Plot, history, and all that jazz:
The Tale of Middle-earth, and by which I mean this site, and those within.
History: The people here in Middle-earth are real people, along with our dear co-authors, to those who have them. Our tales are told, and we have things to do, and places where we go. In truth, everyone of us is, in a manner, a normal person, even if we are from many different places. Herein, we tell our tale, and try to make you see us as we are, truely. For Eowyn Skywalker and Trinity and Darth Warious and Adrienne Gollumeyes and Audreidi... and all the other Middle-earthians... we really are out there. ((This RPG, we play our user name characters... giggle, and co-authors, if you have one.)). At the moment, what's happened in Middle-earth is told in the news banner... the garlic, and all that. So that'll be the bases for the tale. Form characters based on your user name, and have fun, really. This will be a spoofy RPG, set in Middle-earth... and by which we mean the world between High Earth, and Lower Earth, the lands were all who wish to escape the confines of their worlds may come. *My posts'll explain much, methinks, since I'm leading this...*
Plot: Plot? Well, basically, those on the Dark Side are attacking, sorta, and Middle-earth must escape the clutches of insanity to defeat the Shadow *played by the co-authors, mainly, I think*... for if they cannot leave the insanity behind, and actually work to defeat the Shadow, Middle-earth will forever fall into darkness... yeah, another quest. Don't think it will be easy, either... try and make a profile for your Middle-earthian characters, and stick to that... we'll see how this one goes...
Characters: Anyone signed onto Middle-earth, who wants to participate, along with their co-authors. Also, if neither you, nor a co-author are evil, please play an evil too, if you can.
Basic character thing:
Celebrian is the Head of the Light Side, closely followed by Eowyn Skywalker, who is kinda the main operative of Light... most of the time. Jandalf is the leading Light Side Magic user, and Trinity is the Light Side... well... I'm not sure. But she's also very important, because of her cool Matrix powers.
Agent Vader should be the head of the Dark Side, along with Anakin... plus I think we need a Saurony character Dark Lordy guy too.. we'll work these out as the story goes along.

Try to keep OOC down to a minimum... I know, I'm bad for that one, and try to do worthwhile posts. Follow typical rules, and, if you need to discuss plot with anyone, use the PM system, or make a discussion thread to go along with it. Use your co-authors wisely, my friends, and don't be afraid to join. May the Force be with you all, in this battle against the Dark Forces of Evil. Agent Vader and Anakin are the head evils... this should be good...

Eowyn Skywalker
Eowyn Skywalker, known among those who knew her as Tiana, walked around Middle-earth boredly, as usual. She had this strange problem with being bored all the time, so everything was normal. The insanity could not be escaped, and everything seemed... well... Middle-earthian.
Ah yes, Middle-earth. Those lands between High Earth, and Bottom Earth, where few dared tarry, and those were the ones who wished to escape the ways of the other two worlds, the Higher Earth, and Lower Earth. Middle-earth itself had been merely a fluke, and that was probably why they had control of the planet now. When they had first taken conquest of Middle-earth, the lands had been old and worn, with nothing to them save the strangeness that came from middle worlds. Really, there was nothing that anyonw would've wanted, but them. They had wished for a place away from the other two Earths, the High, and Low Earths, the one also known as Bottom Earth, for a time. Now the lands were green, and fair, and those who tarried were gratifiyed to enjoy their stay, as long as they didn't mind the strangeness of it all.
Sure, the world was strange, but that was how they had wanted it, with it's two moons, and orbiting Death Star Planetary Defence System. It was everything that they would've needed. But there was something wrong, a level of uncertainty hung in the air about her, the one called Eowyn Skywalker. As if something was massing on the horizon, a calm before a strike. She didn't understand it, for her evil co-author, nameingly Anakin Skywalker turned Sith, had been forced into the East, to the stronghold that seemed very much like the Imperial version of Mordor. There was no way that the co-authors could return, or was there? That was one thing that she could not be sure of.
And there it was, faintly on the horizon, and wafting in gently, as something in the distance. The faint scent of garlic, that of the Shadow, the Dark Side. She tightened her face, and whirled around towards the Citadel, where the Light Side people massed. The Darkness had returned.
***
Anakin
Watching from the far East lands of Morstar, Anakin (the one turned Sith, but not Vader... snrk) watched the Citadel. The hated lands of the East had thrown them out, and sent them into these spotless, and metalic lands. He glared at the furry lizards that clustered around the walls, preventing him from sensing anything through the Force. The Insane Rebels WOULD think of that little addition to his stronghold, the Yslamari (sp?). Sent into Shadow, and to a place where garlic would not grow naturally...plus there was no peanut butter..., Anakin lived in torment. But the time would come when he would get his revenge, and have control over Middle-earth. The Middle-earthians had one weakness, and that was in their mere insaness.
T'was true, at their last battle, Eowyn Skywalker... Tiana... she had forced herself to leave the insaneness behind, and forced herself to be who she was-- a Jedi, but the others were not like that. In fact, though Eowyn now had her normal streak from that defeat... though it was still a loss to him... there was still no way that they could defeat the Shadowtroopers, armed with Garlic Blasters, and cloaked in Shining Mithril Armor. Middle-earth would fall to the Dark Side, and there was no way to escape the inevitable concusion.

Trinity
Trinity stood on top of a high rise buidling in the middle of New York city. She often came there to be alone for as long as she could until an Agent found her. But this day was different. " Trinity," came a man's voice behind her, causing her to jump. " Neo, don't sneak up on me like that!" she laughed nervously, knowing he was not going to like what he heard next. " Are you alright, Trin?" he asked as he neared her. She didn't answer. " I knew it, I could smell it," he said with a sigh. " Yes, it does stink," she said quietly as she lightly sniffed the air, which held the faint scent of garlic. " Well, I know you must go," he said as he handed her a phone. " I'll be back, Neo," she reassured him before putting the phone to her ear and disappearing, leaving him alone. When she looked up, she could see the large Citadel in front of her. With a sigh, she began to make her way up the stairs, armed with a paintball gun loaded with hot pink paintballs, knowing that the fight was just about to begin.
***
Agent Vader
"Well, how are we doing?" Agent Vader asked his commander. " Our progress will please you, my lord," the trembling man answered as Agent Vader wheezed down on him. " Good, very good," Agent Vader responded, half to himself and half to his commander. He stared out across the barren land. " Is the garlic growing well?" he asked after a moment. " It is, my lord," the commander answered, wishing that he would be dismissed. " You are dismissed," Agent Vader said, and the poor commander left the room. Lost in thought of his war, Agent Vader continued looking out across the land and dreaming of revenge against those who confined him in this prison and Trinity, deprived him of his Pepsi.

A tall, orange-robed figure sniffed the air from her position on the high balcony of her room at the Citadel, and thought, Not garlic again...I hope the Evil Ones haven't concocted any pink dye as of yet.
Obi-Wan leaned against the edge of the rail. "Your Padawan said she was coming."
"Good," mused Jandalf. "The High Council of Mods will have to hold a meeting soon. The garlic is growing stronger with every day."
"Has it ever occurred to you," Obi-Wan remarked, "how awfully lame we seem to be today?"
"Oh, that's all right. It's just another spoof." With that, Jandalf turned to go back inside. "You coming?"
Obi-Wan shrugged and followed her in.
Jandalf paused. "Oh, good. I think Trinity's making a connection to the Citadel. She should arrive promptly." She rubbed her hands together. "Council time."
***
Meanwhile, in a dark land far far away, Exar Kun (who had managed to find a clone of himself somehow) walked up and knocked sharply on a door. He sensed another dark side user inside. While he waited, he plugged his nose. Garlic. The land reeked of garlic, and he sensed there were people everywhere who didn't know how to spell "ysalamiri".
"IT'S Y-S-A-L-A-M-I-R-I!!!" Exar Kun suddenly screamed, unable to take the pressure, as the door slowly swung open.

Anakin
Anakin suddenly found himself running into the very dark lord, Exar Xun, one of the three evils that ran Morstar now, as he entered into the Dark Lord's throne room. Anakin was one evil, and Agent Vader was the other. "I am sorry, master," he said. "I did not know how to spell Ysalamiri. The garlic grows stronger with each day now..." The dark Padawan rubbed his hands together gleefully. "Soon, Middle-earth will be ours." He stared at the Dark Lord. "Well, I can't help that we had to grow fields and fields of garlic to have enough, and I can't help it smells. PPPBBBTTTTTTHHHHH!" He stuck his tongue out, and went back to attempting to clone pink dye capsules, stolen from the Citadel itself. He had suceeded in creating a version of Pepsi, though without the brand name label, and then went running off to Agent Vader waving around the Pepsi Pink.
***
Eowyn Skywalker
She looked up at the Citadel, and smiled, sensing that the others of the High Mods had arrived. Trinity's presence in the Force was strong, as was the Pink Dye she carried, and Eowyn knew her Master's signature in the Force quite well. She smiled again. Though the garlic grew stronger with each passing day, there was no way that they could overthrow the High Mods. A council would have to be held, there was no other thing left to do, but conspire, and plan a way to defeat the garlic that lay to the East.
Throwing open the doors to the Citadel, the passage that connected with all the other worlds, Tiana/Eowyn stepped in, and looked around. It was exactly as she had seen it before, that which was the land of the Elf Administrator, Agent Celebrian Anderson, and the Empress Adrienne Gollumeyes (who, unfortunatally, was not there, at the time). The mods of the connected worlds, Trinity of the Matrix, Eowyn Skywalker for Pern, and Jandalf of Corascant, of Star Wars, they were all there. And then she stopped. They weren't all there. T'was true that the Queen Celebrian ruled Middle-earth, and Darth Warious might appear, as the Sith reprecentitive, if she was not in Morstar, and true, Adrienne (Jill Sparrow) would reprecent the world of the Pirates in a counsel, when she was there, which she was not... but there were some High mods missing, though the main rulers were there.
Ever since she had taken the Moderation of Pern, when she had became a Dragon Rider, Tiana/Eowyn had slipped away from the other worlds, in a manner, though she still trained as a Jedi. And it now came to her that there were no mods to reprecent Narnia, the Near-Sighted Elves, or the Pirates there. What had happened to them, she did not know, but wondered, as she climbed the steps to the High Chamber, where inevitably, the counsel would be held.

And then, just as Eowyn Skywalker was reaching the top, she collided abruptly with someone who had had the utter lack of sense to stand at the very top of the staircase for no apparent reason.
"It's spelled Coruscant, Padawan," Jandalf observed absently. "Although, many seem to spell my home planet wrong."
"You were just downstairs," Eowyn S. commented suspiciously. "How did you get up here so fast?"
Jandalf paused, and looked to Obi-Wan, who was standing nearby. "How did we?"
He offered a helpless shrug.
"Okay then." Jandalf turned back to her Padawan. "It's been unanimously decided that we have no idea. Is that all right with you?"
"17'5 4 (0|\|5P1|24(`/," Eowyn S. muttered to herself, sure that she was right.
"I don't think we're going to get a full turnout for the next meeting," Jandalf said, waving a hand at the large circular table that sat in the middle of the High Council chamber, "but that's okay all the same. I'm sure we'll be able to reach a conclusion on whatever we're going to be deliberating about. Which is what I wanted to ask you...why exactly am I here?"
Obi-Wan groaned. "Oh, stars, not this again."
***
Exar Kun snorted. The cheek of this Chosen Brat was unbounded. He chased after Anakin, who was on his way to Agent Vader, deciding a little exercise could do his clone some good. Besides, the smell of garlic wasn't so bad once they got further away from the fields.

*** Trinity
Trinity strode into the building and began to sprint up the flight of stairs to the top. When she reached the top, she collided with the other three, who, for no reason, had decided to stand at the top of the stairs. " Whoa!" she yelled as she tipped backwards and proceeded to roll backwards down the stairs at an alarming rate. She sensed the wall behind her too late to stop herself and slammed into it. She lay in a unceremonious heap for a moment. " Get up, Trinity. Get up!" she told herself. After a moment, she listened to her own advice and pushed herself painfully up off the ground and once again ascended the stairs, this time at a much slower pace. " Nice to see you all too," she muttered when she reached the others, who were staring at her in stunned silence.
*** Agent Vader
Agent Vader walked out to where Exar Kun was chasing Anakin. " CAN I PLEASE HAVE MY IMITATION PEPSI?!" he yelled, causing the two to momentatirly freeze. Anakin walked slowly forward and handed him the pink fluid. " Thank you," Agent Vader said graciously as he took the bottle. " Proceed," he said idly with a wave of his hand. Anakin began to run again as Exar Kun resumed the chase. Agent Vader watched with mild amusement for a moment, then took a swig of his imitation Pepsi. He spat it out as soon as it touched his tongue. " ARGH!" he yelled. Anakin had gotten his garlic fertilizer in it. Again. With a yell, Agent Vader joined the pursuit of Anakin, much to Anakin's dismay.

"Oof," groaned Jandalf, deciding it was safe for her to get off the floor. "Yeah, Trin, what you said. Say, are we starting the meeting soon?"
"I'm hungry," commented Obi-Wan, trying to get up, though it was rather difficult as the edge of his robe was trapped underneath Jandalf's foot. He tripped, and fell again, causing the robe to jerk out from underneath her, which caused her to lose her balance as well and the pair landed in a heap.
***
Exar Kun, while running, stared at Agent Vader. "Wait a minute. Aren't you chasing yourself, in a sense? I mean, Anakin becomes Vader, or at least that's what I've been led to believe. Am I correct in this?"

Anakin
"Hey, how come everyone always picks on me?" he asked, pouting. He finally came to a stop, and pulled out a... garlic detonator! "You will all stop writing my actions into me ALWAYS getting chased, or in trouble somehow, or... or... I'LL DETONATE THIS, AND ALL OF MORSTAR WILL... smell. Yes, that's right, it will smell funny. AND I'M NOT AFRAID OF AGENT VADER!!!!" He stuck his tongue out at the two other Sith Lords, and suddenly stopped, as they both drew lightsabers, and advanced menacingly upon him. "Umm... uh ohh.... HHEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!" Anakin Skywalker proceeded to run for dear life again, and this time because the author who is presently writing him decided that it was funny to have Anakin running for dear life anyhow.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."
"YOU PUT GARLIC IN MY PEPSI PINK!!!"
"CHOSEN BRAT STUCK HIS TONGUE OUT AT ME!!!!"
"AhhhhhhHHHHHHHhhhhhhhHHHHHHhhhhhh... I think I was safer off with Eowyn...."
***
Eowyn Skywalker
"Master, is it not rather a bad idea to stand at the top of the stairs where someone can run into you?" asked Eowyn. "And, for that matter, I wasn't even running... how did I knock you over...?" Eowyn sighed, and left the topic to contamplate later, as she didn't feel like thinking at the moment. "The garlicy stench is getting to me. I think I need to have a shower... Ah yes. THe meeting will commence shortly, as soon as we figure out why you all are here!" she announced. "Ah, what the heck, let's go and alert Queen Celebrian of the Elves, and her co-authors, and start this thing, I guess... we must decide the fate of the garlic!"
She paused for a moment. "And, for that matter, Master Obi-Wan, I'm hungry too... shall we order out for Coruscanti bantha burgers, and blue milk?! Great to see ya, Trinity... where's Neo... doesn't he care that the fate of Middle-earth is hanging by a thread on the edge of a knife, and the balance could tip at any moment and we're all doomed... and it's a conspiracy." She finally gave up, and shrugged. "Yeah. Someone call her highness over here so we can get this councel on the road, and I'll call for take out! No... wait... Jandalf, can't you just kavaam™ something over here to eat? I want CHOCOLATE!!!!! Let's hold the councel at DQ!"

Jandalf paused and stared at her former Padawan. "Yes...I just finished thinking about how standing atop the stairs is a bad idea. You crashed into me in slow motion, or something...have you been watching the Matrix again?"
Eowyn grinned.
"That answers that," sighed Jandalf. "Mayhap we'll all go for a shower after the meeting. We need Queen Celebrian to arrive shortly, or the various authors of this roleplaying game will die of boredom and stuff. Except, of course," she decided, "the debate about what to do about the garlic."
"Coruscanti bantha burgers," was all Obi-Wan could say, having suffered some serious hunger pangs.
Jandalf sighed again, annoying her former Padawan. "Well, here goes nothing. What rhymes with Dairy Queen?"
***
"Only...two...Sith...no more...no less," panted Exar Kun as he ran after Anakin along with Agent Vader. "This...kid...can't be...Sith..."
He tripped over a bulb of garlic and tumbled head-over-heels before landing, sprawled out on the path they had been following, accidentally tripping Agent Vader.

The insanity begain to take hold of Galuwen Turner. She sat on the floor rocking back and forth. "Am I an Elf or a pirate. Elf or pirate. Elf, Pirate. Suiald, avast ye. The light of the evening star and really bad eggs. Drink up me' hobbits yo ho."

Jandalf shrugged. "Wasn't me."

*** Trinity
" Where are the others?" Trinity asked as she massaged her back, which was still aching from the fall. " More importantly, where is the food?" she continued as she looked around the room. There was a large fruit bowl on the table, and she wandered over and picked an apple. " Is she okay?" Trinity asked as she noticed Galuwen Turner sitting in a chair, rocking back and forth.
*** Agent Vader
Agent vader fell to the ground in an unceremonious heep. " Oh, smooth move, Exar!" he gasped as the dark lord fell on him. Anakin came over and looked down at them and began to laugh. " On the count of three, jump up and grab him," Agent Vader muttered. " Okay," Exar Kun quietly replied. " One... two...THREE!" he yelled, and the two larger dark lords ganged up on Anakin and grabbed him.

Post by Tiana, eh? on Jul 5, 2004 22:23:22 GMT -5
Eowyn shrugged. "I'm not sure where the food is... Celebrian was suppose to bring it. Okay, Jandalf, the followings rhyme with Dairy Queen: Hairy Bean. Very Lean. Marry Clean. Good enough? Or can you just conjure up a window for me to pull food from? Are you okay, Trinity? We DON'T need the representitive for the Matrix in pain... oooooh." Suddenly she noticed the newcomer.
"Hi, Galuwen!" she exclaimed. "Hey, did you come to represent the Pirates world?" She looked over at the elvish pirate. "SHE'S GOING INSANE!! See, master, we NEED FOOD NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Coruscanti Bantha burgers," mumbled Obi-Wan, who was still suffering from hunger pains, growing worse by the second.
"How can we debat the fate of the garlic when we're hungry!" Eowyn proclaimed. "We will all fall to its evil and... gasp... we'd EAT it!!!!!!! To Dairy Queen we must go, or else, FIND ME A WINDOW!" (Eowyn Skywalker happened to be very skilled at pulling things from random windows). "Why is it so hard for us to get to eat in stories like this?"
***
Anakin
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" screamed Anakin. "THEY ALWAYS PICK ON... oof."
The older Sith Lords proceeded to sling the littler kid over their shoulder. "No laughing at Sith," Exar Kun muttered at Anakin. Agent Vader muttered things that shouldn't be in print, and said something about poisoned Pepsi.
Anakin sighed. They NEVER put up with his pranks... why did he have to leave the Jedi... at least Eowyn Skywalker was tolerant of him, just pranking him back. "You always gang up on me," he pouted.

*** Trinity
" If we don't get food soon, I am going to go insane. No, wait, I am already insane. I WILL GET MORE INSANE!!!" she declared as she finished the apple and stood to her feet. " Someone help me with this one," she said as she put a hand under Galuwen's arm and hoisted her to her. " We are going to get some DQ!!" she shouted insanely.
*** Agent Vader
" Oh, quit your whining!" Agent Vader muttered as he balanced the struggling Anakin on his shoulders. Exar Kun and he neared the *dun dun duh* mud hole!!!! Exar Kun took Ani's feet, and Agent Vadr took his head. " On,e two, THREE!" the yelled together as they flung him into the mud hole, turned, and began running!

Vanacoriel Took was just fixing breakfast in her small hobbit hole when an apple core landed on her head. With a flash and a bang she ended up in a room, filled with a largeassortment of tall people. where a strange woman was shrieking about DQ. Vanacoriel just blinked a few times and wondered why it smelt of garlic. Being a hobbit she was more hungry that curious, and curiousity could wait when her tummy couldn't. " What about breakfast?" She asked
~~~~ The hole of mud Anakin landed in, turned out to be.... The Lard of the Black Land. He feasted on garlic roots growing larger and smellier by the day. He lived for the day he could melt everyone good/against garlic into a lard/garlic soup and eat them. Oozing to a point so his eyes could see the thing that had just crushed his nose he looked at Anakin. " Aaaannnaaakiiinnnn" he hissed, wondering how he knew the boys name.

I'll just cut them down. Okay...lessee...Kibbles Mixed with Bean, Items Lean and Clean, Give Us Right Now a Large Dairy Queen!"

Tian shook her head. "That's not quite right." She reached through the random appearing window, and pulled out a set of chairs, and the freezer, and hallways that led to the bathrooms. "Ha! Top that!" She grinned insanely. "You got the staff, I got the addons. PPPBBBTTHH!"
Tiana grinned, and went to place her order: One number one, no onions, with Sprite, and for desert, chocolate... lot's of chocolate sundaes... not to mention the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Blizzard™. "Who's next?"

Anakin
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Anakin screamed. "Please don't eat me, Mr. Mudhole thing... I'm not garlic, I'm just the kid who bioengenered the fast growing garlic. Why does everyone pick on me?" He started crying, as the two Dark Lords that had thrown him in disappeared.

Vanacoriel " Oh I like sundaes! Especially chocolate! Hand it over or suffer the wrath of my socks"
Lard of the Black Land " Honestly, who cries when they fall in to a pit of Lard?" Shrugging he attempts to bounce of the walls and straight up the opening of the pit but just kind of vibrates before giving up. " So... can you.. mr.garlic grower... make me a garlic/gooddoer soup?"
