~*Imladris Christmas Party*~

[Lossentilien]

Lossie took a last drink from her little bottle. As she stepped to the mike, the music started. She put a hand on the mike to steady herself, as absinthe does not make for very good balance. She pushed her hair out her eyes and began to sing. Yet again.
And the song went thusly;

The 14 Days of Hobbit Day
Parody of: The 12 Days of Christmas

On the ____ day of Hobbit Day my Hobbit gave to me...
- 14 Valar watching
- 13 Dwarves a-wand'ring
- 12 dozen guests
- 11 mithril treasures
- 10 Rangers roaming
- Eowyn, Nazgul-slaying
- 8 Elf-maids singing
- 7 Stars and Stones
- 6 ships a-sailing
- 5 Unnamed Rings!
- 4 Hobbits on a Quest
- 3 Elven-rings
- 2 hairy feet
And a seedling of the White Tree!

There were many Imladris members who sang along to this song, possibly aided by the vast supply of drink on offer. Lossie flashed a smile before shouting over them. "Well, I'm glad to see so many fellow members in such a fine mood! It's wonderful to see you all getting into the spirit of things!" One of the members held up a glass of what was most likely vodka, and shouted back- "Indeed we are" Lossie rolled her eyes playfully, and glanced back at nil, before continuing. "Well then, if you'll please find yourselves a place, and we shall begin the next dance!"
The music to 'Rock around the Christmas Tree began to play as people jumped out their seats, and fought for space on the dancefloor.

[Niluial]

Niluial sang along to Lossie’s beautiful song and enjoyed it. She looked into the crowd ‘twas a sad site. Many of the hobbits stood there looking very tipsy others looking horrible drunk. Some were holding glasses of alcohol others were holding bottles of alcohol. Once the song finished everyone found a place on the dance floor, around the Christmas tree. The music began to play and the drunken crowd went wild. ‘Twas funny to see how all of the Imladris members danced. It was supposedly called dancing but Nilly wasn’t too sure. She couldn’t dance that well either but then again the song was wild and free and no one was watching Nilly anyway.

[Istawen Aeros]

A lone girl tiptoed through the door and hugged a friendly wall. She had come in late, as usual, and she didn't know a lot of the people here. Sure she knew Niluial and Elentari and maybe was acquainted with a few others...the girl shrugged.

The girl's name was Istawen, but was more commonly known as Immy, and she eyed a plate of chocolate wistfully, and resolutely turned her hazel eyes away. A girl broke into song about hobbits and Valar watching, and she tapped her foot to the beat.

Many of the members were dancing, and she enjoyed watching them, but preferred her leaning place against the wall. It was such a comfortable wall, so soft and white.

[Alatáriel]

Ala saw a newcommer arrived. She leaned against the walls. Ala hated the white walls. She was going to paint them something different for the next party. Something... Travis-y... Travis wallpaper... yes... muahaha!

Ala took out a small remote control type thing... 'The trakie,' she said snickering. She switched the button to on and it suddenly flew across the table and stuck to Billy. He jumped at the flying object. Ala nearly fell off her chair laughing. Dom and Billy both looked at each other, then to Ala, then to Mip, who suddenly cracked up. Mip switched the trakie to off and handed it back to Ala, who pocketed that one and took out another one. It was of the same shape, but had different types of controls.

Ala turned a knob and suddenly the room went really dim. A few peeps gasped.

[Mippin]

Mippin grabbed her own remote control and whacked it, and the lights flickered off completely, leaving the room pitch-black. 'Well, that's more like it.' Mip saw a few things glowing..like the damned faeries. She muttered and threw black paint towards them. Mip's trackie went off. beep...beep...beep beep beep beepbeepbeepbeep!!! it threatened her. 'Well, I wonder which one that is..' she listened, and took the beeping object out of her pocket. It led her straight to the subject, and then Mip silenced it. Mip held the trackie close, as it contacted the subject.

'Hello. Mind saying something? Anything you like would be fine.' Mip asked the subject. A reply could be heard. 'What would you like me to say?'

Mip nodded, and could tell who it was by their voice. She turned off the trackie, and put it in one of her many pockets. 'Well, now that that's been sorted out...we might as well go plan. Come along, dear Billy.' Mip said as she walked casually back to her station of DJ-like duties.

[Alatáriel]

Ala smiled to herself as the room went pitch black. She could sense Dom's fondling side tingling. Not again, she thought to herself. Must... get... away... from... plants. Ala quickly made her way behind the bar. She tied Dom to the bar stool so he wouldn't do anything drastic, and awaited the next part of their plan.

She took out two small pairs of goggles and stuck on on Dom (him being tied to the barstool, he wasnt able to put them on himself) and the other pair on herself. She noticed Mip doing something odd behind the DJ Station. Dom's fondling tingling senses went down a bit. Though he was eyeing something in the corner. Ala untied him and walked over to Mippin.

[Elentari the Second]

Elentari (II) watches the newcomer enter and sees her take her place against the wall, observing the others, tapping her foot in time to the song.

Making her way around the room she comes to a stand in front of the girl.

"Hello. I am Elentari the Second. And you are?"

[OOC: December has flown by way too fast for my liking. If you guys already didn't know, I had my fourteenth on the fourteenth. Congrats on your avatar, Immy - I've been planning to change my account screen to the same pic. And there's a pirate thingy down by the beach on New Year's. I'm going...

Season's greetings!!]

[OOC: Good idea, Tari.]

[Elentari]

OOC: Just to make things easier with two Elentaris, refer to me as "Tari"

[Istawen Aeros]

Immy glanced at the newcomer and said, "Oh. I'm usually called Immy. But there's two Elentaris?" She frowned: this could become confusing to say the least.

"Oh, Elentari the first is called Tari," she replied with a broad smile.

Without a word of warning, darkness descended, shrouding the lights with his pitch black mantle. In the distance a mocking laughter was heard, or it could have been the overactive imagination of a writer's brain. It was unnerving to have the light flee without a moment's notice. The hair tingled upon Immy's neck as flashes of former nightmares flitted by her. Resolutely she pushed them away and asked, " Does this happen often here?"

OOC: Thank you Elentari II!

[Elentari the Second]

"I'm not sure, Immy. I don't come here often enough, and recently I haven't been paying close attention to the goings on in here. But I think I can safely say that this is fairly unusual. And as for the name thing - I came to the Barrowdowns after Elentari Greenleaf, and we fought for the name for quite a while, insulting each other Gollum style, but in the end I found I didn't care enough to continue. So Elentari became known as 'The Insane' and 'The First' and recently as 'Tari', while I've been called Elentari the Second for a long, long time now."

The murmers and exclamations of the other party-goers became louder, and Elentari called out. "What in Middle-earth is going on, Tari?"

[OOC: You're welcome Immy. And Dragoneyes - I know this should be in the POTC thread, but I don't have time to post there atm - there's a couple of good Norrington fics by Marvel on fanfiction.]

[ElberethVarda]

Elbereth gasped as the room was plunged into darkness. What's going on? she wondered, frightened.

Suddenly, she felt someone, or something, clutch her arm. She sucked in her breath, and tried not to scream. "Firi, get Orli off of me!" Elbereth said resolutely. She felt the grip on her arm recede. "Sorry," apologized Firi. Elbereth heard her begin to scold him. She turned her attention away from them, and to the lights.

Ah. Now I know who it was.

[Mippin]

Mip put on sunglasses, yes sunglasses, and saw Ala coming towards her. 'Hullo Ala!' she said cheerfully as she put in a record and acted like nothing was wrong in the least. Mip walked around, came out of her station of DJ-Like power, and walked around Ala and Dom a few times. 'What are you doing?' Ala asked her. Mip stopped and squinted at them. 'Nothing, hope you don't mind, eh?' she said tilting her head in some sort of suggestive manner she was sure no one would ever understand except her and maybe her multiple personalities. Ala blinked at her. 'It's in the plan, Ala...look at the map. There are spiders...' Mip said in response to the blinking.

Mip dragged Billy off and they walked away, in the darkness. 'You aren't in any chance arachnaphobic, are you?' she asked him. He looked at her strangely. 'Well, I'd think by now you'd be used to it, but I'm just making sure.' she continued, again Billy blinked. 'You didn't take Witchitar, did you?' he asked her. Mip stopped and looked at Billy. She gasped.

'How can you think such a thing?! I would never take Witchitar!' she said in a harsh whisper. Billy gave her a funny look. 'Well, you took something.' he said.

Mip tilted her head and resumed walking towards the back of the stage.

'What did you take?' Billy pressed on.

Mip said nothing, but came towards a fairly large box. She took something out of her pocket, and stuck it in the box. 'I didn't take anything, I just borrowed it...'

'Without permission?'

'Well, yes. But still...'

They looked into the box to see a bunch of spiders, the edges of the boxes were covered in webs. Mip picked a spider up, and began stroking it. She studied it closely. 'Perfect! Haha! They're all just perfect!' she said as she went up on the stage, and let the spiders loose. They began crawling around, and soon were crawling up peoples' legs, and resting on their shoulders, and naturally...the reply was the room being filled with shrieks and shrills. Music to Mip's ears.

'Aren't those spiders a bit dangerous?' Billy asked.

'You know, you ask too many questions for a person who has been stuck to me before...' she replied, handing him a piece of paper. He read it.

'Of course.'

Mip grinned and dashed back to the DJ station, and switched albums.

[Alatáriel]

Suddenly a giant spider crawled towards Dom. He screeched and jumped on top of the bar. Ala grumbled and sat down next to him. He eyed the spider e-villy, causing his eye to suddenly twitch. 'Dom, you really should know by now...'

'Know what?' Dom said with shifty eyes.

Ala sighed. 'Look... at... the... thing.'

'Thing?'

'The map, you idiot!' Ala screamed at him. A few people looked in their direction, but were soon distracted by the spiders.

'Erm... right...o...' Dom said. After a few moments, he took his eyes off the spider and took out a piece of paper.

'So, now do you get it?' Ala asked him. She got her squeaky penguin ready.

Dom paused for a moment. 'Y-yes...'

'Okay... good... take this anyways... its a step-by-step process.' Ala said, she handed him another sheet. A spider had made its way up the counter. Dom began to stutter incoherently. 'What now?'

He pointed to the spider. Ala picked it up into her hand and gently tossed it across the room. 'Better?'

Dom nodded and studied the paper.

[Lostdaliel]

Lostdaliel smiled. An award! Having only joined recently, she hadn't expected to get an one, and was the teensiest bit shocked when her name was called. She grinned again, and went off in search of a snack.


(I suppose I really ought to pay better attention, hmm?)

[Niluial]

Niluial hissed the party was too much of a mess. She glared at Mippin and Alatariel “those trouble makers” she said to herself. She walked backwards and bumped into Lossie. Lossie yelled and fell to the floor in pain “my foot!” Niluial panicked and sat next to Lossie. There was only a little blood nothing to worry about just a small cut. Niluial pulled Lossie up and they both walked onto the stage. Lossie stood aside and Niluial tapped on the microphone “hello?” she paused “is this thing working?” The microphone made a loud peep and all the people in the hall moaned and groaned while blocking their ears. “Well I am handing out another Imie so would everyone be kind and take a seat” Niluial watched the crowd find there places.

Niluial took a deep breath and read her small crumpled up paper “Ahem” she paused. “Avatars mean a lot to us, it is an identification. One is always looking for a new or better one. Some of us have better taste in avatars then others, others make there own amazing avatars or make ones for another. Many have said they picture other members to look like what their avatars look like. So it is a very good idea to get a good looking avatar! So many members have great taste in avatars that the award had to be a tie! The winners of Member with the best avatar Imie award for 2004 is in no special order Lossentilien, Mippin and The Elf Chick!” Niluial smiled and held three shinning trophies in the air. The crowd cheered and were pleased to see so many winning a award!
