Event Log: The Beach Episode

Who: Everyone!
What: The event log for the transition to our new planet!
Where: The city, which has now been fragmented onto four separate islands.
When: May 27th-June 10th
Warnings: Surf's up! If by 'surf', you mean separation from your friends, weird sea creatures, and cold rainfall.


The sun and the sand and a drink in your hand- well, it all sounded pretty nice when you voted for the island planet, but ultimately what you're getting is a bit less glamorous.

The transition takes place instantaneously, with very little noteworthy shakeup, though those of you who are particularly in-tune with the supernatural may feel a bit dizzied or nauseated by the sudden movement. And that's exactly what it is: for those of you who are outside, the change is fairly noticeable, as in the span of a single blink, what used to be miles of desert is now rocky ocean. The city is simply in one place one moment, and then somewhere entirely new a second later.

And that somewhere new is exciting! The islands have plenty of landscape to explore and weather conditions to adjust to, fish to catch, and- wait, how do you get to the other islands? What if your friends or your home or the bar is on these other islands? Enjoy having to figure out who is where and how you're going to get by with only a small fraction of the city to work off of- hopefully those boats will come sooner rather than later...

[ Maglor thinks a crane would need more rope than currently exists XD ]

So we did! Although I think we were all grateful that you grew out of the need to test if gems were candy or not by gumming them.

[ Perhaps, but are there any limits to Elvish ingenuity? And if an Elf can consider how to steal a lockbox from the depths of the ocean, may not there be others in Arda who might be thinking of it also? Oh, dread! ]

[ But he has to laugh at Maglor's memory of little Curvo's explorations. ] I remember. Father's gems were so beautiful, so colorful, and so interestingly faceted that I just had to experience them by popping them into my mouth. Did you know that the tongue is the most sensitive and spatially-oriented organ of touch, surpassing even the fingers? I was making a touch-and-taste map of each of those jewels!

Good thing I concluded they were not candy! [ Little Elves are too smart to swallow things that might be dangerous to their digestive tracts, fortunately. ]

[ YOU LEAVE THAT SILMARIL IN THAT OCEAN CURVO OR SO HELP HIM XD ]

Ah, really? I think you are making that up because you just liked putting things in your mouth. [ Maglor teases ]
so_dark_a_road: (flickers of light)

[personal profile] so_dark_a_road 2018-06-18 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Curvo says the only thing he wants with that wretched Silmaril is to smash it with a sledge-hammer! ]

Of course I did. Those jewels were tasty and interesting. Oh, but the explanation is as much fun as the experience! [ Grin. ]

[ Fair ]

I just bet it is. [ Maglor says dryly ] I suppose I am grateful Telpe wasn't quite as bad!

[personal profile] so_dark_a_road 2018-06-19 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ And he doesn't trust Ulmo or Ossë to do it. ]

[ Oooh, that dryness again! XD ]

It's true, my darling son didn't munch or chew on anywhere near as many non-edible objects as I did. Why was he so well-behaved? [ He's laughing. ]
bythewaves: (Arnold grin)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-06-19 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Maglor isn't entirely certain that they even CAN. or would, if they could. Aule, maybe. But not the Sea ]

Clearly he must have inherited it from his mother!
so_dark_a_road: (Elves kick ass)

[personal profile] so_dark_a_road 2018-06-22 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, let's give it to Aulë! ]

Clearly. [ Chuckle ] Although as you know, my dear wife Sulriel was a weaver like our grandmother. Who knows what yarns and fabrics she might have chewed on in her childhood when she was a baby weaver!

[ Works for Maglor! ]

I am sure your lovely lady wife was a model of good behaviour!
so_dark_a_road: (Lords of the unsullied Light)

[personal profile] so_dark_a_road 2018-06-26 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ "Aulë, we have a small problem. Do you think you could, um. . . ?" ]

She was, except she married me!

[ Maglor raises an eyebrow at him ]

Yes I can see how marrying my disreputable brother made cracks in her good behaviour!

[ Curufin smiles back. ]

But I thought she did pretty well with the situation, considering.

Besides, I made sure that if anybody was going to cast any aspersions, they cast them at me, not her.

[ This is true. If he even heard a whisper of disapproval being directed at Sulriel for her choice of a mate, Curufin tracked down the whisperer and tossed that person over the garden wall. ]
bythewaves: (alone)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-06-27 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
I think she rather thought so.

[ Maglor says fondly ]

It grieved us all when you drifted apart.
so_dark_a_road: (they came in the dead of winter)

[personal profile] so_dark_a_road 2018-06-29 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
She was an admirable person, in every way.

[ He smiles at Maglor, appreciating that his brother had liked Sulriel and had had high hopes for the relationship. Maglor had wanted his little brother to be happy. ]

Only if you mean drifting in the sense of icebergs in a frozen sea. We crashed into one another over that matter of the Oath. And that was our demise.
bythewaves: (oath)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-06-29 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
It was the demise of most of us, I think. [ Maglor says sadly ]

We were so young then. So naive still.
so_dark_a_road: (seeking always the unknown)

[personal profile] so_dark_a_road 2018-06-29 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
And so it was. [ With equal sadness. ]

We were young and naive, yes. We had no idea how large and strange was the universe we were born into and had to live our lives in. How could we have known?
bythewaves: (Arnold worry)

[ Maglor reaches out to touch the screen, as if to touch his brother ]

We learnt. [ He says softly ] I wish I could have spared you the lessoning.
so_dark_a_road: (a vision of war)

[personal profile] so_dark_a_road 2018-07-01 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Curufin reaches also, as though to touch Maglor's fingers. It feels, for a moment, as though only a thin glass window separates them, and not the miles that are actually between. ]

We had no choice but to learn by experience. [ With equal softness ] And I know you would have shielded me if you could have. But alas! no one can protect another from experience. No matter how great is the love.
bythewaves: (my older brother)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-07-01 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ They are too far to truly reach each other, but brothers they remain, and some things neither of them need to say, fingers resting opposite each other on the glass ]

I know. My dear one. I am so glad you are here now, Curvo!
so_dark_a_road: (many secrets of craft)

Want to wrap this one?

[personal profile] so_dark_a_road 2018-07-03 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
And I am glad you are here, too. My dearest brother.
bythewaves: (will you look back)

Yus!

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-07-03 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
I will see you soon.
