Summary for 11th July to 17th July 2009
*sings* Here comes another one, just like the other one, here comes another one naooowwwww */sings*



Saturday 11th

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/517920.html - Andy works out first thing and is joined by Bridget. They both work off a few frustrations.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/518252.html - Charlie and Nia in the Park are joined by Joe and Joe's lunch]. Joe is amazingly chatty and they talk about how Iraq>Afghanistan and about small people getting big. Unfinished - sorry Dee, I didn't notice your response.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/518516.html - good news for Isabella as Max makes a request of Jimmy that he can't refuse. Micah is moving into the Manor.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/518722.html - The thread you have all been waiting for!!! Emma and Niles do it. And since Sam has used Smut Alert as her heading for this thread I think I'll have to find a new warning term for the summaries, because there's 'smut' and then there's smut and I think this one probably broke the mould.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/518975.html - Andras chats to Leo about Bernouli's work. Is that man in the photo with Senator McCarthy Manny Temminck I?

Sunday 12th
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/519185.html - boots on the other foot now as a suddenly, inexplicably, confident Jane pushes all Avery's buttons and he gives way, seething. Did I miss something?
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/519554.html - Absolute crisis as Jazz goes to and escapes from the 13th floor. She's discovered by Jane and Avery, more's the pity, rather than two other people who might have felt it more important to take care of her than try to score points off each other verbally. Unfinished, which is a pity.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/519707.html - 4 gay guys and a toddler finish getting the nursery open for business.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/519994.html - Another MASSIVE Tristan and Anastasia thread. Still being worked on as of Friday morning and far too scrolly for my poor old eyes to read all of it. What I did see was banter and schmoop and HUGE amonts of UST.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/520214.html - Locked post for Isabella and Micah as she gives him a guided tour of the apartment [squees at 'Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill' poster] including, nudge nudge, wink wink, her bedroom.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/520583.html - Emma's OTA in the Mocha, walking the confident 'yeah baby I been had good' walk and day dreaming a bit, and Emily joins her to talk about holidays and Emma's birthday.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/520838.html - Phin returns to the Manor to pick up stuff and, oh dear, chatting to Bridget doesn't go well!
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/521149.html - Niles mulls over the Emma situation, and no wonder, comparing her to Julia, and finds he can't bear the silence. So he goes out and finds four [ FOUR!! yeah IV, quatro, pedwar] girls to ease the loneliness.


Monday 13th
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/521397.html - by Monday morning the word has spread and the names on everyone's lips are Emma and Niles. Thanks by the way to all the mun's who have taken the trouble to have their pups gossip. I'm sure it was much appreciated.
Vinnie Orsini is on his moral high horse [the things my pups do for MM] and has forbidden Amarie from talking to Niles or Emma, who is now in Amarie's eye a hero. Amarie is joined by Travis and they chat about preparations for Emma's birthday party on the 18th.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/521614.html - Jazz takes stock of her injuri and wonders if it will happen again.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/521918.html - Eris bitches cheerfully about Niles and Emma, Del is amused.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/522133.html - Niles holds a mini party post in the garden as various feminine admirers and one crabby old bat come to amuse themselves. COB Andy is first up and ignores the situation in favour of trying to make him laugh. Then Laura snarks briefly but withdraws when he shows no contrition. Erin is next - massive thread as per usual still being added to as I summarise - during which she reassures him that she sees no harm and it makes no difference to their funtimes. Finally he gets Anghara is full earth goddess mode and is reassured that what he does is nobody's business but his own.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/522413.html - Alec is pissed off, and no wonder, since not only is the young adult in his care being meanmouthed by all and sundry, but he's not allowed to express an honest opinion in his own home!
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/522699.html - Smith works out and is joined by Laura who really likes ink.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/522887.html - Spencer and Roxy work on wedding things!
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/523109.html - Lamb OTA. Kara is devastated to hear about Niles - see that's what happens when someone really cares about someone - and when he comes in shows it. They make a sort of peace and agree to go to the cinema. Then Robbie comes in and chats to Jack and they bond over their distaste for gossip and for predatory older men who prey on teenagers [can i just say that Depp and Armitage in one thread make for a veritable feast of icons? No? well, tough, I just did.]
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/523275.html - Locked post as Gavin and Anastasia slip back into their dream of domestic bliss, which includes shenanigans in the shower. Elspeth, however, speaks to Niles in person, to tell him she KNOWS and that she's still his friend. He actually opens up enough to tell her why he did it, and gets some startling feedback from her [maybe ought to post that backstory somewhere for the newbies?] before they both drift off into their own dream of domestic bliss - with rumpy-pumpy.

Tuesday 14th

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/523559.html - card and a gift for Emma! Because it's her birthday.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/524025.html - Vincenzo chats to a very bored Emily who then offers to make a cake for Deacon's birthday. Charlie sobs on her neck with relief. Unfinished because I suck [it's Jon's fault, sheesh].
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/524126.html - Andy in the Mocha is joined by Deacon and has to do some fast talking to prevent him damaging Niles. And Andras with whom she shares the news that her fancy cousin witll be moving in soon.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/524343.html - Palug dozes in the conservatory and Jazz and Emma come for a bit of snarky kitty-loving.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/524702.html - Family dinner with the Reyes, just as uncomfortable as one might expect.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/524818.html - Deacon and Charlie at home.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/525147.html - Anastasia is in the Mocha and is joined by Emily with whom she discusses going to the spa, then Seth who tells her all about Torchwood.


Wednesday 15th

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/525402.html - Charlie schmoozes Jason into coming to Deacon's party even though Jason is annoyed with his gossipy staff.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/525795.html - the Devil Walks out and OMG so much plot!! as he tries to give everyone a little of what they want. Honestly, this scared me a bit guys but I hope you all got what you wanted out of it. Max gets an invitation, Elspeth gets a little tenderness, Trevor gets assured that his misogyny is perfectly natural, the mummy from the tool room, having been woken, gets sneered at, Travis gets the possibility of a job, Ruprecht gets congratulated, Emily is both complimented and repulsed, Niles is complimented and gives away a hostage to fortune, and finally Isabella meets the man who's marks she carries and they arrange a more private meeting.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/526021.html - Ruprecht gives Jack and Nick some specific instruction about refurbishing an area of the basement that means they won't both be able to party on Saturday night.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/526272.html - Kara thinks over the Emma/Niles situation, and is joined by Emma. Emma really wants to talk about it but Kara decides she doesn't want to listen.


Thursday 16th

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/526451.html - Charlie plays in the garden with Nia and is joined by Seth with whom he gets rowdy, then a rather subdued Emma. 2nd thread is unfinished but I get the feeling he hasn't made Emma any happier even though he did his best to be supportive.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/526730.html - Kara sends Niles a voice message to tell him that Emma is telling people about their 'arrangement'.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/527010.html - businesslike texts between Elspeth and Jason, apart from the little ooxxoos and xxooxxs.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/527144.html - Riley and Erik whoop it up in the Mocha.

Friday 17th

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/527585.html - Jimmy and Micah discuss a few ground rules.

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/527963.html - Erin and Niles go to get tattoos, but hopefully not matching ones because wow! Roped and branded!
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/528257.html - party invitations that should have been posted last week but weren't because I suck.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/528440.html - Backstory for Tristan and Allie set in 2004.
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/morningstar_mnr/528850.html - Gabe's traditional newbie Mocha post. He is joined by Isabella, and both of them are quite smitten.
