(Housework is rather boring, but it needs to be done. Celebrimbor is setting the rather chaotic mostly-Fëanorian house to rights, frowning faintly at the odd bits and ends he comes across. There really is no explaining his father and uncles, but he loves them dearly.)

Man cerig?

(Of course the shoe in the bathroom has no answer for him. Tutting, he picks it up and tries to determine which of his family members it belongs to. And, more importantly, why there is only one of them.

Quite the mystery! ~~What? Not every day can be filled with sorrow and wonder and madness!~~ Though Celebrimbor's day is about to become a little more complicated based on the playful chitter that follows.)

Elbereth above! What are you? (No, he has never seen a raccoon and this one is rather...large. And animated! But who can blame her - definitely a her - when Celebrimbor spies two little faces peeking out of a cabinet.)

...ah... I think I might need assistance.

(Fresh from a bath, Celebrimbor looks even more like some ethereal being. Arda Elves are all rather bright yet those in Hadriel are...dimmed. By sorrow. By grief. By a thousand and one reasons that they cannot put into words. Sauron's taint lies heavily on Celebrimbor's skin in particular, but as he sits, methodically braiding his black hair over a pale shoulder, he looks as if he is in another place entirely. Somewhere beyond the shadows.)

What do you think of being in love? (The network needs a lighter train of thought, he thinks. He is tired of raging; of hurting.) Even if it is not meant to last forever, does it have worth? Meaning?

(Private to Curufin, Maedhros & Fingon.)

(This long sigh is likely telling.)

I am in trouble.

So...relatives? How many do you have in Hadriel? I'm lucky to have two by the looks of it, but -

~~I didn't know either of them.~~

It's weird. I feel like I should be better prepared for a lot of things.

[This is Anakin Skywalker, he who fails at life repeatedly and yet claims, with dramatic intensity, that he is more than wise enough, more than powerful enough to be on the Jedi Council.]

Heya, guys. I'm sure a few of you um, already know what I'm gonna say.

[Chris definitely doesn't look as cheery as usual, but also not terribly upset; mostly he just seems a little drained, but otherwise calm enough.]

Em's uh... Emily's gone. So I guess I'm gonna have to take over for her in the 'telling people like it is' department, and I'd add like, the 'being right' one but I'm already right at least as often as she is. However, I'm totally not doing the sewing or getting up early to run the coffee cart parts. Gonna need other people to step in on those.

[And okay, joking aside, he takes a deep breath and continues.]

I know um, I know a lot of people here knew her, but not necessarily much about uh... What we're going back to, at home, since I don't think she talked about it much. So if anyone has any questions about that, I can probably answer, and hopefully that'll make things... You know. A little easier?

[Worrying about what people are returning to is usually the hardest part on him, when someone leaves, after all. Oh, and one more thing--]

Wolfie's still here, by the way. So no one freak if you see him with me; as Em always said, he only bites if you're an asshole.

Fear not the foul visions! They cannot harm you. They are as reflections in glass; ephemeral.

But they can cause the heart to start! As such, I suggest traveling and even resting in pairs. I know this will be uncomfortable for some, yet there is much within Hadriel that goes against our comfort and our wishes.

May the protection of the Valar ne'er leave you.

Hey, nice job with that whole game, guys. You all did really well, I was impressed. Hope you're enjoying the blessings.

Anyway, my team won. Great job on the teamwork and coordination, that was pretty awesome. I love seeing people working together - but not too hard, you know? Shoutout to Rage's team, too, you guys did real good but she doesn't like it much when you make Delight sad. Kinda thought that would be obvious, but still, good effort!

All right, Team Tranquility. Let me know what you'd each like as your prize and I'll see what I can do.

[Ikaruga appears on the network with a serene look on her face. She's currently polishing her sword tidily in her lap, keeping it shiny and well-maintained.]

Good evening, fellow residents of Hadriel. There is a certain peace of mind that comes from being capable of defending oneself. Exercise is an excellent way to stay healthy as well.

[She continues polishing the sword at an unhurried, deliberate pace before looking up again.]

That being said, I have decided to offer lessons in the art of the sword. I am also willing to be a sparring partner to those who already have training. If anyone is interested, kindly reply here or send me a private message.

[Filtered to Team Tranquility]

I propose a friendly competition. Whomever makes the most people from other teams feel tranquil will receive a home cooked meal from me.

Many of you seem to be unhappy.

We don't all necessarily want you to be happy, but acceptance and adaptation to your situation would be a start. The only question that remains is: how?

It is clear to us that your species resolves many issues through communication. Unfortunately, none of us understand the human psyche as clearly as others of your species, and so I leave it to you to communicate with and to help one another.

You may consider this post an open forum in which you can discuss what's been bothering you. In turn, I will conceal your identities, so that you may help one another without preconceived biases. If you'd like to reveal yourselves to one another, the option is there, but unnecessary.

Heal. Recover.

I'll leave you to it.

(Oh how he wishes he could simply write this instead of speaking to the populace directly. But his conscience will not allow him to take the easy way out.)

I wish to apologize profusely for my behavior. (He will not name anyone specifically - and further embarrass them - but his dark head is hanging dejectedly.)

For those who desired an Elvish sword, I have made five. You are welcome to come by the Forge to test them for yourself. I am certain you will not damage them.

(Because he made them and his works last.)

since a whole bunch of you just got here, i just wanted to point out that if you need clothes altered or tailor made so you have more than just the clothes you got here in, i have a standing deal with delight: tell her one happy memory, and she'll give you a bolt of good cotton fabric in a solid color

we have a sewing shop by the lake. [attachment: map.jpg] you'll know it when you see it

pell and i can mend and sew or teach you how to sew your own clothes

[She's about to post this when she remembers her new bff, who goes just about everywhere with her. On most days. Unless he's hunting.]

lately i bring our house's wolf when i'm there. he's nice, but he will attack you if you're an asshole

[That last part is a lie, but she's just going to leave it at that.]

(ooc: Action logs with Emily (and Wolfie) at the shop can be done in Emily's inbox or in the log comm. She's there pretty much every day and makes it a point not to be too mean to people, which... isn't saying much! I'm also down to handwave meetings.)
