I wasn't doubting your supreme knowledge of linguistics, Elempi.

Supreme???? Hah! The only thing I've ever been supreme in is folly.

Wow, I've so much (relatively speaking) to catch up on! This is incredible.

I'll put up my post for Ginna tomorrow, Elempi.

lmp, I gave Falco a few lines. I think they're in character, but you might want to check them over regardless. Hope I didn't mess anything up.

Weeeell...I was going to post, but Gwath got there first and I now really don't have anything of interest to write. I may tomorrow, if there is the slim chance that I have any time.

If I do not have time tomorrow, then I must bid you all farewell tonight. I am leaving tomorrow morning sometime to begin my summer working at a camp. I will not return home again until June 6, and whether or not I will have any chance of checking the BD while at camp, I do not know. On the 6th, I doubt I'll have much time, though, because I'm probably taking off immediately for out of town...

Anyway, excepting the next two weeks in which I do not get the weekend off, I will be back every weekend from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. This will last until the third week into July. So...until then, don't really expect me to post much during the week because, quite frankly, I won't.

I'll try hard to post for Javan before leaving tomorrow.

Falco: delaying tactics.

Gwath, Crabapple - I mean Crabannan is simply endearing. I'd rep you, but there's that rule...

Nydfara is a beautiful name, Firefoot. And Scyld's as irresistably charming as he was in AiE.

Elempi, the floor is yours. (And I probably shouldn't be saying this, but I could have responded for Ginna and still come up with exactly the same thing. Yes, this female on the keyboard doth think too much. )

Have great time, Folwrey. We'll watch over Saeryn&Javan(&Thornden) if they need to be watched over.

Looks okay except for that "sirrah", which is Shakespearian and way above his station. He'd probably say "Master Crabapple" again.

Good job on the post, Gwathagor, I thought that Crabannan would never get out of that predicament!

I'm starting a post for the hunting party today, but I need to know if anybody here has
written for Balvir or Matrim. If anyone has written, or read a post, with them in it I would greatly appreciate it if you could fill me in on their personalities.

Back on the old Eorling Mead Hall rpg thread, Nerindel posted for Matrim and I think also for Balvir. Go to Members List (just at the top of this "page" next to "User CP" and "FAQ"), and find Nerindel, then choose to look at all posts by her; that's probably the easiest way to find it.

Lhuna, I'll try to post today for Harreld.

What's happening with Saeryn, Modtryth and the rest?

Falco Boffin is now officially gone from this rpg.
