Theoden: *getting close to off-duty at the festival and spots Fingon* *walks up behind to cover his eyes*

Fingon: *has been wandering around a bit and is suddenly having his eyes covered* Turgie? Mae?

Theoden: guess again.

Fingon: THEO! *pleased!*
( Bonding with Fingon! He introduces me to interesting new things and we make plans for later )

Once the cats are done with Fingon, we should try and play some of the games...

finrod

Theoden: *buckling on his chestplate while Nyel lays on a bench, holding Fiddle the kitten over her head* You're just encouraging them.

Nyel: This is the most relaxing thing I've done all week. Hey, fuzzy. Hey.

Fiddle: Meeer.

Other kittens: *wrestling*

Dagnir: *curled up beside the swords*

Finrod: *passes by the armoury*

Kittens: *suddenly take out a rack of spears with a huge clatter*

( Cats, not in the cradle. )

Things seem to have settled down a bit for the time being. Enough, at least, that there's enough daylight left to take Istel for a ride through the city before visiting Lio.

princetheoden

Theo: *makes supper for Theodred* big day guarding

Dred: Oh really? How so? *and he's setting the table and stuff*

Theo: a bunch of snakes showed up and me and Nel had to spend our time pulling them out of where they were hiding

( Snake wrassling, complaining about the boss )

dagnir

In the months since last seen, Bainil has had her kittens and Dagnir has taken them under his wing to teach them to speak, spy, and stare creepily at people.

Dagnir: *walks beside Dred and Theo on their way to work, with the kittens behind him like ducklings*

Dagnir: *meowing his opinion of the day to Dred and Theo, kittens peeping behind him*

( These are guards, kittens. They walk around, mostly, and don't do much else )

princetheoden

So obviously talking to her was no good, because Nuala's a jerk. I wish I knew what the hell was getting into Dagnir about her.

Theoden: *joined by Dagnir as he storms from Nuala's shop to Feanor's forge* --and she was mocking me and I was just trying to fix things and where did that horrible letter even come from?

Dagnir:: *somehow looks shiftier* mroowl

Theoden: *knocks*

Fëanor: Come in.
( In which Feanor decides to teach me how to be a better person, which is a little weird if you think about it )

dunlending

Theo: *comes to Nuala's store*

Nuala: *drawing a design for a dress, she tenses visibly when Theo enters* Your cat's not here.

Theo: ...I came to ask if I could see the letter. *staying by the door, genuinely wary of her after the stories he grew up with*

( In which Theoden meets his tragic end at the hands of his mortal enemy. (Only not really. )

finrod

Turgon: *pays a visit to the guardhouse, listening to the sound of his guards doing... guard things, he'll have to ask Lio, and goes to let himself into Finrod's office to drop off his gift*

Finrod: *working on various things; fairly pleased with how things are coming along, all considered*

( But that's all about to change... )

This is most disturbing. I must speak to this woman and the other guards. It's clear Theoden was not entirely forthcoming. I would hate to think that there are some in the guard who might not treat all citizens equitably.

And those reports from the healers and the artificers had better come soon.

princetheoden

Dagnir: *sits with a pencil in his mouth and tries to write a love poem from Theo to Nuala*

Dagnir: *but being a cat and Dagnir, it's unspeakably weird and filthy*

Dagnir: *and messily written*

Dagnir: *delivers to Nuala*

Nuala: *takes the note and looks at it*
( This goes really poorly for Nuala )

dagnir

Is brilliant plan. I take my human for walk, lead him to the one I like! No more fire elf. More little humans. Maybe I get eat ravens?

But no, humans ruin. Stupid humans.

And stupid boss want ravens still. I need get them to him, but no want to talk. They tell everyone.

Maybe knock out, drag to him. But then maybe die? If boss could walk, then problem solve. I do all work.

My plans more important right now, sorting out life of human. Ravens can go fly into window.

Dagnir: *wanders into Nuala's store while the ravens are out*

Nuala: *eyes him but keeps on weaving*

Dagnir: *hops up onto a stool to watch her, head cocked with interest*

Nuala: *passes the shuttle between the rows of thread*

Dagnir: mrowl? *makes a show of looking around for Nuala's friends*

Nuala: The ravens aren't here now.
( Then they fight? Why? Is territory she let many in! )

princetheoden

To sum up: Murderers massacred (ew), only the captain seriously injured, Dred's fine, Dred's boyfriend is fine, my friends in the guard are fine, and I'm back exploring the city and getting paid for it.

Dagnir's been keeping me in his sights, but he's slipped off on his own little cat mission finally so it's time to go visit Feanor without fending off the fuzzy menace. He's been getting cranky whenever I go to Feanor's, I think he doesn't like the smell of the forge.

Theoden: *drops by with coffee* Your giant wall o' swords is gone, I see

Fëanor: Has been for quite a while. I gave them to the guard.

Theoden: I have been way too busy lately, then. *sits and offers Feanor a cup*

Fëanor: *takes it* Thanks. Well, murders and so on.
( Relaxing with the boyfriend is nice )

eomerson

Bonding with my family is letting me learn a lot about them that my tutor NEVER told me. Now that I know I'm not completely insane and can start loosening up here, sooo. We went out and actually had some fun. Not the kind of fun you'd think of having with your grandpa and your uncle but...

( in which there is a boy's night out )

Looks like I need to FIND that probably a girl soon, or more than one probably a girl, I'm not gonna be stingy.

Current Mood: amused

princetheoden

Going home! And now I crave those fried potato things. Thanks, Feanor.

Theoden: *packing up his armour to go home from the House of Healing after his overnight stay and heads out, glad to see sunlight again after spending all day in the sewers yesterday and all night cooped up inside*

Fingon: *making his way over to the houses, having heard Theo was hurt and wondering if he's okay or not*

Theoden: *spots him and waves, with his left arm since he went and got his right shoulder stabbed*
( I like my ex. He's nice. Also, we help out Theodred! )

You know, I don't actually interact with a lot of dwarves. I wonder if Dred has.

princetheoden

Sleeping's hard when you're wired and your arm hurts, no matter what mysterious substance Eowyn feeds you. And I don't want to pester her, so...

Theoden: *bored in bed for his overnight stay at the House of Healing*

Fëanor: *has gone home to clean himself off*

Theoden: *wonders if there's any books for him to read and gets out of bed to look around*
( OH IF ONLY MY PRINCE WOULD COME )

the_white_lady

Eowyn has been called to the House of Healing, when the guards alerted them that there were injuries. She is there with the other healers, waiting for the victims to arrive.

Laimist: *running around getting supplies*
Finrod: *comes into House of Healing ahead of Theo dragging Ecthelion*
Healers: *sorting out the injured guards*
Laimist: *brings a bed for Lio quickly*
Eowyn: *calls to Finrod and Theo* Bring him over here!

( This one isn't good... )

Eowyn: *goes back to work, tending to the injured*

theodredprince

Theo: I think she just doesn't like our cooking

Eowyn: *making Melkor set the table*

Melkor: *trying to give himself all the knives*

Eowyn: One knife per person!

Melkor: but don't I deserve a reward?

Eowyn: Knives are not a reward. I made brownies for dessert. That can be your reward.

( in which Theo and Dred have dinner with Eowyn and Melly, secrets are revealed, and then the hardworking guards get called in on a work emergency. And Dred has tamed Melkor. Huh. )

finrod

Finrod tries every spell that might corrode the metal into rust, and every spell of strength he can remember to break the chain binding him. It's only when these fail that he thinks of the basic principles of metalwork. The links and bands of steel will have seams for all their outward smoothness. He focuses on the centre chain link first, but though it grows hot enough that he can burn his fingertips if he stretches to touch the chain, the solder does not fail.

He sighs and jerks on the chain in frustration. The cuts on his neck itch. He recalls the girl's - Rae's - words.

"Strong blood makes good magic."

A shiver runs through him even as he finds the joint in the band on his left wrist. It grows red-hot, but he concentrates hard enough to ignore the worst of the pain, even as blood begins to trickle over the metal. He can feel the metal give, bends it on the rung of the chair just enough to work his hand free...

From there it's easy enough to snap the length of chain that had linked his wrists together, and he throws the broken band into the water as soon as he gets out of the room. He can't ignore his wounds indefinitely, and a hot, sick feeling courses through him. Still, he keeps his footsteps silent.

_{So, from here we'll play in comments for the rescue party arriving and ensuing chaos!}

boromir_of_gondor

Nyel, Theo and I searched for Finrod in the city sewers and got a bit more than we expected.

Theo: *wishing he had more waterproof boots as he straps on his armour*

Boromir: *pulls on his armor and his pair of already ruined boots* No used in ruining a second pair, right?

Theo: just pull me out if I fall into the sewage

( How about *not* falling into the sewage? )

second_time_around

I need to listen to the city again...

Theoden: *finishing up his patrol and sewer guarding, not enjoying these extra shifts at all*
Fëanor: *walking around the city; pausing at various spots to look around*
Theoden: *notices some familiar bodylanguage in front of him and follows behind to give (hopefully) Fëanor a surprise*
Fëanor: *crouching low to study some tiles*
Theoden: boo
Fëanor: *disappointingly, doesn't even flinch* Hello Theo. *straightens and turns*

( Not really looking at anything! )

I will get back to my walk later.

princetheoden

Theoden: *lets himself in with coffee* Feanor?
Fëanor: *staring at an item on his work table* Yes? Oh, hello, Theo.
Theoden: would you like to go out today?
Fëanor: You know, I think that's a good idea.
( I showed him the murder tree. He was impressed )

I'm fairly sure he's not going to dissect me now.

theodredprince

The truth came out when we met Elfwine and well, stuff’s been kind of weird since then. Theo isn’t as upset as I figured he’d be, but I still feel, well, pretty bad about the whole thing I guess. I didn’t know what to do about tellng him. I guess it’s better it’s out now anyway?

( In which Dred avoids answering questions about his mom, the scarlet pimpernel lives in middle earth? And the ravens are discussed. )

So, off to find the two ravens of the apocalypse then.
