Mun watched LOTR to wake up her Boromir muse. ...oops?

[greypilgrim]

Well hello there! My, my. I don't imagine that you were expecting me to show up after all this time. Why, we haven't talked since you were a young girl!

[He sits back, pulls out his pipe-case and opens it, pulling out one of his long-stemmed pipes and his jar of Longbottom Leaf. He packs the bowl calmly, then summons a spark from his finger to set it alight. He takes a long, meditative puff before speaking again.]

The question is, what are we to do now?

Comments

[umgekehrt]

Well, you've got soothing leaf and something to light it with. I'd say you're halfway there.

[greypilgrim]

Yes, the Hobbits are quite skilled at growing pipe-weed. I don't suppose you'd care to join me?

[umgekehrt]

I'm not usually one for lefrolls but I've partaken. Don't mind if I do.

[sharpsuitfluffytail]

[Drinks, pinky up, and just watches the whole process. He never learned it was rude to stare.]

...Aren't you a little old for the party drugs? Okay, the pipe is a bit classier than some of the other methods I've seen, I'll give you that. But the question still stands.

[Asks the half-pup still addicted to caffeine. Obviously.]

[greypilgrim]

Well, I certainly hope not. [He blows a slow series of smoke rings.] If that is true I am likely too old for anything!

[sharpsuitfluffytail]

[And he'll wave away those smoke rings and look insulted by their mere presence. Gross.]

You're the one who said it, not me. So it's not insulting if I agree, right?

[keeps_count]

Oh, I'm sure that you and your mundane will find somewhere suitable, Gandalf.

[greypilgrim]

Legolas! Well, this is a nice surprise. How are you doing?

There are rumors that I might be needed somewhere, but preparations will need to be made. Odd how she chose this particular part of my life to draw me from, but...I am hardly complaining.

I have to admit that I was half tempted to use bitty!Legolas for this

[keeps_count]

Well enough, I suppose, for all that my mundane puts me though.

You are a great help, no matter what point in your life you come from, Mithrandir.

[moonlit_star]

It is strange how sometimes we are suddenly remembered. But you seem quite at home despite being forgotten so long ago.

[greypilgrim]

Not forgotten. She got shy about playing me. Thought she wasn't good enough or some ridiculous nonsense. Muns get so timid about the silliest things, don't you find?

[moonlit_star]

Indeed I do, even if things don't always go well, better to at least have tried and had the experience of it.

[quicktoanger]

"Not to be a shameless fanboy or anything, but I think I'm actually more excited than my mun to meet you, Gandalf."

[greypilgrim]

"Well. It's always nice to have my fame precede me in a positive way. What is your name?"

[quicktoanger]

"Harry Dresden. Wizard. I've pretty much spent the majority of my adult life trying to be like you."

A beat.

"... Not so much with the facial hair."

[pipeweed]

Gandalf! It's good to see you around here.

[greypilgrim]

Is that a Brandybuck I spy? Hullo, hullo! Gone wandering far from the Shire again, I see.

[let_me_loose]

You harbor no dislike for the prison she has made for you?

[greypilgrim]

No, great lord, for I do not find it to be a prison. I greatly enjoy the company of the children of Men and all those who inhabit this place, and as for keeping company with her...well, I imagine I will have no small amount of influence over her decisions on where I go. She's had a wide-eyed crush on me since she was a tiny girl, after all.

[theburglar]

How could anyone forget you, Gandalf?

[greypilgrim]

Not forgotten so much as...put up on too much of a pedestal, I think. I'm not so terribly intimidating, am I Bilbo?

[He unscrews the lid of the pipeweed jar and offers it.]

[theburglar]

[Bilbo doesn't respond at first. Instead, he takes his pipe out of his pocket and fills it with a bit of weed from the jar.]

Sometimes. A bit.

[master_of_magnet]

[Just stare. Why do you have my face, wizard?]

[greypilgrim]

...

[He peers at the strange fellow and tugs his beard. Then the corners of his eyes crinkle and he lets out a delighted chuckle.]

Well now. This is most unusual. Hello there!

[master_of_magnet]

[Erik, however, is not quite as delighted.]

Most unusual. Given your attire, I'm going to assume you're not another clone, which begs the question... who - or what - are you, and why do you have my face?
