voicetesting one displeased hobbit

[sodonewithyourshit]

[finger is wagged in the scribe's direction]

Oh no no no no no. This won't do at all. I can't believe you...

Bard warned you I wouldn't like it! And did you listen to him?

This 'username' you've chosen for me, it's not respectable at all! I don't care that you think this was what my face was for the entirety of the trip to the Lonely Mountain. I am a Baggins of Bag End and This. Is. Not. Suitable.

And while we are on the subject of what else is 'not suitable' about this entire idea. If you haven't noticed, I am in the middle of something! It is not the idea of having more adventures itself that I object to, mind, in fact it would be hypocritical if I did. However, I insist you wait until I'm done with my current quest. In fact you will have to, as I am under contract!

Comments

[aduial]

[ her mouth twitches upward a trifle in amusement that is difficult to conceal completely. ]

I would comment, but it was quite impossible for me to tell while you were skulking about. Did those dwarves vex you greatly?

[ and what? ] They made you sign a contract?

[ it really takes all kinds. ]

[sodonewithyourshit]

[Bilbo's face is still in: 'displeased' mode.]

There have been several circumstances, yes.

And of course they made me sign one. They all signed one. Part of their custom I believe.

[aduial]

[ for which tauriel cannot blame him. ]

That is quite easy to believe. They are an unruly lot, to put it lightly.

I see. Odd, that they would have the forethought for that, but not to consider that angering a dragon may be a very bad idea.

[sodonewithyourshit]

Unruly yes. Bad? I wouldn't say so.

[And Bilbo scowls even more at the thought of that dragon.]

They did. It is part of the contract that they will cover any funeral expenses.

[firethroat]

Your desire to keep your word is quite honorable. [Even if Firethroat does not necessarily approve of the quest itself.] However, a slight detour would do little harm, since your scribe is unlikely to give up so easily.

Often more roads will present themselves when one is on an adventure. That is the nature of the quest.

[sodonewithyourshit]

I've been told not one could sway their scribe. Bothersome. [Bilbo huffs irritably.]

I was dragged off at a point I do not believe it wise to leave.

[firethroat]

Oh? And what point is that, might I ask?

[sodonewithyourshit]

...Smaug had just flown off to attack Laketown.

[sonof_thrain]

Master Baggins. [Yes, he's slightly smirking at your username, Bilbo.]

[sodonewithyourshit]

[Don't YOU start, this face was aimed at you most of all of all the Company]

Master Oakenshield. [There's just a touch of wariness in Bilbo's stance' he remembers your behaviour inside the Mountain.]

[sonof_thrain]

[What? He hasn't done anything against you, Bilbo. Stop overreacting. Tch. Hobbits.]

Is there a problem you wish to voice to the company?

before I go any further, is DoS spoilers okay? I saw from the profile Thorin is from end of AUJ

[sodonewithyourshit]

[Not yet, no. But you were very close to it.]

Are you going to listen if I did?

[the_solution]

I tried a similar objection with my own mundane. He does not yield to the fact that my current tasks are important, especially in comparison to being here doing nothing. I feel everyone's purposes would be better served by our return to our own places, but I have yet to see anyone sway their mun.

Still, all the luck in your own endeavor to do so. It sounds as if you were in the middle of something important yourself, sir.

[sodonewithyourshit]

It was rather important. I'm glad to find somebody here who understands!

[the_solution]

It is ridiculous and irrational how mundanes expect us to be fine with them taking us from the middle of important tasks. If it is any consolation, many of them move onto someone else rapidly. Hopefully you will be home soon, sir.

[sodonewithyourshit]

Thank you very much! I do hope the same for you!

[thebalrogslayer]

[Glorfindel is one amused elf, and unlike others he's not necessarily that good at keeping himself composed. Be glad he doesn't laugh outright.]

You will find that contracts mean little to our muns and masters, master Hobbit. As does respectability, although I'm sure those who know you better will pay little heed to how you're addressed.

[sodonewithyourshit]

[ Bilbo on the other hand is not amused.]

They should respect that my time is already spoken for and not drag me off without so much as a by your leave.

It is unfortunate that my scribe is not the only one whose been heedless.

[thebalrogslayer]

Respect is also something they seem to be lacking - or at least they show it in strange ways. You'll get back to your party in the end, hopefully just in time to prevent them from doing something very dwarvish and foolish. In the meanwhile, enjoy the break! [As much as Glorfindel loves watching Elrond, Erestor and Lindir getting driven up the wall by dwarves he can't much imagine being stuck with them on a quest.]

[sodonewithyourshit]

I...I think I am already too late. We have already done something irrevocable...

[The dragon weighs on Bilbo's mind. They've driven Smaug out of Erebor, but now it's headed towards Laketown...how many people will die under dragonfire AGAIN? Part of it is Bilbo's fault...he woke the dragon after all...]

But I thank you for your kind words, Master Elf.

I'm sorry.

[stoorloser]

THIEF!

don't be

[sodonewithyourshit]

[oh dear oh dear oh dear]

[Bilbo draws sting clumsily.]

Let us be calm here! This is no place for fights or wild accusations!

I'm sorry too for thread jumping, but it just looked too perfect.

[doesnotsimply]

Excuse me, master hobbit, but is this... creature bothering you?

[Boromir's sword is half drawn from its scabbard.]

No sorrys accepted here, because this is indeed perfect!

[sodonewithyourshit]

[this is interesting, this Man actually called him a hobbit, not a halfling]

[and back to the matter at hand, that Gollum is still hissing at Bilbo threateningly. He keeps his sword out, aimed at Gollum of course.]


Oh! Er.. Gollum here and I are just having a...slight! yes, very slight difference of opinion! So long as he keeps his distance, none of us will have to be nasty here!

<3!

[stoorloser]

You steals it from us! You comes in the dark, and you takes it away! [ the last word sounds like a sob ]
