Fellowship of the ringwraiths discussion thread

[Lotesse]

I think the snake's a boy, that was my original idea - part of the reason he's so smitten with Lily!

[Butterbeer]

2-1! crazy squirrel leaps up a blossoming ent-wife kinda tree (a cherry) and cartwheels ahead.

[CrazySquirrel]

He-HE!

[CrazySquirrel]

Viv, Mor asked you a question in the main tread!

[Butterbeer]

gotta go! been fun! (and a fitting tribute to Gordis)

where is she btw?

[Gordis]

Here I am, just back from my party. It seems I have missed all the fun here at the moot...

Than you, guys. I am really speechless!

All your posts were wonderful. The Anduin party will be remembered forever.

[CrazySquirrel]

Indeed, Gordie, indeed.

Hope you all are not too shocked by the ending I proposed
But I have named the Snake.

a belated CONGRATULATIONS from me as well.

Gor, did you like your earrings? They are antique from back in the day in Numenor, probably made by elves of the House of Feanor! Viv "found" them, and put them aside just 4 U! Our Viv is an accomplished cat burglar and will from time to time suddenly produce something rare/valuable, and her ringwraith friends are always mystified as to where her finds come from. (Possibilities here, huh?) Every wraith has to have their "thing" that they're known for, right you guys? She's a very accomplished secret cat burglar!
Will write it in later -

[CrazySquirrel]

Lotesse, will you tell your buddies how you spend your night or you wish to keep it private?

EarthBound, Why are you not posting anymore? I loved your humour about Frodo. If you dislike wraiths, you can tell the sad story of Galadriel's ruined 7000th begetting day party. After all, we have spirited away all the food! Perhaps beds as well, eh, Gor?? PLEASE, EB, join us again!,

[CrazySquirrel]

Look, GW, why won't you take MOR? He has become an important character, Lotesse's BEAU, so he needs someone to guide him!

Sure, I'll give it go.

[CrazySquirrel]

HEHEHE, brilliant, GW!
First I thought you have stolen my spying Snake idea, but now I see it is really fun to let our SS be a mood-breaker for all!

Thanks. And indeed.

[Gordis]

Thank you for birthday congratulations, GW.
I see you and Squirrel have not been idle!

Oh, thank you, Viv! Gor is most impressed by your gift! Sorry, she cannot thank you personally now, as (thanks to CS) she is somewhat busy.
The same applies to you, Viv, it seems...I wish you happiness with Mor.

Where are the others I wonder, TD and BB?
And EarthBound your input is very welcome!

[Gordis]

Re: the Snake.
I think it is neither a trooper-type male, nor a wanton female.
It is a juvenile baby-snake curious and merry, seeing Lily as its mommy!

[Butterbeer]

so it's 1.5 - 2.5 currently ... what will Telcontar say? Where does Grey Wolf stand? Will last child have the ultimate final say when he finally rejoins the online order?

BTW EB is away for a bit, rest of the week at least ...

Lotesse:

Nice touch.
Well Wikke of course has a few ..among them a sceret love and understanding of flowers and flora ... obviously specialising in the competetive growing of 'show' allotment vegetables ... partucularly marrow.


But i new one i'll add for him: Wikke (unbeknown to the others) (with the aid of some theatrical supplies that he secretly takes everywhere with him) .... is a master of disguise of the highest order ...skilled at voices, looks and movement!


... of course he could be deluding himself in this?

[Lotesse]

You know, gordis, that's right, SS DOES seem like a juvenile! A juvenile boy, just entering puberty!

Vivvie says Gor is MOST welcome 4 the birthday present! Our enigmatic Viv is one of those rare birds who absolutely loves to give her friends presents!

Grey Wolf, I think (and Viv thinks) that it's a SPLENdid idea for you to write Mor! Please do! And if you do, you'll definitely need her bio, so I've written here a few things for you about Vivvie, stuff that Mor could benefit from knowing.

O.K., first off, all I ask is just don't let Mor turn into some gushy-mushy drunken frat boy or false-flattery spitting, wimpo-soft wanna-be romantic who spews bad poetry and trys to open your door for you all the time even though you ask him endlessly not to... *breathe, breathe* I'm telling you, the Viv I know abhors that sort of puerile baloney.
She's attracted to unpredictability and extreme fearlessness, and she really has a thing for emotionally complex geniuses oozing fiery intensity and irrational rage - I tell ya, Feanor's truly a tough act to follow!
Not for Viv the hip ringwraith's way of fashionable sexiness, high glamour, and affable self-importance, qualities defining the lifestyles and ways of a crafty and powerful femme fatale paired with a devilishly good-looking, supremely self-adoring, evil playboy aristocrat, while stylishly lording themselves around as only the very evil elite can do.
Nor for Viv the classically sexy, cool sensuality of elegance-and-wealth so definitive of wraithdom's powerhouse politicos, those movers and shakers and players of apocalyptic grand-scale wargames.
Viv is kind of uncategorizable. Everyone else conforms to the sharp standard that the elite wraithocracy raises, but Viv is different; she doesn't like to get involved. Too much drama and responsibility for her. Her priorities focus on sneaking around by herself looking for treasures to steal and silly pranks to play.

The truth is, Viv didn't come into her wraithhood like everybody else did; she had never started out lusting for domination or absolute power. But that is a long and irrelevant story; basically she ended up getting "ringed", then subsequently fell in love with the ring's allure, and was more than happy to go on and become a Ringwraith.

Now, in the context of these two together, I envision Mor as powerfully built, radiating intensity and insanely intelligent, whose direct, no-nonsense approach really appeals to Viv. Mor takes Viv very seriously; he naturally regards her as an equal and grants her great respect, and this does not go unnoted to Viv, who can measure true power or true weakness in those around her merely by observing how they demonstrate respect. Maybe Mor sees quite a lot more in Viv than the others have ever noticed?

I've an idea that Mor&Viv's parts in our RPG might center around them hitting it off, on the real, and running with right out of the gate. I think at the party they spirit-bonded. You know, like what happens inside you whenever you first encounter your so-called soulmate, or whatever? That enormous rush inside? Anyway, they're gonna have an extremely cool, cool summer if they end up falling in love. What fun! Endless booze, die-hard friendship, sexy games and random acts of terror...ahhh, it's good to be a ringwraith...

Remember, too, that Vivvie's shy-baby tomboy-girl image is intentionally deceptive. Her forte is master thievery. Vivvie is Middle-Earth's most wanted, most sought after and highest paid free-lance cat burglar. She's held that title for more than a couple millenia. Feanor, ages ago, was no doubt playing poor Viv's heart and manipulating her emotionally, in an attempt to get her to steal him his Silmarils back, but...I digress.

Viv cuts a unique figure. She possesses a strong, natural loveliness; she's also quite petite which adds to her "baby" image. Viv downplays her femininity; her modus operandi involves a superior ability to move unseen and unnoticed, and anyway she dislikes a lot of attention.

Grey Wolf, tell your Mor to be aware of Viv's notorious outbreaks. As we all know already, Viv is cursed with a deadly irrational, hair-trigger temper, and it can surface at the most inopportune times. It's literally a force of nature, potentially devastating and unstoppable if left unchecked. Her unique capacity for apocalyptic rage outbursts are on a par with Wikkie himself, and Wikkie himself gets creeped out when she's on a rampage. Khamul the opportunistic back-stabbing blackmailer really had NO idea who he was f--king with when he tried to intimidate and bribe little Viv!

In sharp contrast to all this rage, Vivvie has a tendency to become cutely caught off guard by her own shyness, a little characteristic which compels her ringwraith family to keep calling her 'Baby Viv."

This is a long-ass post, huh? Well, Grey Wolf, at least now Mor is fully briefed on the Viv situation, and can have some idea of what he's heading into.


And - Crazy Squirrel, Gordis, Butterbeer, T D, EarthBound et al, what do you guys think, have I gotten too complicated for RPGing? Please tell me!
See, I've been thinking maybe it's a good idea to flesh out our characters in more detail for each other's informational benefit, so that,for instance, if one of us can't moot for a minute, or is sick, or on vacation or just momentarily really blocked from writing, then the rest of us will be equipped well enough to pick up the slack, maintain the momentum of the story, and if needs be, be able to safely handle each others characters in absentia.

Anyway. So, Grey Wolf; will you be Mor? Oh please oh please oh please...

Me not being a very good writer ie not particularly imaginative I don't know if I can be the kind of rpg'er you want. I've always had difficulty making up dialogue (probably comes from the fact that English is not my native language), which is essentially (not so much furthering the story as posting intelligent Morish remarks), what you're asking. But I'll give it my best shot. I promise though no more *pant, pant*-sequences.
