Aure Entuluva
He hasn't been here in quite some time. Since his " death" and rebirth, he has come here less frequently, having found his home. He has been slowly regaining his memories of his life, as well.
Yet sometimes, doors open, and even the mighty are summoned to the end of all worlds.
He chuckles softly to himself as he steps through the door that will never disappear again. He walks to the bar and sits at a stool. He doesn't remember himself here, but here he is again. Things come full-circle, always.
He puts his hands on the bar and silently asks for a drink -- apricot brandy. He is surprised when she gives him also an apricot pastry with a little candle stuck in it. He laughs and blows it out.
"Happy birthday to me. Thank you, milady."
He did remember when he was born after all. And he's remembered his mother's name, and his sisters' faces, and he's remembered the pet sheep he kept as a child in Dorthonion.
And he's remembered the smell of the wind, and the shape of forever back when all it took to touch Time itself was determination and a good hiding place.
He sits at the bar, munching the pastry happily, and watches how things have grown. There are many new faces, and as he scans them all, one of them at least catches his attention. A familiarity in a stranger's poise and appearance. Himself, more than a year ago.
And I'm the one who stays.
[ooc: The mun has decided that the anniversary of the creation of Gorlim-the-character should count as his IC birthday, too. This puppet has been in his mun's brain for FOUR YEARS, which is longer than a lot of people are MARRIED nowadays. So. Come say hello. Threads may be slowtimes LIEK WO to accommodate sleep and work, but they WILL be finished, come hell or high water.
And yes, this may be Gorlim's last bar thread for quite a while. I can't bring myself to retire him, because I've never retired him from ANYWHERE, but he may revert to by-request and OOMs only from now on. His story here has largely run its course, and he has to move on and be in other places now. Which is not to say he's leaving without a word to anyone. That will be taken care of either in ensuing threads here, or in a thread later.
And as with all my threads, people I've never played with and characters Gorlim has never met are MORE than welcome to tag. :) We like to meet new people.]
