When: Now!

Hey guys. Sorry to prod, but - I noticed there were some... strange readings here in communications when I was scanning the area. Blips, signatures from something out there in that nebula just beyond us. Just wondering if anyone else had been noticing those; not sure what they are, but maybe they're just... I don't know. Ships making their way out here to visit the hotel? I can't really tell much other than they're reading on the radar. Keep me updated if you get anything on that. Just in case.

For everyone else who'd rather not be technologically savvy or deal with science or concerning blips - um.

I don't know, I like to pass the time while I'm working on random crap. But what to play out... Hmm.

'Never Have I Ever' is... Nah, that's just gonna earn me dirty replies.

How about 'Would you Rather'? Always a hit in a moving vehicle that still has another eight hours on the road.

Like...



Would you rather have a nest of spiders explode above your head, or fall in a hole full of snakes?

[SAM THESE ARE TERRIBLE EXAMPLES???]

Sometimes that's the point; picking the best of the worst choices.

So, uh. Snakes or spiders?

[bythewaves]

[ ........ ]

I suppose so... um. How big are the spiders? [ Because if we are talking Mirkwood, he'll take the snakes ]

video

[collegedropout]

......

[He rubs his chin.]

I forgot, some people have the giant ones.

[He had to kill a giant spider once. It kinda sucked.]

Let's make it equal, um. How about the spiders are the size of the snakes?

Fair play.

video

[bythewaves]

Huh. So ... big but not the biggest. [ Maglor considers ]

Are they intelligent? Because if they are both large and intelligent then I will have to go with the snakes.

video

[collegedropout]

Sure, we can go with that.

Why the snakes?

video

[bythewaves]

I think I still remember how to charm snakes, but Ungoliant's get are beyond me.

video

[collegedropout]

Wait - you can charm snakes?

[He has no clue what Ungoliant is, but that's clearly less important than the concept of wooing snakes, as far as Sam's concerned.]

video

[bythewaves]

I... think so. [ Maglor says doubtfully ] I have never actually tried on snakes but it should ... probably be no harder than any other animal.

video

[collegedropout]

Well, I mean, that power in general is pretty impressive.

What animals have you used it on?

video (he mostly used it on his younger brothers & cousins lbh)

[bythewaves]

[ He laughs softly ]

Lullabies are hardly any great working!

Mm, mostly my brother's hounds, although I did once successfully manage to adapt it enough to befuddle a warg pack briefly.

video (only the most logical choice)

[collegedropout]

... 'Wargs'? Those sound like they're not pretty on the eyes.

video (most useful skill he's got tbh, putting kids to sleep)

[bythewaves]

Think of a wolf - the biggest, meanest wolf you ever saw. Now make it the size of a large pony or small horse, and make it not only intelligent, but cruel. Wolves probably were what Morgoth made them from, in the beginning, but they are far more than that, now. A wolf will hunt for food. Wargs hunt for sport.

video (bah, sam can do that too, just give him a boring book in latin)

[collegedropout]

Eugh. Sounds a lot like a hell hound.

But not invisible, and less trained on soul snatching.

video (it is the most essential skill of any older sibling)

[bythewaves]

A 'hell hound'? I do not think I would wish to fight an invisible beast! Bad enough that the wargs almost always run with the lesser orc packs.

video

[collegedropout]

Yeah, they're a royal pain. There's a method to making them visible through special eye glasses, but if you're not prepared for it you're kind of S.O.L.

video

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor cocks his head curiously ]

"S.O.L."?

video

[collegedropout]

[.......... A-ahaha.]

It's, um.... short-hand to mean you're out of luck.

Shit outta luck, actually.

video

[bythewaves]

Oh! [ Maglor laughs softly, eyes dancing ]

I see. You sound sadly familiar with that particular scenario.

video

[collegedropout]

Is it that obvious?

video

[bythewaves]

Maybe a little. [ Maglor chuckles softly ]

It sounds as if your life has been an interesting one.

video

[collegedropout]

[OH BUDDY BOY LET ME TELL YOU - ]

Eh, it's been alright.

Could've been worse, anyway. Things do seem like they like to go sideways, though.

video

[bythewaves]

[ HE WILL WRITE A SONG ABOUT YOUR LIFE... ]

I have heard it said that the road is ever full of unexpected - and often unwanted! - surprises, and I see that is true in many worlds!

video

[collegedropout]

As someone who had to drive across a lot of roads for long periods of time?

Absolutely.

... This place is kind of a nice vacation, at least. For me. I mean, crappy for a number of obvious reasons and I'd never wish it on anyone with a better home to end up here, but my set-up back home wasn't much better.

video

[bythewaves]

One day I think I would like to see the vehicles you use.

[ He murmurs ] Your worlds all sound so interesting! But I am sad to here that things were so hard for you.

video

[collegedropout]

They're definitely not as advanced as space ships, so I think you're way ahead.

But, uh, thanks. It's not so bad... I mean, every world has its problems, right?
