[OPEN] Lay down your sweet, weary head...

[donttelltheelf]

Characters: Gimli and YOU.
Setting: The Cafeteria.
Format: Action to start, but I'll match you!
Summary: ...nutrition bars. Really, that's all you need to know. Gimli and nutrition bars.
Warnings: None, I think? I'll add if necessary.

[The people in charge of this floor had pretty much shoved the oatmeal at him when he first arrived and... well, it was bland and not particularly exciting, but certainly not the worst he'd ever tasted. But a dwarf is not meant to live off oats and water! A dwarf needs meat! And ale!

And Gimli did not find either in this odd-looking kitchen.

If you wander into the cafeteria, you will find a slightly bemused dwarf in full battle/travel gear, axes and all, staring somewhat unconvinced at the bunch of nutrition bars he was given.]

Tis not Lembas, surely?

Comments

[servessithis]

Interesting. In my world, Dwarves were a race of elf. They are all gone now, having vanished mysteriously, but they left their ruins and automatons behind.

[donttelltheelf]

Not so in the Middle Earth. Elves are elves and Dwarves are dwarves.

[He seems amused at something or another.]

Generally not very fond of each other, either.

[servessithis]

From what little we know of the Dwarves, they were not a popular race in their time, even to their fellow Mer.

[donttelltheelf]

We tend to keep to ourselves. We do not really care about "popularity."

[servessithis]

More than a few races in my world are that way. Orcs and the Beast races especially.

[And vampires, of course.]

[donttelltheelf]

Hn. Orcs.

[Gimli doesn't like orcs.]

Are they a problem in your world?

[servessithis]

Just the ones who run with bandits. Quite a few Orcs are actually quite decent in Tamriel.

[He's even friends with one, but a Dark Brother does not reveal the identity of Family members.]

[donttelltheelf]

The only decent orc I know is the one with an axe embedded in its head.

[servessithis]

I take it orcs have a bad reputation in your world?

[donttelltheelf]

Nothing they did not earn themselves.

[servessithis]

And what of the orcs who are simple shopkeeps or nobles?

[donttelltheelf]

We don't have those.
