One

Characters: Legolas Greenleaf ([personal profile] keeps_count) and OPEN
Setting: Room 3-02, Cafeteria, meadow floor, anywhere else you wanna bump into him
Format: Starting with prose, both formats are good though
Summary: A blonde elf wakes up in a tower with word that Middle Earth is gone. A persistent search for his (still living) friends ensues.
Warnings: Potential for violence due to mistaken identity?


Room 3-02

The lack of ability to move, feeling like he couldn't breathe, Legolas had to fight not to jump to his feet and search for a threat when he finally regained his ability to move. His breathing remained even when he got to his feet, blue eyes carefully roaming around the room. The note went largely unnoticed for the time being while he went to investigate the trunk.

He was glad to find his clothes in there, his bow and a quiver full of arrows. Legolas didn't really waste much time in changing, tugging lightly at the collar and adjusting his clothes to fit more comfortably around it before slinging the quiver over his shoulder and sheathing his twin knives beneath the quiver. And finally he placed a sheathed Rohirric sword around his waist and a white knife. All equipment he had with him a century ago when he joined the Fellowship of the Ring, to assist Frodo.

That was so long ago. What was he going to do about Gimli? He had been taking him to the Undying Lands with him. They would have been reunited with Gandalf and Frodo, Lord Elrond and Lady Galadriel.

The elf sat on his bed and sighed a bit. Then spotted the letter. And the elf read it, carefully because it had been many years since he'd read anything in the tongue of Man. And then he read it again before crumpling it. Middle Earth was gone? Did that mean Gimli was gone as well? The old Dwarf never having a chance to see the Undying Lands?

Cafeteria

Legolas had the foresight to bring along a chunk of Lembas bread with his when he entered the cafeteria and was handed the bowl of oatmeal. He'd had worse food, he was sure, but that was a long time ago. He'd happily enjoyed the food of his people, and of the dwarves for a century now.

He was at least mature enough not to poke at his food or make disgusted faces at it. Legolas ate it in silence and them ate some Lembas bread to get the taste from his mouth.

Floor 25/Meadow

Legolas sat cross legged, relaxing in the middle of the meadow. His weapons are set on the ground beside him, as if they disturb the bit of peace this place offers. It's not the same though. He wanted to be near the sea now. He even starts to quote something.

"Legolas Greenleaf, long under tree,
In joy thou hast lived. Beware of the Sea!
If thou hearest the cry of the gull on the shore,
Thy heart shall then rest in the forest no more."


Anywhere else

The tower residents may find a blonde young man, barely looking more than twenty years of age, and with pointy ears wandering around. He's very heavily armed but walking casually, with only his bow in hand.

Oh, and he has pointy ears.

"I'm not sure," Taiki admitted. He knew that five or six hundred years in power was considered a lot. "I guess it might be the pressure of ruling... also there might be wars or problems in the country, people not being happy even if the king is good and just..."

He shook his head at the second question. "No... Keiki... he's the Kirin of Kei, he was here but then he disappeared... but he said that he didn't think Kirin could exist if there countries were completely destroyed... there would be no use for us..." Keiki knew so much more than Taiki, he had been the one to help him when Taiki had problems everything that should have been instinctive.

Taiki nodded, that would be nice, to be able to stop that from happening.

He had no idea how this was possible either, but he wished he knew how to stop it. "I guess they must be really powerful, those that brought us here I mean..."

"I haven't seen them yet." Taiki looked down and then remembered.

"Well... a girl was on the computers, talking to us. Then she sent us to strange versions of our world. But apart from that..." He would like to meet them as well, to see what kind of people they were. Though he half didn't want to know, what kind of people they had to be in order to perform the evils that went on here.
notagiraffe: (awkwardness)

"I hope so, they must have a reason." It might be his nature as a Kirin but he couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of people they must be if they had no reason. If they were holding them captive and doing such awful things to them just because they wished to...

He looked down, "Maybe we should try and contact them, but... sorry... I don't know if they will reply."

"Yes... we should at least try... and see if they answer us." Taiki gave a small hopeful smile.
