It looks great! Is it going in the sidebar?

Thanks! I already put it in the sidebar, actually. I did it before posting it here.

Also, we've reached twenty pages, everyone!

Yes I play the piano. I am not crazy good or anything but I can play Burn from Hamilton and read music well. Sight reading is a lot easier than playing by ear which I can do a little bit of but I usually don't. I am trying to learn how to play most of the songs from Hamilton but I have found it very annoying that my piano is out of tune. People that don't play an instrument can't tell as much when it sounds a bit wrong but those that do know what I mean when I say I can hear it with every note. It took me a little while to convince my parents to get it tuned because they couldn't hear it like I could. So now the piano is scheduled to be tuned which makes me very happy. Anyway sorry for the boring details and for not posting yet.
I have a post written and it will be up very soon.

Awesome! I'll post after you do, seeing that you, @JuliasSneezer, and @AnarchyWolf will have completed the challenge. I'll try to post soon, but I'm not exactly sure how soon soon will be.

@Mea, you said before they can run into Joseph when he's coming up from the mines. Can you PM me if there's any other information I should know before I write my post? Also, @AnarchyWolf, is there anything I need to know before I write it about their departure from Finn's house? Oh, and don't forget to go over to Storybook Badges and Challenges and claim your point(s) for the challenge!

My first comment about your post, @Oswin1800: Whoa. Simply whoa.

I never guessed you would something like that in your post! That was really awesome. You can go over to the SB challenge forum and claim a point for the challenge. And if it was at least five hundred words long, you can claim another point!

Oh, and can you change The Hooded Figure to Lumm in your post, @Oswin1800? That's the name Elora knows him by.

@Oswin1800 great post. @Mage there's nothing in particular, other than Finn bringing Pony when no-one else has a horse. I'm not sure if it would be worth mentioning, but his parents think he'll be returning by sunset (and tell him so before he leaves) and so don't know that he won't be back for a long time, if ever.

The hooded figure in her dream is not the same person as Lumm that is why I did not refer to him in the dream as Lumm. She is having a nightmare about what happened to her as a result of thinking about Lumm and the other hooded figures she has encountered. Not everything in the dream is 100% accurate and it was mostly just her brain tormenting her. This is why she will not become very friendly with Lumm and will keep him at arms length. In the future as the team gets pushed into more danger she will begin to see Lumm and the hooded figure as one in the same in her dream until she understands him more. Basically the dream was showing that she is subconsciously terrified of him.

I hope this makes sense!

Alright, @AnarchyWolf! Also, that makes a lot of sense! I love the dimension that adds to Elora's character.

Awesome post, @Oswin1800!

@Oswin1800, So i'm guessing you have a grand or upright piano. I'm self taught so I don't really know hot o read notes very well, and I play on a keyboard so I don't have to tune it, but I know how it feels when a piano is out of tune. I had to stay a week at my Aunts house and all they had was a old upright that was severely out of tune. It hurt my soul to play it xD

Violins and flutes are relatively easy to tune- so I don't have to deal with all that. But I grew up playing amazing violins, so when I play anything that is below my expectations I wish I had two extra hands to cover my ears.

I'm the same way with instruments. I have too good of an ear - enough to tell when it's out of tune, but on my viola I'm never sure if I've fixed it. So just a good enough ear to annoy the heck out of me.

@Mage As for things to know about Joe, I think just that he's going to be very cagey and demand actual proof, and probably refuse no matter what on the grounds that he doesn't want to get mixed up in anything. He also isn't going to give the Hooded Figure any information about himself or his family, so unless the Hooded Figure knows about his children already, they shouldn't be brought up.

Thanks for the information, @Mea! That makes a lot of sense, and I can easily explain why he doesn't know anything about Joseph's kids. The Hooded Figure consulted the census's in Mineplex's library to find the locations of the descendants and who they are. There could have been a recording error regarding both or the oldest of Joseph's children. The Hooded Figure wouldn't ask a twelve year old to come with him; so either way works. Whatever I decide on, I'll post it hopefully tomorrow.

"Alrighty! I've finished packing most of the stuff I needed this week in preparation for my 3-years trip! Welp, let's have some good time watchin' a movie tonight and after that, jumping back on YWS to see what I've missed "
