Minas Tirith City Hall (OOC)

[Gwai]

Helm's Deep is in trouble! Classified information is being smuggled out, and the Cavalry needs somebody trustworthy to investigate!

[Lail]

Thanks. I'm sure I'll come up with questions. Feel free to let me know if I get any Gondorian Things wrong.
@Nessa Saelind - ohh well I could possibly bring in either of my Riders of Rohan who were both in Gondor at some point as patients but I'm also sure my Gondorian character will get in trouble and need a healer at some point...and there are quite a few interesting threads to explore here! Deciding is the hard part.

[Winddancer]

All! Do them all! :P

[Nessa Saelind]

I'm with Windy here! But in all honesty @Elaena Targaryen wherever in Gondor you end up have fun and if you need an RP partner for a quest/thing/something it can be arranged.

Yeez I sound like fixer or something need to injest more coffee before I start interacting with people

[Pele Alarion]

Should get ready for RP then? *rubs hands together eagerly*

[Lail]

All the characters, all the threads or all of the above, Windy?
@Nessa Saelind Lol you can be my fixer! I will be sure to pop by HoH eventually. This Ent usually needs some time to mull things over a bit. I've been thinking about posting here for a while and only just got around to it..

Gosh if anyone ever says Gondor isn't welcoming, I will challenge them to a duel

[Eldrith]

@Pele Alarion @Arnyn

I am indeed back. Not hundred percent but.. functional again! That's reason enough to celebrate. And yes, I can pick up where we were if you want to.

[Winddancer]

All of the above Lail!

@Anyone, if anyone wants to rp a strict Tower Guard that is going to arrest Thea, my npc let me know!

[Nessa Saelind]

I will be sure to pop by HoH eventually.

I love the smell of patients in the morning! Sorry, the line was stronger than me. I swear I'm not usually this demented, this is a side effect of research, too much coffee, little sleep and plenty of writing.

[Lail]

Should've known you'd say that, Windy. You know I want to do it all!!
On that note, I'm thinking about having Hathaldir stop by the Tower Guard to sign up in which case he could be available to make an arrest if its a rookie-appropriate level of crime? I might need some time to get there though, the next week for me is

@Nessa Saelind - In my experience the smell of patients in the morning is not good but they were all feline, so..I'm sure you can imagine the smells.

[Winddancer]

Oh dear, Nessa..

@Lail You don't really need to sign up in the Guards, just begin posting. Though you are of course welcome to if you really want to do the rp, far be it from me to stop the rping! :P

It would be a rookie assignment, she is just a petty "thief". Ms Irma will be quite "persuasive" in making the guard do the arrest :P And dont worry about time, havent even written the post where she is out on the streets yet :P

Sorry your week will be bad though <3

[Nessa Saelind]

's OK, Windy :-) The whole thing reminds me of uni, when the whole class rushed to finish their essays and thesis’ before we started cramming for the exams. Fun times, but looking back now, don’t know how I survived them

[Winddancer]

[Lail]

Ok sounds good. Just give me a poke and I'll get there when I can. Hmm what kind of "persuasive" are we talking here? My mind goes in many directions with that..
Meh its ok I'll survive the week (I hope) and you all make it better anyhow!

[Winddancer]

<3

Persuasive as a b*tchy old thieving mean cow can be She will be yelling and demanding something be done.

[Nessa Saelind]

Windy, your Ms Irma sounds like a retailer's worst nightmare. I'm guessing Lali's poor rookie guad is gonna look like this after dealing with her.

[Winddancer]

He will likely have him do it just to shut her up! :P

[Lail]

Bahaha oh no not angry women, they are the scariest!! Hope he can take it or he'll have one hell of a short career.

[Winddancer]

[Winddancer]

Attention all!

Going to start a short mission-like rp with the Mordor Army. If you are Mordorian you are welcome to join in! Assembly is in the Army thread and will then move to the Land of Shadows free rp thread (dont need to join the army to join in!). If you want to be on the other side, let me know and we can work something out!

[Winddancer]

@Little Bird Lail if you are still wanting to do a Tower Guard post, then feel free to be the guard Ms. Irma accosts here: viewtopic.php?p=35336#p35336 <3 If you have changed your mind, then no worries! <3 And no hurry either!

[Nessa Saelind]

BTW @Winddancer if at some future point you'll need a character witness/someone to bail Thea/insert whatever you need let me know, I'll be more than happy to pitch in the Save Thea campaign :-) Oh, and you can find me on Discord too if need be, I'm NarratriceNessa#2933 (I opened an account (peer pressure I tell ya!), don't use it much )

[Winddancer]

Thanks! Will definitely be doing that! <3

[Lail]

Windy, you got it! I'll be there. I am guessing Tower Guards have some kind of uniform? Please let me know if there is anything else I need to know/any more specific direction you want it to go.

[Winddancer]

Yes would definitely think they had a tabard or tunic that showed they were Tower Guards and the weapon as well I would think? @Pele Alarion @Karis Ziranphel might know more about that than me?

And she needs to be arrested and taken to the prison, which is this thread: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=344 (there are 2 sections, the royal dungeouns and the regular prison) but this is after going by the Tower Guard thread to report the arrest to the Captain. He will then have you escort her to the prison after interrogating her and Ms. Irma.

Btw is anyone wants to play the horrid Ms Irma, lemme know!

[Pele Alarion]

Hmmm. I know about Rangers. :D But suppose Tower Guards might have black trousers and black tabard with the White Tree. And a guard without a weapon just might not be effective.

[Winddancer]

@Little Bird Lail see the Tower Guard thread, there is a pic. That might offer some inspiration :) If you dont want the long polearm? Then just have a sword.

[Lail]

Hang on. He can’t wear a cape of pink flamingo feathers?! GAH.. I need to go make some edits now...

Seriously, thanks, that works for me! My only Plaza experience having a character in any similar group is the Rohan Cavalry. Memory tells me we had well-defined uniforms/gear (which was often discussed/debated to the point of exhaustion). I tend to be a less is more type of person soo black + tree + a weapon = perfect!

It sounds like I am getting a tiki tour of Gondor but poor Thea, she seems to be having a rough day..

[Winddancer]

Way rough day Will teach her not to have lunch with strangers and sign scrolls in her own blood :P

[Nessa Saelind]

Hmmm. I know about Rangers. :D But suppose Tower Guards might have black trousers and black tabard with the White Tree. And a guard without a weapon just might not be effective.

If memory serves me right I think there was a description of the guard's uniforms and helmets somewhere in RotK in the chapters with Pippin. I think swords were mentioned, spears and helebards could be of use too, but I don't remember those being mentioned. But yeah, all black with a White Tree and some kind of sword should do the trick, and it looks like it did Poor Thea. No, actually scratch that, poor guards once the Save Thea Comitte arrives in style

[Winddancer]

[Nessa Saelind]

OMG Windy were in Middle Eart did you dig up that image for Ms Irma?! I am choking with laughter just looking at it! She is hilarious!

[Winddancer]

No idea, came across her looking for potential npc pics :P

[Lail]

OMG I second that Ms Irma made me laugh out loud so much!!

[Nessa Saelind]

"(...) Ms Irma, who informed me she is the venerable Head Laundress of the Garrison.”

OMG Lail you made me laugh so hard when I came to this part of your post. The Venerable Head Laundress You can have all the cookies for this one :-)

[Lail]

@Nessa Saelind - I couldn't resist. Glad I made you laugh! *noms cookies*

[Pele Alarion]

*wanders in and around, somewhere about, looking for the lost spark of inspiration*

[Nessa Saelind]

From today my regularly scheduled 2 weeks leave started! I was supposed to go to Zagreb to visit family and hit Interliber (international book fair), but that's cancelled do to COVID, so I'm having a staycation? Is that how the cool kids say it when you're on leave and enjoying the comforts of home? So you might see a "flurry" of activity from me in the kingdom since I'll have time to sit down and write all those things I've been plotting in my head for months.

[Winddancer]

Ooo! More Nessa! I have a week off from the 13th! Maybe time to pop some babies out! :P

[Nessa Saelind]

Windy - Well it's high time we get those twin bunns out of the oven

[Winddancer]

Indeed! :D

[Ercassie]

Sorry for seemingly abandoning things Pele. I should be at the Marketplace for you soon though, and from there erm .. hopefully I shall remember where else I owe you responses.

[Pele Alarion]

@Ercassie, maybe your activity might help me pick myself up. Dunno what happened even... Just disappeared for unknown reasons.

[Nessa Saelind]

*the pick-up committee consisting of the one woman cheerleader squad is in town the whole year*

[Pele Alarion]

Hmm. *collects some inspiration from the committee as well*

[Lail]

*shares a draught of ENTspiration with other-tree icon-wearing friends* (but please save some for me, too!)

[Moriel]

Hobbits, Big Folk, all and sundry! Farmer Maggot has inspected a patch of common ground in Hobbiton and pronounced it absolutely perfect for growing food, fruit and flowers of all sorts - and perhaps even mushrooms! But which will flourish best in such earth? Farmer Maggot has a huge collection of mushroom spores - and some other mysterious seeds and cuttings as well - but alas, he’s not very organised and he can’t be sure which is which. Time for us good hobbits (and other folk) to get out there and experiment.

Come help Farmer Maggot plant his mystery crop (and crops of your own), and see who will have the most productive growing season! There will be special prizes along the way, a tasting session to see whose crop is most delicious, and prizes for the largest veg! Watch out for weather and other events- you never know what might happen. All are welcome, though minions should be at least semi-plausibly disguised and behave themselves!

MARVELOUS MUSHROOM GROWING CONTEST!!

[Allacan ob Burzum]

@Moriel I don't think your link is working; it says "You cannot edit posts in this forum"

Also, are we likely to get a final update on the Shuttlecraft race; even if Georgiou IC is abandoning the race, I still want to know who the final winners were.

[Winddancer]

Fixing them <3

[Moriel]

@Winddancer you're a star.

Thanks for catching that, @Allacan ob Burzum! And yes, an update is coming
