Ang, the "bell" system is based on the old church bell system, in which each bell stroke is for the number of hours after sunrise: in this case, since we're close to the equinox, we're assuming 6:00. So the eleventh bell would be at 5 p.m.

Great, thank you; glad I decided to stay temporally non-specific (mindful of earlier hang ups when I had to change dusk to dawn etc) and resisted temptation to describe the majestically gleaming Minas Anor starlight...looks like they have more than enough time then, which is perfect really. Chit chat, banquet, then I thought maybe a round of, er, charades

Anyone read Mansfield Park lately?

Ang- you need to tell me if Aerwen truly knows Aldarion's plays. If she does, then whatever answer you dream up for Aerwen to answer Aldarion's question with will serve as confirmation for Aldarion.

Anguirel · 05-13-2011, 07:05 PM

Aerwen is straight as a die (ahem), truthful and well-read, and not her kid brother's extension except in so far as she's agreed to come and grab Aldy

I'll write up a post tomorrow morning but after that may be less active till Sunday nightish

Well, I'm back in Boston. Today, and maybe even tomorrow, I'll be too jet-lagged/post-funeral exhausted to post, but I should be able to get back into the swing of things this week... if only to have something to keep busy with.

Hope all is well with you, Formendacil, and do take your time if you need it.

I'm going to be on the road for the next two days, but will post on Wednesday. I apologize for not posting, but at least it looks as if all the action tonight is not on my characters' end. Brinn is trying to jot down a general outline of the "real" plot, fuming that Aldarion isn't back with his information as promised, and Rollan, as usual, hasn't deigned to tell me what he's doing. So if anyone needs to borrow either of them for shenanigans, feel free to.

Aldarion is lost in thought, currently. Feel free to have Aerwen jolt him out or let him be. Whatever you think she ought to do.
