Announcer: Today, we have 'Not One of Us' by Lords of Gondolin on our repertoire.
[scene shifts to Lords of Gondolin, who are all holding various instruments]
Turgon:
[taps the mic]
Testing, testing....One, two, three!
Ecthelion:
Doom is upon us
Chorus:
Upon us
Ecthelion:
According to Namo
Chorus:
To Namo
Ecthelion:
Even though this is the case
We now know we should blame someone else
Chorus:
Someone else
[Ecthelion backs off. Turgon, Tuor and Idril take his place]
Turgon:
Born in grief
Ecthelion:
Raised to hate
Rog/Penlod/Egalmoth:
Helpless to resist his fate
Tuor/Idril:
Let him go, let him leave
But let's not forget he's the reason we grieve
Everyone:
Someone once betrayed us
He destroyed our faith in the world
Now we know this and our judgement is thus
Eol's son can never become one of us
He's not one of us now
Glorfindel:
Don't you think we were too hardcore with this?
Ecthelion:
Nah. Besides, Turgon gave us the green light to do this.
Tuor:
I have to say that that moment felt bloody amazing
Idril:
As the neutral observer, I have to agree with everything said, or sung.
Glorfindel:
To be fair, you weren't exactly a neutral observer. The whole thing started because of you.
Idril:
No. The whole thing started because of him. I was just the catalyst, nothing more.
Tuor:
[amused]
Look
[The disembodied fea of Meleth and Maeglin are seated nearby, whispering to one another]
Glorfindel:
They seem to be in love. Isn't that cute?
Idril:
It would be, if it weren't for the fact that my best friend is colluding with one of the Enemy's agents!
[starts to approach the duo at brisk pace]
Tuor:
Sorry, gotta run.
[follows his wife, hurriedly]
Glorfindel:
I better go too. Strength in numbers and all that.
[follows Tuor and Idril]
Ecthelion:
[sighs]
Why can't he just admit he is jealous....?
Egalmoth
[pats Ecthelion on the shoulder in silence]
Rog:
I am more incensed at the fact that, since we're already dead, I can't use my Hammer of Wrath to split the traitor's head open.
[To be continued]
