My grandfather was kind enough to teach me how to use this device, although I am still quite unsure how it works. But it appears that I have just arrived in this new, and strange place, and I thought it would only be polite to introduce myself.

I am called Eärendil, and I am the only son of Tuor, son of Huor, and the Lady Itarillë of Gondolin.

I wish you all a good evening.

Captain,

Tell me of good tidings. Describe to me the beauty of Imladris, that I might see her in my mind's eye. Lest I spend the next ten years rebuilding Gondolin on this dining table.

Perhaps I shall do so anyway. City of my heart.

[added]
I am much troubled. Though I shall not ramble or burden you unnecessarily. I find nighttime to be remarkably ill-suited for sleep, for is it not perfect to lay here and think? To be undisturbed in the quiet, for hours on end. [...] It is the perfect storm to create madness, swimming in one's own thoughts, fears and doubts.

Lord, uncle

I have a request. Indeed, it is more task that is better suited to one of your skill than any other. If you are willing - I wish to break this garnet crown and repurpose her jewels for a crown more befitting a Noldorin king.

It was made by Sindarin smiths, but our skill with jewels are inferior to our skill with blades.

Ai, look what I came across.

How...how does this artist know what she looks like?

It is her; my love, my life. My heart breaks in yearning, and yet I cannot stop looking.

I am being moved to a different part of the hospital on Monday. This is a good thing, yes? I have looked into the housing assignments as well, it appears that the room to which I have been assigned is next to your room.

Are you coming by tonight?

[Filtered to Turukáno]

Brother! Great news. My condition has improved to the point I will be able to move to a different wing of the hospital on Monday. The pain is ever present, but it hurts not as much as it did when I arrived, and I can certainly bear it. Thank you for your everlasting patience, brother. I have ordered them to put me on no more of those medicines that so affected my mind and judgement.

[Filtered to Glorfindel]

Aiya, Prince of the Golden Flower. Your healing skills are beyond measure. They will not release me yet, but my condition has improved and I am being moved on Monday. My gratitude is truly beyond measure. The son of Ñolofinwë will be forever in your debt, and your deeds will not be forgotten. Your actions and loyalty towards this family (and yes, I have read the tomes that tell of our deeds, fair and foul), even to this day with my great-grand-nephew, have earned you honor and my undying love. You will be richly rewarded when I am well enough to do so.

[/filter]

Ai, I shall be glad to be out of the hospital, and be able to explore this strange land. I have heard and read many things about it that I am eager to see. I hear there is a large park in the middle of the city? And museums and histories and knowledge beyond measure. I do not know where I shall even start! The works of Men seldom impress me, but this city will at least offer some interest for a short time, I hope.

To those I have not met, I am Findekáno, son of Ñolofinwë, High King of the Ñoldor in Beleriand. I come here, apparently, from the hour of my death, and I have been spared by modern medicine from the Halls of the Slain. It is a reprieve that will last as long as I remain here, and I plan to enjoy it - and my dearly beloved friends - as long as I may.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to view the first of the films that chronicle the journey of the Fellowship of the Ring. I couldn't help but wonder as I did what Lord Elrond would have to say of his daughter riding out to meet Aragorn while the Nazgul were abroad.

Two days I have been in this place, and still it has not sent me back. What is the meaning of this? How dare that strange blue box rip me from my wife, my noble father, and my home!

Furthermore, how could it do such a thing? I am at a loss to explain it, or the craftsmanship that must be behind it. I should like to examine it, but I do not think that those who guard it so jealously would allow me to do so. It is a pity. Mere Men have not the intelligence or skill to understand the workings of such a device - they certainly have not the chance at understanding it as does the greatest craftsman of the Ñoldor! From what I have seen walking the streets of this foul and ghastly city, the crafts of men are far inferior to the work of my hands. Like the drawings of children, compared to the masters.

I also wish to know where in this place I can find access to a smithy? The oven in my room operates at pathetically low temperatures, and is absolutely useless to me.

My son, since last speaking to you, I have learned that you are indeed my child. My confusion is, of course, fully understandable, as such a thing as Time Travel has never been shown to be possible, even by Eru himself. This, too, is perhaps something the Valar selfishly hide from us in an attempt to keep us their pathetic thralls.

Nonetheless, I should like to meet with you at once. I hear there is a book that documents our story. Have you read it? I will be picking up a copy at the bookstore today.

Findaráto [...] Ingoldo!

Ai! Findaráto Ingoldo answer at once. You would not believe what, or who, has come. Atar! Curufinwë Fëanáro, by the Valar's grace. He is reembodied.

Nay, it is more accurate to say he has not yet met his death. He is but an elfling in appearance, but long since come to his majority. He knew me not by name or by sight. His spirit burns as bright as ever and his wrath as swift as the wind.

Eru. [...] But [...]

He knows not of his fate. Speak nothing of it should he venture words to you. Any of you! I forbid it, lest you learn the bite of my blade.

Aye, speak not of your lineage unless questioned, Artafinde, for he has lost Míriel to your father-mother Indis, and will know nothing but anger for you. That is not to say be silent always, but give him time to adjust.

Ah by the Valar, how I have longed for this. [...] And dreaded it all at once.

[info]spiritoffire

Never in my life have I been so ill-treated. How dare they point their weapons at me and address me in such a manner! I am the son of Finwë, and these ill-informed and insignificant creatures - (whatever they were, they were not of the Eldar) - shall not insult me so again, unless they wish to answer to cold steel.

Should I torment myself by watching the movies based on my world? Thankfully, I am not in them, but some of those I know are (in fact, I am told my little sister has a large role in them).

I am told that the "Lord of the Rings" movies, as they are called, are a pleasure to behold, but that they are not incredibly accurate.

[Filtered to other Tolkienverse Elves]

Does my sister meet a tragic end in these movie? I do not think I could watch them if she does.

Aiya, Glorfindel! Merin quetë.

Findárato tells me of a great sadness concerning the fate of Gondolin. I would hear this tale with my own ears from one of its lords.

[info]findlight

It is hard to believe that I have been in this city as long as I have. It has been nearly two months since I arrived here. The city has its benefits, I suppose, and there are a good number of interesting people here; I have enjoyed speaking with several of them.

But I loathe the distance between the city and the forest. And not just the forest, but the wildness of the sea, the freedom of the meadows. Birdsong is drowned by the screaming of engines, and the water in the river runs dark and filthy. It pierces my innermost fëa that Men have rejected Arda in such a profound way. How can one truly live, if one cannot even see the stars?

No. I can't be here. I have something that I need to do. I... Let me go back. You don't understand how important it is for me to go back.

Please tell me that this is not happening. And where in sodding hell is my Elf?

A most strange place this may be, but great things are expected of Men in my world, and great things, it seems, they have achieved here.

I am Glorfindel of Imladris, known, I am told, to many of you as Rivendell. Long have I served Elrond, and gladly, but it seems that I now find myself walking a different path.

It is my hope that we may be friends, for when one is driven from one's home, friendship is perhaps the greatest boon and a most welcome kindess.

Hello, everyone. My name is Virginia Potts. I'm better known as (and answer to) the moniker that Tony gave me many years ago, Pepper.

I wanted to take a moment to welcome you all to the Refugee Network. Tony Stark - as well as many others - created the network so you would have a safe space to talk without the prying eyes of the media. I'd like to give them a warm thank you for their hard work.

Some of you have been here for a while, and as of today, the Tesseract has given us more refugees than it has in the previous five months, and it's still going. I'd like to take a moment to thank the hard-working men and women of S.H.I.E.L.D. for their diligence and perseverance. Without their quick thinking when refugees began to appear, this would have been nearly impossible for any one of us to handle.

And on that note, Director Fury has asked me to pass along the message that they are in dire need for Administrative Staff to help with processing. Anyone who is interested can pass on a note to your Housing Assistant.

Speaking of, there should be one Housing Assistant per two floors (and in one case, three floors). Should you require any assistance, they should be able to help you. Potts Tower is not a new building, but we have gutted it, given it an ARC reactor for clean energy, a full service gym in the basement, an outdoor patio and pool area, and an entertainment area. We plan to utilize all of these areas in the upcoming holiday season in the hopes that it helps alleviate some of the melancholy of being without your families.

Once again, welcome to the Refugee Network and Potts Tower, and I look forward to getting to know you.

-Virginia Potts
