OOC: The Mithril Knights v2.0

[SmaugsBane]

I'll email you in a bit with my ideas. Thanks for being a good sport.

[Vanaladiel]

I edited mine as well so that the others can post what they need to in order to meet what is necessary to get us moving home again.

[Cock-Robin]

Anytime. I was afraid my post wasn't worth anything, but I'll go with it. I'll look forward to hearing your ideas in your email, SB.

[Bardhwyn]

First, my thanks for the kindly compliments; I am very grateful. It is satisfying to know the words I string together move people. It's why I do it, after all.

And speaking of 'being moved': SB, I'm am quite moved you want to incorporate the narrative into the story line; genuinely moved. You may not realize this but I've long felt a strong bond with the character of Dirk because of our shared Bowmen days. To be a part of the character's culmination means a lot to me. Thank you.

Perhaps you and I can use Facebook to sort out just how you want the piece incorporated; no doubt there will be small edits required if you use it in its entirety and also, you will be able to clearly say 'stop here!'

Just so you know - If you have a Fonstad to hand ( mine is the 1994 edition) on pages 76/77 is the two page map of Wilderland. Upper right hand corner of page 76 is a depiction of the Long Lake - in my mind's eye the procession is just south of the Long Marshes, about 6-10 miles south of Esgaroth - so they're not there yet. The people have set out to meet them, is all.

And you know, I always thought Lake Town was on the eastern shore!! I wonder where I got that idea from?

Onwards! Upwards! Storytelling Awaits!

Wanna know how I'd like the post integrated? Scroll up, highlight it, ctrl-c, go to the story thread, click "post a reply", ctrl-v. Yep, that should just about cover the changes I require before I post the conclusion and ask that the story and this OOC be locked.

You all are amazing and I've forgotten how much fun this is. My new character, by the very nature of being a new character, won't be as integral to the story, but I certainly will be keeping up with ya'll.

[Tempest]

I'm ready to move on too---last post for Tempest in the main thread unless you need her to do any more clean-up with the Dunedain. She's up for anything, but I can't help having her be sulky towards the bard. She has to channel her anger towards someone!!

[Cock-Robin]

Wonderful post, Tempest! I'm glad she's mad at Erinhue and not at Meneldor, LOL! I'm anxious to move on as well. SB, I just sent you an email so we can work on what is to come and how I can go about it. I'll be looking forward to it as well as our new adventures, as a new Mithril Knight. Vana, I completely forgot that you are Brondgast's mentor. I'm sorry we didn't post too much together. Maybe we could make that up on the way.

[erinhue]

So this is another fine mess I've gotten myself into. I never considered this revolting developement. TEMPEST IS MAD AT ME Glad I did head for the hills...and I'm gonna keep on running.

We'll I can certainly manage that.

Just post 'GO, BARDY, GO!' when you're ready, and I'll oblige...

[Guruthostirn]

It may not be significant in size, but I'll get one last post up.

Who's left after me? And Nin has something going but we haven't seen her lately. I hope we're not stepping on her plans...or she can fit her stuff into either the Memorial thread or one of the other threads that have popped up surrounding our ending.

Edit: okay, my final contribution is done.

[Claymore]

SB by the way sorry if Dirk ended up looking like my boyfriend

[Cock-Robin]

A beautiful picture!

[erinhue]

Yeah I must agree. Very touching image. Ya never know what secret talents are out there. Good Job

[Cock-Robin]

SB, did you get my email?

[nienor-niniel]

Sorry for not writing earlier - I work too much, for sure.

I wrote - not yet posted as I type this - (and I hope it's okay) a little addition to the main thread, no action, just thoughts and will have a look at the rest right ahead.

I try to read at least this thread regularly, but have really been working like mad: I'm going on trip to Poland with students soon, lots of practical and mental preparation (we will see Auschwitz and if you take students there, you have to prepare them), my mother had her 70th birthday and we celebrated that here and did all the cooking, Matthias will be going to the Tchad for work and the political situation there is not really stable, we plan a trip to Guatemala (and Greece) for the summer... - and just general overload.

It's such a great read! I'm sorry for contributing so late and so little.

[SmaugsBane]

It's very nice Nin. I'm glad you got to post. C-R I got your email. No worries, mate. Thanks for following along with my whims. I'm just about ready to wrap this up.

[Guruthostirn]

Nin, no worries, we all understand when real life keeps a person away. Besides, it sounds like you're doing all sorts of very interesting things! I'm glad you found time to post, it's always a pleasure to see you writing with us. Great post!

[Bardhwyn]

I'll readily second that, Nin; great post. Lovely descriptives and very emotionally engaging. Thank you!

Ok, I have been given the literal 'green light' from SB, so I shall, and I quote ' Scroll up, highlight it, ctrl-c, go to the story thread, click "post a reply", ctrl-v' on the piece describing the 'journey home'.

[Cock-Robin]

Good post, Bardy! Meneldor had left, however, but dont' edit it. I'm about to have him return, in the other thread.

[Bardhwyn]

Thank you, CR and when I asked about editing, I wasn't given an indication it was required, so no, I won't be.

[Cock-Robin]

I just posted Meneldor's return to the field in the Battle Wanes thread.

[erinhue]

I just reposted something from the Battle Wanes thread because I thought it really also belonged in the MK story thread. I suppose The Bard's disappearance needs to be addressed in the story in which he did said disappearing.

OK I'll fess up, the real reason is that my ego just couldn't stay out of it any longer

[SmaugsBane]

LOL. We are all well acquainted with ego.

[Bardhwyn]

What is this of which you all speak?

I know of no ?

[SmaugsBane]

the of which we speak refers to the size of Erinhue's ego

[Cock-Robin]

Thanks, Hue! I might copy and past my post over there for here as well. Glad to hear from you, SB!

[Bardhwyn]

the of which we speak refers to the size of Erinhue's ego

* wiggles eyebrows *


OOoooooh.... that !

[erinhue]

This is what comes of making a grand gesture thinking things are going to go one way and then not thinking the whole thing through before you get carried away and then things dont got the way ya thought. Now I have put myself in a corner so ta speak and I gotta write my way out of it. that could be a good thing and this last post has lead me to an idea or two.

Hmmm Wonder what Tempest would do should the bard suddenly return along the way. this time Im gonna do some thinking before I act, maybe

[Cock-Robin]

She might sic her pet bear on you, LOL. Great post, Hue! It had me weeping.

[Guruthostirn]

Hmm. Erinhue, if I may be so bold, when the time comes, the Bard could use some elvish wisdom, and Anorast would be pleased to help him deal with questions of fate. You've got me inspired again, my friend, thank you!
