festival time!

[turgonthewise]

The summer festival has begun! Rides, snacks, and general festivities!



Melkor: *holding onto Eowyn's hand and wide-eyed at all the noise and rides* I want to do that one! No, wait, that one! Or that one!

Eowyn: *points to the carousel* Let's start here.

Melkor: mighty steeds! I want to go on the black one with wings! *getting louder*

Eowyn: Okay, you can. *amused*
( Then the horror appeared: The guy who likes her mom )

Finrod! Hey, Finrod!

woo!

[princetheoden]

Theoden: *buckling on his armour for his tour of guard duty at the festival*

Ecthelion: *sends for him*

Theoden: *comes in and salutes* sir

Ecthelion: Good afternoon.

Theoden: hello, sir. *curious look*

Ecthelion: Getting ready for the festival?

Theoden: yessir. I've got guard duty for the afternoon.

Ecthelion: I wanted to talk to you about changing your duties.

Theoden: *blinks* to what?

Ecthelion: The King has agreed that we can send human guards outside the city now, especially ones that have been with us for a long while. I'm assigning you as one of the new guards outside.

Theoden: *huge grin* really? I get to go outside, sir?

Ecthelion: *smiles* Yes. Because I trust you. *also might be good to get him away from the other Rohirrim* You'll be with mostly elven guards, but it is your chance.

Theoden: thank you! *excited little bounce on his heels* You won't regret this, sir!

Ecthelion: I don't think I shall.

Theoden: I still have festival duty today, sir?

Ecthelion: You do. This new assignment starts next week, after the festival.

Theoden: *salutes and waits to be excused, all excited*

Ecthelion: Off to the festival with you.

Theoden: *hurries off, thinking of which horse he'll be taking outside*



See that? I GET TO GO OUTSIDE

Romantic advice. Sort of.

[finrod]

Turgon: *calling Finrod's name*

Finrod: Yes?

Turgon: *grinning* Want to go to the petting zoo?

Finrod: I'm a little worried about agreeing to that. You'll probably want more pets.

Turgon: We're supervising a little girl

Finrod: *confused* A little girl?

Turgon: Eowyn and her little girl.

Finrod: Eowyn is the woman you like, isn't she?

Turgon: Mmhmm.

( So, why do you want your bff tagging along on your date? )

Meeting the new recruit

[john_npcs]

Nyellaiwe: Hey!

Nuala: *adjusting her vambraces* Oh, hello!

Nyellaiwe: welcome to the guard. I'm on your patrol shift *holds out a hand* nice to have someone else to compete with for shortest guard

Nuala: *shakes her hand* Is that something we get to hit other, tall people for bringing up?
( I should advise against that )
