Right...somehow, they manage to stagger tipsily to the council.

Elrond: Right. There was something imprtant I had to tell you. Oh, yeah, there's visitors. I have a feeling that wasn't it, but everyone, that's Boromir with the great big shield, and that's Gimli, son of Gloin, remember him? He's the one with the axe... I mean that one with the axe...oh Gimli, just stand up, will you? *Gimli stands up* Thanks. And, there was that pret...the elf from Mirkwood, Lego-lass over there, the one with the nice...erm, clothes.

Gandalf, in a stage whisper: The ring..."one of you must do this"...

Elrond: Erm, yes, that's right. A certain ring is here. With Frodo. Be a good chap and put it on that thing over there, will you? *Frodo does so, reluctantly* Yes, now, you see, that thing on the thingy will have to be...what's the word...destroyed. And one of you will have to do it. And the only way it can be destroyed is by putting it in the fire of Orodruin. *someone asks where Orodruin is* Ahh, well you fellows might know it better by the name of Mt. Doom. *Someone asks where that is again* Erm...well, to tell you the truth...Mordor. So, can we have some volunteers, please?

Gimli: Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I reckon Elrond should do it. I mean, he seems happy enough to send everyone but himself to certain death and torture...

*General cries of "Yes, good idea, absolutely etc."*

Elrond, obviously uncomfortable: Me? Do you mean me? Well, um, I would really be bad for such a job...I'm thousands of years old, you know, got a bit of rheumatism...*makes an exaggerated show of general oldness* I mean, come on...

Gandalf: Look, Frodo's supposed to take the ring. I'm almost sure of it. I'll check the script...*checks the script*...yes, Frodo's supposed to go. Along with *reads out the companions from the script* 'Sam, Merry, Pippin, Boromir, Aragorn, Gimli, Lego-lass and...erm...um...

Everyone: Yes?

Gandalf, obviously agitated: Um...no one else.

*General disbelief*

Gandalf: Well...

*Arwen, clad in all sorts of knives, comes in*

Arwen: Whadimiss? Whadimiss? Sorry I'm a bit late, folks...

Frodo: She's not s'posed to be here! Elrond, tell her!

Elrond: Arwen, you're not supposed to be at the council.

Arwen: Oh, Dad, please...I promise not to touch any weapons for a week.

Elrond: No.

Arwen: A month?

Elrond: No, sorry Arwen honey, it's just not in the script.

*Arwen storms out*

Oh well, I'm tired. Can someone else finish the council? By the way, if you haven't guessed already, I've just made Lego-lass a girl. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
