lol...I don't know why, but this scene is so hard for me to write. If Thornden were a woman, I'd know exactly how to write it. Girls are good at prying for emotional information, but I've no idea how to wrie for a guy. Geez.

Anyway, I've posted again.

Far be it from me to make your life difficult, Foley, but it seems to me logical to have Saeryn ask Ginna about the letter as well. Is it feasible?

Elempi, thank you very much for your advice. I will revise my post as you suggested. And I will not make another post for Thornden until you have decided whether or not you'll be re-doing yours. But in the mean time, I'll write a post for Saeryn, because Lhuna said...

There's no need for me to revise my post, upon rereading yours. Carry on!

Oooh boy, after reading the Saeryn post, if I were Ginna I'd burst into tears on the spot. This is getting terribly dire, isn't it?

It is getting extremely exciting, if not dire.

I shouldn't have read this before the actual game! I mean of course given everything that's happening Ginna's right about ready to burst into tears any minute, but I don't want anyone to think you sort of directed that. Anyway, I'm off to read the game thread. This is exciting!

Alright, folks, what's up? We had a great spurt of activity for a matter of four days or so and then naught for over twenty-four hours. Not cool. I notice WW is back in the running. I won't say what I was going to say in respect to that. I hope the Day in that is drawing to a close so some players can come back and post here.

Elempi left an opening for Nogrod in his last post. Of course, Falco was just assuming Athanar wanted to speak. He may not have a speech to give after all. And we're still in the midst of the conversation between Saeryn and Ginna...let's not stall for an indefinite amount of time, now. We want to keep this moving.

Good job of "not" saying it. XD

I have stuff simmering and ready for Harreld but we're not there yet. That's going to take Ginna showing up at the smithy.

Oh, good incentive for Lhuna and I to hurry up and finish our girly conversation.

Legate, I didn't see your post until after I did mine. I'll edit mine to take yours into account.

It seems we're back on track. Good.

lmp: I ended my post with Athanar asking Falco about his friendship with Eodwine. As you have just written it in the dialogue between Falco and Hilderinc, I think you could just take it for granted that he tells it to Athanar (and he listens attentively) and move on to the time after Falco has already told the story... or of course if he won't tell it...

Foley, would I be right in assuming that the darting shadow is Ginna? If so, then she wouldn't be entering the kitchen but leaving it. Or is my understanding that, to get to the smithy from the kitchen, one would need to go through the hall and out of it incorrect?

I love Saeryn's reaction to seeing Thornden, by the way.

Lhuna, there is a door from the kitchen to the outside. I figured Ginna would rather dart through the kitchen with only Kara and Frodides to maybe see her (they probably won't if they're working over the fire or something) than go through the crowded hall. She and Saeryn had been talking in the women's quarters right across the way from the kitchen.

I can chnage Ginna's route if you want.

Indeed? Haha, I really need to review a map of the place. Thanks for that, I'll change my post accordingly.

Lhuna, the girl with no sense of direction

EDIT: Ah, right, there is a door leading out. Say, this map doesn't say where the smithy is...

Huh, I didn't even notice that it was already long. Facebook messaging is misleading. Anyway, I have no problem with that, Elempi. I like that it breaks this...heavy post into parts.

Yeah, well, I don't know if I like it. I like the post, but I don't like the wait to see what happens next.

Elempi, I hope you don't mind that I posted ahead, too.

(I want to drag this out as lengthily and painfully as possible. *evil laughter*)

To whom are you directing that question, Elempi?

I wrote Durelin to ask her about Coen's movements, but I haven't heard back from her. I'm unsure what to do if she doesn't write back. I dont want to hold the game up... I think we still have time, but things are beginning to slow down for the evening.

Okay, a post is up. I started it yesterday morning, and only just now finished it, so it's a little disjointed and doesn't flow as well as I liked. Anyway, they didn't meet in a very good way, Elempi....and I had Saeryn act from her emotions as you suggested the other night. I feel really bad for Thornden.

Thanks, Nogrod.

Legate, I had Coenred approach Hilderinc and then stopped the post there so that you can post something, too, if you so desire.

Oh dear! Athanar and Coen were overheard? Not a good thing. That was quite a humorous post, though, Lommy. It made me laught.

Apparently this little discussion between Athanar and Coen did not turn out quite so private as we first supposed...

Thank you, Elempi. I love it. That's what I hoped Harreld would do, which is why I didn't write Ginna as having actually left.

And it was brilliant to use my words as Ginna's.

Anyway, so I was hoping that in between our Harreld and Ginna posts we would get to read from other characters. What's going on?

I for one have nothing to write. Lommy I think is out of town. Legate probably has little to do. See my post above about Durelin. Nogrod could post, I guess.

Hey, Nogrod you could try writing Durelin. She said she might do a PM constructed post in a previous PM she sent us.
