Arwen,

Great to see you back!

Everyone

Doug Platypus who was supposed to play Bill Ferny has had to withdraw from the game. Fortunately, Nurumaiel has agreed to play the role in his absence. Many thanks. The hobbits of the Shire look forward to making things very miserable for your character!

Auriel --- You two will want to get together. Pio and I have discussed a possible sequence of events which you might want to look at and see if it sounds workable. It is bare bones, just the vague outline of what might happen. You can take and run with it any way you please. I will get that to you later today.

Please see your pm's.

Zira's family and Rose Goodchild have also received a last-minute invitation to the party which Amaranthas is giving.

You may want to post or reserve a spot for the dinner party.

Rose Cotton, Carrûn, and Arwen Baggins -

Please check your PM's.

Child of the 7th Age · 03-20-2003, 11:07 AM

Auriel, Nurumaiel,

As we discussed, I have sent through the general outline with indications of general bandit activity.

Let me know how you decide to proceed.

sharon

piosenniel · 03-20-2003, 01:15 PM

Pio has indeed married well - not only can he captain a ship quite admirably, and use a blade almost as well as she, but now she discovers he is well versed in the intricacies of diapering. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Child of the 7th Age · 03-20-2003, 03:33 PM

Regarding Pio's description of her husband:

Quote:

and use a blade almost as well as she,

If Pio keeps making comments like these, she may soon find herself minus any husband! I mean, you know how all men are about these things.

BTW, you are not seeing double. I have leapfrogged my post forward, sinc it seemed better to place it later in terms of the timing.

He is more muscled than Pio and has a longer reach - but she is quicker, and her technique is excellent . . .

OK, she relents - he is as good as she . . .

piosenniel · 03-20-2003, 04:01 PM

Sharon - you have not gone blind!

I have copied your post and will put it up just previous to mine later tonight.

Child of the 7th Age · 03-20-2003, 04:05 PM

Thanks for the note and pm. For one horrifying moment, I thought a mysterious post cruncher had eaten it up.

Your plan is fine.

sharon

piosenniel · 03-20-2003, 04:44 PM

Sharon -

I moved the posts for the parties we had both put on earlier to page 7, flows better that way - wraps up the Angelica and pio segment.

Nurumaiel · 03-20-2003, 06:26 PM

Okay, I'm just a bit confused. Which party is this they're preparing for? Is this the on Angelica and family are invited to? Just wondering if I'll be needed here . . .

piosenniel · 03-20-2003, 06:35 PM

Nuru

There are 2 parties:

One is at Bag End - that will be Frodo and Sam, Bilbo, Merry and Pippin. An all guy party.

The other is at Amaranthas' house - Bilbo had asked her if she would have Miz Rose and the kids over while the party at Bag end is going on.

The second is the one you have been invited to by Pio. Miz Rose and children will be there. Pio for sure. Cami's adopted daughter, Rose Goodchild, also. Possibly Mithadan.

[ March 20, 2003: Message edited by: piosenniel ]

Child of the 7th Age · 03-20-2003, 07:05 PM

As Pio has said, we have two small dinnners going on at once, which can be confusing. I have taken the liberty of editing everyone's save to show what their character's name is and what party they will be posting for.

Please try to make it clear in the opening sentence or two of your post which party you are attending. That way other people will clearly understand when they read your post exactly where you are.

For example, you can mention some of the people who are there or the location of the party itself. E.g. Merry was extremely glad to be seeing Bilbo and Frodo again and enjoying the comforts of Bag-end, or, Rose Goodchild was looking forward to spending the evening with Pio, and getting a chance to talk with Amaranthas.

Refer back to Pio's comments just above if there's any confusion about the two parties, and which one your character is at.

All those at the party at Amaranthas': tomorrow, real time, I will get all of us back to our homes.

Please either SAVE a place for yourself to post about being at the party at the old Dragon's or PM me your post and let me place it for you.

Thanks!

Child of the 7th Age · 03-22-2003, 06:42 PM

The same for the folk at the Bag-end dinner.

Please do your post or reserve a save space by Sunday at midnight (central time). Alternately, I'll be glad to paste it in earlier in the thread, if you send it to me.

I will do the wrap up late Sunday night.

Sweet Mithadan has relented and has gone to the party with Pio.

Pio,

I did a piggy-back post in your space, since the chronology seemed to fit in best there.

sharon

Nurumaiel · 03-23-2003, 01:16 PM

I've filled in my post from March 22, 08:12 PM. Pio, you might want to check it. I had Angelica invite Peony, as you suggested, but if it doesn't work here, I can edit the post and we can arrange a meeting at the Inn or something along those lines.

piosenniel · 03-23-2003, 01:28 PM

Wonderful post, Nuru!

What I'll do is write up a little interaction for Pio, Angelica, and Peony and insert it where Peony and Angelica go to find Pio.

Pippin and Sam,

Many thanks. They both look good.

Cami

Nurumaiel · 03-24-2003, 02:06 PM

Would it be all right if I put up a 'Save' space for Ferny to talk with Auriel's character?

piosenniel · 03-24-2003, 02:14 PM

Nuru - yes, please do. Since the parties are now over, we should be moving the focus to the baddies and their nefarious schemings.

I am working on a post where some parties of traders have come to the Inn bringing their wares, and they have brought rumours of 2 kidnappings in the Eastfarthing - one in Budge Ford; one in Whitfurrows near it.

Can you refer to these in your post?

Child of the 7th Age · 03-24-2003, 02:14 PM

Nuru,

Yes, definitely.

*********************************************

The final Bag-end post and Cami's vows are finally up and edited.

Cami

Nurumaiel · 03-24-2003, 02:16 PM

I most certainly will mention the kidnappings.

Do you want to save your original save place or delete it?
