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!

*raises an eyebrow and gives him Fëanor's 'I'm not fooled' look*
*wonders how quickly he can obtain some of that 'Emotional intelligence', because he's at a loss about how to proceed otherwise*
*is determined not to let this beat him*

*Curufin now looks as though he is pondering something. In reality, he has decided to trigger the arduous mental process of Introspection. Which, like an ice-cream machine's cleaning process, takes a long time and puts his brain out of order while it's running. It's terribly impractical, so it's almost never used, but when no other option presents itself, it is a thing that Must Be Done.*
*To his surprise, it is not long before he feels Something. He focuses his mental energy on that sensation... in his stomach? Wait... no, that's just mild hunger.*
(thinks) Now is not the time to think about snacks, you have a job to do as a responsible brother.

*Unfortunately, now that he has noticed the signals from his stomach, they will not allow themselves to be ignored again. Forcefully redirecting his train of thought, he tries to say something spontaneous.*


So, um... Nelyo...
*He draws a blank. Then, suddenly, a brilliant solution comes to mind.*
*slight smile* ...wait there. Back in a moment.

*strides purposefully from the room*

*Curufin goes to his workshop, which is nearby. The bookshelf there contains an assortment of items. Books of course, but also toolboxes, miscellaneous items he doesn’t know where else to put, and non-perishable snacks. It’s all fairly neat, but there is no particular order to it. He slides a couple of rectangular items out from between a geology encyclopedia and his journal from when he was a young adolescent.*

*returns*
*without a word, pushes Nelyo towards a small round table in the corner and has him sit down*
*also sits*
*hands Nelyo a chocolate bar*
That's for you.
*unwraps his own chocolate bar and takes a bite, for which his stomach thanks him*
(thinks) A step in the right direction? Hopefully?
*glances at Nelyo briefly*

*realises he has quite literally 'trusted his gut'*
*is inwardly amused*
 
(Curufin at this point)

 
I want mint choco!
*Turns to Curvo*
Do you have some in your workshop I take? I finished the raspberry ones.
I believe there is one mint chocolate bar on the very top of my bookshelf. You may take it if you like. There are some types of mint chocolate I like, but that one is not one of them, and I bought it by mistake.

*Leaves and comes back with the chocolate bar and gives half of it Íri while Lómion watches them, disgusted*
I've bought a stash of cherry ones for Tyelpë. You can have some if you want but I think he hid them somewhere the moment I gave them to him. Do you steal his snacks often?
 
No... but it must be an inherited trait. I used to hide my snacks under my bed before I got that bookshelf in my workshop.
 
Aww... thanks bro, I love chocolate! *hugs him*

*this whole time, Maitimo could practically see the wheels turning in Curvo's head and his heart is warmed*


(Curufin mentally calculating how to show Empathy™️ to brother!)
 
*After a bit of time*
So… you want to talk about it? Or not. *takes another small bite and looks down at the table awkwardly* ’S up to you.
*he frowns at how clumsy his speech is*
