On the same note– Mnemo, please let me know if I'm writing Rollan all right in my last post.

Nerwen, Rollan looks just fine.

I won't be able to post until later tonight, likely.

Amdír has made it back as far as Lamedon Square, and could return with Branor and Therian--assuming they are sober and compliant enough to head back to the Inn with him.

And, in an interesting twist of fate, my character on the Lamedon Square Market is played by me for the first time in this "alternate" reality. :p

Aldarion has approached Rollan, so I'd say he's about to have the letters handed over. Go ahead and PM any time.

Dim, I'm afraid I got carried away a little and left us in another nice pickle. Good luck with trying to keep Coldan out of a fight!
And you'll like to know (although our characters don't yet) that the customer in the white livery is none other than Bergil son of Beregond - now a man of thirty, serving in the White Company of Ithilien under his father, and currently on leave to visit his relations in the city for Cormare. Involve him in any way you please.:smokin:

Really excellent post Pitchwife. I'm speculating the mysterious fellow in white is a member of Faramir's White Company? Possibly a grown-up Bergil?

I love and share Coldan's outrage

phantom, I shall send you Aldarion's letters in a minute

EDIT: ha ha ha we honestly crossed

Form, while I'm sure Amdir would make sure Branor and Therian do return back to the inn in one piece, they would also like to keep their jobs. So, Branor will at least deny you so he can continue the investigation of hobbits, what Therian does will be up to Fea.

Btw, I'm trying not to read posts too closely if they don't involve my character, as I believe it will be easier at the end of things to truly be in the dark than to try and fake it (in short, if your report to the playwright gets some details wrong, he won't know to correct it). I'll be rereading sections only after we reach what I consider to be a good point of reflection.

But you're missing out on some well crafted misogyny!

Well...your last post was just pure wind-driven snow Truth

Truth
 

:smokin:

ahaha "You hound!"

The old Master of the Revels was Hallas, Amlach is Aldarion's cool actor friend from Dol Amroth

I've done my best to at least propose a sollution to our little mess, Pitch. But I don't think Coldan's going to be too happy with poor Harry now:D.

Hi people, sorry for disappearing (I was away for a weekend and then it took me some time to catch up) but I should be around again now. Trying to post later today - I have to check if there's interesting for me to write about. Anyway, the posts you have written meanwhile are hilarious, I was actually giggling at my laptop alone in my room. :D

Never mind, I am! I took the liberty to let Harry do most of the talking to Bergil - seems logical to me, Gondorian and all; hope I did it right for you.
Should we actually write out the following conversation with Bergil, or just have Collie and Harry report it when they get back, so as not to repeat ourselves?

Ang - very observant!:D

Boro/Fea, I can't wait to find out who that old man is!

let's see if I can keep up my form. I don't think the Crazy Old Man's a canon character, but if he is, I suppose he might be the herb-master fallen on hard times...

Wait, he's looking for his lost wife...a cunningly disguised Ent?

Geez, how old is he then?! :eek:

Or maybe he's the Gondorian version of the ancient man who said "The way is shut". :D

My guess is that it's Tom Bombadil in disguise, since he knows about the Barrows. His wife is in the water, hence finding her in the clouds.

Am I right, Fea?

Also cause he's babbling random rhymes? ;)

Very good, Esty, but I'd be very surprised to see the Master so far from his forest...?

I've got it - he's an enigma!

Or it's just a Crazy Old Man, looking for his misplaced wife? :p

Bwahahahahahahaha I'll never tell! :Merisu:

Well, it's not much of an update, because school is eating me this week, but Amdír has made it to the inn, so the "fun times" can begin. I don't think there's any need for me to post before Anguirel gets underway, now that Amdír is present. The good carpenter's reaction to Lord Cirdacil's presence is just as easily done once I/he know what the Master of Revels wants.

Might put up a "Waiting for Cirdacil" post, just to keep things moving, but I'm also waiting on Anguirel or at least what Aldarion got in his letter. I'm not, at this point, planning on showing whatever conversation takes place between Brinn and Rollan... just want to see them ready for whatever's dished out next.

Your post was great,Pitch. I guess we could just have the two report what they hear from Bergil directly to the others instead of writing the actual conversation. If we do this, does that mean that our next post will be of Harry and Collie(:D) returning to the inn?

I was also playing the waiting game, but if everyone prefers, I can "cut" to Cirdacil addressing the company - minus the four adventurers? - in the courtyard

EDIT: though yes perhaps a reactive phantom post would be fun

I'll post something in the next 30 minutes. Also sending you a PM, Ang.

Yeah, let's make it so. Take them back if you like.
(PS. - I used to have a collie as my avvie when I first joined the Downs...)

My last post-

I didn't detail Aldarion's thoughts because I needed the contents of the letters to remain a secret. I wrote what witnesses would see instead (Asta is in the hall, yes, and still Rollan maybe, and perhaps Sereth too?).

I do not like the looks of this at all. :P :)

If anyone wants me to fix anything in the waiting post, let me know.

"Hmmm... now where did I put her?..." :D

I have copy/pasted all crossover posts into the Market game thread for ease of reading. Enjoy!

-Fea

Sorry for my gross dereliction of duty - got home late and have to be up early tomorrow *insert yawning smiley*. Probably won't be able to post tomorrow either, since I'll be going there and meeting with The Might. Better on weekend, I promise.
In the meantime, Dim, feel free to use Coldan if you need him; same goes for everybody else, once we're back at the inn.

I'll be able to get Bran and Therian back to the Inn to tell Brinn what they found on the hobbits either tonight or tomorrow morning. Then I'm going away again this weekend so Branor will be free to use as needed.

Yay Nerwen for mentioning my character - I really get into this vicious circle that I'm not involved because I'm busy, then I don't write because I'm involved, and so on. I'm afraid I will again have a busy weekend but I should be able to write tomorrow and on Sunday evening. And I'm going to write now as soon as I've read Ang's post properly.

PS. Phantom sorry for not reacting to your cue earlier, I was not around. If you want to, you can edit your post to say that Sereth didn't notice Aldarion, or either that she shook her head in reply. But you can also leave it be, it's fine.

Crossed Dim and wondering if editing is necessary? No?

Also, anybody, feel free to overhear Sereth. She was whispering, but I think she's annoyed enough to accidentally whisper a bit too loudly. ;)

no one seems to have reacted to Cirdacil firing Amdir...?

EDIT: also I wouldn't really describe the brusque Cirdacil as oily myself, though the son's another matter

Nerwen - please tell me if you want me to correct something I said about Asta in my latest post. However also please notice that Sereth seems to be seeing everything from a rather twisted point of view. :D

Everybody, but especiallyAng - Sereth is following Sador so you can make something out of it (Sador noticing her and starting to talk to her, Brinn noticing that Sereth is slipping away and yelling at her to stay or whatever) but take into account that the next time I can write is sometime on Sunday evening (European time of course), so just make sure you're not making yourselves wait by trying to interact with my character. Also, I don't mind if you use her, I will only complain if you do it the wrong way. ;)
