Jolly good post, everybody. Snatch is already my favorite character. I think he and Brown will get along very well.

Thinlómien · 01-24-2008, 01:43 AM

That post was just hilarious.

Excellent work. What happens next?

littlemanpoet · 01-24-2008, 06:22 AM

Well, there could be further debate about Entwives, and Rudy has yet to speak up. Lizzy hasn't heard what the adventure is all about, just that there is one. So a few more posts with talk for the Rudy-Mira-Hugo-Peony clan should wrap up the Day.

Valier · 01-24-2008, 03:14 PM

That was a GREAT post!! well worth the wait!!

As soon as you all finish up at Peony's I will get a narration type post up ending the night and starting the next day.

I think then Lommy Gwathagor and I can do a quick pm post with us leaving and arriving at Peony's.

How do you all want to handle the meeting in the morning of everyone? This is going to be amusing!!!!

littlemanpoet · 01-24-2008, 04:53 PM

Thanks!

It was fun to write, especially the revelation that Gaffer Hugo Chubb "don't believe in that nonsense."

I didn't know that about him when we started this rpg, but it just sort of appeared on my radar so to speak. I'm certainly going to enjoy making something of it, especially since in real life I'm the opposite.

How about, for the morning, each writer does a post for his or her own character, leading up to the meeting point? In order to do that, we need to establish where that meeting point will be. Valier?

Valier · 01-25-2008, 10:10 PM

I was thinking we could meet just outside Peony's in the morning. Or does that not work? I agree everyone can write their own post leading to our meeting.

littlemanpoet · 01-25-2008, 10:27 PM

Works for me. Just outside Peony's it is.

littlemanpoet · 02-19-2008, 09:35 PM

I decided to have fun and put up another post. Let me know if the liberties I've taken need to be changed.

Valier · 02-19-2008, 11:57 PM

Great post LMP!! I think a little bit of back and forth is needed at Peony's to finish off the morning. If anyone is unable to post soon for this finishing of the morning please do let us know. Let us get this part done nice and quick and get us on our way. If we need to let us put up saves so we can get this done.

littlemanpoet · 02-20-2008, 05:00 AM

Just a thought: just because Gaffer Hugo has put a question to Rudy doesn't mean Rudy has to be the next speaker. If Mira and Peony, or Lizzy, are ready to jump in and interrupt, that's fine too. Actually, it would make things more interesting.

Kitanna · 02-20-2008, 08:45 AM

Excellent posts. I'm going to try to get a post in this afternoon regarding the still "undecided" nature of Rudy and Hugo.

littlemanpoet · 02-22-2008, 08:56 PM

I think the messier the better (that means more conflict).

Kitanna, I personally think that it would make for more fun rpg'ing if Peony didn't come in quiet as a mouse, don't you think? Unless she's quiet now so that she can flare up in anger at Rudy's words after he speaks?

Gwathagor · 02-22-2008, 10:06 PM

I'm enjoying the way this is unfolding. Good work.

Finduilas · 02-23-2008, 07:59 AM

Do what ever you want with Mira to get the story going. I however will be unable to post today or tomorrow. But keep in mind, I beleive she is rather laid back.

I was thinking of starting her quiet and then have Melilot leave the kitchen and then Peony can get loud and angry.

littlemanpoet · 02-23-2008, 12:48 PM

That makes sense.

Boromir88 · 02-23-2008, 03:51 PM

With no objections my post will be up in a little bit.

Edit:

Fin/Kitanna, if you want Mira/Peony to bust in to stop Rudy from giving his compliments to Melilot, now would be the time to do so

littlemanpoet · 02-24-2008, 08:46 PM

I'm going to be leaving the Barrowdowns soon. Nothing wrong, it's just a timing thing and a personal thing. But I'm going to see my commitments through, such as this rpg. Maybe I knew this was coming down the pike, which is why I chose a very old character for this rpg. Pretty much from the beginning I've been planning on Gaffer Hugo dying at some point during this rpg. Sooner or later, it doesn't matter to me. But some time soon, once their travels begin, he is going to start weakening rapidly. Just want you to know.

Gwathagor · 02-24-2008, 08:57 PM

Well, that's a shame. Barrow-downs without LMP? Not sure I can fathom it...

littlemanpoet · 03-04-2008, 09:56 AM

Hold it, just had a thought. Melilot and Snatch are outside and should be the first to run into Bunny, Tansy, and Brown. Melilot would greet them as befits her, and Snatch would give them a "rousing welcome", if you know what I mean: Rararararar! Woof! Woof! Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! .... and similar such words of greeting, not to mention sniffing and licking, et cetera.

Should I write that post to be inserted, or are you up to fixing up yours, Lommy?

Thinlómien · 03-05-2008, 08:16 AM

Well, I'm going to be busy, so if you could write that, I'd be grateful.

But if it proves problematic, I can find time to do it.

littlemanpoet · 03-06-2008, 09:54 AM

Lommy, make the following revision to your last post and it should work.

Quote:

They arrived at Peony's house only to be rousingly welcomed by Gaffer Hugo's dog, Snatch. If they had been trying to sneak around, it would have been no good for the uproar Snatch made.

"Quiet, Snatch!" cried Melilot, which the dog did not immediatley agree to do. Once he recognized Tansy and Bunny as harmless hobbit lasses, his tongue hung out of his mouth in a big smile, ready to lick whatever hand or face was extended. But he growled at Brown.

Thinlómien · 03-07-2008, 02:01 AM

Yes, but I had to add/edit few other sentences as well, but now it should work.

Thanks LMP.
