Ok so you really go to ME
Many people here have expressed a desire to go ME.
Let us assume that there is a collective sub-creative force that would deposit the psychic energies of tolkien's world in another dimension via a subtle quantum manifestion of accumalted desires to back it so. So doing a sub-quantum storm pass through earth at just the same time you log on to the moot you are now in ME late 3rd age. different scenarios 1) you are zapped there JUST as you are right now. No preparation. You could appear randomly ANYwhere. The middle of the ocean or baradur to rivendell to mesdusheld. you would probaly be killed/die of starvation no map no nothing. 2) luck is on our side since the books are written in a langauge that we understand our collective sub-creative force manifest westron as english and the desire see the good guys puts you in a friendly realm.( even our minority member are not outright killed as Southrons or easterlings) the cries of ME have and your desire to go have brought you there. Your purpose is like that of the Istari to help aid the people of ME. You KNow that you are there to aid the free-peoples. You have the maps of middle -earth with you and a knowledge of the world. You have a sub conscious feeling for the world that that gives you unearthly insight from their point of view. But you lack the innate power of a true emissary from the West. Say you arrive at the white council just before it drives the necromancer out of Dul Goldur. You appear in a flash of light upon the floor of their last meeting before the assault the worm hole jump has you weak and you pass out before you can speak. Oh you are phyiscally STUCK at the age you are now. you are just as you are now. ( a normal human but with the elven immunity to sickness and aging the sub-creative quantum leap did this. But not other powers or skills than you have now. Yes there is one your mind is shielded form theirs. being an extra planar being you have this gift. You can still be broken mentally but they can not read your mind. and maybe you are NOT a beacon to the lidless eye. you appear as a normal human with all of this what would you do? to change the events.

Hmm. Interesting. I'll have to think on it. I would hope luck would be with me, though! I've thought about what I would do if I landed in ME suddenly. Quite a lot, in fact. But I always pictured myself landing in Weathertop with Aragorn and the Hobbits, for some reason.

I am assuming they inherently trust me and seek my council.
I would let them know about the existing palantirs and their potential for corruption , thereby hoping to avoid the treason of Sauruman and the fiasco with Denenthor. (P.S. Can't wait to read bropous' response)

hmmm... I would help and give insight as much as I was able, but I would also learn archery/combat from the elves, developing myself as a warrior as best I could. Study wisdom and wizardry, etc... perhaps with those skills and an outsiders knowledge, history would progess differently.

Erm . . . why would I want to change events? Things seemed to work out pretty much all right to me. It's not like I could stop the Elves from leaving, since most of them were already gone, and the great days of Numenor and such were already long past. The only thing I could influence would be the fight against Sauron, but that seemed to work out pretty well without my help, all things considered.
Thus, having washed my hands of all responsibility, I would travel through Middle Earth as some sort of wandering musician.

Company! Oh, how lovely! And you're from Oregon? Me too (although I live in *evil* CA now)! We will wander Arda, gladdening hearts with music and art . . . all handsome Elves, Hobbits, and Men will flee before us . . .

You could save countless lives and a lot of pain and suffering with your fore knowledge and aid
it would be dangerous for two teenage girls (I believe) go traipsing around with a lute and sktech pad at anytime. especially between the time period mentioned above.

& thank you for thinking i might be a teenage girl!! if that is because i write all in non-caps, it is only that i am a quite lazy keyboarder. if i were a young girl, my name would probably be: vardasoronwen vardasoroniel, travelling with a bow and quiver at her back, and a well-worn sword on her hip . . .

what manner are you referring to?! what might a more mature response entail? i thought your original premise of a potentially playful nature, and i was simply playing.

hm.. I'm not sure what you could do. Most of the evil things that I could change also result in important decisions or actions that might not have happened otherwise. Examples: Boromir trying to take the ring = Frodo deciding to go to Mordor, Pippin finding the Palantir = Gandalf not looking in it, Aragorn showing himself to Sauron.
In other words, I would join FrodoFriend, Vardasoroniel, and Afro-Elf. |

What would I do?..hrmm..I'd probably get killed by something...@_@*
If I didnt get killed right of the bat I'd probably wander around all freekin confused and in want of Coke (The happy happy fizzy sugar drink, not the drug) ...and I dont do dresses (No, not EVER, I've only worn dress 2 times in my life and i was FORCED) and apparently thats all women in ME wore at the time.....so that would be another thing I'd have to deal with and would prolly push me over the edge. Dresses*shudder* ...then I would get killed by something.
