laws and dancing

[burntcopper]

currently writing the response of the narnians, then the Telmarines to the recognition by aslan of the Pevensies. Trying not to steal from bedlamsbad too much. My Narnians aren't as bloodthirsty and my Pevensies aren't as crazy. Though mine have been willingly incestuous for quite a bit longer. or at least Susan and Peter were.

After this I have to write Edmund going through the laws, and ...argh. Essentially he's going to be researching what the hell the Telmarine laws *are*, then the Pevensies are going to be going 'well, fuck that, we're enforcing our laws that we hammered out of a narnia we had to re-build from the ground up after the White Witch. New regime, people.' with a few minor tweaks in *slight* recognition of the fact that the changed situation. (using the Norman imposition method for this.) So. Uh. He'll be consulting with various Narnians, raising an eyebrow at a lot of Telmarines, but. er. Anything I should really be considering in doing this (Narnian law is somewhat direct, brutal and personally delivered) or can I handwave and go 'I am William the Bastard and you're all saxons.' ?

Still avoiding sex scenes.

Oi, clanwilliam and gmh, Sadlers have stuck up their new spring-summer program, and Dorian Gray is listed for July. New Adventures haven't posted their summer schedules yet, so no idea if they'll be touring it to cheaper places (and better view) such as New Wimbledon. Want to catch it on a sat/sun, preferably matinee so wiccachik can see it again - interested?

ETA : how to know you may have too many geeks in the office : Undo plaits, having slept in them. go to the loo, catch sight of self in mirror, wail
'Oh my god I have Buttercup hair!'
Voice from one of the stalls : 'It can't be as bad as all that, surely.' They emerge. 'Oh poor you, it is. never mind, it'll go away when you wash it.'

Getting any Inigo Montoya quote is one thing. Getting a *hair* reference is quite another.

oh, I know. i was more referring to the newer laws brought in and a few other bits. Narnian law was designed for a country that was nearly all rural, from what I can tell of how narnia was set up in LWW-era. Telmarine Narnia is more towns and villages, as they don't dare go near the woods, so you'd definitely have different laws because people act differently.

Laws that get changed will be particular punishments - some things will be harsher, some things less so, etc. Still have to go look for some medieval and Plantaganet law to see what Edmund is going to actually institute. The fines vs. corporal, for instance. Pretty sure prison's not going to be an option, though. Aside from a few cells in the dungeons and the use of the local sheriff's office for the drunk tank.

:muses: I'm really starting to think that that first-time at the revels Susan/Peter/Bacchus that was pure porn has bled my porn bunnies dry.

OK, I am now reassured of your sensible grasp on historical comparisons... On with the plot!

How can porn bunnies run dry? That's devastating!
