[Dictated]

[rightjollyoldelf]

 [Everyone been enjoying the quiet? Good.  Because its just been shattered by a loud whoop and the clattering of small objects falling off tables as North dances a jig around his room.]

Did I not say?  Everyone always loves the sleigh! 

Now, will be six sleigh!  Is best thing!

[Another loud crash as North knocks another table over in his glee. Just be glad he isn't waving his swords around.]

See Bunny!  I tell you.  Sleigh is best form of vehicle!  is winner!

[North cuts himself off with another loud whoop.]

Come Katherine!  Jack!  We must celebrate!

Comments

[encryptedlock]

Congratulations on the victory! I am so looking forward to having a herd of sleighs running across the countryside, you have no idea.

[York does, in fact, sound kind of excited about it.]

[rightjollyoldelf]

Everybody loves the sleigh! This is always true!

[North is positively filled with enthusiasm at the idea.]

[encryptedlock]

I think you're right.

--They are easy to drive, right?

[rightjollyoldelf]

Bah, driving is piece of cake!

[encryptedlock]

[Somehow he's not entirely reassured, but--]

Good. Looking forward to it, then.

[storiestotell]

[ She's torn between laughing and shaking her head at him. ]

North! You really should be more careful!

[rightjollyoldelf]

Bah, now is not time for being careful! Now is time to celebrate!

Hey, congratulations! I figured you and Katherine would win.

[He winces, unseen, at the tiny things crashing on the floor.]

I hope none of that was fragile.

Re: dictated;

[rightjollyoldelf]

Is fine! I can fix!

[North waves dismissively at the mess and continues on with full enthusiasm.]

But yes! New version of sleigh wins! Now must make many more!

[snowstorms]

I don't think I can really help with that, but uh, if they need testing? You know, to make sure they're... weather ready?

I'm your guy.

[rightjollyoldelf]

[And that earns another jolly laugh from North.]

Of course! Will call you when testing time is here.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

You're making more of them?

[Why do you hate him, universe? What did he ever do to you? He lets out a groan]

Yeah. Ripper. Woop-ie for you.

[rightjollyoldelf]

Six more! For expeditions! Is prize of race!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[WHY GOD WHYYYYY]

North, promise me right here and right now there won't be any vicious animals pulling them this time.

[rightjollyoldelf]

Had to run by steam for race. No animals.

Yet. Must still find some.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

You don't need any animals, North. But if you have to, use the bloody horses in the stables. Things that won't try to bite your face off for going near them.

[rightjollyoldelf]

Now Bunny, horses will not work. Horses do not fly.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Can you even fly out there? Just have something that walks, North. No one will think any less of you for it.

[whistles_the_blues]

Hm... So I take it you were the one driving the sled?

[Because when he watched the sled take off, he didn't see a driver.]

[rightjollyoldelf]

Was one, yes. Recruited old friend as other driver.

[whistles_the_blues]

I have to admit, I didn't expect our vehicle to be bested by a sled. It was interesting.

[rightjollyoldelf]

Bah, should see what proper sleigh can do. Should be drawn by reindeer.

[whistles_the_blues]

I suppose, but that's not exactly what they were looking for this time around.

[unexpected_adventures]

[Bilbo will now be staring at the man dancing around the room. He looked vaguely like Gandalf but rather jollier.]

Sleigh? As in the ones children ride when it snows? [Even hobbits had sleighs in Hobbiton.]

[rightjollyoldelf]

No, no. Sleigh is much larger! Much, much larger! Must be, to carry toys and passengers!

[unexpected_adventures]

Why would you want to put toys and passengers within this sleigh? [It was lost on Bilbo. Sorry, Santa.]

[rightjollyoldelf]

How else should toys be delivered?

[unexpected_adventures]

Why would you want to deliver toys on a sleigh?

[rightjollyoldelf]

Is sleigh! Children love sleigh.
