Let the Imies begin!
Niluial smiled, she always loved to be on stage, the centre of attention. She smiled and cleared her voice. The crowd waited eagerly for the first Imie to be presented. Niluial winked at Lossie and Lossie smiled back.
Niluial smiled once more while trying to find her crumpled up paper in her secret pocket. She found it and let out an “aha” and naturally Nilly blushed and got odd looks from the audience. Niluial smiled again and cleared her voice “I am here to hand out an award which is a very significant one! This award is to honour the first (yes the very first) member the creator the person or should I say Eru who knows Imladris at her best and at her worst. No matter what she never did give up and she stands in this hall today happy and cheerful because she has seen what Imladris, her creation has become! I am sure the person who is winning this award already knows who she is. Who is that member? The member is only the best thing that ever happened to Imladris. She is kind, generous, friendly, cute and I could make a list of good qualities that she has. She has given time, effort and patience to make Imladris well… Imladris! Without her we would be nothing just few Barrow-Downs members who would have probably never met. To think of it without her we wouldn’t have had the Imladris friends we have today which I would say are my closest friends! She has brought us together and helped our insanity level rise, which I think with out a doubt is a good thing. Through all our troubles and worries she has been here! She is only happy when everyone is happy and everyday she tries to put a smile on our faces which she gets right at every effort! The winner of this award I have made obvious… The winner of the Oldest (as in first) Member of Imladris 2003 is the one the only the all mighty Eru, Elentari!”
Niluial watched Elentari walk gracefully up the stairs in the middle of the stage. Elentari’s smile was the biggest and whitest one around. Glitter and roses fell from the ceiling onto the black marble floor. “Well done” Niluial whispered in Elentari’s ear as she hugged Elentari. Niluial handed Elentari a beautiful, shiny trophy and hugged Elentari once more

Elentari smiled one of the biggest smiles she evered remembered smiling! A few tears escaped her eyes at hearing Nilly's beautiful speech. She gave Nilly a hugh hug, then walked to the microphone to make her speech.
"I have to say, I've never been one to make speeches. Before Imladris was created, I was just another member of the Barrow Downs. I knew few people there, and because of that I was never an active member. The first version of Imladris was created in Middle Earth Mirth, but when it was closed down our own Lossie set up a forum for us." Elentari smiled at Lossie. "When our aimoo board caused many of our computers to through fits and crash, I knew Imladris would die unless something was done. I created this board, and with the help of my dear friend Dragoneyes, I managed to copy all of the posts from the old board.
"I've not always been here for you all. There was a time when I was not seen online for many a month, yet the memories I had from Imladris were forever on my mind, and I found myself returning to re-claim my life on the net. I've never once regreted returning, and I must thank you all for welcoming me back with open arms. I'm sure that I don't tell you all this enough, but without you all, there would be no Imladris. I, we, have kept Imladris going, and have spread the insanity far and wide! Thank you, you are all wonderful members!
"And I'm sure the other members won't bore you with speeches like that!" Elentari laughed and held her staff out towards the audience. Everyone cheered as golden butterflies appeared from her staff tip and fly toward them. Some were dissapointed when the butterflies dissapeared when touched.

Niluial wiped a tear off her cheek then watched the tiny butterflies flutter off and disappear, it was beautiful. Elentari walked off the stage holding her Imie Trophy proudly. Everyone cheered and whistled as Elentari stepped off the stage. Niluial walked closer to the microphone and said “Thank you Elentari! Well the next Imie is Oldest (as in age) that will be presented by ElberethVarda… so come on up ElberethVarda the stage is yours!” Niluial winked at Elbereth and walked off the stage and took her place in the front row with Lossie on the right and Elentari on the left. Niluial waited for Elbereth’s speech.

Ophelia had suddenly started to move on the air . She deffinetly knew it was Lossies work but she didn`t resist . She floated towards the tree and there she was bounded as an pale faced angel decoration . Even though Ophe doesn`t look like an angel at all .
After a little weary struggle Ophe just gave up . She noticed that this is the quiet spot she was searching for . No people who don`t talk to her much , no noise and a great wiew . And she felt sleepy suddenly . Maybe because of the vodka . But Ophe fell asleep halfly hearing the oldest member nomination going to Elentari . "If only those fir-tree needles wouldn`t squeeze in my butt ... " was the last thought of hers for after that she wasn`t at this reality anymore .
Lossy looked at the balcked-out Ophe and started to smile widely not to say more . Some others grinned too .

Firi leaped to her feet and cheered loudly for Elentari. "HUZZAH FOR ELENTARI! THE FAIRLY KNOWLEDEABLE ERU!" She screamed. Right when she finished she realized that the clapping had stopped and everyone was staring at her. Firi looked around for a moment then said, "What?"
Some people rolled their eyes and looked away. Firi sat down looking very innocent and turned her attention to ElberethVarda.

[Side note: it was actually some one else who started the Council of Elendili, I forget the actual name, and Lossen who did the next site, but seeing as Elentari is our current leader...] Hip hip hooray!!! A note from Elentari I: Yes, I was not the original creator, but to both mine and dragoneye's recollection I was the first of the current members to join the old council. Elentari I, aka Erutunín Another note from Elentari II: Granted.  |

Ala sat quietly and watched the awards. Lëo paid a bit more attention, although she occasionally gnawed at her wrist. Dom nearly fell asleep again. Ala took out the box that she had so carefully kept safe throughout the party. Dom woke up a bit, and watched. He handed her a piece of paper written in code. She nodded then ate the note.
She took out a small remote control looking thing. Tempered with a few switches then grumbled. She sighed. Dom raised an eyebrow. 'It didnt work,' Ala whispered. Dom nodded, nowing they would have to go down to the basement again, and he seemed a bit afraid of the place.

Lossie looked up at the sleeping Ophelia. She sighed, supposing that she really ought to let her down. She looked to Nilly, who nodded, knowing, as she often did, what was going through Lossie's mind. Lossie let her head drop before half heartedly turning and pointing her wand back at Ophelia. The tinsel ropes vanished and Ophelia fell a few feet, before Nilly elbowed Lossie. With a roll of her eyes, Lossie slowed Ophelia down, and a group of faeries helped lower her as gentley as possible onto a giant cushion. Ophelia still looked pleasently sleepy, and the halo was perched, slightly squint now, but more or less on her head. [Another side note, Elalia started the Council of Elendili, I don't know what happened to her, but I miss her a little, she was the one of the first people I was friends with online. (Her and AddictedtoRumil, who also disappeared...  ) I hope that we can remember her, as it's really down to her we're all here.  ] |

Elbereth applauded for Tari, then made her way to the stage. She cleared her throat and silence fell once again.
"The winner of this next award is a very special person. She always is the first to welcome new people, and to include the old one. She has a gentle spirit, that others are drawn to. This member is one we all know and love....The Oldest as in Age Member award goes to.......NILLY!"
The audience applauded wildy as Nilly made her way up to the stage. Elbereth huggeed her warmly, then handed her the award. "Would you like to..." Elbereth motioned towards the crowd. Nilly took a deep breath and nodded.

Niluial took a deep breath “I am not the oldest member. Kayla the first person who founded the name Niluial has left Niluial to me! I am only in my mid teens so I would like to give this award to a respectable person on the board. A person who we all love! No the person does not have grey hair or a walking stick but is young and wild who acts like a 6 year old with me! The award Oldest (as in age) Imie award of 2003 goes to Lossie!” Niluial smiled. Lossie rolled her eyes and walked on the stage. Niluial hugged her and whispered in her ear “Congratulations granny!” and Niluial stuck her tongue out and laughed. Lossie walked up to the microphone and got ready to say her thank you speech.

"Well, for starters, I'd like to point out that I am in fact, not the oldest member." A few of the audience members gave sceptical looks. "No, it's true. But I'll accept this award anyway, as I seem to be the eldest here at the party. I hope that it'll make you realise that I am in fact wiser than the lot of you, and can order you all around...Apart from those who could ban me." There was a small ripple of laughter, and Lossie winked as she stepped away from the mike. She gave Nilly a huge hug, and pulled a tiny bottle of absinthe out.
"Well, now that's over..." The two grinned and went back to their seats.

Niluial smiled evilly at Lossie. The absinthe was in a small glass, mystical bottle with a silver lid. Lossie took a sip (ok a gulp!) and handed it to Nilly. Nilly enjoy holding the bottle, ‘twas cold and beautiful. Elbereth walked up to the microphone again and took a deep breath and said “Well, next up is Dragoneyes with Longest Thread!” and with that she walked gracefully off the stage and took a seat five places away from Niluial. Everyone waited patiently for Dragoneyes to walk onto the stage.

GOTO popped carefully out of the corner where she'd been dozing for quite a while now, smoothing down her rather crinkled clothes and patting down her hair. She slowly edged towards the food table.
Seeing that nobody was standing at it, everybodys' attention being taken by the awards, she began to stuff herself. Very nice food they have here, she commented, grabbing a couple pastries and a glass of wine.

Ophe;ia was now finally awake . Well at the least she was moving . Her eyes were half closed but they poped wide opened when she saw GOTO destroying the snack table . A plan rose in her mind .
She didn`t even have to sneak up on GOTO for she was far too busy for hearing Ophe coming on her back . All she had to do was to walk right up to her and grab her shoulders fastly . It was enough to scare the living crap out of GOTO and pop all the goodies out of her hand .
"And how would you explain this madness ?" Ophe asked real seriously . GOTO had allready stated to think of what to tell as the answer but she didnt get that far for "How could you snack without Ophe ?" And so on went the destroyal of the snack table .

'Do we really have to do this, again? I don’t like it down there... I feel like some rabid fan girl is going to pop out of the shadows and attack me...'
'Now that would be horrid...' Ala replied to Dom's complaining. 'In order for our plan to work, we have to rewir- erm... do this...'
Ala took out the small remote control looking thing. She examined two small chip-like things, and then began to work in the box hanging on the basement wall again. Dom glanced around the room with shifty eyes. 'Will you stop worrying?' Ala asked him, putting a screwdriver to the box.
'But... you never know...' Dom said, still searching to room with his eyes.
'Okay... fine... but if we get caught, I’m blaming you... I’m not getting kicked out again. I already did for something I didn’t do. I mean, the person really did want A Taste of Death... it really is a drink... and then the wine thing again... I tell ya, I was framed...' Ala said, she went over to a small switch on the wall. She took out a pair of Dom's sunglasses and put them on. 'If I were you, I would do the same...' Ala said, handing him a pair of his own sunglasses. He eyed her oddly a bit, wondering how she got them, but then shrugged it off. Ala pumped a switch next to a dial. She pumped it twice then slowly turned the dial till it would turn no more. The basement became so light it was nearly blinding. 'Better?'
'Erm...'
'Well, now you can see all those dark corners... and no one is here... now, if you will, I have to turn it back down, I cannot work in this blinding-ness.' Ala turned the dial till it made a small click, and the room seemed even darker after the bright lights. She fiddled around with the box once more, then grabbed her things and went back up stairs.
Once behind the bar, she said, 'Well, now that I fixed the electrical system, the lights should stay on for the whole party.'
Dom eyed her oddly, knowing she wasn’t talking to him, but it was just a bluff to make up for what she was really doing to the box. They both made their way back to the table and sat down. Their presence had not been missed.
