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.

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.

Oooooo, threatening! Collie's getting desperate!

Love it!

Edit: I think I'll wait until Collie and Aldarion yell each other out before I'll tell them to go to Brinn. Otherwise, I see a neverending quarrel that will never reach any concusion.

I am up to my eyeballs in work, and despite that, Really Really Would Not Mind Writing Elanor, because this is, essentially, what I do. But I would honestly prefer it if someone else took her first, because 1). I already have two characters, 2). I do not wish to be a Railroadress, and 3). I would already know exactly what Elanor would be doing. Which would be something in between "charming" and "attempting to take over the entire production."

I will not be up to my eyeballs in work come this time tomorrow; however, I will be on the road from Thursday through Saturday. Hopefully the hotel will have wireless, because I'm planning on bringing my laptop.

Once this argument clears up (and maybe there's some Brinn conferencing), I'd like to move things to the next morning, if that's fine by everyone else... If no one's claimed Elanor by that point, I'll have her wander into the inn by then and start being sweetly overly helpful.

Would you be able to do one of those conferences with Branor sometime tonight? It doesn't have to be anything elaborate, but just give Bran the chance to get some boasting and griping off his chest and perhaps Brinn the chance to confront him over his problem-causing if she sees fit.

Asking now because I can write as much as needed today and tomorrow, but Friday around 8am until late Sunday I'm going to be in DC. This is a good thing though, that I'm desperately looking forward to, reading for the National tournament and I've been placed to read in Mount Vernon! Score!

Sounds like a good idea. This has been another interminable Day so far.

As for the argument, it looks like it's going to be settled by a higher power

. Love it, Nerwen - pure rock'n'roll!

Boro, I, too, would like to get this done sooner rather than later. If you can get a post up sometime this afternoon, I'll respond in the evening.

Also,

Thanks. The first part of that post gave me a surprising amount of trouble: it's really quite hard to write a character complaining that other people aren't puppet-like enough without it sounding really, really evil.
