001 BITE. VOICE.

[bewareofdog]

It's a bit to take in. The entire world is gone... or my world.

And all I got to console myself is with this fuckin' oatmeal bullshit.

These people really don't know how to treat anyone, do they?

[bewareofdog]

[ His head bobs from side to side before nodding. ] Yea, I am.

But still loyal to one another? I can respect that.

[keeps_count]

Of course. Blood may not tie us together but we are kin. I would lay down my life for him, as he would me.

[bewareofdog]

An oath sworn, or simply how it is for you lot?

[keeps_count]

That is how it is among Elven-kind.

[bewareofdog]

Yakuza, too, which is what I am.

It's not a race of people, but what I was part of. Both in world and in organization. Nice, huh?

[keeps_count]

Yakuza? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with what that is.

Perhaps you would care to tell me of it?

[bewareofdog]

Well, since you've been all nice about givin' me information about yer faery world, I should be nice and give some info back. 'Sides, it's not critical info.

The way that most people would say that we are is organized crime syndicates. Bit more complicated than that. Got more honor and loyalty than what that title gives. We're organized and stricter than what people'd think. Got a set code -- don't get innocents involved in our business. Shit like that. Gettin' the idea?

[keeps_count]

Faery world?

I believe that I am, yes. I am curious as to why others would describe it as a crime syndicate however.

[bewareofdog]

Yea. Faery world.

'Cause we are a bit, and there are a few of us that seem to forget themselves. [ eeeheeeheee! ] But the bonds are tighter than anywhere else. It's one of the things that we uphold above all else.

[keeps_count]

That's hardly a fitting 'name' for Ennor

[Oh great-- No, Legolas wouldn't judge. His father had named Bilbo Elf-friend, an honorable burglar.]

That is quite noble. Such bonds are to be respected.

[bewareofdog]

"'n' or," what?

[ He points at the screen, smiling wide. ]

Damn straight!

[keeps_count]

Ennor.

[Slightly more emphasis on the word.] It is what we elves call Middle Earth.

[No comment... Swearing, blegh.]

[bewareofdog]

Ah.

So there's an upper and lower Earth?

[keeps_count]

There is not, it is simply the name of our part of Arda.

[bewareofdog]

Arda?

[keeps_count]

The world that I hail from.

[bewareofdog]

So, does it got other faeries and shit on it?

[keeps_count]

That is a rather crude way of asking about Arda. I can only speak for Middle Earth however as I have never sailed beyond these lands. No there are no fairies. The are Elves, Goblins, Orcs, Hobbits, Men and very large spiders. Dragons as well but it's been... Oh a century or so since I saw or heard of any being seen. Smaug was the last I heard of and he was slain.

[bewareofdog]

Not really into fantasy. So, then, what the hell's a hobbit, goblin and orc? Ain't goblin and orcs the same?

[keeps_count]

It is hardly fantasy.

Hobbits are small but stout folk, about two to four feet tall. And they are... related, I suppose is the most accurate description. Goblins are smaller breeds of orc.

[bewareofdog]

Right. My bad.

... eh? That short? Wow, you could almost put 'em in yer pocket, eh?

I was right!

But it sucks you don't have any dragons. It'd be fun to ride one.

[keeps_count]

[Cracking a smirk, a small one.]

They are easy enough to carry, if it were needed.

[Okay smirk gone.] They are very dangerous, completely without mercy. I would never wish to ride on one.

[bewareofdog]

I'd guess so. Like carryin' around a kid.

[ Eyes widen. ]

Really? No shit? [ A pause as he gets a little thoughtful. ] That makes me wanna ride one even more...

[keeps_count]

Quite like it, yes.

[Let this elf shake his head. If another elf is seeing this conversation, he probably is doing the same.]

If you wish to die quickly but painfully, that is one of the 'best' ways to do it.
