Creeping into the thread, hood concealing her face, the elf falls on her knees in front of the flashing jukebox playing the 'Music of the Spheres' by Eru. Putting in a farthing, she leans forward and whispers into the speaker/mic:

Bless me Eru, for I have sinned. It's been about three weeks since my last transgression. I logged onto Ebay and bought something - even after I promised I wouldn't. I couldn't resist. It was a watch with a real leather band and its face was surrounded by a one ring replica. The face was a map of Middle-earth, and the '9' was the elven symbol for 9 set in jewels. Sigh!!

'My child, my child', came the melodious voice from the juke - 'Memorize the first 3 chapters of the Silmarillion for your penance. Go now, and sin no more!'

She rose and hurried out, feeling better. A large dark figure stepped from behind a pillar as she hurried to the door, blocking her way. He bent down, smiling, humming slightly out of tune - 'Hey, pio! Didi you see the early John Howe Calendar they just put up for auction? It even has a Buy-It-Now option?'

She shoved her fingers in her ears and hurried past him.
