One Ring. Accidental Voice

[spiderbait]

Sam? Samwise Gamgee?

... What an awful mistake I've made. Things all went black, and a sharp pain filled me, deep in my back and heart and encompassed me whole. This place, it isn't the place I left. This is not the tunnel, not even the mountain pass.

This strange book, and these strange wings... what has happened to me? More aches, pains unfamiliar, are stuck in me, now. They run not as deep, but are strong enough for remembering. My task... no guide, no companion, my Sam... not even the voice in my head to give me any guide. The weight of the eye is gone, but now what am I to do?

Sam, oh Sam, I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry...

I believe I will be fine. I have been lost so much, I believe I might just know how to tell when I'm not.

Co...necticut? I have never heard of such a land nor town. Though, I suppose that is to be expected, at this point.

[harthad.livejournal.com]

I've been given some guidance and I believe I will be fine to find the village. It is a simple thing, at least, without far to get lost.

[harthad.livejournal.com]

It is still hard to believe, no matter how many times I am hearing it, now.

... Nothing but old aches, now. I do not know how it might have healed. It is possible I've dreamed it... I can hardly tell, anymore.

[harthad.livejournal.com]

I thought I was... but my body is merely very sore, miss.

[intangible-girl.livejournal.com]

I haven't met anyone from my world yet either. Though they say it happens sometimes. I'm kind of hoping someone I know shows up here, if only for company.

[harthad.livejournal.com]

I hope that she speaks the truth...

I've decided to find it on my own. There's no sense to burdening yourself.

I...study lots of things. Books, History, Math, all the usual stuff everyone learns. But what am I? I'm a guy, a human being? What does that make you then? are you not a human? And as for the wings, they...just kinda grow on everyone. DON'T mess with them too much, without them you die, and they get hurt pretty easily.

[blinks for a second, remembering his childhood]

No...your pictures are kinda small, like something I read about in a book when I was a kid. Are...you a Hobbit? Like...um...whats his name? Bil..do? Bilno? Bilbo? I...can't remember exactly...

[A soft chuckle at that.]

It sounds like you've traveled quite a bit in the name of your task. I'm sorry that will be postponed, but perhaps a break will do you good.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

That's one good thing at least. I'm Aerith. Has anyone told you what's going on yet?

When one comes to you, use the journal to reach me. For now, perhaps some time to think...?

Luceti is a remarkably...cyclical sort of place, yes.

[Voice]

[harthad.livejournal.com]

H... how...

I-Is he here? Is Bilbo Baggins in this village?

[voice]

[harthad.livejournal.com]

Some time to think... yes, that would be good, for now.

[Voice]

[harthad.livejournal.com]

... I suppose it to be good, that I might be able to prepare for these events.

[Voice]

[harthad.livejournal.com]

So long as you all speak the truth about the passing of time... it... I feel it would be good for me, right now. I wish that my companion were here. I feel he needs a time to rest far more than I do.

[harthad.livejournal.com]

I can understand. With the right company, you can face many a challenge.

[harthad.livejournal.com]

I have been imparted bits and pieces, but I imagine the rest will fall upon me quickly.

[gekkoukanclown.livejournal.com]

Do you know Bilbo then?
[this guy is really odd....]
I...read about a little guy named Bilbo in a book when I was in school. I don't think he's in the village though. Oh, if...nobody has explained it, you aren't in your world anymore. This is kind of...a place between time where people from every world get stuck, so...your friend Bilbo could very well be the same person from my book.

Does...that make any sense at all?

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

It can help, yes.

...where are you? Can you see the village at all?

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Well, it's possible that he might join you. When I first arrived, there were already several familiar faces from home. Mine isn't a unique case, either.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

You can always ask for help if you need it. We were all new once.

[Voice]

[harthad.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, I do.

How-- how on earth could you read of him? He hasn't completed his book yet... I have heard no stories of him, not really.

... Not much, I'm afraid.

[harthad.livejournal.com]

I've reached a river. I'm following it, hopefully the right way. A man named Sigmund told me of what to look for to find my way.

[Voice]

[harthad.livejournal.com]

I know it may be selfishness, given the nature of this place, if I am to be understanding it right, but... I also know Sam would not be happy if I have gone somewhere without him. So, I'll keep hope.
