Right then.

So.

What is on the agenda for court this day?

1. Scyld/Nydfara
2. Wilheard?
3. Other?

Firefoot · 10-25-2015, 08:43 PM

Yes, I think Cerwyn (and by extension Leof...) will end up being part of this court as well.

Folwren · 10-26-2015, 06:16 AM

Sounds exciting! Poor Wilheard is still sick.

Folwren · 10-27-2015, 07:14 AM

Sometime today can I go ahead and post about getting ready for the court and pretty much bring us straight up to it?

Firefoot · 10-27-2015, 07:53 AM

Fine by me. My next post for Cerwyn will bring them to the Hall so the timelines should line up nicely.

Mithalwen · 10-27-2015, 12:59 PM

So do we play out the court in full with lots of short posts or...?

Folwren · 10-27-2015, 08:21 PM

I skipped ahead quite a few hours. If anyone wants to add something that goes in the time that I had pass, I'm ok with it. I just wanted to get the ball rolling.

Also, I don't know how anyone thinks that court ought to be set up. I thought of a few different ways and went with what I thought best. If someone would like to suggest a different way, I'm open. Elempi, I imagine you had some ideas about how it would look, too.

Firefoot · 10-27-2015, 09:15 PM

I'll deal with Leof and Cerwyn's meeting in another post... it's getting late for me. No need to worry about waiting for them though, they might just miss the first part of court.

G55, I put some words in Balan's mouth just to get them to the Hall - if you'd rather he phrased it differently, let me know.

littlemanpoet · 10-28-2015, 07:53 PM

Looks good to me, Foley.

littlemanpoet · 10-30-2015, 08:56 PM

That was a fun read, Firefoot!

Nice interplay.

Folwren · 10-30-2015, 09:13 PM

Oh, I am SO excited.

Firefoot · 10-30-2015, 09:40 PM

Thanks, guys.

Firefoot · 11-03-2015, 11:13 AM

Soo... anything we're waiting on?

Folwren · 11-03-2015, 04:15 PM

Inspiration? I've been trying to think of a post to write for three days now and have come up with nothing. Things have been really hectic for me, though, and that may have something to do with my lack of creativity. I will do my best to think of something tonight.

Mithalwen · 11-03-2015, 05:47 PM

Sorry I lost a post for Elfthain and haven't got around to reposting. I will try to do now if I can stay awake,

Folwren · 11-03-2015, 08:11 PM

Marvelous. Glad you posted, Mith, it gave me some stuff to use. I think we can progress with the court now.

Galadriel55 · 11-03-2015, 08:59 PM

I've been waiting for a miracle that would let me dedicate at least half a page of writing to this instead of my biology assignments...

I know what I'll write, at least partially, but as I have a week to do my assignments they have been sucking up all the writing I can do in a day... I keep thinking next week should be easier, but each week they give something new and it starts again...

But I shouldn't hold up the main story. I was planning for Balan to only come forwards at the end of court, and Ledwyn might not show her face at all - or perhaps only in the background.

littlemanpoet · 11-04-2015, 05:31 AM

It appears I have something for Eodwine to respond to.

Whoever wants to be number one, speak up or start writing. If no-one does so in the next day or so, Eodwine will just go ahead and decide who's number one.

Mithalwen · 11-04-2015, 02:28 PM

Well I am around but I wouldn't think Elfthain's business would be so important to be up first? However I suppose if Thornden is presenting him then being first would free Thornden to do what he would normally do at court. Would records be kept? Anyway he is at your disposal.

Firefoot · 11-04-2015, 09:49 PM

Fine with me if Elfthain goes first.

Galadriel55 · 11-05-2015, 06:57 AM

If no one wants to go first, we could have an NPC, or a couple unnamed characters even, briefly mentioned at the beginning to indicate that whoever is going next was not the first.
