Pre-party stories

[the real findorfin]

As some of you may know, Fin the flirtatious elf-lord has been sending messages via his Chamberlain Fingil to many a fair lady asking for escorts to the party. Unfortunately, Lord Thalind whisked Lanthiriel out of his hands. This is what I wrote quickly when my dad needed to use the phone line for several minutes.

---------------------------------------

(It is night time and two elves sit in a lavishly decorated sitting room of a huge mansion. The fire crackles and Fin is sat, brandy in hand with a crumpled letter on his knee.)

Fin: Gone, just like that (sobs and takes a sip of the brandy) . How could she do that Fingil?

Fingil: Do not fret my lord, the tally is now down to 12, we are still in double figures.

Fin: (crying out with drunken sobs) BUT SHE’S GONE!

Fingil: Yes, my lord.

Fin: It was that Thalind’s fault. Damn him to hell. You know what Fingil.

Fingil: What, my lord.

Fin: We must make him pay. Revenge must be swift and brutal. We must travel to his mansion, bring him out, thrash him, tie him to horses (building up to a feverous finale) and drag him around his own lands. Then we will gut him, take out his liver and feed it to him!

(Thunder crackles outside as he strikes a fearsome pose over the fireplace where he is now stood)

Fingil: Of course my lord, I will add it to the to do list for this week.

Fin: Good (returning to his normal voice), now what’s for dinner Fingil, I’m famished.

Fingil: Um..Liver I do believe, my lord.

Fin: Ah quick work Fingil, I knew you had it in you. But I did mean to feed it to him, not me.

Fingil: Um…

Fin: But never mind, just bring it in and I’ll try and stomach it.

Fingil: (shaking head) Yes my lord.

----------------------------

Not great, but it was a quick job.

*Is halfway between choking and laughing hysterically...*

I'm sorry, findorfin! I said I'd dance with you anyway! For goodness sakes...and "my" name is Lanthiriel, by the way...and don't touch Lord Thalind. I think he's scared of me already...no sense in scaring Ransom even more by having you after him. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[the real findorfin]

Hopefully, when Fin sobers up he will have forgotten all about it.

Hey, does anyone else have any Pre-Party stories, such as dress disasters or problems with transport, anything, come on guys!

[Arafangwen]

Well I'm told I shouldn't bring my husband so I'm guessing I should appear as another character..... I am not quite sure how all this is giong to work out....... I am sooo utterly confused..... I can't even remember what forum I am about to post this in so if it is the wrong one I am sorry.....

[Helkahothion]

I beg you Fin, take me of your to do list. It was not me who broke your neck and sliced you in 5 pieces. It was BD who did it.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Sophia pulls a long dress out of her closet and studies it. It is red, bright red, a dress designed for drawing attention. Sophia rubs her hands together with delight, before pulling the dress on over her head and twirling experimentally around the room.

Hm, she thinks, too long. I'm going to trip on this sucker. And I need a little more leg room. She claps her hands once and a small elf maiden enters the room silently. Sophia looks herself up and down in the floor length mirror critically, before addressing her seamstress.

"What do you think, Mirilin?" The little elf cocks her head to one side and rubs her nose reflectively. "Its too long, milady. You're going to trip on that sucker. And you'll need a little more leg room." she finally pronounces solemnly.

"Just what I thought myself!" Sophia cries, delighted. "Fix it Mirilin, I want to be stunning!" the little elf whisks out a pair of giant shears and soon Sophia's dress is hanging in tatters just above her ankles. A slit has been cut in front to the waist exposing the deep crimson underskirt, and the nimble fingers of Mirilin are flying across the hemlines, magically repairing the damage.

Sophia stands in the middle of the floor, eyes glassed over, while the little elf bustles around her skirt. She needs this dress to be perfect. As one of the many fair maidens of Lord Fin, she's going to have lots of free time for dancing. She smiles. If she can manage it, Sophia is going to dance with a mod.

Head filled with pleasant thoughts, and a catlike grin plastered to her face, Sophia barely notices when her little seamstress straightens up. "Milady... you're finished." she pronounces with awe. Sophia, startled out of her reverie looks down at herself. It's perfect, she moves and it twirls around her. She grins, now if only she could magically lose ten pounds...

*cracks from head to toe from laughter, falls to the floor in ashes* And I hadn't even thought of what to wear yet! Goodness! *bustles off to find a dress or nice athletic shorts- perfect for a formal party, yaknow?* smilies/wink.gif

[Trippo The Hippo]

Well i suppose i have one.

I have been looking for a tuxedo, that would fit my larger end. This has been a fun adventure, but has not posted very well on the results chart. Seeing how there are none smilies/frown.gif. I am in need of one when I dance with the fair elf maiden who has asked me to tear up the rug with her. So if anyone knows of a hippopotamus sized tuxedo store, let me know.

P.S. I am also looking for a afro hair piece for the disco dance off. Thats another matter entirley though.

Hehe, if he won't do it, then I will! http://66.227.101.70/otn/violent/dark5.gif MUAHAHAHA!!!

[Firondoiel]

LOL!! These are funny!!!!

Can I Get School Off?

Firondoiel: (with a big smile and sickly sweet voice)Mom? Are you comfortable? Do you want another glass of coke?

Mom: (Gives Firondoile "the look") Are you feeling okay?

Firondoiel: I'm fine! I just want to make sure you are! Do you want me to fix dinner tonight? I'm always willing to help!

Mom: Uh-uh.

Firondoiel: Well I am.

Mom: What is it you're wanting?

Firondoiel: To make sure you're comfy!

Mom: Out with it!

Firondoiel: (Dramatic sigh) Can I have school of this Thursday so I can spend all day on the computer at the Barrow Downs Third Anniversary Party???

Mom: (Totally confused) Whose anniversary
party???

Firondoiel: The Barrow Downs. It's a Tolkien site I like to get on.

Mom: Which one of the Tolkien sites you like to get on?...Wait don't answer that! I'll be here for hours. So this Tolkien site is having an anniversary party that you want to go to? How are you planning to get there?

Firondoiel: Well I plan to move my right leg, and then my left leg until finally I'm at the computer.

Mom: It's not a real party? It's on the computer?

Firondoiel: Yes it's on the computer but it's still a real party!

Mom: You're expecting me to let you have school off just so you can spend your whole day at the computer?!

Firondoiel: Well I wouldn't put it quite like that, but that's basically it.

Mom: No way! You spend too much time staring at the computer screen as it is! Especially at some black and green screen.

Firondoiel: (Shoulders drooping) Well, I didn't think you'd let me anyway.
--------------------

Well it didn't happen exactly like that but let's just say I didn't get school off. smilies/frown.gif

Do you want another glass of coke?
My mom loves coke too. I think she is addicted to the caffine.

[ElentariGreenleaf]

ELentari sits alone, waiting for any offers of an escort. None come. She goes out and slays a few spiders, taking her rage out on them. She only found out on Tuesday evening as she was logging off. She now regrets not reading posts other than her own little PRG. Suddeny, she sees a camera filming her. She looks up, and smiles slightly, trying to find her best angle.

Cameraman: Um, could you stop doing that?

Elentari: What? Oh, sorry....

C: Thanks. Soooo.... what's with the glum look?

E: I was so wrapped up in my own glory of having an RPG and me as the main character that I didn't read any of the "You are co-ordinally invited" posts and therefore have no escort to the Barrow Downs Third Birhtday Party, and I'll not win any Downies cause I suck. *deep breath*

C: I see.... *backs away slowy* Look, a spider *points*

E: Where? *hunts down the 'spider'*

C: *runs* Man she's weird..... Porbably been living in a tree... air's too thin...

[Firondoiel]

ElentariGreenleaf, would like to join me and some other girls for a girl's night out tomorrow at the Downies? None of us have escorts either. smilies/frown.gif You're welcome to join us!

[ElentariGreenleaf]

Sure. With: , you, Catherine, GaladrielOfTheOlden, kittiewhirl1677, Anaserkewen, and Arafangwen? LOVE TO! Hope you don't mind if I bring my sword. I'll have to give it up when I get inside... but those wolves are allowed to eat people on the way out ^_- Gotta slay something. Nah, I won't kill them... I lvoe wolves really. Not like those Mirkwood spiders......

[Firondoiel]

Good! Welcome to the girl's night out ElentariGreenleaf! Nah, I don't mind if you bring your sword. Always be prepared. Better safe than sorry as they say.

[Arafangwen]

ElentariGreenleaf: I should warn you that you shall be dissarmed at the door..... I for one should be glad for your company though, girls rule! smilies/biggrin.gif Guys are ok, but you have to catch them at a good moment..... smilies/biggrin.gif No disasters here, yet.....

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Can I join your girls night out? I don't have an escort either! *pouts* smilies/frown.gif

[Sillabub]

I, Lysi and Antien all had escorts, all of whom were forced upon us (they HAD to be our escorts for a fellowship of the flyswatters reason). Frodo was my escort, Harry Potter was Antien's escort and Link was Lysi's escort. Guess where they all ended up, the broom closet!

[Sillabub]

oooh can I join the girl's night out? It sucks that the party didn't last very long!
