Call it ambition. Call it boredom. Call it only the last 150 posts. Call it me hoping our wonderful editor doesn't have my head for this. But whatever you call it, you bloody well better call it a freaking news post.
*AHEM*
Maedhros, one of about a billion new puppets, learns Kinslaying doesn't exactly shine the ladies on. Of course, he's not particularly interested in the ladies, but that's besides the point.
Amarië laments spending the night with Maedhros. Carcharoth, former wolf servant of Morgoth, returns to Arda as a kitten. He is quickly snuggled, petted and claimed as pet by Hanild, once again proving that a pretty face and blond hair do not a genius make.
Hani visits Luthien, who had a baby recently by the way. Also, reveling in recent kitten-acquiring occurs.
Carcharoth, henceforth Charo, annoys Gorlim. A fun sport to be enjoyed by all.
Theodred, or Dred as he prefers, of the non drain-cleaner drinking variety, chats with Gorlim and meets his father. Plans to torture Eomer are discussed. With Gorlim, though we wouldn't put it past Theoden either.
Mithrhovan makes some suspicious deliveries. Isengar tries to convince Smeagol to come home. Kitten-napping is also afoot.
The Dunedain occupy themselves. But not by looking for Aragorn, oh no.
Charo decides to woo Gorlim's dog, Mandy. Mith decides Charo is food.
Gorlim does a lot. Eomer chatting, singing to Dred, Mandy gets wooed. It's a busy post all 'round.
Noro, who's back, gives Hani a manicure. Girl talk and stuff ensues.
Halbarad is stalked by Mandy and chats with Gorlim. Merry, yes MERRY, tells us why he reappeared...only to disappear again. But he's got a good reason.
Charo is in love. And they called it puppy love...that would be so much better if it had been sung by Manilow >.>
Tarannon has seen The Movie. And he's not happy about this. This is not newsworthy. What is newsworthy, is that he re-adopts Noro AND calls her pumpkin in the process. Hah.
A cocooned Guppy, one of them green-elf-baby thingies, starts to move. Silinde revels in Eluil's new form. Parfait makes it's new appearance known as well.
Melian I, who's also made a comeback, threatens to rid herself of boredom. Eomer seems only slightly worried.
Charo advises Hani of his captured status. It is determined that he doesn't really mind, which, given the puppet he's aligned himself with, is probably a good thing.
Gwindor shops. And aNgStS.
Halbarad and Luthien discover puppies. Anyone else noticed there's a lot of furry things running around lately?
Firiel and Gorlim have a chat about fun things like being lonely. But there's also Erumas talk, so that's ok.
Hani celebrates Gram's six-month birthday. And seems less than worried about Charo's incarceration.
It's Erumas!!! And many, many people do the Erumas-gift giving thing:
Dred,
Charo,
Arvedui, our new
Legolas,
Gorlim,
Hanild,
Halbarad,
Frealaf,
Menelsul,
Gwindor,
Vanthene,
Luthien,
Melian I,
Jade,
Ulalume and
Norolinde, though she's a bit late.
Somewhere within all that Erumas spirit, this happens:
Isengar and Melba discuss Smeagol. Sauron is more than a little miffed with the ending of The Movie. And really, who can blame him?
Eowyn makes sure we all know what really happened. Theoden bakes cookies, turns ferret and gets ferret-napped by Vanthene. Merry Erumas, Theo.
You know, Bingo sums things up so much better than I ever could. Halbarad explains the puppy situation to Nadiyah. And also reveals his plans to head North.
Isengar and Tiger have a good time. Eomer points us in the direction of something some of us may or may not know about. Well, we do now.
Ancalagon serves up some hypocrite pie. Sin gets a present from Jade and visits Merin. And, I imagine, puts said present to good use.
Eomer gives Luthy a special gift. Awwwwww.
Noro and Namuras discuss the twins. And then have sex, we think.
Merry is late with his gifts. But PIPPIN returns, so like, that makes up for it.
Vanthene has fun torturing small, furry animals. Of the kitten and ferret variety.
Hani walks in the snow. And misses home.
Eru makes a bit of a mistake. But he's Eru! So there are no mistakes! ...he now returns us to our regularly scheduled colours.
Arathorn laments the life of a puppet not on the "A" list. Laiqalasse recounts Erumas with the troupe. Also, next play January 9. Mark your calendars, folks.
Eluil whines and wants to go shopping. Yep. Definitely Rumil's kid.
Theo is trapped. So he does what any ferret would: Sings and wishes for worms.
Jim is gay. And apparently frustrated, though how you can be gay and frustrated in THIS game is beyond me.
Vanthene gets friendly with Hani. Isengar and Tiger: The Morning After. Halbarad gathers his men and heads North. Faramir III dreams. And has Ramen with Nienna. But that's not the dream, that really happens.
Vidumavi is a happy domestic. Lokiel gets snuggled by Nieliqui. Morwen is content. Uruviel returns to be with Jade. Jade gives birth. O.o No, wait. O.o Ah, much better.
Arwen is not updating. The Elronds don't make an appearance, either. *SQUEE*
Ully gets an accidental haircut. Theo laments, is taunted by Vanthene and escapes. Bingo makes a mandate. Charo helps Hani find Theo. ;) Nieliqui is determined to ring in the New Year. Just like a big girl.
Dred taunts us by mentioning secret logs. And makes some resolutions.
Mouth makes a suspicious discovery. Jade is a happy mom. New Year's greetings from a drunken werewolf. Nieliqui doesn't quite make it. But it's all Gorlim's fault.
Isengar sings. Noro tries the manicure route one more time. And gets saddled with a nervous elf for her trouble.
Gorlim's shortens it up for us. Also, mentions something about Dred's secret log and narrowly escapes insulting Hani.
THE SECRET LOGS:
Dred and Gorlim have tea,
discuss love and share a kiss,
sword lessons and admissions of love and finally
music lessons and more lovey-dovey stuff. Norolinde declares herself a lesbian. Interested applicants, apply within.
Haldir heads Gondor-wards. Dred loves Gorlim! Gorlim loves Dred! Theoden is horrified!
Seven takes Noro under her wing. This has angst written all over it.
Linithil, Luthy's little sister, has her own journal. Legolas gets a puppy for Erumas. Eomer is a little behind the times. He also notices a lack of...well, people.
Theo is Not Impressed. Firiel once again has fun with a vampire. Injuries, blood, libraries. You know, basic Minas Tirith stuff.
Frey will torment Dred later. There's been a LOT happening in the lab. Erendis, evil thing that she is, only skims the surface.
Aeglos heads to Rohan, where he feels he just might be useful. Hild agrees, and Wenny and Evie have a tearful reunion of sorts.
Meadhros is grumpy. Grumpy Noldor. Grumpy Feanorian Noldor. *runs*
Hani sits in the library. Isengar and Tiger: The Morning After Continued. Theoden is still Not Impressed. But is easily distracted.
The lj-cut in this really says it all. Six narrowly escapes more punishment from Este. Gorlim tells Eomer about him and Dred. Eomer is a tad surprised.
Arwen takes back Evie. W00t.
