Barrow-Downs Birthday Party at the Fields of Cormallen - Page 6 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Frodo Baggins · 05-21-2002, 10:18 AM

Frodo put his head in his hands "oh dear! Oh dear! What am I going to do???? That chain was priceless. And that jewel was my succor. When it was given me I was told ' when merey of darkness and burden trouble you, this will bring you aid" Now what will I do?????

piosenniel · 05-21-2002, 10:54 AM

'Dawn has cracked and so surely has this little world I find myself facing,' thought piosenniel blearily. I had been a tiring night eluding both a balrog and the Barrow Wight in the deep, dark vastnesses of the Downs. One wanted to turn her into a crispy critter, and the other, though apparently sleepwalking, kept muttering feverishly to himself 'Must abduct . . . must slay . . . cold elf on a colder slab of stone . . .we likes it!'

piosenniel shook her head to rid herself of the random images. 'The Wight saying "we likes it"? It must have been a bad dream - but then why are my legs so tired as if I had run for Ages?'

Climbing out of the tunnel did not seem as long a task as falling down it. Peering cautiously over the edge, she spied both Birdie and C7A huddled over a large pot of strong coffee, wearing tie-dyed Barrow Downs t-shirts with the logo : FRODO LIVES! scrawled on them in magic marker. Each 'O' in FRODO having the peace sign penned into it. 'Oh my!' thought piosenniel to herself, 'I've fallen down the rabbit hole and come up in the sixties!'

'Hey!', shout the two remnants of the radical left in unison. 'Ai na vedui . . .mae govannen!'

'Come have a cuppa heartstarter, pio,' offers C7A. 'Yeah, we need a third pair of hands for the guerilla actions we're planning for the party today.' says Birdie. 'And what the heck happened to you last night? The last thing we saw was the ground open up and swallow you right after you channeled Gandalf.' Both looked at her expectantly.

'Some coffee first, ladies, and then we'll hash out my thoughts on the odd events taking place here. I have my theories, and the main one is sitiing close by!' piosenniel glanced meaningfully in the direction of Mithadan, whose hand seemed to caress a silver remote control while his mouth curved into a puckish smile.

'Ooh, I'm thinking the target is in sight for the first prong of our attack.' whispered Birdie.

'Let me just haul out my parchment and quill & we'll draw up a battle plan.' rejoined C7A, digging into the depths of her mailsack.

The object of their covert scrutiny arose from his sitting position, stretched mightily, and surveyed the party site. Need to stretch his legs a bit more, he ambled down the small hill on which he stood and passed by the 3 women slowly sipping their morning brew.

'Ladies!', he said in greeting, with a tug to his forelock.

'Mithadan.' returned the trio in unison.

As he strolled past them, preparing to walk the perimeter of the
field, it seemed as if a chill breeze had sprung up from behind, sending a small frisson of impending doom down his spine.

ElanorGamgee · 05-21-2002, 11:23 AM

"Again, Kuruharan, of course you didn't spike the Dr.Pepper. But I think I'll drink out of this nice can just to be safe." Elanor grins and takes a sip from her can, but alas! someone has poured a strong liquid into it. As she can't even smell alcohol without getting a bit tipsy, she momentarily blacks out, only to be awakened by the mob of girls chasing Legolas through a pavallion. "Kuruharan! If you're responsible for this..." Elanor begins, but the herd of fangirls stops her short as they burst from the pavillion and run directly toward her. Suddenly she finds herself running for her life next to Legolas. "So, how ya doin'?" she asks the Elf as she sprints.

Birdland · 05-21-2002, 11:32 AM

The turntable drops the next 45 from the stack and Berry McGuire intones "The Eastern world, it is explodin'...("Some things never change", thinks Birdie sadly) and a bearded Beorn wanders by explaining cheerfully "I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in."

Wait a minute! This is The Barrow Downs of Middle Earth! 45s haven't been invented yet. How did we wind up in the future????

OK, Piosenniel, I'm behind you. Ooooooh, but wait until this song's over!" As Birdie starts waltzing with a Dragon to "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

Rosa!!!!!! If you're behind this your in trouble!! Just give me tea I usually don't drink coffee. *muttering alone in a coorner* Pinching my chain! Well she didn't get my circlet anyway. Next time I see that Rosa I will slap her!!
Hey Galalriel!!!! Can I have some of that wine?

Amanaduial the archer · 05-21-2002, 12:52 PM

Coming sheepishly through the ceiling on a beautiful silver tree, Amanaduial lands sheepishly on the floor- this is becoming a habit. "Hey all...?" She looks at the chaos of the room, with not alot of idea where is or what exactly is happening. Snapping her fingers busily, the elegant elf stands awkwardly, feeling out of place. However, as a full scale dragon waltz appears to be starting, Amanaduial is soon swept up by a dashing silver dragon, its lovely scales complimenting her swirling silver and blue robe as they whirl around together.

Daisy Sandybanks · 05-21-2002, 12:59 PM

Daisy, slowly opening her eyes, suddenly realizes that she had dozed off to sleep and that it is now quite late in the evening and, that for some reason, she has a throbbing headache. Slowly getting up, she also notices that her mug of ale has disappeared from its in the grass next to her, "how rude!" She exclaims, "just taking my ale like that…. Inconsiderate, greedy, little…" she grumbles on.

Sensing that she missed quite a bit of the action, Daisy wanders about, looking for a familiar face to talk to and chat with. "My, my! What has happened here…." She says, with a rather perplexed look on her face, "this is no joyful Hobbit party that I have stumbled on to, this seems as though a pack of drunken dragons had a duel with one another" she mumbles to herself. Looking at, and stepping over, all the debry strewn about the grounds and passed out creatures lying in very odd positions on the ground with wine and other liquor bottles propped up around them, she picks up a nearby half filled mug of ale sitting next to a quietly passed out, what seems to be, form of a Hobbit.

Daisy continues her search for some explanation of what exactly happened here, stopping occasionally to tend to her now painful headache. Wandering around a bit, Daisy begins to realize that this state of mess wasn't new when she got up, that all this had been here when she first came. Daisy hadn't realized that she hadn't remembered any of it, because at the time she was so exhausted. Then, at that very moment, something popped into Daisy's head.

She wasn't exhausted until after she had got that mug of ale that was gone when she woke up. "The funny thing is, I don't remember anything after that…. though…. Wait… I do remember doing something up on top of a table somewhere… oh; this can't be good…"Daisy mumbles to herself, stepping over a passed out Dwarf. Then something hits her "Wait a minute…. The ale wasn't… no, silly me, no one would do that to ale… would they?" She groans, "Oh, you foolish Hobbit you, what did Mother say to you? 'Don't ever attend a party thrown for a Barrow, You'll never know what might happen to you.'" Daisy looks down at her mug of ale that she had swiped off of some unconscious Hobbit a while back, and pours it out onto the ground. "Oh, what have I gotten myself into…." She mumbles one last time, quietly to herself.

Sindacuion · 05-21-2002, 01:35 PM

"My my, Daisy. What has happened to you?" As Daisy mumbles something about a headache, Sind passes her an aspirin, err.. athelas, in a form of a pill. "Here. That should help you a bit." After something that sounded like fanks, Sindacuion heads for the buffet table for some breakfast. "Oh my, what happened when I was asleep?!" He was very happy, for he had packed lembas for himself. "Somehow I knew that this would come in handy.." After munching on some lembas, he goes in search for a friend to talk to. "Well, Daisy is out of the question, I see. I quess I'll keep on looking. I wonder if that Estelyn is still chasing that dragon?" He takes a sip of wine (some was left from last night, somehow) he walks to the garden and climbs up his regular tree. "I guess I'll stay here and mope then.."

Rose Cotton · 05-21-2002, 02:19 PM

AFTER SHE GOT HER SENCE BACK AND SWORE TO HERSELF SHE WOULD NEVER DRINK ROOTBEER AGAIN ROSE COTTON TRIES TO FIND SOMTHING TO DO.

ROSE STAYS A GOOD WAY FROM FRODO BAGGINS AND EYES HIM NERVOUSLY. SHE DOSN'T KNOW IF HE'S RELIZED THAT IT WAS HER THAT TOOK HIS JEWLED NECKLACE.

BUT ROSE IS GETTING A LITTLE DISAPOINTED.

NO ONE SEEMS TO NOTICE SHE'S THERE.

SO SHE DECIDES TO SIT DOWN NEXT TO A TREE AND WATCH EVERYONE DEALING IN THERE OWN MATTERS.

ElanorGamgee · 05-21-2002, 02:30 PM

Elanor notices Rose looking lonely by the tree. "Hi!" she shouts, running to meet her, forgetting that she and Legolas are being persued by about 247 screaming fangirls. Rose's eyes widen and she starts to run. "Hey, Rose, what are you running away for? I just wanted to say hi!" Rose motions toward the girls. "Ohhhh..." says Elanor, suddenly remebering why she is running.

stone of vision · 05-21-2002, 02:39 PM

Lying limply among the empty -oh good fringant pony/ green dragon barrels of ale, Stone of vision, stuffed like an amphora, is snoring; careless of the rush in the outside world.
Until the end, our good fellow slept in deep content, if stones are content.

Child of the 7th Age · 05-21-2002, 02:40 PM

Child shakes her curly head in amazement and inches over towards Piosenniel. She sets her mailbag on the floor as second and third doubts begin to assail her about the wisdom of drafting a battle plan against his highness, Lord Mithadan, who is far above her in both stature and rank.

Piosenniel, er, er..... "Guerilla actions?"...."First prong of an attack?"

Child hastily scrawls a note to Piosennil, slips it into her lap and beats a hasty retreat to a distant corner of the pavillion. This note reads:

Dear Elf Friend,

Now, I will not deny that in my distant past, in the true days of "Frodo Lives," I did some rather strange things which involved being chained up to administative buildings as well as protest marches and similar activities which had best remain unsaid and which, I am certain, Professor Tolkien would not approve of!!

However, I am now a semi-respectable dweller in the Barrow-downs who, by great zeal and hogging the family computer, finally managed to make it up to "wight". I even have aspirations to go beyond that lowly status. And it is my clear understanding that those who attempted revolutionary measures in the past were unceremoniously dumped down to the rank of "newly deceased", a fate I would prefer not to share.

Moreover you, as an exalted Elf, are better equipped to lead such a movement. I am at best a poor, humble hobbit who may already be in trouble for posting scurrilous and long-winded threads. So, it is undoubtedly best that you go forward in this half-baked effort on your own, or perhaps with the assistance of Birdland, who has been known to act as ringleader in many less than reputable circles. Or perhaps you could get one of the Tooks to assist you as they also have a reputation for strangeness!

Your more respectable hobbit friend

***Mithadan*** · 05-21-2002, 02:56 PM

Mithadan decides to head over to the Beatles concert and join Stephanos. He checks his silver beeper for messages, then heads toward the edge of the fields. In doing so, he passes Child of the Seventh Age, Piosennial and Birdland. They are looking at him oddly. "Ladies," he said as he passed. "Mithadan," they replied in unison. As he walked on, it felt as if a chill breeze had sprung up from behind, sending a small frisson of impending doom down his spine. He shuddered.

Galadrie1 · 05-21-2002, 03:12 PM

Galadriel awakes and looks around. She has no idea what is going on, since she didn't bother reading the last page and a half. She shrugs, grabs a bottle of wine from some pocket on her dress, and begins spinning again...

Niere-Teleliniel · 05-21-2002, 03:13 PM

Niere crawls out from under the table where she was hiding from Cimm and his RPG minions. She slowly walks back to her book, stopping for a moment to finish off the cheesecake.

She suddenly notices Galadriel's somewhat unhealthy state. Jumping up, she catches the gyrating elf and leads her over the the coffee. "Calm down hun, let's see if we can put you to rights!" As she goes, she descreetly pitches the bottle of wine in the nearest trashcan.

Ithaeliel · 05-21-2002, 03:20 PM

Ithaeliel is woken up when Galadriel wakes up. She starts crying. "What's wrong, Ithaeliel?"
"I had *sniff* a nighmare... th-they made us do a page and a half on... h-hurricanes!"
GASP!!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
Ithaeliel wipes away her tears and smiles. "Anyway, back to the party." She decides not to drink anymore and goes to play spin the bottle with Gimli and the others. "Ech! That wasn't pretty..."

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Galadrie1 · 05-21-2002, 03:24 PM

Galadriel, still spinning, sees Ithaeliel walk over to the game of spin-the-bottle. being parcial (sp?) to both bottles and spinning, Galadriel dicides to join in. she sits down beside Ithaeliel and waits for someone to spin the bottle...

[ May 21, 2002: Message edited by: Galadrie1 ]

Auriel Haevasawen · 05-21-2002, 03:28 PM

Auriel quietly returns to inspect the carnage of the party from the night before. Dawn has risen on the field and a cool grey mist swirls around bundles of clothes upon the ground, curled below the trees. On closer inspection she discovers they are creatures, some known to her and some not. In the centre, miraculous in her ability not to fall over the sleeping hordes is Galadriel, spinning and still consuming that magic wine. Somewhere she can faintly hear the sound of the Beatles which has her slightly perplexed, although not as much as The Smiths reforming for the party which is being muttered about by a bundle of rags quite close to her feet. "Strange," she thinks "I met Johnny Marr a couple of months back and he never mentioned it."
The table is now devoid of food and is actually being slept upon by 3 orcs and a rather sparkly dragon. She retrieves the plate her cheesecake arrived on and begins to climb over the sleeping guests to see if she can find any of her friends from last night.

Thinhyandoiel · 05-21-2002, 03:29 PM

Thinhyandoiel comes stalking out of the little groups of trees, having slept the night up high in a tall birch. She has found the little dragon, and sends him off scurrying to Kuruharan. Then, satisfied with her work, she amuses herself with Galadriel dancing with her wine bottle and magic dress. Finally, she walks over to her.

"I must say, where did you get that marvelous piece of fabric?"

[ May 21, 2002: Message edited by: Thinhyandoiel ]

Galadrie1 · 05-21-2002, 03:33 PM

Galadriel had grown tired of the game of spin-the-bottle, since there was not nearly enough spinning involved. she starts spinning again, but stops when Thinhyandoiel walks over to her. "where did i get it? gosh, i don't really remember. it's kinda old..." She starts spinning again, this time deep in thought... where did she get this dress????

Niere-Teleliniel · 05-21-2002, 03:34 PM

Niere shrugs and surveys the mess. Heaving a great sigh, she whips several economy-sized trash bags out of her turban (Yeah, I came prepared!) and starts cleaning up the paper plates, broken glass etc. In response to several incredulous cries from nearby partygoers, she says, "Yeah, I know the party's not over yet! Just keeping on top of things!" She makes a mental note to enlist Airetalathwen's help in the near future.

Rose Cotton · 05-21-2002, 03:37 PM

Finally! Rose says. Some action.

Elanor gives Rose a looks that says 'being chased by fan girls is your idea of acton?'

But Rose has an idea.

"Elanor, Legolas, follow me. Let's try my idea." Rose starts to head for the Barrow Wright's tent.

Galadrie1 · 05-21-2002, 03:37 PM

Galadriel decides she will never be able to figure out where the Magic Dress came from, and spins over to Niere, depositing 3 empty wine bottles into a trash bag. "thanx guys, i had a great time," she says to the bottles as she drops them. "i'll miss you..." she wipes a tear from her eye and pulls out another full bottle from the Mystery pocket, takes a gulp, and continues spinning..

Galadrie1 · 05-21-2002, 03:41 PM

Galadriel stops spinning and scampers off to her tree. She closes her eyes, and falls asleep again..

She's the teenage girl.. her mother has just called her to dinner... she'll be back as soon as possible....

Niere-Teleliniel · 05-21-2002, 03:41 PM

In a super-fast move (from watching her little sister's countless taekwondo classes) Niere snatches the Wine from Galadriel and deposits it in her trash bag. "If you want something to drink sweetie, try the coffee!" (Entirely selfish, she merely wants someone sober enough to help with the cleanup...)

Thinhyandoiel · 05-21-2002, 03:43 PM

"Drat. I really wanted one." Thinhyandoiel grumbles and walks over to help Niere clean up.

"I'm sober!" She grins and points to the supposedly "SAFE" Dr.Pepper.

Niere-Teleliniel · 05-21-2002, 03:44 PM

"Have a trashbag, Thinhya! I'll start at that end, meet me in the middle!"

"Kuruharan! If you're responsible for this..."

Awww, that's so sweet of you to instantly think of me when something smells...um...altered. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But I didn't do it, I was gone at the time, I think. I'm not to sure exactly what happened.

Quote:

She has found the little dragon, and sends him off scurrying to Kuruharan.

Ah, is that where he went. Last time I saw him he was on a frolic with Estelyn. And he's not really so little, something like 30 feet long. Not as big as Smaug, but much bigger than me. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Quote:

You realize of course that your liver is going to be the size of a watermelon before you're finished.

Goes off to listen to the Beatles...

Thinhyandoiel · 05-21-2002, 03:48 PM

"You're welcome Kuruharan! But...I thought I saw this dragon run off last night, and so I ran after him. This isn't your dragon!? Uh-oh..." Thinhyandoiel grimaces in obvious worry as she picks up a broken glass. "Let's not tell the Shirrif's, shall we?" And she goes on to meet Niere in the middle.

Auriel Haevasawen · 05-21-2002, 03:48 PM

As she can only see someone cleaning up Auriel is slightly at a loss as to whether to stay a while and continue searching for the friends she made last night or leave for good. It was a fantastic party but she was secretly hoping it would be pushing on through dawn. Just because she was an elf didn't mean she wasn't particulary fond of food. Years of wandering with the Rangers and left her with a healthy respect for a good breakfast. (it might be the only meal of the day). She was also particularly disappointed that the music had stopped, the highpoint of the evening had been her dances with Frodo and 'likely looking elf'. "Oh bother, just as I was coming out of my shell."

Auriel Haevasawen · 05-21-2002, 03:51 PM

Heigho, there's always the Beatles.

Frodo Baggins · 05-21-2002, 03:55 PM

I see you, Rose!!!! *Frodo runt toward Rose Cotton* You give me that pinched chain this miniute or I will tell the shirrifs and have them arrest you!! *Frodo holds out his hand*
As soon as I beat this little pincher you and I can have another dance Auriel.

Rose Cotton · 05-21-2002, 03:57 PM

Rose runs up to the Barrow Wrights tent. The fangirls would never dare to go inside here.
Rose was sure the Barrow Wright wouldn't mind.
She goes inside................

ElanorGamgee · 05-21-2002, 03:57 PM

Rose, Legolas, and Elanor run toward the Barrow-Wight's tent. Elanor feels a lump forming in her throat. "I sure hope you have a good plan," she stammers. "The Barrow-Wight keeps mentioning abducting and sacrificing." Legolas mutters something in Elvish.

Auriel Haevasawen · 05-21-2002, 04:00 PM

Suddenly Auriel spots Rose running into the black tent. She surprises herself by shouting and thereby alterting Frodo as to what is happening.

Auriel Haevasawen · 05-21-2002, 04:01 PM

Unfortuneatly her shout also wakes the sleeping fangirls who begin to stir and their leaders spot their quarry following Rose.

Auriel Haevasawen · 05-21-2002, 04:03 PM

AAGh! (Auriel is now slightly hysteric and forced to make a third posting because she has realised the problems she has created.) If only she remained her usual reserved self.

Auriel Haevasawen · 05-21-2002, 04:12 PM

Terrified that she has angered everyone Auriel feels it would be a good time to leave again. She has a long day of work to face and a plate to wash. She will try to return later and see if she's been forgiven.(In the mortal world she's facing the second bedtime since this party began and wishes she didn't work such long hours!)

Rose Cotton · 05-21-2002, 04:19 PM

Rose followed by Elanor and Legolas runs inside the tent. It's very dark and cold.

Rose sees where the entrance to the Barrow is and ducks inside it.

Outside the tent, the fangirls are wondering whether they dare go inside.

Rose sees the Barrow Wright slumped on the floor of the Barrow.

"What now?" Elanor asks.

"I figured the fangirls wouldn't follow us in here." Rose answers.

Frodo Baggins · 05-21-2002, 04:48 PM

*outside* Rose!! YOu give me that chain thin minute!!!!!! I mean it!!! Or i'll tell the BW he can have you.

Daisy Sandybanks Wight Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: California Posts: 101	Daisy, slowly opening her eyes, suddenly realizes that she had dozed off to sleep and that it is now quite late in the evening and, that for some reason, she has a throbbing headache. Slowly getting up, she also notices that her mug of ale has disappeared from its in the grass next to her, "how rude!" She exclaims, "just taking my ale like that…. Inconsiderate, greedy, little…" she grumbles on. Sensing that she missed quite a bit of the action, Daisy wanders about, looking for a familiar face to talk to and chat with. "My, my! What has happened here…." She says, with a rather perplexed look on her face, "this is no joyful Hobbit party that I have stumbled on to, this seems as though a pack of drunken dragons had a duel with one another" she mumbles to herself. Looking at, and stepping over, all the debry strewn about the grounds and passed out creatures lying in very odd positions on the ground with wine and other liquor bottles propped up around them, she picks up a nearby half filled mug of ale sitting next to a quietly passed out, what seems to be, form of a Hobbit. Daisy continues her search for some explanation of what exactly happened here, stopping occasionally to tend to her now painful headache. Wandering around a bit, Daisy begins to realize that this state of mess wasn't new when she got up, that all this had been here when she first came. Daisy hadn't realized that she hadn't remembered any of it, because at the time she was so exhausted. Then, at that very moment, something popped into Daisy's head. She wasn't exhausted until after she had got that mug of ale that was gone when she woke up. "The funny thing is, I don't remember anything after that…. though…. Wait… I do remember doing something up on top of a table somewhere… oh; this can't be good…"Daisy mumbles to herself, stepping over a passed out Dwarf. Then something hits her "Wait a minute…. The ale wasn't… no, silly me, no one would do that to ale… would they?" She groans, "Oh, you foolish Hobbit you, what did Mother say to you? 'Don't ever attend a party thrown for a Barrow, You'll never know what might happen to you.'" Daisy looks down at her mug of ale that she had swiped off of some unconscious Hobbit a while back, and pours it out onto the ground. "Oh, what have I gotten myself into…." She mumbles one last time, quietly to herself. __________________ Knowlege is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.

Sindacuion Animated Skeleton Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Laurelindórenan Posts: 49	"My my, Daisy. What has happened to you?" As Daisy mumbles something about a headache, Sind passes her an aspirin, err.. athelas, in a form of a pill. "Here. That should help you a bit." After something that sounded like fanks, Sindacuion heads for the buffet table for some breakfast. "Oh my, what happened when I was asleep?!" He was very happy, for he had packed lembas for himself. "Somehow I knew that this would come in handy.." After munching on some lembas, he goes in search for a friend to talk to. "Well, Daisy is out of the question, I see. I quess I'll keep on looking. I wonder if that Estelyn is still chasing that dragon?" He takes a sip of wine (some was left from last night, somehow) he walks to the garden and climbs up his regular tree. "I guess I'll stay here and mope then.." [ May 21, 2002: Message edited by: Sindacuion ] __________________ [ . . . Signature in process . . . ]

"Hey, Rose, what are you running away for? I just wanted to say hi!" Rose motions toward the girls. "Ohhhh..." says Elanor, suddenly remebering why she is running.

Child of the 7th Age Spirit of the Lonely Star Join Date: Mar 2002 Posts: 5,133	Child shakes her curly head in amazement and inches over towards Piosenniel. She sets her mailbag on the floor as second and third doubts begin to assail her about the wisdom of drafting a battle plan against his highness, Lord Mithadan, who is far above her in both stature and rank. Piosenniel, er, er..... "Guerilla actions?"...."First prong of an attack?" Child hastily scrawls a note to Piosennil, slips it into her lap and beats a hasty retreat to a distant corner of the pavillion. This note reads: Dear Elf Friend, Now, I will not deny that in my distant past, in the true days of "Frodo Lives," I did some rather strange things which involved being chained up to administative buildings as well as protest marches and similar activities which had best remain unsaid and which, I am certain, Professor Tolkien would not approve of!! However, I am now a semi-respectable dweller in the Barrow-downs who, by great zeal and hogging the family computer, finally managed to make it up to "wight". I even have aspirations to go beyond that lowly status. And it is my clear understanding that those who attempted revolutionary measures in the past were unceremoniously dumped down to the rank of "newly deceased", a fate I would prefer not to share. Moreover you, as an exalted Elf, are better equipped to lead such a movement. I am at best a poor, humble hobbit who may already be in trouble for posting scurrilous and long-winded threads. So, it is undoubtedly best that you go forward in this half-baked effort on your own, or perhaps with the assistance of Birdland, who has been known to act as ringleader in many less than reputable circles. Or perhaps you could get one of the Tooks to assist you as they also have a reputation for strangeness!

*Mithadan* Spirit of Mist Join Date: Jul 2000 Location: Tol Eressea Posts: 3,397	Mithadan decides to head over to the Beatles concert and join Stephanos. He checks his silver beeper for messages, then heads toward the edge of the fields. In doing so, he passes Child of the Seventh Age, Piosennial and Birdland. They are looking at him oddly. "Ladies," he said as he passed. "Mithadan," they replied in unison. As he walked on, it felt as if a chill breeze had sprung up from behind, sending a small frisson of impending doom down his spine. He shuddered. __________________ Beleriand, Beleriand, the borders of the Elven-land.

She has no idea what is going on, since she didn't bother reading the last page and a half. She shrugs, grabs a bottle of wine from some pocket on her dress, and begins spinning again... __________________ "For this is what your folk would call magic, I believe; though I do not understand clearly what they mean; and they seem to use the same word of the deceits of the Enemy.

She slowly walks back to her book, stopping for a moment to finish off the cheesecake. She suddenly notices Galadriel's somewhat unhealthy state. Jumping up, she catches the gyrating elf and leads her over the the coffee. "Calm down hun, let's see if we can put you to rights!" As she goes, she descreetly pitches the bottle of wine in the nearest trashcan.

Auriel Haevasawen Wight Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Nowhere of importance Posts: 240	Auriel quietly returns to inspect the carnage of the party from the night before. Dawn has risen on the field and a cool grey mist swirls around bundles of clothes upon the ground, curled below the trees. On closer inspection she discovers they are creatures, some known to her and some not. In the centre, miraculous in her ability not to fall over the sleeping hordes is Galadriel, spinning and still consuming that magic wine. Somewhere she can faintly hear the sound of the Beatles which has her slightly perplexed, although not as much as The Smiths reforming for the party which is being muttered about by a bundle of rags quite close to her feet. "Strange," she thinks "I met Johnny Marr a couple of months back and he never mentioned it." The table is now devoid of food and is actually being slept upon by 3 orcs and a rather sparkly dragon. She retrieves the plate her cheesecake arrived on and begins to climb over the sleeping guests to see if she can find any of her friends from last night. __________________ Auriel

She has found the little dragon, and sends him off scurrying to Kuruharan. Then, satisfied with her work, she amuses herself with Galadriel dancing with her wine bottle and magic dress. Finally, she walks over to her. "I must say, where did you get that marvelous piece of fabric?"

Heaving a great sigh, she whips several economy-sized trash bags out of her turban (Yeah, I came prepared!) and starts cleaning up the paper plates, broken glass etc. In response to several incredulous cries from nearby partygoers, she says, "Yeah, I know the party's not over yet! Just keeping on top of things!" She makes a mental note to enlist Airetalathwen's help in the near future. __________________ He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.... ~Douglas Adams
