You are both doing a great job writing this.
Your characters are all in character, I'd say, and it makes hilarious reading. Quote:

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. Beryn of course, is also still at large tracking the dragonlet.
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'm trying to keep my giggles quiet here!
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.

Poor Indigo, the world-is-not-a-nice-place-conversation is not an easy one, not when you have to explain it to kids, and even less so if you have to do it to people who come from a virtual garden of Eden.

I wondered what I was going to do about the whole meat-eating thing. I'm glad there was a happy medium for me.

That bit about the way to love the fish was rather clever.
