on his mun's excitement for the movie (or: the abuse of his Save the Earth self)

[youngestone]

Right. Before we go any further, please promise that you'll give the poor other-me a rest. Right before your holidays, and you go and do that to him. Small wonder you've been miserable--it's payback! If this is how you express excitement, maybe I should be glad you've not sent me--the real me--anywhere. I'm not sure I want to know what you might've done.

[To say nothing of how weird it is, having an alternate version of yourself that is also you but just doesn't know it yet running around. He doesn't like it.]

I don't think the movie will help anything.

Mine saw it today and has been spinning around like a top in glee.

[youngestone]

...I'm both sorry for the poor bastard and happy that I'm not him, if that's true.

[sharpeyedwarf]

It's hard to tell with alternates. Or so I've been told.

Dare I ask what missfortunte has fallen upon him?

[youngestone]

His mother was killed.

[sharpeyedwarf]

[Opens his mouth and then shuts it.]

That... that is quite ... more than quite... unfortunate. That's... I don't have words for it.

[youngestone]

[He gestures because exactly!]

To be fair, she was more or less talked into it by another friend, but it was just cruel, almost.

[sharpeyedwarf]

That's a lousy excuse! She didn't have to listen to the friend!

[He doesn't think it's fair.]

[youngestone]

She says she has her "reasons" and that it will all make sense eventually. I think she just wanted to torture him. He's barely eighteen and she's gone and made him an orphan!

[sharpeyedwarf]

They always say they have their "reasons". Torture is usually the reason.

[youngestone]

A bad one.

...though still better than the goblins, I think.

[sharpeyedwarf]

... Yes. I will give you that. Less disgusting.

My mun has been glued to Tumblr.

I fear it shall only be worse from here.

[youngestone]

Oh, no. Suddenly I fear for the other me! Mine won't be going for another month and with her, a month is a long time.

[bluehooded]

Not sure I can manage the thought of two of you.

[youngestone]

And what's that supposed to mean, brother? Afraid more than one would turn you grey?

[bluehooded]

And likely kill me. Yes.

[youngestone]

Kill you? Oh, no, that would never happen. I'd miss you too much to kill you.

[bluehooded]

Miss me picking up after your mess, likely!

[Don't worry, Kili. He's not taking it seriously.]

[youngestone]

[He knows. His brother loves him too much]

Oh, picking after me? Wasn't it you who started tossing around Bilbo's china?

[bluehooded]

I picked up after myself on the occasion, thank you! After you sampled more of that Elvish wine than you should have and passed out I was the one that helped tidy!

[youngestone]

Oi, how was I to know that wine was stronger than it looked? I've never seen an Elf drunk--I thought it was mostly water!

[bluehooded]

[Sure it wasn't just the 'elf' part?]

Now you can say at least that you're a small bit wiser.

[youngestone]

[Mun hasn't seen the movie yet so mun is saying "no".

And so is Kili because. Denial.]

Only a small bit?

[bluehooded]

Just a very small bit. It grows in with your beard.

[Low blow]

[youngestone]

[Very low. He makes a face]

You know I keep it short for a reason, Fili! Uncle Thorin's isn't much longer!
