This will not do! This will not do at all! Melkor will not tolerate this! This is too far!
Gigi: *knocks on Eowyn's door, bouncing a bit*
Melkor: *building a couch Barad*
Eowyn: *answers the door* Hello.
Gigi: Hello! Are you still looking for a babysitter?
Eowyn: *smiles* Yes. Are you interested in the job?
Gigi: Yes, yes I am. *smiles back* I'm Gil-galad, or Ereinion, whichever you prefer.
Eowyn: *recognizes the name! But does not reveal that* I am Eowyn. Nice to meet you. And which do you prefer?
Gigi: Ereinion. *grins*
Eowyn: Ereinion. Nice to meet you. Please come in.
Gigi: *goes in, looking around a bit*
Melkor: *organizing his toys in battle positions*
Eowyn: Come, sit down. *leads him to a chair*
Gigi: *sits and looks up at her* So what are you looking for?
Eowyn: I'm looking for a babysitter, for my little girl. In the afternoons. I'd like to have someone come after lunch and stay until dinner.
Gigi: Hm. Would you mind if I brought my work with me?
Eowyn: No. There will be times when she plays by herself, or with her friend, so that will be fine. However, I'd like it if you were willing to do some reading with her.
Gigi: What sort of reading?
Eowyn: Stories, that kind of thing.
Gigi: okay. What's she like?
Eowyn: *lowers her voice* She's a little.... troubled. I found her wandering the streets of Gondolin, by herself. I think there's been some trauma in her past - she's fixated on Melkor, and pretends that she -is- him.
Gigi: ...oh. O.o That's a little odd.
Eowyn: It -is- odd, I know. I'll need someone with a great deal of patience, and a good sense of humor.
Gigi: I have a good sense of humor and patience!
Eowyn: *smiles* And you are okay with working afternoons?
Melkor: *wanders in looking for snacks for him and his minions*
Gigi: Yes! Well, I mean, I should ask my ada, but he'll probably say yes. *grins*
Eowyn: *smiles* Oh, of course. I will meet him, if he would like.
Gigi: Great! *sees Melkor and nods to him* You must be... *glances at Eowyn* I'm sorry, I didn't catch her name.
Eowyn: Melly.
Gigi: *nods, smiling* Hi, Melly. I'm Ereinion
Melkor: o.o *starey face*
Eowyn: Melly, say hello. Remember we talked about a babysitter?
Gigi: *smiles at her*
Melkor: *being overriden by the little girl part of him* *goes red and darts behind Eowyn's leg*
Gigi: *slightly amused and nods to Eowyn* Well, you didn't mention she was shy.
Eowyn: She's not always. *to Melkor* Would you like to play with Ereinion?
Melkor: ...
Eowyn: He'll be staying with you in the afternoons, and playing with you. And taking you to play with Wynnie and Sexburg.
Gigi: ...hm. Is that her way of saying she doesn't like me? *raises an eyebrow and looks to Eowyn*
Melkor: *still staring at his face*
Eowyn: *doesn't think so* No, she'd usually tell you right out. *to Melkor* Say hello.
Melkor: *small voice* 'lo
Gigi: *pleased smile* Good! Glad to meet you. *holds out his hand to shake with Melly*
Melkor: *just stare at it, then goes back around Eowyn's leg*
Gigi: ...hm. Well, perhaps you'll loosen up more once I start babysitting.
Eowyn: This is SO unlike her, I'm sorry.
Gigi: it's okay! Sometimes kids are shy around new people.
Eowyn: Maybe I'll leave you alone for a few moments?
Gigi: Sure.
Eowyn: *to Melkor* Try to get to know him, okay, sweetie? I'll just be in the next room for a few minutes. *leaves*
Melkor: *deer in headlights*
Gigi: *pats the seat next to him* Sit down. I won't bite you. *smiling*
Melkor: ...mnggg
Gigi: So. What's got you nervous?
Melkor: ...bow before Melkor
Gigi: *raises an eyebrow* You think you're Melkor, eh?
Melkor: I do not 'think'. It is a fact that I am.
Gigi: *chuckles* All right. Well, how did you come to be in Gondolin?
Melkor: I was forced into this body as a punishment. I will overcome it.
Gigi: Hm. *smiles* So who is this friend you visit with?
Melkor: and with the knowledge of your secret city, I will crush you all. *eyes Gii and blushes* Or take prisoners. Um
Melkor: she is my minion Theodwyn
Gigi: Does she live nearby?
Melkor: *just goes silent again, thinking about the prisoner thing*
Gigi: *eyes her for a moment, then leans in close* Melly?
Melkor: o.o *bright red*
Melkor: *flees the room*
Gigi: ...uh.
Eowyn: *looks back in* What happened?
Gigi: She talked about being Melkor and crushing us all, or taking prisoners, and then she ran off. O.o
Eowyn: Mmm. Pretty much that's usual, except for the running off.
Gigi: Okay. well, it's good I got a taste of it.
Eowyn: You're still up for it? *smiles*
Gigi: Yes! I'd like to.
Eowyn: Very well. I'd like to have you then.
Gigi: *grins* Great! When should I start?
Eowyn: Do you need to talk to your father first?
Gigi: >.> I can talk to him tonight.
Eowyn: *smiles* Will he need to meet me?
Gigi: Possibly. You could come with me, if you want to just get that over with
Gigi: Would you like to go with me right now? Melly can come, too
Eowyn: Yes, that should be fine. *calls* Melly, come out!
Melkor: *calls back* Is he still here?
Eowyn: Yes. Come out now!
Melkor: I'll think about it, mortal!
Gigi: *amused*
Eowyn: I am counting to five.... 1....
Melkor: *wraith shriek*
Eowyn: 2...3....
Gigi: Oh Eru, was that her?
Melkor: I AM NOT COMING BACK OUT
Eowyn: *shrugs* Sorry. *to Melkor* 4....
Melkor: *slams his door*
Eowyn: NOW.
Gigi: *waits, watching Eowyn's face*
Melkor: *burrows under his bed* They will no longer make a fool of me
Eowyn: 5. Alright, I'm coming in.
Melkor: *goes still*
Eowyn: *goes into Melkor's room* Come out from under that bed. What's wrong?
Melkor: He's using elf tricks on me!
Eowyn: *does not laugh* He's not doing anything of the sort. Come on, now. We're going to meet his father.
Melkor: I'm not ready! No!
Eowyn: What? Why?
Melkor: I don't want to *petulant tone* Let me stay here
Gigi: *knocks on Melkor's door and pokes his head in* Is everything okay? Should we postpone this?
Eowyn: Come on, I'll be there.
Melkor: *frozen and red again*
Eowyn: *picks Melkor up* Come ON.
Gigi: Is she okay, miss Eowyn?
Melkor: *tries playing dead*
Eowyn: Gah. I don't know what the problem is. Let's go, though. Hopefully she'll come around.
Gigi: *nods and leads her to his home* ...ADA! We have company!
Artaher: Ereinion? Who?
Eowyn: *sets Melkor on her feet and whispers* Behave!
Melkor: *sits on the floor and refuses to move*
Gigi: *leads Eowyn and Melly to Artaher* This is miss Eowyn and Melly. I went to their house to apply for the babysitting job miss Eowyn set out. >.> Is it okay for me to do it?
Artaher: Hello. *introduces self*
Eowyn: *exasperated at Melly, but smiles* Hello, nice to meet you.
Melkor: Aren't I not supposed to be kept from elves?
Eowyn: HUSH.
Artaher: You as well. *offers a hand*
Artaher: *to Gigi, kiddingly* Sure you can handle her?
Gigi: I can! *grins, acknowledging the joke*
Eowyn: *smiles* She can be a handful
Gigi: I can do it, ada.
Eowyn: I'll pay him a fair wage. And it will just be afternoons.
Artaher: *smiles; to Eowyn* If you think it's fine, then *to both* I'm alright with it.
Gigi: Yes! *grins* Thanks, ada!
Eowyn: *smiles* Thank you.
Artaher: You're welcome. *smiles*
Melkor: *flops back onto his back* are we done yet?
Artaher: *amused by her*
Eowyn: *embarrassed* I apologize.
Gigi: *sits down next to her* So. Are you okay with it?
Artaher: No need!
Eowyn: I don't know what's gotten into her.
Melkor: o.o *starry eyes at Gigi*
Gigi: *glances up at Eowyn* you said she's not usually like this? *pats Melly's shoulder*
Artaher: *shrugs* Kids.
Artaher: *amused and impressed with Gigi*
Eowyn: *nods agreeing with Arta*
Melkor: *up like a shot at being touched and by Eowyn's leg again*
Gigi: ...hm. We will have to spend some time getting to know each other, I think. *chuckles*
Eowyn: *sighs* Yes, I think so. Can you start tomorrow? No time like the present, I suppose.
Artaher: *to Eowyn* I think they'll be fine.
Gigi: Sure. *looks up at Artaher* Is that okay, ada?
Melkor: mng
Artaher: *nods*
Eowyn: *smiles* Excellent.
Gigi: Great! *smiles also* Around what time?
Eowyn: Come by after lunch? I'll stay for a bit and then you two can get to know each other.
Gigi: Sounds good. See you tomorrow!
Artaher: It was nice meeting you.
Eowyn: See you then! *to Arta* It was nice to meet you as well.
Artaher: *nods*
Eowyn: *takes Melkor's hand* Come along, Melly.
Melkor: *trails along behind* I don't need a babysitter, mortal
Eowyn: Indeed you do.
Melkor: I'm an ancient god!
Eowyn: Ancient god, little girl, you need someone to watch you.
Artaher: *shakes head, amused, as the walk away*
Gigi: *grins* This looks like it'll be fun.
Artaher: *chuckles* I'm glad you think so.
Artaher: You ready for this? *grins*
Gigi: Yes. And look, I'll be more responsible!
Artaher: *laughs* Yes.
Gigi: *grins, excited*
