Kitanna, I've tried to build a connection between Hugo, Rudy, Mira, and Peony. Peony's father is Sancho Chubb, and Rufus and Mira's mother is Rosemary Chubb. I suggested that Rosemary and Sancho were sister and brother and that Hugo, my character, was their father. Which would make Peony first cousin to both Rudy and Mira. It also makes Hugo Peony's Gaffer on her father's side. Is that acceptable to you?

If we could get Mira, Rudy and Hugo's posts up by this weekend, that would be great. I will post shortly about Bunny and Tansy making some plans, but we need to get this going just a little faster or we may never meet any Entwives....

I have a first post abuilding, and I'm having fun with it. Mosy, his pony, and Snatch, his dog, are going to add a little pizzazz to Hugo's retirement.

My apologies LMP for completely missing that post about forming a connection (not entirely sure how I managed that), but family ties between Rudy, Mira, and Peony (and let's not forget Hugo) is a very good idea.
I was just floating around for a while trying to figure out a way to bring Peony into the adventure. I thought since Rudy and Mira were Rosemary Chubb's children Peony could be a distant third or forth cousin, but having her be a first cousin works out much better. And also having a friendship with Tansy works out quite nicely.

I was thinking of haveing Mira randomly decide to visit Tansy, and asking Gaffer Hugo to drive her, and "dragging" along Rudy(I haven't had any ideas on why he would accompany us). Maybe, if necassary, we could get Peony too?

I can think of a "typical overbearing older brother" reason: Rudy hears that Bunny's behind the whole thing and rolls his eyes; hears that Tansy is leaving her responsibilities and furrows his brow; hears that his own first cousin Peony who ought to be more sensible is going too; and when Mira says she wants to join, well, that's the last straw! Four hobbit girls off into the wild? Someone more sensible than the lot of them needs to be around to talk some sense into them and protect them. I can see Rudy coming along with these kinds of ideas in mind.

Um, I'm going to try and put up a bit of an introductory post now; if there's anything I need to change, let me know. I'm thinking that Gaffer Hugo is going to want to go along on this little jaunt to prove them all wrong that Entwives exist at all (and secretly hope they do).

Good post.

Thanks.

I have a post, but my writing program is malfunctioning, and I don't have time today to retype it up. I'll get it up tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
