(Let's all just play Gimli until Jack comes...)

Abagail glared back at Aaron; she was going to refute him, but she still knew that he was right. Sitting back down, she looked around the group, "Ok, just go and proceed with your little fight."

Gimli, taking the initiative, spat at Legolas, "and I presume you are the one to do it!"

Boromir stood up again.
"And if we fail, what then? What happens when Sauron takes back what is his?"

Abagail laughed at herself, "Then it wouldn't be good for you guys."

Gandalf turned and glared at Abagail, having overhear what she just said.

Gimli stood up and approached the elves, yelling directly at Legolas, "I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an Elf! "

---------------------------------------

Merry turned to Pippin, "Wow, this is going to be good!" He continued to munch on his bread even faster and soon had to grab some of Pippin's food.

((What exactly DO they all shout when they're arguing? xD))

The Elves beside Legolas all stood up indignantly, and he held them back, as they began retorting loudly and angrily at Gimli's harsh words.
Suddenly everyone stood and began to attack each other viciously with arguments and their frustration at one another.

Gimli's booming voice could be heard amidst all the chaotic arguing. "Never trust an Elf!!"

Gandalf, seeing this getting out of hand, stood up and began to yell to push further towards Elrond's position in destroying the ring.

Abagail nudged Frodo, "I think you should take it." She nodded her head up and down and smilied.

Aragorn sighed heavily and looked towards the ground, being one of the only ones not standing to argue.

Frodo looked at the ring, one of the only other ones to not stand, but unlike Aragorn, his eyes where intently on the ring, gaze unmoving. He saw the ring go into a blaze of fire and he heard the dark lord's voice in his head, repeating the black speech that Gandalf's strong voice stouted eariler. Suddenly, Frodo understood what he had to do. He stood abruptly, getting Aragorn's attention, but no one others, until he spoke, quietly at first,

"I will take it!" When no one heard him, he shouted even louder, repeating, "I will take the ring to mordor!" Frodo now awaited to see if anyone heard him the second time.

Legolas and the Elves quietened and turned around in surprised; the small Hobbit was offering to bear this evil Ring. He gave a slight smile and looked at the Hobbit with a new respect, as all the other Elves were doing as well.

Frodo looked down at the sudden quite and added, "Although...I do not know the way."

Abagail leaned back her hair and wiggled in. She felt a sense of pride on the outer cover. She had told the hobbit to take the ring, after all, but, inwardly, she felt this weird respect and compassionate for him. He didn't have to if he didn't want to, in a way, but he choose to, disreguarding the fact that Abagail already knew how the storyline went.

Gandalf stopped at the sound of Frodo's voice, turned around, and smilied that the worried young hobbit walking out in the middle of the crowd of people.

Elrond looked down at Frodo, in disbelief and compassion. He had wanted Frodo to bear it. Frodo had accomplished the mission this far, and Frodo should be able to continue it.

Merry dropped the loaf of bread at Frodo's word. "Pippin.." he stuttered out, "It seems like we re not going to be heading home as soon as we hoped."

Gimli was sitting down comfortably from the very beginning of the council, sometimes keeping his gaze at the spokesperson of every race while they talk. Though he is one of clood-blooded dwarves, ring charmed him deeply enough to give him a power to lose himself. And that brought an answer followingly. Gimli stood up, he set his raged looks upon the elf. "I suppose you are the one to do that" he yelled to the elf.

And he was engaged into a discussion that never seemed to be easing down even a little bit. All dwarves after him stood up and supported him as Gimli yelled. Elves did as well. "Never trust an elf" Gimli continued with the same attitude. Everything seemed out of control.

As the little halfling spoke that he is going to carry the ring, dwarves silenced. Kept still their gaze at the halfling who seemed to be stammering. Gimli was suddenly relieved of the halfling's words, set down immediately to hear what halfling has to say intently

Gimli raised his voice when the long haired man stepped forward and said you have my sword and followingly the blonde elf said my bow. "And my axe" he stood nearby Frodo and smiled at him which was not so clear to the eyes underneath his bold and long beard.

(I wrote the last sentence in case I could not get on again today)

(Jack is a little far.. so we just need to catch up with everyone else entering the Fellowship.)

Gandalf bent on his staff for a moment to gaze for a second longer at the strength of the little hobbit. Smiling, he lifted himself off of the staff and walking over to Frodo. Placing a hand on Frodo's shoulder, he said, "and I will help you carry this burden."

Frodo smiled up at Gandalf and then turned his head when he heard something move. Aragorn had stood and started walking towards Frodo and Gandalf.

"Whether by life or death I can protect you, I will." Aragorn said, kneeling to Frodo and adding. "You have my sword!"

Legolas stood up again and said graciously, "and you have my bow." He strode to Frodo and stood behind him.

Boromir stood up, and came to the rest of the group.
"You carry the fates of us all, little one," he said as he came closer, "If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done."
~~~~
"Here!" Just then, Sam jumped out of his hiding spot behind some bushes, and came to stand beside Frodo.
"Mr. Frodo is not going anywhere without me!"

Elrond smiled. "Indeed it is highly impossible to seprate you two, even when he is invited to a secret council and you are not!" He said, grinned.

(you did say anyone could play Elrond, correct?)

(Yep.. anyone can.)

Merry threw the rest of his bread at Pippin and motioned for both of them to run down and join Frodo. Peeking his head out, Merry soon ran out and told everyone, "We're coming too! You'll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us!"
