The Doorway: a panfandom game

For those who know them, my nephews, Fili and Kili, are gone, as is the elf Tauriel.

My friends, it has been too long. Please let me know what I may do to ease the burdens & sorrows of this strange world.

As I've come to understand, the Tesseract takes as well as it gives. In that light, I should like to open the opportunity to any interested for my Languages of Middle Earth course. You may sign up with the Educational Services Division here.

Filter: LOTR/TH 'verse

It seems we've lost a few of our companions to this tesseract. If it is not too much trouble, I would like all of us to check in.

Filter: Kili

We may need to talk about what happens if one of us is sent home.

What is tumblr and why should I stay away from it?

Who: Aragorn & Katniss Everdeen
Where: Outside the Tower, following a visit to the park.
When: Backdated to early March.
What: Aragorn & Katniss build a snowman.

It's been a few weeks, but I was thinking about that ad to visit the Arctic. Is that typically how one goes about setting up quests in this world? I've been looking into it, and it seems adventuring is quite popular here.

I've also considered starting a small language group for those interested in learning Sindarin. I know that it has a certain appeal in this world that I don't quite understand, and perhaps I'm not the best qualified to teach, but I'm afraid I can't spend my days building snowmen and squirrel hunting.

It is curious how I awoke when I have no need of sleep. That is not the most worrisome thing. The world has changed greatly since I last remember. I do not remember the world at this height, nor with this much body facial hair.

When is the weather going to be warmer?


ARAGORN

Do you hunt?

Hello?

I was told I could use this device to talk to people. My name is Peeta Mellark. I'm from distr there is no a place called Panem, which I am told doesn't really exist here. I'm still not sure any of this is real, but Katniss tells me she thinks it is and I tru trust her. I think I do

The men who greeted me when I arrived told me I was here before, but I don't remember it, so I'm sorry if we were friends and I've forgotten. My memory isn't.. what it used to be.

Text To Legolas

-- Mellonamin, I've forgotten how to say "I'm dying" in Sindarin.
-- This must be what it means to pass beyond the world.
-- Please tell me you are well.
-- It would be a great dishonor if we were all to perish in a plague of this world.
-- Perhaps I truly am weak.

Is there somewhere a person infected with this flu virus can go so as to not infect those in her quarters?

How does anyone get a job here that can actually support themselves without a college education or relevant work experience in the field? We're lucky we don't have to pay for these apartments, or many of us would be really shit out of luck.

This is how people get sucked into doing things they don't really want to be doing, because they don't think they have a choice, and often, they don't. We got trapped this way on the Ark, too. We all had a part to play to keep it going, we'd do what our parents did, or we'd start training young because we were good at whatever it was. I was never g Or we'd do things we weren't proud of because it meant we'd see another day, or it meant having food on the table. It's not any different here, but I can't even say I'm surprised. The only thing I'm remotely qualified for is a security guard or soldier. I don't know a damn thing about waiting tables or working in an office. Maybe I'll just have Starbucks teach me how to make coffee and be done with it.

CLARKE GRIFFIN, OCTAVIA BLAKE, RAVEN REYES:

I'm going to watch the show on Wednesday if anyone wants to join me. I can buy us something to drink. There's only one condition: no fighting.

OCTAVIA BLAKE:

You need a guardian, and I'm not going to let some company I know nothing about do this for me. You'll have to go to school, at least for a while. It could be good for you.

This remains a strange place to me. I considered offering out my healing skills, but it seems the technology here has well outpaced my own skill set. I wonder if swordsmanship is the same.

I do not understand. The garment is hideous blue and black, is it not?

FILI, THORIN, TAURIEL, LEGOLAS, GIMLI, BILBO, ARAGORN:

Can any of you see this?

GREETINGS

To Fili and Kili, my cousins and my most beloved kin
To Samwise, the Brave
To Aragorn, King Elessar Telcontar bearer of the Sceptre of Annúminas
To Master Bilbo Baggins
To Thorin Oakenshield, my King under the Mountain
To Tauriel, most skilled of the Elven Guard.

I have learned of your residence here in Pot's Tower from Legolas, Prince of the Woodland Realm, and impatient keeper of the Internet's customs. I post here because he bid I do, but I would quite like to do away with such formalities and greet, eat and drink with you all.

What - Why did you say for me to 'filter' for you?

You are reading this as I wri

STOP!

Okay, so I've commandeered the 13th floor's entertainment rooms for this weekend and next week for a grand extravaganza!

This weekend, we'll be showing the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy! Because it's awesome and because some people who arrived were wondering what happened and stuff. Then next week, we'll do the Hobbit movies. I found a copy of the last one. Don't ask me where

I'm not bringing snacks for everyone. That's a long time, so you'll need to bring your own. Or if you want me to buy things, I can do that, but I need everyone to pitch in before they can have any of it. I work at a coffee shop, so I don't make a lot of money.

But we have the room, and it's got comfy seats and it's big enough for like 20 people or something.

In lieu of all these different coloured 'outs' bringing about change, it's got me thinking.

How ruggedly handsome would I look with a beard and this brilliant hair of mine?

Additionally--there are hobbits here? Finally? Oh, I have got to start checking in here more often again! Missing out on everything!

Who: Samwise Gamgee and Aragorn
Where: Let's see...first starting in Sam's apartment?
When: Thursday afternoon some time
What: Sam is introduced to Earth and discovers it to be a big difference from Middle Earth.
Status: incomplete, threaded
Warnings: Um...maybe mentions of events at the end of ROTK

( It's a fair bit different from anything like the Shire... )
