Sounds good. Take your liberties; I can always slap your hand afterward. ;)

Well, I've taken my liberties, please don't slap too hard.

It's your turn now - I hope my post was long enough. When we're through with Javan there are still two matters that Thornden has to talk with Eodwine about, so don't excuse him too quickly.

Eodwine's reply to Thornden and Javan is up - and a pair of questions back to Javan. Let's see what happens. So as you can see, I haven't kicked Thornden out before he can put forth his other two matters. Busy guy, this Thornden! ;)

No joke. Sheesh. :rolleyes:

Okay, thanks. I'll post again tomorrow. Will you want Eodwine to say anything further after Javan replies to his questions, or should the boy be dismissed once he answers? Hmph. It's so late I've forgotten one of the two additional businesses...oohh, yes, right. Okay.

Tomorrow. Goodnight!

littlemanpoet 10-28-2006 09:19 PM

Feel free to put appropriate words in Eodwine's mouth. If I have a problem with any of it, I'm sure to let you know. ;)

littlemanpoet 10-29-2006 07:09 PM

Nice post, Foley. Eodwine will not be quite so combative as the second to the final paragraph has him, especially in his current mood of pity for Ritun and Lefun. I think all you need therefore of the last paragraph is the final sentence. I'll have a post up perhaps tonight with Eodwine's reply.

Folwren 10-29-2006 07:24 PM

Right ho, captain, sir!

So, the second to last paragraph and the last paragraph are going out, and the last sentence is being kept....

Will look forward to your post.

Clarification Regarding the Twins
 
Just so it's really clear and we all get the description (and our own perceptions of what's going on) the same: the twins are not two heads on one body; rather, they split at the mid-section and have two torsos, and two pairs of arms, as well as two heads. Please make sure you describe your character's perceptions accordingly. Thanks!

Nogrod 11-07-2006 02:41 PM

Celuien: I have used your family somewhat. Hopefully that is okay. I have tried to make things go forwards and to kind of open the wound that was never stiched among the children...

Please let me know if I have done something in a wrong way and I'll correct it.

Celuien 11-07-2006 03:51 PM

Looks fine. :)

Okay, thanks Elempí, I wasn't aware they had two pairs of arms, I'll edit my post a bit.

littlemanpoet 11-08-2006 04:54 AM

Thanks, Lommy. :)

Nogrod 11-08-2006 10:49 AM

Lmp: Did the things in your last post happen before or after the things described on mine just before it in the thread?

littlemanpoet 11-08-2006 10:13 PM

I'm sorry, it was late and I didn't tie my post into yours. I shall edit.

littlemanpoet 11-10-2006 10:58 AM

Ooh! Celuien! Too bad I already repped you at Veil! That was a good one! :D

Folwren 11-10-2006 11:04 AM

Fight! Fight!

(No, I'm kidding..........somewhat)

Yes, good post!

-- Foley

Celuien 11-10-2006 11:12 AM

Thanks! :)

I wonder what will happen next. :D

Folwren 11-10-2006 01:13 PM

I am leaving shortly to be gone for today and all of tomorrow. I will be back Sunday sometime. Have fun!

-- Folwren

Nogrod 11-10-2006 03:56 PM

Some tension indeed, Celuien! Great!

You don't always need knights in shining armour facing the foul villains, or agonising princes with princessess locked up in the tower to come up with some drama...

littlemanpoet 11-14-2006 10:42 AM

Nogrod, I've been waiting for Cnebba to react to Garmund, which means you're the writer. Should I wait? Or should I have some one of my six characters intervene and perhaps make matters even worse, first?

Nogrod 11-14-2006 11:24 AM

That passed my mind today. I'll try to come up with something later today.

I have kind of waited if Lommy would like to do it (as Cnebba is our shared character) but as she has no net access at home, it might be best that I do it and we can continue with the story.

Thinlómien 11-15-2006 02:08 AM

Good that you did it, Noggie, since I had no ideas, or too much time for that matter.

Folwren 11-19-2006 09:19 PM

May I be so bold as to ask when we can continue? And on whom are we waiting? Neither of my characters are busy in this scene and I see little reason to add either of them to it. If the writing continued in a fluent manner, I would say we had enough excitement going on at present... ;)

-- Folwren

littlemanpoet 11-19-2006 09:30 PM

You can continue now. You don't need a personal directive from me. You've graduated from the Shire. Please carry on. If you wait for me every time, you will be doing a lot more waiting than writing. Heaven forbid.

Folwren 11-20-2006 03:13 PM

Oh, I have nothing to post. If I had, I wouldn't have asked permission. I was just asking if you all could continue. :D Now that you've put up a post, perhaps Nogrod or Celuien will run with it.

I'm sorry. I'm just impatient, that's all. Not necessarily to write, at this point, but I can't stand being left wondering what's going to happen between those kiddeos, and now Falco................*chuckle* So, I'm just looking to jostle people up with enquiries of being able to continue.

-- Folwren

littlemanpoet 11-21-2006 08:58 PM

From my pov, it seems that we could move things along to mid- to late- evening now. Is there anything anybody else wants to write before we do that? Because there's a post for me to put up that Feanor, Kath and I wrote about three months ago (I think) that belongs on this Day's evening. :p

Folwren 11-21-2006 09:22 PM

I agree. I have nothing going on at all, much less anything that needs drawing to a close. Thornden has finished his business for the day and closed shop, except to eat dinner.

However, the ones who will really have to answer your question are Celuien, Nogrod, and Lommy.

-- Fowlren

Thinlómien 11-22-2006 02:29 AM

I think we need at least one post from Celuien (Leothern taking a position in the boys' quarrel) and maybe one from me (I guess Modtryth will arrive to the hall very soon) or Noggie.

littlemanpoet 11-22-2006 08:40 PM

Hmmm hmmmm! Yes, Celuien has posted now, and the Eorl is feeling a tad tongue tied, thinking that these parents are overreacting a bit; ;) then again, he has other stuff on his mind and it's been years since he seriously parented... waiting for Lommy or Noggie before I post again....

Thinlómien 11-23-2006 08:19 AM

I wrote it, but it's quite long... I guess we can move on now, at least as for me and Noggie (and Cel?).

I'm fine. :)

Nogrod 11-23-2006 10:29 AM

Lmp: even if it is as you said that

I'd like to see him react to the things in one way or another. I could then write Stigend out of the situation and we could go forwards.

But if you have no time for it or wish to move forwards immediately, that suits me fine too... just let me and Celuien know.

Celuien: I talked with Lommy on phone just an hour ago. What do you think of the following plan? These parents seem to be ones who wish to solve problems in a straightforward manner. So how if Stigend and Garstan make a deal that (as we jump to) the late afternoon / early evening they all would meet in ones or others room - not in public after all this fuzz - and try to settle the matter once and for all. Now that doesn't mean that we will be able to solve it - it might even get worse if we wish. :D

Great post Lommy!

Celuien 11-23-2006 11:19 AM

I like the plan. :)

Garstan will have a chat with his kids first (possibly 'off stage' since this is a really busy week for me) and then all three will join the discussion.

Suits me fine - and I think Lommy will agree too.

littlemanpoet 11-23-2006 08:18 PM

Okay, I'll post something up.

Just a small niggle: "apologize" is from the Greek. The Old English would be "speak my wrongful deed".

Thinlómien 11-30-2006 03:00 AM

Is something going to happen sometime?

littlemanpoet 11-30-2006 05:01 AM

RL has got me swamped right now. Anybody want to do anything, go right ahead. Use my characters if you like.

Celuien 11-30-2006 05:07 AM

Likewise swamped. I'll try to post something this afternoon/evening, but if anyone wants to pop in on the storyline with the children, please go ahead.

Nogrod 11-30-2006 06:19 AM

Folwren's idea about Thornden coming to have a little talk looks promising. We might handle it in the following way? Thornden comes to talk before Garstan and Stigend have gone to their rooms (to have a talk with their children, possibly all together?) and if Lommy wishes to join, she might make Modtryth to come looking for Stigend (leaving Cnebba to their room - Garstan's children are already in their room, aren't they?)?

What do you say?

Folwren 11-30-2006 09:12 AM

I say 'Aye.' Today is rainy and cold and there's only so much housework that can be done and no more. I'll write a post after the housework is done, having Thornden approach the two gents.
