Who: Finwë and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Tourist
When: August 14th

[He's getting used to this and his crew mates have been more than helpful in assisting him with this new technology so the video is steady as he smiles, inclining his head as the rubies in his headdress reflecting the light around him brightly.]

Now that I've had the opportunity to acquaint myself with my new surroundings I believed it was time to greet those of you I don't share a ship with.

I am Finwë and it is a pleasure to join you all here among the stars. [No title, he assumes he forfeited that upon his death anyway.]

It seems I have been assigned the role of personnel support on my ship but any in need of a sympathetic ear or company are always welcome to come to me on the Tourist at any time.

Perhaps I could convince my grandson here to cook some treats for me to have on hand for any visitors, he always makes the best cakes.

[man, but she's seen more elves here than she has in the past few months in her own world and another combined]

Well met, Finwë. What exactly is personnel support?

(His father and his cousin had been pleasant surprises. His very life returning to him had been a pleasant surprise. But this is...

A miracle? Does that even begin to describe seeing his grandfather again?

No. Maedhros swallows, his mouth going dry.)

Grandfather?

(Video)

[twicewed]

Nelyafinwë, my precious grandson.

[All his grandchildren were precious to him but there was something special about his first. He remembered the first time the redhaired baby had been put in his arms, his first grandchild.]

I am so happy to see you once more, Nelyafinwë.

Well met.

[Elves everywhere!]

I...actually am not quite sure, actually!

[noprophecies]

[soooo many elves]

Strange. Perhaps you are meant to offer some manner of guidance?

(Video)

[castintoflames]

Are you? (He cannot meet that beloved gaze; he has no right.) Are you well...? Do you need anything? I could -

(Breathe. Breathing would be good.)

It is good to see you.

(Video)

[twicewed]

I am well. I only wish to see you.

[Something is terribly wrong, Findekáno hadn't told him anything and Finwe hadn't pressed given the fact he didn't want to ruin time with his grandson.

He saw the pain in Nelyafinwë and it hurt.]

[twicewed]

You may be correct, and that is something I have experience with at least after centuries of raising my children and grandchildren.

[noprophecies]

I would say a few centuries worth is certainly enough experience.

[ All the staring ]

Grandfather...?

[twicewed]

Canafinwe!

[Three grandsons, he feels so fortunate to have these blessings.]

Where are you?

[bythewaves]

[ Canafinwe is dead, he almost says, but he only manages to blink in surprise ]

You're here. [ He manages ]

I... I am here? That is, I am assigned to the Huntress. Should I come to you?

{Video} *sneaks tag in*

[valiantfire]

{Fingon grins, eyes bright. Grandfather loves his cakes!}

I will gladly make cakes for you and your visitors!

[twicewed]

Certainly but I can't say I am perfect. [Not after what his eldest son had done- he had made so many mistakes.]

Video

[twicewed]

I would like to see you very much.

[He aches to just hug his grandson, after everything which had happened he just wants to make sure Canafinwe is alright.]

{Video} so sneaky

[twicewed]

You are always so kind and giving, Findekáno, but do not overburden yourself. I want you to have time for your family and friends here as well.

[Finwe will always love anything Fingon will make for him.]

[ Maglor nods, almost robotically - he... well, he supposes he shouldn't be surprised, but of all his family, the only other person he least expected to show up is his grandmother ]

Alright. [ He says softly ] I will be right over.

[ And he is, and it will be very immediately obvious that he is most definitely NOT alright. He's still far too thin, and there are lines of age and care around his eyes (at least he thought to put gloves on, so as not to worry Finwe). But mostly there's something still a undefinably fragile about him, edges worn thin, as he stumbles into the airlock and hesitates before bowing to Finwe ]

Hello grandfather. [ So shy and hesitant, also, none of the careless youthful arrogance of the young prince of long ago ]

[twicewed]

Canafinwe... [Seeing his grandson broke Finwe's heart, it was obvious something wasn't right and that Maglor was suffering deeply.

He didn't hesitate to reach out then and pull Maglor into a hug, wishing that he could just take that pain and suffering away. He knew it wasn't possible, even for an Elf such as him, but he would do so in a moment if he could.]

I'm not king here, I won't have you bow.

[How interesting. This one certainly isn't human, certainly isn't Orokin, it's a bit refreshing really.]

Ordis would like to apologize for his forwardness, but he would like to inquire as to what 'personnel' entails as it is a rather broad term.

[He pauses for a moment.]

Oh. And it is traditional to welcome those who have found themselves suddenly here. So. Uh. Welcome.

.video

[twicewed]

I would have to tell Ordis that I am not actually sure myself. This is entirely knew to me. You can assure Ordis there is nothing to forgive though.

[He's a bit lost here but he'll at least be helpful however he can.]

Thank you for your kind welcome, truly.

video;

[noprophecies]

Which I would be thankful for, sir. Being perfect sounds rather boring.

[cephalon]

Oh, you've told Ordis. Ordis was merely interested because he has not seen many around with such augments. Is there something that makes them rare?

[Right to the questions, maybe not the most polite way to welcome a new face but curiosity gets the better of him.]

[Finrod really shouldn't be surprised to see the dead arrive here, considering his own situation. Even so, the sight of his grandfather leaves him stunned silent for a few moments. When he's finally gathered himself, he turns on the communicator and manages the most intelligent response ever:]

Grandfather?

[Okay, no. He can do better than that. He bows his head, as formal a gesture as he can manage over the comms.]

It is good to see you again.

[ Maglor squeaks a little in surprise, stiffening instinctively at the touch, but he forces himself to relax, trying not to worry his grandfather, and reaching up hesitantly to hug him back (it might be more of a cling) ]

Hello grandfather. Welcome to the Fleet?

video

[twicewed]

Findaráto, bright as always.

[It seemed there were several of his grandchildren present and he knew he was fortunate to have this chance.]

I have seen the others, may I come see you as well?
