Hello there, Downers and all! Another Paper Telephone is complete! Lets take a look, shall we?

Players

- Hookbill (Write)
- JennyHallu (Draw)
- Orominuialwen (Write)
- The Ka (Draw)
- Rune (Write)
- elronds_daughter (Draw)
- mormegil (Write)
- Firefoot (Draw)

We began this time with an interesting sentence:

“It was the First time Gandalf saw a Hobbit.”

JennyHallu drew this wonderful thing to start us on the road to adventure…



Orominuialwen look at it and thought that it looked like:

“Gandalf, who has recently been decapitated, makes a shocked remark involving teacups which causes Bilbo to tell a long, rambling and slightly annoyed story about them and how annoying Gandalf is.”

The Ka went above and beyond the call of duty with this magnificent Turner prize worthy masterpiece!




Rune told us that it was, quite defiantly;

“Bilbo kills Gandalf with the power of thought alone and uses his head as a quite fancy teapot”

Elrond’s Daughter had a bit of a think and then drew something that looked exactly like this:



Mormegil wrote a lovely little sentence for us…

Frodo Baggins meditates while levitating over a fallen comrade dressed in a black robe but his meditations make him think of a Muslim man.

Firefoot had the last word on the subject, drawing this magnificent thing of good!



Anyone up for another?

I'm glad that someone noticed his head was a tea cozy... I was a bit worried about that.

I sound so morbid... But, I feel so acomplished.


Anyways, that was wonderful. I'm going to see if I can join the next one, I have to confront my schedule first though.

Yes!
I've decided to take a longer road for the next Paper Telephone. This time, each player will write AND draw. We will go through the list twice and so everyone can do one and the other. It will mean a longer waiting time, yes, but all the better results are to be expected.

Players:

- The Ka (?)
- Rikae

Oh I'll do it again. Hopefully this time I'll have the time to do the drawing by hand.
