"You made it!" shouted the phantom upon spotting Fea.

*phantom walks over, grins, and slips her a ring of keys*

"With these" he whispered, "there isn't a place in the city you can't go."

Upon receiving the sacred keys, Fea's eyes widen in an angelically innocent way.

"Phantom, my friend... do you know the havoc we could wreak?" she whispers, looking around to make sure nobody can hear. "Let's play tic-tac-toe with sidewalk chalk on Rath Dinen!"

the phantom laughs quietly and winks at his partner in mischief

"I already have a bucket of chalk hid behind the door to Ecthelion's tomb," he says. "And also, out at the end of the court by Denny's leap, I stashed a tub of water balloons to throw at people down in the first level. And then... well... it's too much to tell right now. I'll just say that I've been preparing for your arrival in many ways. You will see the other things I have planned soon enough."

"Was that the 'evil twinkle' I just saw in your left eye?" asks Fea, barely able to keep a devilish grin from conquering her face.

"Perhaps," he replies with a wink.

Rather like a myopic Robin Hood, this thread is in danger of becoming entirely aimless.

Comments pertinent to the reputation system, questions & problems only; there is a chat-room the site runs, which is for, well, chat.

Just received the invitation from the Royal Courier last week, and was pleasantly surprised to be so honoured. Unfortunately, although I would be welcome at Aragorn's Court, I do not, at the current time, have room in my schedule to visit either Minas Tirith or Annuminas.

Besides, there are nasty rumours about things going on in Minas Tirith. Should I have the time to visit dear friend Dunadan, it will likely be in his far more Canadian-esque home in the north.

Serious note: Thanks to everyone who saw enough worth in my posts to rep them. Hopefully, I haven't been too stingy with posts I see with worth.

That's what this thread is for? Most of the posts on the previous few pages fooled me into thinking otherwise. I actually thought I was on topic when I posted. Boy was I was fooled!

Please forgive us, Rimbaud. It will never happen again.

(well, actually it probably will- just not on this thread

)

*Gasp* Aahh!! I just realized this post is off topic! Sorry sorry- I'm done now.

Indeed, much like the Oscars, the thread in the first instance has only a tenuous link with purpose, but it is my understanding that this is not a totalitarian regime at BD, merely neither a free nor purposeless one.

Such merit as it has is callously circumnavigated both by the clamour of weak posts and the occasionally stentorian prescription that results - thus including this post. Ah me.

It's true that in making such posts, you were following a trend, but as with twenty-inch flares and chest-wigs, trends are not automatically self-justifying.
