The Fellowship Slogs South

[mariole]

After descending the pathless crags of Emyn Muil with skill and terror, the party finds itself at the start of the Dead Marshes.

"This is disgusting," said Merry.

"And here's the pit where you spent the day hiding with Sam and Smeagol," Merry said excitedly. "Wanna look at it?"

"Not particularly," said Frodo.

He only has to do that in fanfic. *grins*

[mariole]

Yes, this was a holiday. A holiday in Mordor... actually, that sounds like a good name for a movie. :)

"Spiffing," said Frodo.

I don't know why, but this really cracked me up. Poor Frodo, patiently slogging along for the benefit of his fans.

[mariole]

He's such a good sport! I'm sure he didn't mean to push me into that pool...

[aprilkat]

Oops! Totally an accident!

"How about if we proceed on to Ithilien and round up some lunch?"
"That's the best news I've heard today," said Frodo. "Take the southwest road, and step on it."

Spoken like a true hobbit.

[mariole]

He is the hobbitiest of the hobbits. Well, so are we (eating-wise). ;)

Brilliant!

Is it bad that I read "And here's the pit where you spent the day hiding with Sam and Smeagol" as "And here's the pit where you spent the day hiding with Sam and shagged?

I'm sure I read at least several versions of that story. :)

Re: Brilliant!

[mariole]

Or worse, you could have read that as, "And here's the pit where you spent the day hiding with Sam and shagging Smeagol." O_o

I'm so glad you're enjoying this, WestMoon!

[mariole]

And cute! Don't forget huggably cute! :)

[claudia603]

Not so much when they're slimy with marsh goo!

[mariole]

C'mon! It's only lube.

*goes to wretch in the Dark Land*
