What the phantom said, minus the Alli. Does Flèin have to find his own way around, or is a van coming?
Internet access might be a little tight for a few days, maybe a week or more. I'll most likely post at least once a day, but won't be as commited as I could be. I'm also busy all next Monday with a Prizegiving ceremony, so no posts then. |

A point of clarity just in case it's needed:
Don't wait for me to post continuations of the van action. I will intervene periodically in each character's story; it's up to you to run with it after that. Sorry for not setting up that expectation earlier. |

After Alli and Sai both post I will bring the whole van incident into my next post, so don't worry lmp, I'm not ignoring it.

Okay, I know I said I'd do it in my next post, but I think I feel the need for our characters to agree to travel together before I toss the van in, so that's when it will happen.

Congratulations... Mardil's got Alli thoroughly confused about the way she feels about him. Should she be annoyed that she has to travel with a noble when she so very much hates the way the government is run? Should she be glad for the protection? Should she admit that she is happy for the help, or deny that she needs it in the first place? Poor Mardil gets to travel with an emotionally confused teenage girl. Lucky him.
Now... bring on the vans.

Fea and Kath, feel free to start us on our way to RCA records. Once there, perhaps we will meet a performer or two who has been assigned to Mordor. Sound good?

Wilhelmina's been acting a bit like a diva... this is too much fun.
 Fea, I talked to the phantom about my idea and he's cool with it. I'll be doing that in my next post, either later tonight or tomorrow. |

Fea and Kath- once we arrive at RCA feel free to pull in any sorts of music or celebs that have been assigned to Mordor, except Britney Spears. I'll take care of her.

Did you notice, tp? There was an undelivered official looking document saying Alli's supposed to be dancing with her.
I daresay that their personalities won't mesh well. And if Mardil gets all infatuated with her, I daresay Alli might *gasp* be upset by it. But will she know if it's jealousy or pure annoyance that he could sink so low? But then again, I think Alli's gonna meet one or two emo kids. We'll see...

Sub-Thread #2: Great Plot Twists & Ideas
This is necessarily a shorter list:
Celuien: orc giving Panakeia a ticket Celuien: the unnerground street musicians scamming sympathetic types - and what a song! Feanor: claustrophobia in the van the phantom: having RCA be close to Edge-where. Clever! the guy who be short: Willy Wonka in Mordor - chortle! |

For anybody having difficulty finding Edgware on the map LMP supplied, may I suggest www.multimap.com. Just type in Edgware, and you're done.
6 points eh? I'll need to work on that... |

Why, thank you, lmp. Writing this and reading all of the great posts from my fellow assignees has been too much fun.
I'm not quite finished with my street musicians yet. If there are no objections from tp, Fea or Kath, they'll be on their way to RCA shortly. But first there's the matter of a little trip through the Potted Ham Court Road station and some conversation to pass the time on the train (probably two more posts).

Well, we're at RCA. Feel free to redo the van trip from your point of view and move us on into the RCA building.
We don't want RCA thugs chasing us throughout the game, so be sure and don't walk out and break the contract. We'll make them back out of the contract.

Sorry I haven't been in today. Things are sort of hectic right now and I only have about 10 minutes at a time to check in. I'll catch up tomorrow when I'm off...
