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!

Imagine all the fraud he's cooking up in his books over there!

*Curufin doesn't even want to think about what counts as 'the economy' in Angband*

The real shock would be finding something adjacent to legitimate business activities in there. 😶

*He recalls his earlier misadventures involving Angband Denny's*

Raze the place to the ground bro. 🫡

 

[Glorfindel Goldtress]

Raze the place to the ground bro. 🫡

*Laurinalótë from atop Curufin's head bobs her petals sagely. Sagely as a plant can, anyways.* Why does this feel like one of those "and Curufin smiled" moments? Oh, and I agree. My golden dust can contribute-- except not in the ways of destruction. But it can transform. Observe...!

There is a sign at the front that reads: Maedhros Fëanorion, CPA. Accounting and Tax.

*Laurinalótë from atop Maitimo's head shakes her leaves and whirls her golden dust over to the sign, adding a vine-y pattern of shining floral filigree to it.* There. With a taste of myself, naturally. *Some of the dust lingering in the air rests upon Maitimo's coppery head to give it... a tinge of gold.*

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

*walks around the new little office, checking it out with enthusiasm* I have no idea what any of this entails, but I'm down for taking out Angband Denny's! 🫡

Oh, don't worry, there's not actually gonna be much work to do here. Morgoth is absolutely not going to have any documentation to support his fake financial numbers, so doing just a tiny bit of field work will give me enough evidence to issue an Adverse Opinion. The thing is, no CPA in their right mind would ever audit Morgoth because you're really only supposed to deal with clients you believe are acting in good faith. But luckily, I'm not a CPA in my right mind! I just have a score to settle!

Yeah, exactly. I'm not expecting he even records inventory at all, let alone records it accurately.

With a taste of myself, naturally. *Some of the dust lingering in the air rests upon Maitimo's coppery head to give it... a tinge of gold.*

*Maitimo glances at the ends of his hair and notices the gold.* Careful there, Laurinalotë! Too much of this and Aranya's gonna hate the sight of me!

*Finno nods as if he understands all of this*

*he chugs a marshmallow peep latte*

Yeah!! So where do we start? Infiltration? Spying? Hacking into Angband's networks?? 😏

*Amras pops up from the couch where he’s been sitting with a glass of lemonade*

I know! Pityo and I can distract the orcs with a water balloon fight, and then you guys can sneak in and take a look at the records!

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

(So, my brain ran out of ideas on how to make an audit of Angband funny and entertaining for everyone. But, my brain surprised me today with a Very Silly new story idea, based on a VeggieTales episode! You guys okay with switching gears? I wouldn't be able to post frequently, but it would be nice to get something going again.)

 

[Server Room Gremlin]

(Fire away, brother 🫡)

Lookin' forward to it :>

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

*A suspicious-looking weed with a curly blonde hairdo and fashionable sunglasses is chilling in a sidewalk crack, waiting for passersby with open ears. She looks a lot like Cilintírien if she were a weed!*

Psst! Did ya hear the one about Finno?

(Your character can respond however they want to the Cilly-Weed, but I need at least 2 characters to believe the rumors she will spread! Finno is basically Alfred and Maitimo is basically Larry-Boy in this silly plot. And if you're not familiar with Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed, hopefully in 25 minutes, you will be!

)

 

[Glorfindel Goldtress]

(As soon as you mentioned it, the Rumor Weed song got stuck in my head. 🤣)

Laurinalótë: I... am... no... weed!

 

[Server Room Gremlin]

Psst! Did ya hear the one about Finno?

*Curufin looks down at the odd voice coming from near his feet*
*He raises an eyebrow at the small plant's bizarre appearance, but is not inclined towards being suspicious of it, his previous limited experience with talking plants being quite pleasant really*

*Curufin's curiosity is piqued (as always) by the possibility of gathering more information about the people around him*
What about him?

 

[Maedhros_Nelyafinwë]

The Weed: Did ya ever notice how Finno came back a bit different from Thangorodrim? He's got fangs for teeth, and his skin is terribly cold. Which can only mean one thing... he's a VAMPIRE!

(For the sake of this story, this is new information to the characters, and not necessarily true!)

 

[WatcherWraith]

Despite never having run into vampires before, Tiny Ghost fully believes in them, as he also believes in werewolves and Mairon. His fairy tales are a bit...different...from what elf children usually hear.

(Aka Námo, his wife, and his sister are...morbid storytellers)

"The High Lord Fingon Nolofinwion has contracted the disease of vampirism?! Tragedy strikes! And yet, it must be asked, strange flowering plant, is he the pretty kind?"

 

[Server Room Gremlin]

The Weed: Did ya ever notice how Finno came back a bit different from Thangorodrim? He's got fangs for teeth, and his skin is terribly cold. Which can only mean one thing... he's a VAMPIRE!

*Curufin's expression darkens in a pensive manner*
Skin terribly cold... (well, very many of Fingolfin's host emerged changed from the crossing of the Helcaraxë, and it's not like he's touched Fingon at all to notice this)
Fangs for teeth... now that, I will keep an eye out for. If Findekáno were turned to a creature of the Enemy, it would not bode well for any of us.

*And although Curufin trusts his own observations first, a feeling of distrust and betrayal burgeons in his heart at the idea of Fingon keeping such a thing quiet, if indeed more befell him at Thangorodrim than he let on - for he could be a danger to them all*

 

[Fingon_Findekáno]

*Fingon approaches with a small wave, looking bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, so to speak*

Good evening, Cousin, Tiny Ghost! What are you up to on this pleasant night?

 

[Server Room Gremlin]

*Curufin turns around at the sound of his voice, and sees Finno there - now is his chance...*

*He folds his arms and shifts his expression to one of mild intrigue*

Just lurking. *brief smirk which doesn't reach his eyes*
I might ask you the same. What are you doing out here? Anything of... interest?

*His tone is light, but his gaze is intently observing Finno's face, waiting for a glimpse of his teeth*

 

[Ent]

umnhhhh.... yup..!

*the corner of Fingon's mouth turns up slightly in amusement at Curvo's response of "lurking"*

I just left a meeting with my atar, and came over to speak with Maedhros briefly before heading out for a hunt tonight. Do either of you know if he's in his tent?

(OOC: Don't worry, Maedhros, you don't have to be there to reply to Finno. It can just be a scene "off-camera".)
