Son of the Evening Star - Anyone Interested?

[Curufin]

Silence, then screams. Mother! Darkness, blindness...mother! Where was mother? Elros...Elros would know...he left the house to find the village on fire, and death and destruction around him. He cried out for his mother, but to no avail. He knew not where she was, and father had gone away a long time ago. Running...running...he felt searing pain in his feet as they snagged a thistle in the darkness and he let out a screech as tears ran down his cheeks. MOTHER! Where was mother? Where was Elros..?...strong arms lifted him from the ground, but it was not mother!!! He screamed, and recieved a swift blow to his face that silenced him quickly...he looked back to see the village burning as the screams faded in the distance...

Elrond awoke in a cold sweat, and rose from his bed, passing to the next room and pouring himself a glass of water, drinking it quickly in an attempt to purge the memories from his mind. It was quiet and peaceful here in Imladris, but that did not stop the demons of the past from haunting his dreams.

He went outside and clutched the railing, looking over the picturesque valley around him, then up at the sky. Eärendil had not yet set, and when he beheld that shining star, his heart bled in sadness and regret. He was proud of his father's bravery, but he could not help but wonder, in his darker moments, if his parents ever thought of him.

Elros was dead - a mortal death from which there was no hope of return - and while his sons and descendents lived on, they thought of Elrond as little more than a kindly uncle who lived in a secluded valley and fostered them on occasion. And Elrond was alone.

A mist was rising from the river, indicating that the morning was not far off. Elrond often found himself awake this time of morning, pacing his room or watching the sky for some sense of the danger he could not place. He would have to speak to Gil-Galad about it in the future - certainly the High King of the Noldor would know more of the dangers of this world than he did. Something was brewing, something so terrible it chilled him to think of it.

He crossed to the Hall of Fire, where he could still faintly hear the sound of music. He went inside, his dark eyes briefly blinded by the light of the room, and sought out his messenger, who was sitting listening to a lovely young woman sing.

"Boy," he said, placing his hand on his shoulder, "I need you to ride ahead to Lindon, post haste, and tell the High King that I urgently need to speak with him, and will be arriving shortly to do so. It is a matter of great importance, and I need you to be swift."

The boy rose and hurried out.

Elrond's eyes darted around the room, which had fallen silent at his words, and at the fear and worry they betrayed...

This is a RP I've been thinking of that takes place towards the end of the Second Age. It mostly concerns Elrond and Rivendell, but will certainly have to take in the Battle of the Last Alliance, and other 'battle' type things as well, for those of you who like that sort of thing. ;) It doesn't have a plot per se - I'd rather leave that to my RP'ers and let them come up with their own ideas of exactly where it's going to go. :)

Characters we'll be needing right away:

Elrond - Curufin
CelebrÃ*an
Glorfindel - Willow Oran
Gil-galad - Sasquatch
Galadriel
Celeborn

Various other Elves and Men (and possibly a dwarf or two). Sorry, no Hobbits - too early for them. ;)

Characters we'll be needing eventually:

Elladan - orithil
Elrohir
Arwen

And many more! Feel free to create your own character, or take a canon character.

This RP will, however, be sticking closely to canon - no characters that don't exist in Middle-earth, and watch your facts. If you post something, or create a character, that doesn't adhere to canon I will ask you to change it. If you don't know what canon would be - please ask! I'm a nice person, really. :)

Please send your character biographies (for Canon as well as original characters) to me before you post.

Anyone interested?

[The Sasquatch of Fangorn]

I'll be Glorfindel!!!

[Curufin]

Very cool! :) Other people?

[Willow Oran]

I'll fight you for Glor.:evil: Might settle for Celeborn.

[Curufin]

There's Gil-Galad, too, if you're looking for a warrior type. ;)

[Willow Oran]

It's not that. It's that Glor and I have a history. ;)

[Curufin]

Ah, I see. ;) Well, that's up to you and Sasquatch then. ;)

[Willow Oran]

Indeed.

[orithil]

On second thought.

[Curufin]

It's all yours. :)

[orithil]

On second thought. I really don't no to much about Gil-Galad (Sorry for my eagerness:o) mind if i'm Elladan?

[Curufin]

Sure. :) Just so you know - you're not born yet. ;)

[orithil]

Yeah thats sweet:D

[The Sasquatch of Fangorn]

I'll switch to Gil-Galad then! :D (I like Gil better than Glor anyway. :p)

[Curufin]

Great, anyone else?

[Willow Oran]

The I've got Glor.:D

[Curufin]

Yep. You're in the first post. ;)

[sisterandcousinandaunt]

I'm an entwife. Don't bother to wake me. ;)

[Willow Oran]

Cool. What year of the second age did you have in mind for the start? Obviously somewhere between the Fall of Eregion and the Last Alliance, but where? Is Rivendell still a brand new outpost? Has it had a century or so to get comfortable? Has Numenor fallen yet?

[Curufin]

I haven't actually decided on an exact year. I want Rivendell to be ~new, but not just built. A century or so is probably about right. Númenor, well, that can be up to you guys. What do you think?

[Willow Oran]

If Rivendell is only a century old, then it's probably still floating.

[Curufin]

I was kind of thinking that myself. ;)

We need a CelebrÃ*an, and then I think we can get rolling. ;)

[Varnafindë]

Feel free to create your own character
I intend to do that - as I've already created him and played him elsewhere. ;)
He would be my excuse to tell Varna's history, as he is her father ... (and he's kin to Elrond as well, besides being a long-time friend).

Please send your character biographies (for Canon as well as original characters) to me before you post.
I'll do that :)

[Earniel]

I'd like to join. But since I have to watch I don't get caught up in too many RPG's I think I'll beter content myself with a minor character. A B-Elf or something. ;)

[Curufin]

Varna,
Sounds good!

Eärniel,

Welcome!

[Willow Oran]

I'll start posting in the Playing thread tonight, I want to get the bio worked out first.

[Curufin]

It's all good. :) It should be interesting to work out the dynamic between Elrond and Glorfindel, as they don't (that I can remember - it's been a while since I've read LotR - I'm re-reading but I'm not to that part yet. ;)) really interact in the book.

[Willow Oran]

You're right, they don't, which is funny because they're generally assumed to be really close in fandom. Would you like us to post the bios here or would you prefer us to send them to you to be compiled?

[Curufin]

Either way you like. They'll all go in the first post eventually. :)

Should we make them friends, I suppose?

[Willow Oran]

Oh yes. Definitely.:)

[Curufin]

Sounds good to me! :) Although if this is the same Glorfindel that was in Gondolin, he's quite significantly older than Elrond. :)

[Willow Oran]

Not really. The estimations I've given for his re-birth make the body he's in several centuries younger than Elrond and since he was returned to innocence at re-birth... his memories are older, but they're probably about equivalent in maturity.

[Curufin]

I think Elrond is mature for his years, anyway. The kind of life he's had can certainly make you that way - losing his parents in his early youth, etc. etc. He hardly remembers his father - the only father he remembers is Maglor. And he's not quite sure what to think about the Sons of Fëanor, when it comes down to it. ;)

[Willow Oran]

Exactly. :)

[Mari]

Posted this earlier in the wrong thread :o But this was supposed to go here:

I might be interested in a small role that comes in later. When I have more time. And when I have finished my re-read :D

Preferably a human role :)

[Curufin]

That would be great! We'd be glad to have you. :)

[Curufin]

Hmm, the timeline is problematic for me. I had originally thought of making it around S.A. 1800, but I think we need to bump it forward to around S.A. 3320. Does anyone have any trouble with this?

[Willow Oran]

Wanting to jump straight to the actiony bits, hmm?:p No problem, but I think you mean 3319 rather than 3320.

[Curufin]

Actually, no, I'm not that much into actiony bits myself, but if it's 1800 then we have about 1500+ years of no actiony stuff. ;)

I wouldn't mind RPing 1500 years of growing fears and just-off-the-radar danger, but I'm not sure other people would. :)

[Willow Oran]

I wouldn't mind it either, but it would take a very long time... Anyway, I edited my mention of how long Glor's been back in ME to read 2 millenia rather than 2 centuries, which lands us in the right place.

[Curufin]

Plus, we have plenty of time in the 3rd age to RP when nothing's happening. ;) (Er, well, other than my character getting married and having kids...)

Well, maybe Gil-Galad doesn't :eek: but we do. ;)

[Willow Oran]

Given how few players we currently have, character death may be a good thing. Easier doublecasting.:p

[Curufin]

I've found sometimes RP's work better with fewer characters. ;)

Although we do need a Celebrian...

[Willow Oran]

Yeah... we can always play her as public until someone jumps in and says they want her. It shouldn't take too long before that happens.

[Varnafindë]

I intend to have my Original Character, Rameldir, come in as soon as I have more time to post.
As I've made him the grandson of Angrod (through an OC daughter), I need to know what parentage we'll use for Gil-galad. They can either be first cousins or something slightly more removed.

And Rameldir knew Earendil better than Elrond did. They used to play together as little boys in Gondolin.

[Curufin]

Not hard - Elrond never really knew him well at all. :)

[Curufin]

Hmm. I guess, thanks to me, we may be needing some Dúnadain shortly (is that the correct plural?).

[Varnafindë]

As I've made him the grandson of Angrod (through an OC daughter), I need to know what parentage we'll use for Gil-galad. They can either be first cousins or something slightly more removed.

So who is Gil-galad's father?

[Curufin]

Personally, I'd go with Orodreth, but it's kind of up to Sasquatch.

[Varnafindë]

I have asked - I'll start to work on a post, but I won't finish it until it's settled.

[Curufin]

Yes, Elrond's being broody and taciturn. ;)

Sorry, Glorfindel. :p

[Varnafindë]

We'll see whether Rameldir can do anything about it.

When he knows whether he's got an uncle or not :p

[Curufin]

Well, why don't we just say that, as Thread Master, I declare henceforth that Orodreth is Gil-galad's father.

There.

Now you can post. :p

[Varnafindë]

There indeed! :)

Edit, later:
I expect you'll get the reference ;)

[Varnafindë]

I assume that the last two RP posts are about simultaneous, and, strictly speaking, recorded in the wrong order chronologically.

[Curufin]

Just so you know, my Elrond looks absolutely, positively NOTHING like Hugo Weaving. Banish the thought from your mind. Burn it. Purge it.

My Elrond is attractive, as befits the great-grandson of Lúthien.

[Willow Oran]

Now, now... don't blame the sloppy costume&make-up work on Hugo... They could have made him appropriately attractive and failed miserably.;)

[Varnafindë]

Willow, how did you know that Rameldir is Glorfindel's cousin? :eek:

Perhaps he is on his mother's side as well - I don't know about Glorfindel's connection to Turgon's House - but he certainly is on his father's side, and I'm not sure I have mentioned it anywhere (other than to Aika over MSN when we were discussing his ancestry). ;)

Very perceptive of you :)

And a good point about last having seen him as a child and now being younger than him. To Rameldir it isn't as significant - Glorfindel was one of the adults then, and he is an adult now, and the age difference isn't all-important. But it will probably take Glorfindel a few more centuries to get used to it.

They will live together in Rivendell for two and a half more millennia, so it might be better eventually ... ;)

[Willow Oran]

I'm psychic that way.:evil:

No, not really, I was actually going off of my bio for him which I sent to Curufin as instructed.:p

Just to clarify: My Glorfindel's parents are the son of Irime and the sister of Elenwe. So he's Idril's second cousin on their fathers' side and first cousin on their mothers'. I've got him as just a little younger than Idril, too. So basically, he's the baby of the pre-second age elf-lords.:D

[Varnafindë]

So Rameldir's mother (Arindis, OC daughter of Angrod) is related to Glorfindel's father. Makes sense. :)

You know what? I'm going to use your Glorfindel to define Rameldir's ancestry on his father's side.

*goes to her genealogy notes* Oh yes, I've got a lovely chart of Varna's ancestors - and even of her mother's brother and his in-laws (some of whom I'm playing elsewhere, including on fanfiction.net).

His father (called Erufailon) would be related to Elenwe and her sister, then. My chart says that Erufailon's mother (I don't know anything about his father) is a "female 1st cousin of Glorfindel" and that his mother's father is an "uncle of Glorfindel". Are you all right with Elenwe and her sister having a brother?

Otherwise I could remove them a little further off and make her a 2nd cousin instead. But it would fit beautifully as it is - with me being slightly psychic as well :D (the thing about being vague, is that it's easy to remold later ;) )

Erufailon was about 35 and Arindis about 25 at the crossing of Helcaraxë (I'm hoping some time to play or write about how he saved her from drowning). They only had a child far into their marriage - Rameldir will do the same eventually (in both cases for story external reasons ;) ). So they would both be slightly but not significantly older than Glorfindel.

Feel free to "remember him from your youth". Glorfindel would remember him better than Rameldir does. I don't know much about him. He fell defending the King at the fall of Gondolin. If you like combining different RP realities, that is :D

[Willow Oran]

Combining realities is my specialty. It's a necessary skill with all these elf-lords of uncertain paternity, after all. ;)

I should probably come up with names for Glor's parents...

How's this?

Father: Culdafinde, son of Irime
Mother: Lisseriel, sister to Elenwe and Rameldir's great-grandfather.

[Curufin]

Hmpfh. I don't get to come up with cool backgrounds.

Why do I pick the Elf Lords with absolutely certain paternity, anyway?

[Varnafindë]

Hmpfh. I don't get to come up with cool backgrounds.

Why do I pick the Elf Lords with absolutely certain paternity, anyway?

Because you want to read about them?

Combining realities is my specialty. It's a necessary skill with all these elf-lords of uncertain paternity, after all. ;)

I should probably come up with names for Glor's parents...

How's this?

Father: Culdafinde, son of Irime
Mother: Lisseriel, sister to Elenwe and Erufailon

I thought of that brother as Erufailon's grandfather, actually. (his mother's father is an "uncle of Glorfindel"). Does that confuse things too much? And confuse generations too much?

Or should I even change my own initial conceptions? :eek:

[Willow Oran]

Whose mother's father? Blasted elvish family trees...:confused::p

[Varnafindë]

Here's the relevant branch of my family tree (the one merged with Glorfindel's family):
Rameldir - Erufailon - Elenwë's niece - Elenwë's brother.
Would make Rameldir and Glorfindel first cousins twice removed.

The problem is the lack of names in my list, it's what makes it so confusing. :(

We could skip a couple of generations (at least for this RP) and make Erufailon to be Elenwë's brother like you suggested, which would make Rameldir and Glorfindel first cousins instead. If you think that's better.

[Willow Oran]

No need to generation skip now that it's all written out. Glorfindel, Idril and Rameldir's grandmother are all first cousins. Got it.:D

[Varnafindë]

I should probably come up with names for Glor's parents...

How's this?

Father: Culdafinde, son of Irime
Mother: Lisseriel, sister to Elenwe and Erufailon

Then it wouldn't be Erufailon, would it? I don't know whether we need his name, though. I doubt that Rameldir would ever mention his great-grandfather. Or his grandmother (who is also without a name) either.

[Willow Oran]

We probably don't need a name for him. So... scratching that previous line-up we have Elenwe with two siblings: Glorfindel's mother, Lisseriel, and an un-named brother who is Rameldir's great-grandfather. Yes?

[Varnafindë]

Yes, that would be right! :)

[Varnafindë]

It takes about as much to make Rameldir angry as to make Finrod angry. They are both descendants of Finarfin.

Edit:
It might have been better to edit the previous post after all. Is it possible for me to delete this one, or will the posts have to be combined by a moderator?

[Curufin]

Ah, but I see Elrond is able to do it anyway. ;)

[Varnafindë]

You have some practise in having your character making my character angry :D

[Willow Oran]

Sas, Glorfindel is currently asleep in a tree somewhere. You can find him in the garden if you like, but he isn't standing in the hall...;)

[Varnafindë]

I'm trying to get Rameldir going again.

[Willow Oran]

Nevermind. Invisible and then appearing posts confuzzling me.

[Amael]

No one for Galadriel yet?

[Curufin]

Nope, we don't have a Galadriel yet, or a CelebrÃ*an, both of whom we will eventually need.

RPing is going to be very slow for me for the next couple of days, though, as I'm finishing up my exams. Monday afternoon I shall try to catch up on everything.

[Amael]

That's okay. Exams can be pretty tough.

[Willow Oran]

Bumping this. Anyone still interested in playing?

[Varnafindë]

Bumping is a good idea. I still want to play.

I should check whether I ought to post next ...

[Curufin]

Sure, I'm still interested.

[Midge]

I'd not mind doing Galadriel.

[ElizabethAnnRoger]

i would love to go galadriel

[Midge]

... ....

Uh... That was oddly redundant.

Only just realized this thread was sort of old. Are you guys going to resurrect this RPG? If so, I would quite like to join in... it's not too far from the beginning, and I could jump in as Galadriel before Elrond gets around to contacting her for information from the East.

[Varnafindë]

The idea is to resurrect it, yes.
Curufin is the ThreadMaster.
I'm playing Rameldir, who is an original character, and father of Barufiniel who has just joined LLL.

[Midge]

Haha... That's funny, just a bit. It's like your two characters are alive... but probably not, because that's quite a bit of time difference, and Baru isn't THAT old, is she?

[Varnafindë]

Three or four thousand years time difference - I can look it up later. And Baru has only been around for three hundred years (not counting her five hundred years in Narnia). Rameldir was even later at getting a family than Elrond. But he left for the West three hundred years before LLL.

[Curufin]

Yep, I'm ThreadMaster, and I'd love to see this going again if people are interested.

EAR, Galadriel is taken (by Midge, who called first ;)), but if you would like to be someone else, that would be fine.

[Midge]

Apparently we are in need of a Celebrian... if that appeals to you.

[Willow Oran]

Yay! It lives!

Curufin, were you ever going to post the character bios we sent you?

[ElizabethAnnRoger]

omg i would love to be CelebrÃ*an! to be the daughter of Galadriel...omg. Ill do it

[Midge]

Earlier in the thread, EAR, if you didn't notice, Rinkë asks that you email a bio of your character to her, canon or created. Yours is canon, so lineage, age, family, maybe appearance? will be pretty obvious. Since she wasn't truly in the books, though, you could do what you wanted with some other stuff.

So... how on earth can I jump in sometime? I don't really want to interrupt what seems like a serious conversation, and I can't really introduce Galadriel without interrupting, seeing as how she's quite a ways away...

I thought I heard something about Elrond contacting her to talk? What?

[Varnafindë]

Good to see the thread moving again! :)

Yes, Elrond said that he would need to talk to Galadriel. Whether he decides to talk to her by osanwe or to invite her over, I don't know - I suppose you can discuss it with Rinkë by PM if you like.

[Midge]

Anything? I don't guess we're allowed to bump the actual RPG thread... that would be quite the weird post:

"Bump!

Galadriel ran her knee into the coffee table in her bedroom, spilling her miruvor on her gown."

[Varnafindë]

"Bump!

Galadriel ran her knee into the coffee table in her bedroom, spilling her miruvor on her gown."

:D

You're right - the RPG posts should be part of the story - one way or another ;)

[ElizabethAnnRoger]

ok ill make a bio of her. expect one soon!

[Curufin]

Argh, I'd forgotten about this. :) It's too late to write a post tonight, but I'll try to get one tomorrow. :)

Sorry, guys. ;)

[Midge]

Yay!

*completely off-topic, but I've got fifty seconds of the rule left...

There's a creepy looking guy who keeps staring at me across the table in the computer lab! ARGH!!!*

[Curufin]

Argh, I way overslept this morning and had to hurry to work. I'll try to get a post up tomorrow, on my day off.

[Willow Oran]

*pokes Curu*

I assume you meant in-game 'tomorrow'?:p

[Midge]

Mmkay... so I find that writing for Galadriel is more daunting than I thought.. I'd like to give her a nice intro... but I don't know if there's anything bad going to happen. As far as ...

I got interrupted by a phone call and I forgot where I was going with that. Suffice it to say that I would like to jump in with Galadriel but would like some advice as to what to write about. All I really know is that Elrond called for Gil-Galad really quickly.

[Willow Oran]

Random forebodings? A descision to come and visit? Reception of reports of Numenorean ships sailing into Belfalas after a tsunami? I believe the first order of drama Curu intended was the fall of Numenor, so anything building up to that would probably work at this point. You might want to poke her to verify that, though.:)

[Midge]

Okay... I could probably get the random forebodings going now... if Numenor hasn't fallen yet, then how are we in Rivendell and Lindon? However, it would be nice to have a definite time period that isn't in years, because I don't very well have the timeline of the history of Middle Earth memorized.

Edit: Just checked and in the first post, she says it takes place near the end of the Second Age, around the Battle of the Last Alliance. So... no forebodings about the fall of Numenor... although I suppose I could... Hey.. there's an idea... Be back!

[Varnafindë]

I just reread the whole thread, and we specified it further, and we're actually in the year when Numenor falls (SA 3319).
So it could be any day now! :eek:

[Midge]

Oh... okay.
Gotcha.
Hm... well, then, my great epiphany isn't as great as it sounded. Back to the drawing board, then... and it's a good thing I got distracted by LLL... huh? :)

[Midge]

Hey! It turns out that Galadriel, apparently, settled in Rivendell for the end of the Second Age, beginning of the First Age.

Is the Encyclopedia of Arda (http://www.glyphweb.com/ARDA/g/galadriel.html) something that we trust or is it discredited as badly as Wikipedia in a research paper?

[Willow Oran]

It's fairly trustworthy, just not very detailed in places. Having Galadriel already in Imladris or just about to come there to stay for the rest of the Second Age works just fine.:)

[Midge]

Mmkay... It said that she and Celeborn were kind of touring Eastern Middle-Earth before they came and stayed at Rivendell... so I guess they could be on their way back from Gondor and this could be why the came to Rivendell in the first place? I don't know how she'd know though.. unless they were already practicing some of that amazing mind-talking they do.

[Varnafindë]

In its concluding passage the narrative returns to Galadriel, telling that the sea-longing grew so strong in her that (though she deemed it her duty to remain in Middle-earth while Sauron was still unconquered) she determined to leave Lórinand and to dwell near the sea. She committed Lórinand to Amroth, and passing again through Moria with CelebrÃ*an she came to Imladris, seeking Celeborn.

There (it seems) she found him, and there they dwelt together for a long time; and it was then that Elrond first saw CelebrÃ*an, and loved her, though he said nothing of it. It was while Galadriel was in Imladris that the Council referred to above was held.

But at some later time [there is no indication of the date] Galadriel and Celeborn together with CelebrÃ*an departed from Imladris and went to the little-inhabited lands between the mouth of the Gwathló and Ethir Anduin. There they dwelt in Belfalas, at the place that was afterwards called Dol Amroth.

From Unfinished Tales: History of Galadriel and Celeborn

No exact years are given, but this was some time before the end of the Second Age.

[Midge]

Okay, so maybe I'll have Galadriel just finding Celeborn pretty darn near Rivendell...

Anyone object to me moving Celeborn around as well until we find a RPer for him? Since he is Galadriel's husband...

[Varnafindë]

Anyone object to me moving Celeborn around as well until we find a RPer for him? Since he is Galadriel's husband...

Sounds reasonable enough ... :)

[Midge]

Mmkay... Now I've got to find a way to intro Galadriel without being boring or too long-winded. Because let's face it. I'm long-winded when it comes to typing. Or maybe I'm long-fingered. :D

[Willow Oran]

Just go for it. Maybe if we keep the game moving our GM will remember it exists...;)

[Willow Oran]

*smacks rule*

Stupid 90 seconds... made me double post.

[Midge]

The thing about having your own storyline for a while is that you can write the whole thing first and then post it in pieces. It's kind of fun.

Have you ever tried to type one word and had an entirely different word come out? I just did that with "kind". I tried to type "kind" and got "like". As if my unconscious was trying to say something that my conscious mind didn't know about.. Whoa.

[Midge]

So I completely forgot that EAR volunteered to do CelebrÃ*an. She hasn't posted since something like the 13 of October, though, so I think I'll message her and move CelebrÃ*an conservatively until I hear back. CelebrÃ*an will be a very boring character until I hear from EAR (haha.. a pun!) either way. But the first part I've written is mostly about Galadriel and her introduction anyway. So it's okay.

[Willow Oran]

Yeah... EAR has disappeared a bit and didn't do anything with the character before doing so. It would probably work better to have Celebrian as a public character for now and then if EAR returns or some one else joins and commits to playing her she'll already be in the storyline for them.

[Varnafindë]

Glorfindel took his leave, and Rameldir decided he might as well do the same.

Either he takes his leave "off-stage", and we're ready to post about the next day next time - or the Threadmaster comes back and decides to write some more about Elrond before Rameldir takes his leave.

The post can be used either way. :)

[Willow Oran]

I was trying to set up a transition to the next day/time, since this bit seemed to have fizzled. Shall we wait for a bit or do we assume that our game master has been kidnapped by Vampires for the time being?

[Varnafindë]

Our game master has apparently not had any help from her Muse since she left Derry in May. I guess we might as well go for the Vampires option ...

Does Twilight have anything to do with Vampires?

[Midge]

I vote Vampires. Hasn't that movie been released, or will be soon?

Edit: Haha! Princess, we seem to have overlaposted. I assumed it did.

[Midge]

I got tired of waiting for you guys to post, so I have a double post.

Yes, Twilight is all about vampires. ;) And I suppose in a sense I did get kidnapped by them. ;) And I also had the flu, which isn't a lot of fun. But I'm here now and I"ll try to get a post in before my dad calls me to come pick him up and we head to Louisville for the midnight showing. :D
