I was innocently–or at least, as nearly innocently–walking along the corridors of the mansion when Obi-Wan dashed by. He ducked swiftly under cover. I stared for a moment, shrugging, and went forward, minding my own business.
Certainly, the last thing I had ever expected was to be nearly run over–and actually sent flying sideways–by Legolas Thranduillion, of all people.
Of course, he was Elf through and through, meaning he shouted “Sorry Erin!” but he was focused enough on his target–Obi-Wan–that he kept on going, and he shouted it in exactly the same way he shouts “Come on Gimli!” in The Two Towers.
He didn’t even deem it of enough importance to punctuate it properly, with an actual comma, between “sorry” and “Erin.”
Insufferable Elf.
He’s also not taller than me, did I mention that? I’m just edging over him in height. Hah.
Anyways. Legolas ran off after Obi-Wan, leaving me to recover from being bowled over by a mad, berserk Elf. And this, though surprising in itself, is actually a pretty normal day in Selay’uu.
Of course, after being run over by an Elf, I was curious, so I followed–albeit at a less-breakneck speed. Obi-Wan appeared ahead, leaning around a doorway, and flung a pillow–nothing more dangerous–at Legolas, who evaded it with a neat ninja roll. I’ve done ballet for fourteen years, but even I had to envy that. Legolas dived under cover, shouting, “You are finished, Glorfindel!” (Yes, Obi-Wan is called ‘Glorfindel’ by the Elves. Something about reincarnation or something like that. Probably due to the fact that–it’s a secret of Selay’uu and you must not repeat it–Obi-Wan is half Elf himself, and bears an uncanny resemblance to the original Glorfindel, who is not present in Selay’uu since he currently resides in Valinor. Sigh. Also Obi-Wan has some sort of odd memory share thing with the original Glorfindel–it’s like a bunch of things in Lord of the Rings. It only makes sense until it is explained. After that, it sounds like baloney.)
“I doubt that!” Obi-Wan shouted back, throwing another pillow. It curved in mid-flight and managed to smack Legolas a good one. Legolas, of course, returned fire.
I love a good pillow fight, and though Legolas is awesome, when it’s him versus Obi-Wan I plead no-contest. Besides, this is the fellow who just knocked me over with scarce a word of apology. Summoning a stray pillow with my new-found Force powers, but not yet confident enough to use the Force to accelerate it into the Elf’s back, I grabbed it and flung it as hard as I could. It hit Legolas in the back of the head. He turned to stare at me in amazement, and I ran. Diving behind Obi-Wan, I grabbed another pillow and tried to Force-throw it at Legolas. I missed.
“Obi-Wan, what is this?”
“What’s it look like?” he retorted, obviously too fired up to speak in his normal almost clipped manner. “Look out Erin!” He grabbed me and shoved me down, evading a pillow from Legolas.
The other residents of Selay’uu were astonished a few moments later to see an archivist, a Jedi, and an Elven prince of the Woodland Realm of Mirkwood chasing each other through the halls, assaulting each other with pillows.
Just because we’re all technically adults, doesn’t mean we have to act it!
Ah haha, I love it! π
Glad you liked it! X-D
O____O *slack-jawed* I am so freakin’ jealous. I mean. Wow. =O
π This sort of thing happens every day.
This isn’t even counting the time Legolas got covered in spaghetti sauce and accidentally tied himself up with a string of sausages! X-P
…how. in. arda.
Don’t ask. I don’t even fully understand how it happened.
I second Bessie here. Next time you have a pillowfight with awesome people, you need to call me! Or something.
We should really start a joint blog with a bunch of people where all we do is tell a story with a roleplay! X-D
That would be ridiculously awesome. π
IKR?! π I’ve been talking the idea over with Proverbs31teen. We’re not sure if we could start it yet, but we might include other contributors. I think, too, that we should make it a first-come-first-served basis when we post the roleplay, since some people take forever to take turns, and it not being our turn is generally used as an excuse not to post/begin to write a post. π
Any chance I could join in if you decide to include others? And yes, the first-come-first-served would definitely be a good idea. I’ve been in multiplayer RPs when there are established turns and it’s annoying.
I hope so. π It all depends on if we can get it to work.
Also, if more than one person replies at a time, we can retcon things to fit together better. π
Awesome!
Very true.
π We’ll have to see what we can do. π
That’s a cool idea! I’d definitely consider it….
π I think that we’d have to agree on who was playing what character. We’d each be posting as an author, or as a character, whatever we felt like that day.
Imagine Obi-Wan and Merlin interacting with Sherlock and Kili! X-P
If this happens, Nas and Kij and I are totally up for it.
YAY! π π π
\o/
^_^
Can Erirea play next time?
I’ll ask her. But she’s been away a bit, recently. I think she went to the seashore with Siri… Siri left to get out of the Council of Selay’uu’s way–she stole an invisibility potion and went after Harry Potter. And she didn’t come right back since she knew the Council would be annoyed.
Hang it all, I’m annoyed! How dare Siri disappear and not turn up in a story to annoy Obi-Wan?
She’s currently at the seashore, since I decided to not write Battlefield of the Soul for Nanowrimo. I suppose I could ask Mrs. Whatsit to tesser her back.
Well, yes, but would she?
Yes. Even against Siri’s will, if need be. I can message Erirea and tell her what’s going on, so she doesn’t worry.
That is just simply awesome. I’d would have loved to play!
It was a lot of fun. X-D I wonder how they got into the pillow fight in the first place? π
I’m almost sure Legolas started it. Remember when he yelled at Aragorn in The Two Towers?
I don’t know… Perhaps he did. Or Obi-Wan was scolding Anakin and Anakin threw a pillow and it hit Legolas and Legolas thought Obi-Wan threw it and said, “Oh, it’s ON,” and threw it back at Obi-Wan.
That’s possible. I wonder what happened to Anakin in that case?
He probably got an official reprimand. π
Glor… oh, that Glorfindel. Yep, there are similarities. (Including in the meaning of the name hehehe)
X-P True. (I thought it was extremely appropriate. There are even parallels in the original characters’ lives!)
I don’t wanna know…
Melida/Daan. The war against Morgoth for the Silmarils. All I wanted to say.
Oh, help. (I guess this is revenge for Murdoc?)
(Not really.)
I just wanted to say that both Obi-Wan and Glorfindel each had one transgression “early” in life. Obi-Wan left the Order at Melida/Daan, and Glorfindel went back to Middle-Earth against the advice of the Valar for the war against Morgoth in Feanor’s attempt to regain the Silmarils.
