[He had decided that he should go to Ossiriand to find Curufin, a realisation which presented him him with great confusion. This was not how Things Were Meant to Be. He was used to the sons following the father wherever he may go, not the other way around.

Normative difficulties aside, he was faced with far more practical ones when war broke out just as he'd started off on his journey. He ignored advice from authorities to return to a safe place (whatever that may be in such a situation) and doggedly carried on towards his destination. Orë may be very different from Arda but some things stay the same: Once Fëanor has decided to do something, he damn well does it, war or no war.

He slowly made his way to Ossiriand, hitching with similarly stubborn travellers or even just walking, taking a bizarre comfort in the fact that while he may be caught in the middle of a war, at least he didn't start this one.]

*Finally makes it to Ossiriand.*

*Finds that he desires, in this order:

- To see his favourite son.
- A drink.
- A shower.
- A new pair of shoes.*

*is standing in a queue at the liquor store, clutching three bottle of bourbon close to his chest*

*snarls at the shop attendant when politely informed that there are restrictions on the purchase of alcohol at this time*
From: [info] Date: 11/28/2007 18:05:16  

*Spots you*

*Limps strides over and raises his voice.*

For Eru's sake, Atarincë, what are you planning to do with all that drink? How many times do we have to remind you? YOU ONLY HAVE ONE KIDNEY NOW.
From: [info]atarince Date: 11/28/2007 18:09:43  

*looks a little shifty but is mostly just pleased to see you* 's cool, Dad, you can buy two, right? No one'll argue with you.
From: [info] Date: 11/28/2007 18:14:14  

I'm not here to -

*Can't say no to you!*

*Snaps his fingers at the attendant.*

*Hands over the appropriate sum.*

Don't think I'll make a habit of this.
From: [info]atarince Date: 11/28/2007 18:20:06  

*cheerfully* I know, Dad.

*realises he's actually really pleased to see you* You haven't seen Tyelcormo on your travels, have you? *squints at you* How long were your travels, anyway? No offence, but you look kinda beat?
From: [info] Date: 11/28/2007 18:26:20  

*Opens one of the bottles and takes a swig as he mentally crosses off the first two items on his wants list.*

No, I haven't. I assumed he'd be with you.

How long were your travels, anyway?

Quite long, son. I couldn't just hop on the train, infrastructure tends to go to the dogs when there's a war on.
From: [info]atarince Date: 11/28/2007 18:33:10  

*winces* Shit. He woke up ugly one day, before the war? Haven't seen him in ages. *chews his lip and tries not to look too worried*

*mumbles* I'm worried about him. I mean, I've gotten text messages? But he doesn't want to talk much 'cause his voice got ugly too?
From: [info] Date: 11/28/2007 18:45:11  

Yes well he would -

Wait, I'm sorry, he, "woke up ugly?"
From: [info]atarince Date: 11/28/2007 18:58:25  

Yeah, ugly as sin. 'parently, it was some punishment from Vendorë for being, lke, mean and stuff? Which is ridiculous 'cause Tyelco doesn't care enough about other people to be mean to them. *amends that*
From: [info] Date: 11/30/2007 16:47:30  

Right. I see.

*Will process this later after a shower and a beer.*

Where was he when the war kicked off? Have you heard from him since?
From: [info]atarince Date: 11/30/2007 18:06:06  

He was in Delving and I've had some texts from him? But nothing the last few days. Which is weird? 'cause he never likes to leave me to my own devices in his home, y'know?
From: [info] Date: 11/30/2007 18:31:27  

No, I don't know. Last time I saw you two, we'd just left my home, remember? I have no idea how you lot operated in Middle Earth.
From: [info]atarince Date: 11/30/2007 18:34:19  

*frowns* Well, we mostly operated however Nelyo told us to operate. 'else we just ignored what he said and did the complete opposite. That so didn't pan out in Doriath?

*sets off towards Celegorm's house* Eru, I'm starving.
From: [info] Date: 11/30/2007 19:01:00  

You're starving? Have you ever tried living on Little Chef food for weeks?
From: [info] Date: 11/30/2007 19:03:30  

*is walking towards the liquor store* *is walking because her car is out of gas* *is walking to the liquore store because classes have been cancelled for an indefinite period and the number of keg parties has risen dramatically*
From: [info] Date: 11/30/2007 19:14:57  

*Stops in his tracks.*

Fániel?
From: [info] Date: 11/30/2007 19:17:30  

*stops dead*

*--*

*squeals* Fëanáro! *launches herself at you and throws her arms around your neck*
From: [info] Date: 11/30/2007 19:24:20  

*Gingerly pats your back.*

Hello.

*Cough.*

How are you? Apart from tactile and shrill.
From: [info] Date: 11/30/2007 19:27:25  

*gives you a smacking great kiss on the cheek before she relinquishes you* Oh, you big old grump. How's Daddy? Have you seen Daddy recently? Is he okay? Are they feeding him properly? Are they making sure he takes his pills?
From: [info] Date: 11/30/2007 19:38:13  

Fániel, in case you'd forgotten, I have a ludicrously large family and they're usually getting themselves into various scrapes and "situations." It's not a failing, they just have very strong personalities and other people can't handle that.

But whatever the reason, it takes time and energy to deal with so no, I haven't seen our father, I haven't had time, you don't have any dependants, why can't you check on him yourself, really, what's your excuse and what are these "pills" of which you speak?
From: [info] Date: 12/01/2007 11:50:42  

*puts her hands on her hips* I don't have any dependants because I'm still in school, you twit. *tosses her hair over her shoulder* Anyway, he's told me he doesn't want me to go to Delving and Mum's there now, and so's your mum but we all know that you're the favourite and the eldest so what's your problem?

...what are these "pills" of which you speak?

*wrinkles up her nose* His Alzheimer's pills, obviously.
From: [info] Date: 12/01/2007 13:57:36  

Don't you call me a twit, I invented Tengwar.

*blinks* Are you telling me our father's turning into a jelly-brain?
From: [info] Date: 12/01/2007 14:30:27  

*indignantly* Curufinwë!
From: [info]atarince Date: 12/01/2007 14:31:38  

*equally indignantly* What? I said nothing!
From: [info] Date: 12/01/2007 14:34:46  

She didn't mean you, don't be so -

Wait.

Is this alzheimer's thing hereditary?
From: [info] Date: 12/01/2007 14:38:53  

*unconcernedly* It can be? 'specially the early-onset sort? But Dad had tests done? Those genetic ones? And his isn't that sort. It's just the bad luck sort.
From: [info] Date: 12/01/2007 14:42:46  

I see.

Right. Half-sister? you clearly enjoy talking so kindly bring me up to date with everything that's happened with the family in my death-induced absence. You may supplement your briefing with reference to photo-albums if you so desire.

Son? Procure us food and drink along with something comfortable to sit on.
From: [info]atarince Date: 12/01/2007 14:52:19  

*shrugs* 'kay. We'll go to Tyelco's. His chef's really good. *walks alongside you, on the other side to Fániel*

*in a low voice* Is she always this -- happy?
From: [info] Date: 12/01/2007 15:04:41  

Yes. She's like an overexcited labrador only witout the unfortunate habit of leg-humping. There might be a touch of slobber though.
From: [info] Date: 12/01/2007 15:25:08  

Have you been in Ossiriand long? It's really nice. Káni's lived here for ages but she's in Hísilómë right now with her family? It's kinda nice to have family here. I mean, Gil-galad's about but I don't really know him.
From: [info] Date: 12/01/2007 15:44:28  

Have you been in Ossiriand long?

About five minutes.

It's kinda nice to have family here

*Thinks that entirely depends on what side of the family you're talking about.*

*sniff*
From: [info] Date: 12/01/2007 15:57:02  

Oh, so not long then, cool. I can show you around if you like.

*is totally oblivious to the fact that her big brother might not be entirely on board with this idea*
From: [info] Date: 12/01/2007 16:03:44  

That's swell Fániel, but perhaps later? I have offspring to track down.
From: [info] Date: 12/02/2007 10:02:18  

Well, if it's any help, I've seen Morifinwë around campus.
From: [info] Date: 12/03/2007 16:52:44  

Moryo's here?

*sighs* I swear to Eru, I'm going to get a little collars with bells on them so I can keep track of those kids.
From: [info]atarince Date: 12/03/2007 17:03:30  

Anywhere there's a chance to make a killing on the black market, there's Moryo.


Also. Bells?
From: [info] Date: 12/03/2007 17:23:49  

You always were resourceful boys.

You think I'm joking?
