One Ring. Accidental Voice

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...

(OOC: hope you don't mind, just figured I'd try tagging people outside my cast)

Um...are you ok? If you need some help, or you're hurt, I can come get you...

This... it speaks...

State your name. Who are you? Who would be way out here but us?

Yes. It does speak. It surprised me the first time too.

My name is Junpei. Junpei Iori. I'm a student who's stuck here the same as you. Don't worry, I'm not out to hurt you or anything. I'm just...you know...a dude?

What's your name bro? Are you OK? Not hurt or anything are you? And who is Sam? Does he need help?

[A deep voice. Authoritative, and perhaps a bit bored, but not unkind.]

I fear your task is postponed.

[ This is all a bit troubling. ]

A student? Of what? If I may ask, what are you?

[ From what he has heard, so far, his name has not traveled around. But, he's still so wary. ] I am... I am merely a traveler who has lost his companion. I believe myself to be fine, but these wings... how did these come about?

Postponed? But, we haven't the time for such things. Has something happened? Please, give me the news.

You'll find time abundant here.

You've been taken, to a place known as Luceti. As have the rest of us - do not take me for your captor.

Then, who are you? How are we here? If what you say is true, this place must be covered in some Elvish enchantment...

Welcome to Luceti.

...I know it's hard, but it would be a very good idea not to panic.

[Cue instant concern.]

Do you need healing?

How, I could not say. As for who, I am called Sigmund. What do you see around you?

... Mm... [ He will have to be careful with the Ring here. This is all too suspicious for him, anymore. ]

Trees, grass... there is much more green than my eyes have seen in quite a time.

I am trying, but there is much to keeping my calm, right now. I am almost lucky to be so tired...

Yes, I heard as much. Sounds as though the Malnosso pulled you over at the worst possible time.

You have my deepest sympathies, of course.

N-No... it seems the pain I suffered-- it must have been fashioned by my mind... I was so certain I was...

How stupid... I may have spoken too much without thinking. I...

I-I thank you, sir. I have this feeling, a dreadful one, and it is strange but I must ask-- Is this land in Middle Earth? Where have I gone to?

The journals turn themselves on of their own volition, at times. Usually in the middle of a crisis like a first arrival or being returned from a kidnapping.

I'll apologize for eavesdropping, though.

And I'm sorry, but you're not in your own world anymore. I don't know where "Middle Earth" is, but it isn't here.

This place is called Luceti.

There is a village, although from that description I cannot say in which direction. If you walk the wrong way, you'll find only the barrier.

I suppose I am not yet so tired that I can't find my way there. I have walked this much... I will find my way. Is there anything that might mark the way?

Kidnapping, sir?

Is there a chance this land is that of the Elves, then? My apologies, but... this isn't making much sense. Is it perhaps that I'm dead?

[Oh. Her. Gosh.

Ohhergosh. Ingrid can put two and two together. And she was always an avid reader...]

Fr- [No. No, wait. If this is the real Frodo, and she has been assured such a thing is possible, then saying his name without having been introduced would probably freak him out. Ah.... what to do?]

Hello.

[Frodo might hear a small *smack* as she facepalms rather violently.]

You would know better than I would.

There are some villagers here who have died in their own worlds. But it certainly isn't compulsory.

And while there are probably a few elves in town, this isn't their world. It isn't really anyone's world, except the Malnosso's.

[ Saying Frodo's name at this point would surely freak him the hell out, right now. That voice is... a softer greeting. Not so heavy, not so troubling, in its simplicity. He isn't unappreciative of it. ]

... Good afternoon?

Ah- [Quick! Think of something clever to say!] Good afternoon.

[No no no no! What is that line? About a morning to be good on? Argh, she can't remember. That's all you're getting for now, Frodo.]

One river flows south from the mountains and through the village to a lake. Another flows west from the village, to another lake. If you see farmland, you're to the northeast. If you cannot walk it, you should ask for aid.
