Kath, it appears that you have deleted the question Frodides asks about Randvér, whether he's going to stay for lunch.

littlemanpoet · 01-15-2007, 09:49 AM

Kath, it appears that you have deleted the question Frodides asks about Randvér, whether he's going to stay for lunch.

Next thing is that Falco and "Rilef" are about to walk in, and it seems that it would be really appropriate for Ginna to shriek at the sight of the two-headed, two torsoed, and four-armed man. That would get various and sundry folk rushing to the kitchen to see if someone has gotten burned or worse, and would be perfectly, exquisitely embarrassing for Ginna & the twins, both. Doesn't that sound like fun?

Alrighty, I shall go change it.

It does sound like fun, and I believe Ginna was going to have an accident of some sort anyway so the two may well tie together.

Folwren · 01-15-2007, 11:59 AM

I'm sorry about my silence. I really did mean to write a post, but then our power went out on account of a huge ice storm. I'm still un able to write the post, even though the power is back. If we still have electricity this evening, I will write something. I have to be getting on now, though, so I'll talk to you all later.

-- Folwren

Thinlómien · 01-17-2007, 02:37 AM

I'm quite at loss with this sheep shearing. I know how it works in theory, and I even found two somewhat useful pages. (Wikipedia, look under "blade shears" and another.) I still think I lack the proper knowledge about medieval sheep-herding, sheep and sheep shearing to write a post about it...

So, I think I'll either write about Modtryth (though I must say the children are much more amusing) or try to find more information about the sheep things... If anyone has any knowledge about sheep, I'd be glad if s/he shared with us.

Thinlómien · 01-17-2007, 04:08 AM

Another thought, concerning Modtryth, crossed my mind. This far, her job has been shopping for the household and things that are related with it. Since that is not a work you do many hours every day, she's been also doing some cleaning and household things, but now that Ginna has arrived and there's a proper serving wench in the house, there is less for Modtryth to do. I think that as soon as she's heard of Ginna's arrival, she will go to ask somebody about the situation. Lord Eodwine, I guess then, since Saeryn's left?

I have efficiently wasted my possible writing-time for today, so I'll write something later this week.

littlemanpoet · 01-17-2007, 04:14 AM

Eodwine will jump at the chance to turn Modtryth into the hostess he now lacks; and this one, in his mind, will work out much better than the last, as Modtryth is married.

Eodwine has a nasty habit of frightening innocent females.

Kath · 01-17-2007, 06:08 AM

Elempi, question ... how do you pronounce Frodides? Slightly random I know but it's been bugging me all through my lectures today!

Folwren · 01-17-2007, 09:55 AM

Tara, I finally wrote a post for Thornden. Take it away!

Firefoot, I hope to get a post up for Javan sometime in the near future.

FRO-di-daes or FRO-di-deez; the first is half-way correct, and the second is not correct at all but easier.

Correct according to Anglo-Saxon would be: FRO-di-dess.

Your choice.

Kath · 01-17-2007, 12:34 PM

Well I'm about halfway right then. Thanks.

littlemanpoet · 01-18-2007, 10:46 AM

The scene is now set for Ginna to embarrass herself.

Firefoot · 01-18-2007, 12:09 PM

You know, it just occurred to me that Leof hasn't been informed yet of Lifun and Ritun either. He didn't come back to the hall the previous night after caring for Thornden's horse, no one thought to tell him, and they only entered the hall in the morning as Leof and Javan were leaving it.

Oh, goodie.

Folwren · 01-18-2007, 02:03 PM

Hm. I think it's the same for Javan, pretty much. This morning at breakfast would have been the only time that he would have seen them, and me as a writer didn't notice. Wait...he was with Leof for breakfast and out in the stables before hand and afterwards, so I guess if Leof didn't see 'em, neither did Javan.

So! Is it alright if Javan and Leof get their surprise now, too?

I pity no one save Lefun and Ritun. Poor chaps.

Corrections made Lhuna.

Folwren · 01-23-2007, 08:47 AM

Firefoot,

Is it alright if I move the two boys all the way out into the yard and get them to where they first spot Lefun and Ritun coming out of the back, kitchen door?

That replacement had now been found, but truth be told, there was enough work for both Kath and Frodides, even with Ginna's help on top of it all.

Indeed? Looks like I'll be moving to Rohan then.

Perfect, Folwren.

Formendacil · 01-23-2007, 11:29 PM

Kath: what I said about taking your time and not rushing you my account, well... it's still in effect and everything... but, um, don't forget completely.

Not that I'm saying you have... but best find out now than in two weeks.

Sorry, I've been the point man for a men's retreat at my church, which happened yesterday. Then 11 hours of much needed sleep.

I haven't looked at the Downs in I don't know how many days. Sorry. Back to it now.

I will have Falco answer Léof's question some time today.

Kath · 01-28-2007, 09:36 AM

Form I promise you I've not forgotten again, just been catching up on other RPGs. Kara should reply today and if she doesn't it will be tomorrow.

As long as I know it's not been forgotten, I'm quite willing to wait.. though I do look forward to having something to reply to.

littlemanpoet · 02-01-2007, 08:41 PM

Hello? Jenny? Eodwine needs some kind of response from Marenil, even if it's to excuse himself as suddenly ill or something.....

littlemanpoet · 02-04-2007, 08:52 PM

I'd like to move this day along to supper hour. Is that okay with everyone? Or does someone need to do something before then?

One'd have to ask Kath...

Kath? How're we doing? Does the general time of day matter to us much?

Thinlómien · 02-05-2007, 03:21 AM

Well, Modtryth should maybe meet Ginna. I wonder if someone's going to introduce them to each other, or if they should meet by chance. I'll write a post as soon as possible (after having negotiated with Lhuna though)... meybe a bit more than 24h from now, if that's okay, as Form and Kath still have their storyline going on...

And either me, Noggie or Cel could maybe write about the little guys...

Lhunardawen · 02-05-2007, 04:14 AM

I'm sure Ginna has to help Frodides with her work, but I'm waiting for Kath for that. Ginna's definitely up for meeting Modtryth. On the other hand, her writer's spirit is very much willing, but her flesh is weak.

So Ginna's in the kitchen with Frodides and Kara? I think Modtryth will sooner or later pop up in the kitchen because of her duties, so that's where she could meet Ginna, though that would maybe need some co-operation with Kath as well. Or then Modtryth could be doing shopping and would return only around the suppertime, and thus there'd be no hurry with the writing...

Kath · 02-05-2007, 07:30 AM

Any post I make for Kara or Frodides can be written retrospectively if people do want time moved along. It wouldn't be a problem.

Folwren · 02-05-2007, 08:59 AM

I have done nothing with Thornden. Tara's been busy I guess...

As for Javan...Firefoot, was there anything particular we needed to accomplish?

I've been waiting for me to post, but I've not been getting around to it very fast, have I?

Sorry. I may try to do something later today...perhaps Elempi won't have moved time yet.

-- Folwren

littlemanpoet · 02-05-2007, 09:48 AM

Foley, if you need to do something before supper yet, I can wait. My reasoning was that nothing much was happening, and I have an idea that happens at supper time, so I'm eager to get to it; but only so long as others don't have anything they want to do.

So if any of you need to write something, I'll wait approximately one day.

You will have noticed that I have moved on from waiting for Marenil to reply to Eodwine. I understand that Jenny is rather occupied right now with other things; therefore, Marenil's answer can be back-loaded into the front of my post that moves Eodwine and Randvér from the Mead Hall.

Are there any questions?

Folwren · 02-05-2007, 12:17 PM

Elempi,

I don't think I have anything to accomplish... So you can move time on whenever you want. If I happen to get a post in before you do, that's fine. But if not, that's fine, too.

This is speaking for me. I don't know if Firefoot wanted anything to happen in particular. I think, though, it would be fine to move on.

-- Folwren

Firefoot · 02-05-2007, 03:22 PM

I'm fine with moving on.
