action, dictated.

[ The journal is often cruel, such as now.

There's only anxious breathing to be heard at first, a quick patter of bare feet and the sound of a room being torn apart; books tumbling to the floor, tea cups shattering and even the bed toppling over. Panic gives one unnatural strength. Soon there's a tiny voice muttering to itself, growing in volume and pitch. ]

No. No.
No. Where is it? Who took it? Bilbo. The Lady. Who? How dare they? It's mine. It was given to me. I claimed it. It's mine.

[ Now the bookshelf falls to the floor, accompanying a frustrated groan after Frodo has exhausted every hiding place. Disheveled and visibly anxious, he patters out the door to wander the hallways with an uncharacteristic urgency. He must find it or else-- or else-- it frightens him more than death itself. ]


[ The message is brief and rashly written, the letters jumping all over the page unlike Frodo's commonly firm, flowing script. But he doesn't dare say it to her so the ink must speak on his behalf. ]

It's gone.

[ ooc; so it begins! ]

[Unusual looking folks were not an uncommon thing for Mal to see, either here in Paradisa or back home. The distressed look was different, though. Mal pauses in his walk down the hall and looks down at Frodo, concerned.]

Son, you alright?

Frodo? What's wrong? [Bilbo's face was a mask of worry. What had happened and why was Frodo so distraught? What is so precious to Frodo that could cause such a reaction. Could it be?...]

Has someone taken the Ring?

[Uh oh]

What have you lost?

Frodo? What's the matter?

What was stolen?

[And this is something that she has feared since he first arrived. She doesn't bother to write into the journal, opting instead to speak directly.]

Come to my rooms. This I would discuss in person.
gottaknockhard: (do I want to know?)

Frodo

[Spike is just listening to this, perplexed because... well, he's never heard Frodo's voice get like that. But he knows what it's like to suddenly lose something important, which he must have. It's not like Spike hasn't seen hints before that he might not be entirely carefree.

For a while he debates letting him have his private freak out moment without spoiling it by letting him know how public it is -- until he hears someone else breaks that news for him. (Couldn't hurt now, could it?)]


Need a hand?
indirectcause: (What you want me to be)

[personal profile] indirectcause 2013-10-16 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, what sort of treasure? I'll help you look for it.
gottaknockhard: (concern)

Frodo

[personal profile] gottaknockhard 2013-10-16 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[He has a thing about keeping things quiet. The least he can do is try to salvage Frodo's reputation for him.]

It's not uncommon. I'd be surprised if this is your first time. [...Not comforting...] What happened?
gottaknockhard: (down time)

Frodo

[A gold ring... That sounds like something someone would steal, although he doesn't say so. It's pretty apparent that Frodo is anxious enough as it is.]

In that case, it might help to have another set of eyes.

[He wouldn't usually offer this, but he figures he owes him one.]
indirectcause: (I won't listen anyway)

[personal profile] indirectcause 2013-10-16 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
...Okay.

You aright, man? You sound kinda weird.

[Mal holds up his hands in a placating gesture, but his expression is hard.]

Whoa now. You're the one wonderin' around like you've had too much to drink. I's just offerin' to help.
gottaknockhard: (tiny grain of truth)

Frodo

[personal profile] gottaknockhard 2013-10-16 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Not one to get into any personal business that he isn't invited to, he's used to leaving it at that, and he would have if Frodo had simply said that's what it is. He only asks one more time in case the detail he gave is his way of asking for help without asking.]

Are you sure?
