Eorling Mead Hall Planning/Discussion Thread

[littlemanpoet]

Putting Garstan with Stigend was intentional on my part. Celuien is on extended absence and has graciously given us permission to use her characters as needed. In return we have (I hope) just as graciously promised to keep them in character. So please do write for both Stigend and Garstan, Noggie.

I was going to have Eodwine assign specific parties, but I figured I'd let all of you choose who your characters would work with. If you need a reminder as to what characters are available, please look at the discussion thread's first post and click on the link to "characters". I just updated it within the last couple weeks.

Elempi,

Is everyone supposed to set off exploring before starting the other two jobs of beginning the kitchen and securing the animals? That is what the last thing Eodwine said sounded like, but I'm not certain.

I'll try to write a post for Thornden, but I'm not completely sure what he's supposed to be doing.

In my post Stigend suggests they should make a baker. Here's a picture of a differene between a lean-to and a baker. (second last from the bottom...)

I was thinking of a real large one.

In the 70's when I was a kid we had one at the place where we constructed our family's summer cottage. It was there for two years I think (it was taken down for the winter but re-erected the next year). It was big enough for some twenty people to sleep under cosily.

I'm lurking and alive (dead) in the shadows, but between work, trying to buy a house, and trying to maintain some personal life, I'm still too swamped to write. The hall looks like it's had lots of interesting developments - I'll try to keep up with everything in case things calm down and I can get back here at some point. Thanks for carrying along the characters.

Great idea on the baker, Noggie. Go for it. I see that Eodwine has already given his approval, which you have now saved me the trouble of writing. I loved the humor in your post, too. "Adjusting our spirits to our duties."

Foley, I've fixed the end of my post to clarify that we build shelter and cooking facilities first.

It's good to hear from you, Celuien. Here's hoping that your crazy life gains more order and leisure so that you can rejoin us.

[Nogrod]

So nice to hear from you Celuien! And all the best for you!

I'll be more than happy to carry Garstan with Stigend and I guess Lommy will love to use the kids - as I will too. I'm indeed already thinking of using the boys with the construction of the baker as they could be the "apes" to climb the trees and attach the ropes there... Maybe Stigend could call for Javan to join the venture as well?

Just tell us if we do something with them you think is out of bounds Celuien. And if you have any ideas just let us know about them.

Eodwine is of course very happy to have various of his House volunteer to take responsibility for Javan.

Totally agreed. And I, too, am glad to see you pop up, Cel.

Like Nogrod said, I'll be just happy to carry along the children. Modtryth is after all probably the unofficial "nanny" of the House and surely spends a lot of time, not necessarily with the children, but at least having an eye on them. And as rarely as I do it, I like writing Cnebba very much too and you basically cannot write him without including Garmund and Léodern in some way.

I will have fun having carrying your characters along, but of course, I would have more fun actually writing with you. So hope you can be back sometime, rather sooner than later.
