Ang... doll... could you find it in your heart to maneuver Dracomir and Igör into the hall to rejoin the others? Because that's where they all were in my post.

Kath · 06-11-2006, 04:17 PM

Put Igör where you like for now guys!

Until Friday I am going to be exceedingly busy with exams and doubt I'll have time to post. Just make sure he follows along if the group goes anywhere and I'll be grateful.

If you want an answer to Dracomir's question though Ang, have it go something along the lines of:

"Excuse me but would you mind asking one of the others?" Replied Igör, polite but distracted, before banging his head with a fist. "I'm having a slight problem. The two sides of my brain have just begun a war over who gets to listen to which ear, and as such it's a little difficult to formulate plans."

Audrey just called me a doll. I can now die in peace.

Ahem. I'm confused. Lola and Maika in Lhuna's post are on their way to Roggie, not in the Hall...

I was operating under the assumption that they were walking down a hallway on their way to see Roggie.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-12-2006, 02:33 AM

Roggie has just been given a bout of psamophobia (fear of sand) and is afraid of the Lost Angles beach. Also, I'm thinking of bringing a cameo from Psamathos to further increase this.

Diamond, maybe Skittles could wake him up by accident while surfing.

Yes we are, or were, whichever works. Maika in her utter exasperation and impatience walked out of sorts, remember?

But I am confused. Diamond has the Mordorians all together already, but in Ang's post before that Lola and Maika are still lost. Ang, would you like instead to have Tom pick up Maika's call? It will give him another chance with Lola...

Question originally posed to Elempi. He thought I should post it here...

I noticed Hookbill said that Project Zoom started under Sauron. Now, I get the distinct impression that Mount Zoom is an anakronism. Control rooms, gas, and the like.

But it was said in ATM I that the Dweomer came into effect in Fourth Age 450, after Sauron would have been long gone...

So, is the Dweomer is more ancient than originally realized, accounting for Mount Zoom (along with express trains in the Shire ), and so the the Blue Istari merely happened into a bit of evil magic from ancient times when they started playing with it (If so, that actually gives me an idea for lmp discussion

)? Or is Mount Zoom separate from the Dweomer? Or is there something else? Or should I go away, be quiet and watch things play out?

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-12-2006, 06:25 AM

Come on now, Celuien, haven't you read your textbooks? Mount Zoom surpasses all laws of physics and has been a Middle Earth Legend ever since Sauron dreamt about it!

Lets say that the Zoomology was a Sauron innovation that went nowhere as he didn't have the technology at the time but with the introduction of Dweomer, it became plausible. Hence Smilog being assigned to Mordor.

...

Yeah, that'll do.

Okay. Just wondering.
