Hair Dye, Cloning and General Epic Chaoticness

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

Welcome to the Chaotic RP of TTF! This is a fun, spontaneous, lighthearted, and most importantly, chaotic RP which is available to anyone who wishes to join. While our primary goal is to have fun, we have a few rules in order to keep some method to the madness.

• Firstly, each character belongs to their respective TTF user. In other words, you can't write for a character if someone else has claimed that character. If you're new to the thread, please ask the group which characters are available before you claim one.
• Even though this thread is chaotic and spontaneous, we do have a storyline going. If you're new to the thread, please read the most recent few pages, or more, so you're caught up on what's going on.
• Make sure to interact with other people's characters. Don't just go off and write your own thing without interacting with anybody.
• Don't completely ignore or change the storyline.
• At the same time, please be flexible if someone introduces a new turn of the plot. This is not a carefully planned RP, and it needs to have flexibility for any chaotic new thing someone comes up with (within reason-- it does need to connect to the main story at least loosely).
• If you are writing for multiple characters, use a script format to indicate which character is speaking. Use asterisks* to denote action. For example:
  • Maitimo: *tries to shake Celeraccoon off his arm* STOP BITING ME, TYELKO!
• Try to keep spam to a minimum. I would define "spamming" in this thread as writing more than a page over the course of a few hours. (This can be a tough one to follow, I know.) But spamming makes it hard for other people to keep up.
• At the same time, if you're going to be absent for an extended period of time, we recommend writing your character out temporarily (such as having them disappear or go somewhere) so other people can continue while you're gone.

That's all I can think of for now. If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to ask!

Valid.
*The army of raccoons nod as well and one goes to cuddle with Maitimo to comfort him*

Aww, thanks. *tentatively pets him, secretly happy because he's kind of always wanted to pet and cuddle a raccoon but has always been too scared about their feral-ness*

They are most effective against Orcs, some of them die from the plucking and washing alone.

Yeah, I once saw one melt when a bucket of soapy water was dumped on it.

 

[Tyelkormo the Fair]

Aww, thanks. *tentatively pets him, secretly happy because he's kind of always wanted to pet and cuddle a raccoon but has always been too scared about their feral-ness*

*Starts washing Maitimo*

 

[Glorfindel Goldtress]

Laurinalótë: I'm being hit with WIcked Witch of the West vibes...

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

*Starts washing Maitimo*

(Is this Tyelko or the raccoon?)

 

[Fingon_Findekáno]

*Starts washing Maitimo*

You know, it’s kind of ironic when raccoons are known for being filthy, disease-ridden animals, and then here they are cleaning and washing people to death. 🤔

 

[Server Room Gremlin]

*hops down from the tower and fetches a bucket of already-filled water balloons*
*climbs back up and places the bucket on top*
There, that will do for now.

Say Curvo, since we finished this pyramid, what did you have in mind to build next?

*looks up at the impressive height of Maedhros' sandbag wall*
Well, we will need some benches or chairs on the inside of our fortress, so the more vertically challenged of us can still peer out over the walls.

Laurinalótë: After having tasted crumbled up lemon cookie, I don't see why that's a problem. I'd like to try it sometime.

*glances at Yavanna*
Isn't soil acidity a concern for some plants?

Raccoons often do wash their food in available water before eating it. *he gained this knowledge from Tyelko*

*glances at Yavanna*
Isn't soil acidity a concern for some plants?

Yavanna: Not for Laurinalótë or any of my original creations.

Laurinalótë, in a singsong voice: I'm untainted by discord! I'm untainted by discord!

Aulë: ...Don't be so certain about that. 🧐

 

[Server Room Gremlin]

(In French, raccoons are called 'ratons-laveurs', which means "ratlets [little rats] that wash")

*brings over a tall step-ladder and a long, sturdy workbench* Will these do for elevation?

I’d suggest we could fire arrows with the water balloons on them, but… you know… trying to stick a pointy thing through a balloon…

So, I brought out my trusty slingshot!

(Fascinating!)

 

[Glorfindel Goldtress]

fire arrows with the water balloons

Aulë: Something tells me there's more than one problem here.

 

[Fingon_Findekáno]

Aulë: Something tells me there's more than one problem here.

Shoot arrows, I mean! Not fire arrows! 😂

 

[Server Room Gremlin]

I’d suggest we could fire arrows with the water balloons on them, but… you know… trying to stick a pointy thing through a balloon…

Not to mention they essentially render the arrow ineffective. Water balloons are too heavy and not aerodynamic at all. A sling is definitely the best choice here.

 

[Glorfindel Goldtress]

Yavanna: Aulë is on his off-day, pardon him.

 

[Fingon_Findekáno]

Not to mention they essentially render the arrow ineffective. Water balloons are too heavy and not aerodynamic at all. A sling is definitely the best choice here.

I was more concerned over the simple fact of how the pointy arrow being shoved through the balloon would effectively and immediately pop it.

 

[Glorfindel Goldtress]

pop it

Laurinalótë: This is why Tyelko should have bred an army of weasels.

Yavanna: Resent that statement I do.

Aulë: You just wished you could have weaseled your way out of hearing that one, don't you?

Yavanna: You are sleeping on the couch tonight.

Aulë: I've slept there for lesser deeds. *Bows.*

 

[Server Room Gremlin]

I was more concerned over the simple fact of how the pointy arrow being shoved through the balloon would effectively and immediately pop it.

*blinks* Why would you even try that in the first place? I was thinking more of the arrow being pushed through the open mouth of a filled balloon, then a cord being wrapped around them to secure it. Though that would take too long to be really useful.

*is amused*

Yavanna: Resent that statement I do.

*Curufin closes his eyes briefly and has a silent moment of respect for Aulë*

I didn’t say I would try it. I’m saying it wouldn’t work and therefore am getting the stupid idea off the table. You are correct in saying your method would be too time-consuming and weighty to be effective, though.

On to my slingshot! *tests it and hits Curufin* Yep, my aim still works!

 

[Server Room Gremlin]

On to my slingshot! *tests it and hits Curufin* Yep, my aim still works!

*climbs onto the workbench and drops a water balloon on Fingon's head*
Yes, these will provide excellent elevation, thank you.

 

[Glorfindel Goldtress]

On to my slingshot! *tests it and hits Curufin* Yep, my aim still works!

Laurinalótë: Tyelko is rubbing off on you... *Thinks back to when Fëanor was hit.* ...Or you are rubbing off on yourself.

*Curufin closes his eyes briefly and has a silent moment of respect for Aulë*

Aulë: See, I have not only given you the key to my forge but also to my mind.

Yavanna: It seems found you have a kindred spirit through bad puns and smithery...

*climbs onto the workbench and drops a water balloon on Fingon's head*

Laurinalótë: Respect.
