*arrives back into Gondolin much later than anticipated due to a bunch of delays getting back after her break away* *obviously heard all about the accident at the Arch and texted Egalmoth a couple of times over the weekend (but no reply?)* *whatever*
*has to head straight to work and dumps her bag in her office before going down to the breakroom to make herself the world's biggest mug of coffee and to distribute the mandatory souvenir candy that every Fountain must bring to the office after trips abroad*
*hasn't even checked her email or, indeed, seen the paper* |

[Mar. 15th, 2011|03:13 pm] |
*is in the middle of the fiscal-year-end cycle and up to his neck in paperwork*
*not to mention some staffing issues that have materialized recently (oh Ted, you were such an up-and-comer)*
*is on his way back from dropping off reports at the palace while on the phone with Elemmakil* You getting enough of that coastal air yet? |

[Feb. 1st, 2011|04:10 pm] |
*returns from down south with the Gondolin contingent, having dispatched as many Freaks of Nature eiiiuuuughheiioughhhh as they could find*
*is accompanied by one Fountain officer at less than tip-top condition*
*unlocks the door to her apartment* What have I told you about those weak ankles? |

| [ | Mood |
| |  cheerful | ] |
*has really enjoyed having Elrond, CelebrÃan and family to stay and makes every attempt to persuade Elrond that there are enough crazies in Gondolin to make it worth his while moving her (Eru, there are enough crazies in the House of the Golden Flower for that matter)*
*in spite of the failure to keep them here for ever, decides to have a barbeque towards the end of their stay, which will obviously not be on a level with the Fountain barbeque, which is coming up soon* *after some brief dithering, decides to invite Elemmakil and Egalmoth even though he's pretty certain that Elemmakil isn't talking to either him or Ecthelion as yet*
*is, of course, not doing any of the barbequing himself (these people didn't sign up for food poisoning, after all!) and contents himself with making sure that the drinks are in order as he waits for the others to join him out in the garden of the Flower*
*does wish that Erestor was (a) in the vicinity and (b) not on the outs with most of Gondolin because his absence is all the more obvious in such familiar company* |

[Jul. 20th, 2010|07:51 pm] |
*accompanies her mom around Gondolin, sightseeing*
*has maps and cell tucked in her bag and remembers a lot from last time actually really is kind of sort of positive she could make it around on her own and is totally old enough maybe except her mom seems a little quieter than usual*
*asks to stop by the Fountain to get some pictures in front of the main fountain (naturally)* |

*arrives at the Arch late one afternoon (a copy of Inside Gondolin tucked in her handbag)*
*dawdles down at the reception, waiting to find out if the Lord of the House is actually in or at work*
*nervously laughs off the crack made by the receptionist when she mentions that she (Elemmakil) really should have her own set of keys for the Arch*
*settles down on a couch in the foyer, looking visibly tired (but the work on the Flower is complete; next task is resigning from the Flower)* |

| | chipper | ] |
*having decided that everyone who has been working their arses off helping out at the Flower deserves a thank you, concocts a plan with her flatmate to have a small gathering at their flat*
*dispenses invitations by text to pretty much everyone in her phonebook (as Becky does the same) and comes to the conclusion that this will be less a small gathering and more an actual party*
*ensures that the fridge is well-stocked with booze and that she is dolled up to the nines on the evening of the party* *looks around the flat and looks at Becky* Well. We're long overdue a house-warming anyway. It may coincide with our eviction but at least it'll be a great party. |

*finds himself on the hunt for an entirely different breed of monster (and he must force himself to focus on this task alone when every fiber of his being practically screams Glorfindel and go)*
*splits up with Elemmakil at the bottom of the Fountain steps, snagging a House car in place of his own (go, Ecthelion, please go)* *and what comes next is a blur of taxis and phonecalls and green-yellow-red lights streaking overhead, and Vairë isn't anywhere in sight—*
*—until, quite suddenly and without fanfare, she is*
*is out of his car (half-pulled onto the sidewalk in his haste to park) and at the driver's window, rapping sharply and flashing his ID, before he opens the door and directs what may be interpreted as a polite smile (but only if you don't know him or him-and-Glorfindel) at the woman inside* Lady Vairë. Your presence is required. Immediately. |

[May. 7th, 2009|08:16 pm] |
*is having a pretty torrid time of it, all told, but does manage to break into Glorfindel's apartment to return the book to Vairë's room (having made a copy of it, as suggested by Becky)* *does not quite tell Ecthelion about this illegal venture but does text him a few more photos of the strange un-Glorfindelesque decor*
*goes home and gets changed, heading out to meet Egalmoth at some bar or other after his card game* *arrives a little bit early so heads up to the bar and engages in some mild flirtation with a patron (who buys her a drink) while waiting for her man to show up* |

[Apr. 26th, 2009|03:07 pm] |
*decides there is a definite upside of Boyfriend status the current relationship situation is continued and regular contact* (*and it's so much better than those weeks when he was an idiot lacked said contact*)
*as such, swings by the Flower at the end of the work day to pick up Tanya for dinner* |
|
|
| |
[Mar. 29th, 2009|04:33 pm] |
*throws himself into his work, generally being a smidge more of a diva moody around the Arch than usual*
*for Eru's sake a Harper??!?*
*after another week's productivity, has a By-laws update (including new speeding violations and updated swimming ordinances in advance of summer rec centre openings), so takes advantage of the pleasantly warming spring day to walk it off take them around himself*
*stops by the Flower just before lunch hour, intending to leave it with the afternoon secretary* |
|
|
| |
[Mar. 14th, 2009|09:24 am] |
*having returned from his information-gathering exploits out west, can now devote his attention to important matters on the homefront*
*or at least, would if he wasn't being very busy and important composing his report to Anairë, personally liaising with the Swallow to catch up on the events of the interim, scanning the newspaper hoping for any new, unsavoury turns by Penlodh that would give him something to do, and generally looking for keeping busy work*
*ends up at the second of his top five local bars for the evening, conducting market research with approaching females* |
|
|
| |
[Feb. 8th, 2009|01:45 pm] |
*has taken a few days off (much to Glorfindel's alarm) in an effort to come to terms with who she was and who she is* *visited her parents, who are wintering in South Beleriand, and has come to the conclusion that she may still be Tanya Petrova but she is mostly Elemmakil of the Fountain* *isn't sure that her parents have accepted that, though*
*returns to Gondolin and resists every instinct that tells her to spend all her time at the House of the Fountain, as she doesn't want to worry Glorfindel even more, but does spend some time with Ecthelion (which only serves to cement the knowledge that she is who Elemmakil was on Arda)*
*finally realises that there is another person she should talk to (and wonders if she should bring tranquilisers or will alcohol do the trick?)* *dresses up in a short dress and high boots and a heavy winter coat (with yellow woolly hat, of course) and sets out to arranged meeting point, a rather swanky bar* |

[Jan. 2nd, 2009|09:34 pm] |
*goes out into town to make the most of the post-Erumas sales (and to collect the present she got for Ecthelion's birthday)* *gets quickly distracted when she passes a bookstore ... oh, and that shoestore ... and her favourite camera shop ... ah, and that great department store on Royal*
*by mid-morning, has accumulated quite a large number of shopping bags and contemplates going for coffee before she goes to work (what? it's only 10.30; there's no way Glorfindel is at the Flower yet)* |

*while he waits for Pete to finish up at the party, collects his coat and makes his way out to the entrance*
*is more than a little intrigued if the evening will proceed along expected lines* |

*leaves (home?) the House of the Fountain, dressed smartly in a suit (designer) and open-necked shirt (designer)*
*makes his way (home?) to the Flower, a good hour before the official start time of the party to make sure that everything is in place: lights throughout the tent, Erumas trees in each corner of the tent, mistletoe, long trestle-tables with food and drink, an area for the DJ, a stage for the band, a dancefloor and very comfortable couches lining the wall of the tent*
*really has to hand it to Pete for putting so much work into this evening and gives her a wrapped present to thank her for all her hard work*
*is promptly rewarded with a glass of orange juice and an exhortation to stay virgin (when it comes to drink, at least) tonight* |

[Dec. 11th, 2008|08:50 pm] |
*having taken a half-day (with the boss' blessing) to talk to caterers for the Flower Erumas party*
*does a bit of shopping while she's out and finds the cutest dress and killer heels to match* *thinks, maybe, the outfit isn't quite dressy enough for the party, but is definitely worthy of a good night out*
*later in the evening, pays a visit to a particular(ly large and not charred) house* *perches on the front desk as she enquires as to whether the Lord of the House is available* |
|
|

[Nov. 29th, 2008|09:49 am] |
*leaves the Fountain, having admitted to idiocy patched things up with Ecthelion*
*with "not punching Salgant in the head" as an early Erumas present*
*slips a few tidbits from Penlodh's crash to the Daily Mail, as promised*
*finishes right up at the bar to reaffirm his manhood with a drink and an eye for the ladies crowd* |
