interfaith dinner mingle!!

[stefanged]

Who: Interfaith Center regulars & the not-so-regulars (party crashers are welcome too!!)
Broadcast: Nope
Action: Interfaith Center on the Iskaulit
When: Forward-dated to November 4th

[The Interfaith Center sounds far more bustling and busy than usual - and anyone peering inside would quickly figure out that a communal dinner is underway! Take off your shoes and walk in: the lounge has extra tablecloths on the floor as well as buffet tables with non-alcoholic beverages and all sorts of food, including Jordanian cuisine (or the outer space equivalent of Jordanian food).

The board games are out of their hiding nooks; the furniture's arranged for the maximum seating possible; and even the teddy bears donated by Kitty & Winn are out for cuddling, should anyone want them.

The kitchen's bustling with helpers - Stefan's running around at vamp-speed to make sure everything's a) done on time and b) cooked to perfection - but he sure wouldn't mind an extra hand. And if you're still not up for some food? Well, the prayer rooms are open as usual. There's always a quiet moment to be found, even if the laughter's louder and the scent of freshly-baked mansaf's wafting through the long corridors.

Anyone and everyone who's ever been inside the Interfaith Center has been invited (via text message - and Stefan even used the fancy emoji). If you're not particularly faithful or devout? Well, drop by anyways. There's more than enough food to spare.]

Well, maybe someday someone will bring British food and you can learn about it.

[Not him though. He's a bad cook]

Mm, we are! Earth's a large planet. It's all humans- but there's so many different cultures and people there. It's truly incredible.

I will ask for you, if they do. [ Maglor smiles back ] I am sure you must miss it too, after all!

It certainly sounds so! [ He agrees ] I hope to see it, one day. I suppose I will have the time, although I do not know if my world might one day be yours.

[save_the_souls]

I do, I'll admit.

[Not many British cooks out here, after all]

Eh? Why would your world be mine one day?

[bythewaves]

It is only a theory.

[ Maglor shrugs shyly ]

But my world seems to be... one of the "oldest" - or "youngest", depending on when one is standing. So it stands to reason that one day, mine might be one of the others, that some of you, might perhaps be from my future.

[save_the_souls]

I see...that's an interesting theory.

What is your world, exactly? I mean, what's it called and what is it like?

[bythewaves]

Ah... well the world itself we term "Arda", and the lands where I am most familiar with, Middle-earth. We are bordered by the Western Sea on one side, and the deserts and mountains on the other, as well as a small inland sea, and up north we stretch into the frozen wastes, and what lies beyond them I do not know.

Apart from that... I do not know how to describe it! It is a land like any other, with it's mountains and it's forests and it's peoples.

[save_the_souls]

Wow...sounds like a very vast place, even if you haven't explored all of it yet!

[bythewaves]

It is.

[ Maglor's smile is true, eyes alight with the dream that slept beneath the Oath that binds him, the urge to explore. ]

And with Sauron overthrown, finally, it is safe enough to venture further. I had thought to venture inland, pass the deserts to Khand and Harad, and perhaps beyond them, now that my family are gone.
