Eorling Mead Hall Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Folwren · 12-03-2006, 09:00 AM

It was interesting how crazily the discussion leaped from one subject to the other! Poor Kara! That one part of her reaction to Eodwine asking Saeryn if she would like to marry him was particularly well done. I'd be looking for a way to escape, too!

--

Nogrod and Celuien, I put up a post that ended the discussion amongst us three and had Thornden withdraw. If there was anything else you wanted to say before he left, we can insert it somewhere in my post. I thought you two wanted to do a bit more writing about your fathers trying to figure out what to do with the youngsters, so I decided to end our conversation and go to Lys so that we can end the night in tolerable time. Let me know if I need to fix anything.

Looks good to me Foley!

Celuien: Would you like to continue from here? We should probably exchange a word or two before we go to our children (and have Lommy a chance to come in). Then, at least I think, we should have a late night meeting of the families in one's or other's room. What do you think?

Taralphiel: Could we see Lys coming so well off that the kids might try to join his company? Just inform us when and we will take care to bring him in...

Btw. How old is he? It has somehow avoided my attention...

And overall, do the children know about Lys or is he something like a secret too?

I'll write something later today.

There seems to be plenty of things happening here! Great!

I will try to write a post today, but if I can't, I will write one tomorrow.

Ah, thank you very much for the invitation! As early as the next morning I'd be more than willing to have Lys brought in.

Lys is 14. He's befriended Leof and Javan, older and younger respectively (is that right?) but he would welcome any company, of any age!

Some people about the Hall know of his staying there, but I don't know about all the children. I suppose it depends on when their families arrived at the Hall? I'd probably have to do some back-reading.

Lys has only been wandering around the Hall in the open for a day or two. The children would know of him a little, I'd guess.

Foley: I'm writing a post now. I might even write it in notes at work and have it up tomorrow, as I really like this particular conversation. I've missed writing for Lys!

Yeah but what I replaced was "smell", not "odour"; so there.

Was that the point? I think not.

If you want something, ask for it. Otherwise, behave like a good little student and understand yourself one-upped.

Okay, Jenny.

On that note, is there anything else anybody wants to post on this Day, or are we ready for a new one?

And how much time shall we allow to pass for the new Day? What do your characters need? The very next day? A week foward? A month? A season?

Celuien · 12-04-2006, 08:31 PM

I put up a quick post to bring the Garstan and kids to the meeting. We may need one or two more posts to finish up the night. What do you think, Nogrod and Lommy?

That's alright with me. Though I can't write anything today or tomorrow, so I expect you and Noggie to at least start the conversation. If it seems that I'm preventing the mead hall from moving on, you two others can write all the posts and Noggie can call me (on the phone) and negotiate with me so that I get some of my thoughts into the discussion though I do not write any posts.

I think the two families would like a smaller jump; a day, few days, a week, possibly two weeks; anything that is okay with you others. But the jump just shouldn't be too long for we certainly want to see if the family negotiatons bear any results, good or bad.

Folwren · 12-04-2006, 08:31 PM

Tara said above that she is hoping to get a post in for this Day.

<- Hopeful grin.

And I would like to go to somewhere in the near future. Not too long, you know.

Points out that in collaborative writing, it's not so much a teacher/student relationship as it is one between colleagues.

Since when are you taking me seriously about that? Oh, I forgot, you're a student in real life.

Finally posted up for Lin...my to be continued certainly took longer than I'd thought. LMP, feel free to ignore my "tomorrow" deadline. I can easily write her response to Imrahil in flashback.
