Welcome back, Coffeehouse!
I see that Quickleaf will be off on another adventure of his own before joining the rest of us. With the precautions Radagast has been taking for the company, I assume that Quickleaf is very wise in not trying to travel on his own, unarmed and without his gear. Barufiniel has found his cloak - but he won't get it back for a long time yet.

Nice to have you back Quickleaf! I wonder how long he will stay in Dorwinion and what adventures he will have there. Imagine if he only manages to catch up when the rest is on our way back after having found (or given up on) the Entwives.
I can't help it, but I find Aladji's pronunciation of Quickleaf very cute. Quote:

I've seen what Barufiniel describes in my latest post. It was done in the theatre - and the narrative was Mark's gospel. In full.

That sounds...difficult. And very impressive, if it worked well.
I don't quite think we want Branwyn dancing in imitation of Lúthien, though.

It must have been indeed rather impressive to see someone take on several roles on his own in this manner. Must have been a pain, studying all that text from one single monologue too. I've never seen something similar done myself, except for once, but that involved only short children's stories for a small audience. As for Branwyn, I've just been improvising. It might be a while before my next reply, I'm leaving tomorrow on a trip and will only return on Monday.

Earniel, are they finished for tonight so Baru can be approached by someone else (in case she is)? They will do their act the next day when you're back. And the recitation with playing of Mark's gospel worked very well and really was impressive. The actor wanted to try it, and the manager of the theatre allowed him to, and they expected that he might play it for two or three matinees. Instead it was a massive success and was running as ordinary evening performances for months. It was very minimalistic. The actor was wearing black trousers and a black jumper, and the only props he used was a chair and a candle - which he blew out when he told about the death of Jesus, and lit again when he told about the resurrection. And after all his antics - when he reached the Passion story, he played it completely down, and read it all just standing straight up and down, not even making gestures with his hands. The contrast made it very powerful.

Sure, you can wrap up the conversation for now if you like. I don't think Branwyn has any other relevant information to impart, and maybe it's time for him to go off and practise his lines any way.

Hi, Feawen! Don't worry, just post when you can, there's plenty of time for Nami's act. I hope you're having a good summer, apart from the - ness of dissertation-writing.

Geez, people! I can't get caught up anywhere! It's really difficult to read both of these because they're intertwined. And it seems like a lot of the LLL thread I don't necessarily NEED to read (not to impugn the content of some of the posts) because some of it is, as was said earlier in this thread, "small talk".

So if you're reading to see what you should do next, there's a lot you can skip for now - and come back to reading later at some point when you want to read some good literature

Well. I'm not sure I want to be as "full-time" as I was. Feel free to use Aerin and Magor wherever you wish. Perhaps Magor and Aelfwine can do a bit of a horse-show, seeing as how they're both horse-people. Incidentally, how long are you going to be at the Celebration of the Ultai?

The time you spend on line is after all entirely up to you. We're all aware that internet fora and school/work is not always easy to juggle. If 'full-time' is too demanding we'll be happy to have you part-time, or quarter-time or sometime.

What kind of entertainment might the Ents do? Surely they'll be good-natured enough to help out and they would more than likely be a big hit. As an idea, if they put in an appearance, who's to say they might not spark memories of old legends of other walking trees in the Ultai? After all, as far as we know, the Entwives did pass this way. I just can't think of anything they might do... maybe they could juggle elves. =D Goodness knows we've got plenty hanging around us.

The idea that I originally had in mind for the Ents was mostly a show of strength. Maybe lift/throw a couple of huge boulders like they did during the river-raid, pulverise rock (maybe more a trick for Earthshaker), carry a dozen or so kids around the camp (would be something Blossom might enjoy doing), that sort of thing.
They're pretty hard to miss, so if the Ultai have any ancient stories about them, the tongues should already be wagging, regardless of the act they'll put on later. Personally I don't think the Ultai would remember the Ent-wives, they passed almost an entire age ago and it's hard to say whether the Ultai already existed as a people in these territories back then.
