XD Sorry, people, I am made of fail this week.
Sorry I've been so spotty, I've just been so tired this week, and I had to go in today on my day off because we have a lady who's been so sick she went onto temporary disability. But I'll try to do better. I promise.

It took me a really long time to understand what you trying to convey with this statement.
Also - in your latest post, you used HTML tags instead of vB Code []. Just fyi. I hope your week gets less full soon!

Baru's statement may cause a few questions from her fellow travellers - they probably forget that the new arrival is disappearing for a while ...

Yes, lots of questions! Rivailen's a little on the credulous side when it comes to this sort of thing. That's what comes from having been apprenticed to a village wise-woman.
Curu - don't worry, RL comes first! Just stop by when you can.

Double-posting to share with you the fact that I managed to obtain a copy of Perelandra from the library!
Well, actually I ended up with the whole trilogy, and so it'd be silly of me to start with Perelandra. But I shall be reading it.

I think my favorite of the three is Out of the Silent Planet. There are some very nice creatures that he spends a lot of time with on Malacandra.
I like That Hideous Strength as well. But it is an even darker book. Yes, darker than Perelandra. But there are happier sections of it as well. I love the section where they talk about Old Solar. "Not even in Numinor was it spoken in the streets." (Wrong spelling, because the books hadn't been printed yet, Lewis had only heard Tolkien reading the manuscripts aloud ...)

I have noticed the reference, but I didn't compute why it was spelled incorrectly. I just thought it was one of those things like colour and color.. or whatever. I knew what he meant.
We should just face it: the whole trilogy is pretty good. My favorite thing about it is the emphasis on pleasure that Lewis places in priority in the worlds other than Earth. Now, back to this topic before Varna has to kick herself and me back to the Lewis forum where we belong , that will be a major factor with my Perelandrian characters: the pleasures in life, and particularly how they seem to be absent from Middle-Earth.

I believe that Middle-earth is so closely connected to our world that it is another Silent Planet - or even counts as the same one, as Tolkien meant it to be at some stage of his development.

So... Thulcandra and ... Middle-Thulcandra?

When I've finished reading, I might have to start a proper discussion thread in the CS Lewis forum to share my thoughts. *points people gently back in the direction of the story thread*

Just nit-picking, Varna, but there are also mountains in the south of Narnia, in Archenland and on the borders.
On a different note, I'd like to get straight all the story-lines we have here. There seem to be several: 1. Rivailen, Beryn and Barufiniel all accidentally happened upon the same spot where Anahera has appeared and is now confused as to where she is. They are talking about Narnia and portals. Anahera seems to have left the group, trying to find her way home. 2. Tanwendë found(?) Fearghan and they are having difficulties understanding that each is not from their own world. 3. Ashkaio ran into Elspeth, and they also do not understand the rift between the worlds. Ashkaio has explained the situation in his own city and they have decided to go to a bar to find out something... anything (it appears). 4. Aerin is currently wandering the fields of Gondor, and Nightshade is still sniffing up truffles in Narnia. Each are blissfully unaware of the existence of the portals. Note: Because I have re-written Lur and Lantie's story a bit, I removed the posts I'd already posted about them. I've incorporated the original posts' content into the re-write and will re-post in due course of their story. As it is, they only add a 5. to this list, which is quite full for me at the moment.

*hopes it all comes together nicely given a little time* 1 and 3, at least, will be able to merge at the inn to the north of 1's current location. (Rivailen's staying there, Baru and Beryn want to, and if Anahera doesn't come back she's wandering in the right direction to reach it).

I'm sure it will come together wonderfully. I just wanted to get it all out there, who was associated with whom, etc. Easier to remember.
And I didn't know that Ashkaio came through a portal on purpose. He just was trying to get to a different world than Middle-Earth?

Answered via PM. If anyone else is curious - Ashkaio will be happy to talk about it IC.

I'm thinking, since I will be gone and without internet the whole next month, whether I should let Beryn go track this little dragon, while she asks Barufiniel and Rivailen to warn the locals that there's a dragon around.
I don't know if I'm going to let Beryn handle the dragon herself or that she can eventually lead other people to its hiding place so they can deal with it. But either way Beryn can thus be absent for a while from the game without me holding the rest of the game up. What do you think?
