(I figured out that we could just start completely. Abagail can watch over Frodo and Sam. Then, Mark (I think it is) can watch over Merry and Pippin. And, the person watching over Boromir can switch to Gimli after Boromir dies.. So, we should be able to tweak things around, but still be able to add more people if they really want to join.)

(Just try to have all of the OC's be heading off to bed.)

((geez, you guys go fast))

Scott cursed when the earpiece of his Ipod fell out of his ear, but he couldn't stop to get it because he was in the middle of doing 20 reps on his 5th set on the bench.

Dang. He thought sourly as he breathed hard. It was ACDC. When he finally finished his set, his muscules were burning and sweat trickled down his shirtless back as he put the bar back on the stand and he sat up, using a towel to wipe off his forehead and taking a sip of water. He turned off his Ipod and slipped it into his pants pocket as he stood and grabbed his shirt and slipped it on. He was glad that he had gotton time to finish the weight training he needed to do for soccer this week, but his mood gew dim when he thought of the essay he had due in English tomorrow, that he was supposed to have started 2 weeks ago and put off until today.

He smiled. At least it was over a good book. His essay was over The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, the Fellowship of the Ring. A great book, in his oponion. He walked out of the gym and walked over to his motorcycle and was about to slip on his gloves and helmet when he saw someone had tied a green letter to his handlebars.

Well, what the heck is a letter doing on my bike? And who is it from? He picked it up and ripped it open and read it quickly. He was shocked and had to read it a second time.

"This doesn't make any sense!" Scott said, sighing. "I think I will go and show it to Mark! Maybe he will know what it means...or if it is even possible!" He slipped it into his pants pocket, slipped on his gloves and helmet, then got on his bike and sped off towards his best friends Mark house.

((Hey rain, is it okay if mark and scott are really good friends? if not, i'll edit.))

(Due to who goes to sleep and wakes up earlier and such.. We are probably going to appear in Middle Earth at different times. But, they would all be within the same day. The people that are already in bed can go there no, and the ones that aren't just RP your character to go to bed and then wake up in Middle-Earth. We just don't really want to RP sleeping. That would be pretty boring.)

Abagail had fallen asleep on the couch about three-fourths of the way through National Treasure. The last line she recalled was something about a clock tower and a pair of glasses.

Her dream was pretty weird. She was walking through the whole National Treasure movie, mainly because she was watching it, and it incorporated the letter, to her disapproval. That was all she remembered of it later on, to her advantage. Abagail did not need anything else clustered up her mind with the movie premierers, Oscars, and other such Hollywood tricks they enjoy pounding her with.

(Abagail is going to wake up in Middle-Earth in my next post. Pretty much, the RP is about Middle-Earth, not our world, so that is why everything is traveling pretty fast.)

((alright... oh and Tur, Mark is curently in Iraq, in a bunker... so yeah! And he's 21, and Scott's 17... how about Louy? Hey, could they have some romance or something?))

Mark had a hard time falling asleep on the hard bunker bed, almost 10 feet underground. Eventually he did fall asleep. Instead of dreams, he had the usual nightmares of gunshots and bombs, and men on both sides of him falling down dead, their head blown off or just plain exploding...
~~~~~~
Louy sat in her room, after taking a shower, and was sketching horses. Already the new sketch book was half way full. During all this, she forgot about the green letter, and was about to go to bed...
~~~~~
Aaron quickly finnished grading the test papers. Overall, half the students did average, with the one student failing, and the very few students acing. Slowing he got ready for bed, and went to bed earlier than usual. Good for the students, 'cause nobody likes a grouchy teacher...

((so now two of my character will wake up in ME in my next post!))

(Sorry, but I won't be on most of today...so I guess when I get on again, I'll have my character be dropped in ME-if that is where everyone is at the point. Hopefully I won't fall too far behind...)

(Some romance is allowed, but not a lot. This is mainly for trying to destroy the ring. Then, when I say romance, I mean romance between OC's. Don't start having Legolas fall in love with your character..)

Abagail obtained a rude awakening from the sun. Ugh, she thought, morning already? She ducked herself into the covers to hopefully get a few more moments of rest.

Opening her eyes, she could only see the underside of the blanket, but she couldn't hear.. anything. No cars, no horns, no people yelling for others to drive faster.. no anything. Tossing her blanket off of herself. Abagail found herself to be in Rivendell. "What?" she shockingly yelled, "Is this some type of sick prank?"

Abagail jumped out of bed and ran to the edge to look down upon the woods and city. "I must be dreaming. I seriously must be dreaming," Abagail concluded, "How to wake up? How to wake up?" She looked around at the city to find some way to wake herself up from this dream, or nightmare. Seeing a wall, Abagail figured a sudden crash should work. She ran right into the wall and fell backward. Sitting on the floor, she touched her head and cried, "Not dreaming."

(okay I managed to get on before I leave. Hope I don't fall too far behind. If I do, can you just pretend I am with the group if you have the council?)

Caitlin awoke with a groan as the rays of sun streamed across her face. It can't be morning already, she mumbled to herself as she groggily sat up in bed. Elegant carvings, balcony to the right, no sliding door… Wait! This is not right! she thought fully alarmed. Staring around the room wide eyed, she was suddenly awake as she took in the strangeness of her surroundings. This is not my room. she thought, almost in fear. Racing out of the room, and onto a balcony she beheld the mystical beauty of Rivendell. This is a joke. she said to herself. This place is not real. This is not real. Yet, here she was standing on a balcony, hand firmly holding onto the railing as the splendor of the Elvish haven loomed before her very eyes.

Mark had eventually fallen into a deep sleep. When he came into a lighter sleep, he was aware first off, the bed was not the wood plank bed, and it was a feather matress with silk sheets. Second, his gun wasn't on his lap, and neither was his helmet. Third was the fact that there was sunlight, and birds singing, and the sound of running water. He was obviously not ten feet underground anymore. Sitting up, Mark was shocked at the view of the open room and balcony. Getting up, he strode onto the balcony, astonished...
~~~~~
Aaron woke up abrutly, sitting up. The sun was up. He was late. Those were the first thoughts that crossed his mind. Then he realized he wasn't in his small stuffy apartment... Probably another joke from his students. It was obviously Rivendell. That was Loudwater River he heard. Then he heard a boom, like some one running into a wall. Getting up, Aaron ran into the next room where he saw a girl sitting on the ground, rubbing her forehead.
"Er, did you just run into the wall?"
(that would be your character, smeag!!)

"Yeah..." Abagail growned. Picking herself up, she looked over at Aaron. "I'm Abagail Sims," she introduced herself just to be nice and waited for his introduction.

"I'm Professor Aaron Cushman of Nashville University," he said, extending a hand. "And from the hint of you running into a wall, your probably like me in wonder how we got in Rivendell."

"Rivendell?" Abagail questioned, "That was in that movie..." She continued to snap her fingers trying to think of it, but it wasn't coming to her, most likely because she just ran into a wall.

"Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. I actually teach a course on that author, series, and every thing else based on that series," he said...

Snapping her fingers, Abagail agreed, "Yes, that's right." With a sudden pause, she remembered something, "Lord of the Rings! That was in that freaky letter." Rummaging through her pocket, Abagail pulled out of the letter and skimmed over it. Reading the bottom line aloud, Abagail said, "You agree by opening the letter."

Mouth open, she stared at the line on the paper for a few seconds and then looked at the professor saying, "Now, that's just cruel."

Aaron frowned.
"I thought it was just a joke from one of the students at the University. Guess I was wrong. So, there's going to be some sort of spell cast then, and we have to help set things straight?" he shook his head with a sigh...

((okay Rain! That would be awesome! Are they already dating, or is a secret? Oh, oh, let's make it a secret right now!))

Just then, a motorcycle pulled up to Louy's house. She was his best "girl" friend, but not dating wise, though, he wouldn't mind if she did become his girlfriend. Scott slipped off the helmet, and put the gloves on the bikes seat, grabbed the letter, and then ran up to the front door, hoping she would be there or not asleep.
