I'll try to get something in within the weekend, with Ginna asking the kitchen women stuff about Saeryn, and maybe ending with her serving Dan breakfast.

Thinlómien · 05-09-2008, 02:35 PM

Thanks Elempi for writing the latest - I was slightly unsure what Modtryth should do and you solved it for me.

Now I'll write it from her perspective and make her reply Javan first, of course.

Thinlómien · 05-09-2008, 03:23 PM

I wrote a post and it ended up being longer than I expected. Well, I guess that's not bad. I had some problems with deciding which tense I should use as I'm going back for a while and thought using past simple might be slightly confusing. I ended up switching the tense rather unelegantly in the middle. If you have suggestions how to make it better, please share...

You're welcome, Lommy.

I was a little concerned about so flagrantly taking control of your character, but it seems to have worked out for the best. Good.

I've quit coming to the Barrowdowns three times a day; now it's only once a day, if that. This has served to greatly (but not completely) reduce my frustration at the slow pace of posting at this and my other 3 rpg commitments. Hard to believe that not a one of them has as yet concluded, and I gave my announcement of leaving, what, two months ago?

It's as if you're all trying to keep my around!

Be warned - if posting doesn't start picking up its pace to some degree, I'll start killing off some of my characters.

EDIT: Well! Three posts since I last looked. Nice going, friends! Perhaps my above words were after all unnecessary.

I was WONDERING what you were going on about.

Folwren · 05-15-2008, 07:49 AM

Is Javan assigned a job, or does he get to choose?

He will be assigned a job. What job do you think he should be assigned?

With Stigend timbering?
With Leof making animal pens?
With the hunters?
With the kitchen crew?
With those building tents?

Folwren · 05-16-2008, 09:07 PM

So, Elempi, as you haven't made any answer or decision, I'm just going to say that Javan was assigned to helping with the tents. Is this alright? I hope to post for Saeryn and Javan and maybe Thornden, even, tomorrow.

littlemanpoet · 05-17-2008, 08:37 AM

Fine with me. I may be current facilitator of this rpg, but that doesn't mean I should make many (or any?) of the decisions for your characters. It's really up to you what Javan is assigned to do. So tents is fine, of course.

Folwren · 05-17-2008, 09:21 PM

Lommy, I apologize. I WAS going to post for Saeryn, I even sat down and wrote the first couple words, but then I realized I couldn't...I didn't have anything to write, as it's all based off of Modtryth and Rowenna and Saeryn's just there, half sensible, for now. So, I'm waiting for you to post.

I did, however, write something for Javan. He's looking for Cnebba and Garmund, and I think you're the only one who really knows where they are - unless Nogrod wants to decide.

So, I just wanted to let you know where I was on things.

-- Folwren

P.S. For anyone who's wondering, I did PM Lommy and answered her question in her last post. I'm not just refusing to let her know how Saeryn is doing.

Gwathagor · 05-18-2008, 01:16 AM

...and hellooo Scarburg Meadhall.

Time to work on a character bio.

Nogrod is currently in Romania and I doubt he will post anything in a week...

The last time I saw the boys, Dan was telling them a story and they were somewhere relatively close to the kitchen area. Now Dan has left and I have no idea where they are, or what they're up to...

If you wish to post more for Javan and want to make him find the younger boys, just go on and invent something. We can also do so that when I (probably) write later today for Modtryth, I also write something for Cnebba (and Garmund) and you can continue from that...

So you see.. the quickness or slowness is in the eye of the beholder...

But yes I've been more than happy with your "slow pace" of leaving. My next weeks will be full indeed but after that there will the bliss of the vacation lasting two and half months! If you think it is okay I will then start taking over the Mead Hall. If you still wish to keep this place or just to cling in I have nothing against it. On the contrary. Just tell me when you're going to ease up visiting the 'Downs or if you will backtrack your decision in the first place - which would be great indeed. I'd love to see you do the backtracking as I feel this Mead Hall is yours to the bone. But if you really think you will leave then tell us when you will do it. Hopefully not soon...

I just can't see you quitting this lmp... Don't fool yourself. You love this and you should stick to the things you love in your life whatever doubts you have.

Sorry to disappoint, but as much as I love doing this, it's a matter of obedience to a higher power. I'd be a fool to disobey.

Lommy,

Ah. There's no arguing with that. Still -
