Glad to have aided you, Lhuna.

Maybe Randver is Ginna's Mom in disguise.

Kath, just incase you haven't seen the post, Erbrand has asked Kara to dance with him. Whenever you are ready, you may post a reply.

I think Ginna's mum just can't shut up in her grave and keeps on channelling her baser motherly feelings towards her husband.
This was posted while finishing lab report number 5 and almost starting on oral report number 1, both of which are due in 5.5 hours. Writer just woke up from a nap and is still very sleepy. Oh, quite needless to say, my brain's turned to mush right now so even if I would really really love to have Rand respond right at this moment, I can't. Please wait with me until a bit of my sanity returns. Last edited by Lhunardawen; 02-04-2009 at 01:17 PM. |

Oh sorry Groin! (Ha, nearly called you Erbrand there.
) I did see that but forgot in the meantime. I will try to get a reply up tonight or tomorrow.

I've been neglecting this thread for a while (and if it comforts you guys, I have been neglecting all my other RPG commitments as well
 ) but now I'm back and it all looks great. I'll see if there's anything interesting I can come up with for Modtryth, or if I can/want to continue with the boys&co.

Lhuna asked me if she and I should do a PM built post, and I was fine with whatever she felt she needed. I haven't heard back yet. So we're waiting there.

Funny post, Foley. Just one problem: Eodwine has already introduced Rand and Saeryn to each other in my last post. I can either change that or you will need to alter your post ... unless you want Saeryn to have sudden short term memory loss......

I had read your post. Really, I had. I got the impression that all he did was walk up to her and say to Rand, "I'm robbing the cradle." I thought Eodwine was just having a lapse of manners 'cause he was so excited. I guess I'll go back and read it again...
EDIT: Ooooohhh! I see it now! That's funny, because when I first read your post, I saw it. And then when I re-read it to write a reply, I missed it and wrote according to my second reading. Bah humbug. I'll fix it.

 I haven't managed to do anything and now it looks like I'm going to be busy again... blah... I will try to take time for this RPG because I feel stupid since I'm being so inactive.

Hey, Foley and LMP,
would it occur to Saeryn or Eodwine to charge Modtryth with some arrangements? After all, she's been some jack-of-all-trades household organiser and she is not needed in the kitchens like the other women are. If you drag her into this mess somehow I will be forced to write for her. Otherwise I can always excuse myself by saying "I'm busy and the Mead Hall can do without Modtryth for a while".

Sure! It'll occur to one of them.
 We really want you to post.

Perhaps Lithor could use her to help in the ceremonial stuff like carrying a standard, sword, or something along those lines. I'll look into what else needs to be done for the wedding. If any of y'all come up with a better idea you can post. I'm just thinking out loud here.
 I'll get back to you on this.

It's my fault for disappearing again, but I need a little favour, Elempi. Do you mind if you take Randvér with Eodwine when he goes to see Harreld, instead of letting him look for Ginna? I was hoping to let Rand and Harreld talk that way.

Okay, Rand will stick with Eodwine for a while. I'll fix my last post.
Post edited, with a smidgeon of heightened tension.

Thanks, Elempi.
Ooh, I'm so tempted to post with Randvér saying something like, "Indeed? And what must I know about this Harreld?" while in truth he's thinking How come you never mentioned him, Eodwine? But I think I'll just let him go straight to the smith. Better that way; Harreld gets no warning whatsoever.

Ha! There, I've posted, and brought it right up to the point of conflict (or at least where conflict can begin). Not to mention, I've brought Modtryth's name into the mix, so we're preparing to drag Lommy into the preparations.

Lhuna!
Hey Lhuna! Oh LooooOOOOOOOna! It's your turn. Please take it soon. Like real soon. Is that enough pressure? Or would it help if I threaten to write Rand for you and make him be intimidated by Harreld and take a liking to him and offer his daughter to be Harreld's bride?

If it is alright, I'll have a post up for Lithor and his gang later tonight. They can get started with putting up all the stuff for the wedding. Unless there are any objections, I'll have the gang turn to Modryth for directions.

Aiee you guys truly are dragging me into this.
The only problem is that I can't write anything now (and I've been terribly busy with... partying since school's ending - in a way, a long thing to explain) and I'm going to a summer cottage tomorrow to lock myself up to stufy for my final exams... but I'll be back for the weekend so I can write on Friday or Saturday. I hope that's not too late. PS. Nog says you'll hear from him in a day or two.

Really no pressure there, Elempi.
I'm really sorry, I'm having crazy weeks left until graduation, what with med school interviews and thesis and lots of lab reports and other things I would not enumerate for your sake. I'll try to post before this week ends. No promises, but I'll do my best. Sorry guys. |

I hope that what I wrote is ok. If it's not, you can ignore the un-ok parts and I can edit once I come back, ie next weekend.

I posted, but it is a rather ambiguous post. I didn't want to put any words or ideas into Modtryth's or Eodwine's mouths, and hence I said very little.
 And so, I decided I should put my ideas here so that people can add to them or modify them at will! The lantern idea I had Saeryn mention was something like this: I can picture the lanters being set up on tall poles (about four to five feet high). They can either be arranged in rows, making aisles that go up and down, where (in a modern wedding) the bride might walk up between them. Or, they could be in a circle and the ceremony and the witnesses/guests/spectators (what are they called at weddings?) would stand within the ring of lanterns. Then we can have torches born by some of the men in a half circle around Eodwine and Saeryn as they exchange their vows. I think both Saeryn and Rowenna should wear veils. I have no idea if it would be appropriate in Rohan, but I have heard (and I rather like the legend) that the bride and her bridesmaids would wear veils so that the fairies and evil spirits wouldn't know which woman was the bride, so they couldn't spirit her away! This might be silly, but after the hand-fasting, as they walk back up through the people, can all the men at arms unsheath their swords and form an arch or a lane over the newly weds? Should the people have rice or something to throw at them as they run back through? After the celebration and feast and when all the dancing and fun is over, can Eodwine and Saeryn ride off somewhere? I just like the idea of galloping off in the middle of the night on horseback. That's all I can think of at this point. I still don't know what to do about a ring for Eodwine.

Nice work on your post Kath! If it is alright with you, I am going to have Erbrand and Kara (almost wrote Kath
) involved in a conversation with LMP's new character. Perhaps they can discover some new facts about him. I will get a post up for Erbrand, plus Lithor and his boys, tomorrow.Quote:

I like every one of your ideas for the wedding, Foley - just let's make it grain instead of rice, ok?
And my new character, Eodwemer, can serve as the wedding solemnizer, being the eldest person present. One question - do you want the riding romp (in which the wedding pair have to outrace everybody else) to happen before or after the dancing and riddling? By the by, if the chasers can be on horseback for the chase, then the best man and best woman must serve as rearguard. This could be fun! EDIT: Oh, and let's make it a circle as they didn't have churches with aisles.

I hate to say it but we may have to go ahead with things and let the Rand-Ginna-Harreld bit be posted retrospectively. Carry on!
