◎first quest { video }
[ 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.

[ ... Oh well, Ganondorf won't insist too much, Frodo is in a sad enough state as is. ]
You are free to believe what you wish boy, as foolish as it is. However your hope is but a chimera, so please spare us the optimism on the network. Many here live in reality rather than in a dream.
[Voice]
[ his tone is cold, colder than it's usual warmth, and when frodo speaks it's stiff ]
A good day to you then.
