That does add some clarification - In my mind I was picturing the scene as her giving an aside to Violet and then Violet's response of 'Huh?' might have warranted a response so I left it open to response, but if she's already moved on, I'll edit my post accordingly

Okay, post edited!

I'm not sure if the squirrels are explicitly staring, but once I realized that Violet was very likely to connect the staring as resulting from her 'wings', she kind of fled. Still open for interaction at her room or on the second floor but she's a bit wary of the two squirrels now.

Haha! You don't know how much I have been hoping and wishing Violet would make this EXACT move! Count on Violet's movement to be interrupted... I shall try to post sometime tomorrow!

She's still a young squirrelmaid

Yeah, once you got not necessarily-wanted-attention on Violet, she can be kind of predictable in the flight response... I mean, that's why she has wings

Hey guys,
I had a friend of mine die today (stroke). Unexpected and a heavy blow to me. With the funeral likely on Saturday, I'm going to hold off on posting until Monday.
Thanks for your patience.
Ayrn

take your time Ayrn.
no need to rush.
we'll be here when you get back.

Sorry for my delayed absence. My friend's death has got me in a bit of a funk. I'm busy this weekend, but hope to post up sometime between Wednesday and Friday of next week.

Peace,
Ayrn

Hey Everyone,
So, my retreat place had wifi, but it was done. Trying to find some time to post up, because I really want to get the game rolling again.

Looking to have each of you chime in to ensure that you are still with this game. Let me know.

Thanks!
Ayrn

Hm, or is it 'chitter'?

Definitely isn't a 'squeak'...

Any ideas for squirrel onomatopoetic sounds?

(Yes, still around, even if being kind of crushed by homework)

i'm still here lurking in chat with padre n grugg. i'm ready to go when you guys are.

Squeak, chatter, and click (sometimes referred to as a "bark").

Hey Everyone, I'm looking at putting up a post tomorrow evening/night... probably after I get all the kiddies to bed.
Thanks for getting your posts up!
Ayrn

So, this flu bug is hitting hard. I'm heading to bed.
Sorry for the continued delay.
Peace,

Hey guys,

Well, I'm hoping we're back on track again after this little side adventure/interlude with the bandits and the
inn.

You now have Ribbon with you, so that will give you guys a little extra help when we actually move into conflict.

You need to decide here where or not you rent lizards for the journey to the Quarry or not. They cost 2 gold pieces for each lizard needed. Make this decision here quickly, and then you can include in your posts your intereact with any lizards you rent. (I recommend renting, but it's totally up to you guys) If you do go the route of aquiring mounts, Martin gives you directions to the local stables which is overseen by a hare named Peter.

Additionally, your stay at the inn cost you 12 gold coins.

In your next set of posts, feel free to try to gather information for the miners at the Quarry. You are welcome to "create" NPCs for this, just don't include any significant response from them. For instance, I mean you could post that your character sees a mole guiding a lizard-driven cart heavy laiden with stone, and decide to ask him/her what s/he knows about Shadow. I'll fill in any information he or she shares with you.

Next update, likely Saturday.

Peace,
Ayrn
