13 hours in a theater for a lotr marathon and this happens

[tossme]

Lass, finding me a home will be no easy task, but I suppose you're going to go through with it anyway. Just remember that my ax is always ready for a fight. I want to be near the action so don't go sending me to some quiet and pretty place. I'm not an elf.

And don't send me to a place with that pointy ear. No, I don't fear him! But he's not going to outdo this dwarf! [He frowns.]

Comments

[pipeweed]

Well, how are we supposed to know if the one with the pointy ear could outdo you if your lady mundane doesn't send you to a place with him?

[genie_lady]

You are a dwarf?! How wonderful! I have heard stories about you. [Jeannie says, delighted]

[tossme]

He can't, laddie. I've outdone him every time. [Well, not every time, but Merry doesn't need to know this.] No need for a demonstration.

[icetrails]

You're scared of an elf? The cute little stupid ones? [This kid here is laughing at you, Gimli, sorry about that; he sounds half-disbelieving and extremely entertained. And he may or may not be thinking of a completely different kind of elf, but. You know.]

[tossme]

Aye, I am. What have you heard about me exactly?

[tossme]

Little? Elves aren't little. [He scoffs.] I'm not afraid of them either.They're not so tough.

why hello

[tofindthesun]

Is my company so unpleasant, Master Dwarf? I can be noisy if you do not prefer silence.

[read: singing like a banshee.]

[genie_lady]

You know, the sort of stories that are passed around. [She's grown up with lots of storytelling, mostly myths and legends.] Small men who live under the ground or under a bridge. [She looks thoughtful.] You are much larger than I thought you would be.

[icetrails]

You ever even seen one? They're tiny! Like little bunnies, 'cept I think they bite. [Still laughing. They definitely aren't thinking of the same elves] So... if you aren't scared of 'em why bother mentioning it? Seems suspicious.

hello darling

[tossme]

No, not at all. [A pause.] You provide decent company...when you're not trying to be the best at everything. [He grins.]

[tossme]

[Gimli raises an eyebrow.] Laddie, I think you've had a bit too much ale. You don't know what you're talking about.

I only mentioned it because my lady mundane believes I fear 'em. I don't. I won't say it again.

Because she had to

[onebadapple]

Oh now! I'm sure everyone will want you to be with them in a game!

[tossme]

[He stands a bit straighter.] Oh, is that so? Well, we do live in mines, but not under bridges.

[A pause.] Much larger? Do the stories say we're tiny?

[genie_lady]

I thought for certain there was a story about a bridge... [She shrugs] No matter.

Very short, yes. [She puts her hands together with a formal bow] Pleased to meet you, sahib dwarf. I am the Jeannie of the bottle.

adfadfsdf <3

[tossme]

Of course they will! We dwarves are always good to have around when there's a fight.

<3 Hello ^^

[onebadapple]

Well! Not just when there's a fight of course! For fun, and trying new recipes, and mining of course!

AWW YEAHHhhhh

[ringbearer]

[ if anything he looks amused, but delighted to see him just the same. ]

Are you certain you wouldn't like to see him, Gimli?

[tossme]

Perhaps you've been listening to the wrong stories.

[He bows slightly.] The pleasure is all mine, my lady. I am Gimli, son of Gloin.

Jeannie of the bottle? [He's not sure if she's trying to make a joke or not.] What bottle if you don't mind me asking?

[genie_lady]

Perhaps, they are quite old stories. Things may have been added to them.

[She brightens, folding her arms on each other and blinking twice. In an instant, her bottle appears in his hands.] This bottle.

:D

[tossme]

New recipes you say? Well, this dwarf certainly enjoys food and wouldn't mind trying a new recipe or two. One must eat hearty in addition to living dangerously.

:DDDD

[tossme]

No, of course not, Master Baggins. [Well, perhaps a little but argh he's not going to admit it. No.] Why would I?

[onebadapple]

And I do just that for my dwarfs back home! They love eating my cooking!

[tossme]

[Gimli stares at the bottle for a second.] You live in this bottle? Are you a wizard? I've never seen a lady wizard before.

[genie_lady]

[She laughs gaily at the question.] Oh no, I have told you. I am a genie. [Play on words, Jeannie = genie.] I grant the wishes of others.

[icetrails]

Hey! I know exactly what I'm talking about; I've seen 'em. So are dwarves kind like the Leprechaun or what? You kinda have the same short and beardy thing going on. [Sorry Gimli teasing is in his nature]
