T-I-G CVIII: Wolves of the Galadhrim (Game Thread)

[Coppermirror]

Such a dark and dreadful deed, in our own Lorien...

We must all speak up. Allow me to introduce myself in song.

♪
I am but a student of the harp
Seeking knowledge of the musical arts.
I travel for my inspiration,
Through forests far and distant stations.

Yet of wonders beheld, none can supplant,
The glorious, transcendent beauty of ants.
Small yet strong, and of slender waist
By their presence we are graced.

The kin of wolves are lovely not;
Such creatures matter not a jot.
Those with ugly teeth and shaggy tails,
Must by all means ne'er here prevail.

We'll find them, catch them, cast them out.
They'll know their loss without a doubt.
And I shall return to my lyrical muse,
The Lorien ant of which scholars enthuse.
♪

It brings us all, I hope, great sorrow to hear the death of our friend, the maiden, Nerwen.

Whoever has commit this crime shall pay a heavy tax. We shall all seek to find this beast, and those who don't shall be accused of villainy.
We should not acquaint ourselves too well, for if we fail to catch the perpetrator, I fear another death may occur.

I am at work and am not supposed to be here. Furthermore, we had drinks with our intern who's leaving and that's even more of a reason not to be here. The bloke at our local pub made me an incredibly strong hot rum chocolate (and gave me a discount).

TERRIBLE things, TERRIBLE things! In our neighbourhood! I would never have believed it had I not seen it with mine own eyes, I always thought evil doesn't come to Lórien!

Nerwen, how many wolves do we actually have? Or is 2-3 really the way of it and if yes can I be the -3?

So far we know Coppermirror is Nimrodel because she sings too much. Cop, have I ever even played with you before? I'm ashamed to say I don't remember.

(Jêx, this is not how you play werewolf. Don't follow my lead. I am a chaotic drunk.)

Aganzir, they say that alcohol is the serum of truth. But I do not believe that you are so hammered that all logic has left your mind. Your actions are suspect, and I may (or may not) disregard all words that come off of your slurred tongue. Do not reveal anything stupid, or it could come back to bite you.

I would not suspect Coppermirror of Nimrodel immediately, as we have yet for the rest of the elves to join in with our mourning and investigation. We are all elves, after all, and many of us do love to sing songs that our forebears once taught us. Musical talent is not uncommon amongst us woodland folk. However, I shall note this behavior for later on in our week.

Yeah true that.

Really if I try to post within three hours of deadline on weekdays, you should tell me to get out and proceed to ignore everything I say. I am not getting any work done even though there's no actual discussion yet.

You co-moderated a game that I was a player in (Tol-in-Westeros), but from a quick skim through the old threads, it looks as if we haven't both played in the same one.

And now I must go, since it's getting on for 3AM and I fear I wouldn't make much sense even if I did stay.

♪As time ticks on and my eyes draw closed,
I must now leave to find repose.
I will return when I do wake,
To find those dreadful canine fakes.♪

*licks lips* looking forward to that! I love when things come back to bite me.

Yeah actually I think Shasta is Amroth because I noticed a tension between Nerwen and Amroth in the narration (and they have this ongoing thing). Which would imply Nerdanel was involved in Nerwen's death and is - crime of passion or not - actually evil.

Yes thought so. So I know what you're like but you don't know me. Oh the possibilities!

Blood drips onto the mallorn leaves - a dark portent indeed, and one that bodes ill for our fair forest!

Indeed! So, now all we need to do is find out who Shasta was cheating on Nerwen with, and we'll be halfway to catching the wolves!

I would never.

(Except, possibly, in the case of Rune, but I mean, come on, who wouldn't? )

But seriously, Nerwen has been my Queen of the Sea for years, I'd never do anything to upset her! (You should see how she gets when she's angry... )
