+1 elf king

[woodking]

HELLO, DRIFTFLEET! My name is Natalie and I noticed that clearly there are just not enough elf kings in this game (there's only what, four from tolkien alone thus far or something idek) AND SO I DECIDED TO FIX THAT BY BRINGING ANOTHER. So here's Thranduil, from the book version of the Hobbit, which is... different, than the movie version of the Hobbit. By, um, kind of a lot. Kiiiiiiinda a lot.

I am brand new here and am just starting to get into game rp again after a while of only doing psls so I am excited! Anyone who wants to contact me, the best way is honestly plurk, where I can be found at emeralddarkness

HI NATALIE!

Finrod will feel so awkward about this.

[woodking]

Well that depends on Feanor doesn't it

[woodking]

Haha about what?

[faithfulwisdom]

WELL he kind of found out recently about his cousin's sordid activities. Sooooooooo, sorry bro

[passingthrough]

The Hobbit was the only of the books I actually read and it was a loooong time ago so as I was watching the movie I was just like, "wow, I must have forgotten...A LOT...!"

Welcome! I'm Haunt.

Why hello! I believe we meet again!

[woodking]

sob that's because it wasn't there

[woodking]

why hello I believe we do!

[universal_charm]

Thranduil is clearly doomed to be bothered by Kirk, lol

[woodking]

I am 2000% okay with this because i am pretty sure it'll be great

ALSO HI I JUST NOW REALIZED HIT POST HAHA WHOOPS WELL THIS IS OFF TO A GREAT START ALREADY

[universal_charm]

Haha A+

And good. Good. Kirk is slowly building a collection of elves, do come join in Thranduil

[woodking]

well I mean Thran emphatically states that he will not be lumped in with the feanorians so kirk is gonna have to have subgroups of elves i guess

[noprophecies]

I know nothing about the Hobbit but I know LoTR and I like elves so. ♥

I'm Cass and I play this disaster half-elf here, as well as Hank McCoy and Meg Masters. Welcome to the game!!

[woodking]

hahaha darn I kind of wanted him to find out by just thranduil threatening to kill them and him being like 'could you MAYBE chill' BUT AH WELL

[woodking]

The quickest rundown of the Hobbit is it's a book about some guys on an adventure to find treasure. Quick rundown of Thranduil is he's Legolas's dad and the king of a real big forest that's had a giant spider problem for a while now.

[passingthrough]

Hah! Perfect.

[faithfulwisdom]

yeah, he kinda had to ask why his cousin kinda... seemed incredibly mentally unstable when he arrived. So, you know.

[noprophecies]

Ty for the ELI5! Giant spiders are the worst problem to have.

[woodking]

They really are, Sauron is the worst next-door neighbor

[universal_charm]

Don't make him play elf politics, Thranduil >:

[woodking]

Too late

[universal_charm]

Nooo, why can't everyone just get along? D:

[woodking]

well. they kinda killed his mom. and aunt and uncle. and cousins. and grandparents. and most of his friends. I mean there is that.

[universal_charm]

Okay, that's not cool, but if it was a war, didn't you do some killing too?

[woodking]

this case was less of a war and more a family attacking a group of civilians and murdering everyone - twice - because they wanted a shiny when thran was probably the human-equivalent of around 14 or so the first time around when everything got lit on fire and they got chased out of their home SO YEAH...........................

Moral of all of middle earth: say no to shinies.

[woodking]

well that's understandable

[universal_charm]

Kirk is going to stare and just be like - are you serious, you people fought over a GEM?
