The King's Players - Discussion/Planning Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

"People do exaggerate so, don't they?"

(I briefly checked the Downs at work during a quiet evening shift and couldn't stop myself laughing out loud when I read Nerwen's last post. Comment from my colleague: "Ah, something happening in the theatre game again?")

And it looks like there's going to be an interesting party at the house of Burlach toNight; bet Aldarion and Vëandur didn't think they'd meet again so soon... Maybe we'll even get some clue about Sador's plans? Up to now, Ang has managed to surprise me every time I thought I was about to figure out what's going on.

Does anybody have a clue where the rest of our company is?

Are we heading to the party soon? I need to get caught up. WW will have to wait a bit.

Anguirel · 05-12-2011, 03:58 PM

yeah, this party should tie up pretty much every secret I've left dangling round Sador...

about the time...could we actually talk about that? According to Aldarion's reply to Sador's letter (which exists only in a PM though I've carefully not deleted it), Aldarion was to be met at "the eleventh bell" - is that actually equivalent to eleven o' clock? If so that seems quite late, but that's fine. Bet it's more complex, though?

Cirdacil and his long lost nephew are to turn up at midnight, and I want an opportunity for quite a bit of action before they do so (though certainly that action could be concentrated into less than an hour's space)

by the way, in case anyone was wondering, Aerwen is the second A. referred to in the scrap Asta found

Ang, the "bell" system is based on the old church bell system, in which each bell stroke is for the number of hours after sunrise: in this case, since we're close to the equinox, we're assuming 6:00. So the eleventh bell would be at 5 p.m.

Great, thank you; glad I decided to stay temporally non-specific (mindful of earlier hang ups when I had to change dusk to dawn etc) and resisted temptation to describe the majestically gleaming Minas Anor starlight...looks like they have more than enough time then, which is perfect really. Chit chat, banquet, then I thought maybe a round of, er, charades

Anyone read Mansfield Park lately?

the phantom · 05-13-2011, 05:35 PM

Ang- you need to tell me if Aerwen truly knows Aldarion's plays. If she does, then whatever answer you dream up for Aerwen to answer Aldarion's question with will serve as confirmation for Aldarion.

Anguirel · 05-13-2011, 07:05 PM

Aerwen is straight as a die (ahem), truthful and well-read, and not her kid brother's extension except in so far as she's agreed to come and grab Aldy

I'll write up a post tomorrow morning but after that may be less active till Sunday nightish
