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...

Finduilas · 02-25-2008, 09:00 AM

Leaving permanently?

littlemanpoet · 02-25-2008, 09:42 AM

I don't know if it's permanent or not, but I must treat it as if it is. But I will complete my commitments before I go. This is, for me, an "Abraham you must sacrifice your beloved son" moment, if you will. When I go, I will leave an email address and my xanga link for anyone who wishes to keep in contact.

Thinlómien · 02-25-2008, 10:50 AM

LMP going? I'm so sorry to see that, but I don't wish to burden you LMP with uselss moaning.

I do hope that you'll be back some day, though.

On a totally different subject (as the show must go on), who shall post next?

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.

littlemanpoet · 03-07-2008, 10:00 PM

I figured you would have to do some other revision, but I knew you'd figure something out. Thank YOU.

We really need to spread the word that 'http://69.51.5.41' gets people here who can't the usual way.

Valier · 03-11-2008, 12:33 PM

wow this is the first day I've been able to get on here. I've got work this afternoon, but when I get home I will read over what's been posted and post if I'm needed. Is it my turn to post? if so I will get it up a.s.a.p.

Boromir88 · 03-11-2008, 01:30 PM

Well it appears like things are up and running here again. Starting Thursday and going through Tuesday I'm using up my vacation time that I need to get rid of before March. So, that'll be the time I'm available. I'll also be able to read through what's been posted and see where we're at.
