Aaron sang me a prayer to Elbereth once, in Quenya. They related?

Great! I can set up the wood while it's still light but it'd be dangerous if I tried lightning it and hanging around in the dark. I have zero desire to catch fire.

[thebalrogslayer]

One and the same. I don't suppose you remember it?

Ah, I see how it is, if you're going to be setting fire to things you want a nightlight around. Speaking of which - have you seen the same light from Liam or Ariel?

[espigeonage]

Nice. I remember the tune, that's about it. Sorry.

Haha, yeah. I wonder if that'd spoil the mood! There's supposed to be a light flickering against the darkness. Too bad we can't put a blanket over you. And, no, you're the only one I've seen glowing.

[thebalrogslayer]

No, it's all right, I was just curious. I think I'd like to remember more about them, but I can't think of a way to trigger more echoes. I don't think they... worshipped the stars, not in the same sense people would here, so I don't think that'll do anything.

You're not putting a blanket over me, not unless it gets really cold. [But at least he knows it's an elf thing now. Even though he still wonders why only Julien can see it.]

[espigeonage]

All right. I hope it doesn't get me more - what the hell the Apostle had a cult for, maybe. You'd better hold me down if I decide to sacrifice anyone though. I'll burn some of my molt and that should be fine.

Oooh, you'd look like a cheap ghost! Missed Halloween opportunity, Gabe.

[thebalrogslayer]

No, I'd look like a cheap ghost to you and a bloke in a sheet to everyone else.

Don't worry, though, there'll be no sacrificing under my watchful gaze. Unless it involves marshmallows, and perhaps potatoes.

[espigeonage]

You'll always be an expensive cheap ghost to me.

Maybe sausage? I may be able to find something vegan, I'll have to check. Wouldn't do to have real meat with Liam there! I'm sure the god in the fire will be satisfied.

[thebalrogslayer]

Charmed, I'm sure.

Thanks for reminding me, I'll have to make sure I get vegan marshmallows. I'll head to the health food shop. In fact, why don't you leave the sausages, you get the wood and the matches and I'll bring the food. If we leave Liam just to bring his good self he might get there safely. [He's teasing, mostly.]

[espigeonage]

Oooh, that's right, they might have gelatin. Get the other stuff for s'mores too.

Sounds good! I can ask him to bring stuff to sit on. He likes camping, he should have foldy chairs. I need a stool, or just a blanket will do.

[thebalrogslayer]

Will do, captain. [Laughing.]

Chairs is a good idea too. Possibly blankets for warmth as well.

[espigeonage]

It's so nice to have power. Heh. Muhehehe.

Cool. It's been a little warmer lately but not far above freezing, even in the day.

[thebalrogslayer]

Don't let it go to your head now.

The fire will help, but still best to wrap up warm then.

[espigeonage]

Or you'll sit on me, yes yes, and the god in the fire will not appear. [he's just playing] I'll be good.

Right! I'll bring a thing or two in case Liam does not.
