It's great to be back, Firefoot!

And it's great to have a new day to write in. A couple of us have been discussing a great new mess of a plot development that I'm more than eager to get started on. Not telling yet, you'll have to see it unfold. :rubs hands eagerly:

EDIT: Foley, let me know if any of the words I put in Thornden's mouth need to be changed.

Folwren · 10-27-2010, 08:16 PM

Okay, Elempi...at first I thought maybe Thornden wouldn't mention that he stank, but then it occurred to me, maybe, if he knew him well enough. Then I thought, "No, probably not" but then I thought, "Well, it'll make what we have planned even better if we make it out that Thornden and Harreld are on very familiar terms with each other." So, keep it.

BUT I don't think Thornden is actually going. I think he is sending Garwine. I wish Thornden were going, but I don't think Athanar will allow it. Nogrod? Am I right? Harreld can ask if the messengers can drop by Garreth's place.

Mnemosyne, I know your probably writing a post for the previous day. Go ahead and finish, if you're still planning on writing it and we'll work it in either at the end of my last post or beginning of Elempi's new day post.

And I think that's all I've got. I may try posting this evening, but I doubt I'll manage it.

Post is up; how do we want to work it in to the narrative?

Nog, let me know if I got Athanar wrong in any way, or if there are any other "behind the scenes" duties that I should have slipped in, or anything.

Nogrod · 10-28-2010, 08:23 AM

Mnemo: that was very good indeed! And I don't think we need to change anything timewise either - one or two posts on both sides of the night shouldn't be a problem.

Foley: you're quite right, lord Athanar would not let Thornden go as he needs him - but he would probably be okay with the messengers stopping by at Garreth's.

Adding more twists to the mess... well surely! Go on lmp!

littlemanpoet · 10-28-2010, 09:46 AM

Thornden staying - fixed. I'm glad you were okay with the "you stink" part. Guys will talk like that to their friends.

Durelin · 10-28-2010, 07:55 PM

So I posted a sort of general reflection/catch up post for Coen.

As for him finding out about Thornden hiding something...well, he suspected Thornden at least of wanting to protect Erbrand (and Lithor), but he had a fairly high opinion of Thornden at first so doesn't really want to think he's hiding something very specific, other than that he has a lot of sympathy for the two and thinks they have been mistreated. Which is enough to make Coen angry!

I suppose he does suspect him hiding something, though he doesn't want to. Apparently he's a strange combination of idealistic and bitter. Or rather he decides what he thinks about someone within a couple moments interaction and then it takes him months or years to change that image of someone even if it's wrong.

Anyway I'm rambling. So if Hilderinc or someone else spoke to Coen about it and got his suspicions going...well, if it was Hilderinc he might go straight to Athanar cause he trusts him so much. If it was someone else he doesn't trust as much, he'd go confront Thornden. But he also might feel he needs to confront Thornden and make *him* tell Athanar. Kind of like dragging a kid who's done something bad to apologize.

Er...anyway...I guess those are my thoughts. I see that you wanted to try to fit the reveal in possibly to the dinner the previous evening... I suppose Hilderinc could find Coen in the stables and inform him? That is if you both want to go through with that. It is up to you, Legate and Foley. Or we can hold off and keep building whatever tensions...

Folwren · 10-28-2010, 09:56 PM

Durelin, I'm so excited that you came and posted! Your post was really good. I like Coenred a lot.

It makes little difference that Coen and Hilderinc didn't talk the previous night. It can happen whenever. It happening this morning would be fine, or later. Legate, what do you think?

I wish I could post something tonight, but I can't. Besides that, I don't even know what I'd post about. Maybe Thornden asking Athanar if the messengers can stop by Garreth's smithy, but we've already said that'd be fine here on the discussion thread so I thought that maybe would be superfluous. But if others think not, maybe I'll post that. I dunno.

Anyway, I'll see about things in the morning. G'night, all.
