Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread

[Folwren]

Me, too. It seems to me Eodwine has a lot of stubbornness to wade throgh today.

[littlemanpoet]

Indeed, to both of you, Foley & Lhuna. But I don't like to double post so somebody needs to write something so I can again.

[Folwren]

Oh! Why you! It's a bribe, or at least a threat! Sneaky, sneaky.

[Folwren]

Woah, Elempi, you double posted. I really did mean to post. I honestly haven't been writing unless forced recently, because I don't have that much sit-down time. I maybe can post later this afternoon, though.

Well, a 3 day wait was long enough. It's Saturday, I actually have more time ... and we'll have to see about Garreth's new "issues".

[Folwren]

Yeah, I know, I feel bad about the three day wait.

[littlemanpoet]

You should. You're a bad bad person. And you're a bad bad co-rpg writer. You owe me bunches of posts.

[Lhunardawen]

I thought I could feel some frustration seeping out from the monitor as I read that second post...

I love it, Elempi. Eodwine, you rock.

Thanks, Lhuna. Eodwine thanks you, too. Whose frustration, if I may ask, was doing the seeping?

Bunches of posts? What bunches of posts would that be?

Garreth's. He needs some girl to come knock him over the head for dissing their entire sex so thoroughly. Not really, but he sure is embittered towards them.

[Folwren]

The problem is, I don't know what to post. Anybody want to interract with any of my characters?

Just one, really.

Hmm.... I am detecting a sort of apartheid of the sexes at Scarburg, or else the men and women characters would be interacting more readily. How did this happen?

what do you mean?

I mean that Eodwine and Thornden are the only two male characters that have had anything to say/do with the female characters in the last who knows how many posts. There used to be a lot of interaction between male and female characters - now it's rare.

[Folwren]

Wow, Gwathagor! You're back. I'm glad to see you've returned.

Hi, Legate, I'm excited to see you back in the writing mood again. I could tell you what has transpired, but I'm not sure where you left. I'll look into that and then let you know, if I have any computer time today.

Elempi, I'm aware you told my sister last night or something that I still owe you a post....sorry...still haven't got any ideas about what to write.

And I didn't notice that Frodo made an unexpected appearance in Scarburg. That could've been fun.

That's very kind of you, but you don't have to, Foley I basically need to catch up with everything since Eodwine and Saeryn met when he was arriving, but I am starting with it just now... let's see how much I manage in one reading... so more like, I might be interested if there are any hidden agendas brewing in the background, something that won't be apparent from the game thread itself...

[Firefoot]

I need to get Scyld back into action as well... time for him to go stir something up with someone, I guess. Anyone interested?

[littlemanpoet]

I can see Crabannan and Garreth developing a gruff amicability...

I s'pose there's always Rowenna, but we may want to save that for later.

Yeah, I could see that.

Also, conflict! More conflict!

Crabannan may have deserted from the Rohirrim (under what circumstances, I can't recall) and he also seems to think he recognizes Hilderinc from that period.

If there's nobody better, Hilderinc could possibly serve that purpose as well. Maybe also him being the quieter type, Scyld won't be as much afraid of exposing himself, as he seems to with most people (to be honest, I don't have much of a clear picture of Scyld's character, but then I think I got the main point and anyway, maybe I don't need to know more than my characters do. Or if I do, I can always be informed by you or something).

That said, I am still only a bit more than halfway through of what had happened since Eodwine's arrival, but it seems to be very entertatining this far And unless there comes something totally groundbreaking in the last couple of posts, I think Hilderinc will be ready to face anybody approaching him or whatever. (And if nobody wants to approach him after all, then I will probably post for him myself anyway, after I finish reading the rest of the posts, hopefully by tomorrow.)

Oh yes, I see. I recall Crabannan thinking some stuff about his past earlier and somesuch (Hilderinc himself considers Crabannan rather mysterious, as much as I recall, and Crabannan seemed to avoid discussion with him several times, even though it might have been just a set of coincidences). Whatever - if you ever wish to elaborate on that, though, we can just double-check that you are not "off" of Hilderinc's past timeline or such (I can brief you more about that, if need be). But it's no big matter, I assume. And of course in case of conflict of data we can always say that memory is faulty, or that it wasn't Hilderinc at all whom Crabannan remembers.

Actually, my question was not exactly aimed at this, really, as I posted it before I have read the thread, it was more like a preemptive question in case some event or clash or whatever was expected or debated in the discussion thread, yet not mentioned on the game thread itself (as I am not really planning to go through all the discussion posts I've missed) - just so that I won't be surprised if something important happened.

[Gwathagor]

Yeah, I don't know whether or not it will turn into anything. But there it is.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Yes, that's what it more or less seemed to me as well. So whether, whenever, it's all up to you.

I'm still rather amused at the dramas taking place in Scarburg as I read the thread, getting just better and better I pity I haven't been present when it all was happening.

[Folwren]

Eodwine, I put some words in Rowenna's mouth. Let me know if I should change anything.

Almost class time, I must run. I'll post for Quin later, either tonight or tomorrow, hopefully.

I am LMP or Elempi, Foley.

Funny post. I'll wait a while before I write one to follow it. I need the time to think through how Eodwine would perceive her strange behavior.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Didn't this happen before, actually? Wasn't it even Folwren who did that?

[littlemanpoet]

Your turn Saeryn.

Yes, that's on purpose.

[Folwren]

Originally Posted by littlemanpoet

And I didn't even notice until the third or fourth time reading it.

Okay, I posted. I won't bother to apologize about it being rough and all because you'll just say "It's fine", but I think it's lame. Anyway, the important thing is that she said what I wanted her to say. Eodwine sure does know his wife.

Elempi, if you respond tonight or tomorrow morning, I should be able to post before too late tomorrow afternoon, but this weekend my internet will be spotty.

-- Folwren

P.S. I want to add, in case you're wondering and thinking about it: as the writer, I personally do not want them to stick around with Rowenna. I'd much rather write it between Eodwine and Saeryn alone. I just wrote what I did because that's most like Saeryn........So I guess that means you'll have to write what's most like Eodwine. Never mind.

[littlemanpoet]

Exactly who is this Quin fellow? Seems to me he's channeling Thornden.

There's no rush. I need to think about how Eodwine would react to that. Kind of funny how Saeryn's lumping her husband in with men.

[Folwren]

Okay, so what's really funny about this line is that when I first read the post, I didn't see this part, but my first thought was, "Ooooh, what if she doesn't want to go and tries to make him stay and talk it out there?" So, when I got back on today and checked the post again and I saw the last line, I said to myself, "Did he edit that in after reading my mind?"

Anyway...post comin' up.

-- Foley

[littlemanpoet]

I must say, I can really appreciate Léof's perspective on this little Mead-Hall situation. Apparently, Saeryn doesn't understand that her husband is not the type to force his will on her. We shall see how this goes, eh?

I think she knows that for real, but right now she doesn't see it. As I was writing my last post, I wanted to find a way to say somehow that she's unwittingly comparing him to other men she's dealt with - her brother, Athanar, the landlords - who are much more likely to force their wills on her than Eodwine. However, that was impossible because she wouldn't see it for herself, so I couldn't write it as part of her reflections or thoughts.

So now you know what at least I am thinking.

-- Folwren

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Gwath, that was a nice bit of spice to indeed "stir" the dialogue (the word "kick" would have been better). My initial reaction was that Hilderinc would probably hit Crabannan with something

I think anybody can pick up on that... on anything that's happened, anyway... I think the people can't be oblivious to such outbursts from two people in a row at least inside their heads

[Folwren]

I edited my last post to incorporate some stuff Elempi asked me to add.

Please remember to remove signatures from all posts to the Meadhall RPG thread.

Thanks!

Thanks. I've been forgetting to do that.

When I read this, after my first initial thought (which I won't post), my second thougt was, "Oh, why do I have such evil ideas?" I hereby promise I will not try to arrange some disaster.

[Gwathagor]

Anything could happen...

[littlemanpoet]

I will be on vacation until 9/19 with no internet access. I hope to see some more on the thread when I get back.

[Firefoot]

I'm not totally happy with my post for Scyld, but I wanted to keep the conversation moving. I thought about continuing it longer but realized I wasn't totally sure how the others would respond to a (somewhat inappropriate?) jest on Scyld's part, so I let it hang... if it's too difficult a hook to work with I can add more in.
