"Where's Orogarn????" everyone gasped?

~ * ~ * ~

"Two!"

"I thought he was with you," said Kuruharan to Merisu.

"No, he was with you," answered the Elf with a nod towards Earnur.

"Nope, he was with Grrralph," cried the doughty warrior.

Everyone turned to look at the wraith who was busily smoothing out a wrinkle in his cloak. He looked up, suddenly aware that he was the center of attention. "What?" he asked with understandable innocence.

"What have you done with Orogarn?" cried Earnur. He advanced upon the wraith and reached for the hilts of his blade. Fortunately for all concerned, his sword twisted out of the way of its master's hand and Earnur instead pulled from his belt a paisley print kerchief which he flourished vigorously in Grrralph's direction.

"No thank you," said Grrralph. "I don't do prints. They clash with my motif. Now who are we looking for?"

"Orogarn!" shouted the Unisexship.

"Oh, the rude Grundorian," responded the wraith. "Why didn't you say so?" Mustering his preternatural tracking skills, he flopped down to his knees and began sniffing about the campsite.

Merisu rolled her eyes in exasperation, then looked about again. Her eyes narrowed in concern and she did another quick nose/hood count. "We're missing someone else," she said.

"Who?" asked Pimpiowyn as she pulled a pack of peanuts purloined from the casino from her pack and began munching happily.

"I'm sure there was one more of us," said Merisu while she cutely tapped her chin in concentration.

"Other than Orogarn?" asked Pimpiowyn between bites. "Someone else is missing? I can't think of anyone..."

Behind them, Falafel rolled her eyes, snorted and began vigorously banging her head against a nearby tree. The loyalty of a horse to its rider is said to be legendary but her reserve of equine patience was wearing thin, at least with regard to Merisu's companions.

"I've got the scent!" cried Grrralph suddenly. "Orogarn Two went this way!" He stood and pointed to the entrance to the Forest of Canned Corn, then began dusting off his breeches. "Oh, and the....uh, poet? He went that way too."

"Orogarn Two and Vogonwë are missing?" cried Merisu. Earnur and Kuruharan exchanged a high five.

"We must find them!" cried Pimpiowyn. The Shieldmaiden and Shieldmaiden-in-training seized their packs and headed down the path towards the Forest. A visibly disappointed Earnur and Kuruharan followed after a moment's hesitation, as did Grrralph, the Gateskeeper, Norni, Chrysophylax, Mordaenárur, Buttercup, several steeds and various pieces of the Ent that was broken (and their wagon).

A squirrel in a nearby tree watched the procession pass, then ran along a branch back to his nest. He just had to tell the missus that the circus was in town.
