Wait a minute! You mean the guy gets away scot free and the girls end up in Mandos. Leave it to a man.....

Giledhel will elect to stay in Mandos Halls. She has some business to attend to.

I don't see why Tasa would go to Mandos at all - unless she's planning on dying . . .

That was the possibility I was referring to.

Tasa's one of those characters who will make things more tragic if they die, whereas if Malris died no one would mind that much, least of all him. So I think it's more likely to happen that way round...

Incidentally, Giledhel's father is in Mandos for his part in the rebellion of the Noldor; I doubt he'd have earned an early release like Finrod...

I'm uncertain that I'll actually kill her... the last character I tried to kill made an emotional wreck of me. Or maybe it was because I was trying to do it during finals week...

In any case, you hit it right on, Ang, with the way that something about Tasa is inherently tragic.

Pio: I'm dying to know what that unfinished business is.

Everyone who cares: I saw Blithe Spirit last night. Amusing.

It's exactly the same situation, isn't it? Amazing! We even had a Madame Arcati with the Diviner...

I try and do Greek tragedy and end up with Noel Coward...

Pio, Envinyatar,

You'd both better take a look at this! My post for Mandos presents your characters in a certain way. If you're not comfortable with that, let me know and I'll try and edit.

I could really get into this Mandos thing.. The stern voice and the scepter seem like a great way to discipline kids.

All my delusions of maternal grandeur are finally fulfilled. I wonder if there's any job openings in the Halls of Mandos?

Goodness...Malris would be astonished to know that the Doomsman of the Valar is effectively taking his side...
