It's finally time to reap the rewards you've earned from all that hard work collecting and returning the Hope orbs! Be careful walking the streets during the small earthquakes, but feel free to admire the scenery as your beautiful city reassembles its way back into its former glory.

There are new houses where the destroyed buildings once were, and they're perfect for a single person or pair of lovebirds. In addition, you'll find that the electricity to these new houses, and all other homes and shops in the city is restored. The food is better, the monsters are gone- hey, this city might be livable again!

To cap it all off, we've got a feast waiting for you on the 19th! Come one, come all, and enjoy all of your favorite foods, drinks, and party games. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together to celebrate something good, so get your party on and toss all your troubles away!

No wonder Moryo calls you brat. [ Maglor says fondly ]

It was more a marvel as to how many ways you could mangle it!

[so_dark_a_road]

I try to earn the title. [ Snerk. ]

Hey, it's a complex skill! -- mangling the language. I will have you to know I made masterful study of that. I could have written a thesis on it.

[bythewaves]

You'll be the only one who reads it! [ Maglor threatens fondly ]

[so_dark_a_road]

Oh alas, my lonely thesis will be confined forever to the shelves of some dusty bookcase in a corner of a dark house. The Halls of Mandos, only for books. [ Snicker snicker ] For unfortunate books that swore an Oath of allegiance to the God of Babble.

[bythewaves]

You mean grandfather's gargantuan library? [ Maglor says dryly ]

I don't know if people even know what's in there, any more. Some of those manuscripts are from our very earliest days of writing.

[so_dark_a_road]

Exactly! It was a home for unfortunate books. [ And now he is really laughing, remembering scouring the shelves for old treatises on forging and the history of metalwork. ]

I saw some of those old manuscripts! From back when they were just inventing the art of making parchment, and the runes were not yet developed to the degree that they were in Atar's time -- before he invented the Elven-script. . .

Say, do you think he maybe invented the script letters so he wouldn't have to crane his neck and wreck his eyes reading that awful old rectilinear style?

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor laughs ]

I am fairly certain atar did it simply because he could. But it would not surprise me, if that were indeed the case - and you knew his mind far better than I!

Want to wrap this one?

[so_dark_a_road]

Maybe he did it for a little of both reasons. [ Grin ]

[ Curufin reaches for one of the honey cakes they were discussing only minutes ago, and takes a bite. His eyes light up. It is as good as he remembers. ]

It could be a long time before we taste these again! We should take some home. Or else EAT THEM ALL, RIGHT HERE. [ Laugh ]

yes!

[bythewaves]

Greedy! Give me one!

[ Maglor laughs, snatching another off the plate ]

But yes, let's take some home. They won't last long, but at the least, we can have them for breakfast tomorrow.
