Like Lordy has said. Lizzie is a lost cause. Freddy should make use of the child in his revenge scheme.

I'm happy to change my vote to kidnap her, because I sort of voted for the wrong one...

OK, then, keep the banter up that is oh so fun to read in this Storygame, while you wait for the next chapter. The winner is: Kidnap and sell her.

This is going to be interesting.

I am curious as to how this will play out. :D

My votes in now - sorry for the delay.

And you're right about the IFY's - we'll leave you here for now and decide again afterwards.

Happy Writing :D

By the way, because we can't decide which country to sell her in, how about we clone her? then we get lots of high prices.

One small problem, this is set in the 1800s. They didn't have cloning back then.

That would be a problem. I was just thinking. If this takes place in the 1800s, will there be problems with the age difference between husband and wife also?

Well, that's not the winner, but, probably not. At that time, girls married very young and it was perfectly acceptable for a fifty year old man to marry a fifteen year old girl.

Please corrcect me if I'm wrong.

I am no historian, so even I am not certain. I was thinking of the Regency age, which is the very late 1800s. We would need Rav or somebody who is more into history than either of us.

The guy's rich. I bet they knew tons of stuff back then they didn't let the common people know. Nowadays Labour Party Doners are probably traveling through time.

Well... 1800's... I suppose marriage customs were dependant on the country you were in... Things were still being arranged but no, it wasn't unheard of for older men to marry younger women and the general age of marriage was around 14 or so.

Of course, if he did marry her, then Freddy and Jimmy would be related, which always adds to this sort of story.

MMm.

True, Chinny... but alas... the vote has come to an end... the tyke is getting kidnapped and that's that.

Well, it's what I voted for, but I was just mulling. Ah well. Let the kidnapping begin! :-D

Marriage would have brought them closer. May have given Freddy the position he wanted to further implement his revenge.

Well, we shall never know. Keep up the banter!

Ravenwing · Guest Joined: 18 May 2004 Posts: 3750 Location: Virginia

Well since we probably will never know since we didn't go in the direction of marriage, there's not much use speculating the idea any further.

Now on to the idea of kidnapping the girl and sellin her. To whom are we to sell her to? Right now, since I am still thinking about the Asian Civ exam, is to a Tantric Buddhist monastery or something along those lines....

Lets try to someone Freddy DOESN'T have to go half-way across the world to meet.

Like I said, my head was still on the Asian continent. LOL.

Actually Tantric Buddhism is probably everywhere. You just need to know where to go. I have no doubt that a lot of places that make use of child labor would have HQs at many locations.
