☯ ONE. ( VIDEO, UNLOCKED. + action for caer glaem! )

[sangilak]

[ let's play a game, bilbo said. it'll be fun, bilbo said. don't use naga, your dog is a crutch. YEAH WELL YOU KNOW WHAT.

korra would've totally won within minutes if she'd been able to use her best friend for help, but pride wouldn't let her.

but now here she is, about three days later, visibly frustrated but letting it only last for a few seconds, perking up when she finally gets the locket to work. ]

Hey, who wants to help me play a game! [ despite her broad grin, this game is super not physically demanding. really!! ] See, I lost someone, and for the past three days I've been trying to find him, but, heh, I guess he's a better hider than I thought.

[ behind her, the giant polar beardog lets out a sigh, her tail thumping lazily on the floor. ]

What? [ korra turns to face the massive animal, who picks her head up, letting out a half-bark. ] Naga, you know the rules. I can't ask you for help, but Bilbo didn't say I couldn't ask everyone else...

[ naga just fixes korra with a look that says "you're doing it again" before placing her chin on her paws. ]

... Yeah, well, no one asked you. [ and so korra turns back to the locket, still pushing a grin. ] If you wanna help me find him, he's about—um... [ she lifts a hand to her stomach... lower... hip... ah... fuck it!! ] He's really short and he's got this curly hair and really hairy feet. He kinda... looks? like a kid? But don't call him that because he's really a grumpy old man and he's kinda sensitive about that.

[ and with that, korra nods once and ends the feed!! she and naga are going to be around everywhere in the castle looking for bilbo, so if you'd like to action in this post, go right ahead!! ]

[ This is the face of a dwarf not laughing at the 'grumpy old man' comment. ]

Was it that you misplaced him, or were you foolish enough to willingly invite a hobbit of all people into playing this hiding game with you?

video; this tag made me laugh way harder than it should have.

[sangilak]

[ FRUSTRATED NOISES ]

Look, we don't have hobbits where I come from! I didn't realize this was something they were known for!

video; ehehehehehehehe /good/

[goldsickness]

You ought to have guessed, by the sheer size of him, that he would be able to hide just about anywhere.

[ Honestly. ]

Is this not cheating, however?

video; 1/3

[sangilak]

[ more frustrated noises ]

He even told me I couldn't use Naga for this!

video;

[sangilak]

Can you believe that?!

video;

[sangilak]

If he gets to use his size to his advantage, I should be able to use the tools at my disposal, too!


[ ... sorry thorin she didn't really answer your question, did she? ]

video;

[goldsickness]

But his size was already stated outright and agreed upon at the beginning of your wager.

[ Peeking behind her. ] And your bear seems like too much of an advantage.

video;

[sangilak]

A bigger advantage than a hobbit's size?

[ JUST THE BIGGEST DEADPAN LOOK. ]

video;

[goldsickness]

Yes. A bear can pick up on his scent.

[ You want to play the deadpan game, girl. ]

video;

[sangilak]

[ let's go!!!

only not really because korra is WAY too expressive for that. ]

What's your point?

video;

[goldsickness]

I am guessing so. Could your animal not find him by smell alone? That hardly seems like much of a game to me.

[ Flat expression continues, but with a slightly raised eyebrow. ] In any case - it seems you do not think yourself capable of winning on your own.

video;

[sangilak]

[ you're all so mean!! ]

I'm perfectly capable of winning on my own! [ POUTS LIKE A PETULANT TWO YEAR OLD ] I just thought I'd share the fun.

threadjacks gently

[somethingprecious]

[Huffing.]

I'm not like you, Thorin where I get lost at the drop of a hat.

-- H EY!!!

[goldsickness]

[ How dare you. ]

Never have I said you got lost, I asked if she misplaced you. Besides, I don't get lost that often.

C:

[somethingprecious]

I am not an item that can be carried around and left behind so easily. I find it rude that you would think of me as such.

Hm. [Raising an eyebrow at that. Really, Thorin.] If you say so.

not here

[sangilak]

[ WAIT UNTIL SHE FINDS YOU BILBO, WE'LL SEE HOW EASILY YOU'RE CARRIED AROUND ]

also not here

[somethingprecious]

[if you hurt him he won't make you dinner, korra!!!]

forever not here

[sangilak]

[ SHE WON'T HURT YOU...

much...



just put you somewhere high. ]

infinity forever not here

[somethingprecious]

[IF YOU SCARE HIM HE WILL NEVER MAKE YOU ANYTHING EVER AGAIN

for like a week.]

[goldsickness]

[ He's not even going to say anything to that first remark. ]

I do. I got lost that time in the Shire, that was all. I had never been there before.

[ The other times you don't need to know about. ]

[somethingprecious]

The Shire is extremely easy to navigate, you know. Never mind the rest of our company could find my smial before you did.

[goldsickness]

[ Eyes narrowing. ]

I was late because I had other duties to tend to, is all.

[somethingprecious]

Alright, alright. [He sighs, giving up for now.]

She doesn't have much time left anyways if she wishes to find me and win this game.

[goldsickness]

It must be why she is trying to get help from others. [ A pause. ] Were bets placed?

[somethingprecious]

Mhm. [Another sigh.] I promised to make her dinner if she wins. Although now I suspect it'll be anyone she recruits into helping find me. It'd be cruel not to give them something for their efforts.

[Not that he thinks anyone will find him.]
