[OOC] A Cold Wind Blows...

[Lillian Thorne]

I am back, Latte is crafted and I should set about writing now. Though dinner and life may interrupt, we shall see.

WOOHOO! So excited for evil Russian babushkas! And Scoundrel, were you still interested in doing any kind of coordination before we start?

Yes..yes! I'm still interested and I apologize if I haven't came back to you at once. School or it didn't happen. And not only that, my internet died a day after, realizing that the modem actually broke for reasons my technologically-illiterate mind couldn't comprehend. Good thing our ISP provided us with a replacement immediately. I'm quite glad the IC haven't started yet, whew!

Also yes, a PM will be coming to you shortly ;)

I have finsihed typing my scene. It was actually allready written, it just needed to be typed up. For some reason, I am sometimes more able to write with pencil and paper. Something about the sound and feel of the pencil on paper is helpful.

Now food, then back to the interst check.

[Igraine]

PM right back at ya Scoundrel, and SO good to hear Numerica! Bon appetit, and good luck with the interest check!

[Lillian Thorne]

alright. Done. I need to re-read and make sure things are lined up. I warn you it is LONG. I will take this moment to reassure you I will not assault you with walls of text often, nor do I expect them back. But seeing it was the first post I had lots to convey. Expect it in but a moment.

Edit: and now it is up! Enjoy.

[Numerica]

A couple of questions:
1. Is there any order in which people should post. or is it just first person finished writing a response posts first?
2. Can everyone see the darkness or just Oskar?

[Lillian Thorne]

Post in any order you like, just try not to leave people in your scene behind you (this is more for future note than current).

Anyone who looks can see the darkness and if they like they can see things in it, little imps, demons, glowing eyes, bad things of all sorts typically found in such moments. Keep it vague and in the multitudes and you should be all set.

[Numerica]

I hope that my post is acceptable.

A couple of things need to be addressed here. The first of which, this is a tiny village with just a few families who have lived there for generations. I can be fine with your insistence that somewhere back in the day his family was foreign. But I think we have crossed wires somewhere about the economies of such villages and the role of such a merchant. Long merchant travels to distant cities and foreign lands are beyond the means of a small village merchant. Such trips are expensive to start with and there is no market for the goods he'd acquire that way in Adishi. Certainly there are people in the time who do this, but not in this tiny mountain village. For start there are few coins to be had in the village, most exchanges are done by barter and trade, this is why the tax collectors rarely bother making the trek up. The role that Stanislav filled was that several times a year he would take the surplus goods his neighbors had accrued down to the small town at the foot of the mountain and exchange them for luxury goods like sugar, candles, etc. His services were paid for with goods and more services and perhaps a cut of the take. He traded their stuff for the things they couldn't make easily up on the mountain. The mountain provides all that they need, what they get are simple luxuries, not things like silk and china and spices from far off lands, those things were dear and few in Adishi could afford them.

Understood, will make adjustments in a bit. I was busy in the last few days, sorry if I missed any details.

Edit: Adjustments done, major changes underlined.

[Scoundrel]

Lovely! I'll have my IC post tonight or if not, then tomorrow.

Much better, thank you so much for your cooperation in this, it is appreciated. I'll go stick his CS in the OP and you should feel free to post.

Scoundrel, I look forward to see whatcha got!

[Igraine]

*ugh* So sorry Lil, I meant to have something up much earlier today, but since last night I've mostly just been lying around, sleeping or staring at the ceiling with a roiling stomach ache (I don't know what bad thing I ate, but it wasn't a very happy thing at all >< ). I already have a post in mind though, incorporating a few "tidbits" I made up on the fly because hell, you said we could! But yes, I'll try to finish it up this afternoon, and I apologize for not getting with you sooner. I'm only thanking God I didn't have school today

[Lillian Thorne]

No worries Igraine, it isn't like you are the only one we are waiting on. I hope you feel better soon.

Hopefully we'll see some posts today, else I'll wonder at the enthusiasm.

[Mokley]

Absolutely brilliant! I'm here, and I've got an unwritten post in my head that may yet have to wait til tomorrow. Today's been a day. I can, however, share ice cream!

[Lillian Thorne]

I just had some pumpkin ice cream despite the late hour. Class ran late and I needed to celebrate my Professor deciding that our midterm was now a take-home exam. Such a delightful man.

That was a lovely post Igraine, I loved what you added with the candle and the tradition. Just the right touch and I am certain Nadeen likes your fate for her better than mine. Mine was... gruesome.

I can't wait to see what you have Mokley.

[Igraine]

It pleases me to no end Lil, that I have chalked up a whole two of your characters now, from a most gruesome fate...

[Lillian Thorne]

Thanks for the post MelonHead, I like what you did with the eyes.

[Igraine]

Wonderful posts, MelonHead and Mokley - so much dread and such (and hilarious drunkenness), and love how you've both maintained the feeling of confused terror! And though it's a small thing, Vasily actually lifted Nadeen in his arms to carry her. But if need be, perhaps the door to Nadeen's home has not been barred yet? As you will of course though!

[Numerica]

Hooray! More posts!
I'm not sure if I should respond to Chiudka's finding Tjasa yet or not...
Probably not tonight, though I've got ideas running through my head.
My mother claims I turn into a pumpkin after ten and it's nearly eleven now... but I want to work on my interest check some more before I go to bed, So maybe I'll stay up 'till midnight, and set my alarm for 6 am instead of 5 am.... I don't have to leave for work until ten to eight, so I should be alright...

[Kraft]

Working on my post now. Just as a heads up, I may not be that active between Monday and Thursday; So please forgive any tardiness on my part and never be afraid to push me to check out my status. :D
