Hey everyone. Sorry about the long absence--I've had some stuff going on. But I'm back for awhile and hoping to get back in the swing of things! Feel free to message me about restarting something (or starting something new).
It was about midmorning when Gunna learned about the Irishman. She was in the middle of darning a pair of socks when her father pushed his way into the house, cursing under his breath about something or other. Unfazed, Gunna finished the sock she was working on before looking at her father...
I'll admit I don't have much experience with f//f, but I'm certainly willing to give it a try! I like the idea of doing either Junk Day or The World Swiftly Spins Backwards, if you're still looking for someone.
As partial as I am to the Munster coast (ie Limerick), I think Waterford would be a good place to set this. I like the idea of a slightly smaller town, and from what I remember, Waterford is probably the strongest Nordic stronghold (although later than our RP).

I mean, any of the ones you mentioned really, but I have a slight preference for Ireland. My favorite time period in general is medieval Ireland (so like the Viking plot), but I also took a class on late nineteenth/early twentieth century Ireland, so I could do either one.
Nora nodded mutely at Oliver's comment. It certainly would make sense, she thought. Their mothers had probably planned for several mistakes and disasters. In a way, it was a small comfort to know that she wouldn't have to worry as much about how to react; on the other hand, however, her lack of...
