[Galadriel;]

If you aren't otherwise occupied, could I convince you to humor me for a while? I promise I'm in a much better mood than I was last time.



[Lucrezia;]

I was in a very poor mood the last time we spoke. I'd like to make it up to you.

Would you like to go out for coffee sometime?



[Faye;]

Yo, haven't seen you around in a while. Want to go get drinks or something?



[Public;]

[written in his girly neat handwriting.]

I think it's telling when the the bizarre and the absurd start to feel like any other day around here.

Perhaps soon it will feel like the powers-that-be are just trying too hard.

[i_got_this]

Yeah, I haven't quite gotten to that point yet, but I want to change my answer from your poll. [Stop the castle, she wants off. :| ]

[cheerupemoborg]

So the weird becomes normal, and normal becomes weird?

Zelman

[inafadingcrown]

I might be convinced. What did you have in mind?

[ino]

I'm pretty sure we passed the "trying too hard" part awhile back.

Zelman

[luckyvalentine]

[well hey, what's this? oh, a welcome distraction. that's what it is.]

I thought you didn't drink.

[though she can't quite remember where she got that impression from. huh.]

[exanimatus]

With that kind of reasoning, maybe it'll eventually balance itself back out.

But I'll bet money that if there were ever a string of months where nothing in particular happened around here, people would start getting paranoid and anxious. "Normalcy" is just too uncommon.

Dictated

[exanimatus]

[he'll dictate back, yeah. less weird than writing for this conversation.]

Oh yeah? What's changed your mind?

[dictated]

[thehistorian]

I can't tell anymore if I want to hit the stage where all this is normal, or if I want to desperately cling to what bits of sanity I have left that let me know how insane this place is.

dictated. hay baby haaay..

[tending]

[ ah, the magical words that no newbie wants to hear. she might have meant to just talk to herself, but the journal picks it up regardless! ]

I thought it seemed so pleasant..

[exanimatus]

[oh... goodness, he hasn't spoken with you in a while. or written, in this particular case.]

Maybe I just have an unusually strong grounding in "normal" reality. I couldn't tell you.

But where would you say that turned?

Galadriel

[exanimatus]

Nothing dramatic. I'd just like some interesting conversation.

Though I am interested in hearing more about your world, if you need a particular.

Faye

[exanimatus]

I'll drink when the mood strikes me. And I just happen to be in the mood.

[so what'll it be, Faye? huh? huh~?]

Zelman

[luckyvalentine]

[after running the idea through her brain (briefly) she decides that yes this sounds exactly like something she's looking for right now]

What a coincidence. I think I'm in the same mood.

[written]

[exanimatus]

Giving up is usually a great deal less stressful, I'll give it that.

But I already kind of miss having normal standards to gauge things with. It's give and take.

written. hey there cutie. C:

[exanimatus]

Are you new?

[tending]

Y-yes, I am! This is my second day here.

[cheerupemoborg]

I don't think it could keep it's hand off it's precious entertainment for that long.

Zelman

[inafadingcrown]

And of what would you have me tell? I have a great many tales.

Faye

[exanimatus]

Great. Any problems with meeting up in the city square?

Galadriel

[exanimatus]

So many choices... What could I possibly ask for first?

[and he really does have to think about that for a moment.]

I'd like to hear about heroes.

[exanimatus]

Are we really that precious?

[exanimatus]

Very new. Don't worry, you have time before you'll have any reason to even think about this sort of thing.

[cheerupemoborg]

Why bother keeping us here if we weren't?

Zelman

[inafadingcrown]

Ah, and there is a worthy topic indeed. I might sing of them, if you wish, for my people most oft tell these tales through song and verse.

Would you prefer to hear of the love of Beren and Lúthien Tinúviel? Of Eärendil the Mariner, who sails his ship across the skies? Of Gil-Galad, the last High King of the Noldor upon Middle-Earth? Or mayhaps the tale of Finrod Felagund, who fell in battle against the first Dark Lord, would be more to your liking?

Zelman

[heloise]

[ She tries, really she does, to remember any emotional wound he may have caused her in their last conversation. And fails. ]

There is no need for recompense, though I would never refuse time spent with a friend.
