Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread

[Folwren]

I'm almost afraid to say anything, for fear my suspicions might turn out true, and no one answers. Is the place empty?

Just kidding. I know people are still about... er, that is... I hope people are still about.

I see the WW game ended yesterday. I was a little surprised, but I guess I shouldn't be. Time flew this week I guess, despite slow movement here.

Fea, how's life? Are you well?

Gwath, are you getting any inspiration to write?

Nogrod, has your schedule slowed at all? It's the weekend now.

Nienna, want to post something with Aedre? Although Javan is currently right next to Crabannan, I'm sure that we could arrange a meeting. Javan needs to say something to her.

Durelin, it'd be cool to see something posted for Coenred. I kind of don't want to write anything more there since I've written two posts for my characters at the training grounds already.

Soon, we can start integrating Groin's stuff, right?

Hope we can get this moving again!

My crazy days should be over for a while now. *knockknock*

I'll update myself with the thread today and intend to post as well.

My voice is still a little hoarse, particularly by bed time, and singing accurately is a joke. I really did beat up my vocal cords by being sick so long. I'm pretending like I sound sultry. My brother quashes my illusions by saying I sound like a chain smoker. But other than that, I'm quite well.

I bought a really fabulous chair - like this one, except older, more hobbit-looking, beat up, and with truly hideous orange and brown plaid cushions - and I painted it sage green and re-covered the cushions in plum purple.

I should have my new vehicle in my possession by the end of this week, my job is going well, my deadline for school is frighteningly soon (next week and I've only got about a third of what needs to get done finished!)...

But I got the go ahead from my boss to use my work place as a location for the middle school writing workshop I'm designing! Woot!

[Nogrod]

Sorry to let you down today...

I have been planning our trip to the US. on summer '10 the time I've had and it's clearly too late now. But I'll be posting tomorrow. For sure.

[Nogrod]

Heh.. that's for the surety... I ended up making materials on the birth of Christianity to my students and totally lost my sight for time.

But actually, are you around Nerindel? Would you like your characters to meet lord Athanar or not?

I'm not willing to write anything on that before I hear from you. So if you're not around I need to come up with other activities for lord Athanar - or just go for the craftsmen - or come up with a new character to take part in the drills...

[Durelin]

I've been planning to post, and then losing the time. I went straight from a January term to my spring semester and haven't been allowed time to adjust lol. I'll get a post up as soon as I can.

Though, shall we wrap up the drills? I don't think they're something to linger on. After the drills might bring more opportunity than the drills themselves (I know Coen and Thornden need to actually talk, and soldiers could interact.). I don't think we have enough soldiers being played to have even one-on-one drills be too interesting?

Just thoughts.

Yes, sorry work has been a bit hectic lately and the preparations for last nights Burns Supper took up more of my time than I thought it would I should have some free time tonight, hopefully I can get Iohmair's post up, post again for Balvir and pm you my idea's for Mat and Aeol's meeting with Athanar.

Sounds like my life... although I have never actually made Haggis.

Just pick the interesting ones first. Anyway I'll be all ears for any suggestions concerning the meeting.

I have been kind of thinking around the same lines, or having a similar dilemma. I am really not keen on writing an one-sided description of Hilderinc having a fight with Random Soldier No.#13, and there is not much of a good choice to fight with somebody else, now that Lithor is gone and other characters who are sort of soldiers, like Crabannan, are not taking part. So the choice would be only if Foley's character (Quin) or eventually one of the bosses (Thornden/Coen) wanted to have fight with Hilderinc (but then, especially with the bosses it probably does not make that much sense). But if nobody wants to, we can as well just make it that there could be some more interaction after the training, like Dury said, possibly using something that happened during the matches as food for thought, resp. talking. And especially if we are faced with the news of the two runaways (and especially the deserting soldier, Lithor) right after the training, the reactions from various characters of ours at one place might be truly interesting.

[Folwren]

Legate, I'd be fine if your character fought Quin. I am not sure exactly if Hilderinc would wish to fight with him or if he wanted to fight with one of the Scarburgians. It may be that he sees Quin being less than eager to join, realizes he's never sparred with him, and engages him. Whatever you want to do.

Durelin, I'm open for anything, too. In fact, it wouldn't be inconceivable for us to write about Coen and Thornden talking even before Legate and I have fully decided or written about Quin and Hilderinc fighting.
