Who: Sam Winchester and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A (unless you want it)
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???]

[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.

[ 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!

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.

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.

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?

Where I was from, even this... electricity is new! So everything is interesting to me.

And that much is so, I am learning. It grieves me to know all the same.

No need to feel bad on my behalf.

[3:^)]

Must make this place a pretty interesting experience for you, though.

It would seem rude not to!

[ But Maglor smiles ]

It is, yes! I wish my father and brother were here however, for Curufin and Father were craftsmen and inventors. Celebrimbor too, for that matter. This would be perfect for them.

Although in fairness, I do not know that the ship that was assigned to my father would still be in a functional state, after he was done with it initially.

[He chuckles.]

One of those types, huh? You'll have to introduce me if they ever pop up.

[ Maglor shakes his head fervently ]

I love my Father, but Feanor in full investigative mood is not something I would wish on any! Although I suppose how dangerous he would be would depend on when he was taken for he was... not very sane, by the end of his life.

Ah... I'm sorry to hear that.

Some kind of illness?

[ A soft sigh, melancholy in his eyes ]

I wish it were so simple. But no... grief, in large part, mingled with pride and anger and ... the simple greed of a craftsman whose most prized work has been stolen.

... I think that's... a sickness itself, maybe.

My dad, uh. He lost my mom and changed a lot. I mean, I don't remember him before all the anger and grief, but my brother told me he was just — different. He let it consume his life a lot.

Edited 2017-02-03 20:24 (UTC)

Maybe. But Father... Feanor was always quick to anger, and slow to change his mind. It does not change the fact that his actions that night... that all of our actions that night should never have happened. But they did, and now we all of us must live with the consequences.

Ah... forgive me, I should not heap my burdens on another. I am sorry that your story is in some ways parallel to mine. To lose one beloved is always a harsh blow, and that you never saw your father at his best is a grief.

No, no, it's alright. I like listening. And it's good to get it out, sometimes.

I got to see my father again after he died, at least. I guess that sounds kind of crazy, but, uh. Anyway. I made some peace with him at the end of everything.

That... it sounds like your world is a strange one. [ Maglor raises an eyebrow, but shrugs - strange other worlds, sometimes. ]

But I am glad. I will not see my father again until Arda ends, unless I die. So... I suppose I will never have that chance.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's hard to be away from the people you love.

Sometimes it gets to me, until I remember there are people I got to hold onto in the here and now, you know?

Thank you. [ Maglor smiles quietly ]

But I have many of my lost here, so it is not so bad as it was. I am glad you have someone to live for here.
