Fellowship and friends at Camp
 
Imagine what would happen if our fav. characters went to camp together...what kind of mischief would go on...who would be crowned the ultimute camp survivor! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Daewen 06-23-2003 01:21 PM

Hm...this is gonna be an interesting thread.

I think that Legolas would flirt with all the guys because he's such a pansy.

Aragorn would be the camp counsilor that all the girls had a crush on.

Linteamarthwen 06-23-2003 02:36 PM

I'm going to write a summary of what the camp should look like. If you have any other ideas please write.

The camp has bouncy things, a lake, mud pit, and buildings for campers to sleep in. It also has lots of fields to do activities and sports. Also, our friends arn't in the 4th age, they are in our time...2003! So imagine what kinda trouble they could get themselves in to! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Meela 06-23-2003 02:51 PM

Okay, so Boromir and some troublemalers immediately set up an illegal smoking area at the far end of the furthest field and bully the younger humans into keeping lookout for them.

Legolas sets up a beauty parlour as an alternative for those who don't want to do compulsory sports. Which is everyone.

Sam takes up residence in the kitchens and makes everyone eat regular, healthy meals and terrorises anorexics.

Merry and Pippin establish an illegal alcohol trade.

Gandalf is the strict councillor who insists on keeping to the lights-out rules and terrorises anyone who breaks them.

Duncariel 06-23-2003 06:11 PM

Hmmmmmm... Interesting idea.

Everyone is sitting in the cafeteria eating supper, when the phone rings. The food fight between Legolas and Gimli stops when Legolas shrieks "You got Ketchup in my hair, you demented little (emphasis on little) freak!"

Aragorn jumps on the table drawing Anduril, all of the little kids run away screaming, and hacks at the ringing machine. The police are called, and the Heir of Isildur is dragged away in hand cuffs, looking very bewildered indeed.

ok, that was dumb. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

EDIT: I just realized that no one could call the police, Aragorn killed the innocent phone! Oh well...

purplefluffychainsaw 06-24-2003 06:37 AM

Hmmm... Galadriel would be in charge of the girls quarters and she would have to keep lobbing Aragorn out of their rooms. She and Arwen would then have a big fight... She would also be in charge of all the craft activities like raft building and sewing. Boromir and Aragorn would compete over everything - if it was rowing they would be in separate boats and argue about winning even if one was obviously last.

Elentarimir 06-24-2003 08:00 AM

Legolas would immediately set up an archery field, and kick everyone's butt at it! (Including Aragorn)

Morai 06-24-2003 11:10 AM

Gandalf would seceretly smuggle Pipeweed from the other side of the lake. Then he'd hand them out to the hobbits at night.

Gollum, would be constantly nagging Sam about his cooking. He'd also beg for a meal "Fishssss." Around the campfire, Gollum would go on and on about how the other campers were ruining their marshmellows by toasting them.

Duncariel 06-25-2003 09:36 AM

Pippin gets lost in the woods and everyone goes out looking for him. They are gone for hours, when Merry comes back to the kitchen for a snack and finds Pippin hiding in the pantry, eating all the fruit snacks and giggling happily to himself.

Celandine03 06-29-2003 07:10 PM

^Haha! I like that one.

Arwen and Eowyn would probably get into a big fight over Aragorn.

Tom Bombadil would lead the camp-fire songs.

Lëowen 06-29-2003 09:24 PM

And if they ever played any games, Sméagol would end up captain of one team, and Gollum would end up captain of the other.
That'd be interesting...

Maylin 06-29-2003 11:08 PM

lol,Lëowen, i can just see that

Smeagol: no...WE gets the nasty little hobbitses
Gollum: no, my precious, WE wants them. Nasty Bagginses, stoles our precious...
*goes on for quite a time, til everyone leaves, and Gollum/Smeagol argues with himself until Aragorn comes and hauls him off*

Everdawn 06-30-2003 03:21 AM

We dont have this tradtition of going off to "summer camp" in australia, however we do go on school camps (which i hate becuase of the lack of shopping centres "malls")

Judging on my experiences, I reckon Legolas would be hurting and wanting to leave because there is no shop to buy more Herbal essence...

elfearz1 06-30-2003 10:19 AM

these are really good!

that's sooo funny!

ok here's what I thought of:
Merry and Pippin sneak out after Lights-out and go into the girls cabin to try and play a prank on them while they are asleep. But to their surprise Eowyn, Arwen and Galadriel are NOT asleep they are pillow fighting in their pajamas. After that whenever Merry and Pippin see them everyone blushes and looks the other way. (lol don't ask)

Finwe 06-30-2003 06:23 PM

I can just imagine Smeagol/Gollum being the captains of two teams, and both teams playing each other. We'd have Smeagol/Gollum running one way, then frantically racing the other way, and then repeating that action for a while until someone snatches the ball out of his hands.

Lëowen 06-30-2003 07:08 PM

Imagine him trying to play dodgeball! Gollum grabs the ball, then bashes his head into it. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Morai 07-01-2003 11:21 AM

*Gollum takes the ball and throws it at himself and misses.*
Gollum: No fair Precioussss!
Smeagol: Ha! We Beatsss you!
*Then he gets mad at himself and repeatedly hits himself with the ball, for 3 hours.*

Meneltarmacil 07-23-2003 06:39 PM

As I am going to camp myself in about 3 days, I felt I had to contribute something.

GANDALF: Head counselor for the guys. I can see him yelling "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" or "Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks" when somebody tries to play a prank on him. Eventually everybody is too scared to play any more pranks.

GALADRIEL: Head counselor for the girls. Same as above, but with "In place of a dark lord, you will have a QUEEN"

ARAGORN: The wilderness survival leader, and good at telling ghost stories around the campfire ("Are you frightened? Not nearly frightened enough."). Not surprisingly, nobody gets any sleep afterwards.

MERRY AND PIPPIN: Obviously, they are the ones who play pranks on everybody at night.

BOROMIR: Don't ask me why, but he seems like the guy who would leave his dirty smelly socks and stuff all over the place and make everything all stinky. Same thing goes for Gimli.

Silmiel of Imladris 07-23-2003 07:36 PM

I can picture Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf, and Saurman playing 'light as a feather, stiff as a board, straight as a nail' with one of the hobbits. We used to play that at camp all the time.

Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf, Saurman: Light as a feather, stiff as a board, straight as a nail... Light as a feather, stiff as a board, straight as a nail... Light as a feather...

Pippen: Ok you guys are raising me up too high!

Saurman: Shut up you twerp!

:Pippen falls to the floor: Owwww...

Elrond to Saurman: You morron you broke our concentration when we just got him 3 feet off the ground! Now we have to start all over!

elfearz1 07-23-2003 10:47 PM

I can't believe I haven't thought of this before. I'm assuming that this is a summer camp, so Gandalf would be in charge of setting of the fire works. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

*nevquesseiel* 07-24-2003 03:30 AM

lol! Sauron would be the mysterious cook you never see and the food is really bad. . .
I reckon Elrond would be camp counsellor 'Which eight companions will you share the perilous journey to the shower block with? Who will be so bold...."

yes thats lame but o well. . .!! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Morai 07-28-2003 01:59 PM

Merry and Pippin would repeatedly pull pranks on eachother, until they get the camp punishment and get thrown into the mudpit. They would throughly enjoy it, until Merry and Pippin notice that Saruman was seceretly breeding Uruk Hai in it.

Meneltarmacil 08-01-2003 11:58 PM

I just got back from camp today so I have something to say.

Legolas and Gimli are going tubing (the kind where the inner tubes are pulled behind a jet ski) in the lake.
Legolas isn't even hanging on and somehow he miraculously stays on.
Gimli's tube flips over about once every 5 seconds [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
GIMLI: AAAAAGGGGGHHH!!! *flies off his inner tube*
LEGOLAS: Come, Gimli!
GIMLI: Grrrr...
*they finally get to the shore*
ARAGORN: So how was it?
LEGOLAS(without even one drop of water on him): It was absolutely marvelous...
GIMLI(wringing water out of his beard [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]): RRRRAAARRRGGGHH!!! *picks up his axe*

steve 08-02-2003 12:06 AM

I can see Gimli setting up a hokey leauge at the camp. and Eomer incharge of the equestrian group (horse riders) and Elrond would be incharge of the model Un kinda thing, and I can see, yet again, my wonderfull immage of the nazguls wearing speedos and blues blothers' "shades"

Nehani 08-02-2003 06:01 PM

Aragorn is in chrage of the nature walks: After about and hour or so of babbliing about every single plant he passes, he looks back behind him, to relize not a single camper is on the trail. He turns around and walks back, to find them playing poker with Merry and Pippin on the side of the trail.

Frodo is telling campers how to draw swords upon their friends. Boromir is glaring at him all the while.

Legolas is picking flowers and re-decorating the cabins with pick, frilly, lace. Gimli is outside chopping wood, and cursing under his breath.

Gollum is catching fish for dinner, and eating half of them in the process.

I think I know people who would be doing all these things in camp.

Lindril Arvilya 08-03-2003 07:37 AM

I am currently spending a weekend at my house. I've been at camp for seven weeks and have only three more left. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Yay for counselling! Anyhow...

Programme Director: Eru (organises all the games and activities, keeps track of all the cabins)
Head Counsellor: Elrond (picks the people who will be counselling together)
Dance Director: Luthien
Arts & Crafts Director: Galadriel
Waterfront Director: Ulmo
Outtripping: Aragorn (organises forays/overnights into the wilderness)

Have no more time... must go now... bye BD!

until they throw him *on* the fire for being so darn irritating.

Aragorn and Boromir would be friends on the surfae but underneath total rivals. I can imagine them canoing along giving each other occasional sideways looks and subtly trying to paddle faster...

Arwen would *always* be sneaking into Aragorn's cabin...

Merry and Pippin would plan midnight raids on the kitchens. And they'd smoke under their beds and almost set their blankets on fire.

Eowyn would be kicking the boys asses at all the sports.

Smeagol and Gollum would play each other at volleyball (picture that in your head)

I imagine Legolas as the snooty kid who looks down his nose at people because he's good looking and rich (don't ask me why I think that. It just popped into my head). Gimli throws at football at his head and breaks his nose, but afterwards they realise they get on pretty well.

What a load of random drabble! Please bear in mind that we don't have summer camp in England.

polices 08-06-2003 02:25 PM

HEHE LOL
I don't go to summer camp but here:

Week:1: Gimli is choping wood and tossing it into the fire then he gets an idea and smirks mischeviesly. ~Meanwhile~ Legolas is picking flowers and skiping stones out of nowhere a hooded short person desides Legolas is going for a swim...

Week:2: Aragorn is thrown out of the girls shower rooms for the 1900 time and arwen is scolding him severally. ~meanwhile~ Merry is rigging a trap to catch a intruder outside aragorn's cabin. ~Later that night...~ Aragorn hears a rustiling outside his door and looks out to see arwen, AND Eoywyn in the trap.

Meneltarmacil 09-12-2003 09:13 PM

Imagine what would happen when they were roasting marshmallows over a bonfire.

Gollum, as mentioned earlier, would be screaming that it'll "spoil nice marshmallowses, scorching them!"

Everybody would have to keep Denethor from throwing himself on the fire.

Finally, Treebeard would get really angry and put out the fire because they had burned all the beautiful trees.

Dragon Elf odin Ragnorock 09-17-2003 05:52 PM

Imagine this—Legolas has his entire luggage full of herbal essences shampoo

Pipin gets beat up at random moments of the day

Merry is a counselor

Arigorn is the wilderness leader

Gandalf and Galadriel are the directors

Sauron and Sourmon are the people who do the witty commentary every so often

Gimli would be making Legolases astringed life even stranger by making gay jokes and other jokes on him

Sam and Frodo would always be hanging out with each other

Borimir would be sword instructor

And the orcs the countless workers in the camp

Meneltarmacil 09-18-2003 08:49 AM

Dragon Elf and I came up with an idea for this thread. How about making it a scene-by-scene thing like what has happened with LOTR Road Trip. Gandalf is head counselor for the guys and Galadriel is head counselor for the girls. The first scene is when they have just arrived at camp and are greeted by the work crew.
Unfortunately, I may not be able to give any updates on what the next scenes are as I may lose power soon due to a hurricane.

EDIT: I already lost power but remembered I had a laptop with an Internet connection! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Daewen 09-18-2003 03:27 PM

All righty then. Here's my little contribution to the first scene.

*Bus pulls up and the doors open. Boromir and Aragorn, punching each other, tumble out, followed by Arwen and Eowyn, both cheering for Aragorn, and then Faramir flexing his muscles in hopes to woo Eowyn, who hasn't noticed him at all. After them comes Merry and Pippin, who're practically skipping out of the bus, followed by Frodo and Sam, chatting happily to each other, not noticing that Gollum is stalking them. Gimli comes out after them, axe in hand, looking very tough and intimidating indeed, followed by our dear Legolas, with hs duffle bag full of Herbal Essence and suitcase full of designer clothes and other hair and skin products, his hair blowing perfectly in a non-existant breeze, looking dreaminly off into the distance. *

Elrond: Well Galadriel...we certainly have an interesting group of campers this year.

Galadriel: Tell me about it. This is certainly going to be an interesting summer.

Elrond: *nods his head, pauses, then looks around* Hey, have you seen Tom? He's supposed to be here to great the campers.

Tom: Hey dol, merry dol, derry dol, and alwithom, fear not my friends for here comes good old Tom!

Elrond: *rolls his eyes and walks away to greet campers, Galadriel follows, and then Tom, who is humming and skipping like some sort of gay freak in yellow boots* Excuse me, campers, excuse me *blows whistle and everyone is quiet* Welcome to Camp Funshine, I'm Lord Elrond, and I'll be the head councilor of the boys this year, and I *get's distracted by Arwen waving her hand furiously at him*

Arwen: Hi daddy! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elrond: Hello dear, now as I was saying, I just want to tell you that I'm sure we'll all have a lot of fun this year, and...*notices Pippin jumping up and down as if in attempt to do a strange short hobbit like impression of Michael Jordan* Excuse me, little animated lawn gnome who is an NBA wannabe, what exactly are you doing?

Pippin: Who's cooking, and when are we going to eat? I'm hungry!

Aragorn: You ate on the bus Pippin!

Pippin: Yeah, I had elevenses, but now I want luncheon...then afternoon tea...then dinner...and supper...

Galadriel: Ai Elbereth! We have hobbits this year! Eru save us!

Elrond: Great, and we haven't got a cook this year since Nazgul #3 quit...

Sam: What? No cook? Don't you worry, Mr. Elrond, I can cook, if you'd let me, that is. I'd make sure everyone got plenty of food. There's not going to be any anorexics in my kitchen *glares at legolas*

Elrond: Um...well...suuure why not...well I'm at it, we don't have anyone to lead our campfire stories...

Aragorn: I can do that!

Elrond: All righty then...we also need...
*later that night*

Sam: Supper is ready!

Legolas: We just had dinner.

Sam: *looks at him evilly* You're far to thin, you're getting an extra helping! You're going to eat your dinner and like it!

Legolas: *gulps, takes plate*

Aragorn: While we're eating, let's tell the campfire stories! *everyone agrees* All right, a long time ago in a strange alternate universe, there were two people, twins, evil twins, named Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. *everybody screams and covers there ears* Are you frightened? Not nearly frightened enough...

**yeah ok..someone can take it from there...**

Meneltarmacil 09-22-2003 04:23 PM

Next scene: They get to their cabins and leave their stuff there.
From then on it's free time for everyone. Some of them can try the zip line over the lake, others can go swimming, etc., etc.

After that, there's some entertainment provided by some of the staff (in this case, Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel, and Saruman.)

Pyroclastic 10-06-2003 04:45 PM

Faramir is sitting beside the lake, cleaning his nails with his knife (much to Legolas's horror) when Boromir approaches. "Hey Bro, what's up," asks Faramir."
"Not much. Say, have you seen Denethor about lately?"
"No I haven't-"
BOOM!
They whirl around, and see a huge cloud of smoke ascend to the heavens. The entire camp decends upon the scene. Merry and Pippen are standing in front of Denethor, still smouldering slightly. Denethor is giving them a lecture.
"Fools, you shame the Gondorian realm! You light a oil doused fire like this-"
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Shout Faramir and Boromir at the same time. Boromir leas upon his father and Faramir bravly tackles the flying blow torch flung from Denethor's hands.
"Everybody back to their activities, there's nothing to see here!" Bellows Elrond.
The grumbling campers are heared away by their counselors...

Elwen_starmaiden 10-07-2003 06:38 PM

The next day they take up canoing (sp?) and thanks to Aragorn and Boromir it turns into a race.
Aragorn has one boat with Arwen right behind him and Eowyn behind her. Eowyn's jealous of Arwen so then keeps "accidently" hitting Arwen's oar with her own.

Boromir's team is Faramir and Eomer, with Faramir trying to catch Eowyn's attention still, unsuccessfully. Eomer sees this and starts to keep an eye on Faramir.

A third boat is occupied by the four hobbits, with Merry and Pippin rowing like maniacs and Sam is looking squeamishly at the water. Frodo is trying to keep up with Merry and Pip but exhausts himself and has to breathe from his inhaler every now and then.

As they get closer to the finish line, Arwen gets annoyed with Eowyn and it turns into a cat fight with them hitting each other with their oars. Aragorn tries to break it up, and all the fighting has the boat rocking so hard the whole boat flips over.

Gollum was up to mischief and had driven a hole in one of the boats, thinking the hobbits would use it, and finally get back at the false tricksey hobbitses. Unfortunately Boromir's team got that boat, and they sunk.

It was just the hobbits by then, with M&P rowing at a feverish pace and Frodo and Sam trying to keep up, when Galadriel comes up from behind on her swan boat, sitting at front with a whistle, while Celeborn and Haldir are rowing with the rythm of her whistle.

Each one gets ahead of the other, but then the hobbits got a steady rythm also and therefore pulled ahead and won the race.

Someone else's turn! I'm tired.
