That's because it's always fun being devious with the plot, and I probably couldn't play paper telephone if it became 'paper dictaphone'.

I like the car battery touch everyone, awesome! No, I'm not saying what's inside the 'battery', that's an Alien secret.

First of all, have to say thanks to Finduilas for the sentence. Really liked the fact of not only drawing a soothsaying ent, but 'Kind' of the dead and the phantom.

Lommy's is beautiful and in charcoal! You're an overachiever, you know that?

Volo's though, hmm, how can I say this... scarred me a bit, which is a good thing really.

I love Agan's ents, especially their faces. Though the hippie Pippin is breathtaking and made me snort. Another good thing.

Classy then, eh Rune? I feel so priviledged now...
Also, a good job to you too for starting out a drawing for this, I don't think I could manage to be in that position without spending an eon thinking of what crazy thing to put in the picture.

Awesome work everyone, really. I know I was missing something from the Downs, glad to draw again with you all.

Looking at this again, I really love the THE Ka changed it from being an evil King of the Dead, to one giving out free hugs of kindness. And obviously she has a quite beautiful ent there. I loved Aganzir's- one of, if not the best drawing in this round. Lommy's is also fantastic.

Thank you very much but actually, it isn't in charcoal: just a very soft pen and then *cough* some editing with a camera program (adding contrast and darkness, partly just for compensating the not-so-good quality of the picture, as I took a photo of the drawing instead of scanning it). (And by the way I wanted to do with charcoal but I had already started with the pens so I let it be...)

Ah huh... Okay, for all of that you are even more of an over-achiever.

Don't worry, I've been in that situation too many times with my friends. Though, being the oldest has its charms of being 'senile'...

Thanks!
Well, a little sentence told me he was 'Kind of the Dead', which, he could have been a zombie instead being only 'kinda dead'.

I'd love to sign up for another paper telephone, but my plate is so full at the moment unfortunately between graduation, finals, work and well, WW (that's a job too... I presume). Maybe next time, once I've been killed off by Agan in some amazing feat in WW.

Great telephone call, people; it took some unusual plot twists for a one-rounder!

You can sign me up for the next one, please. Write or flight...I mean, write or draw, whichever proves more useful.

Hmm... We need a few more players, even for doubles, I'd say.
Okay... If we can get four more people we could do a good doubles round. Any more than that, I'll be happy with a single round.

MORE VOLENTEERS PLEASE!

Thumbs up Your request is heard, Mr Goomba

Nogrod told me to tell you that he wants to sign in. He said he doesn't care whether it's writing or drawing.

Thank you. I'm not sure how good a thing it is to laugh even myself while drawing, but this time it happened.

And despite listening to Lommy's 5-minute-long story just the previous night about how she drew the picture and then edited it with computer, I still thought "so she did it with charcoal like she had planned" when I saw it... (a good friend & listener that I am)

Who is going to mod the next round? I'd like to, err, draw.

Not sure who will mod the next one... If any Wight wants to take it, be mt guest.

Here are the people who have said their peace... I mean, said they want to be part of this madness again...

Eönwë (write)
Thinlómien (draw)
Volo
Legate of Amon Lanc
Aganzir (draw)
Rune Son of Bjarne
The Elf-warrior (write)
Beregond
Nogrod
Oddwen

I'll sort out the order when we have a full compliment of players. Who else wants to be a part of this? Be warned! Your health will be fatally affected.

Please can I write this time, good Sir Goomba. And even though my name is all nicely at the top, I don't think I'll be able to manage it. I'll leave it to the experts.
