Well, okay then, I'm coming!

So, when you say 'come in character', I'm thinking you mean a roleplaying character, but I have been known to be wrong...once or twice... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Eressië Ailin 04-23-2003 09:13 PM

Well, last year, most everyone came as themselves. Or at least their username. Here. Take a look at last year's party, or just wait for some one to come who was there.

Never mind. I found it using the nifty search engine. How do you know that Lush isn't a purple teletubbie? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I could vehemently deny the purple teletubbie associations, but why? If Mr. Fallwell is right, that one gets all the boys. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

That's not to say I will arrive wearing purple (not my colour!).

Awww! This is quite sweet- it would appear that several BDers have invited others as escorts/dates. Awww...

Faenaduial 04-24-2003 10:59 AM

A Happy Birthday B-D party! I can't wait. What to wear? Will there be dancing? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Galadrie1 04-24-2003 02:08 PM

Oh NO, not a link to the last party! How embarassing.... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Last year's birthday party was my first ever RPG. Now I look at my posts in there and think, "Who was this fool? She couldn't write worth a hill of beans!" It's amazing what this place has done for my writing.
I know, same here.... Wow, that was bad. I didn't know what on earth I was doing. Aah! I wish I could go back in time and edit all my posts!

Hey dont worry, lil hasty baby, Im sure theres plently o' folks out there whod say yes if you asked them. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

VanimaEdhel 04-24-2003 05:14 PM

I think I'll even create a new character to show up...Elf, of course...easiest to play. I think laying Menelduliniel and Estelarion to rest for a change would be nice. I can't promise that I'll be "there" all that much, but I can create a date for the new character. I'll be a nice Elf maiden...maybe of higher class for a change, I think. But I will create a character and wander in there at some point!

Iarwain 04-24-2003 06:26 PM

I should hope to find the time to polish my boots, Willie. And perhaps I'll bring along a bright blue jacket to match... This gives me an idea... Hehehe. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Running off to prepare,
Iarwain

XPhial 04-24-2003 07:15 PM

Count me in...I shall wear a dress of green to match the trees, the grass, and the X Files logo.

Orald 04-24-2003 07:22 PM

I haven't been out in a while, so I think I will try and attend. Currently, I am looking for a date to the award ceremony. So keep your options open ladies.

*Durelen(Orald) points to all the lovely females out there and winks* [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Cuthalion 04-24-2003 07:23 PM

[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] What an eye-opener last year's party was! Seems I have one of the most....uh, multi-talented? dates on the forum! Woohoo!

[img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Durelin 04-24-2003 07:59 PM

Maybe I'll come as Raken and stab people and stuff. Or, I could just come as this new character I made up that isn't real screwed up in the head. Anyways...I think I'll wear this dress thing. It consists of a robe-like thing made of dark blue velvet with a 'v' neck and underneath is a white, sorta sparkly dress. And my hair'll just be really long and dirty-blonde. As it acutally is! But, I will not be me, so, anything my character does at the party should not be held against me...right? Oh, by the way, she will be wearing her dagger under her robe, so be polite... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Oh, yeah, her name will be Rytien.

Like anyone cares.

Merendis 04-24-2003 08:29 PM

*Merendis notices Orald pointing to her and blushes*

Sorry ladies, he's mine for the night.

The Saucepan Man 04-24-2003 09:06 PM

In honour of this forthcoming great event Sergeant Saucepan's Barrow Downs Club Band has composed (read plagiarised [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) the following little ditty.

*Ahem*

(To the tune of Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite)

For the benefit of Mr Wight
There will be a party, right
On the Downs.

The Haunted Spirits will be there.
In formal Middle Earthy wear;
Elven gowns!

With Mods and Admins, food and drink,
Awards for the worthy few - a real treat;
In this way for its birthday we honour the Downs.

The worthy Mr Mithadan
Has called us all to come on down
To celebrate.

The Party-fiends will dance and sing
And snack on sautéed Balrog’s wing.
Don't be late!

Messrs B and M assure us all
That this party will be second to none
And, of course, Pan of Sauce dances the waltz.


*Hobbit jug-band instrumental*

The fun begins at dead on nine
When Mr M will give a sign
To start the rave.

And Boromir the Disco King;
Will strut and groove his funky thing
Do the wave!

It being some days in preparation.
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
On the night Mr Wight is topping the bill.

Marileangorifurnimaluim 04-25-2003 01:57 AM

Here's our initial little get together, a littl pre-bash before Mithadan's party Let's have the party here!

I'm assuming the, uh, mess from this party is the reason we're not having it at the BW's house again? *ahem* (The melting clocks were a real problem.) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

- Maril

Amanaduial the archer 04-25-2003 04:49 AM

That was a truly classy party! The event that got me into roleplaying! Possibly this time there will be less melting clocks, talking flying trouts and orlie-hating-dagger-wielding wights...

Saucepan man- *clapclapclapclapclap* Nicely done!

Hmmm....one thing I am a little confused about; awards?

Hey May 1st is a public holiday in Norway, I can spend the whole day at the party (ooh, dad'll be mad at me...)! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Rimbaud 04-25-2003 08:00 AM

What's that? A vegetable plate?

I'll stop by.

WHAT? You mean I actually have to wear something besides my weapons? Damn! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Helkahothion 04-25-2003 08:50 AM

Yes Maika. A nice ribbon or Scarfe arround your neck is always nice. What is that you say Mithadan? We have to be dressed and any naked person will be removed. Shucks.

*mutters something that reminds of the word Party Pooper.*

Amanaduial the archer 04-25-2003 11:13 AM

Hey, guessing weapons will be removed at the door, so youre gonna have to wear something. Helka, thats an order!

Lyra Greenleaf 04-25-2003 11:57 AM

Am I right in thinking it won't be as formal as "proper" RPG? I mean could I maybe take a character out of a current RPG without explaining how she got there? And will it have to be Tolkien-perfect on detail?

Durelin 04-25-2003 12:16 PM

YAY! My rating has gone up! Thankyou whoever rated me! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Wait. So, people are taking dates. PLEASE! I thought I was getting away from that here in this world of dead things! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Why? Why do you do this to me?

Oh, gosh, Helka! PLEASE! SPARE US!

Well, this party thing should be interesting. I wouldn't put it past Helka for trying to get in...um...bare.

Whatever you say dear.

I ehm wil eh, I will just ehm, I will just iron my sleeves. Gotta look good eh? And have to dust of and polish those weapons. It's gonna be a hell of a job getting those away from Anuion. Would like to see someone try. (OOOOH I can just picture that scene now. This IS going to be a great RPG heheehehehe [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] )

Yes Aman, I will behave, sorry.

Eruanna 04-25-2003 01:28 PM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Great Song, Saucepan man. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Are you going to sing it at the party? I can play on paper and comb to accompany you!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

VanimaEdhel 04-25-2003 04:30 PM

Anyone want to go with me? That way you can take over my character if you choose to do so whilst I am having nervous breakdowns in real life. Clothing? Eh, okay. If you insist (which you do), I will wear clothing.

So: any takers on being my date?

the real findorfin 04-25-2003 04:48 PM

WOW!

Fin, the elf-flirt will be there in his finest, hopefully with several females on each arm (plz PM me ladies {isnt Fin such a damn annoying flirt, and so confident, i hates him})

Anyway, I will try and get in early, and be seen on the red carpet.

Cuthalion 04-25-2003 08:42 PM

Maika...for the sake of my sanity....skin-tight leather would be excellent...remember, love...I don't share the view! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Especially with Helka around....

Thank you, Eruanna. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I think that a reprise may be in order. Or possibly, Sergeant Saucy's Barrow Downs Club Band will come up with something new for the occasion.

I hope that it's OK, but the Saucepan Man will be attending as himself, pans 'n kettles 'n all. He has made special arrangements for the Land of Middle Earth to be at the top of the Faraway Tree that day. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Unfortunately, mundane matters such as work may prevent his arrival until the evening. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-25-2003 09:08 PM

Oooh, Lovely tune, Sergeant Saucy! Waiting to hear more [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

More pressing than the matter of what Sophia shall wear, is who shall Sophia be? (I've never felt this schizo in my life!) Perhaps Sophia's debut as Sophia...?

And aaaw dang, I've got a final at 10 (eastern). Blast *snaps fingers and modifies imagined party* Sophia arrives fashionably late. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Ai! such fun... *vanishes into a corner, dizzy from spinning*

I think I'll use the elf Beruthiel that I had in the Green Dragon ages ago, have to get a nice party dress [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Diamond18 04-25-2003 10:36 PM

Why create a character when I can come as my own crazy self? Unless everyone was hoping Lousewart Chastitybelt would show up... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Tigerlily Gamgee 04-26-2003 12:40 AM

Oh dear! I hope I am able to make it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
It's been sooo long since I've talked to almost everyone here... I've been going between the Barrows and the garden with internet forums.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-26-2003 01:50 AM

Lol... Diamond, I don't know how well Lousewart Chastitybelt would like the amount of drinking that's likely to go on at this bash... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Speaking of rampant drunkenness, I just wasted an entire evening reading last year's party... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] I'm afraid for my life!!!
