I've got about 10 billion things on my plate right now, so I don't mind waiting at all...

littlemanpoet · 01-15-2007, 09:47 AM

Kath, it appears that you have deleted the question Frodides asks about Randvér, whether he's going to stay for lunch.

littlemanpoet · 01-18-2007, 10:46 AM

The scene is now set for Ginna to embarrass herself.

Firefoot · 01-18-2007, 12:09 PM

You know, it just occurred to me that Leof hasn't been informed yet of Lifun and Ritun either. He didn't come back to the hall the previous night after caring for Thornden's horse, no one thought to tell him, and they only entered the hall in the morning as Leof and Javan were leaving it.

Oh, goodie.

Folwren · 01-18-2007, 02:03 PM

Hm. I think it's the same for Javan, pretty much. This morning at breakfast would have been the only time that he would have seen them, and me as a writer didn't notice. Wait...he was with Leof for breakfast and out in the stables before hand and afterwards, so I guess if Leof didn't see 'em, neither did Javan.

So! Is it alright if Javan and Leof get their surprise now, too?

I pity no one save Lefun and Ritun. Poor chaps.

Knock yourselves out. Or, er, your characters out.

Just a simple OC thing: "But maybe that's just because I feel alone," "That's a question best asked of my father," and "Though I hope not" should be italicised.

So this is how you welcome your newcomers?

Post coming up.

Kath · 01-21-2007, 08:18 AM

Corrections made Lhuna.

Folwren · 01-23-2007, 08:47 AM

Firefoot,

Is it alright if I move the two boys all the way out into the yard and get them to where they first spot Lefun and Ritun coming out of the back, kitchen door?

That replacement had now been found, but truth be told, there was enough work for both Kath and Frodides, even with Ginna's help on top of it all.

Indeed? Looks like I'll be moving to Rohan then.

Firefoot · 01-23-2007, 05:35 PM

Perfect, Folwren.

Yeah, I really think you ought to go. Why'dya pick such a close name to your moniker anyway.

Folwren · 01-27-2007, 08:21 PM

Elempi, do you want to post before me? I've been waiting for you, but if you're waiting for me, too, then we'll get no where....

littlemanpoet · 01-28-2007, 07:13 AM

Sorry, I've been the point man for a men's retreat at my church, which happened yesterday. Then 11 hours of much needed sleep.

I haven't looked at the Downs in I don't know how many days. Sorry. Back to it now.

I will have Falco answer Léof's question some time today.

Kath · 01-28-2007, 09:36 AM

Form I promise you I've not forgotten again, just been catching up on other RPGs. Kara should reply today and if she doesn't it will be tomorrow.

As long as I know it's not been forgotten, I'm quite willing to wait.. though I do look forward to having something to reply to.

Okay. I just wanted to make sure.

Glad your back. I hope everything went well.

littlemanpoet · 02-01-2007, 08:41 PM

Hello? Jenny? Eodwine needs some kind of response from Marenil, even if it's to excuse himself as suddenly ill or something.....

littlemanpoet · 02-04-2007, 08:52 PM

I'd like to move this day along to supper hour. Is that okay with everyone? Or does someone need to do something before then?

One'd have to ask Kath...

Kath? How're we doing? Does the general time of day matter to us much?

Thinlómien · 02-05-2007, 03:21 AM

Well, Modtryth should maybe meet Ginna. I wonder if someone's going to introduce them to each other, or if they should meet by chance. I'll write a post as soon as possible (after having negotiated with Lhuna though)... meybe a bit more than 24h from now, if that's okay, as Form and Kath still have their storyline going on...

And either me, Noggie or Cel could maybe write about the little guys...

Lhunardawen · 02-05-2007, 04:14 AM

I'm sure Ginna has to help Frodides with her work, but I'm waiting for Kath for that. Ginna's definitely up for meeting Modtryth. On the other hand, her writer's spirit is very much willing, but her flesh is weak.

So Ginna's in the kitchen with Frodides and Kara? I think Modtryth will sooner or later pop up in the kitchen because of her duties, so that's where she could meet Ginna, though that would maybe need some co-operation with Kath as well. Or then Modtryth could be doing shopping and would return only around the suppertime, and thus there'd be no hurry with the writing...

littlemanpoet · 01-15-2007, 09:49 AM

Kath, it appears that you have deleted the question Frodides asks about Randvér, whether he's going to stay for lunch.

Next thing is that Falco and "Rilef" are about to walk in, and it seems that it would be really appropriate for Ginna to shriek at the sight of the two-headed, two torsoed, and four-armed man. That would get various and sundry folk rushing to the kitchen to see if someone has gotten burned or worse, and would be perfectly, exquisitely embarrassing for Ginna & the twins, both. Doesn't that sound like fun?

Alrighty, I shall go change it.

It does sound like fun, and I believe Ginna was going to have an accident of some sort anyway so the two may well tie together.

Folwren · 01-15-2007, 11:59 AM

I'm sorry about my silence. I really did mean to write a post, but then our power went out on account of a huge ice storm. I'm still un able to write the post, even though the power is back. If we still have electricity this evening, I will write something. I have to be getting on now, though, so I'll talk to you all later.

-- Folwren

Thinlómien · 01-17-2007, 02:37 AM

I'm quite at loss with this sheep shearing. I know how it works in theory, and I even found two somewhat useful pages. (Wikipedia, look under "blade shears" and another.) I still think I lack the proper knowledge about medieval sheep-herding, sheep and sheep shearing to write a post about it...

So, I think I'll either write about Modtryth (though I must say the children are much more amusing) or try to find more information about the sheep things... If anyone has any knowledge about sheep, I'd be glad if s/he shared with us.

Thinlómien · 01-17-2007, 04:08 AM

Another thought, concerning Modtryth, crossed my mind. This far, her job has been shopping for the household and things that are related with it. Since that is not a work you do many hours every day, she's been also doing some cleaning and household things, but now that Ginna has arrived and there's a proper serving wench in the house, there is less for Modtryth to do. I think that as soon as she's heard of Ginna's arrival, she will go to ask somebody about the situation. Lord Eodwine, I guess then, since Saeryn's left?

I have efficiently wasted my possible writing-time for today, so I'll write something later this week.

littlemanpoet · 01-17-2007, 04:14 AM

Eodwine will jump at the chance to turn Modtryth into the hostess he now lacks; and this one, in his mind, will work out much better than the last, as Modtryth is married.
