A snapshot of
the phantom's dinner party!
1) I'll give you one guess at who's sitting at the head of the table.
2) To my left, the lovely, likable, learned artist-
Feanor of the Peredhil. She's blushing due to a barrage of flirty comments and looks shot at her by the host (that's me).
3) On her other side sits an annoyed
Keeper of Dol Guldur (her brother). He glares at me and mutters threats under his breath until I take the hint and turn my attention to the guest on my right...
4) Ioreth, from Minas Tirith. As we all know, she is blessed- no, doubly blessed- with the gift of gab (which perhaps makes us doubly cursed). But, since this is a social occasion, I figured it made sense to invite the ultimate socializer.
5) At the opposite end of the table sits
The Barrow-Wight, who is itching for someone to commit an offense great enough to justify revoking their talking privileges, or booting them out of the gathering. And it appears that he will get his chance with the guest to his right...
6) Movie Arwen. For the third time tonight she has rudely interrupted a conversation about Glorfindel, and she's also trying to pick a fight with a couple of the other guests, bragging that she's stared down the Nazgul so she's not afraid of anyone. One of the guests she is trying to rile up is...
7) Gothmog, Lord of the Balrogs, who was invited so we could decide the whole wing thing once and for all. He is sitting right next to Movie Arwen, and judging from his growls, I'd say that Movie Arwen is about to get what she deserves.
8) Sitting across from Movie Arwen is Book Arwen. She hasn't said a word so far. She's just kind of sitting there looking pretty, and hoping that the film version across from her is taking notes.
9) To her left is
The Saucepan Man, who was invited because... oh, everyone knows why Saucy got invited. You can't have a party without the coolest member of The Barrow-Downs.
10) The final guest is none other than Smaug! I've always wanted to talk to a dragon, so I invited him. He promised me that if I could get my hands on enough food to satisfy his appetite, he would let me climb on his back and take me for a ride.

Fea, my dear, you don't have to beat around the bush and say "darned good". Just say "smokin' hot" and be done with it.
