A Downer Dinner Party

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I should like to throw a dinner party!

The party would probably be set in the Laurelin Hall of Tirion, as no lesser chamber would do. So I would have to get special permission from the Valar to allow my mortal guests to stay in the Blessed Realm for a day.

With that done, it’s time to send out invitations. But I forgot! Finrod and Amarië are currently on the shores of the Outer Sea! Who would come?

Of course, your host, Nilpaurion Felagund, would be there, sitting at the head of the table.

On my left side would be Lhunardawen, my sister. She would be putting eyeliner on her brother, my cousin, and a good family friend, Eomer of the Rohirrim.

Across from them would be seated the dear Princess Kath, discussing Quenya with the guy who be short, a recently-crowned Prince--ooh, what a coincidence!

Beside them would be seated NightKnight, who has recently returned to the barrows cold. He would be merrily trading Middle-earth questions with Firefoot, a fellow Quizzer, who would be seated from across him. Two sharp minds in one place—I’ll never be able to get a thread now.

Suddenly the entire table bursts into laughter, because Oddwen had told one of her crazy stories about hamsters in Rivendell—or was it rabbits? Enedwaith across from her would be Meneltarmacil, a fellow New Movie Script writer, who couldn’t wait for gift-giving time, probably because he has a two-ton rock or some other hurtful thing inside that box. Just try!

Seated at the end of the table would be my grandfather Finarfin, because we would need a figure of authority to keep this party from turning into something that would wake up the sleeping neighbours. Besides he owes me a lot of presents.

Repast would be a fusion of the Elvish and the Hobbitish, to satisfy both the sublime and the ravenous. Limpë and lembas—grandma Eärwen has this very good recipe for chocolate-flavoured ones--, mushroom and bacon, and lots and lots of fruits and cheeses.

A party, eh? Mind if I crash? As an immortal ent, I think i'll take a little trip to Tirion. I'll take my usual seat


I'll even bring some of my "special" water. Don't worry. Your eyes are suppost to do that after you drink it!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I forgot you in this one! You see, I had this list for quite a while before your return, and I just managed to post it now.

Maybe I'll throw another party, when mum and dad comes back from their holiday by the sea. There are some more people I would like to invite.

[The Perky Ent]

yeah...i'm sure.


S'ok with me. I got lots of tea of food to keep me company here in Tirion. I think Lorien knows where the entwives are. Plus, I'll probably start another entmoot. That should hold for about....three years?

And if all else fails...the force- i mean ....ent drought will be with me. Always

And to finish it off, Encaitare and Child of the Seventh Age, both of whom are recorded as having not liked the movie whatsoever. Mwahahaha. *evil smilie*.

Ooh, Feanor, this is months old but I missed it on the first go round. That is absolutely cruel! I can't think of a worse way to spend an evening than watching that blasted cartoon of RotK. My only consolation is that Encaitare will be suffering along with me.

[Child of the 7th Age]

Well, Morsul , I'm only nine months late but I accept your party invitation. And thanks so much for sitting me down beside Rosie. She can give me all the "dirt" on Frodo and Sam!

Nice woman, that Child.

I think it just might make me laugh more than cringe a second time around... I hope.
