You're ahead of me there - I thought more like late morning to early noonish, depending on how long it took us to reach Hallas' place. I can make short work of the actual loading, but I insist on that fine lunch you promised me (even if I have to write it myself

).

Thanks, will do so.

EDIT: Sorry for my present attack of posting sluggishness. Had something in the writing a little earlier, but was interrupted and can't get back into the flow now. I'll do my best to finish & post it tomorrow.

I'm about halfway through Brinn's conversation with Elanor, and will be ready to post it sometime tomorrow. So this is a "speak now or forever hold your peace" (or just write a flashback later

) for Asta and Thiliel.

For those who are still timeline-obsessed, the conversation's going to take place from 10:00 till about... 11:30? Elanor will provide great amounts of research material, but if she manages to weasel her way into the production too much, I have a feeling she'll be a bit of a nuisance.

Also, I'm open for PM conversations if anyone's raring to plan something for later in the evening. Brinn still needs to speak with Coldan, and probably Asta once she figures out all of what happened the previous night, and then there's all of the technical work she has to do as well.

Nerwen · 04-30-2011, 07:10 AM

My apologies at taking so long to fill in that save for Asta, but I've had a difficult week.

Anyway I think we can move on– just assume Asta told Elanor a whole lot more of the Players' garbled concepts.

Galadriel55 · 04-30-2011, 08:03 AM

Your post was hilarious, Nerwen! It was worth the wait!

Mnemo, I thought that fifteen minutes is an ok time to eat a breakfast without hurry. I can change that if you want. And tell me if I need to change something with Brinn and Elanor.

?

As for the evening, maybe some storytelling from Ingold? It's just an idea; this won't change anything, since the Players already have most of the information. Possibly he can give his memories of Gandalf and Pippin coming to Gondor. Otherwise, nothing really new. This could (and should) be discarded if there's a better plan.

Pitchwife · 04-30-2011, 05:12 PM

And that's the last of these oversized posts for now and the foreseeable future. (I hope.)

Formy, I'm afraid I may have overstepped the bounds a bit by doing so much ventriloquy with Amdír in my zeal to move the story on in your absence. If that is so, please don't hesitate to tell me. And as always, if I need to change anything (e.g. Amdír's war memories, which I made up as best I could from what information I had but which you may imagine quite differently) just say so (or better yet, PM me any revisions you'd like me to make and I'll edit them in).

Unless you have anything in mind for our way back, I think we could just cut to Coldan's and Amdír's arrival at the inn, and Coldan will be at Brinn's disposal when she wants him.

Mnemo, lovely dialogue between Brinn and Elanor (but what did I expect)!
As for Elanor becoming a bit of a nuisance, let her! An(other) outsider trying to meddle with the production might be just what our crew need to rally together, or what do you think?

And Nerwen, thumbs up for "Ah... that dragon"

. Whatever happens, we can't write good old Smaug out of the play, can we?

Okay, Anguirel- whenever it's time have Sador or a servant come to get Aldarion at the house of Bregolas in order to guide Aldarion to... you know- our special event.

I will have Aldarion reflect on his afternoon while in the presence of Sador or his servant in order to demonstrate the difference between what he's thinking and how he's acting.

Anguirel · 05-03-2011, 03:54 AM

right, cool. I just want to write one more post with Sador and Harrenon in it and (re-)introduce a couple of noble ladies

Then you will be picked up, by neither Sador nor a servant...

As some of you probably already know from Facebook, my timing in getting engaged has coincided closely with my Mom's cancer taking a decisive turn for the worse, and I am heading post-haste to Canada very early tomorrow, so I am likely to be out of it as a RPer with any focus for at least a week (until further notice, really). If Pitch can carry Amdír back to Minas Anor, that would be fine--you've done well with him so far, Pitch. Once back, Amdír can sit in the shadows until I am "back."
