[ frodo despite his quiet nature, his habit to keep to himself in this place, is still present. he looks far more worn (worse) than last he spoke, his eyes shadowed and blue, face pale. in his hands is a book, acquired from the library, and yes, he's aware of what's been happening.

you'd think he's speak grim words, with such a worn looking body, but instead his voice is light, faint but present: ]


Do you have a story? One that perhaps you've grown up with as a child? Or one that's stayed with you. 'That really mattered, ' As a dear friend might say.

I think I should like to hear of such stories, if you can still remember them. I asked a place before this one the same question, but each person has a different tale, or so I'd believe. What of yours? 

[ if you can still remember them in a place as dark as this, they same to grow darker still, the places he goes. ]

I have a few stories of brave and kind people who kept going, even when the world was ending around them. However, while I could list them all, it would take far too long. Instead..this poem sometimes fills me with some courage when I don't have any left. Maybe it shall give you some.


Surrender not to the rain,
Surrender not to the wind,
Nor yet to the snow nor heat of summer.
Holding fast the body sound
Without greed and
Grieving not our wrongs
Ever with a quiet smile.

Shedding tears in time of drought,
Walking bewildered in the summers of cold,

Named by all a good-for-naught
Neither praised
Nor concerned.

Such a figure
I wish to be.

..It's not a bad sort of person to be at all. It's not the sort of person I wish to be..but to smile and keep going, even if you're mocked, even if life keeps kicking you, not caring whether you're made fun of..it's a pretty strong thing to do.

I think everyone faces those things at some point in their lives, whether they realize it or not.

Thank you though. Hopefully you haven't faced too many of those things.

[..She hears that tired voice, Frodo, and she understands where it's coming from, she really does.]

..So do I..pain and suffering are horrible, even if they do have good points and endings. However, sometimes, you cannot.

I imagine many people have face many of those things and haven't been able to avoid some suffering..but..this Tower isn't full of just suffering and despair. Not all parts of the journey are full of pebbles in your shoes, and not every sad ending is completely sad.

[Tohko smiles as she types. There we go!~]

Of course. No matter where you go, there will always be good people hanging about, even if you don't realize it. And it's not selfish that you wanted to and are happy that you're able to see your friends again here! That's normal. Even Hell can be made a Purgatory with the right people.

While no one from my universe has come here, I'm happy to see that people from yours are.

[Even if it brought them danger and ruin, there were probably a lot of people who would still stand by Frodo and try to make sure that he didn't crumble. Or, if he did, that he didn't crumble much.

Tohko paused before she typed. That was true..she had made a lot of wonderful, precious friends here..but there was no denying that she wanted to see her family again.]

That's true..I have made a lot of wonderful friends here..but I didn't know that you had come from a different place like this before! You're not the only one I've met like that, to be honest.

I see..while that was probably dangerous, it must have been wonderful to travel through the stars and see them close up as you flew by!

[Anon Text...but, Frodo, she's..actually trying to be careful with the networks for once..><:]

[Ah..so this was another person from Tolkien's universe. Interesting. Not that she would mention it.]

Actually, I could imagine a hobbit doing things like that. Others may not..but some of them are adventurous, if put into the right circumstances.

[Tohko gives a small sigh as she types. How to reply..]

..I'm just trying to be careful with the networks nowadays. They are monitored, you know.

Such stories are foolish, not everyone has had the privilege of such stories.

[ Daddy walking out on you as a kid, well that was not a good story. ]

Why is it you would wish to hear them? [ Maybe it might damper the tower situation? She's guessing.. ]

It means, I do not listen to childhood stories. [ Or that she has ever been told of them. ]

Which sort of things are these?
autopsic: (♚ } is it really necessary.)

[personal profile] autopsic 2013-04-05 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
Depending on the depth of the story, I suppose that could be the case. However, if one story is in fact dark already, then your point would become invalid.

And you would think of stories when a time becomes unpleasant? I don't seem to follow your logic. [ She doesn't follow that logic, living in a school of mutual killing gives you that mindset, she supposes. But encouraging? Logically, stories are the last thing she would think of. ]

[ a giggle. ]

What about a scary story?
blackwitch: (people to like you)

[personal profile] blackwitch 2013-03-05 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Kyahaha..! I guess you're right, this is like a scary story come to life! But I'm thinking more of the kind adults tell kids to scare them into behaving, you seeee..?
blackwitch: (well; you can hide a lot about yourself)

[personal profile] blackwitch 2013-04-03 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh..? You must never have heard one of the good ones, then! There's plenty of scary things that even adults can't just forget about!
