*is woken late at night by one of his aides and told that there have been a number of unauthorised landings at the airstrip*

*gets out of bed in a hurry and pulls on a dressing gown*

*makes his way across to his office and turns on the television*

*sees a series of very familiar faces flash up on the screen as being wanted in Delving for a variety of offences*

*gapes* Cáno. Cáno? Turco, Curvo, Moryo, less surprising.

...

Nelyo. What have you done?


*to his aide* *sharply* I want them escorted here straight away.

*arrives in, trying to look as composed as she can in her stockinged feet and with her brother's blood on her hands*

*grimly* Has the news broken?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/11/2007 17:23:36  

*wheels around to look at you* The news? The news? The news that the bloodiest jailbreak in the history of Órë has just taken place?
From: [info]maidros Date: 08/11/2007 17:24:38  

*takes a fistful of tissues from the box on your desk and starts to wipe at her hands* It wasn't meant to be that messy. Boys got a little trigger-happy is all.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/11/2007 17:26:16  

*with disbelief* A little trigger-happy? There are two marchwardens in a critical condition, three more were shot and another was found looking distinctly roughed up in one of the cells. It was carnage!
From: [info]maidros Date: 08/11/2007 17:27:56  

So there was some collateral damage. No one's dead I think. Cáno's free.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/11/2007 17:29:54  

Some collateral damage?! Free? How naive are you, Russandol? Do you really expect that a pile of extradition papers aren't going to land on my desk first thing in the morning?!
From: [info]maidros Date: 08/11/2007 17:43:20  

*coolly* Then we'll deal with them as they arise. Mind if I use your phone?

*reaches for the telephone on your desk in order to ring Celegorm to be updated about Curufin's state*
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/11/2007 17:44:44  

*plucks the receiver out of your hand and puts it back on the cradle* No, Russandol. You are not incriminating this office.
From: [info]moryo Date: 08/11/2007 18:00:19  

*bursts in, having deposited Maglor on a couch outside, in the capable hands of one of Fingon's medical staff*

Nelyo! Any news from Curvo? Oh, hi, 'káno. Long time, no see.
From: [info]maidros Date: 08/11/2007 18:40:00  

*barely looks at you* Incriminating this office? What do you mean by that, Findekáno? You're the King of the Noldor, aren't you?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/11/2007 19:55:45  

I'm the law-abiding King of the law-abiding Noldor, yes. Under no circumstances will I make a major diplomatic incident even worse by sheltering criminals.
From: [info]moryo Date: 08/11/2007 19:57:53  

*looks at you with surprise* Right. Where's Findekáno and what have you done with him?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/12/2007 04:36:22  

I do not have the time for your ill-advised attempts at humour, Carnistir.

*sinks down on to his chair* *picks up a pencil* *snaps it* Start talking. One of you.
From: [info]moryo Date: 08/12/2007 04:48:31  

*shrugs* What? It all went according to plan, mostly, 'cept there was more shooting than we'd expected. Shit happens.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/12/2007 04:50:59  

*echoes you faintly* Shit. Happens. Right. You can stay quiet.

*turns to Maedhros* What happened? Whose damn fool plan was this?
From: [info]maidros Date: 08/12/2007 04:53:34  

My plan, 'káno. The marchwardens put up more of a fight than we were expecting. The plan was just to get in, get Cáno out and be in Hísilómë before Thingol knew what had happened.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/12/2007 06:33:12  

*with frank amazement* And I thought you were the diplomatic one! Honestly, Russandol! Did you not stop and think?
From: [info]maidros Date: 08/12/2007 08:14:12  

*draws herself up to her full height which isn't that impressive but will do while you're sitting down* I might be diplomatic but Thingol certainly isn't! We didn't have any choice. It was for Cáno, 'káno. Don't you get that? What've it had been Turv-- Íris-- well-- the point is, it had to be done.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/12/2007 08:23:37  

*stands up to his full height which is now very impressive in comparison with you* *leans forward over his desk*

I might be diplomatic but Thingol certainly isn't!

*hisses*

Why do you think I appointed Findaráto in Delving? She knows how to handle Thingol and you didn't even give her a chance!

We didn't have any choice.

Don't be ridiculous, Russandol. This isn't like the old days. We're mortal now. Eru, there are rules.
From: [info]tyelcormo Date: 08/12/2007 03:33:26  

*rings your number in-flight after a close escape from Delving (thanks to Elrond keeping up the ruse)*

*vaguely wonders what sort of shit Elrond's going to be in for when Thingol realizes he's been played*
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/12/2007 04:35:21  

*picks up the phone without looking at the called ID*

*barks* Yes!
From: [info]tyelcormo Date: 08/12/2007 10:56:17  

*in a no-nonsense tone* Turco here, 'kano. We're landing in five minutes. Send a doctor and a stretcher for Curvo.





Please.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/12/2007 12:08:41  

I should tell that bloody pilot to take you back where you came from.

*hangs up* *buzzes through to Margaret* -- Yes. I know it's the middle of the night. Send medics and an ambulance down to the airstrip. -- Thanks.
From: [info]tyelcormo Date: 08/12/2007 12:28:42  

*carefully gets Curufin situated once they land and hopes moving him hasn't complicated anything*

*gets in the ambulance and is escorted to your complex and a room for Curvo to recover in*

*doesn't bother going to look for any of you but just sits at his bedside*
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/12/2007 13:40:27  

*comes in to see Curufin after speaking to Fingon and very quickly checking her voicemail* *ambarussa ♥ ♥ ♥!!*

*could not possibly have prepared herself for the sight of you* ...Tyelco?
From: [info]tyelcormo Date: 08/12/2007 13:42:50  

*has nodded off, slumped awkwardly in his chair, the fingers of one hand curled around Curufin's wrist as if to reassure himself there's still a pulse*

*stirs slightly at the sound of your voice* Mum?
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/12/2007 13:45:32  

*comes over and sits on the edge of the bed*

*strokes your hair* I'm absolutely going to kill all of you but You were very resourceful, darling. Thank Eru you're all right. Why don't you go on and get cleaned up now?
From: [info]tyelcormo Date: 08/12/2007 13:48:25  

*glances at Curufin and thinks about arguing*

*looks back at you*




Yes, all right. *gets up and trudges off to find a shower before you can say anything else*
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/12/2007 13:53:46  

*turns her attention to Curufin* *leans down to kiss his forehead before taking his hand and squeezing it gently*

*can't quite get over how deathly pale he looks*
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/12/2007 12:39:27  

*is shown in an hour or two after everyone else has arrived*

Findekáno, sweetheart, I'm so sorry about all this. I had no idea. *comes over to give you a hug and a kiss* Is everyone here and accounted for? Did they get Macalauë out all right?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/12/2007 12:45:53  

*automatically* Aunt Nerdanel. Lovely to see you.

*sinks back down into his chair* They're all here. Russandol is sulking in her room. Cáno's probably sleeping. Turco's with Curvo. Eru knows where Moryo is. I assume he's still within the city limits.
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/12/2007 12:52:54  

Cáno's probably sleeping. Turco's with Curvo.

*just about dies of relief* *somberly* I don't suppose there's any point in my making them leave now? It's all going to come down on your head anyway, I imagine.

Where is Atarincë? Is he going to be all right? I'd like to see him.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/12/2007 13:16:32  

Yes, Nerdanel. It will all come down on my head and, if we're very unlucky, on the heads of the innocent Noldor of Hísilómë.

Atarincë should be fine. My doctors tell me that a major artery was nicked but that it's been patched up pretty well. He's lost a kidney but apparently we only need one of those. It'll be a long road to recovery but he's a tough kid.
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/12/2007 13:21:24  

*hasn't really let herself think about Curufin's injuries until now*

*shakes her head sadly* If there's anything I can do, Findekáno...speak to Thingol...I don't know what. You kids have always been like my own children.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/12/2007 13:32:03  

*helplessly* I'm not sure there's anything I can do.
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/12/2007 13:36:44  

*gently* Don't despair, dear. *squeezes your arm* We'll think of something. If I have to drag them back by their ears to do time then I guess that's just what I'll have to do.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/12/2007 19:11:03  

We can only hope that Thingol will be that forgiving. Perhaps Findaráto will have managed to diffuse the issue somewhat. *shakes his head* Oh, where are my manners. You'll be wanting to see your children. And you must want tea or something at this stage.
From: [info]mahtaniel Date: 08/12/2007 19:19:43  

*handwaves* You needn't bring out the formalities for me, love. *smiles warmly* I'm just your auntie after all.

*nods* I would very much like to see for myself that Atarincë's all right, though. Not that I disbelieve you, of course, dear. It's a mother-y thing.
