The King's Players - Discussion/Planning Thread

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.

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?

OK, Boro, I'll forward your apology to Coldan if I run into him.
Don't pity him too much though; the way he's started to behave lately, he may fight back.

Question to phantom re this:

Lest Coldan make further false accusations against Aldarion: did this change happen before or after Aldarion's involvement with the script, and is it connected with the Boromir-Mary-romance or not (in other words, was the romance a change by Aldarion or not)?

Since Aldarion's heading for the Fifth Circle, I changed it. Let me know if anything else should be altered.

It's fine to attribute the romance (and therefore slight increase in Mary's part) to Aldarion, as his thinking would be, "Well okay, there's a pretty elf-woman in this fellowship along with the top general/prince of Gondor. May as well add a romance." What Aldarion would take issue with is that it was ever his idea to have "Mary" in the first place. (He took what he was given and imposed a bit of his personality on it.)

As far as decreasing Eowyn's role, perhaps Aldarion, though he doesn't like Therian's attitude towards women, disagrees with the way Brinn chooses to punish Therian (by giving him female roles), as it negatively impacts the play as a whole in Aldarion's opinion. Thus I can imagine Aldarion attempting to decrease the time Lady-Therian is on the stage.

Inzil- Aldarion's father isn't dead, he's just back in Dol Amroth. (If it was a misunderstanding from that last post, it was his friend Cirion that died.)

[Mnemosyne]

Thanks for keeping the game rolling during my absence, all. This weekend has turned me into a zombie.

Anyone know where I can find some fresh brains? Or even slightly rancid ones would be okay at this point...

Doh! Fixed now.

Thanks for the clarification, phantom - although I think you'll understand Coldan doesn't think Aldarion's motives are quite as innocent.

Boro, if Branor needs motivation beyond stirring up trouble, I just remembered that Coldan is still officially cast as Sam. Since the role has become a deal more prestigious with our new knowledge, someone else could covet it - obviously not Branor himself, but what about Therian?

And the 'poor chap' is getting quite out of hand. Suppose his kettle's been boiling so long, it's about to explode. Post upcoming.
