Well, somebody showed up. Hope you like it. :snicker:

I am most definately going to get revenge for this. I hope you get really paranoid about it too. You've just been called every bad word in the book and I have to say, my dear man, that you haven't got a speck of honorificabilitudinitatibus in you if you're willing to throw a curve ball at a poor college kid that's trying to survive the week before her first ever official finals week. I hope you feel REALLY guilty about it too.

Edit: I've done what I could. If the phantom can't help me out on this, or if someone else can't unexpectedly go get Alli from the balrog, she's going to be hanging out beneath Lundun for a while.

[the phantom]

I'm hoping I'll be free to catch up reading the thread and then make a post at around 4:00 and then again later tonight. I will for sure be able to make a lengthy post tomorrow morning.

So, if you are still unable to post, Fea, Sai or I will take care of you.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Thanks. I owe you one. *runs off to finish writing a paper on "how attending performances changed my life" *

Cackle!

Guilty? Not a bit.

No sympathy. Just ask Kath.

Paranoid? Even less.

This is Mordor, after all.

"Herculean" is the operative word regarding these tests.

And here I thought we were testing characters... not the ability of their writers to add an extra few hours in the day to accomodate extra things that they had thought they'd had worked out. I'm not Herculean, LMP.

[Kath]

phantom would you mind waiting til I get my post up? I was planning on running into you and informing you of Alli's disappearance but I have to get hold of what I wrote first. It'll be up - 3 hours from now for definite, that ok?

Perfect. Just so long as you find me up in the main RCA office.

And make sure and don't say what happened to her out loud. Whisper it to Mardil so none of the execs hear it. I don't want the news to reach the RCA President until after he and I have signed our contract. Trust me- it'll work out beautifully.

When I get home after work tonight I will put into action the plan that will wiggle us out of our RCA contract- and then we'll go and save Fea.

Since all three of us ran into serious time constraints these past couple days, we might have to take the reality tv people along with us and just get rid of them during the next week's challenge.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Sounds good guys. I've posted as much as I can for now. When you save Alli, make sure she hasn't found out the rest of the balrog's story. I'd like Roggie of Morgoth to be one of my random carry-along characters. He'll show up from now on at very unexpected times. He'll work well for my other side-plot that you guys will understand soon enough. And if Mardil somehow injures him or at least makes him really mad before taking Alli away with him (she won't want to leave, just so you know), all the better.

Thanks guys.

As I implied earlier, if you get behind the wheel of a car in Mordor, you turn into an orc. It's part of the Anakronism Dweomer. Once you step out of the vehicle, you will turn back into yourself in about a minute's time. Please work this into all of your future posts.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I'll post later tonight. Kath, TP: if you get in a post before me, you should know that Alli's not going with you guys on this trip (sort of... I'm thinking that her wimpy little car will break down on the highway and her cell phone won't be getting any reception and she'll need to be saved) because she's really ticked that you guys shot at her friend Roggie.

[Celuien]

Yup.

Oh, and by the way, Celuien, not only have you just turned into an orc, but you have a tank that is three quarters full. The orc will now give you your RET - that is, ridiculously easy test for driving, after which you will be given a driver's license that looks suspiciously like a playing card. - pick your suit and number.

Lovely.

I didn't want to double post, so the story of Panakeia's RET is now included with my first post of the challenge.

I'm thinking that Panakeia should have to deal with and/or be an annoying back-seat driver (runs off to make sure they're ATM'ed) and arguments over who gets to drive to the Casino in this challenge. Does that look interesting to anybody else who might like to join her on the trip?

Do you want me to go easy on you?

If I thought you'd have something slightly more than "no sympathy", I'd say "Not easy, but maybe, just for this week, a little easier."

No matter though... the phantom already agreed to help (thanks yet again) and Kath and Celuien enthusiastically joined the cause. No need for you to change anything. It's been taken care of.

It won't work that way. Yes or no?
