Golden Perch Discussion Thread

[Mithalwen]

I asked before I brought in Elin and in post 920 , Foley reckoned it was after 10 maybe time for elevenses early lunch. However Hamwill and Al had their spat and Iris and Rowan their heart to heart before my pair made their entrance and since then they have had second breakfast /elevenses and the meal has been prepared. So I think you are fine. Can't be much before noon at the earliest and I don't suppose that hobbits who have been up early and working hard go in for late lunches (unless it is a second helping)!

[Undómë]

I officially declared it lunchtime in my post

pio

I placed Penny in the common room clearing a table at the moment. Let me know if I need to change anything

[Durelin]

Gonna pop in with a new character since I have some time this week...I'll post on the Inn thread shortly. I am not going to try to figure out where everyone is so I apologize for being purposefully vague and if I make any glaring mistakes! Also hope the bio is okay... >_> Edit: Leaving it up to Pio and Undome which one of your Hobbit serving maids Reginald is addressing...or he could be addressing someone he thinks is a serving maid but really isn't....


Name: Reginald Smyth
Age: Late 20s
Race: Man of Bree
Gender: Male

Weapons: A good hunting knife

Appearance: Of fairly average height (about 5’6” or 7”), solid build, reddish-blonde hair kept short. Light on the facial hair, making him look maybe younger than he is. Brown eyes. He has creases at his eyes from laughter and squinting. Squints pretty often as he hasn’t the best eye sight. He has a handsome grin. He wears a light linen shirt (sometimes with a dark blue vest), dark grey pants, and dark brown boots. He has a brown cloak and a satchel.

Personality: When it comes to the rule of ‘fight or flight,’ Reginald will pretty much always choose flight. Who knows how well he might stand in an actual fight, but Reginald avoids confrontation and responsibility. He has his share of guilt, which usually encourages his flight rather than makes him stay. He is a well-tempered man; it takes a lot to anger him, and then his anger is usually expressed in more passive ways. He shuts down, rather than lashes out. He loves a good laugh, a good joke. He’s a light-weight of a drinker. Give him a drink or two and he’ll be talking and giggling for the rest of the night.

History: Reginald has recently started on a journey. So far he has only had the courage to travel into Shire lands rather than far to the east and south into the great lands such as Rohan and Gondor. His reason for journeying is fleeing from disgrace. He married on the cusp of 20 or so, at his parent’s bidding. After over 5 years of a barren marriage, his parents also convinced him to put aside his wife – something which, even if he had a firm enough backbone to refuse and endure his parents’ disapproval, he did not entirely object to because he had not been pleased with the marriage in the first place. Once separated, he managed to stall for a time a second marriage, only for his former wife to remarry and very quickly have a child with her new husband.

Granny Greenhill has come for a visit to the Perch. Can someone give her an assist with the danged door, please?

[Galadriel55]

Sure! Al'll do it. He has nothing to do anyways.

[Folwren]

Wow, this place has been busy! I forgot to say I wasn't going to be much available over the weekend, but apparently that wasn't necessary.

Welcome back, Durelin and Rose! Glad to see you two playing again.

I don't know if I'll be able to post today, but I have read all the posts up to date.

[Galadriel55]

Well, I helped Granny. Foley and Rose - I hope you don't mind that I used your characters. If you want me to change something in my post, I will.

[Folwren]

Okay, I was mistaken. I can't post now. Later, folks.

[Galadriel55]

I haven't posted anything for a while, because there's nothing really to post about. Al's just eating his food. It would be a waste of posts to talk for 2 paragrahs about how much he enjoyed the meal.

If you want interaction with him, feel free to start coversation, or tell me and I'll move Al over to your character.

[Galadriel55]

It's been long since anyone posted in the Inn, myself included. I hold RL to blame.

[Mithalwen]

Sorry I had a succession of RL annoyances and distractions and then Wight Fright took priority but I shall post in a few hours and get Elin at least back into circulation.

[Folwren]

Geez, that little stuck-up Al is really getting on my nerves. He's great, though, if only because he's such an irratating hobbit. I think what bugged me most was Elin trying to appease him. Elin's too sweet to be bullied by Al's over-sized ego. I'm loving it.

I'm excited you all are writing. Sorry I haven't been participating much. I am keeping an eye on things, though, as you might guess from this post.

He kind of get on mine too, sometimes, but he's fun to write.

Now how did the Perch turn into a McDonald's?

Al's ego is definitely oversized. It is sad and funny at the same time to read Elin's thoughts about him, if you don't mind me saying so.


Mith, if Al is bothering you, I can make him behave himself, or leave to get more food or something...

[Mithalwen]

Don't worry it is quite an interesting challenge. I just think it is funny that Elin who has, in a relatively short life, mixed with a vast range of people living on a farm and a garrison as well as at the court of Dol Amroth and with the elves - and would aim to be as courteous to a dustman as to a duke, is being stretched socially to the limit by this bumptious hobbit. I don't think she would be one for strong liquor even if the hobbits distilled it but I suspect she may feel like a nice glass of wine more than tea!

Oh and it is always refreshing and interesting when someone plays an unsympathetic character. So Bravo!

[Galadriel55]

If you say so.

I'll have time to reply today evening, and I'm trying to think of where to lead the conversation. Talk about Buckland is ok but it doesn't lead anywhere. Any preferences about this?
