The King's Players - Discussion/Planning Thread

Most chivalrous behaviour on Sador's part!
I considered having Coldan launch himself at Aldarion and grapple for his sword hand (would have been much more consistent and dramatic), but with the bloody-mindedness phantom has been displaying recently, I decided not to take any risks.

I like Variag, by the way. I imagine Dorwinians and Easterlings a bit like Russians and Tatars, respectively, so it's quite fitting.

Aldarion is in fact extremely careful, which is why it would be in character for him to kill someone (if that makes any sense). In other words, he doesn't wish to provoke violence (because of the risks involved to all parties), but he will swiftly attempt to kill or incapacitate (chop off arms/hands) if he is forced into it. Someone else swinging a weapon at him qualifies as "forcing" him into action, as quite clearly someone swinging a weapon at him is an attempt to kill or seriously maim him. Also I strongly suspect he'd give a lady, extremely old person, or child some benefit of doubt in such situations (i.e. he'd defend or use the flat of the blade).

So really, no need to worry about him going on a rampage. He's very business-like with his violence.

Nerwen, when I said that Asta had a "dangerous" look, it could be Thiliel's interpretation and imagination. She could misenterpret any look into what she thinks the look should be.

Just thought I'd say that.

Hopefully Branor's melodramatic, solo performance of the events is amusing. Off to DC and Mount Vernon tomorrow! Yes I'm hyper this morning.

But there are bits of sincerity from Branor. I will add that everything expressed about Therian are Branor's own opinions of the young lad, and may or may not be the same as Therians.

Have a good time in DC, Boro!

I'm also leaving for a while. I'm gonna be away for a week starting on monday. I think I shouldn't have put Thiliel in the middle of everything just before I'd have to be away. If she doesn't finish all her conversations during the weekend, you can use her to do whatever you want.

With B88 out of town this weekend, if anybody needs me, probably the easiest way to get a hold of me is via Facebook. I'm still inundated with Insane Life, but it's getting a lot more manageable, I think. So, for instance, Mnemo, if you wanted Brinn to confront Therian, we might be able to handle it via MSN or PM?

[Mnemosyne]

As previously stated, I'm also out of town, but the hotel has internet. Brinn's not in a hurry to get in touch with Therian right now, because he's not the one currently in a scuffly fight. But she probably will want to talk to him the next day, which will probably be quite a while from now IRL.
