The Reunification of the Entish Bow - Discussion - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Oh I do, with a shiver of dread.

Most excellent posts gentlefolk! Loved the developing backstory in Mith's and the developing forestory in SpM's; nothing will escape our fearsome satirical grasp... I'm still waiting for a good spoof on Trotter the Ranger Hobbit, though.

Rep forthcoming, but apparently, like butter on bread, I need to spread it around a bit more.

Esty's Law: Whenever I get the feeling that this RPG is near-dead, and firmly resolve never ever to begin Part 3, posts start rolling in, in a quantity and quality that makes me want to go on forever.

A wonderful post, Saucy! You managed to advance the plot and still insert so many laughs that it was a treat to read! And that at an hour which I would not choose for creative writing - thanks for your great contribution! (sërf-fletting, via VIA, Toll Entrihëa - fun!)

...and no, unfortunately, I've never had the opportunity to see "Eastenders", so your last reference will remain vaguely humorous for me, but not chiming a chord, alas!

You were planning a part three?

Since I think we are going to destroy Muddled Mirth (one way or the other) was this going to be in...

Space, the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Entish Surprise...

(Yes, I know that was lame

)

EDIT: Speaking of lame jokes, before we arrive at Valleyum, I'd like to post one more time. I have a flinchingly, wincingly, nauseatingly bad joke I'd like to get in (stolen from several different media formats no less). So, were we ready to get there, or were we waiting for some of our stragglers to catch up with us?

Completely destroying Muddled-Mirth?!

That's a pretty high goal, even for the specialized experts of the Destruction-Company-Ship! I hadn't dared to hope for such a lofty climax. My thoughts were, when the Ent-That-Was-Broken is reunited, he needs some company - you know, "It is not good that Ent should be alone." So I'd toyed with the idea of Part the Third, The Return of the Entwife, wherein he finds out that she was only gone on a long shopping spree, buying some of those lovely hats with fruit decoration, and finally comes back again. However, if Muddled-Mirth is destroyed...

No problem, you are welcome to post again before we reach the shores of Valleyum, Kuru - Thena will be posting soon, he said, and since we will not proceed with the plot until after Christmas, I'd planned to have the ship arrive in the West the first week of January or so.

And I had proposed that the woody subject of our quest may need some rehabilitation. Perhaps he has amnesia? The title I suggest is The Re-Entification of the Unified Bow.

Kuruharan · 12-06-2004, 07:06 PM

In that case, I'll try to restrain myself.

I'll wait till the end of the week to post.

That happens to be, ever so coincidently, when all my terminals...er, I mean finals are over.

I *am* writing the next post -- real life overwhelmed my weekend, sorry it's not up already -- it should be anytime now...really...no, I mean it this time...
