Time out to review the action (Life after Arcon)

[lochinvar]

Okay, I'm asking for a time out to review the action. I'm getting confused by the chronology.

Rosaline, Loch, and Jo met with Zelda the day (Day 1) they return from the search. They leave the queen.

That afternoon (Day 1) Queen Joslyn and Lady Olivia arrive. Confrontation with Willow, followed by her collapse.

That night (still Day 1), Dr. Abernathy holds a meeting to form a search party from the citizenry, then returns to the castle to attend Willow. Joslyn, Zelda, Olivia, and Nicholas stand vigil through the night.

Zelda sends for Latenight. Dr Abernathy sets out with Captain Smythe to search for Arcon. We don't know what Loch and Jo are doing, but we presume they are outfitting their own expedition.

Zelda describes the sun as just setting when Latenight finally arrives with the codicil. This would then be the evening of the SECOND day following the search party's return.

Does that about fit with everyone else's understanding? Or have I lost track somewhere along the way?

Right at the moment, I am proceeding on the assumption that Loch and Jo's preparations are not finished, and may not be, depending on this tournament to determine the succession.

However, I should point out that Loch, Jo, and Rosaline are probably getting somewhat anxious to be away on their quest, because each day's delay reduces their chances of finding Arcon alive.

[Lord Tellurine]

That's pretty close. Dr. Abernathy has YET to actually set out on the search. He needs to get chewed out by Mrs. Abernathy first. That will delay him a little. He would gladly give leadership of the search to Lochinvar. Abernathy is in the next day (thanks to an all-nighter with Willow)so once Lochinvar catches up he should go see the good doctor (He won't leave before then, I promise.)

Also going on the search: Capt. Johann Smithe, Meekal the Daft (His stone Rufus was elected first mate), Wooden Bob (He signed up while intoxicated, if you can imagine), and at least one young stow-away.

Tellurine and company will arrive in Arconia City in time for the search party to hear of Lady Moon's return so that she will not be a part of the search, just Arcon.

I'm sorry if it is my fault the timeline got screwed up, I've been coming and going in and out of town the last few days!

[Willow]

"An allnighter with Willow." Hey, this doesn't sound right!

[Rayen]

Hmm...is this the thread to find the King of Arcon?

[Iwant2bafencer]

Rayen we're just checking on where everyone, and everything is in the story line. We haven't left to search for the King.
Ok, now I'm confused. I though Loch and Rosaline were going With Dr. Abernathy and Capt. Smythe on Mr. Smythe's ship. Leaving the Very reluctant Jo behind. Now what you guys (to me) said was that Mr. Abernathy, and Mr. Smythe will be going on an entirely different search. Someone help me out here!
