Hate to post up and run, but the garden awaits. I might not be on for a while, lots of chores..
Shoulda used 'shrooms' instead of rubber ducks, then they'd be going after Aberzombie and Peace LVR. lol.
Talk about out of the frying pan into the fire. Sheesh. :)

No wars on coronation days! ;)

We need to save those for the day after the coronation?;)
Edited:
A merfolk called 'Blurghoot' has just been killed in a fight with a lowlife thug in the Pearl of the South, under somewhat bizarre circumstances.
If anyone wants this to be the Blurghoot who has been a problem for Nimora, go ahead...
I did think about having the rubber ducks stamped with the mark of Nimora's family, but decided that someone disappearing only to turn up miles away, stabbed through the heart like that is quite suspicious enough anyway, given its 'convenience'.
This will not go smoothly if people realize I left and then this guy died...

o.O
That had not even occurred to me...
This is gonna be bad...
The cards I left for Nimora and Mirathan can be used to scry for him. Your right, this is bad, water flooding villages in the desert bad.
Popping in, quick correction:
Lucinda dreams. She has a happy dream, where a merfolk called Blurghoot falls into a magical vortex just outside his home, and is sucked through to the city of the Pearl of the South, where he ends up in hand-to-hand combat with a thug about to knock on the door of the apartment in the palace where Lucinda is staying. They fight hand to hand with starfish, jellyfish, and rubber ducks, and kill one another.
Charles, Blurghoot and his three brothers are at the coronation ball with Joren. They are the 'four nomad warriors in mother-of-pearl armor' I had referenced. I was kinda going for a whole angry scene between Mirathan, Nimora and him and his brothers. While I am happy to go along with people's ideas, I think this would kinda derail the story arc I was building. Feel free to discuss any ideas on how to weave the pieces together here.

Well, we could just say that there's a slight descrepancy in the timeline. The scene that Charles described could happen later that night, after the coronation ball.
No worries, it was a couple of subtle things in the Sandreef posts. How about a death scene after the big blowout? That way his death will have a lot of suspects ..LOL

The hardest thing about the investigation will be finding someone who didn't have a motive to kill him. :)
At any point you want (so long as it's within the time frame of the post-coronation shindig) he could suddenly vanish, as Lucinda's perceptions of reality (even in dreams) aren't always completely reliable*. Admittedly it is likely to happen at about time the Black Pearl thug arrives in the boarding house, since that's what triggers the 'snatch', but there isn't a timeline on that yet as far as I know.
*Edit
I mean with regard to him vanishing from 'outside his home'.
No worries, we can just assume you mean 'outside his rooms'.
Sure. Just ruin my big party with a suspicious murder. boo hoo...
Oh well. It saves me having one of the Order do it 'to preserve stability in this tumultuous time'.
Or we could set the Blogsnot up with PoD impersonating Nimora, or Nimora's mom. hmmm....
BTW, Sandreef doesn't have to be in the Pearl's realm. I was picturing a city-state, not an empire.

I'm not even sure what that means, but it does not sound good for poor Nimora.

I didn't think it was. In fact I have in several places referred to Sandreef having a monarch of its own. just not a very competent one.

I was referring to your mom's comment (Patrick) saying 'our king'. Or is she trying to insert herself again? Darn meddling wanna-be mothers-in-law...

I had envisioned it kinda like early medieval French politics. A nominal king who on paper rules widely, but whose country is in fact a patchwork of semi-independent duchys. The French Monarchy had a devil of a time controlling a lot of its own territories, which allowed outside provocateurs (Holy Roman Empire, England) to enter and cause havok, especially when foreign rulers had title to several of the duchys as the English crown did for most of the medieval time period.

Where's the 'Off with his head' line? I know it's coming. Do aquatic races even eat cake?

Cake would pose a problem I think. First off, you can't cook it, and then there's the whole sugar being water-soluble problem. I'm thinking we pretty much just eat sushi. Maybe it's a seaweed cake?

Well that makes sense. And given that I'm deathly allergic to seafood, not something that ever would have occurred to me. :)
As a loose ends thing, is Allura going to check that Pete's still okay before she heads off from the Bazaar?
Allura is already gone from the Bazaar. She went back to the Oasis when Aidan used the communication crystal to tell them that Oroth was dead. She has a mindlink with Devlyn that allows her to communicate with him telepathically. Devlyn is still at the Bazaar.

It's funny, but the whole French Revolution came after the French Monarchy, through diplomacy and battles had done away with the independence of its constituent duchies and welded together a more complete nation state. One of the ways they did this was to switch their law code to the Justinian Roman code rather than the Germanic one they inherited from their distant ancestors the Franks. In Justinian (Roman) law codes the ruler was absolute in legal rights, basically the word of the king was law.
The English throne, being much more central and powerful thanks to the Norman-style fealty system they practiced stuck with the Germanic style of law code, which is much more egalitarian. Over the years their power was gradually stripped from them using this law code, but at least to this day you can still go see the English Queen, while the Bourbons are a fading memory ....

Thanks ..LOL
Gotta sign off for the evening ... I'll post more tomorrow, wifey ill ...night all ..
I'm signing off for the night. Unless it rains a lot tomorrow I probably won't be online at all as we're supposed to go to the lake. I'll check in again on Sunday.
I'll be in and out today. Out of curiosity, why was the teleporting Brightwater brother deformed?
Also Charles, I am going to do a quick scene at the Carnival with the Giggler, if you could give me a few days to set it up, then I will have no problem with you ripping it up...
*sigh* OK I'll play along. It's off to Leng we go ...
I'll get the carnies out of the way, but Lynora was doing something with Ash there, so you might want to check with her first ..
Double post. Smurf.
Ah, I haven't had time to peruse that thread yet. Thanks for the update :)
Yawns and goes back to using the tusks of the last demigod to annoy him to pick at his talons.
You know, I didn't even put two and two together on the insult. Oops. Well, if you feel the need to kill some red shirts, feel free. They were talking about the wyrms keeping The Giggler though...
