A door opens, and suddenly the sound of a baby wailing echoes across the nearby chunk of the Nexus. A bleary-eyed Victor Van Dort steps through, bouncing said wailing baby in his arms. "It's okay, it's okay. . .look, we're -- um." He blinks a few times as he registers where he is. "This isn't. . .oh, dear, how did I manage to choose the wrong door?" He goes to step back through --

Then stops, shakes his head, and proceeds to the nearest safe-looking bit of furniture, still cradling his son. "No. Perhaps someone can help here. At least, Alice and the others will get some decent sleep for a change. . ." He looks up, an exhausted man at the end of his rope. "Is there anyone around who's had at least one child and might know why they sometimes just start crying in the middle of the night and won't stop no matter what you do?"

Ents, the shepherdses of trees. We saw one once, deep in the forest, going about its . . . its inscrutable business, yes, and muttering to itself like the creaking of branches in the wind. 'Creak, crack, hmmm, hoom.' It never noticed little old me, I was just another small and hasty animal to it. Smeagol thinks it might have been examining a broken branch, praps? Took a long time to do it, but then treeses have the time if any things do.

As long as you have no axes, my love--woodcutters who enter their woods don't return--and even then there are feral treeses to be wary of. The woods of the Ents are magic onesss, fall asleep in the wrong spot and you may wake trapped by rootses.

Nice Frodo and mean Sssam spoke of being caught by a willow once. Old Man Willow did not sound nice at all!

Pretty sure Old Man Willow was indeed a willow, by what the hobbitses said. *He smiles.* Nice Smeagol would do his best to protect nice humans from the treeses, yes.

[Alice, walking down to the furniture section] They've got a lot more than chairs, too. . .

[indeed, there's some displays set up -- a living room set with a chair, couch, and coffee table; a bedroom with a double bed and two nightstands; a dining room with a round table surrounded by four chairs. Basically, Smeagol has his pick of things to sit on over here]

*A bed! There's a bed!

*You may have to pry him off the damn thing.*

*Smeagol just smiles a bit and curls up tighter.*

[Alice smiles back] Definitely want to keep that one, then. [she tries one of the chairs, since Smeagol's otherwise occupied] It is nice furniture.

[Victor sits down too] Very nice -- maybe we should see about upgrading our own house.

*Eventually Smeagol will get around to picking a chair. It's short, but he's thin enough that it dwarfs him anyway. Not that that takes much.*

Yes I do. Smeagol likes it very much.

[Alice] Good! Now you just need a place to put it that isn't here.

*That bit is somewhat of a stumper. If there's such a thing as hissing in confusion then that's what he's doing. Or, to quote Bilbo long ago, 'the answer's not a kettle boiling over, as you seem to think from the noise you're making.' But then Bilbo could be a surprisingly sarcastic little hobbit.*

From: [personal profile] save_us_alice
[Alice drums her fingers against the arm of her chair] There must be a place for folks like you. I know I've heard of people living in the Nexus before.

[Victor gets up] Maybe if we went and tried to find an employee? Someone who works here probably would know more.

Yesss, let us ask for a home. No longer do we dwell in Arda, time for a new place.
lastest_ringbearer: (Awe)
From: [personal profile] lastest_ringbearer
*He likes the sound of new beginnings. It sounds like rest and friendship and peace, which have been rare in his life.* No more wandering. We're home. We're home.

:D

*He tries to think. What was it like before the cave, again? What was his grandmother's house like, that day he went fishing with Deagol?* . . . cozy. Wood and stone. Pond. Tree. Hillssside, yes.
