When Aldarion's back, it shall be done.

Sorry Coldan, poor chap.

I'll be moving Aldarion to his next stop during my late lunch. Inzil- if you wish to bump into him get it done before late tonight or tomorrow afternoon, as that's when I'm going to have him back at the inn.

[the phantom]

Heh- x-post, Inzil. So, your character is in the third circle then? If you wish to go ahead and get him a bit closer to the fourth level gate (the house I'm leaving is near it) I can have Aldarion bump into you or something.

EDIT: never mind, Aldarion's on the fourth level already, you want to meet him there?

OK, Boro, I'll forward your apology to Coldan if I run into him.
Don't pity him too much though; the way he's started to behave lately, he may fight back.

Question to phantom re this:

Lest Coldan make further false accusations against Aldarion: did this change happen before or after Aldarion's involvement with the script, and is it connected with the Boromir-Mary-romance or not (in other words, was the romance a change by Aldarion or not)?

Since Aldarion's heading for the Fifth Circle, I changed it. Let me know if anything else should be altered.

It's fine to attribute the romance (and therefore slight increase in Mary's part) to Aldarion, as his thinking would be, "Well okay, there's a pretty elf-woman in this fellowship along with the top general/prince of Gondor. May as well add a romance." What Aldarion would take issue with is that it was ever his idea to have "Mary" in the first place. (He took what he was given and imposed a bit of his personality on it.)

As far as decreasing Eowyn's role, perhaps Aldarion, though he doesn't like Therian's attitude towards women, disagrees with the way Brinn chooses to punish Therian (by giving him female roles), as it negatively impacts the play as a whole in Aldarion's opinion. Thus I can imagine Aldarion attempting to decrease the time Lady-Therian is on the stage.

Inzil- Aldarion's father isn't dead, he's just back in Dol Amroth. (If it was a misunderstanding from that last post, it was his friend Cirion that died.)

[Mnemosyne]

Thanks for keeping the game rolling during my absence, all. This weekend has turned me into a zombie.

Anyone know where I can find some fresh brains? Or even slightly rancid ones would be okay at this point...

Doh! Fixed now.

I've been lurking, if not participating. Most of my 'writing' has been telling B88 what, if anything, to include for Therian. I had a course description due yesterday and I have a copy of my entire Master's thesis due tomorrow, hence my inactivity. I should be around more after tomorrow.

Anyway, Therian is unhappy and I've written that up as a method by which to disguise my inactivity. He's trying to be unnoticed so he won't get canned thanks to Branor, and I don't have to fuss with him every few minutes. See y'all soon!

[Galadriel55]

Isn't it Coldan who suggested the switch, not Branor?

Poor guy! Now he has an angry Therain on him as well!

I'll try to post soonish. I think I'll send Thiliel off to her room for a while so that she won't add to the mess.

Hm. Technically true...

Nevertheless, I think I'll still have Therian blame Branor for bringing up the idea of recasting Therian in the first place.

These two remind me of Legolas and Gimli.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I think I was aiming a little more for Jay and Silent Bob, but Legolas and Gimli are pretty cool dudes...

Sorry for my absence yesterday, was too tired to write. I'll post Coldan's reaction to Nerwen's last in an hour or two.
