[ Galadriel stands before one of the walls within the office building the Elves call their camp, smoothing long fingers across the surface to carefully blend together colors she's spent several hours applying, having grown fed up with the blandness of the constricting walls around. If they couldn't have any growing things about them, then she would

Trouble with the Shadows?

[walkinthruwalls]

I'd say 'no more so than the rest' but I haven't really spoken to many people.

I don't think they'll look elsewhere for amusement just with us asking, though.

[elvenseer]

A recent arrival, or do you merely favor solitude?

That is likely true, but if these pests believe I shall startle at their presence like a fearful elfling, they are sorely mistaken.

[walkinthruwalls]

A recent arrival.

[ Curious.com ] You're an elf?

[elvenseer]

Have you any friends with you?

Indeed. There are quite a few of us here from Middle-earth, those who are my kindred as well as those who are not. Galadriel is my name.

[walkinthruwalls]

Some, although most of the people from my world are from a different time. [ But she was making new friends :3 ]

It's nice to meet you, I'm Kitty.

Where's Middle-earth?

[elvenseer]

That seems somewhat common. The same has occurred with the folk from my realm. Tis quite curious.

Well met, Kitty. Middle-earth is the eastern continent of Arda, the world; our world. Home to Elves, Men, Dwarves and Hobbits alike, as well as other creatures uncounted, both fair and foul. Where is it that you hail from?

[walkinthruwalls]

How much of a difference?

New York. It's in America on Earth. It sounds boring in comparison to yours.

[elvenseer]

Some are but few weeks apart by the reckoning of Men, others several months.

Boring can be a preferable way of things, at times. Yes, I have heard of this America. On Earth, you say? How very interesting, the similarity of the names.

[walkinthruwalls]

Some here have fourty years difference.

Sometimes, definitely. I'd take it over being here.

[elvenseer]

Truly? That is significant indeed, in the lives of Men especially.

[ She gives Kitty a small, sympathetic smile. ] As would most of us, I think. Yet, everything happens for a purpose. We must stay strong and find out the reason behind this, too.

[walkinthruwalls]

It makes things a little weird though.

Really? I didn't think there was a reason to this.

[elvenseer]

I imagine it is so. The passage of years and the changes wrought by them are of great consequence to mortals.

Whatever the means, there is always an end; it is our task to discover that end. And we shall. It may take time and effort, and our road may grow darker ere it lightens again, but we will prevail.

[walkinthruwalls]

That actually sounds more scary than comforting. [ But being here wasn't exactly comforting as it was, so she guessed that it fit ]

What do we do?

[elvenseer]

Courage cannot exist without fear, my child.

[ The words are firm, but her expression is sympathetic. ]

What we can. Look after one another, seek answers to our questions, remain patient and watchful. Time sets things in motion; it has already begun. These new spirits I can sense are a sign of something to come, I am certain.
