Yeah, I'm writing a fic called "The Adventures of Trotter the Hobbit-Ranger" (current favorite project). It's posted on fanfiction.net. I've had writer's block lately and haven't added anything, but maybe I can get up a new chapter tonight.

Thanks, Nariel. Oh, and I just told my friend that it's omentielvo! I'll have to correct that tomorrow. . .darn.
222, nice number, huh? (kinda like 111. . .)

Hey, maybe we should stick to the subject, here. Not that I have an objection to this debate, I just think it would be sad if an adminstrator closed this thread for being off-subject. . .

*Morauko rides up to the company on her black horse*
I have returned, my friends. I am afraid that I needed to visit my dear homeland of Mordor and check whether it is being cared for. To my great happiness, the area is being protected by the descendants of Eowyn and Faramir. Sadly, I neglected to visit the ford of Bruinen at which we fell to the power of Elrond back in the 3rd age, and to visit Elrond and his children. Nevertheless, I am here now. Where now are we taking this poor woman?

Eruviel: Um, Mordor, I think. . .we need to destroy this object which has caused strife among our company, oh Nazgul. I do not know for certain. Would somebody kindly tell me where the phone must be destroyed?

My old copy of FotR says omentilmo, but my newer copy says omentielvo.

ask someone who knows quenya
Irid nods with her head to the woman. 'Didn't the woman know where it was made? Oh and don't we need a wizard so he can fall in the abyss or something? Just an idea...'

Eruviel: Sorry, Irid, the wizards have all returned to Valinor. But maybe we could find someone else to fall into an abyss. Then he can reapper later wearing different colors! Any volunteers?
*The rest of the company glares at Eruviel* Eruviel: Okay, didn't think so! Hey! Counselor! Where was the phone made? Tanoliel: Look on the back! Eruviel *dashes to the pony and grabs the phone before FF, Tano and anyone else can reach it* It says. . .the words are strange to me, and the script, but I recall learning it long ago. . .It says, "Made in China."

In my Quenya course and books (new addition) it says omentielvo.
Anyway... mustn't get offtopic. (everyone is squabbling over the phone) Elf Girl: I say the good lady may take the phone- Counselor: (grins) Elf Girl: But, if she takes it out of her saddlebag... (hands drift ominously to bow) FrodoFriend: not again! Elf Girl: all right, all right. (removes ominously drifting hands) Counselor: I told you I can't ride! Morauko: (grins) Oh, you'll get the hang of it. Elf Girl: (places phone in a saddlebag on a horse of Elrond's) May we take this horse for the lady? Elrond: Sure! Name it! Just get out of here! (under his breath) Why oh why didn't I go west? markedel: (grabs counselor and puts her on horse) (all non-elves get horses, mount, and ride off. Elves follow on foot) Laurelyn: And so the fellowship of the strange plastic object with buttons on it sets out.

*Eärniel looked at the road ahead. *
Eärniel: No bloody way I'm gonna walk all the way there, where ever this evil land of China lies... *she looks at the pony, a grin spreads on her face. The pony who was relieved to be freed from the angry stares of the TLA (and from wearing the evil mobile) started to feel again very uncomfortable seeing Eärniel's grin. It pondered on bolting but then decided against it. Those horses were much faster and THEY didn't have to carry all that food, the pony thought annoyed. He looked at Eärniel again, the grin was still there. You could see her mind working he thought. Oh no, she comes closer!* Eärniel: *honey voice*Nice pony, sweet pony. My, my don't you look strong... *the pony looked panicky.* Eärniel: Now you wouldn't mind would you? *the pony closed it eyes and started praying to the Great God of Horses. The next second Eärniel had seated her before the giant pack of food.* Eärniel: Mmmm, very confy, next to the food.... Eruviel: No snacking! Eärniel: Oh darn, never can have any fun... |

Nariel tries hard to keep from laughing as the others argue about such trivial things... but now they are on their way to China.
Nariel: I believe I know where this China lies. I have been there before. WE must travel far west until we reach the sea. Then we must cross the sea. It shall be a long journey.

Eruviel: You mean we're going West? But I wasn't quite ready to go West yet-
Nariel: Uh, no, not that West. West from the sea called the "pacific ocean," I believe. Eruviel: oh. Well, let's go then! *starts walking faster and more purposefully.*

Don't worry about it, Eruviel! But you have a good point, where IS the TLA actually? If we don't know that how are we ever going to get to China? Aarg! I'm lost! Guide please...

oh come on people! Don't let this thread die that easily! If you're tired of it, let just finish it properly. I can't stand unfinished business. (that last part should probably be in the venting thread)
please?
