[dictated/action] A Hobbit and his ramblings

[unexpected_adventures]

[Bilbo thinks of what to say before scratching his quill onto his journal, as he's sitting under the large bows of a tree. He's outside once more, as he finds himself becoming a constant visitor the castle's grounds. The large tree just outside the castle walls is one of his favourite sitting spots. For either writing, reading or just relaxing. He is happy because Thorin has joined him within the castle. Now, he has more people from his own world. Something, this hobbit is pleased about.]

A curious question if you like, regarding the castle and it's choice of who it places inside it's walls. Thorin Oakenshield, my dwarf friend, has recently been brought here by the castle's choice. Did it know that I was thinking of having dwarven company? Or is the selection random? I am wondering if the castle knows what we are thinking all the time.

As if, it knows what I am writing at this very moment and is thinking of ways to sate my thoughts. Does the castle have an intelligence of some kind? I am just curious if anyone else thinks the same thing as me.

Or am I just rambling on like an old hobbit? My father would say I've had too much to drink and my mind starts rabbiting on about useless ideas. If someone thinks about having a friend or family member here, do they suddenly appear? As if by magic? [Bilbo stared at the page of his journal, before looking up at the moving clouds above.]

Well, that's about it. Another ramble by this hobbit and I hope someone can give me some feedback on my curiosity.

It isn't just rambling, as that was not what this journal entry was about. I am just curious if the selection of people here is random or not. If you were thinking about having your friend here, would they suddenly appear in the castle?

[He'd been teasing, but he's kind of proving his point anyway.]

That's a lot of responsibility to take on.

[unexpected_adventures]

Well, yes, I suppose it is. But I think a lot and am wondering what other people think within the castle. Regarding the appearance of friends and the like.

[gottaknockhard]

Nobody likes to believe in coincidences.

[unexpected_adventures]

Is that true? Well, what I have found out whilst adventuring, is that you can never take anything as it comes.

[gottaknockhard]

Adventuring, huh?

[unexpected_adventures]

Yes, adventuring. I wasn't planning on having large adventures in my life....they just happened to me, you see?

[gottaknockhard]

Maybe it runs in the family.
