*jaw drops*

Where did time go, how long was I sick, have I finished my American Lit paper yet, are midterms over, and why did nobody remind me I had an unfilled Save???

littlemanpoet · 02-16-2007, 03:54 AM

Hope you're feeling better and getting done what you need to. I've rerouted my edited post for a reply from Aeron or Bergil, or both, depending on who wishes to take the initiative.

littlemanpoet · 02-20-2007, 02:44 PM

I shall be off computer for the duration of Lent. I am hopeful that my absence will not have severe consequences for this rather slow-moving thread. Be sure that when I come back, I will continue to contribute as much as I feel I can without taking the thing over.

littlemanpoet · 04-17-2007, 09:26 PM

Thanks for bringing Tapestry 2 back to life, Immy.

Formy!!!!! Your character has questions to answer!

So I see...

I should --hopefully-- have something up on that within the next 24 hours... I cannot honestly say I have anything better to do between now and Saturday. Thereafter... we'll see.

littlemanpoet · 05-09-2007, 02:45 PM

Well, I'm tired of waiting. If others can't or don't want to write much, then I'll just have fun around here as long as I have ideas. Lets see now, there are Leafa, the traitor Elfwoman, Melonnin, and Bellyn.

Eeny meeny miny mo,
time to make this plotline go
if it reads well let it go,
eeny meeny miny mo.

Okay, the roll of the dice picked Mellonin. She is the one on the horse who has fallen near Celuien's character. Time to reaquaint myself with all of this. Anybody else who feels like joining in, feel free; but I'm not waiting anymore.

littlemanpoet · 05-10-2007, 09:52 AM

Yeah, I think it was in error (well meant for plot development's sake) to separate everybody this time. We need more writers interested enough to bounce off each other's posts, and the only way to do that is get all the characters back together. That's my goal. Hope to see more of you around some day not too far in the future.

littlemanpoet · 05-16-2007, 07:28 PM

I'm wondering if Formy and Celuien can do something about their 'saves' in the next couple days? Just in case you might have forgotten it was even there....

See... I was GOING to fill that save on the evening of Saturday, April 21st... but as I was in emergency and the X-ray room, that didn't transpire...

Still, you have caught me on a guilty evening, with a very quiet few days ahead. If I haven't filled my save BEFORE Saturday, you have my permission to... um... I dunno, hit me or something. On my lower left leg.

Celuien · 05-16-2007, 10:50 PM

I can...it would have been filled before if not for some celebratory events here.

Couple of days should do it. If not, throw a frozen herring (or something) at me.

Imladris · 05-17-2007, 04:32 AM

I'll try to post something soon...(something's been percolating...but you know how it is) when I don't feel so deadly exhausted.

littlemanpoet · 05-17-2007, 09:33 AM

I gue------ss I can wait that long.

Formendacil · 05-18-2007, 07:19 PM

Save filled.

Elempi's decision to have the menfolk take an about-turn has pretty much resolved Bergil's dilemma, which is fine with me since I couldn't think of a satisfying way to resolve Bergil's character with the idea of taking Indil into the wilds.

However, in reading on... I'd like to quibble with Elempi about the phrasing of Bergil's reply regarding the fastness of Elessar's prisons. The line currently reads:

Quote:

"None can escape from the prisons of Elessar," Bergil asserted. "They are too well watched by the Tower Guard."

Something about it doesn't sound like Bergil to me. A little bit too... earnest maybe? I envision Bergil as young, perhaps naive, but he's a ranger who's been serving for some years now, and he lived through the Siege of Minas Tirith. I envision him as rather more serious...

Anyways, my proposed revision of the line is more one of wording than content:

Quote:

"I doubt if he could escape the prisons of Elessar," Bergil asserted. "The Tower Guard watches them most vigilantly."

littlemanpoet · 05-29-2007, 01:50 PM

I.

Am.

Slowly.

Dying.

Of.

Thirst.

That is....

When is somebody else going to do a post (or at least fill in their save)?

littlemanpoet · 05-30-2007, 05:46 PM

Immy, that's the best post I've seen on this thread in a good long while. Well done! Let's hope we can spur this on a little bit now.

(wishful thinking elempi you dolt)

What! Who said that!

Formendacil · 05-30-2007, 07:52 PM

Question:

If I (and Bergil) advance the action to the point where they're back in Minas Tirith, is that okay? I'm assuming that as LMP is wanting to reunite the groups, this will be done as fast as possible. In any case, if Bergil (and Indil, come to think of it) are to remain with the company and not stay in Minas Tirith, there needs to be at least a post or two of permission-seeking (in Bergil's case. In Indil's something more creative would be needed...).

Is there anything that needs doing first? (Not that I'll get to this tonight, or probably even THAT soon... but you never know. Maybe Friday?)

littlemanpoet · 05-31-2007, 09:01 AM

I for one am all for it.

I don't think there's anything else that needs to be done first with the southward group.

Lots needs to be done with the women.

Helloooooo?

Celuien · 05-31-2007, 09:23 AM

Okay, okay, I really will write today. It will be up by tomorrow evening (revisions, revisions and more revisions from today's version)...

Celuien · 06-01-2007, 06:58 PM

Finally filled. Part of my problem was trying to figure out how to keep Saethyrd from automatically killing her visitor.

Anyway, I'm going to be trying to finish job pre-job-starting things next week and then moving, so I'll probably continue to be slow.

Formendacil · 06-01-2007, 07:45 PM

Amazingly, I got a post up as I planned. All the usual things about letting me know how/where I can approve is appreciated.

I'm afraid that the impetus to have Indil accompany the company is going to have to come from someone other than Bergil. I'm assuming that it'll be something along the lines of her having dreams that the company considers very important. This might be a matter for Fea, or LMP, or maybe Alak and the Elves. But it certainly won't be me and Bergil.

Anyone is free to take over "the Guardsman" from this point. I'm not attached to him at all, and the post might better come from the point of view of a character to whom the escape of Tharonwë means something. Once the company is caught up on that news, Bergil will be reporting to either Faramir or Elessar (I've not decided which...), and getting a mandate to accompany the company, conveniently solving the issue of rationalizing his participation.
