I know we discussed them just being on the way to Minas Tirith, but wanting to get some clothes for these weird people would be a good reason for Indigo to drag them to a nearby village if we needed it. I doubt the cloak and coat will be widely accepted in decent society, yes?
Man, this cracks me up. I'm trying not to make them too perceptive, but still keep things moving. Also - if Indigo claims to be older than the twins, they will think he means he is wiser. In many things (like clothes, for instance), he is older, but they might start regarding him as some kind of go-to guy. Oh, how funny would that be? If my two green Perelandrians did a sort of imprinting on poor Indigo... Not where they call him "Mother", but where they think he is one of the wisest or "oldest" people in the land of Gondor...

Oh, Indigo would not even dare to travel with anyone dressed like that! He's a respectable Hobbit.
![]() And those two items were all the clothing he could reasonably have brought with him that might fit Big Folk. But eventually he most definitely would like them to be entirely and properly dressed before even thinking of travelling with them anywhere! And he's well-off and a good customer at the inn so he should be able to get them fitting clothes there soon enough. He has to get back there to get his things and settle his account first anyway. I'm convinced he will enlist the landlady's help to see them dressed, especially Lantura, because a gentlehobbit having to explain how she has to put on women's underwear? Just not done! ![]() The twins may consider him the go-to guy for a while as he's the first one that they meet and one who will probably end up doing most explanations. It would probably stroke his ego quite a bit. But I reckon that will change the moment they get to Minas Tirith. Even the twins would quickly notice there are 'older' people there.

Yes, I suppose so. If Indigo defers to someone in particular, also, that person may be in danger of Lur and Lantura following him/her also.
This whole idea is making me laugh so hard. I never would have guessed, but it's pretty fun to write from the point of view of people completely ignorant of normal customs.

You are both doing a great job writing this.

I'm betting that the moment Lur and Lantie start meeting other people (when dressed) they might wonder why these people stay pink while Indigo went red when meeting them.

I decided to go a little extreme with that one and give Indigo a chuckle - Lur and Lantie are not very familiar with itchiness. The reason for this is that Perelandra is an untainted world and the people there are untainted. Everything there is pleasant, and itching is generally unpleasant. Certainly they've never experienced bug bites or rashes, but I just decided that they've never had an itch before either.

Oh, that would rather give Indigo a fright, I think, if he thinks the itch will lead to the twins deciding after all clothes are not for them. And just when he got some clothes on them!
![]() An itch is a good way to start, I imagine, the twins will no doubt soon learn that itches and other little irritants are a part of this other world.

Good posts
![]() Are we now all (mostly) on the same inn and the same evening, with only Aerin and Nightshade having reached the next day already? And what do we do if Aika doesn't turn up soon? ![]()

If I remember correctly, Midge and I had decided to put our Perelandrian and Hobbit characters in a different inn, a shorter distance from Minas Tirith, sort of not putting everybody in exactly the same place.
![]() Hm, Aika hasn't been online for three weeks, she may be busy with RL. There are a few things you lot can do without her, though. It's already established (I think) that everybody is heading for Minas Tirth so Aika doesn't need to give us specific guidance in that part. Barufiniel (and Rivailen) still have to eat dinner, Feawen has to decide whether Elspeth will join the rest on the trip to Minas Tirith. And then you lot still have to meet up with Aerin and Nightshade. I don't think Aika has (well, I presume she hasn't) planned anything special until you lot leave the inn. So there still plenty you can do in the meantime. Even afterwards, there's the catching up with Beryn and eventually Indigo and the twins, although we can postpone that until we're actually in Minas Tirith.

One of the last things Aika posted was some comment about work starting again and being expected to be very busy.
I guess I can do the dinner without her, not going into details when no-one is playing Rivailen, and the next morning Elspeth can talk to Baru about coming along to Minas Tirith, and somehow we have to be staying until lunch, when Aerin and Nightshade will join us. A good idea to involve two different inns, and to connect the groups a little later. I'll start planning the dinner post ...

All the inn's staff are public characters, so feel free to use the characters and add to them as you wish, Midge. We can have Indigo meet up with the twins for dinner later.

Okay. How clever of Mistress Rosian!
![]() I think I like the part where they are unfamiliar with each other being separate, just because of the different voices.

What I meant with that previous post was that if you wanted to jump in there with anything, you can feel free. Sometimes it's difficult for me to see something strange that you might notice immediately, since I'm coming from the strange point of view.

Okay, but I think Mistress Rosian and Randulf are doing a good job.
Personally I wouldn't know where to start, you never realise how many conventions there are in society until you have to explain them all to someone who doesn't know them.

Sometimes it's pretty hard to keep the balance between intelligence (what Lur and Lantie catch on really quick) and naivete (what they really don't know).
So you're thinking these conversations are following well? You're not sitting there thinking "Why don't they mention THIS?" If something just does not make sense, please let me know! Also I'm glad you're enjoying it. I think they'll be ready for supper in the next post, so Indigo's rest is nearly over.

I'm kind of getting the feeling that the Middle-Earth RPG space-time continuum has been compromised with this RPG, but I'm not for 100% sure.

FYi - my Internet's been spotty lately and the company said that the earliest they could schedule a repairman is the 12th. So I may not be able to be on here much.

No worries, there's no need to rush anyway.
![]() Ladies' undies and petticoats may not have been Indigo's cup of tea, but I daresay he isn't exaggerating about his culinairy knowledge. ![]()
