*thinks that it is time to sit down and take stock of things*

*sleep? who needs sleep?!*

*paces around his office, muttering to himself and leaving a trail of broken pencils behind him*

Right. We have the entire Fëanorian branch of the family in residence, except Turco, who seems to have buggered off we'll just thank Eru for small mercies. Thingol wants them all dead or nuked or a happy combination of the two. My duty -- my duty is to my people. The Fëanorians, whether any of us like it or not, are my people. Why did I agree to this king thing again? I wonder if Findaráto knows whether Thingol really does have any Weapons of Mass Destruction well, he does have a Vala in charge of the army so that counts as a 'yes' We need to get them out of Hísilómë while we try to talk Thingol down. That will at least draw the fire away from the Noldor here. Turvo, could really do with Turvo's cooperation on this one. No one actually knows where Ondolindë is, after all. Refusing to let them be extradited is easy enough because we know they won't get a fair trial. It's going to need a lot of paperwork I wonder if it's actually possibly to bury Thingol in paperwork wow, for the first time, I actually wish Dad was here, what? That won't do. *happens to catch sigh of his desk calendar* And it's almost time for Gil-galad to go back to school, Eru, will he be safe travelling? Damn, wretched, bloody Nelyo, why did you have to--?

*walks into your office and smacks you hard upside the head*

STOP BABBLING.

*takes a seat*

Now. If you tell me there are a family of fugative Fëanorians living under your roof, I will slap you silly and then have you committed.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 11:05:00  

Ouch! Turvo, that was unnecessary!

*folds his arms and leans back against his desk* Yes. They're all here, minus Turcafinwë and plus both parents. I'm in the process of moving them on, however.
From: [info]thewise Date: 08/21/2007 11:10:56  

No, no, I think it was fairly necessary.

*covers his eyes with his hand as if he is shocked by your stupidity* What on Órë were you thinking 'Káno? Elwë is going to kill you. *pauses, considering that* Hmmm...

I'm in the process of moving them on

Thank Eru. Get them out of here before they cause any more trouble.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 11:13:37  

*gestures wildly* What was I thinking? Turvo, I've been doing nothing but think since they all landed up here. Don't talk as though I had any choice in the matter. They showed up and I could not just send them back.

*re-folds his arms* I warn you, little brother, you won't like this.
From: [info]thewise Date: 08/21/2007 11:21:22  

You didn't have to send them back, but you should have sent. them. away. Anywhere but here. You don't owe them anything.

*kicks back in his chair and puts his feet up on your desk* I don't care what you do with them as long as you get them far, far away from here.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 11:23:50  

I must say, you're taking this rather well, Turvo. Seeing as you're the only person who can arrange transport to Ondolindë, I'd appreciate if you could sort it sooner, rather than later. As you say, I should have sent them away as soon as they stepped foot in my house.
From: [info]thewise Date: 08/21/2007 11:28:19  

Ondolindë

...

*falls backwards out of his chair*

...

*sits up and looks at you blankly* Excuse me?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 11:30:12  

It's a perfect solution, Turvo. It's under our control, it means we can keep them within Noldorin territories and no one can communicate with you unless you allow it.

*smiles sweetly* Will you have some tea?
From: [info]thewise Date: 08/21/2007 11:35:30  

*stands up* *straightens his shirt* *points his finger at you*

No. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. No. No. No.

*takes his seat again* And another thing? NO.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 11:36:46  

...

Well, then. Coffee?
From: [info]thewise Date: 08/21/2007 11:38:16  

*very slowly, and with great patience* I don't care which hot beverage you would prefer to enjoy. They are not coming to my city!!
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 11:40:01  

*sighs* Turvo. Please don't make me pull rank. You know I do so hate doing that.
From: [info]thewise Date: 08/21/2007 11:43:23  

But! But but but! I don't like them! And they're bad! And they might accidentally kill my citzens on purpose! And Gondolin's too pretty to get bombed. And I don't like them.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 11:47:34  

*patiently* Not liking people is no reason not to help them, especially when we're related to them. And if they accidentally or on-purpose kill anyone, you can lock them up and throw away the key or drop-kick them off Caragdur or whatever you do to nasty villains in Ondolindë. And your precious city won't get bombed, because Thingol won't know that your precious city is harbouring fugitives.

*shrugs* Anyway, it's only temporary until we find out how to placate Thingol.
From: [info]thewise Date: 08/21/2007 11:50:36  

I really hate you right now.

*picks up a pencil and snaps it into* Fine. But I won't like it.

*after a thought* And if Turcafinwë so much as sets a toe in my city I'm sending them all back to Thingol gift-wrapped.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 11:54:07  

*brightly* You're a prince among mortals, Turvo. *really, truly feels as though a massive weight has been lifted from his shoulders*

*raises his eyebrows* Oh, Turcafinwë's already left. Eru knows what he's up to. *tilts his head to the side* What do you have against him, anyway?
From: [info]thewise Date: 08/21/2007 11:55:55  

What do you have against him

*breaks into crazy!laughter* Ha HA Ha. Nothing. He just tried to marry my daughter.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 11:57:21  

*--*

I'm sorry, what?
From: [info]thewise Date: 08/21/2007 11:59:40  

Yep. He took her, proposed to her, spent a night with her in a hotel, and then broke her heart and laughed in her face.

So, you know, if you want to offer up a sacrificial lamb to Thingol, he's a good choice.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 12:01:49  

*astounded* Seriously? Poor Itarillë. She's such a sweet girl Eru knows how.

*frowns* Strange. I always thought that Turco and 'rissë--?
From: [info]thewise Date: 08/21/2007 12:04:00  

*puts his hand up* Stop. Stop right there. I don't know, don't want to know, don't even want to think about it. Seriously. Ew.
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 08/21/2007 15:32:43  

*assumes Finduilas is now quite settled*

*is by now feeling intensely awkward at being (a) in the middle of entirely terrible circumstances (b) that started with him and (c) now unable to do anything about it*

*comes by your office to see if there's anythiing he can do about (c)*
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 15:33:38  

*brightly* Káno, do come in. Turvo and I have hit upon a solution, albeit a temporary one!
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 08/21/2007 15:40:42  

*is encouraged by your cheerful tone* *tries not to focus on the trail of pencil carnage*

Fingon. We're in your debt I'm very very sure.

*takes a seat* ...Solution? *is all ears*
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 20:01:08  

Yes. You and your family are going to be transported to Ondolindë as soon as it can be arranged. It is well beyond the reach of Doriath and no one actually knows where it is, except for Turvo. You will all be safe there until such time as we have smoothed things over with Thingol.
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 08/21/2007 20:13:59  

*raises his eyebrows just slightly* Ondolindë? *does not pretend to be ignorant of the seriousness of that* That's very generous of Turgon.

*looks a little uncomfortable* I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered going to my own home again.
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/21/2007 20:15:21  

My brother is a generous man and I would ask you to warn your brothers not to try his patience with this situation.

*looks at you thoughtfully* It is your own decision, of course, but I can't imagine that it would be terribly wise to return to the Gap at this time.
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 08/21/2007 23:32:17  

I would ask you to warn your brothers

:\ With all respect, Findekáno, I've warned my siblings about many things in the past, yet we're still here. I'll impress the severity of the situation on them as best I can.

*dispassionately* What sort of time frame are we dealing with, here?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/22/2007 12:13:56  

With all respect, Kánafinwë, I'm well aware how difficult it is to impress the severity of any situation on them.

*shrugs* Truthfully? I don't know? How long is Thingol's temper a piece of string?
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 08/22/2007 12:26:33  

*giving his best attempt at reassurance* I'm sorry. We're all grateful for your help in this matter, I know it wasn't intended to happen this way. Nelyo was acting in our best interests. She's hard to stop when it comes to loved ones this kind of thing.

*fair point*

There's someone in Delving I'd like to get word to. Is it possible to secure any messages?
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 08/22/2007 12:44:11  

She's hard to stop when it comes to loved ones this kind of thing.

You're telling me? She goes too far. *fails to see the irony in all of this*

*folds his arms* Well, I'm in near-hourly contact with our cousin Findaráto. Provided you're not making plans to bomb the Palace, I don't see why we can't arrange something. *is only half-joking about the Palace*
From: [info]kanofinwe Date: 08/22/2007 17:53:17  

*tactfully doesn't point that out*

*laughs HA HA HA FUNNY* Just to let someone know I'm alright. I could write something down for you if it's easier.
