Ah, so that's what Sador's up to! I was wondering whether he'd be conspiring with Amlach to entice Aldarion back to the Swan Players...
Sorry to foil his peacemaking efforts, Ang, but I think Aldarion and Coldan have to clear the air between them - at least in words if not by fists.
Also, I'm dying to find out how the whole triangle looks from Aldarion's POV; don't tell me he's got no inkling where Coldan's grudge comes from!

In other matters:
++Elanor involvement! Especially as we have somebody among us who's been known to write her very nicely - but then, Mnemo's juggling two characters already, so...??

And phantom, pity you didn't kill Thiliel! Imagine the headlines in the Minas Anor Morning Post: "Dol Amroth playwright wanted for murder - Lord Burlach dies from heart attack"! It would've been difficult to hide Aldarion from the guards during the show - perhaps if we'd recast him as Gollum the Orc and apply some heavy movie-style makeup? Coldan would have been the Judas, of course... Ah the mayhem!

[/kidding]

PS. - About the stabbing issue, academic question - would civilians actually be allowed to carry a loose sword within the city in times of peace (and in an inn's common room, of all places)? I'd suppose Aldarion would at least be required to keep it sort of peace-bonded, what do you think?

I think we've crossed Pitch, but it's no biggie. Branor's taken a stab at peace-making, but basically left and telling them if they insisted on this action, take it outside the City and resolve it, or don't bother coming back.

note Gloredhel is only his second most cherished ambition though...

Boro, I so love Branor now! First he kindles the whole quarrel, then he makes a grand pseudo-kingly speech and immediately afterwards runs away.

Noted. A most intriguing young man. Maybe we have another aspiring playwright among us who wants to replace Aldarion?

And welcome back, Dim! Yay!

Well rats, Ang. I was hoping our characters would be friends, but wow it looks really unlikely at this point. Of course Aldarion doesn't know that. We'll see what happens.

Anguirel · 04-12-2011, 02:28 PM

we've both slipped into casually calling poor old Coldan an Easterling, at least internally...

I reckon things'll turn out ok. How, you ask? Er, it's a mystery (cf, as ever, that great film Shakespeare in Love)

EDIT: oh by the way phantom, did you make up up the Swan Players? Or Mnemo? They sounded so cool I was convinced they were canon but couldn't find any reference...

You'd better not let him hear that! At least not a third time on the same day.

Writing now.

Anguirel · 04-12-2011, 02:48 PM

oh yeah and Inziladun, I had Cirdacil mention to Elanor that he was born in Pelargir because I do want Veandur to be his secret (great-, if necessary?) nephew (quite possibly unknown to V.); is that ok?

Well, he's stocky, has an accent, and has mentioned Rhun as home. Why wouldn't Aldarion think he was an Easterling, right? Or at least that's what I was thinking.

Erm.... I remember IMing quite a bit about it... I'm fairly certain Mnemo is the one that suggested a run-in with a rival troop from Dol Amroth going by the name "The Swan Players", and then after that I filled bits and pieces about them due to my character being a former member. At least I'm pretty sure that's what happened.
