So is there any need for me to wait for Folwren and Manwe to post or may I just continue?

No, no, no. Don't wait for Manwe or me. You have no obligation to wait for anybody unless you are in discussion with him. That is...so long as you don't move time forward.

By the bye....are people still thinking it's morning? I guess it could be mid-morning by now...but I don't think it's too late in the day yet.

What splendid goings on! A question to you Folwren, have you had Dick recognise Limaris as a Ranger? If so then fine (I was hoping he might), it means I have partly failed my intended mission, but do you think you would be able to hide this fact from Limaris.

And if you have not then even better! I've not failed.

Well...in my narrating, I have referred to him a couple times as a ranger. However, I can change that easily enough and make it so that Dick doesn't know. He doesn't have to know. What do you prefer?

I can also make it so that Dick doesn't say anything about it, so that it won't be obvious that he knows.

I will write a post hopefully later this afternoon. (It's about noon for me now.)

I had noticed your references to Limaris as a 'Ranger' that was why I had asked. I don't want to dictate to you lol! Though I would ask if you would let Limaris have his little moment of triumph having successfully passed himself off as someone other than a Ranger.

Thanks! And I have to add I am greatly enjoying the RPG so far!

Manwe, I am about to make a post. It will be up in a few minutes. When I do that, I will also make those edits in my previous posts about the ranger thing.

Tevildo and Mormegil, if you like, I can play another one of those twelve kiddeos in the Dwarf's neighboring room.

Sounds fun, though I think this may present a fun challenge for me. I have a draft prepared for my next post though I may overhaul the whole thing. I wanted to talk to you both about how far if at all should I take the Bilbo story? I'm not familiar with what to do in these situations, please advise.

Sorry the post is so short, Manwe. Couldn't think of anything further. I wanted to have Dick smoke you out, but I decided Limaris hadn't said anything too pushy enough yet. Oh well.

If there's any particular direction you want the conversation to go, but you can't do it with your character and need Dick to lead, you can let me know and I'll see about it.

Welcome, Dunwen! Introduce your character whenever you like in the inn. If you have any questions, you can either ask them here, or PM me or Piosenniel.

Aye, I wanted the conversation to start off slow, though I have a few ideas involving Kuric, should [mormegil] wish to play along [including everyone in the Inn, though that will occur on their own accord of course. No Godmodding here! ]. I'll interrogate Dick a bit harder though. The post is fine, I think it fits with a flowing and 'standard' conversation between two folk who have just met.

Don't you think?

Excellent. Yes, I think it works. I'm glad you think so.

Interrogate away!

And bringing in other players sounds wonderful. The more the merrier.

I will post for the twins tomorrow now but there is something puzzling me, I don't suppose it really matters but as far as I am concerned my char went straight out from his room and has only just arrived in the common room with his twin. But reading back I see that he is referred to as being already in the common room on his own! I know I was away for a while but I would appreciate him not being moved about by anyone other than Kath. At least without mentioning it to me. Thanks.

Oh, I am sorry! I had thought that after seeing the wolves, Cir had gone back inside and sat down for breakfast. Apparantly I was wrong. I'll go back and edit, if you like.

Thank you for your help Child of the 7th Age! Post is up... and red it is . Haha, seriously though, I will stick to golden, white I agree is odd.

Kath, Jadelen will find Cir in the next post, or Jadelen could be looking around and catch Cir's eye! Just a suggestion.. but I'll put my next post up soon, but will read your post and see where you are Kath, or at least where Cir is.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, it is much appreciated.

I've also been a laggard! The dialogue between Mormegil's dwarf and Tollers is stalled. I spoke with Mormegil briefly in a pm. I am going ahead and doing a post that takes Tollers away from the table and frees up the dwarf to speak wih whoever he wants.

Mänwe - did you want to go ahead and talk with the Dwarf which you mentioned at the end of your post?

If you don't do that, should we get the scene with the children going? Would that be alright, Folwren .

POSTED TO DISCUSSION THREAD CHARACTER LIST, POST #2 ~*~ Pio

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Double posting, I know, but here's the character description.

NAME: Lil (short for Lilac)

AGE: 8

RACE: Hobbit

GENDER: Female

APPEARANCE: Lil is very short and somewhat round. She has bright, starry eyes that are somewhere between the colors of green and brown. Her hair is light brown and is extremely curly - the length of it is difficult to tell. If the curls are pulled out, it would probably reach to the bottom of her shoulder blades, but the curls curl so tightly, that it really comes to the nape of her neck, giving her head a very round, very adorable appearance.
She wears the simple hobbit garb that is usual - a dress whose skirt comes a little below the knee, over a white blouse type shirt, and she runs barefoot, of course.

PERSONALITY: Mostly, she’s bubbly and mischievous. She is the fourth child of eight kids and is apt to go wherever her older siblings lead, regardless or not of whether it is a good thing to do or not. She doesn’t think much on her own yet (think in advance, anyway). She is not at all shy or backwards, instead she’s extremely outgoing, is very easily humored, and seems to get into everything at once - like many of her other siblings, I imagine.

POSTED TO DISCUSSION THREAD CHARACTER LIST - POST# 2 ~*~ Pio

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wonder about the poor mother. Actually, I know a number of wonderful families with 5-7 children, but I haven't ever met someone with 12!

Could I have the eleven year old?

NAME: Tolman....generally known as Tom

AGE: 11

RACE: Hobbit

GENDER: Male

APPEARANCE: A lanky sort of lad, which is unusual for a hobbit. He is relatively lean and tall with a mop of brown curls. He has bright blue eyes and usually goes about with his hands stuck in his pockets to sort through the various treasures that he has acquired during the day. His pants and shirt are stained and a bit too small, since his mum has trouble outfitting so many children at once.

PERSONALITY: He's quieter than most hobbit lads and a bit cowed by his older sibling who always insists on taking the lead. Tom has a bad habit of borrowing things from others without telling them what he's doing. He has no intention of keeping the item and always returns it to its owner. So far, he has managed to get away with this behavior without anyone finding out what he's doing. even his own siblings. How long this streak of luck will last, no one can really say....

I really want to apologise for my sudden disappearance without any notice. A week and a half ago I was in a car accident, and was in hospital due to kidney and head injuries. I am all right and alive (well… ). I do apologise though, but obviously it was out of my control. May the RPGing go on.

Tevildo, Child.... are we ready to start writing for the kids now? I know that it won't be time to interact with the dwarf for quite some time, but perhaps we'd like to get a feel for the characters and...cause trouble for the rest of the inn.

The children go like thus:

Daisy - 12
Tom - 11
??? - 9
Lil - 8
Iris - 7
Bill - 5
Meg - 3
Begonia - 3 months

Don't ask me why I chose Begonia for the baby's name...yikes.

Here's an apology to Mith for my huge procrastination in the Golden Perch post...I promised to do it weeks ago and kept pushing it aside. Anyway onto more recent news...I was hospitilized yesterday (no I wasn't turned into a hospital )...chest pains being the big problem and the doc wondering why I did not have a heart attack as my blood pressure was absolutely horrendous. Im sincerely going to try to get a post up tomorrow, as I'll have a whole day of relaxation (hopefully)...although I have been warned that BP medicine often has strange side effects so I really have no idea how I'm going to react to it. Sorry again for my procrastination here.

Haha! Directions to Farmer Maggots? Well, Finduilas, I'll have to look at a map before I make a replying post and tonight's not a good night to do so.

MaskedNicci, welcome to the inn. Your character looks fine and your entrance is good, too. I will get around to perhaps addressing your character shortly, too. And then perhaps Alasse (with two dots over the 'e') and Elorn can meet, after Dick's out of the way.

No, I have not. I think I PMed him a while back, but it seems that he at least opened it...I'll check, but that would have been the last movement of life I'd seen from him recently.

I checked his profile and it just says "Offline", it doesn't say when he was last on.
