001: accidental voice

[onen_i_estel]

[In the freezing silence of the morgue wakes a man with a sharp inhale. Slowly. Calmly. He opens his eyes, and shuts them again when the light above blinds him with such intense light that he immediately wonders if he has somehow made his way to Aman, the Blessed Realm. Could it be that he had had succumbed to his fate while he slept?

He turns away

If you speak the language of the Elves, I cannot understand you. Do you speak the Common Tongue?

[He stared at the black rectangular object in his hand. How could this be? It must have been a ruse. Yet, whoever was speaking knew what he knew.

Calmly, he spoke back, his eyes up and searching for the person in flesh.]

Aye, I do. [beat] Why is it I can hear, yet not see you, stranger?

[voice]

[rohirrims]

The object you carry, it uses some magic to allow us to hear one another though we are not close.

Are you in need of assistance? Garments perhaps? It seems we have all entered this land in the same manner.

[He slowly turned the phone this way and that, examining all sides before looking up. It felt like a dream, a very cruel one.

But, there was something familiar in the voice that spoke back to him.

Aragorn nodded, forgetting that he could not be seen, and pulled the blanket tighter around his shoulders.]

Aye, I am in need of garments. Anything you can spare.

Try English, buddy. I hate to be that guy, but it seems most of us speak it, and no one's gonna know what you're saying if you insist on talking in gibberish.

Re: [voice]

[onen_i_estel]

[His eyes narrow down at the black device in his hand. What matter of ruse is this?]

[voice] sorry; I suck at html :C

[hung_garian]

[SIGH.]

Hello? Don't tell me we've got another technology virgin on our hands.

no worries <3!

[onen_i_estel]

[He can only assume that the term "technology" is what this particular device is called.

And he also doesn't like your tone. His own turns flat.]

I beg pardon, for where I am from we do not have items such as this.

[ifishouldreturn]

That is a question I cannot answer. [Though he did not recognise the voice, Faramir recognised the language that he spoke and replied in the same.] I am able to tell you that we are a long way from Middle-earth.

Re: [Video]

[onen_i_estel]

[These voices, they sounded much the same, but when the man's face peered at him on the small screen, Aragorn almost threw the phone down.

However he could not bring himself to do it.]

Faramir?

[ifishouldreturn]

You know me?

[Another prisoner from Middle-earth.]

To whom do I speak?

[onen_i_estel]

Aye, Faramir, it is I, Aragorn.

[forsakeimmortal]

[It takes her a moment to actually embrace this. He's here. Aragorn is here. There's a slow breath before she speaks.]

You're here.

Re: voice;

[onen_i_estel]

[He knows that voice. In his mind; in his heart..

There is a slight pause before he answers, and he grips the device with both hands. When he finally speaks, there is an uncertainty in his tone.]

Tinúviel?

voice--> video;

[forsakeimmortal]

[She can't help the laugh through the tears in her eyes. Calling her by Lùthien's name. Arwen switches on the feed.]

I am here. Where are you? It has been some time.

Re: voice--> video;

[onen_i_estel]

[He sees her, and he can't help but touch the screen as if he was caressing the side of her face]

I fear I am dreaming. [he shakes his head] I do not know of the place I am. Only that it is so dark.

[... He does not understand]

O man pedich, Arwen? You were there when I closed my eyes.

[sharkfin_soup]

Vooooiiii, no-one can understand you unless you speak some damn English!!

Re: {voice}

[onen_i_estel]

[Fine!]

Forgive me, I meant no ill respect.

{voice}

[sharkfin_soup]

{Well. He didn't expect that.}

... Damn right! Better remember it too! {And he hangs up. Because that was awkward.}
