an elf walks into a bar, a dwarf laughs and walks under it

[goldsickness]

(I need new jokes.)

HI EVERYONE. My name's Ricks, and I'm slamming right into this game with the grumpiest yet most majestic of dwarves you could ever hope for:



Thorin Oakenshield, from The Hobbit (following movie canon here). Info post on his journal, but he's basically short, grumpy, rough, a little mean at times and generally not very pleasant. Also he trusts none of you least of all those elves walking around the place. Oh yeah, he's Seelie.

As for me, I'm on GMT, and I welcome anyone who'd like to add me on plurk! extreminator
Cheers!

[lindir]

AAAHHHHH D:

[goldsickness]

HI LINDIR I HEARD YOU *LOOOVE* DWARVES. 8Db

Hello hello! You're the one who added me on plurk before, yes?

[lindir]

HIS FAVORITE PEOPLE EVER.

Yep! all good on that front XD I'm Mark, looking forward to playing with you.

[goldsickness]

Everyone's favorite people ever. They're just so sweet and lovable.

Nice meeting you Mark! And likewise :D

[fell_to_hell]

I laughed way too loudly at that....

Yo, Ricks! I'm Ryuuto, Ryuu for short, and I play a grumpy demigod, Nico di Angelo from Percy Jackson fame. Nice to meet you and I hope you enjoy playing in this game! :3

/also casually adds you....

[goldsickness]

You're welcome.

And hello hello! I'm familiar with Nico from other RP experiences hehe. Nice meeting you!!

[walkingarsenal]

I still laughed.

YOU DON'T TRUST YOUR NEPHEWS?

[goldsickness]

NOT SINCE YOU'VE BEEN BUDDYING IT UP WITH ELVES, NO 8(

no but yes of course he trusts you, his brave nephew-to-be-king
if only they all didn't die bloody but details

[walkingarsenal]

Better elves than gold. >:|

... Oh. Well. Tense reunion time? What, no, all those AUs are absolutely what really happens.

[goldsickness]

W O W

Yep. Very much so. And he might not really lose it yet but you know at some point the whole thing about DUTY AND SACRIFICE ETCETC DRAMA will come up. (God, Thorin, enjoy life a little.)

[walkingarsenal]

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS. *__*

[aiwendil]

FINALLY A DWARF WITH SOME SENSE.

Hi there, I'm Lauren and I play Radagast here, so excited to have Thorin around! And you can trust him, really, just, maybe not with anything important though.

[goldsickness]

LMFAO OH SENSE hides face in hands um. yeah, sure let's go with that.

Yes he still vaguely remembers Radagast. If he thought Gandalf was weird, then... wow.

And nice meeting you Lauren!

[aiwendil]

RELATIVELY SPEAKING AT LEAST.

Radagast makes Gandalf look so normal reasonable, it's what he's there for really. Thorin is at least invited for tea at Radagast's shack in the woods, it's...cozy. Yes, cozy.

[goldsickness]

Oh god I want this. It'll be the weirdest and most awkward CR ever, I love it.

[aiwendil]

ME TOO! Radagast wouldn't think it's awkward at all, here eat this mushroom Thorin, it will make it all awesome.

[warmassummersday]

/dies/ That joke is horribly awesome. XD

Elrond will eventually greet Thorin warmly just as before. Probably.

[goldsickness]

Well Elrond is still one of the most agreeable Elves he's met so far (which isn't to say he likes him a whole lot, but you know. Perspective.)

And thank you, my jokes are all on the same level of ridiculousness. /tips hat

[warmassummersday]

XD He just can't help but tease dwarves okay? And when he gets back from being captured and then 'yelled' at by family...yes. There should be a second meeting.

>D As they should be. I look forward to hearing more.

[goldsickness]

You elves have too much fun teasing dwarves. not cool. 8|

Also I feel like I should let you know that when I look at Elrond's username I always read it as 'warm ass summer day'. Sorry.

[warmassummersday]

It's totally cool. >D

lol Yeah, you don't want to know what I keep mistyping it as sometimes.

[inafadingcrown]

YESSSSS, I am sad that Galadriel will not be at the intro log to greet him, but she will annoy him over the networks/when she gets back, never fear

[goldsickness]

Don't worry, Galadriel will have plenty of opportunities to go say hi and leave him thinking she's some elf witch with ~POWERS~

[inafadingcrown]

YES EXCELLENT

[bythewaves]

YES A THORIN GOOD
Hiyo! I'm bookworm I have one of the UNseelie elves, this emo one here. He's from a time BEFORE the elf-dwarf fiasco got really nasty (well, except for Doriath, but he had nothing to do with that FOR ONCE) =D Please to be expecting me to collect you on plurk and stalk you all the tolkiens SHALL BE MINE

[goldsickness]

Gotta catch 'em all? :P

GOOD GOD I can already literally hear Thorin rolling his eyes at all the elves (yes, such a thing is possible), and I'm cackling in the face of his suffering.

[bythewaves]

lol yes~

Poor Thorin. I would say they won't cause trouble but... =p

[goldsickness]

He deserves it. He's a stuck up asshole. He'll just have to learn to deal with it and stop being such a jerk. as if ever but one can dream |D

[bythewaves]

There is always hope?? =p Maybe not with the sort of elf cast we've got here XD

[goldsickness]

Maybe... someday, in a distant future... Anything is possible haha

[bythewaves]

the very. very. veeeeerrrrry distant future XD

[goldsickness]

yes. in the meantime you can all enjoy his distrusting and rude ways. i will strive to make him look ridiculous at times for everyone's amusement. ehehehe

[bythewaves]

lol and he can be superior at all the first age elves and their drama =p

[goldsickness]

"SUPERIOR"
from all his less than 5ft of height. Yes.

[bythewaves]

hey hey, one so suitably ~MAJESTIC~ surely does not need HEIGHT to be superior? >3

[goldsickness]

of course not. but i'll be making fun of it from behind the curtain anyway. |D

[bythewaves]

/crying tears of laughter

I will be soooo looking forwards to all of his interactions

[firith]

slides in here so subtly ahw yea

wait did someone just gank my contract



HI RICKS, i'm em and i have this book!canon thranduil over here who will be probably 100% more likely to talk to thorin (who's been dead a while, oops) and will even make that effort over the lockets if he notices him, while on a road trip to pick up his injured babyleaf from the station.

trying to think of quickfire differences between bookduil and movieduil, hmm hmm. he never took his army to erebor, which i imagine will just end up in a lot of YES YOU DIDs and NO I DIDN'Ts because #maturepeople, didn't fight dragons (too busy fighting feanorians when they wrecked his first home, yo), he has the whole 'my people genuinely thought you were attacking them three times at their revels' thing (a better reason for thorin's company to get banged up for two weeks than OUR FOREST, GET OUT), and respects how thorin went down in a blazing ring of fire at TBOTFA. the latter of which he'll ... keep to himself ...

i also have jack frost, if you're up for some snowy chats! welcome to the game, it's so great to have you in the tolkien cast! hnnngh o/

[goldsickness]

Move over Thran you're like a million years too old to still be a model

Oh yes I am familiar with book canon!! Will make for some confusing moments, I'm sure. And yes, seconding on that whole I'M A MATURE GROWN PERSON AND ALSO I'M ALWAYS RIGHT AND I DO WHAT I WANT that's pretty much Thorin. Enjoy, Thranduil, I'm sure you liked him better when he was dead. O o p s.

ANYWAY HELLO EM NICE TO MEET YOU! I love your Thranduil so I just want to cry all over everything that I'll get to play with you - even though I've never played with a Thranduil before so please excuse any mistakes as I get used to this CR.

[firith]

hrrrrf this is all i want, and please excuse any mistakes i make too!

/twirls you around
