*flaps in* Found an egg! *flaps out*
If anyone wants to approach Lailyn & cart of mead in LitM Mettare, please feel free!
*Yoshiyo, likely still drunk, amples on over* I will try and get a post this weekend to that effect 
Awesome Special Ranks - everyone looks perfectly shined up for spring x
@Call of Bearthulhu so glad that means Yoshiyo survived her nap in the snowbank after Mettare
Too bad Lailyn will not likely have any hangover tonics close at hand, just more alcohol..
@Winddancer your last post in Mettare was simply adorable and heartwarming. I'm sorry if the interaction was at all rushed, I was trying to wrap up to a satisfying end before the thread is closed. I think they will have to meet again soon.
@Aodh Hammerhelm *preens* my thanks. I hope you are keeping your head up!

@Lailyn,
Aye-so, chin well up, thanks. More than I'd like, actually. Need to bend my head over a keyboard and get posting.
@Winddancer, probably a glitch (or hangover from April Fool celebrations I've missed)? I'm sporting a Mordor XI rank badge

I think you look wonderful with the shiny ring, @Aodh Hammerhelm! I think you should keep it
@Aodh Hammerhelm clear your cache or/and cookies and it should go back to normal! 
I love how you tagged me, as if I did it <3 Totally something I would do too..
@Aodh Hammerhelm you look great with the ring but I almost didn't recognize you! I look forward to reading your stories again whenever you feel up to it.
@ ET AL ===>
I'm back to horsey normal
I'm back to horsey normal
Hello all you lovely horsies! I'm back! I'll be slowly dipping my toe back into activities the next couple weeks so as not to get overwhelmed, but it's wonderful to see all your faces again! 
Welcome back Aodh and Taeth! Will be nice to see you guys around again :D
Welcome back Taeth, Aodh
It's great to have you back and I'm really looking forward to reading your new adventures whenever you write and post them 
Thanks Windy and Nessa!
@Nessa Saelind - do you still want to do apprentice stuff at Awesnis with Eldreda and Rihannon? We can easily timeskip whenever the next Riddermarket opens, and Rihannon can bring her finished trial project for Eldreda to inspect, or we can do it in Life in the Mark if we want to start sooner than that.

Welcome back @Taethowen it is great to see you!! 
@Taethowen - of course!
I wrote a paragraph or two of the post where I meant to show Rihannon working on the project, but I wasn't satisfied with how it turned out and I got stuck for a while. Then the ARPY work came along and I got more stuck and needed to get unstuck
However, I think I finally figured out how to get unstuck so I can post that part in Life in the Mark and we can figure everything out from there and coordinate depending on RL and other things. 
Woot on both \@Aodh Hammerhelm and @Taethowen back! The world is slowing coming right again.
Can't wait to write more adventures with both of you!

@Lailyn
can't wait for more Taeth and Lailyn friendship RP <3
@Nessa Saelind awesome! If you want, I can toss up a letter to Nessa from Eldreda setting up a meeting at Eldreda's home in Edoras while we wait on a new Riddermarket thread to open lol. (Unless @Shivased is going to open a non-Mettare Riddermarket soon?)
@Fuin Elda

@Fuin Elda
@Taethowen - I think Rihannon owes Eldreda a thank you letter for her Mettare gifts, I need to put that on my list of posts that need to be written by Sunday
and get my writing sorted
currently it's notebook/document/folder chaos.
@Taethowen yes!! maybe with less crying this time.
I've placed myself on a temporary ban from writing sad Lailyn posts..
Tomorrow I will be updating the Riddermarket. No new thread since there isn't that many posts. Just a name change and time/weather update.
@Nessa Saelind & @Fuin Elda,
I'm almost ready to begin reposting. Hopefully a few tentative posts next week, followed by a loud HUZZAH! on 27th April and onward.
@Taethowen ~ Good to see you back!
@Shivased I like that the Riddermarket time slot is being updated. It shall suit dear Sheemie.

@Nessa Saelind no rush! Whenever things get up, they get up!
@Lailyn LOL, same! Lail and Taeth both deserve some happiness for a while now, even if some of it might be bittersweet.
@Shivased woohoo, thanks! You can also put Awesnis back on the open list whenever you've got a moment. <3
@Aodh Hammerhelm Same to you! I hope you've been well!

Yes, agreed!
bittersweet is perfect.
@Taethowen,
All good with me, freond. Stumbling along through this mad RL world of ours and keeping safe. I'm hoping to make my long promised come back RP this week. I have an important date to commemorate, so it seems the perfect opportunity.

Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth again for a bit, folks. Life went nuts. I think things are settling down again, though. I hope.
@Taethowen - on behalf of the Don't Worry, It's OK Team (there's no such team, but we'll go with it for artistic reasons
) here's a big *hug* and don't worry
RL is crazy most of the time, but the Plaza and folks will be here whenever you have the time to come back and RP. 
@Nessa Saelind
thanks hun. It was just all sorts of insanity, lol. My dog caught kennel cough from the neighborhood strays the city insists don't exist whenever I call animal welfare out, there was a SWAT raid on the street behind us because of a domestic violence issue, and we have a flea infestation we're trying to conquer right now. Plus regular garden stuff for this time of year, lol! The good news is that my potatoes are doing GREAT, hah!
But needless to say, there just haven't been many extra spoons for a while, but I think the fog is finally lifting (until the next big round of garden things)!

@Taethowen - looks like you had a quite exciting time there, but the most important thing is that your potatoes are doing great! That's the kind of gardening/farming news I'm here for! 
ARPY's gathering us to celebration
They put on a splendid show
But the flag goes up
And the world still spins
(Aaa-ooo!)
I had disappeared from my plaza nation
I became a real no-show
I gotta get back to the plaza
Now the journey home begins…
(Aaa-ooo!)
So what’d I miss?
What’d I miss?
Oh Rohan, my home sweet home, I wanna give you a kiss
I’ve been in RL trying get back to the Riddermark...
I guess I basic’lly abandoned my story arc
I travelled the world wide web and came back to this…
(Aaa-ooo!)...
What’d I miss?
(Wha? Wha? What’d I miss?)
What’d I miss?
(I’ve come home to this?)
Headfirst into assassin plots again!
(Wait, what! Assassin again?!)
I saw my shock ARPY win just today
(Chik-a-pow!)
I guess I better think of something to say
I’m already on my way (On my way)
To get back on with this…

@Allacan ob Burzum
Good to see you're back, freond.
I've gone all MIA (again!) So much going on in the real world, most of it good.
I'm hoping to make a long appearance in the threads soon. I have a tale (woven of many stories) to resume.
Miss you all, day by day by day
AH ~

Aodh, Alla, love seeing you both back! 
Huggles @Aodh Hammerhelm Happy to hear good things are happening in RL
@Winddancer I confirm that I have read and understood the <insert compulsory training module title here>, signed Allacan.
I won't be logging on more than one evening a week for a while, as things in life are a bit manic, but hopefully that isn't too slow for some stories to be told.
@Lailyn Oh my that sounds beautiful and perfect for what has happend to Allacan (she loves honey, she wouldn't shut up about its healing properties when she was a haeland), but I also suspect we also need to do something about that body.
Given @Shivased apparently needs some distraction in the Dragon Room, do you think one (or both) of you are welcome to post in there reporting the, errr... unfortunate incidents. I'll be on reading and watching to provide clues about the body to anyone who needs it (kinda an informal story-only GM) and can join in as 'unconscious-having-baaaad-dreams' Allacan too, if she gets dragged about. I'm fairly certain Shiva is still angry Allacan ditched the roll-call so that should be entertaining enough for her.
For clarity, my main isn't going to be regaining consciousness until certain circumstances are met. I'm leave my beloved character in Rohan's capable hands.

Allacan ob Burzum wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 7:57 pm @Lailyn and @Nia any idea where Allacan's cursed, comatose body has been deposited? Throughout my 6 month absence from the plaza I have been comforted to think that my beloved, broken main PC can just be lying in a coma-state somewhere cared for by her old friends while she internally battles whatever dark entity has possessed her. I assume her internal battles can be as boring or as visible as any carer/healer likes, and that she has simply slipped in and out of consciousness for a few months while she is being tended to.
Lailyn wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 9:58 pm @Allacan ob Burzum is still unconscious in the alley with Lailyn and @Nia who were hoping to find a healer to help and that's where we left off. Um I think we still have a dead body to deal with, too. She's safe and in good hands and we can pick up wherever you want, skip ahead/agree on off-screen stuff, whatever you want really, I don't mind. She is definitely not with @Winddancer (please note the use of the word healer, not torturer...) unless of course you would like that to happen in which case I can guarantee Lailyn will be running away very fast but if you meant with Sigrid that would also work if all parties are keen.
Allacan ob Burzum wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 10:16 pm I was in equal parts terrified and eager to discover how @Winddancer had gotten her hands on Allacan, but if that is simply her wishful thinking then I am happy to deny her (for now) and have Alla confirmed as in your capable hands.
If you and @Nia are keen to finish RPing the story out in Fields and Forests then you are welcome to, but given it has grown stagnant it may be best to skip forwards to a point where the body of Galulf has been handed over to the authorities (I can maybe speak to @Shivased as Marshal of the Mark about that one) and the other two have taken Allacan to some kind of healing house where she is currently being treated. That way we can jump straight back in with some fresh RP and maybe enable new players to join in (eyes Windy suspiciously).
Allacan is under the influence of a pretty dark spell right now so she won't really have been conscious and compos mentis' she needs something very specific doing about her (coughpossessioncough) ailment before she will be back to her usual self, which may require a bit of puzzle-solving and other PC involvement. Having been spoon-fed in a bed as she lapsed in/out of consciousness for months in the meantime is perfectly legit.
Nia wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 10:31 am @Allacan ob Burzum (welcome back!!) @Lailyn - would be very happy to pick this up with you both in a healing house somewhere! I'm afraid my time commitment will be a little limited over next few weeks, so I also give you both full permission to do a bit of Nia-god-moding to stop her being stood gormless like a lemon at any point if there's a delay in any posts for me!

Ok, that's everything moved over from HoH OOC I think?Lailyn wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 7:16 pm @Allacan ob Burzum @Nia that sounds good to me! If you want a little segue, let me know and I can post a timelapse-y thing somewhere (F&F? LitM? the Infirmary? many options) of Allacan's care? Lailyn would happily spoon-feed (hope Alla likes honey), probably brush and braid her hair and read stories to the patient while she battles (literal) demons. Should we perhaps move to the Rohan OOC thread for further discussion, I don't want to impose on Gondorian hospitality...

@Allacan ob Burzum I will get to replying to Grimthain in the next couple days (probably tomorrow or Friday, but no guarantees!)
@Allacan ob Burzum - once a week, once a month, whatever works for you. don't feel you have to hold yourself to a once a week commitment. 
Ok. I can do a little segue and with @Nia's permission, I can mention her helping in a very very general way, only doing nice things of course. I think I'll put it in F&F for continuity purposes. If you have a preference for Allacan's location, let me know, or I can leave it very general. I'm pretty comfortable with ambiguity, and also fine with Lail's house for her convalescence.
I can bring Lailyn by the DR to report the body as I think she offered to deal with it if its just going to be a couple of posts. She won't want to be part of the investigation other than notifying authorities, as her focus would be more on the patient and I've also currently got her in quite a few timelines/places/threads that if I start adding more, I am going to wind up getting confused and no one wants to see that.
and -- a question for continuity and stuff as I think ahead... will Alla's tattoo be revealed when they go to tend her wounds, assuming the makeup will be washed off? So far, I've been playing Lailyn as blissfully unaware of Alla's "alter ego".

awesome I look forward to reading, Nia!!

Thanks Nessa! 
Is that... is that a smoochy smily from Windy?!?! *takes a screenshot and runs away cackling*
@Shivased No hurry, freond min. Slow and steady works well for me
@Lailyn Fields and Forests works for me; I'll join you there as 'delirious' Allacan once you are up and running. I have no preference for where she's ended up being cared for; I leave that entirely to your discretion. As for the tattoos; yes, they are blatantly there for all to see, as are the torture scars on her legs and various other war wounds.
I'll also keep my eyes on the Dragon Room regarding reporting the body.

You got it 
@Allacan ob Burzum @Nia the time lapse has commenced. let me know if you want anything modified or if I made any mistakes (F&F or DR) and I'd be happy to fix! I left the physical setting really vague because 1) it was already getting quite long and 2) I'd rather leave it to you and Old Mama Mute, Alla. 
Yay, I got posts up! Well...I got 3 posts up.
I'm terribly sorry if I have missed everyone, I sort of lost track in the craziness that was end-of-school-year at work. They kept changing the plan on us, so we had to keep re-doing our plan for the last day, then have to re-do it again....I'm extremely happy for the 2 months of nothing ahead of me.
If I've missed anyone who is waiting on a post from me, just poke me!
