of course, "toilet" was incorrect .. and i think the 'gentleman's room' much better - but it was the 'repair' that made me laugh ... though i took you to mean 'retire'??

but the more i think of old bumble and his ..er ..perhaps NEED to "repair" i rather prefer it ... it's funny!

i can hear him sighing and saying " 'at's better ..all sea-shape and bristol fashion ...' though it may need to be , what 'Cirdan fashion' ? or 'pelargir fashion' ??

we could have some fun translating phrases into Middle earth third age tharbad ... or inventing some new ones ... though my favourite is still 'sauron's balls!"

Gor: it's a

like lights on christmas trees, like strawberries and cream , like singing in the rain, like scooby and scooby snacks, like cofee in the teacup ....

yes, nice and vague, please! for poor dense little me who has trouble with geography and time!

Lotesse - just had an interesting thought - rpg-Rian is busy now, but Alagos is wandering around town - shall he (literally) bump into Viv and Laslach (sp?) ?

Rian The post is wonderful, but the timing was off, Oreturion was still in the middle of his conversation/interrogation and her students hadn't even arrived yet.

If it could be tweaked so that it happens before the class starts, with Oreturion still there that'd be great.

LMM , I doubt your students will arrive in the foreseeable future , as they are Marty and Ray, still racing somewhere.

And if the time is shifted to before the lesson, then how could Mahtaliel leave the forge and take the elves to the Library?

Why not leave it as it is, Oreturion before the lesson (at 3 PM) and Rian and Earniel after the lesson (6 PM)?

Nah, methinks you protest too much ....

(rpg-Eärniel had her eye on Elrond, didn't she?!?! )
As I said: still assuming too much...

Yeah... you've got a point. So much for optimism. I was going to have Oreturion take them. But really, why bother, it's fine the way it is.

I like that timing better, and I think M. could run them over quick before class starts, so I'll change it. And my post takes place after her conversation with O. - maybe I"ll put that in.

OK, Maggie and all, I edited my post and made Mahtaliel meet Rian and Earniel before her sword-smithing class. I like that timing better, and it also makes it a better time for Alagos to meet up with Viv. Let me know if that works with everyone's schedules.

Lotesse - go ahead and write that if you want to, or maybe I'll give it a whirl if I have enough time today. I'll take it out if you don't want it, though - your call


EDIT - just added more edits, adding in a reference to Oreturion leaving, Rian wishing to see the King again *meaningful stare in Val's direction*, etc.

Gor - is the Morgul Lord a semi public? If not is it ok for me to post his part and lead it on to Udu arriving?

No he is not semi-public, TD, he is MINE!

You can include some of his sentences, but I may ask you to edit, if I don't like it. OK?

I think the BIG tour around the library (including the vaults) will be reserved for the night. For now, let the Captain only show you the books and your apartment.

EDIT:TDI have put a place-holder for the Morgul Lord's visit to the library, that I would have before his talk with Khamul. Anyway, if Khamul arrives there at 5-6 PM, he will find the library open and the Chancellor there alone waiting for him.

Lotesse - I wrote in a meeting between Viv and Alagos. I'll can the whole thing if you'd like, or edit in whatever you tell me to. If you like it, go ahead and run with it

OK, it is your right,Rian, but, please, put the time "before 3 PM" in your post. "Late afternoon" won't do here! So much is happening... All the time continuity is in complete confusion!

Now, girls, you are in the Library? When are you planning to leave, if you came at three?

No problem, I'll go edit that in if it helps you

Not sure when we're leaving ... too many good books to check out! All we need to do is find Mahtaliel's assistant (probably in her classroom), when we're ready to go.

Posted it Gor. If the Morgul Lord seems a bit OOC then that was deliberate, since they are in public and the ML couldn't treat Khamûl as he usually does, but anything to OOC I'll happily edit.

well frankly i agree with Rian here: why is all in confusion??, because everyone is putting 150 / 220/ 3pm 4-5pm etc etc .... absolutely everywhere: thus everything gets narrowed and restricted, suddenly we are having continuity problems and restricting the flow ....

what,prey, is wrong with "late afternoon" ? ...does the trick, causes no problems ...

i DO think putting the odd time and day reference IS a good idea, but i think it is being done FAR too often and far too specifically: and this of course ripples out ...

Cutting edge TD (with injection):

CLASSIC! nice one TD ...

must use that myself ...

actually one thing from the movies that still sticks in me head (and despite myself, i like... ) is gimli falling off his horse (in the very badly mangled for absolutely NO GOOD REASON Rohan scenes) is the bit when gimli says in a scottish accent, after falling off ...

"it was deliberate - it was deliberate!"

just love the way he says it (not the scene just how he says it! )

ah TD, you are making me laugh and smile ..keep it up!!

*thoughts of the dufflepuds or monopods in CS lewis's Voyage of the dawn treader, spring athletically to mind unbidden but quite welcome*

"well done ..keep it up chief!!"



wonder why lewis named himself after Crazy squirrel though???

..id take it as a compliment crazy squirrel!

best all, BB
