Good points, LMP. I agree that Thoronmir's response will have to be altered a little. But since Menel's post was up before TB12's, he expected to have to edit it at least a bit. Abarzadan, since he's not familiar really with the rest of the group will have to more or less speak for himself. Although a past acquaintance with Thoronmir could probably help. Perhaps if he said Abarzadan was "no friend of the King" or something like that it would be more convincing, yet reveal less. I also agree that Himaran's post should come immediately after TB12's. If you post it here when it's ready, TB or Pio can paste it into the right place.

Regin- what a nice post that was. Thanks for calling Kathaani on her... arrogance (do I mean arrogance?). She needs to be made to think hard about the consequences of her actions. All of you seem to have a good grip on her character. May showers of rep fall upon you.

OK, I've edited my post to more closely fit Abarzadan's nature (at least, I think it fits better).

Himaran · 03-23-2005, 09:07 AM

I agree; and actually noticed a while back that my post needs to come directly after TB12's. Thus, I will work out my reply, pm it to him, and TB12 can edit it into the bottom of his own post. Then, based on what Abarzadan says, Thoronmir's response can be altered accordingly.

I will be out of town starting Friday afternoon, and will not be back until (I think) sometime on the afternoon of Saturday, April 2. Just thought I'd let you know of my absence.

Easter weekend, I think will be busy for many of us. Have a nice trip, Menel.

After the weekend, I think it's time to push the story along a little bit. We've all had a chance to react to the crisis. So everybody try to wrap up your initial doubts and start thinking about going along with K.

Fea, I think it falls up on you (as the only one with any real authority) to be the one to give the rescue party a boot out the door. I'm not sure how we're going to end up condoning Kathaani's participating in the rescue. Someone should speak for her, I think Tiru or Marsillion would be the best candidates for that.

So, if you'd all be so kind, take a few minutes out of your busy weekend to plan your next post and lets see if we can't get things moving a bit quicker this week.

Thanks

Sophe

Okay, first things first...

Sophia: I think you're right about Inzillomi needing to boot people out. Now that I have a feel for each person's depiction of his/her own character, I think I can post them [well] into the final decision. As for Kathaani... Inzillomi could, in effect, be the one to finally give in, being that she knows just as well as Kath the pain of losing Abarpa. She could end up thinking along the lines of "there's no way that I can go, but Kathaani could go in my place." However, I'd almost rather like Tiru to do it. He knows her abilities and her passion as well as anyone, and it would be a nice show of his "other" side. He's the stableman, yes, but he's also considered family by... the family.

And second things second...

Since I have three lovely days off from the part of life that is school, I plan on writing the post today. However, and this is the big part: I just found out today that I will be unable to access the internet from home for an unknown period of time. Not horrifically long, and I'll be able to use school computers, but this *sob* will drastically limit the amount of time I spend here. So if I don't get a post up today, you'll see it Monday afternoon, 3:30ish. Sorry for the short notice, but I just got told myself. *sniff*

**EDIT**: Change of plans. Apparently my internet is NOT being taken away, which is good. I've posted, and now everybody is officially out of my house *grin*. 'Cept Inzi, Ziraphel, and random other occupants that the King's Men will come for "tomorrow" morning. Tell me if you want anything changed.
