Oh, damn! I'm stuck!

[cloudy]

I think I may have written myself into a corner.

I have two characters, the guy doesn't speak the language, and they're on the run from the girl's village. She wants to lose her virginity to him, instead of to who the village has chosen. How does she communicate that to him?

Shit, shit, shit.

Cloudy, I came in here on the title alone....just thinking about you being stuck....Mmm.

Anyway...how about something like interpretive dance...like the Grind or the Horizontal Mamba. I don't know the circumstances, but from the guy's point of view, it's REALLY not that hard to get us interested in that sort of thing. Hell, in the Phillipeans there's a guy that has the JOB of deflowring virgins.

I bet the replacement line for that guy must be huge. Talk about a "rough" day at work....

That shouldn't be to hard to do, just get her naked

Ok,ok. Maybe try a scene where she would have an excuse to be naked and he could see her without her knowing it. Bathing in the river maybe? Maybe he could approch her?

The date is 64 AD, in Llyn Cerrig Bach, Anglesey, Wales. She's a villager, he's a viking-type that washed up on the shore, and was captured.

I hate when this happens.

WOO HOO! I get to use my degree!

FYI...and it's your story, I'll put this in and go fly my kite...but he'd probably be either Goth or Visi-goth, both of which became the modern Germanic folks. Alternatively he could be a Gaul, but there were few pockets of Gauls left after Ceaser rolled through northern Europe in the 70's and late 60's BC.

I don't know what Roman control was in the Wales area...that's Imperial Rome and I studied mostly Republican Rome. However, it could make sense (if the Romans were there) that he was pursued by Roman folks.

I'd like to reitterate that it's your story and you can do as you will, of course.

Romans tended to be short, and presumably the Welsh, Picts, Gauls, Irish, and all the other inhabitants of the islands probably were, too. Goths, Visigoths, and Gauls were huge...standing taller than average people of today...you could almost go with a Pocahontas/John Smith sort of hook up or something along those lines.

I'm also partial to the "catching her bathing" sort of thing...all sorts of erotic possibilities there.

 

[Guest]

Just put them into a situation where they have to be physically close. That leads to a kiss. Then let her hand carress him in a spot reserved for lovers.

Based on a true event--she spoke English, but she didn't need words that night.

Would you like a read, and see what you think? I don't have all that much written on it yet, and it's hard to explain the situation in just a few words....please?

THAT might work!

Thanks!

Not to worry. I'm contemplating a story now myself where they come together without speaking a word, so my minds been working over the same territory.

Cloudy, PM sent, send it and I'll let you know ASAP!

 

[McKenna]

PM on the way, Cloudy!

I've got a few of those on the burner....another Everyday Screw story about a guy meeting a girl in a college library. No dialog what-so-ever.

 

[English Lady]

I've written stories for a guy that include two people who can't communicate by words,communicating. Lots of gesticulation and smiles and touches, touching is vsery useful. Now I can see if I've still got'em if you want a look to see how I did it...but it might take a bit of digging *L*

Guess it is a common male fantasy.

Businessman travels to Japan. His first night, he meets a young, beautiful woman and without any knowledge of Japanese, beds her. During the act, she yells out a phrase over and over.

The next day, playing golf with a client, the man scores a hole-in-one. Eager to show his knowledge of Japanese, the yelled the phrase the young woman had.

Looking at him oddly, his client asked, "Why are you yelling 'wrong hole'?"

He certainly isn't a Viking. Wrong era by hundreds of years.

He is unlikely to be Pictish because they could understand each other.

I suggest one of the Germanic tribes, the Goths or Visigoths.

Anglesey was the stronghold of the Druids. She would have all sorts of taboos against loving a stranger who could never have any status in her society.

I think the Romans were still lurking around then, too. Ah, but we're talking moral standards here, aren't we?

The Romans hadn't got as far as Anglesey at that time. He could have been a stray Roman, but if he was, he would be likely to be slaughtered as soon as seen because the Druids recognised Rome as a real threat. The Romans had the same view. When they conquered Anglesey they slaughtered all the Druids.

Thanks Og! I wasn't positive.

The Romans were still trying to retreat from the island either just before or just after that time...the whole Hadrian's Wall thing wasn't working out the best. The Romans never did deal with tactical shift very well....I'm surprised as hell that the Gauls didn't sack Rome before the whole thing got off the ground.

Anyway, yes, so there you have your history straightened out Cloudy. Throw it into the mix, blend, chill, and serve!

I don't ever name his people, quite on purpose, he's just a "stranger." I just describe him as much bigger than she is, and blond.

She's from the druid era....but a bit of a rebel.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if they'd got that far by then. I know they'd well established Bath by that point, but didn't know how far they'd got, and certainly wasn't aware of all the druid stuff. Poor buggers.

Damn those Celts! Or not.

Aw crap. Now you've got me thinking about Celts and nuns. Damnit, Lou!

I should think 64 AD is still a bit early for a Goth to wind up in Britain, they were still in Baltic region for about another 150 years, in the Lower Vistula basin. This is 200 years before the division into Visigoths and Ostrogoths, after all. At this era, with Germans we'd be talking more like the Cherusci (who, under Arminius, defeated Varus in the reign of Augustus about 70 years earlier), the Hemanduri, the Suevi, and the Quadi.

With this date we are talking significantly before the Barbarian invasions that plagued later Rome, this is very much in the heart of the Pax Romana, though not under it's better rulers (since this falls in the reign of Nero).

I think the vague appellation of German would be acceptable in this case.

*Steps back out of the Historical Lime Light*

Now that's just damn impressive. There's things in there that I'd forgot I'd forgotten about. Well said!
