especially since (as he has expressed) he thinks it is suicide to perform such a recent drama. As far as making it logical to report the words to Aldarion- perhaps if someone wishes for Coldan's part to be diminished in favor of their part or something maybe? I don't care what the motive is.

I'd volunteer Asta herself, but it seems to me this will work better dramatically if she's started to forgive Coldan at this point.

As for the others– well, I doubt any of them would be desperate to take over his role, since he only he only plays bit parts, and anyway I think there's quite enough intriguing going on at the moment. However, I can imagine Therian or Branor saying it to make trouble.

Fea? Boro?

Aldarion's up in the third circle now and will soon be making a quick trip up to the fifth level before returning to the inn.

I wasn't planning on detailing his interactions as they happened (the conversations that take place within the house), but rather I planned to give a report to Brinn upon my return, so don't worry about interrupting my storyline. You are welcome to go ahead and have your character bump into Aldarion as he is on his way up to the fifth circle.

I'm sure Bran and Therian can stir up some trouble if Aldarion is looking to steam off. That appears to be their specialty which has me wondering, how can anyone stand those two?

I'd rather it not be Therian who does it. He's a bit self absorbed, but the only trouble he makes on purpose is with/at Branor, and pretty much only because that's fun.

Well, then, how about it, Boro? There's some fine opportunities for melodrama there!

When Aldarion's back, it shall be done.

Sorry Coldan, poor chap.

I'll be moving Aldarion to his next stop during my late lunch. Inzil- if you wish to bump into him get it done before late tonight or tomorrow afternoon, as that's when I'm going to have him back at the inn.

[the phantom]

Heh- x-post, Inzil. So, your character is in the third circle then? If you wish to go ahead and get him a bit closer to the fourth level gate (the house I'm leaving is near it) I can have Aldarion bump into you or something.

EDIT: never mind, Aldarion's on the fourth level already, you want to meet him there?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I've been lurking, if not participating. Most of my 'writing' has been telling B88 what, if anything, to include for Therian. I had a course description due yesterday and I have a copy of my entire Master's thesis due tomorrow, hence my inactivity. I should be around more after tomorrow.

Anyway, Therian is unhappy and I've written that up as a method by which to disguise my inactivity. He's trying to be unnoticed so he won't get canned thanks to Branor, and I don't have to fuss with him every few minutes. See y'all soon!

[Galadriel55]

Isn't it Coldan who suggested the switch, not Branor?

Poor guy! Now he has an angry Therain on him as well!

I'll try to post soonish. I think I'll send Thiliel off to her room for a while so that she won't add to the mess.
