Looks nice

I have posted my and Folwren's co-post (I think it fits well, but if you want to edit in something, Foley, just tell me). Now I assume it is time (in the soldiers' storyline) when all who play for some soldiers can post their inner thoughts on the matter (I could post something too), or for Coen to announce the departure, or we can make a cut and jump right to the pursuit (and possible inner thoughts of the soldiers could fill part of their ride).

Also, now that I had Áforglaed looking at Scyrr, that could have been a good chance for a brief half-delirious dialogue, if Eorl wished. If not, then Scyrr of course can be just unconscious and that's it.

In any case, if anybody is around, I guess quite many people have now open chance to post - basically everyone, I think.

I'll try to post this weekend before heading back to camp. I'm SO excited to see some movement!

If I do post, it will be definitely for Saeryn, possibly for Quin and Thornden.

I could take on a random soldier as well, just to add some spice. Let's see.

Well, I have Quin, but he's fairly laid back, so I doubt he'll add much spice. I'll see what can be done. I do plan on posting later today.

K, It's Dury's and Mnemosyne's turn.

I am sorry my post is rather brief on all my character's points of views, but I think it will work in carrying it over to the player's characters. Have fun, everyone. Tomorrow afternoon I leave for camp again and prolly won't be back until Friday. But if someone posts tomorrow before I have to leave, there is a chance that I might post something.

Oh, so it's moving again.

And Scyrr still makes no appearance. A pity.

It is moving rather slowly, but I am afraid at least during the summer for many people it will be like that. However, that's no problem.

Concerning Scyrr, however, if you were reading closely, Eorl, you would actually see that I managed to put a chance there for Scyrr to even speak, if you wanted. It is there for already quite some time. You can write of Scyrr noticing Áforglaed in his drowsiness, or even talking to him as much as his condition allows. It will be jumping back from your timeline, but as you can see, we are all still in the middle of the day. There is a chance, you can use it. I said that already back then:

Here you go, the field can be yours, basically.

So I've been lurking for the last week or so and thought I'd get back in on the action after a lot of catching up... it's been a while, hope I'm still welcome.

Of course you're still welcome! Everybody is always welcome! I am ecstatic (sp!) that you're back!

Oh, golly! Suddenly there are whole new possibilities with the boys! I can see it already in my mind - they going out into the woods despite Modtryth's orders and startling a whole search party....hehehehe....I love chaos.

Haha, that would be fun! I had no idea what we might have happen with the search parties, if anything, so it would be great to do something with them. Unless of course the majority just wants to move on from all this.

If you'd like them to run into Coen's riders that could be fun, though I'm not sure if it makes any sense for them to run into each other or not...if we can make it work, why not?

Really good posts, girls. I'm excited about this.

Firefoot, it'd be interesting if Scyld were to be the one to start the ball rolling for people to find out about Thornden's cover up for Lithor and Erbrand. Is that what you're thinking?

Durelin, I hope to post for the boys sometime tonight...? Or tomorrow afternoon.

Folwren - I'm still not quite sure where I'm going with Scyld (actually, I thought about not even bringing him back because I didn't know what to do with him...). I also didn't know what your plans were for Thornden, whether he'd get caught or not. If you want him to get caught, then I can certainly go that direction with Scyld.

Durelin - hope you're recovering ok. I had my wisdom teeth out over Christmas break and it was not fun.

Legate, I'm so glad to see you post! I went ahead and got everyone on horse back. I wrote some about Áforglaed that I hope you don't mind, but if you do, I can, of course change it or take it out.

Durelin, I posted also for Javan. All I ask of you is that you don't kill him on the spot.

This line from your post cracks me up. Leof is SO totally right when he says that! So funny. It is being handled rather badly indeed.

Okay, I've been thinking about Scyld... I think that what I'm going to have him do is approach Athanar and speak in generalities, not point any specific fingers (at least initially - we'll see what kind of questions Athanar might ask)... that can leave the door open for Athanar to pursue his own investigation which could bring out Hilderinc's concerns etc.

For that to happen he's going to want to get Athanar on his own though, and it seems that Athanar is currently speaking with Wynflaed and Saeryn... Scyld isn't likely to interrupt, he wouldn't want it widely known that he's giving possibly sensitive information to Athanar. So I guess I'm wondering about the status of that conversation? It's Mnemosyne's turn to post there, I believe...

Where did the women come into all this? That's just funny.

Hey, Durelin, I'm thinking about how to post for Javan & Co., and I guess there are two choices. Either Javan cam say, "No, never mind. We'll go back without any problem, and you can just go rejoin your company." Or he can put up a fuss. I couldn't decide which and it occurred to me that the decision affected you. So, what would you like to do? Do you want them to refuse to go quietly, or should they just go? And then, likewise, we could play around with the idea of the boys saying, "We'll go back by ourselves, and you can go rejoin your captain" and Feaghall doing so, but the boys changing their minds half way back and turning back around again...but that'd probably be too stupid.

Any thoughts or preferences?

Hi, all. What's going on? Are we going to have any new posts sometime?

Dury and I are working on a co-post together. She's been busy lately, and I'm about to start school, but I'm hoping it doesn't take too much longer.

What about Nogrod, Mnemo, and Lommy and Legate?

I am around here now again, like I said previously on this thread, I am now going to be here until the end of the week and then again not. Not sure what could I post right now, but I am also going to read what you wrote meanwhile. Anyway, I am going to be definitely permanently around from about the second half of September... so after that, I hope also others will be here and that we can move this on in swifter pace
