Sorry to be sceptic/cynic but we're really going to b in a hurry in that case....

[Glirdan]

Ya I know.....Hmmmm...perhaps an extension into oh let's say start of March? But the only problem with that is I become really busy with school and stuff because it's the second last month and everything (and I mean everything >_<) seems to be in that month..... I shall think about this.....

But what about you all?? Any suggestions??

EDIT: Yes, I meant May. My bad.

[Crystal Heart]

March? Do you mean May? And I am game for anything.

[Cordelia Harrison]

Sounds good to me!

[Thinlómien]

I'm wondering... Is the little party still somewhere in western Rohan...?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

The cabin-dweller may stir.

[Crystal Heart]

Hey everyone let's get posting!!!

Glirdan - both Cordelia and I are waiting for your return. So please post.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Is anyone in the cabin?

[The Sixth Wizard]

I have added quite a bit in my last post, but I thought it best if we didn't spend too much time dilly-dallying outside the cabin. Plenty of time for elven love vows where it is warm! (I'm already feeling cold instinctively )

[Crystal Heart]

I have moved us on. Please post accordingly.

[Glirdan]

Thank you Crystal...

I'm sorry everyone....I'm going through a lot right now....My mom and step father broke up and I am now currently in the middle of it....so if I go missing for lengthy periods, move on without me. I'm just emotionally, mentally and physically drained and haven't been doing much. So basically, trying to pick my self up out of a deep hole that's in a hole shall we say....Like now, I cannot post currently because I'm having enough trouble without falling asleep.

Anyway, now that I have explained to you what's going on, I shall go rest and relax for that is what I need. I will post sometime this weekend and I make that promise to you.

And once again Crystal, thank you!!

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Glirdan, seriously, don't worry about the RPG. Do whatever seems right for you; I hope things work out.

Glirdan -

Don't you worry about it. I have been a game owner before. I will carry on your character.

EDIT: Everyone post!

[Thinlómien]

I and Glirdy thought this might be a good time to post this. Enjoy!

-----------

NAME: Jenfried (Jen)

AGE: 15

RACE: Rohanian

GENDER: female

WEAPONS (No magical, super-hero, mithril weapons. Just good solid Middle-earth weapons and armor only that is appropriate to the race of the character and the time period.): Jenfried has two knives: a big, blunt and slightly rusty butcher's knife and a smaller and sharper knife. She also has a leather sling and ten round stones for it.

APPEARANCE: Jenfried is about 5'2" or 5'3'' tall and skinny. She tends to have dirt on her face and her hands. Her long, dark blonde hair is often tangled. Jen's clothes are patched, but in relatively good shape. She has bluegrey eyes, a turned-up nose, a pointed jaw and high cheekbones. It's difficult to say how old she is: one would say she's 12, another that she's 20. Most often people take her for about her age or a year or two older.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: (No half-Elven characters. No mixed-type characters. No super-heroes. No assassins. No one all powerful, martial arts proficient, or having any magical traits. Just regular characters with normal abilities for their races only): In a way, Jenfried is mature for her age. She is more intelligent and more perceptive than people of her age tend to be, and also far less naive. On the other hand, she has a very childish temper that often reveals her true age.

Jen can be very sarcastic and cynic at times. She has had to grow up too fast. She scorns and despises everything "childish", though deep inside she's still the same 6-year-old who loved stories of distant lands. She loves adventure and a traveling way of life. Though she has seen what fighting and an "adventurer's life" really are, she still somewhat romanticises them.

When Jen gets angry she first shouts and then sulks. It is difficult for her to admit she's been wrong, or to apologise. Jen is loyal to her friends and defends things dear to her fiercely. She tries to seem more "adult" than she is. She is actually quite shy, but she tries to hide it.

HISTORY:
Jenfried's mother was a serving wench in a lord's house and no one knows who was her father. Jen grew up in the lord's household and about as soon as she could walk she started working to earn her living. As she grew older, the tasks grew harder and more difficult. She befriended the other children of the household and learned to ride while taking care of the horses. (The stablemaster let the children ride some of the less fine horses though the lord did not approve.)

In the age of eleven Jenfried became one of the cook's little assistants. She worked in the kitchen for almost four years. A bit less than a year ago some of the most expensive dishes were stolen. Jen and her two fellow kitchen assistants were accused of theft. They all denied their guilt, but no one believed them. Jen did not want to be punished for a crime she hadn't done, and being sick of her life in the lord's house, she run away. She managed to steal a horse. "If I'm already called a thief, I can as well be one", she thought.

She did not know where to go. She did not know anyone or anything outside the lord's lands. She decided to go to the nearest town to look for work. On her way there, she was ambushed by highwaymen who wanted her horse. The highwaymen were not trying to kill her, just to harm her and take her horse, and she put up such a fight that when she had to give up and asked if she could join the highwaymen, they actually agreed, though she had to give up the good horse and they gave her an old, shaggy mare called Beadyeyes.

For the last few months she has been with the highwaymen, doing the dangerous and dirty jobs. She hasn't properly befriended with any of the highwaymen and doesn't particularly like them or enjoy being with them. However, she thinks it's the only way for her to earn her living and she likes traveling around Rohan.

[Thinlómien]

Too bad this is so slow... I'll try to write something tomorrow.

[Valesse]

I'll post as soon as I'm done with finals!
Finals = monster essays! Eek!

[Crystal Heart]

I understand life can be challening and overwhelming. If you are going to be gone for any significant amount of time I would rather that you told myself and Glirdan.

At this moment, since Glirdan is AWOL, I would appreciate being told if you are going to be gone.

Now please, everyone, put up posts!

Thank you.

[Thinlómien]

Crystal, if you've taken over, could you play the cabin owner to get things back rolling, or if there is no cabin owner, just otherwise make the things continue? I mean, we regular players can't make the game develop at this phase asd we don't know what Glirdy and you have planned.

[Crystal Heart]

Well, Glirdan knew every small detail of this RPG. I know the wider scope of the RPG.

Okay, here is what is going to happen. We ARE going to be moving forward. I will post right now and move us on. There will be a cabin owner and they will be nice.

I need all of you to post immediately afterwards. Thank you.

[Thinlómien]

Sorry, but I'm not able to post immediately afterwards, since tomorrow's a public holiday here and as I don't have a net access home, I can't post anything then, nor today. I can post on Friday though.

[The Sixth Wizard]

I was feeling rather descriptive in my latest post. It contains a few longer words than usual I think... Anyways I have posted and that's what matters.

[Crystal Heart]

Thank you for the post. We are going to plow ahead! So please keep up.

[Valesse]

The semester is over, I've moved back home for the summer, and I'm all geared up to start RPing again like the beast I was when I signed up. Sorry for the grotesque absence, but that should be all a matter of the past now.

[Thinlómien]

I'm quite optimistic - finally it looks like something's happening!

Crystal (almost called you Arianna lol ) - do you know if Glirdy's coming back while this RPG is still running? If yes, when?

[Crystal Heart]

Thin - that's okay. You can call me Arianna if it is easier.

No he did not say how long he would be gone. We will just have to proceed without him. Perhaps even end the game without him.

[Thinlómien]

Alright then. It's a pity though. (The previous RPG I was in also lost its owner along the way and was never properly completed... Not that I think this RPG's fate will be similar, though. )

I find it funny that both my chracters are captives in some way.

By the way, poor Thin-Gloomy maybe needs writing soon... Hmmm... How soon will the adventurers be there in Arnor?

PS. Crystal - did you notice calling Marieme Miriam in your post?
And where's Cordelia? She hasn't been around for a while...

[Thinlómien]

Forgot to mention - I'll post about Jen tomorrow and possibly about T-G too...

[Thinlómien]

Err, sorry about promising that. ^ I totally forgot I would not be able to come online yesterday. I'll maybe come up with something today or tomorrow.

[Valesse]

Its alright, Lommy, as long as we see it soon I think everyone'll be happy.

[Thinlómien]

I assumed the Elves were talking Elvish, but if that was not so, I can edit...

[Crystal Heart]

First off I don't know where Cordelia is. She and her boyfriend have been missing for a while. Their parents are very worried and there is a search for her. Please keep her and her boyfriend in your prayers.

I am sorry that I have not been on as of late. I have been dealing with trying to find my missing friend and the death of my computer.


Please keep posting.

[Thinlómien]

But that's horrible. I so much hope they are alright and will come back or be found... (If I did pray I would pray for them, but as I don't I'll just keep wishing everything's fine...)

Crystal - no need to apologise I think you have had a good reason... I hope you're doing as fine as one can do in such a situation...

[Crystal Heart]

Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. Cordelia has been found, along with her boyfriend. They are both fine, but rather shaken. They were kidnapped - it was not a runaway/elope incident as once previously thought.

There has been some rather horrid things that have happened to the two of them and I don't think that Cordelia will be rejoining us any time soon. So I shall be carrying her character as well.

Please keep posting!

[The Sixth Wizard]

Thank goodness for that! My thoughts go to her.

[Crystal Heart]

Thank you Sixth. And to all of you for your kind thoughts and prayers. They are all truly appreciated.



OKAY, I am baaaaaaack! So therefore, this game is getting off the ground. I want everyone to post TODAY! (Or tomorrow at the latest). Let's get this RP moving and finished as Glirdan had envisioned!


ANNOUNCEMENT: I have made Lommy my co-owner, seeing as I have now become the main owner of this game. THEREFORE, what Lommy says is law. If Lommy demands postings then do as she (erm. . . he?) demands.



PLOT: This is how it is going to be folks. I am going to be moving the scene. Post accordingly

[Thinlómien]

Okay, I'm the scary new co-owner. Seeing that my word now has become a law () I ask everybody to post. I myself will post in a few hours and I will write a leaving scene. Hopefully then you guys can all write a bit about jolly travelling and remember that intriguing side-plots (like that bandit-attack) are always welcome. So please guys unleash your imagination and sacrifice a few minutes for this amusing which (I hope) no one of us wants to see just fade away.

Yes, I'm a she.

[Valesse]

My thoughts as well go out to Cordellia, I'm so glad she's safe now!

I've posted, and also would like to appologize for my absent..iness.
(**And yes, that last paragraph of my post is all for the sake of a few giggles.)

[Crystal Heart]

Thank you Valesse! I will pass on your sentiments. I am sure she will appreciate them.

Now. . . I am going to take a posting count. So far I, Lommy, and Valesse since the new changes have occurred. Sixth, I am unsure of where you are, but if you could please post immediately that would be greatly appreciated.
