Okay, thanks!

Foley: are you thinking Javan is first going to find Aedre and then search for Raban? If yes, then I think we could write the other kids following him (heh, the only interesting action around there on that morning) - let's see how Javan reacts to them trying to follow him. And anyway, I'd like to see the scene where at least all the boys would end up with Raban, the two more than willing to learn things, and the one who would need to, being less enthusiastic...

Sounds great to me. Yes, he's decided to find Aedre first and then Raban. This'll be fun.

Ack! I'd forgotten that I had a post due for the kids! I'll try post this evening. Maybe for Saeryn, too.

That post was written with extraordinary haste and has not much meat to it. Anyway, it sets the game up for the next meeting - that of Javan and Raban and possibly the other boys, too. Sorry to spoil their fun, but Javan was not about to go asking forgiveness of Aedre with a tail of three busybodies. Hopefully Thornden will see it his way if he gets back before Javan's had a chance to do his talking.

I will attempt to post for Saeryn later. If I do, Nerindel and I will have some opportunity to write some posts together.

I must trot, my break from class is nearly over. Later, folks.

A very nice post for Coen, Dury - only *cough cough* Quin, with whom Hilderinc sparred, is one of Athanar's men as well, he's not from Scarburg...

Durelin, I posted a short post for Thornden. It is not very good, but I didn't know how to initiate conversation between him and Coen. Maybe you can do something with it.

Foley - Feel free to wrap up the conversation as you see fit, or to continue it. I am up for whatever!

I knew when I wrote that post that that question was worded in such a way that Coen could take it any number of ways, good or bad.

I am hoping to post something today sometime, but I'm not sure when.

RL has eaten most of us, it seems. Anyone have a bit of time and interested in moving this ahead? Foley and I can always wrap up our conversation later on.

I guess discovering and dealing with the whole Scyld-Erbrand-Lithor mess is next? Perhaps Coen should meet with Athanar about the drills, to let them know how they went, and Athanar could ask how Lithor behaved or what have you (he was suppoed to be there for them, right?), and Coen will tell him that he wasn't there...?

Edit: Though I guess finding Scyld's the first thing. I guess I really should have had Coen notice he's missing. I'm not doing well with keeping track of people... Okay, so maybe I should have Coen find Scyld first.

Scyrr. Scyrr, Scyrr, Scyrr. Scyrr.

But I am definitely for kicking this up a bit. Let's start moving again. I guess some of the leaders should notice what happened or be informed about it, and then the information can be announced/leaked/whatever and all characters might react to the news.

Later today or tomorrow, when I have time, I might even recheck the thread to refresh my memory and start thinking what to write (and could even write something if nobody seems to be up to it...).

Agreed.

Sorry, but I've been heavily busy lately. It happens every once in a while to me. But I'll try to get something in as well in a day or two.

Anyone wishing to write for her/his character get some fresh information should go for it.

Yeah, that silence was really long. Wow.

I've had a post in the works since Feb. 16 (the last time I posted here on the discussion thread). It was only until today, though, that I summed it up....and it's not even an impressive length.

Durelin, I really want Coenred and Thornden to understand each other, but it sure isn't easy.

*peeks in, looking slightly ashamed*

Me here. My life has been terribly busy for the start of the semester, so I haven't managed to be here almost at all.

Today I decided to spend my few free hours by checking the 'downs so I'm here, but unless I study extra quickly in the evening, don't expect me to post in a week though. (I have an essay due Monday, an exam due Tuesday and a presentation due Wednesday. SICK, I think, especially considering I'm spending the weekend in a training.)

But after Wednesday next week there should be no more deadlines for a while and my second half of the spring semester should be easier as I will have one less course which will basically mean for example no school on Mondays. Then I should be able to catch up with writing properly - weren't you missing Wulfric and Wilheard?

So, looking forward to the latter part of next week! Great that you all have been keeping this thread going, there have been some excellent posts (but sadly I have been unable to rep).

See you guys soon, and that time I shall stick around.
