The King's Players - Discussion/Planning Thread

[Galadriel55]

TP, please tell me you forgot to put a smiley there and that you aren't really serious. We're just waking up.

[the phantom]

Erm... Which day are you waking up on? Have we changed days?

I'm kind of lost because I actually asked this question already a couple days ago or so but my post and others got deleted so I never got my answer.

[Galadriel55]

We're on the morning of the day after Coldan and Aldarion's "fight". As you may have noticed, Coldan is having a bit of a hangover.

I lost track of how many days we've done, so if this is what you mean, I can't answer you...

[Mnemosyne]

I said I was okay as long as I could stick a save in there. Since Brinn and Elanor will need to interact, my statement still stands.

Oh, and we're on Day 3 out of 7.

[the phantom]

Oh, okay, gotcha... We're still the day after the fight.

Some players are still in the morning though? I already moved Aldarion into afternoon. No problem though- I can wait to move him into evening until Saturday (I should have some posting time then).

[Galadriel55]

Well, Brinn is just eating breakfast, so I thought it's still morning... But on the other hand, Coldan and Amdir have been walking for quite a while, so for *them* it might be late morning...

Mnemo, it's your word on this.

[Formendacil]

Ummm... depending on which story you're following, Galadriel is right about it being morning--Elanor Gamgee hasn't got past 2nd Breakfast yet, I don't think. Coldan and Amdir are somewhat farther ahead--in the late lunchtime zone (if not ready to be back in Minas Anor), but I don't know if anyone else is really ready to jump to the evening.

Depends, I suppose, on what they plan to have happen today...

Also, Pitch, I'm not sure if/when I'll get that next post up, so if you want to move ahead from Coldan's perspective, go ahead.

EDIT: "cross-posted" with everyone on this page because I didn't read those posts until AFTER I posted, even though they substantially predate mine.

[Boromir88]

I think what I'm going to have Branor do, in order to jump back into things.

He would be quite pleased with the Brinn convo so just went to bed shortly after. Upon waking up he will be searching for Therian and bring both of them back into the action, if Fea is alright with Therian coming back in now?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Leave out Therian for a bit longer. I have a plan. (He's definitely not on premises right now.)

You're ahead of me there - I thought more like late morning to early noonish, depending on how long it took us to reach Hallas' place. I can make short work of the actual loading, but I insist on that fine lunch you promised me (even if I have to write it myself).

Thanks, will do so.

EDIT: Sorry for my present attack of posting sluggishness. Had something in the writing a little earlier, but was interrupted and can't get back into the flow now. I'll do my best to finish & post it tomorrow.

[Mnemosyne]

I'm about halfway through Brinn's conversation with Elanor, and will be ready to post it sometime tomorrow. So this is a "speak now or forever hold your peace" (or just write a flashback later ) for Asta and Thiliel.

For those who are still timeline-obsessed, the conversation's going to take place from 10:00 till about... 11:30? Elanor will provide great amounts of research material, but if she manages to weasel her way into the production too much, I have a feeling she'll be a bit of a nuisance.

Also, I'm open for PM conversations if anyone's raring to plan something for later in the evening. Brinn still needs to speak with Coldan, and probably Asta once she figures out all of what happened the previous night, and then there's all of the technical work she has to do as well.

[Nerwen]

My apologies at taking so long to fill in that save for Asta, but I've had a difficult week.

Anyway I think we can move on– just assume Asta told Elanor a whole lot more of the Players' garbled concepts.

[Galadriel55]

Your post was hilarious, Nerwen! It was worth the wait!

Mnemo, I thought that fifteen minutes is an ok time to eat a breakfast without hurry. I can change that if you want. And tell me if I need to change something with Brinn and Elanor.

?



As for the evening, maybe some storytelling from Ingold? It's just an idea; this won't change anything, since the Players already have most of the information. Possibly he can give his memories of Gandalf and Pippin coming to Gondor. Otherwise, nothing really new. This could (and should) be discarded if there's a better plan.

[Pitchwife]

And that's the last of these oversized posts for now and the foreseeable future. (I hope.)

Formy, I'm afraid I may have overstepped the bounds a bit by doing so much ventriloquy with Amdír in my zeal to move the story on in your absence. If that is so, please don't hesitate to tell me. And as always, if I need to change anything (e.g. Amdír's war memories, which I made up as best I could from what information I had but which you may imagine quite differently) just say so (or better yet, PM me any revisions you'd like me to make and I'll edit them in).

Unless you have anything in mind for our way back, I think we could just cut to Coldan's and Amdír's arrival at the inn, and Coldan will be at Brinn's disposal when she wants him.

Mnemo, lovely dialogue between Brinn and Elanor (but what did I expect)!
As for Elanor becoming a bit of a nuisance, let her! An(other) outsider trying to meddle with the production might be just what our crew need to rally together, or what do you think?

And Nerwen, thumbs up for "Ah... that dragon". Whatever happens, we can't write good old Smaug out of the play, can we?
