Without really thinking, reaches into the box, takes out a pinch and snorts it.* *Very quickly realises that the pinch was rather larger than is advisable, then remembers that she's never, ever had snuff before so what the hell possessed her to -* *Sneezes.* *And again.* *And again.* *Puts a hand up to her nose and it comes away red. Rummages in her bags to see if she bought any tissues and no, of course she didn't.* Link 66 comments|Leave a comment

The house has been so many colors over the years—every room is different, how do I know which one she likes the best? Link 42 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

[Jan. 21st, 2011|08:40 pm] erest0r [ Tags | &erestor&thranduil, @gondolin, erestor, joy, thranduil ] *applied at a few different places around town, but was oddly relieved when his old stomping grounds took the bait (familiar grounds, at least)* *one long phone interview and a face-to-face with an HR director later, is once again a senior financial analyst with Sunrise Capital Group* *heads up to Sunrise's bright corporate skyscraper on his first day back, tie in place and briefcase in hand* *can't help a warm rush of nostalgia, despite the cold wind and the tiny hollow lodged in the pit of his stomach; SCG was his first job away from home, his day-definer for the first two years he lived in this world's Ondolindë* *introduces himself at the front desk and is directed to the seventeenth floor* *boards the elevator with a handful of sharp-suited folks he doesn't know, none of whom seem to know each other, either, beyond a greeting nod (and it may be down to the buttons they press: fourth floor, seventh floor, twenty-first floor)* *sighs inwardly and straightens his tie (game day, Erestor)* Link 34 comments|Leave a comment

[Jan. 10th, 2011|11:23 am] estellabolger [ Tags | &ecthelion&estella, &erestor&estella, @gondolin:fountain, ecthelion, erestor, estella ] *flits about her closet office in the early-ish afternoon, humming her favorite tracks from the charity CD her boss got suckered into* *not that he's said "suckered", per se, but Salgant was involved; ergo, suckered* *never mind that her favorite tracks include a tie between Ecthelion's duet (with omfg Phoebe LaFleur) and Salgant's very pretty acoustic solo* *gathers the morning's To-Copy stack and heads out, figuring she'll kill some time with whoever's hanging about the copy room before she heads to lunch* *on her way past Ecthelion's door, knocks lightly on the jamb and pokes her head in* Sir?

[Nov. 21st, 2010|09:02 pm] queenmelian [ Tags | @menegroth, erestor, melian ] *has consulted with her great-nephew about proper football game attire, and his advice seems to boil down to three tenets: a) dress warm; b) don't wear the opposing team's colors; and c) wear Bobcat colors if possible!* *researches said colors and, thus informed, sets out to shop for winter-appropriate garb in maroon and gold* *is determined to support her darling grandbaby, even if he's determined to bash his darling head in* *meanders through one of the upscale shopping districts, chatting to her daughter on the mobile as she window-shops* *was concerned to hear that Mír was apparently ill for a day or so, but Lúthien assures her that that seems to have passed* *does not especially like reminders of her family's mortality* Link 30 comments|Leave a comment

I was starting to get jealous of the zen paradise that is Lórell Inn. Link 28 comments|Leave a comment

[Nov. 1st, 2010|08:45 pm] erest0r [ Tags | &celebrian&erestor, @menegroth, celebrian, erestor ] *after days and days of creeping around the inn, with Estë and Irmo shepherding him into a fairly normal pattern of eating and sleeping and talking, is feeling well enough to go for a walk* *sits on his bed and slips his shoes on for the first time in what feels like forever, murmuring aloud to the wrinkled and smoothed pictures propped up on his bedside table (himself and Doc, himself and Arwen—the photos he swiped from his desk, the photos he found tucked into his book)* Guess I'm going. I don't know if it means anything, but, well. *pauses, shrugs, and doesn't feel at all strange about talking to pictures/himself* At least I'm going. *dons his jacket and scarf and heads out, thinking he'll wend his way toward the closest shopping district* *the better to get lost in a crowd, really* Link 20 comments|Leave a comment
