[Standing in front of the machine known as the terminal, Thorin frowned. He had only figured out how to work this from others he had met upon arriving into the tower. He hoped his calls would be answered as he was not in the best of moods right now. Being kidnapped was something any dwarf objected to.]

If anyone is listening to this, I have some questions. Do you know who abducted us from our world and placed us within this tower? I demand to be told why and if there is a way out. [There has to be.]

Also, is there anywhere to find food and drink as I am rather hungry and thirsty. I cannot live on fresh air alone.

[This was directed to his captors, whomever they might be.]

I urge someone to answer this as I am need of aid and answers. I will not be held in this prison willingly. Know this.

If you can't stomach the cafeteria food, I could probably make you something. But it's not charity work, if you know what I mean.

If you didn't know about the cafeteria in the first place, that's where you get your daily meals.

[He would not say no to home cooking. The boy's offer was indeed tempting.]

I would not say no to some home cooking. If you are indeed, offering.

[concept_killer]

If there's anything specific you want, you'll have to kill it yourself, so you know. Otherwise, you'll just have to have whatever I drag in for the day. You can find plenty of normal creatures on various floors to kill.

Re: video;

[sonof_thrain]

[Kill? Hunting? This excited Thorin some as he did enjoy a good hunting trip.]

I enjoy a good hunt when the need arises. What animals dwell on these floors?

Re: video;

[concept_killer]

On floor, uh....thirty-two, you can find most of anything normal. Deer, boar, that kind of thing.

Re: video;

[sonof_thrain]

Floor thirty-two. [Thorin grunted and nodded. This would prove most useful if he wanted to hunt his own food. He didn't fancy the idea of using this cafeteria. Whatever that was.]

Are the use of campfires allowed within the tower? So that we may cook our kill.

Re: video;

[concept_killer]

As long as you're on one of the outdoor floors, I don't see why not.

Re: video;

[sonof_thrain]

[This was perking Thorin's spirits up immensely. Hunting and cooking food outdoors? He would rather be doing that than skulking around dingy floors.]

I thank you for this information, lad. What is your name? I am Thorin Oakenshield. Do you know if there is a smithy or blacksmith around somewhere?

Re: video;

[concept_killer]

Most people just call me Satsujinki. For what you want, there's a workshop on floor fifteen but the equipment is pretty rickety so you have to be careful when using it.

[Rabbit hasn't yet gotten the chance to go exploring yet, he was still hung up on the dormitory area. He doesn't really need to eat after all, and he was still busy trying to see who else was hanging around these floors.

Like, say, for example, a small hairy man. That's interesting. Why don't we go talk to him?

Rabbit gives himself away quite quickly, it isn't like he's going to win any awards for sneaking, the clanging, whirring, clicking automaton making quite the bit of noise approaching the terminal Thorin is at. The smile on his face is friendly, if a bit crooked and odd looking]

Ki-kinda like a bad j-joke innit? Y-y-y-ya think they'd gi-give us a map or somethin', have ya se-seen the size of this place?

[A whistle. He saw the stairs alone.]

Re: action

[sonof_thrain]

[He narrowed his eyes at the strange creature on the screen. Joke? Thorin didn't find this funny one bit.]

Nay, not a joke. This is some kind of cruel trick. Keeping us locked in this tower like animals. I will not have it. [He growled.] How long have you been here?

action

[spaghettiinmysoul]

[It's kind of funny. If you look at it right.]

Ju-ju-just got here! I wa-wa-was lookin' at all those stairs. Hear there's an el-elevator too but that's gonna take a while t'get down.

Ha-haven't found the exit yet though.

Re: action

[sonof_thrain]

[Was there something wrong with the way he spoke?]

Elevator? Does that take you to the exit?

action

[spaghettiinmysoul]

..... Nope! Ta-ta-takes ya t'the first floor, I think. I haven't tri-tried it yet!

Hear there's a cafeteria there. S'got food. N-n-n-not good food, 'parently but food.

Hey! How 'bout we bo-both take the elevator down an' see what's goin' on there?

Re: action

[sonof_thrain]

[He was a bit unsure about this creature but it seemed to be harmless so far. Thorin nodded.]

Very well. I haven't eaten since I arrived so I could do with something to fill my stomach.

action

[spaghettiinmysoul]

[Really, Rabbit was as harmless as one could get. No need to worry about him.]

G-g-great!

S-say, what's your name, bu-buddy? I ca-ca-can't call ya shorty or anythin'!

[Rabbit no]

I'm Rabbit!

Re: action

[sonof_thrain]

[Shorty? Oh no, you didn't. Have a deep scowl for that one.]

I am a dwarf. Thorin, son of Thror, son of Thrain. King under the Mountain. [King. Got that part?]

video; oh gosh i late but here i come uncle's bro

[ringbearer]

[ well goodness that guy seems ..well, like a dwarf. he knows a dwarf, gimli son of gloin, a dear companion he willingly separated from along with the either others of their company. still -- it's a ring of nostalgia. something about him ...

at the best, he's polite, feeling as if he's his uncle, addressing thirteen hungry dwarves, save perhaps, just one, this time. ]

There is a cafeteria, on one of the floors. As for why we're here --

[ there's a sobering expression ]

I don't quite understand myself.

Re: Better late than never, eh Frodo? ;)

[sonof_thrain]

[Another hobbit. As Thorin looked down he saw the young lad in front of him. He bore some resemblance to Bilbo with his mop of curly hair. Relations, perhaps?]

Aye. There is unmistakable evil within this place. Have you just arrived also, hobbit? I would not like to see you become trapped like myself. No fate should befit any creature of good will.

[Thorin despised every part of this retched tower. His mood was ill because of it.]

that's true he's not gandalf he has no excuse for bein late alfkejwa

[ringbearer]

[ he peered thoughtfully still into the screen, wondering what the dwarf had on his mind as his eyes fell on his. ]

There are great evils everywhere, Master Dwarf.

[ said politely, as frodo frowns a little in agreement. ]

I've been here for a time, longer than I should like. You are from Middle-earth, aren't you?

Re: apart from getting lost within Hobbiton XD

[sonof_thrain]

Aye, I have come to understand this now. I still do not know why we have all been placed within this tower. No one seems to be able to give me an answer. [Would the hobbit know why?]

I am. Thorin, son of Thror, son of Thrain. King under the Mountain. [He nodded.]

What of you, hobbit?

Re: apart from getting lost within Hobbiton XD

[ringbearer]

[ well that wasn't what he was expecting, and in complete silence does frodo stare at him. there's a widening of the eyes, an almost stricken expression. surely he's dreaming. king thorin oakenshield, bilbo's friend long departed into the realm of stories, stories a young frodo had loved to learn about, to take part in. ]

..Thorin Oakenshield? Of the thirteen dwarves who went to Erebor? Thorin?

[ he's blinking rapidly, stunned as he glances down, then up, feeling as if he were a child, somehow. ]

--Excuse me, I hadn't meant to --

[ another pause wow this is crazy ]

Frodo Baggins, is my name. You..you traveled with my Uncle!

Aw, Frodo is fanboying <3

[sonof_thrain]

Aye, 'tis me you are looking upon, master Baggins. [Another Baggins. How many where there in this world?]

I am travelling with young Bilbo Baggins. [He nodded. Alas, what had happened to him now? Thorin was stuck within the walls of this cursed tower with no means of escape.]

You seemed surprised to see me.

he's just moved ok

[ringbearer]

[ he means to travel -- so then..he hasn't died. if he hadn't met those who went before him he might have not believed it, but things change. he's been places, he's seen things. so it's with a pause that frodo answers carefully, some of the vigor fading from his face. ]

I think I'd be surprised to see anyone, least of all a companion of my Uncle's.

Re: I think it's fantastic and cute :)

[sonof_thrain]

Aye. There are many things this tower hides and deceived us with. I am sorry they brought you along here too, mister Baggins. [He seemed younger than Bilbo, almost too innocent to be brought to this tower of hell. Who was doing this? Thorin was still determined to fight them.]

Perhaps it would be best if we stay together, mister Baggins. There are rumours of monsters and terrors within these walls.
