Where is Finrod?


Turgon: *has just sent Maeglin back to his sister for his nap and is taking a break with his puppy*

Gelgannel: *writing up the notes for the day*

Ecthelion: *to Gelgannel* Is he available, Gel?


Gelgannel: He seems to be after a human. *doesn't look up*

Ecthelion: *taken aback* What?

Gelgannel: *realizes that he should be paying way more attention to surroundings* Uh, the king's inside. I'll buzz him. *hits the intercom button* Sir, the captain of the guard is here to see you

Turgon: send him in!

Ecthelion: *still not used to that intercom, goes in* Boss

Turgon: shut the door!

Ecthelion: *does*

Idril3: *decided to make a run for it*

Idril3: *bonks into the door*

Ecthelion: Hi puppy. *pets*

Turgon: you're just going to make your face flatter, little guy

Idril3: *nuzzles Lio's hand*

Turgon: you're here too early for the usual report. What's up?

Ecthelion: I'm looking for Finrod. He didn't show up for work today. I went to his rooms, but he's not there.

Turgon: he hasn't been by here. Which is a shame, I got the best outfit to show him

Ecthelion: Hmm. So you haven't seen him?

Turgon: not a sign of him

Ecthelion: Oh. Huh.

Turgon: I'm assuming it's not his day off

Ecthelion: No. And he's usually good about letting me know if something comes up.

Turgon: *gets up, holding Idril3* That's... well, I don't like that.

Ecthelion: No. Especially after his encounter with the murderers, no.

Turgon: I'd like you to find him

Ecthelion: I think that's a good idea.

Fëanor: *meanwhile, approaches Gelgannel with a sword in his hand* I need to speak to Turukáno.

Gelgannel: Uh, what is the nature of your visit?

Gelgannel: *eyes on the sword*

Fëanor: I have a bad feeling!

Gelgannel: Ah. Well then. *hits the intercom* Sir, your uncle is here to see you

Turgon: oh lord. *hits the button* Send him in, Gel.

Gelgannel: Sir, you may enter

Fëanor: *strides in, sword in hand*

Ecthelion: *eyes*

Turgon: I'm hoping this isn't an assassination attempt. I'm having enough problems right now, and you shouldn't do it in front of the puppy

Fëanor: *scoffs* You'd be dead now if I wanted to kill you.

Ecthelion: Not comforting.

Turgon: you're such a kind uncle. Why do you have a sword?

Fëanor: It's for Finderato. I cannot find him.

Ecthelion: Join the club.

Turgon: oh, he told me you wanted to make him one. Okay. Lio, please go find my cousin. Current orders

Fëanor: I think something's wrong. The city is agitated.

Ecthelion: *oh great*

Turgon: My city's only mind is its people, and yes, they're getting upset with the murders. We're not used to that since 'the incident'. *looks at Feanor*

Fëanor: You're wrong about your city, but you're right that Finderato needs to be found right away. He's in danger.

Turgon: Lio? *in a 'I am your friend but I gave you orders' tone*

Ecthelion: *staring at Fëanor* Wait... Finrod told me you've been having these feelings about the city. Can you show us where they are strongest?

Turgon: I think we should focus more on a search party here.

Fëanor: *considers them both* Yes. Come with me. *turns on his heel and leaves*

Turgon: Or that. Go on, Lio. Do your best

Ecthelion: Boss, I will, but... maybe we should listen to him? Give us a place to start?

Turgon: I trust your judgement. *frowning*

Ecthelion: Come along with us. *follows Fëanor, stopping at the desk to tell Gelgannel to send a message to Boromir about organizing a search*

Turgon: *follows, also stopping at Gelgannel's desk but just to give him the puppy* So, what do you think of the idea of the city having feelings?

Gelgannel: yes, sirs. *looks at the dog with distaste*

Ecthelion: *shrugs* I don't know, stranger things have happened. *follows Fëanor who is striding along*

Turgon: *keeps up, will talk the 'maybe he's going insane again' when Feanor's actually out of hearing*

Fëanor: *pauses* Here. I feel the upset strongly, here.

Ecthelion: *nods* This is one of the murder scenes. *looks around*

Turgon: I'm sorry, I don't feel anything

Ecthelion: I don't either. *making notes of everything he sees, though*

Fëanor: *leads them to where each body was found in turn*

Turgon: *getting antsy, worried about his cousin*

Ecthelion: Huh. I hadn't notice this.

Turgon: noticed what?

Ecthelion: All the places where the bodies where found. They're on a straight line....

Fëanor: *stops in the King's Square* This is where I met Finderato... this is where the feeling is the strongest.

Ecthelion: *looking around, spots the rose tile, goes to peer at it*

Turgon: *crouches down to look too, touching it with his hand* I don't remember if there was any significance behind these tiles. Do you think it's relevant?

Ecthelion: There's one of these tiles at each of the body sites. And here, where he feels this the strongest....

Turgon: I really swear that the magic put into this city did not relate to living sacrifice.

Ecthelion: Hopefully not. Still. Gives us something to start looking for. *straightens up* Thanks, Fëanor. I have to get to the guardhouse. *rushes off*

Fëanor: *nods and looks at Turgon* Bad magic here, nephew.

Turgon: mnnng. Uncle, I have a request for you

Fëanor: Yes?

Turgon: would you go and help Ecthelion, if he's doing a rescue? I want Finrod back safely

Fëanor: *looks him over, then nods* I will volunteer my time.

Turgon: *relieved look* Thank you. And thank you, for helping.

Fëanor: You're welcome. We'll find him. *strides off, going to stop at his place to arm himself, and then join Ecthelion and the guards in searching*



I'm just going to sit here and stress drink a lot of tea. I hope it turns out he's just off with Celegorm or something.

And what the hell is my uncle going on about with my city?

Why would Finrod be off with me? I haven't seen him.
celegorm: (Default)

That would be horrifying for both of us.

*goes into his office to hug his shoulders and sit with him to comfort* They'll find uncle Finrod, dad, don't worry. *hughughug*
