 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? Last edited by littlemanpoet; 05-01-2011 at 05:40 PM. |

No...but it's still exciting.

Elempi, I added something for Thornden at the end of my last post on the game thread. If you think Harreld would respond to what Thornden said before leaving, then I can edit the end of my post to reflect that.
I don't like Javan being rewarded with coin. I think if Thornden was not so tired and had been thinking about it and also had not been worried about Harreld, he would have said something. Anyway, I doubt Javan will accept another silver piece. -- Foley

Foley, I'm glad you took out the parenthesis apology.
I was shocked that the post was not a PM post you both put together! Such sensitive writing! Foley this is one of your best pieces of writing (the only better one I can think of is about a coma...). |

lol...Elempi...I appreciate your praise, but it was a PM post, I just didn't have time to post up here on the discussion thread that it was.
I liked this post a lot, too. When we were done, Lhuna mentioned this was the first time we'd written together and she said she hopes we get to do it again soon. I hope so, too.

Awww Elempi, you're too kind.
 The post would have gone on longer, but it was getting late for me by then. No, actually, I just wanted to leave it hanging like that. It was awesome to write that with Foley, particularly because it was rather spontaneous - I must say, nothing says spontaneous RP writing to me like doing it on Facebook! But I'm pleased with what came out of it, and I certainly hope to do it again. Maybe three-way next time.

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. -- Foley

Even the game is silent (in my opinion), and only Nogrod and I signed up for it, so I don't think it's to blame...
I'm getting my post ready right now. Quote:

I was not thinking so much of moody as... playing hard-to-get. And such pride!
It's up. The parts I wrote feel rushed to me, but there you have it. |

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... Last edited by Lhunardawen; 05-09-2011 at 10:48 AM. |

No...when I created it, I wasn't thinking about the smithy. It would be on the same side as the stables, I think, because horses would often be going there for their shoes to be taken on or off, but set apart, so there'd be no risk of fire and such.
What page is the map on, by the way? Iwant to look it up, too. -- Folwren

Oh, by the way, this means Thornden couldn't have seen Ginna leave because the room where she and Saeryn came from is right above the kitchen.
Also, Elempi and I are PM-building a post for Ginna and Harreld. EDIT: Scrap that, the quarters are beside the kitchen, not above it, so there's still a chance to be seen. |

The Ginna-Harreld post is already long, so I decided to post up what's done so far. Hope that's okay, Lhuna.

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.
