[Mar. 21st, 2011|12:33 am] aurvandil [ Tags | @gondolin:palace, celeborn, earendil ] [ Mood | curious ] *Hears tell of a new resident in the palace.* *Goes to his classroom and rakes around in the craft cupboard until he finds what he's looking for: a crudely made, white cloth hat bearing the letters "F A C T S," crafted from fuzzy-felt and glued on haphazardly.* *Dons this hat and goes to investigate.* Link 26 comments|Leave a comment

[Mar. 16th, 2011|11:21 am] celeborn [ Tags | &ecthelion&estella, @gondolin, celeborn, ecthelion, estella ] [ Mood | optimistic ] *hightails it over to a dinky record store after he calls around and ascertains that they have a used copy of Noldorin for Dummies, Vol. 3 (you'd think a title like that would be more common in such a multilingual city)* *takes a minute or two to chat with the cute punk girl working the register and impress her with details of his new job* Yeah, I was thinking of stopping by the House of the Fountain next. It's just up the street, right? *grins* Do you know anything about this Ecthelion guy, other than that he cuddles up to guitars on billboards? *doesn't quite know what to make of it when the girl falls completely silent, immediately turning back to a pile of CDs she was sorting after she wraps up his purchase* Link 63 comments|Leave a comment

[Mar. 1st, 2011|10:50 pm] glaurfindel [ Tags | &ecthelion&glorfindel, @gondolin:flower, celeborn, ecthelion, glorfindel ] *is going through some of his letters over breakfast: yes, it's a weekday and he's actually out of bed for breakfast with his husband; he mightn't be out of the house or, indeed, fully-clothed but he's up, damnit!* *chewing on a pancake, gestures at a memo from the Palace* Hm, see that Celeborn is in residence. That's interesting. *looks up at his husband, a bright smile on his face* I know my House does the tourism part but I'm going to assume that our Fearless Leader has chosen you to show the young man about. *rather amused* I think you're officially the Face of Gondolin now? [edit] *following a successful morning meeting, finishing up the last of the Special Ops debriefs, is informed that his 11.15am appointment is here* *glances at the clock, figuring that, whoever it is, there should still be plenty of time to get to the Fountain for noon cupcakes (and, for once, that isn't a euphemism)* Link 28 comments|Leave a comment

[Feb. 22nd, 2011|09:01 pm] eluchil [ Tags | &celeborn&dior, @menegroth, celeborn, dior ] [ Mood | blah ] *can't quite believe Celeborn is skipping town so soon* *really can't believe Cel is skipping town to go to Gondolin to learn official ambassador-ing from the Noldor* *it breaks his head a little to even think those words in that order* *drags himself out of bed way, way too early to meet his cousin at the train station* *is appalled by the security measures this simple jaunt will require, but in the end, decides he would much rather feel like a moron mildly inconvenience a few travelers than let Cel go without saying goodbye* *is not a girl, shut up it's been a rough month* Link 15 comments|Leave a comment

[Feb. 12th, 2011|03:23 am] celeborn [ Tags | @menegroth:mpd, @menegroth:palace, beleg, celeborn, melian ] [ Mood | sad ] *receives word that his great-aunt wants to see him* *doesn't think to be weirded out by this right away, seeing as the message came through his cousin (his cousin, the king? wt-effing-f?) and not through any sort of scary formal channels unless his cousin, the king counts as a formal channel now, did he mention wtf?* *has not, however, managed to throw off the utter depression during the aftermath, which is made a hundred times worse by the need to support his grandfather (who is possibly even more depressed than he is)* *still, puts on as brave a face as he can muster as he makes his way up to his uncle's office and is shown in* *...his aunt's office* [Edit] *makes his way down to Beleg's precinct station and asks to see the Chief Marchwarden* Link 32 comments|Leave a comment

Something inane about the power being out?* *is weirdly grateful for Túrin, in some crystal clear thought, for making her used to this form of transport* *gets out her phone and breaks into a run* *firstly, calls Haleth and Mablung, ordering them to the Palace instantly (she trusts no one else with this task) and telling Mablung to bring Arandur with him* *arrives at the quarters of Beren and Lúthien and pounds on the door as she lets herself in and realises (heartbroken) that she will have to tell them why she is here* [edit] *having ensure the safety of the Royal Family, immediately seeks out Melian, and when she presents herself before the Queen (Regent?), she bows her head, pale and resolute* Link 105 comments|Leave a comment

PROTECT YOUR QB, YOU PORKY SONS OF BITCHES! *looks down at the woman sitting on the bleacher seat directly below him, who whirls around with a ferocious glare and covers her young son's ears* WHAT.

I'm gonna put you in a cab. Go straight to the hotel. Don't get in any trouble. Don't talk to anybody. And for fuck's sake, don't call Mír. I'll track him down and tell him where you are.
