I mean sure this might make some sort of succession crisis later on but we're sticking with it.

They almost certainly know you're here. So I suggest you make the best of it and just step out and say hi.

How are you doing?
-Just been stabbed with a glowing sword.
-Being politely escorted to a small room.
-The brown-robed person is frantically trying to hush me.
-I fell asleep and now I don't know where I am.

Hard luck there, but good news: in the universes you might have dropped into, death isn't the end!

What do you see around you?
-A black-robed skeleton with a scythe.
-A grey hall with an undergroundy sort of feel.
-A city, but all sort of blue-white and washed out.

Before we head on down, there's one question I should ask you first:

Is it a dark and stormy night?
-Yes.
-No, it's actually lovely out. Ooh, full moon!
-Actually it's daytime.

It's good to have convictions, right?

How do you want to make your case?
-Keep saying what you already were.
-Try and use knowledge of the future.
-Lie about knowledge of the future.
-Threaten Elendil.

Or was that permission? Could be both. Not sure.

Either way, congratulations! Four years. Man. How time flies.

Happy Boardaversary! I'm very glad you joined—gave me one of my best online friends I could have asked for. *hugs tight*

So four years (and two days) ago has pretty much nothing to do with the Beatles song, but it was the day when I first said hello on the Board! It's been quite a ride. The occasional ups and downs notwithstanding, it's been a fun four years with y'all. Here's to many more!

*raises glass and resists the urge to see how many Beatles references can be fit into one post*

Over that time, I've started university, almost finished university, been published, done some research, and (most recently today and yesterday) gone on Wiki-editing sprees. Thanks for unexpectedly being around, everyone. Four years ago I really, honestly thought that I was going to find maybe three people still active on the Board when I went looking; instead, I found a hundred and made some good friends. It's a nice sort of anniversary to mark.

*passes out Swiss chocolate--no call for Bleepolate right now--and glasses of whatever you want. Mine is peach juice.*

And hey, maybe eventually I'll get around to finishing that Mary-Sue parody fic that got me looking for permission to have PPC agent cameos to begin with...*

*Amusingly enough, the fourth (fourth? I think fourth) chapter of it then became my Permission piece. And then PPC writing grabbed my attention away from it.

Utini!

While I'm not stupid enough to fight the good guys (who are also taller and stronger than me), I think the queen is pretty important. Arguing it is.

Because darn it, I wanna meet some Jedi this time.

Currently: on a large spaceship.

You really need to know whose ship you're on, so head over to the door and stick your head out. If you don't see anyone, go out and sneak around a bit until you do.

What did they look like?
-Dressed in white armour.
-Dressed in brown robes.
-Dressed in blue shirts and waistcoats.
-There's no door...

((This is one where you're not only permitted but encouraged to write your own answer. There's dozens of possibilities, from 'they're slug-aliens' to 'there's no-one here' to... well, something from KoToR, I never played that.

It... might help to drop me a link to what you're thinking of; it was only fluke I got the Coruscant Guard armour, and this is a much wider question. ~hS))

Currently: being prevented from going to rescue the queen of Numenor before its fall.

It's not likely you're going to be able to fight off a bunch of Numenoreans, with their whole seven-feet-tall-live-300-years thing. I guess the real question is:

How dedicated are you to this plan?
-Not very, boats are cool too.
-Moderately, I'm gonna keep arguing.
-Super dedicated, let's fight!

((This is going to get rather longer than the Star Wars one, isn't it? :-/))

They still think I'm a bit crazy, it seems.

I'm not flying a fighter — I don't know how! I'm in a bigger ship. Much bigger.

You need to- look, are you sure? It seems a bit ambitious, is all I'm saying. I mean, it...

No, no, fine. The queen is back in Armenelos, so you'll need a horse. Time is quite critical here - I don't know how long you've got before the island sinks - so you'll have to run the beast hard. That should make the whole endeavour take about two days.

So it's time to tell Elendil that. You'll use short, simple sentences, and repeat each one until he agrees. Here they are:

Im togitha i rîs. - I will rescue the queen.

Anno enni roch. - Give me a fast horse.

Anno enni tâd oer. - Give me two days.

This is fairly pidgin Sindarin, but he should understand. Make sure he agrees to all three (you'll have to discern this from his tone) before you leave.

How's that going for you?
-I'm on a horse, let's do this.
-I've been offered food and a bed.
-I've been kicked out of the house.
-They're dragging me to a ship.

((The timeline can go whistle. Let's rescue Miriel... unless someone else diverts us! ~hS))

You can safely ignore them.

Now, about that castle: I strongly recommend you don't go near the castle.

Are you going to go near the castle?
-Yes.
-No.

((And you think I do?!))
