[ on the screen is a small, unassuming character. the only startling thing about him is the large, tired blue eyes peering in. there's the glint of a chain beneath his clothes when he stirs, and over his body is a worn green cloak.
when he speaks, it's slowly, carefully. he looks pale, a bit shaken still from the network but his voice is sure: ]
While I haven't been here long, I'd like to leave as much as anyone else.
[ quietly: ]
I do not believe our homes are truly destroyed.
[ frodo's eyes lower, before he speaks again: ]
Not only that but I should like to know how many come from the world of Arda. Or 'Middle-earth'. To me, it is my home.
And..if any of you have seen a hobbit about my size, with lighter hair, a bit stout, with a frying pan? His name is Samwise Gamgee. Or perhaps a strange creature, who calls himself 'Smeagol' or 'Gollum'. He tends to like the shadows. I am..responsible for him.
[ it's sad how he's used to this. first the ship, now this strange place. it seems his road is far longer than he could have imagined, and frodo quietly despairs a little in his heart, though it stubbornly clings to hope. ]
If not, I would ask if any come from a ship called the 'Tranquility'. I had been dwelling there for a time, and would wish to know of it's fate.
[ he seems to hesitate for a minute, but the question is necessary ]
Should you be from Middle-earth..I would ask if the Fellowship is a familiar word to any of you.

[voice]
What other option is left to me? I carry the Ring in this Tower. Am I to let it fall into the hands of another, to watch it wound them as it does me?
[ it's either destroy it, or be overcome by it at last. just as gandalf had said, ' one who carries one of the great rings does not grow older, he simply fades.']
[voice]
Now I can see why the Grey Pilgrim left that ring within your care. Your determination alone differs from those who've once pledged themselves to destroy it.
[voice]
[ quietly ]
I know that it can only destroy, and it will destroy me and any who might seek to take it should it succeed. I've no wish to see anyone face such an end, and so the Ring will stay with me. I chose the task, not them.
[ he doesn't tell haldir he's loathe to part with it, in some ways. that parts of him want to only keep it. ]
