Tavern

It doesn't seem be a space problem. And it's rather oddly limited to my sentbox I was just perusing our conversation regarding oddberry and faramir's adventure. I have everything from june12 onwards. But only your half before that! It's not the end if the world but I was rather surprised XD

Ok, that's odd. No idea why that happened.

Or did we start the whole thing in the chatbox or elsewhere without ever writing those first PMs?

Possibly.... However I have a PM from you entitled just in case in about may where you first proposed the faramir's oddberry situation and regular pms from you discussing it after XD

I have spent last far too long considering who would live on each if the seven levels of minas tirith XD But we have begun!

Beautiful post. I'll reply as soon as I have a little more time.

No rush! will be all the better for the wait!

I might have deviated somewhat from what we came up with in our PMs already, but let's see how it goes.

deviate! How dare you!

I can barely remember what we said anyway but faramir wandering into the tavern with a bunch of dogs seems fairly in-line with my memory so your deviation shall go unnoticed. And i haven't for the life of me got any clue what i said oddberry was going to do so there might be deviation all round

Let's improvise. Those are the best posts! ^^ I'm feeling a little rusty, but it's slowly coming back...

rusty rain is as awesome as ever!

Making good use of my time at work here. RP is far more interesting than going through all our old toffee orders and compiling them into a database

Rusty Rain sounds like a steampunk villain! XD

Buuuut sorting things can be oddly satisfying, too.

XD i'm sure Rusty Rain would be a fearsome villain as well

It can... and it was... but a week later and i'm having to search our old email account that doesnt work anymore for records for 2017 and it's lost it's appeal XD

Very fearsome. She'll leave a trail of rust. XD

Uff, ok, I feel you. My condolences. How much more until you're done?

poisonous rust? Perhaps thats why she's so feared.

I've got to get to 2014 but it's going on the back-burner next week. Apparently I need to learn how to use google ads and facebook ads to get some more toffee apple business XD

She's feared because noone likes rust! XD

Isn't that... more interesting?

I'm glad young Faramir has found his hobbit lady. A storm cloud is more cheerful than him! He really needs some chaotic good in his life!

Rust, the root of all evil

It is Interesting in a very complicated brain melting way.

She's not very cheerful at the moment XD

And here I thought hard water is...

Why? I've honestly never even thought about it, but can it be that complicated? (Famous last words?)

Still more cheerful than him. And, to be fair, neither of us would trust him right now, would we? He's not exactly a charming people person yet. XD

XD

Lots of stuff to do with target markets and keywords and it will probably be super simple when I understand it but right now it's just... Insane

Gandalf definitely should have mentioned the magic of smiling to faramir. There would be far less suspicion then XD

You understand our forum (in part), it can't be more difficult

Gandalf has been busy doing... important wizard things... maybe Boromir could have. He would need some training, though. I think if he tried right now he would look like an alien serial killer trying to appear human and failing miserably. XD

That was mind melting to begin with as well XD

I just have this mental image of faramir standing in front of a mirror trying out different smiles now

I just realised that, serial killer part aside, that's exactly his dilemma. He is trying really hard to be human when he is actually not, or at least: not fully.

Smile and wave. XD

This just reminds me: One of the reasons WalMart failed in my country, aside of laws and unions, is the fact that people were creeped out by fake smiles, hyper attentive workers, that creepy WalMart-chant that reminded everyone of Nazi drills, and, most of all: super friendly greeters. XD

I just wanna hug him now. XD I'll get oddberry to do it for me.

Yeah I can understand that... Ok friendly customer service is vital but also... Nobody wants harassing robots!

Oddberry has to realize that he doesn't want to kill her and hide her corpse first. XD But once she does... she knows a thing or two about not perfectly fitting in. She can teach him!

Especially since those things are just not a thing here. We don't have greeters and smiles all the time and during shopping you will be left in peace unless you ask for help. So it was quite a culture shock, too.

That... might take some time. XD Oddberry can attempt to teach faramir her fuck 'em all mindset I'm sure it will work

No the concept baffles me. We don't have them here either, the closest we have is the odd greeter/sales assistant at a higher-end store but oince you've told them to go away they leave you alone. They also used to have them at Hollister until they realised we'd rather pay them to have proper lighting than some dude at the front saying hi XD
