*appears* Oh Dragon...

[shaman_x]

[...my Dragon?]

*sitting on a rock, tossing the Arkenstone from hand to hand*

[And I've just realised that being an Elf you're not going to get that reference at all.] *sighs* [My stunning wit is lost on you people.]

[elrohir_muse]

*sticks his tongue out at Mike* Now, can we get this over with, for I'd really like to get rind of this flaming evil sign I am carrying.

(ooc- damn LJ, not giving notifications for like a half hour after they are posted)

[shaman_x]

But it goes so well with your outfit. ..okay, no, I'm lying, it looks really tacky. *grins; bounces to his feet*

Hail, Smaug, the mighty! Smaug, the magnificent! Smaug, the golden tongued and burning breathed! Three times hail, oh, Dragon!

[elrohir_muse]

Isn't it overkill, master...sorry been watching human vidoes. Came across Star Wars...interesting series...

Suilad Smaug. *waves*

[shaman_x]

[Original versions, extended editions or the prequels?]

[elrohir_muse]

Um...yes...*laughs*

[shaman_x]

[Shakespeare. First chance you get. That's an order.]

[elrohir_muse]

Saw a very weird version of Romeo and Juliet. It had guns and stuff like that. Could not understand half of what they were saying

[terrible_dragon]

*He issues snakily from his cave at this thrice-hailed salute, and regards you both somewhat disdainfully, although his eye is immediately drawn to the sparkle of the jewel you carry*

So: you have brought me the Arkenstone? Let me smell it, let me taste it, to be sure it is the true stone.

[OOC: Afraid I'm going away for Wed-Fri - dang this cross-Atlantic interaction! - so if we can't do this today, apologies for the wait...]

[shaman_x]

*starts tossing the jewel from hand to hand again*

I'm a little insulted that you think I'd actually bother trying to pass off fake jewels to a dragon.

*grins, tosses the Arkenstone into the air, where it flies to hang in front of Smaug*

[terrible_dragon]

*smiles craftily*
No insult is intended, but I am no fool to take the word of another without the proof of my own senses.

*He reaches out his tongue and takes the jewel into his mouth, rolling it about like a connoisseur*

[OOC: Please could you provide a link to your adventures in getting the stone, so I can check please? Smaug can't be fooled, but I can ;) And would also love to read what you two did...]

[shaman_x]

You realise that's been in a tomb with a dead dwarf, right?

((ooc: Elrohir talked to Thranduil and then, well, adventures is stretching a bit, 'cause, um, I'm really lazy. :) ))

[terrible_dragon]

*somewhat indistinctly, around the jewel in his mouth*

Yeth, tho I can tathte; but no matter. I have eaten Dwarf, though frether than thith... ah, it hath been an age thinth I latht enjoyed thuch game...

*carefully, he spits the stone back out onto the ground, and covers it with his forepaw*

It is the stone. Very well, you have done as I demanded. You shall not find me wanting in honour. Where is the Ring which you would have me destroy?

(OOC: LOL you're not kidding! I guess you just transported to the tomb, nicked the jewel, and popped back here, right? Shame there are no dwarf muses, you could start a riot ;)

[shaman_x]

*nudges Elorhir* Elf, give the Dragon the ring.

((ooc: I presume he left a fake behind... Oooh! "on the upside, destroyed the ring, on the downside, started a dwarf war; my bad" Heh heh heh *plots*))

[elrohir_muse]

*produces the ring* Will be glad to get rid of this Valar awful trinket.

(ooc- sorry, had no idea you alls were online, was busy taking care of RL nighmares)
