I mean, other than the fact that you're an intruder aboard a ship whose crew should know you for a stranger on sight, but what's a little stowing-away between friends?

Before we go any further, though, I have to check: you're not in a starfighter, right? I mean, there's something around you other than a cockpit?

Are you flying a fighter?
-Yes.
-No.

I apologize in advance if my choice screws up the timeline.

((I have no idea what I’m doing.))

And given the sheer uniformity of them, I would have to guess a spaceship.

You're already doing better than my last client - good going! Don't panic about not knowing where you are, though; that's why you have a Mysterious Voice from Above!

Where are you?
-In a desert.
-In a forest.
-In a spaceship (ie, metal walls).
-In a building (ie, non-metal walls).

Still not sure where I am, but I can breathe, or at least I think I can

Congratulations! You've fallen into a galaxy full of possibilities, a vast canvas of war and peace, heroism and villainy, stables and starships. I'm sure you'll have a great time, provided you can survive the next hour or so.

Now, here's your first question. It's very important that you answer this as quickly as possible:

Can you breathe?
-Yes.
-No.

Also spelled Überwald, and occasionally Übërwäld if you're feeling really enthusiastic, this is the place that puts the FUN back in mad science! Making 'mad scifunce' or something, I dunno.

At this point you should probably pay a bit more attention to the fellow with the scythe, before he decides to attack you on general principles for ignoring him.

Does he look:
-Like a terrified peasant?
-Like his face has been stitched together?
-Like he's smoking a cigarette made of the remains of other cigarettes?

Currently: Elendil's best buddy in the last days of Numenor.

I guess when your life has been as strange as his recently, you'll believe a lot. Or maybe it's your clothes?

At this point, the ball is in your court. Elendil is a helpful chap, so you can probably get him to help you with whatever you plan to do next.

What do you want to try and do?
-Rescue the (good) queen?
-Kill the (evil) Sauron?
-Sail west to Valinor, the Blessed Realm?
-Just get off Numenor and go to Middle-earth proper?

(("I fell into this world from another! Oh, by the way, this island's about to sink. Cheers, mate!"))

I don't know why this is surprising to me, but it is.

I don't know. Something about you, Granz, just made me assume that you were some kind of ethereal, birthday-less entity, who has always existed and always will.
Well, that's clearly not true, now, is it?
What a dope I must be, to believe that, eh?
Happy birthday, Granz, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your eternal existence.

My gift upon you is: very long lived cheese.
So it won't go off, even if you don't like cheese and never eat it.

Happy birthdaaaaaaay!

Many happy returns, etc.

The mountains of the Disc are quite spectacular, with highly impressive views. Consider yourself lucky to have seen them. Oh, by the way:

Can you see any of the following?
-A gigantically-tall vertical mountain.
-A spooky castle.
-Absolutely no level ground anywhere.
-A monastery.

Currently: telling Elendil your story in the last days of Numenor.

Luckily for you, the Faithful speak Sindarin amongst themselves, which is a lot easier than Adunaic to get to grips with. You will want to say this:

"Im dant ned sin ardhon o chae ardhon, a sin tholl dhannatha."

Which, in passable Sindarin, means "I fell into this world from another, and this island is going to sink."

You won't be able to understand his response, but hopefully you can pick up his tone.

How does he react?
-Mockery?
-Anger?
-Fear?
-Awe?
-Pity?

((The current Middle-earth chain is on Numenor talking to Elendil, and waiting on a response from me; I'll try to drop an [M-e] tag on the next post. Feel free to join in with that one, and if the thread is still going when it ends, we'll take your No as the next start. ~hS))

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE
HOPE NOBODY MAKES YOU BLUE
AND YOUR CAKE DOESN'T EXPLODE IN GOO!

*blows noisemakers*

Today, plus or minus x days, whereas the absolute value of x is less than or equal to fourteen, I entered this great, wide world. So... yes. Today (maybe) is my birthday. Yay!

I did do a quick scan for other threads, but didn't see any. I'll be more careful in the future.

Can we maybe keep these to the existing threads when possible? I know it's mildly annoying, since they're kind of something you want folk to see quickly, but there are three or four such CAHQ adverts on the first page of the Board, and each only had two replies at most.

So each thread with one or two replies pushes another one off the Board, which is mildly problematic when those are active conversations. Make sense?

Sorry for the grumbling. It's just a quirk of the forum style.
