Ye of little faith. Do you really think I don't have things in store to prevent the game from ending any time soon? It's meant to take at least several weeks, game time, and we're still on day one. No worries.

Actually, one worry. I'm concerned that everybody is going to go overboard within the first few "days" of the game and run out of steam for later on. Please remember that there is plenty of time and you don't all have to complete your adventures on the first day.

[littlemanpoet]

If Day One can end soon, that will help Celuien and me.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I'll post the transition tonight and if I forget anything or anything needs to be edited in, let me know and it can be fixed.

Edit:

Okay, so I lied. I'll not be posting the transition tonight because I'm bone tired and it was affecting my writing negatively. I'll not be posting it tomorrow because I'm sleeping as much as I can and then working from noon until 10ish, after which I'll presumably be as tired as I am now. I'm thinking that Sunday is a maybe, Monday is a definately-if-Sunday-doesn't-work for the transition post.

That means that you guys have a few more days to wrap up any "today" business. Any qualms?

[littlemanpoet]

No qualms here. In fact, I'm getting kinda eager to see what kind of wild antagonisms could be unleashed between Skittles and Anakron yet toDay.

[Lhunardawen]

I was feeling ranty. If the post is out of place, which it could well might be, let me know and I'll delete or edit it accordingly.

Alas! Nichole in ATM I suffered from amnesia and didn't know where she was from or what she used to do before anakronistically arriving in Mordor, though she did have a talent for contacting her author. I'm afraid she would have been quite useless, even if she hadn't vanished in a pair of ruby red slippers and gone home to her mysterious city of metal and glass towers. No place like home, there is.

I though you said he could fix up any of the motley crew should they meet an unfortunate end.

Ah indeed he can, but I wasn't aware Skittles was dead! Hmm, looks like I need to read up a bit.

[Anguirel]

She isn't dead as of my latest post...

EDIT: You got round that very well. Good.

[Kath]

Well she's getting healed now at any rate. She and Igor have left Roggie's chambers and gone back to hers.

Might be a good point to stop actually.

Aw. So do I have to edit out the Nichole part?

No, it's fine. Nichole was probably caught on camera by the reality show that followed the ending of the Offending Party's journey. And her assignments to Mordor and the Shire as Celuien managed to reach Mordor as hacked up wads of paper from Sylvester (eew) - Anakron saw them. So some investigative person might have found out about assigments that peg her as a med student and reported on it as a solved mystery for the Offending Party, letting Maika find out about her identity.

And Nichole has been reassigned to Mordor numerous times since her Dorothy-inspired escape. So who knows? She might be back, even if I did say at one point that she was never seen in Mordor again after her disappearance. Or at least, it would be correct to assume that if anyone knew about her return, Panakeia would.

I'm being a slacker. I'm sorry. Life hit like a shot of Jim Beam and I'm really just trying to find time to get all of my work done. I'll have my saves filled before the weekend is over.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Well played, B88. Nice cop out. See you next weekend[ish].

Hookbill, I plan to move my Alli SAVE so that it comes after B88's post. Can you delete yours and repost it after I have my post up?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

*Salutes* Yes, my lord!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

*takes a look in the mirror*

Ahem.

That's my lady, young hooligan.

PS: thanks.

[littlemanpoet]

On the grounds that I set this thing up in the first place, I hope you can all put up with me trying to keep some of the original stuff (that does not disagree with nor antanoize our beloved Feanor of the Peredhil) that is supposed to be in place:

1. U-haul ought to be italicized, Fea.

2. Hookbill, there is no such place in Mordor as Los Angeles. The place is called Lost Angles.... which should be italicized too. This is a most crucial difference.

3. Mount Zoom should be italicized too.

Oh, and is Mount Zoom going to skidaddle out of Lost Angles?

[Diamond18]

Well, LMP's niggles have emboldened me. I wanted to note that it seems extremely odd for folks like Hyarmenwe to be saying "ok" and seems like grounds for immediate assignment.

Oh, and, who exactly is all in the council room, now?

Can I just say 'LA' instead, then? I'm awfully confused.
