Here's what's true:

Caspian, along with a number of the other Narnian characters, is going to be retired from Milliways on Sunday, July 15th. This will leave the problems of a disconsolate Lorna and also no stablemaster, both of which are not to be wished for, for their own reasons, but the second can and will be addressed!

Now! I've waited a long while to try to work this out, and there was a reason: I wanted to see if any one character (preferably one Caspian knew) stood out in his or her devotion to the stables and the horses, as Caspian had when Susan Allgood left the charge of the stables to him. Despite waiting, I didn't see any particular pup stand out...but that doesn't mean none are up to it.

If you, or your pup, are interested in running the stables, please comment here and I will get in touch with you.

It's possible the care might need to go to a team rather than one master and lots of employees, and that's fine. But please be aware that this is something that will need to be ongoing, as a security appointment is and as bartending is. Caspian, in his time as stablemaster, has had to weather a good deal of problems and plots, and you must be able to realistically work out the affects of Milliways on its stables:

For example, I've Millicanoned a few paddocks built and moved around for the stallions, because Milliways has an utterly absurd amount of stallions and in any real stable they'd all be at each other's throats.

There are a lot of things to consider, but it is also very fulfilling and can be extremely good for your character.

Doc does not have a horse in Milliways (yet, as I've always wondered HOW to logically get one of his in) but I would be more than willing to offer him to work, lead, or what have you in regards to the stables.

Both myself and the pup have horse experience so while that's not the kicker, I mean, the pup does ride to live and so on, consider us able and willing. :)

(I should add that Doc does not have a stallion.)

Huzzah! No stallions! Or, no more stallions.

We should have them chat--I'm around tonight (Wed), tomorrow evening and Friday evening for sure, but the weekend is a little up in the air just now.

I am busy tonight but will be around tomorrow evening. What time zone are you in, so I can coordinate?

I'm on Pacific time.

EST over here, and I'll probably be on around 8:30 ish EST.

Sounds good. I have one more OOM to do for Doc and then I'll have him back in the Bar tomorrow, so that works perfectly. 5:30 ish my time, I'll be around no sweat.

*wibbles* We need to talk, I think . . .

As to the business at hand . . . Dar is still there, but with Caspian gone, Amy may very well take her back to Ambergeldar (finally). Amy is really not looking for another job -- the one she has takes up an alarming amount of time as it is.

Mal is along Amy's lines of having jobs that take up too much time (and blood :D?) to become stablemaster. However, if Mal can help in any way, please let me know.

Now I have to make sure Mal can come back from POTCverse in time to have a last thread.

Can we at least sniffle together? D:

Also, if there are candidates that Mal can provide an opinion for, they can do that too.

Yes. Yes. *clings*

And there are always dreams and...who knows what Mal might see, there at World's End?

...holy shit. *has ideas*

*perks ears* Eh?

Faramir could do it. He's unBound now, but the door he uses to get to the bar and back home stays where it is. And he's no longer on Security.

It'd be nice to see the stables getting more attention.

Marian loves horses, but she's not a stable mistress she says. Though she wouldn't mind putting in some hours helping out around the stables. Feel free to put us down for some work.

Zuko often has an-- ostrichhorse in the stables, but is definitely not a stablehand.

(And just wait till he gets a rhino.)
