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!

*Looks at him, impressed. Squeezes his hand and smiles at him, whispering*
Thank you.

*smiles back and gives a short nod in acknowledgement* *gives Tiny an additional little scratch on his head, finding him rather cute*

Yeah, you're gaslighting me again.

Aranya: *sighs* Maitimo. What did your therapist say about receiving compliments with grace?

Maitimo: That any compliment I get has an underlying motive or is a lie?

Aranya: *sighs again* NO.

Brother, when would I ever lie to you, about anything??

 

[Tyelkormo the Fair]

Ohhhh. You must be talking about my evil clone. The one without scars!

*Starts screaming*
I'm so close to do to you what Amaniel did to him!

Yeah, you're gaslighting me again.

Aranya: *sighs* Maitimo. What did your therapist say about receiving compliments with grace?

Maitimo: That any compliment I get has an underlying motive or is a lie?

Aranya: *sighs again* NO.

Finrod: what? No-
Tyelko: that is why you go to therapy!
*Sprays water at him*

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

*Aranya sees this is rapidly spiraling downhill and pulls Maitimo aside*

Alright, Maitimo. Give me a compliment.

Maitimo: You're beautiful, one of the kindest and most selfless people I know, courageous, skilled, clever...

Aranya: Thank you. Now, how would you feel if I accused you of lying or trying to manipulate me?

Maitimo: ...

Aranya: See? It doesn't feel good. Now go back to your brothers and cousins and give them a proper thank you.

Maitimo: But Findaráto at least was almost definitely lying or manipulating! He secretly hates my guts.

Aranya: Alright, well forget about him for now and at least go properly thank Finno and your brothers. Don't they deserve your thanks?

*Maitimo nods and sheepishly returns to Tyelko, Curvo and Finno*

I'm sorry, guys. I still have some brainwashing from Angband to get over, I guess. Thank you for complimenting me. Not sure if I deserve it, but I appreciate it all the same.

 

[Tyelkormo the Fair]

Finrod:*stares at Maitimo, feeling a little hurt.*
Have I ever given you any reason for you to think me dishonest? I've forgiven your brothers, why do you think I'd still hate you?

Tyelko: that's my idiot sandwich.🥺

 

[Fingon_Findekáno]

I'm sorry, guys. I still have some brainwashing from Angband to get over, I guess. Thank you for complimenting me. Not sure if I deserve it, but I appreciate it all the same.

It is okay, brother. I understand. Those kinds of things take time to move past, and we can keep working on it. I know it’s still hard to accept good things right now, but you can trust my words are genuine and true.

…I’d give you a hug, but I have a bird on my shoulder.

*looks at Aranya and gives her a nod, mouthing “thank you.”*

 

[Tyelkormo the Fair]

*Tiny flies and sits on Maitimo's shoulder, peering at his face. After a moment, he gives him a kiss on the cheek*

(That's something he does, actually. He gives kisses to my mom when he notices she's angry or upset.🥺)

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

Finrod:*stares at Maitimo, feeling a little hurt.*
Have I ever given you any reason for you to think me dishonest? I've forgiven your brothers, why do you think I'd still hate you?

*Maitimo's eyes narrow in suspicion* Yeah, well, you emotionally manipulated me into giving you candy by bringing up the Kinslaying. By the way, I never said I blame you if you hate my guts.

Aranya: *elbows him* That's enough negativity for now. How about you accept his forgiveness?

Maitimo: ...

Maitimo: Have you really forgiven me, Findo? You're not just saying it?

It is okay, brother. I understand. Those kinds of things take time to move past, and we can keep working on it. I know it’s still hard to accept good things right now, but you can trust my words are genuine and true.

…I’d give you a hug, but I have a bird on my shoulder.

*gives Finno a side hug, carefully avoiding the shoulder Tiny is on*

*Tiny flies and sits on Maitimo's shoulder, peering at his face. After a moment, he gives him a kiss on the cheek*

Aww! 🥺 *pets his head* I'm sorry my dad was mean to you.

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

Alright guys, here's a plan.

I've been having this weird paranoid feeling that something bad is about to happen, so who wants to help me build an Ultimate Fortress?

I've already got water balloons laced with lemon juice!

I’m with you, Maitimo! Let’s do this!! *starts building a trebuchet launcher for the water balloons*

 

[Server Room Gremlin]

This is nothing new.

so who wants to help me build an Ultimate Fortress?

I do like building...

*Yawns*
Ookay.
*Picks out a spoon and starts playing with dirt*

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

I’m with you, Maitimo! Let’s do this!! *starts building a trebuchet launcher for the water balloons*

Excellent work!

I do like building...

Will you help me construct a structurally sound foundation, then?

*Yawns*
Ookay.
*Picks out a spoon and starts playing with dirt*

Alright well what are your ideas to make our fortress epic?

 

[Tyelkormo the Fair]

Alright well what are your ideas to make our fortress epic?

*Halfway in making a tiny raccoon soldier*
I can lead your army.

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

*Halfway in making a tiny raccoon soldier*

Very good!

 

[Server Room Gremlin]

Will you help me construct a structurally sound foundation, then?

Will do. 🫡

*leaves and returns, dragging in some sandbags from somewhere*
...Don't ask.
*continues bringing them in*

We can lay these on top of each other in an alternating pattern, like bricks.

 

[Fingon_Findekáno]

*tests out the mock-trebuchet model with a water balloon*

*discovers he probably should have done it in a different direction, as the balloon slams Fëanor in the back and drenches him*

Good thinking. I'll help. That will count as my upper body workout too. Multitasking! *starts hauling bags of sand around as Curvo directed*

*Fëanor yelps loudly and spins around, glaring daggers*

*Maitimo pales and gulps, but he knows how to handle this* Atar? Finno's trebuchet seems to be malfunctioning. I bet you'd know how to fix it!

Fëanor: *eyes narrow in suspicion, but he can't resist helping diagnose a mechanical problem, and he comes over to investigate* Aha, you've got the entire lever system rigged backwards.

 

[Tyelkormo the Fair]

O-oh!
*Snickering, continues with his mission of making tiny raccoon soldiers*

 

[Fingon_Findekáno]

*Fëanor yelps loudly and spins around, glaring daggers*

*winces* Sorry, Uncle!! I-It was an accident, I promise!

*Maitimo pales and gulps, but he knows how to handle this* Atar? Finno's trebuchet seems to be malfunctioning. I bet you'd know how to fix it!

Fëanor: *eyes narrow in suspicion, but he can't resist helping diagnose a mechanical problem, and he comes over to investigate* Aha, you've got the entire lever system rigged backwards.

I do? Oh! I-I mean, yes, I do. Silly me. Would you mind helping with correcting it? I’m not exactly the best at mechanics. 😅

*whispers to Maitimo* Thank you, brother! You really saved my bacon there.
