Well, then, we shall wander . . .

SAVE filled, rather late. Sorry.

Fea, I need you to play with, I suppose...

The rest of you...if you want to have some amusing dangers in your search, put your ideas here or asking me to do some rummaging in the pool of concepts I have for this game.

Are we planning to play Blind Man's Bluff all night, or snatch a bit of rest? If so, I think it likely Malris and Tasa will need to sleep a bit before chancing the labyrinth.

I'm here, I promise. I know I've been a slacker, but midterms are now over, as is my [too short] vacation. I'm back, just like Sam.

PS: Tasa seems to be in a bad mood.

I just want to let you all know that I haven't disappeared or anything - my life is really busy right now. Other than sleeping I think I spent about 6 hours at home this weekend. I'm really going to try to have a post up sometime early this week as my schedule allows, but if I can't, please feel free to carry Lomwe along. I'd say he's quite ready to leave, even eager to get out of this place.

Ang

Don't we need to wrap this story up? My gut feeling is that we've reached a point where we need to meet up with you and Tasa and then go our separate ways--some west and some east.

I am thinking that others may feel this way too, which is why the thread has lain dormant for a number of days.

Could we start taking steps in that direction? What do you have in mind that we should do to bring the story to its ending scenes? I'll be glad to post but at this point I'm a wee bit uncertain what you'd like us to do.

Please advise.....

P.S. Just an aside, but I've really enjoyed this story and all the excellent writing, both yours and other posters. I just want to make sure we bring things through to the end.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-03-2006, 02:47 PM

I'm around (though I shouldn't say that, since I'm out of town for the weekend starting a few hours from now). I just haven't posted since I'm waiting for a Malris response to Tasa's "No."

Anguirel · 03-03-2006, 02:50 PM

Well...ah...pio and I were planning rather longer mileage. I've PMed her concerned about its length and wondering if I should condense the plot, but she said to keep things as they were.

I must tell you, I have many ideas in store still and was unaware of plans to end this. Frolics still await.

I suppose it comes down to a decision of the players, but I for one am still enjoying this, and am surprised by this turn of events...

piosenniel · 03-03-2006, 03:00 PM

Can we get yours and Fea's storyline kicked into gear, then?

& we do need some direction to the other four of us players. I don't want to simply invent an adventure for us while we wait. We're in 'search' mode at the moment - can we stay there until Malris and Tasa find us? Or . . .
