Hair Dye, Cloning and General Epic Chaoticness

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!

Tyelko: uh... speaking of weddings...hahaha... have I ever told you guys I'm married?😶
Íri: what?!?? When!? Who?!? Where?!? With who?!? Tyelk--
Finrod: haha...I guess you guys didn't know?😶
*Both try to sneak off*
Fingon: Wait– what??!? GET back here! You don’t get to drop something like that and walk away without explaining! And since when were you and Finrod close enough to tell secrets??

*flies over and hovers in front of Tyelko* If you really are married, then you get to give marriage advice to Maitimo next, like Curvo did.

*Both share a look and Tyelko subtly slides behind Finrod, avoiding the sight of Íri who is being held back by Nessa*
Um...I got drunk and we ended up talking about my wife and Amarië? I didn't really mean to do it.
*Maitimo looks hurt* How come you didn't tell me?
*Looks at him guiltily*
Well...I didn't tell others on purpose either. It's not exactly a happy story.😔

*thinking Tyelko’s just worried he’ll get in trouble, Fingon tries to encourage him further* Well now you have us intrigued, Tyelko! What happened? Who is she? When did this come about?

It's not exactly a happy story.😔
*notices Tyelko’s somber demeanor as he explains further, and Fingon realizes how much the topic seems to hurt* I’m sorry, cousin. You don’t have to tell it if you don’t want to.

*Huan nuzzles Tyelko’s hand to comfort him, knowing what he’s thinking*
 
*All of a sudden, another Maitimo bursts in: a much younger, Valinor era Maitimo. Despite having both hands and no visible scars, he looks way more anxious and paranoid than older Maitimo.*

*He doesn't recognize anyone at first, but he recognizes Celegorm and Curufin, though they look much older than how he knows them. And bigger and more battle-worn. Scarier. More of a threat.*

*He somehow goes even paler and loosens his sword, though he doesn't think he can hope to match them in a fight.
* S-stay away from me!
 
*Both Curufins turn to look at the new Maedhros*

Curvo: *bites his lip, attempting not to smile*
Curufin: ...you in a spot of bother there, young Nelyo?
Young Maitimo: Quit mocking me! Those are some audacious words after what you did to me?

Celegorm: I have TWO Timo I can bite now! THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!
Bite me?! So it wasn't enough for you to shoot me with the poisoned arrow, huh? Well I won't let you guys trick me again! *draws his sword, though his hands are trembling.*

*Older Maitimo sees this and is super confused. He's low-key trying not to cry a little at seeing his unmarred self, but he's unnerved by how traumatized the kid seems to be at his age.*

OM: Um, hey there, younger me... what are you drawing a sword on our brothers for?

YM: What'd they try to kill me three times for?! *sees Caranthir* What'd he kick me down the stairs for?

*Young Maitimo's eyes widen as he sees all the scars and missing hand of Older Maitimo.* What awful things have they done to you?

OM: *horrified* They?! That was Morgoth, not them! What in all Arda did our brothers do to you?
 
Curufin: *eyes widen*

Curvo: *muttering* Seems like something's gone very wrong in Little Nelyo's alternate universe...

*Curufin is still processing, but smiles a bit at the 'Little Nelyo'*
 
*Fingon and Finno are both initially excited to see a young Maitimo suddenly join the fray, but they become concerned for him as they witness the interactions and his fear with the brothers*

*Fingon steps forward to address him gently*

Fingon: Maitimo, no one’s trying to kill you, at least not here. You’re safe with us.

Finno: What do you mean your brothers have tried to kill you three times and shot you with a poisoned arrow?! Where was I?
 
(okay I'm cracking up here at the image of Tyelko Naruto running.🤭)
(SAME!)

*Curufin is still processing, but smiles a bit at the 'Little Nelyo'*
*"Little Nelyo" takes this for an evil plotting smile, bristles, and points his sword at him.*

Tyelko: Teeny Tiny Timo.🥺
*Naruto runs to hug him*
Nessa: how's he still alive?
*Finrod and Iri both shrug*
*"Teeny Tiny Timo" screams and jumps out of his path*

Maitimo: Whoa, whoa. Time out, everyone. *gently takes YM's sword arm and lowers his sword* Hey. I don't know what you've been through in your world, but in this world, our brothers are nice. They would never hurt you. Well, beyond the occasional biting from Tyelko, anyway. But that's just his feral way of showing affection.

YM: *flinching away* Everyone made promises in my world and then couldn't or wouldn't keep them. Atar, Ammë, Haru Finwë, even Uncle Nolo. *he sees the Finnos and his eyes tear up* I'm sorry I failed you, brother.

*Aranya is trying not to cry as she watches this. She remembers when she and Maitimo were that young and he looked like that. Yet Maitimo never looked this haunted until he emerged from Angband.*
 
*Tyelko sulks and pouts but relents*
Whatever. My own Timo's hugs are the best. I don't need yours.
*At this Nessa rolls her eyes, but then looks at the young Maitimo worriedly, her big sister heart breaking, even though this was technically her elder brother*
Iri: this is getting more awkward. Wanna go get ice cream for everyone, Ingo?
Finrod: sure.
*They leave the room and head towards the Minions quarters*

*Fingon’s heart breaks, seeing how emotionally wounded this Maitimo has been by others when he should have been happy and carefree at this age. He tears up a little when he sees the immense guilt on Maitimo’s face.* Failed me? However did you fail me, brother?

*He subconsciously finds it a little ironic how even though this Maitimo is so much younger than him, he still has to look up to address him to his face.*

Iri: this is getting more awkward. Wanna go get ice cream for everyone, Ingo?
Finrod: sure.
*They leave the room and head towards the Minions quarters*
*Finno overhears them* Bring back a large bowl of black cherry ice cream, please!!
 
*"Little Nelyo" takes this for an evil plotting smile, bristles, and points his sword at him.*
*Curufin looks serious and holds out his hands, showing he is unarmed*

YM: *flinching away* Everyone made promises in my world and then couldn't or wouldn't keep them. Atar, Ammë, Haru Finwë, even Uncle Nolo. *he sees the Finnos and his eyes tear up* I'm sorry I failed you, brother.
*Curufin winces, recalling all the events in Beleriand where he felt a similar way*
 
Where was I?
Failed me? However did you fail me, brother?
YM: So you really don't know, do you? Good, I guess. Where were you? You were trying to help me and this became your undoing. My brothers framed you for their own misdeeds, and everyone except me believed it. My mother fought you and you were wounded, and then you would not forgive Fëanáro for what he did to both of us, and this caused your father to hate you, and... it's all my fault!

*Older Maitimo is horrified listening to this.* Oh, kid, please tell me you at least had Aranya on your side?

YM: Who's Aranya?

*Everyone falls silent. Aranya steps forward and smiles sadly.* I am she. Do you not recognize me?

YM: *shakes his head blankly* No. I'd have remembered if I met you. You're... beautiful.

*he glances around the room* What about Fëanoriel? Where is my sister?
