1st Adventure [Video/Action] June 11, late morning

[pushingthreeseven]

[Pippin has a chair he's pushed over in front of one of the terminals in the lobby of Building 2 to stand on, and he's spent the past half an hour fiddling around with the terminal itself. Now he's finally got it right, and he's peering through the camera, onto the network.

He looks like he hasn't been sleeping well at all, but he's got a smile anyway, because that's what Pippin does.]

Ah. Um. Hello? Hello! I'm... I'm Pippin. I'm from the Shire, in Middle Earth. I've never seen anywhere like this before, I've got to say. Not even Citagazze was quite like this!

[The smile turns a bit sheepish when he gets around to why he's done this.]

I was wondering... is anyone interested in swapping rooms? I just really... don't much like being so high up. It's really kind of hard to get comfortable, when you're used to living in a hobbit hole, really. If anyone has a ground floor room, I'd be happy to trade mine. It's a very nice room, I'm sure, but it's just not so good for a hobbit.

I'll be down here in the lobby, building two, if you want to trade keys.

[And Legolas remains at that level, giving Pippin a small smile. 'All right' could mean a whole multitude of things and he still wasn't sure if he was. He... missed his friends in the tower. His allies.]

I am as well as I can be. And I've good company here to keep it that way.

[pushingthreeseven]

[Pippin isn't really in the habit of questioning an elf who says he's all right-- though that wording doesn't really mean "all right", now, does it?-- so he just gives Legolas a skeptical and concerned look, then backs up to hop back up onto his chair. Feet once again dangling.]

Well, I'll do my best, anyway. How have you been? How was Gimli? He's not here, too, is he?

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Legolas stands then, watching Pippin with a smile. Even as he's given a skeptical look. If he hadn't wanted to explain to Thranduil just what had happened in the tower, there was no way he was going to burden Pippin.]

Gimli! No, unfortunately he's not. When last I saw him, he was quite the old dwarf but still as stubborn as ever. He was to sail with me to the West, a special honor that he was granted.

[Sidestepping the how he's been bit. And ignoring that Gimli was in the tower.]

[pushingthreeseven]

Oh, that's wonderful, I know you two were very good friends by the end of it all. I'm glad you got to bring him along.

[He pauses, briefly confusing himself, since that is many years in his future.]

Or, will get to. Since I don't think that's happened yet when I remember last. He wasn't very old, at all, after all.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

As am I. He earned that right and I'm sure he'll be glad to see the Lady Galadriel once more.

[Luckily, Legolas got used to the idea of everyone being from different times. Having seen Boromir in the tower really put things in perspective for him.]

If he's ever brought here, with hope, he'll not be such an old dwarf.

[pushingthreeseven]

I hope so. I did, after all! And if Gimli was so old when you're from, I'm probably even older. I bet they wouldn't even consider bringing me, if I was that old, not for someplace like this where you're supposed to be nice about touching people. No one would want a grabby old hobbit wanting hugs from everyone.

[Not that he thinks much about when he gets old. He assumes he'll have a wife and a passel of children by then, but that's far off in the future. He's not ready to settle down yet.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

My yes! Though, charming as hobbits are, I doubt a great many people would mind.

[He can't help but laugh and oh how he needed that. The thought of a terribly old Pippin getting grabby here was hilarious. He won't mention his or Merry's passing though, despite the honor they were given in lying beside the king of Gondor.]
