I'll amend that to say - Now is the Elf 'Undun' "It's too late She's gone too far She's lost the sun She's come undone She didn't know what she was headed for And when I found what she was headed for It was too late She's come undone She found a mountain that was far too high And when she found out she couldn't fly Mama, it was too late It's too late She's gone too far She's lost the sun She's come undone" -- The Guess Who, 'Undun'

I edited the post to make it Daisy who dances up to Mithadan, and not you. What are you doing, Mz. Sneaky? Taking a page from Pio's book of plot twists?! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Child- all of those changes are great! I can't wait for everyone to see.

Yo, Pio! So the elf will be crooning, "These eyes have seen a lotta love but they're never gonna see another like the one I had with ..."
Ahem. *clears throat* He's not dead quite yet. You rushing things? The story is playing out really well. I've been lurking so I wouldn't intrude on all the logistics. I'm glad you're back online, Sharon.

Yeah, all you have right now is a swooning husband. Of course, Tuor and Idril might decide to take him to a very good Valinor critical care unit, which means that you would have to go with him!
Ain't it a ***** when the hubby decides to relocate? |

These eyes are crying these eyes have seen a lot of love but their never gonna see another one like I had with you These eyes cry every night for you these arms long to hold you again These eyes are crying these eyes have seen a lot of love but their never gonna see another one like I had with you (repeat until it fades away) --- The Guess Who

Holy Moly! It's gonna be a big mound if we bury most of the companions!
Let's do a body count: Rose has been speared Mithadan has exsanguinated on the deck Pio will probably just fade away from shock Anyone else getting on the bus for the Halls of Mandos? *does her Buddy Holly version of 'Not Fade Away'* [ November 02, 2002: Message edited by: piosenniel ]

Helen -- Welcome back. I had computer problems for 10 days, so couldn't even do my own posts! Am still playing catch up, but Cami is alive and well though feeling guilty about Rose taking that spear.
Do you want to add anything to the rescue? Mith can slot it in anywhere. I never did a scene passing out weapons, or Phura cleaning out the smithy and locks. I should have reserved more spaces, but I was barely on at all. They rewired my whole house and yard which did no good. It turned out to be the modem. sharon

Hi Sharon,
Glad you're still there! Phew! Re: Phura, I'll probably do one scene that basically consists of "Everything was going smoothly as planned, but..." and then do some introspective stuff that I can follow up with on board, later. Glad to know you're back online; too bad about your yard.... yeow. Uh... Rose is going to recover from her spear-wound... right???

OK Sharon, I've picked up you, Rose, and the kids and taken you back to the ship. It's on page 9, post dated October 31, 2002 02:22 AM.

Per Sharon's request I edited some of my posts - Pio has told Phura that his brother and Azraph are rescued. Phura's group meets up at the end with Pio/Mithadan's motley crew and fights the last battle of the Guard Quarters with them. They then evacuated to the first Elven ship after the battle was over.

Thank you CHILD, that post was beutifull.
Nice rescue, Bird. Well, what do you expect? That we were going to go into those caves and come out with out some casualities? Rose might recover if someone could mend that gaping hole in her side. Better hurry, Hobbits can't hold that much blood. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Rose,
My comments here are meant as light-hearted banter from a reader interested in the story, to let you know that someone is reading who appreciates the writing, nothing more. Bethberry

Pat: Thanks.
If anybody has any suggestions or requests let me know, otherwise I'm sitting back and enjoying a ripsnorter of a story. Go, Birddragon! Eh, Dragbird? erm... right. Anyway, I keep thinking that I'll wait a bit more and see what's next before I add anything... Sharon, flag me if I'm needed. [ November 03, 2002: Message edited by: mark12_30 ]

BETHBERRY- I understand your just giving some comments. I just thought I'd reply. I feel honered that someone has the time to bother with our story.

Rumours of a certain Captain's demise have been highly exagerated . . . He's alive and well and on the mend! Now Idril needs to make a visit to Mz. Rose [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

(Don't forget Gandalf. Hullo, Gandalf.)
Pio-- a week? Yikers! Could you leapfrog? I have a ton of stuff that happens in the first couple of days, and I thought we were just on the first night... is that okay?

To Khelek or not to Khelek? I had started out with Khelek and then "realised" he would be aboard the Star and not the first Elven ship... is he aboard the first ship after all?

I can leapfrog.
Do you want to see if Child and or Bird can cut and paste you into their funeral and wake SAVES since we won't be needing those. Khelek is aboard the first Elven ship to reach the caverns, as is Pio, Mithadan, Ancalimon, etc. It is the one to which both Phura and Gamba, Azraph, Daisy, Kali have also returned.

Please see my pm. I also have a bunch of stuff to go up, including a scene I wrote three weeks ago on Idril and Andril healing Rose! (Great minds think alike.) Sharon

I've got another long Phura-and-Bird post (as soon as Phura's on his feet, that is) waiting "in the wings." And we were planning on doing some Cami-Gamba stuff, too, I think.

I have left a number of save posts on the board, instead of deleting them.
Is there anyway you both can allow me to cut and paste into them for any post of yours. Or can you please put a number of your own 'saves' on then I can move the freakin' posts of mine once again. Please reply soon as I have to go to work today. I will move the Idril/Andril post 'save below the Mithadan/Pio - is that going to be okay or do you want her cured earlier?

Please see my PM to you, Helen. You can use any of my saves prior to the 'week later' scenes.
Thanks, but I need nothing cut/pasted - am through with this section of the storyline for now with the exception of the Idril/Andril visit to Rose, which I can put in to any of my 'saves'. SHARON - also see my PM to you about taking the saves you need. [ November 04, 2002: Message edited by: piosenniel ]

The "traditional skinchanger's wake" was a joke! Please feel free to use the space to plug in anyone to help with continuity, or it can be deleted later. Since everyone has squeaked through, there is no need for a wake.
Everyone has squeaked through, right? No last minute croaks that anyone's hiding? |

Pio, I sent you a reply. I grabbed 2 spots, so go ahead with your 2-week stuff. Thanks! --Helen
[ November 04, 2002: Message edited by: mark12_30 ] EDIT: Pio, I'm confused, I hope I didn't mess things up-- I thought that you also had more stuff two weeks after the rescue, one week after Mithadan wakes up. I wasn't intentionally trying to get you to move Mithadan's awakening again. (I was just trying to be cooperative.) [ November 04, 2002: Message edited by: mark12_30 ]

Wait a minute! I'm not dead? *checks script*
Hey! Its says right here, page 672 line 8, very clearly that Mithadan... *reads fine print ("third draft, subject to change"). *Grumbles and stalks away to O'Hare Intn'l to get a flight home where he can access his control panel properly. See y'all tomorrow...

Please check your pms. You and I also have a timeline conflict. Please see my message to you. If this isn't ok, let me know. The faster we get these up, the less likelihood of "time conflict." sharon

*hands him the revision memo*
Actually, Mithadan, we're on the fourth, possibly the fifth draft. You are alive and really should get out of bed soon - I see Idril has okayed you for return to 'light duty'. That puts you on the dishwashing crew in the improvised cooking yard on the isle. *hands him an apron and a sponge*
