In this week's episode...
OOC: Er...I was working on the principil (SP?? Growl..) that penguins, once told that they can't fly, see the logic in the statement. They then, of course, fall. Thus...
Now that the TLA was safely on the ground, Zandalf looks up at the sky and says: "I think we'd better find shelter. Quick." Liz: Why? Zandalf: Because it's going to start raining penguins in a moment... Indeed a penguin landed softly some where to Tano's right, with a pronounced *squeaky.* And another to Katt's left. *squeaky* *squeaky* *squeaky squeaky* *squeaky* *squeaky squeaky squeaky* The TLA run for a near by hut, but will they make it before getting squashed by squeaky penguins? Find out next time on...Return of the TLA!

*Pauses as the rest of TLA run*
Gemma - Aww... Liz - *stops* WHAT, are you doing? Gemma - *catches squeaky penguin* Look! They're...OW! It bit me! Sarah - Well, what did you expect it to do? Gemma - I don't know, somehow i couldn'r resist the urge to catch it. *follows as they run* The TLA continue to run for a near by hut, but will they make it before getting squashed by squeaky penguins? Find out next time on...Return of the TLA... Tano - When did we get the annoying BBC 'next time' guy? Will we be getting a 'previously on TLA' one too? Zandalf - Just run, you fools.

Sarah: Nooo! I can't take this. Poor penguins!
Elisabeth: *grabs Sarah and drags her along* Move it. Or it will be poor us very soon! Acacia: Aaaaah! It's raining penguins! Maggie: I would have prefered chocolate! Sarah: But...but...*bites lip* Penguins! They used to be my favorite animals. I mean, I even got stuffed penguins when I was little and everything. I can't just let them drop! Zandalf: This is the last time I take penguinlovers on a quest! Tano: I think we're nearly out of the fall-out area! *Tano was right, the number of penguins falling is diminishing. Instead of the constant squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-sound there is now only the very occasional squeak. Behind them the ground was littered black and white. Sarah: *takes of cloak and holds it open and runs around trying to catch the last falling penguins.* I got one! Got another one! And a third one! Auch! It bit me! Bad penguin! Zandalf: Stop that! We have to go very very fast now. I can see the Carrocks from here. Beorn's house isn't that far anymore. Follow me. Sarah: Okay. *secretly hides three penguins in a pocket* Violet: What are the Carrocks actually? Zandalf: A scene that didn't make the director's cut. Ah, there is the House of Beorn. Now behave you lot. You might have driven Elrond over the edge but this man will tan your hides if you try a thing like that. OOC: I'm sorry. It was stronger than myself. Penguins still are a soft spot in my heart.

"Previously, on Return of TLA...
There were a lot of penguins.Emily: They're everywhere! Why? Why? Why? Sarah: But they're cute! Look.. Emily: *curls up in little ball* Zandalf: Come on, we don't have all day! *nudges Emily* Emily: *loses it* Look, I'm having a really bad day! I have just been dropped by a penguin. I have randomly appeared here and I don't know where I am. And I'M HUNGRY!!!!!!!! *shocked silence* Elizabeth: Actually, I'm kinda hungry too... *general agreement from rest of TLA* Zandalf: Fine! Everyone go and pick up a penguin. ooc: heeheehee i couldnt resist! The penguins magically turn into those delightful chocolate bars with the stupid suggestions on them. Everyone eats.

Finrollum comes upon the company sitting in a sea of penguin.
"NASTY PEOPLES KILLSES THE PENGUINS AND TAKES THE PRECIOUS! (more quietly) Didn't even invite Finrollum to sing-a-long at Hannah's house.  FINROLLUM SINGS GOOD! rollum, rollum " He then broke into a rousing rendition of Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera. Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses Abandon their defenses Slowly gently, night unfurls it's splendour Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender Turn your face away from the garish light of day Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light And listen to the music of the night Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar And you'll live as you've never lived before Softly, deftly, music shall caress you Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you Open up your mind , let your fantasies unwind In this darkness which you know you cannot fight The darkness of the music of the night Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before Let your soul take you where you long to be Only then, can you belong to me Floating, falling, sweet intoxication Touch me. trust me, savour each sensation Let the dream begin, let you darker side give in To the power of the music that I write The power of the music of the night You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the night Everyone cheers and claps wildly and begin throwing penguins towards the performer (When you don't have flowers, penguins are the next best thing) In the confusion, Finrollum tackles someone and grabs the cellphone from their pocket. He turns it on but realizes it is not his precious but Vilya. Everyone stops and stares. Zandalf: Ok so for now Finrollum had Vilya, he can come along as long as he is good. Finrollum: My precious *sob* Last edited by Finrod Felagund : 10-16-2002 at 01:53 PM. |

Maggie: Hey! (grabs Vilya and puts it away) Get your own cellphone. Stealing mine is not being good.
Zandalf: Shut up and follow me. We must get to Beorn's house before nightfall. And if anyone, and I mean anyone, causes trouble I will turn them into sheep. (Looks around to see if anyone has heard and realizes that they are all several yards infront of him and not listening to a word he says.) I need some more aspirin... Why oh why did I agree to lead this group while Gandgirl went to the council meeting? Why me....

Zandalf:*to himself* No wonder Gandgirl never showed up. SHE knew what she was getting herself into... Calm yourself, Zandalf. You're here to stand up against all the dark lords in middle earth. There is no way this bunch of local weirdos is going to get the better of you. Not as long as there is aspirin, anyway. I have to use reversed psychology. Yes, that's it. *to the rest* Okay, troops, listen very carefully. I will say this only once and I suggest you watch my mouth move: Now that you've eaten, I bet you're all dying to find yourself a nice cosy bedroom for the night, right?
*The rest nods in approval* Zandalf: *to himself: So far so good* Now since me, being the leader, is of course very concerned with your welfare, I want to get you a good night sleep. Isn't that friendly of me? *The rest nods in approval* Zandalf: *sweetly*Good. I know of a guy who rents some rooms occasionally. He's name is Beorn. Since we have no money left (thanks to the goblins) we'll have to ask him nicely to let us stay for free, right? *The rest nods in approval* Zandalf: THAN FROM NOW ON YOU'LL ALL DO EXACTLY AS I SAY, WHEN I SAY SO! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! *the rest huddle together, frightened by the unexpected outburst* All: okay, Zandalf. We'll be good. Zandalf: Good, now I'll take Hannah and Tano with me first. The rest follows in pairs at a 5 minute interval. Any one who doesn't do so will never eat chocolate again. Hannah, Tano, follow me. *Zandalf goes to Beorn's house with Hannah and Tano trailing after him. The rest remains seated in chocked silence*

OOC: Erp, I'm in choir, I know Music of the Night by heart, can't resist
!Hannah: *thinking while walking with Zandalf* Hmm... sound and phonation were alright, but when he hit some of those high notes it went a bit flat... kinda squeaky too... but very good for a guy. He shouldn't even be able to sing, given his time down in the caves... on the other hand, plenty of time to practice... On another note, he was bending his back, slouching a bit. Definate no-no. Not good for the breathing. Mayhap that's why he went squeaky... mouth position could've used work too... vowels were too bright but he can fix that... consonants were up to mark... Sound palette... *she keeps musing about Finrollum's musical abilities as she's walking along*

Mean while…over there…on RETURN OF THE TLA!
Penguin wakes, having been knocked unconscious by the fall.
Penguin: Mier…. [Pronoun of gender nonspecific persuasion] surveys the scene…and finds Sarah stuffing as many penguins into her pockets as possible, Emily curled up into a little ball gibbering, Zandalf followed by very frighten looking Hannah and Tano heading off to some little shack, Finrollum belting out Tony award-winning Broadway musicals, and general random mayhem. Katt is knitting quietly under a tree. Hmmm, seems that adventure has gotten on fine in my absence… Then [Pronoun of gender nonspecific persuasion] notices that there are quiet a lot of those little snotty chocolate things that tell you how to live your life. And they look strangely enough…a little…like… Penguin: MIER! [Pronoun of gender nonspecific persuasion] runs over and knocks the nearest TLA member from her sticky treat. Penguin press it to [possessive pronoun of gender nonspecific persuasion] bosom and wails surrounded by horror and weirdness. Beorn steps out of his house to see what all the squeaking is about. He pauses, blinks, and cocks an eye brow. He turns his great bulk toward Zandalf and in a tone most authoritative states: “I’m not fond of penguins.” Zandalf laughs nervously and begins to sweat. Can Zandalf talk his way out of this one? Find out next week on...RETURN OF THE TLA!!!

Acacia: *goes over to Finrollum* Wow, that's a pretty good voice you have there. i see you're a fan of PotO?
Finrollum: I am not a fan... I AM ERIK!!!!!! Acacia: Right... Finrollum: What? We both live near an underground lake, and are scorned for our ugly looks... *rollum* Acacia: Anyway... what do you think of singing the Phantom theme song with me?

ooc: Christiana, next time you mention something like that, I'll make you into something worse than sheep....
Zandalf: Hello, sir. *as proudly as he can* I am Zandalf. *pause* Beorn: Nope, never heard of him. *shocked silence from all of TLA* Beorn: So who are these two? *Zandalf closes gaping mouth* Zandalf: Well...but... but I AM ZANDALF! *no response* Zandalf: ZANDALF THE SLIGHTLY OPAQUE!!! *Beron begins to wonder what was in that chocolate* Beorn: Whatever, Mr. ego trip. So who are these two? *before Zandalf has a chance to speak the curse he wants to speak, Hannah interrupts* Hannah: Well, sir, I'm Hannah Baggins and this is Tano *looks at Zandalf* and you know this rather put-off wizard. Beorn: Hm. I'm not fond of wizards either. Zandalf: HOLD ME BACK! HOLD ME BACK! *no one dares approach the furious wizard after his last outbreak* Beorn: You know, there something I believe you need. It's called "anger management". *Zandalf begins to angrily stamp back towards group* Zandalf: Hannah, Tano, you're up!

Allie- Does it strike you that Zandalf is taking a long time in there?
I'm going to go see what the matter is. Sarah- No! You can't! He'll hurt you! Allie- Why would he hurt me? Acacia- He gets mad...easily. Allie- Nonsense. I am going, whistle or not! Bye! OOC-Sorry so short and stupid! My 15 min. timer rang....blechs.

Acacia: In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came. That voice which calls to me, and speaks my name...
Sarah: *coughs* Finrollum: What does the nasssssssty creature want? Sarah: Stop singing!!! Acacia: But... but... Maggie: Yeah, stop it! Emily: Do they have to? I want to listen... Sarah: YES! *TLA divides into two groups, the pro-phantom and anti-phantom, and glare at each other angrily* Pro-P: WE WANT PHANTOM! GIVE IT NOW!!!!! Anti-P: STOP THE SINGING BEFORE WE GET VIOLENT!!!! *Just then, Zandalf walks back in on them* Zandalf: WHATS GOING ON HERE???

Sarah: They were singing!
Zandalf: And that's wrong because? Sarah: Because....um....because... it attracks wolves! Yes, that's what it does! Acacia: No it doesn't! You're just against it because you can't sing! Sarah: *looks shocked* No, it isn't! Zandalf: *moans* I can't take this anymore... Sarah: Fine! Have it your way! *walks off to Beorn's home and enters* Meanwhile inside, Tano and Hannah are still where Zandalf left them, still trying to talk Beorn into letting them stay for free. Hannah: We're just a little group. I mean it's not like we're are such a bunch of trouble. Beorn: The wizard said otherwise. Tano: Yes, yes, but you see ...the wizard has been of late a little testy. Hannah: Yes, it's not like that has anything to do with us. Beorn: You've got a penguin. Tano: Oh I'm sorry, would you have prefered a cave troll? Beorn: I hate cave trolls! Sarah: *walks in* What's going on in here? Hannah: Mister Beorn was just saying how he hates cave trolls. Sarah: Does that goes for goblins too? Beorn: Yes! Sarah: *puts on saleswoman toothpaste smile* Splendid. I think I can solve this situation to our mutual satisfaction. You see, we're not so fond of goblin's ourself. (nasty ponythieves! Poor Chocolate!) In fact we just got back from a kick-goblin-ass-campaign in the mountains. Now I'm sure you want to know all about it. Beorn: *still not entirely convinced* Maybe. Sarah: Unfortunately it's a bit of a long tale, so I guess it's best told over, let's say....dinner? Beorn: For the lot of you? *laughs* Mmmm, okay little girl, you've got yourself a deal. Get the rest of your crazy bunch inside. *Tano and Hannah cheer and pull Sarah back outside to tell the rest the good news* Tano: We did it! We can stay! Hannah: Well at least for dinner! Sarah: *to herself *Little girl? Hmpf. OOC: I felt like writing.

Allie- Sh, don't complain...we get food! *gets to the table* Eeew...I'm allergic to honey.
Beorn- Don't you appreciate my meal??? Then you can... Zandalf- My companion is rather...um...slow. Please ignore her. Allie- I...am? OHHHH...yes, very slow. *Eats bread.* Beorn- Anyhow...how does this story begin? *The lights go dark. A stage appears at the large end of Beorn's home. The company suddenly appears onstage in medieval costumes and start to sing....* Sarah- The name of this song is called "Our Journey" Allie- It is? OH YES, now I remember..."Our journey took us long and far to the land where all the chocolates are..."
