“I wish Merry was here,” he heard himself saying, and quick thoughts raced through his mind, even as he watched the enemy come charging to the assault. “Well, well, now at any rate I understand poor Denethor a little better. We might die together, Merry and I, and since die we must, why not? Well, as he is not here, I hope he'll find an easier end. But now I must do my best.”

a misfire from another earth

[roseapothecary]

I didn't say your weed was BAD, I said it was DRY.

Jesus, BE more sensitive!

[pippin]

I assure you, sir, none of mine has spoilt; though I'd not take offense if it had.

[roseapothecary]

OH my god, I'm sorry, this wasn't meant

Wait

You brought weed to space??

[pippin]

I always have some pipeweed on me; space is hardly a deciding factor, my friend.

[roseapothecary]

[ Stevie would have loved this guy. ]

I'm just saying, it's lucky you came with your... stuff.

You have no idea how much I could use a Xanax.

[pippin]

It's a tradition of my people, whyever would I not.

Xanax? Why, that sounds rather Orcish, I think, but I can't imagine they have letters.

o r c i s h

[roseapothecary]

Well, look at that.
It's a 'tradition' with my people too, but it's not like I'm always carrying.

Are Orcish uppers or downers?

you heard it here first.

[pippin]

Oh? What types of leaves? The Shire is most famed for Longbottom Leaf and Old Toby.

Well, they are taller than my people, so I suppose up? I have never heard of classifying folk in such a manner.

thank you weed name generator

[roseapothecary]

Critical Louisiana Waui? Rain Sky? Diabolic Ghost Leaf?

Ohhh, you mean people.
Oh you can TOTALLY classify them that way.
I, myself?
Total downer.

( misfire )

[dothelokimotion]

Dwarves on the ship? Preposterous.

[pippin]

Whyever not? Uncommonly courteous fellows are dwarves.

[dothelokimotion]

Not in my experience.

You know of dwarves?

[pippin]

Did you steal something from them? They don't take kindly to that.

Know them! Why, I am good friends with one of their princes. An esteemed fellow, though he does go on a bit. Then again, so do I!

[dothelokimotion]

I may have. Though I think they simply disliked my way of magic rather than using blunt weaponry.

Princes? Which realm do you hail from?

[pippin]

That is very likely, yes. From what I have heard, they have a dislike of magic unless it comes from a trusted wizard. I cannot blame them; there is only one wizard I trust.

Middle Earth is what we call it. Though the old kingdom's name was Arnor, & it will be soon again, if it isn't already!

[dothelokimotion]

[ never heard of it. terrible name though. middle-earth. middle of what? where?? ]

How many wizards are there?

[pippin]

More than I know. I've heard there are whole councils! I'll be content with one, thank you very much! The other I saw was of a terrible sort, just terrible.

misfire!

[blackmagus]

Is getting extremely drunk on my first night on the ship a typical thing or a just me kind of thing?

[pippin]

I daresay if it is not tradition it ought to be!

[blackmagus]

[ ...hang on, this isn't who she thought it would be. He'd never use daresay. ]

It really helped with the situation. You wouldn't happen to have any tips, would you?

[pippin]

I am always firmly of the believe that one should answer call with kind, the day after, and some warm water to chase it. A hot bath is highly restorative.

[blackmagus]

I meant with living on a spaceship. Assuming you have much more experience.

But you're right, a hot bath after a long night of drinking is incredible.

[pippin]

I have never been on ship before, traversing water or the beams between stars. Though there was once an incident with a boat I admit does not linger strongly in my memory. Suffice to say you & I are likely at the same level of experience, roughly speaking.

A hot bath, & a bit of what you had the night before. It never fails to lift my spirit.

[blackmagus]

I've been in an airship before plenty of times, but nothing spaceworthy, so it seems you're right.

I'm Fortescue. It appears this message went askance, but you've been lovely about it.

[pippin]

An airship? A ship that flies through the air! Somehow that is even more shocking to me than a ship that flies through the stars.

They are only manners, Miss Fortescue, and I hope every day I have the good ones & not the bad!
