Internet access might be a little tight for a few days, maybe a week or more. I'll most likely post at least once a day, but won't be as commited as I could be.

I'm also busy all next Monday with a Prizegiving ceremony, so no posts then.
You'll probably fall behind, but you will have opportunity to catch up afterward. As Kath has already learned, you'll get no sympathy from me for falling behind.

No more vans for now. My plan in this case was to "curveball" any player who hadn't posted yet by the time I got done with work. Fléin may join if he likes.

[quote=Fea]...am I about to get vanned?[/qutoe]No. I have worse things saved up for you.

A trip via the bliddyunnergrind will cost her 2 trolls, 50 maggots, one way. She'll find street musicians down in the corridors, which are full of litter and spit, chewed up gum, cigarette butts, rude people, people in a bliddy rush, et cetera. Typical city life only Mordorian to boot. Use your imagination.

A point of clarity just in case it's needed:

Don't wait for me to post continuations of the van action. I will intervene periodically in each character's story; it's up to you to run with it after that. Sorry for not setting up that expectation earlier.

Okay, I know I said I'd do it in my next post, but I think I feel the need for our characters to agree to travel together before I toss the van in, so that's when it will happen.

Congratulations... Mardil's got Alli thoroughly confused about the way she feels about him. Should she be annoyed that she has to travel with a noble when she so very much hates the way the government is run? Should she be glad for the protection? Should she admit that she is happy for the help, or deny that she needs it in the first place? Poor Mardil gets to travel with an emotionally confused teenage girl. Lucky him.

Now... bring on the vans.

I've finally put up a post. Apologies for the delay -- college auditions are not fun. Just to let you know, LMP, my computer time will be quite limited from December 9-11 due to the fact that I have to drive 8 hours to go to another audition. I'll still be able to post, though.

Later tonight, I shall write another post (or at least begin one) about Wilhelmina's experiences on the reality show. (Great idea, by the way!)

Okay, thanks!

Street musicians, eh? I think I know just the song for them.

Fea and Kath, feel free to start us on our way to RCA records. Once there, perhaps we will meet a performer or two who has been assigned to Mordor. Sound good?

Wilhelmina's been acting a bit like a diva... this is too much fun.

Fea, I talked to the phantom about my idea and he's cool with it. I'll be doing that in my next post, either later tonight or tomorrow.

Fea and Kath- once we arrive at RCA feel free to pull in any sorts of music or celebs that have been assigned to Mordor, except Britney Spears. I'll take care of her.

Did you notice, tp? There was an undelivered official looking document saying Alli's supposed to be dancing with her.

I daresay that their personalities won't mesh well. And if Mardil gets all infatuated with her, I daresay Alli might *gasp* be upset by it. But will she know if it's jealousy or pure annoyance that he could sink so low? But then again, I think Alli's gonna meet one or two emo kids. We'll see...

Just so we are all clear on the exact time, we need to be in Edge-Where by Wednesday at 4:41 PM EST, right lmp?

If so, then we have plenty of time. We will arrive at RCA tomorrow and as long as we get ourselves out of there headed towards Edge-Where sometime on Tuesday we will be fine. That gives us tomorrow night, Monday, and early Tuesday to wreak havoc at the record company.

And Enca, as long as you put your idea into motion by Monday everything will be fine, so don't feel like you have to rush things if you want to continue being a diva for another day.

Thumbs up Sub-Thread #1: Great Lines (as in hilarious)

Just a collection of some of my favorites, so far, since I can only rep you guys every 20. If you wish to add to this particular "sub-thread", just use the above wording in the "Title" field of your post.

The rating system below is purely subjective, based on my own reactions to what you guys have written.

10 rotfl
9 lmao
8 uncontrollable giggling
7 burst out laughing
6 good laugh
5 grin
4 smile
3 smirk
2 great stuff
1 good stuff

It's all making me smile, smirk, and it's all great stuff, so I'm not counting anything below a 5.

"Daddy, look, that lady is giving her hat lunch!" a small girl noted, tugging on her father's sleeve. - Enca~7

"Fléin son of Fréin of the Ironfoots" the Grand Anakronist cried, his voice rolling through the courtyard.

"Ironfeet!" injected an annoying English teacher. - Guy~6

Fea's entire post after leaving Caer PairadocksFea~8

He was smacked in the face by pure shock as the Trolls began bodily placing him on a litter, and though it was quite comfortable, and he was getting a lead role, Valde made a show of struggling. “No! O untimely official looking document, I never once did know thy bitter taste till now!”

“He is good, isn’t he?” the Troll carrying the back of the litter said to the one in front. - Durelin~7

"Thank you." The Orc deposited the Troll in a box marked "Paid" and handed Panakeia a receipt. As he turned and walked back into the crowd, he called out "Have a nice day, and remember, a frown is just a smile turned upside down." Panakeia gaped at the Orc. Could he possibly be any more absurd? - Celuien~8

A man wearing a lot of bling-bling hopped out of the passenger side and strutted up to Mardil, using one hand to hold up his overly large and baggy pants. - the phantom~7

"So, tell us a few things about yourself, Ms. Brokenback," the host, who had introduced himself as Karís Mâtiktwít said with a grin of dubious sincerity and hue. - Enca~9 ('single item' winner so far)

The woman shrugged. Suddenly her face contorted, nose wrinkled, upper lip drawn back, and eyes squeezed even more tightly shut than before. She grabbed at Panakeia's scarf, which was instantly pulled back by a ducking Panakeia, and sneezed, spraying the business-suited man behind with cold virus. - Celuien~7

Red line to Potted Ham Court Road, change trains for Edge-Where. - Celuien~6

"Good morning, afternoon, evening and morning again! Welcome to the Rűt’s Lip Garden Station. My name is Tiffany. It is my pleasure to serve you with a smile." Here she smiled, baring a row of yellow, jagged teeth. One was gold, and another had Tiffany's gum on it. - Celuien~7

When the man looked properly respectful, fearful, and reminiscent of somebody about to wet himself, Alli straightened his bling for him and patted him on the head. - Fea~5

"I said fruitcake!" - Enca~6

Cumulative totals so far:

Enca~22
Guy~6
Fea~13
Durelin~7
Celuien~28
the phantom~7
Kath~nuthin' yet (suggestion: do more with the fact that your character's the only complete newby in Mordor)

Cumulative winner of this round: Celuien!~ Yay!
Honorable mention: Enca
Heck, you guys are all incredible.

Thumbs up Sub-Thread #2: Great Plot Twists & Ideas

This is necessarily a shorter list:

Celuien: orc giving Panakeia a ticket

Celuien: the unnerground street musicians scamming sympathetic types - and what a song!

Feanor: claustrophobia in the van

the phantom: having RCA be close to Edge-where. Clever!

the guy who be short: Willy Wonka in Mordor - chortle!

For anybody having difficulty finding Edgware on the map LMP supplied, may I suggest www.multimap.com. Just type in Edgware, and you're done.

6 points eh? I'll need to work on that...

Why, thank you, lmp. Writing this and reading all of the great posts from my fellow assignees has been too much fun.

I'm not quite finished with my street musicians yet. If there are no objections from tp, Fea or Kath, they'll be on their way to RCA shortly. But first there's the matter of a little trip through the Potted Ham Court Road station and some conversation to pass the time on the train (probably two more posts).

Well, we're at RCA. Feel free to redo the van trip from your point of view and move us on into the RCA building.

We don't want RCA thugs chasing us throughout the game, so be sure and don't walk out and break the contract. We'll make them back out of the contract.

Brilliant stuff, tp. I love it. And don't worry... they'll regret dragging Alli along pretty soon. Especially if she can manage to meet the head of the company. Poor man...

I'm going to kick back until Sai and Alli wrap up the van trip and get us into RCA, so don't wait for me.

Yes, yes- Alli's ability to make people regret having her around will be extremely useful in getting us out of our contract.

Gondorians? Whatever are you talking about. *wink*

But seriously, most of them will be thinking "This is great television!"

I've changed my mind about the head of the company. I don't think Britney's happy with Alli right now though...

All you guys have to do is get found by the guy Alli sent and make your way to a stage deep in the building. Don't ask why there's a stage in a recording studio... it just happened. Unless they're recording music videos on stage? Who knows.

But somebody had better get Alli that Dasani or she's going to go looking for it.

He will find me on the top floor negotiating our contract. I'll pull the wool over their eyes and make sure the contract has a way for us to get out of it easily without any penalties.

After we are all down there with you on the stage, an enraged Britney will show up and make some demands- some of which will help us. The ones that are harmful to us, well... I'll persuade Brit to drop those demands by using my eloquent tongue... to, err... talk to her of course.

Since I won't be able to post until about 5 PM EST tomorrow, I decided to get Wilhelmina away from Karis and the show now... phantom and Fea, you can have him show up anytime you like.

Unless I get some unexpected free time, Alli's going to be sitting on that stage until somebody shows up. You're welcome to take a while... I'll just have her be that much moodier for having to wait later on. I've got a lot of work to do in the next few days. I set it up so that there'd be at least a few posts before I need to put in another one. Much though I like curveballs, please don't throw any at me immediately or I won't be able to handle them. *mutters about the paper she's trying to finish (on page 13!), the research she hasn't started yet, the other paper she hasn't started, the two final projects that need to be started and completed... etcetera*

Sorry I haven't been in today. Things are sort of hectic right now and I only have about 10 minutes at a time to check in. I'll catch up tomorrow when I'm off...

I hope you feel REALLY guilty about it too.

Edit: I've done what I could. If the phantom can't help me out on this, or if someone else can't unexpectedly go get Alli from the balrog, she's going to be hanging out beneath Lundun for a while.

I'm hoping I'll be free to catch up reading the thread and then make a post at around 4:00 and then again later tonight. I will for sure be able to make a lengthy post tomorrow morning.

So, if you are still unable to post, Fea, Sai or I will take care of you.

Cackle!

Guilty? Not a bit.

No sympathy. Just ask Kath.

Paranoid? Even less.

This is Mordor, after all.

"Herculean" is the operative word regarding these tests.

And here I thought we were testing characters... not the ability of their writers to add an extra few hours in the day to accomodate extra things that they had thought they'd had worked out. I'm not Herculean, LMP.
