The Christian Cup

[Elendae]

Yes, but when you are on the road as much as I am, you tend to take what you can get. I don't know why, but I have developed a rather fond taste for roasted Warg leg with a bit of ground Kingsfoil cooked into it.

*Grins slightly*

And I can usually make a bit of cash for selling the Warg teeth and claws to any curious person, and telling them the tale of how I hunted it.

[Hobbit-queen]

Hmmm...I've never gotten the opportunity to slay a Warg. Well, few hobbits have. But of course, few things are feircer that a hobbit in a tight spot...;) So, I hear my sister has came by for a chat. She's different, that's a fact. She is younger, and doesn't get out much from her hole in the ground (typical of most hobbits), but when she does get out she likes to insult and bug people until they kill over. That is one reason why I spend so much time on the road, searching for peace and adventure.

[AraCelebEarwen]

(ooc- If that be the case, then welcome to the road! :D)

I will not say anything against her, but it was wise to only say a little. If she had not, or if she should come back in the same mood, well, we can only hope she would find reason to hold her tongue...

*finishes off the last of her soda trying to hide the smile*

[Elendae]

* Halfway through with the Warg leg, Elendae sits up suddenly and begins to search his robe.*

Has anyone seen a dark shadow by chance? It should be moving around rather quickly.

[Lord Sauron]

no I have not......................... wait a min. I think its over there by the bar.

[Hobbit-queen]

Gulp...a shadow.....

Scarry things hide in shadows...things like orcs, goblins, and balrogs...even dragons. *scoots away from the scary shadow*

[AraCelebEarwen]

*Watching the shadow zip from one place to the next, she's not sure if she should be worried or laugh at the reactions of the other guests...*

"May I ask what is it that you are looking for? I hope it is not something to dangerous.

Could I please get a root-beer float, and if it's not too much trouble, what happened to that fruit I ordered?"

[Lord Sauron]

Fellow Friends, I have recieved a message that the green dragon will be closing and i don't know if are thread the christian cup will be moved to the stuff and bother. But i believe that we will be moved cause this thread is active. By the way heres your root beer. If i get more info i will post it up here.

[Hobbit-queen]

I hope the Christian Cup doesn't close. I've had so many memories in here....like when Lord Sauron tried to poison me, and Grey Pilgrim saved my life....when Hammersmith first popped his head in here and wooed us with his far away tales....and when we started to put our plan of evil into action, and stop that spoiled brat Baggins from reaching Mt. Doom....those were the days....

[AraCelebEarwen]

Thank you.

*A worried look crosses her face*

Closing? Why would they do that? I hope they at least give us somewhere to go, wherever that may be... Ah well, wanderers can never stay in one place too long, no matter how much they may like where they are...

But let us not lose hope. We are still here, even if it is only for a short time. Let us celebrate! Drinks and food on me!

*Smiling, she pulls a large bag of coins out of the depths of her cape. Letting it land on the table, it falls open and gold coins go dancing across the smooth table top.*

I know you do not ask for anything, so consider that a gift from all of your guests. May it help keep this place alive!

[Elendae]

*As the golden coins flew across the table, so does the shadow.*

"Mordin!, Bad weasel! Give those coins back NOW!!!,
uummm... Sorry 'bout that. He gets kind of excited around coins and other valuables.

*Runs over, scoops the cleptomatic rodent from the table and removes the coins from the vise-like jaws.

"Here are your coins mi'lady, I thank you for your kindness, but watch out for Mordin here, as you've seen. As for that drink, I'll have a root-beer float for Mordin. Hopefully it might give him enough of a headache to keep off the rest of the valuables."

[Lord Sauron]

Keep your coins. THE CHRISTIAN CUP WILL STILL BE OPENED WE WILL BE MOVED TO STUFF AND BOTHER IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. We shall have a feast drinks and food on the house *drinks and food come flying out of the kitchen* hope you all enjoy this feast for it will be the last one we will have in the Green Dragon Inn. But we can look forward to new better things in stuff and bother. A toast to The old memories here at The Green Dragon Inn and for new memories to come in the Stuff and Bother.

[AraCelebEarwen]

If you insist.

And thank you Elendae. Did you train your little Mordin to be a thief, or have you not bothered to cure him of it? I could see that for some things it may be a... useful trick. :rolleyes:

*She scoops most of the coins back into the bag and places it back in her cape.*

These may yet come in handy when my feet get the better of me, which I am afraid will be rather soon. I hope to find my way back without too much trouble, but I must be on my way in a little while.

*Reaches for a loaf of bread and some other things, placing them in a small bag she wears on her belt, then catches a glass of cold, frothy, rootbeer.*

Tell then, cheers! Long live the memory of The Green Dragon!

[Hobbit-queen]

*Cheers to the memories :o
*Cheers to the friends :p
*Cheers to Lord Sauron for opening the Christian Cup in the first place :cool:
*Cheers to The Green Dragon for letting us ocupy this bit of space :)
*Cheers to the lonely travelers stopping by to share tales of faraway lands :D
*Cheers to the stable boy for keeping my pony in exelent condition ;)
*Cheers to a new and great future ahead of us in Stuff and Bother:rolleyes:
* Cheers to The Christian Cup!!!

*everyone begins to applaude very loudly and claps Sauron on the back as he walks by*

[Lord Sauron]

welcome to stuff and bother everyone. Its a lot different from the green dragon inn. More Compition. But we all helped the christian cup come where it is today and we all will remain loyal to keeping it up. How about another feast for a new begining *food and drinks come flying out of the kitchen* Hope you all enjoy it.

[Hobbit-queen]

Ah, food....a hobbits delight! Make sure I get some of those mushrooms...they are calling...:p Yeah, its different in here but The Christian Cup will survive!!! We've done it once, we can do it again. Here's to a new beginning!

[Elendae]

(Sigh)

"Aye to a new begining, if anyone would visit anymore. IS THERE ANYONE HERE, HELLOOOOOO!" :o :D

[Hobbit-queen]

*a small being with cobbwebs in her hair emerges from under a table* Life! There is life out there! Thank the lord! I thought I was going to perish underneath there! Oh, my...this place has been empty for the past few weeks (with the exeption of a few horse flies and daddy long legs) I'm glad you stopped by. Well, the key to the back was left on the bar so why don't I get you somethin'? What do you want? I won't promise you it'd be fresh because we haven't had the place restalked in a while.

[AraCelebEarwen]

*Walking in the door, the worried look on her face almost vanishes at seeing a friend.*

It is so good to see you booth again! I have be lost and only just found my way back here! Please, I need a cool glass of water.

*She looks around and her face again looks troubled for a moment.*

Has it been so long sense anyone was here? We should put out signs and fix this poor place back up. Here, get that broom and duster. Let's get this place ready for a party! :D

[Hobbit-queen]

Ah, finally! I'm so glad to see you here! *hurries to the back to get Ara a large glass of ice water* Well, here you go...yeah, you're right...this place needs some tidying up. I'm goin' to have to talk to Lord Sauron about keeping this place up. I won't be too hard on him though, he's probably doing what dark lords do best...destroying empires and taking them over.

[AraCelebEarwen]

*Taking the glass, she smiles...*

Thank you little one. Shall I tell others about this party we are having? I miss being here with all the other guests and friends that I had meet. There should be streamers and flags and we must have some music! Come, let the party be as merry as we can make it! AN ESTEL! FOR HOPE! :D

[Hobbit-queen]

Yes, tell everyone! I've notified Lord Sauron about his neglect to the Christian Cup and invited him to the party also. Put up the streamers! Throw the confetti! Let these halls fill with merriment and laughter once more!

[AraCelebEarwen]

*Ara brings out her silver panpipe and finding a seat on the bar she starts a lively tune that could be heard by all walking by. It called and teased, floated and danced it's way into the hearts and feet of any and all who would listen. Let the party begin!* :D

[Lord Sauron]

Thank goodness I thought everyone left me all by myself. thats why i haven't been here in awhile. Just wait this place will be dust free here in a sec. *waves his hand and everthing dusty become clean as though it was new plus the empty store room becomes filled* well what are we waiting for lets get this party started.

[AraCelebEarwen]

*The music stops as Ara realizes what time it is getting to be.*

I am truly sorry my friends, I must again be on the road. I hope you will have at least a few guests while I am gone. And perhaps I shall run into someone as I travel that I can send your way. Namárie Mellon nin, farewell, be in goodness my friends. I shall return at my first convenience.

*She bows to small group of people, then picking up her bag she walks out the door and down the path. All the while letting the sound of her panpipe be heard as her feet carried her out of sight.*

[Hobbit-queen]

Dear Sauron...dear, dear Sauron...how've you been? Its nice to see your face around these parts once more. Well, Ara's on her way and I'm sure she'll tell many about our party...it shall be great!

[Elendae]

"Do you have anything for Mordin? He's awfully hungry, being a weasel you know. And I shall see if I can get a few more visitors to drop by."

[Hobbit-queen]

Hmmm...what would a weasel like Mordin prefer to eat? Squash perhaps? I'm not exactly sure what Mordin's appetite hungers for at the moment, but I'm sure we have something in here. *digs through the now overflowing store room full of food*

[Lord Sauron]

weasels always steal food so give him anything. Do any of you like harry potter.

[Hobbit-queen]

*begins to drool all over the counter* Yeah...love HP...gonna get the Half Blood Prince the 16th...can't wait...out of breath....need to sit down....not going to put that book down untill it is finished....someone get me a glass of ...water...before I kick the bucket....

[Elendae]

"I'm not quite as enthusiastic as our small, overexcited friend here" *Hands Hobbit-queen a glass of water* "But I am starting to lack patients waiting for it to come out. Just as a side question, but have any of you read any books by Ted Dekker?

[AraCelebEarwen]

Hello my friends! I have found a way to be here for a moment! Please, get a me cup of rootbeer! How are things going and what about the party?

[Mooky87]

Hi all! I'm new here, but this looks like a cool place! It's neat that there are Christians here! I thought I'd drop in and say hello! *waves* Hi!

[Lord Sauron]

welcome stranger hope you enjoy your stay at this inn. I know a week and three days seems long but its going to be here before you know it. But it seems like yesturday they just told what the book was going to be called. By the way heres your rootbeer ara. Can i get you anything mooky87. Now back to hp does any of your books stores around you have hp partys when the books come out. I am going to try to go to the one near me. Plus one more thing for all you pirates of the caribbean fans (like me) the second movie is going to be called Dead mans chest. I will post more info later when i find out.

[Mooky87]

Hey Lord Sauron - Thanks for the welcome, and I'll take a coke please!:D By the way, you can just call me Mooky or whatever.

What is a hp party??

You know something strange that I found out? Geoffrey Rush is supposed to be in Dead Man's Chest! I knew Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, and Kiera Knightly were going to be in it, but how will they incorporate Geoffrey Rush? He died. I can't wait til it comes out!

[Lord Sauron]

Hp is short for Harry Potter. Some books stores have them the night before the book comes out to countdown the for the book. The have drinks, refreshments, door prizes and some other stuff.

[Eledhwen]

What is a hp party??It could be Harry Potter, but then again, in the UK, HP is a food brand that produces bottled sauces and canned beans etc; which would make a great party food fight.

I don't think the UK book shops take their marketing ploys that far! The larger ones will open up at 12.01am to sell the books, but our local Bassett Books won't be opening til 6am. Having no sense of occasion, of course, mine's on order from Amazon.

[greypilgrim]

Hey all, nice to see ya again. Howdy Saron. So am I still working the kitchen or what>? Whatsup Mooky.

[AraCelebEarwen]

Thanks for the drink Sauron. Welcome Mooky! I hope you enjoy our little... can I call this a coffee shop?! After all, no beer and stuff and we just hangout and be as in character or as not as we feel like... :rolleyes: ;)

With rootbeer raised... "I hope you will find your time here well spent. May your path find it's was back when you wander and may you never forget the friends you can find here." hehe ;)

[monob]

hello everybody the name is monob and i just wanted to say hey guys well gotta go many things that still need to be done.

[Mooky87]

Hey all! Thanks for the welcome. I must say, I'm a bit surprised. This board is not nearly as active as another MB that I go on. No offense meant, I'm just surprised. Or am I always on here when everyone else is off?

[AraCelebEarwen]

Are you always in such a hurry monob? :D

It is good to have you join us! There are times when people are simply not here, or are, but they never think to come in. That is how it works. Like for me, I come in hoping to find a friend or two and see that I am the only guest at the time. Ah well, it is good to rest and it is better to find friends, but we can't always be happy. ;) :D

[Lord Sauron]

Hello Monob and welcome to my humble in. Is there anything that you may want. Plus greypilgram it is great to see you again it has been along time. And mooky the reason why this thread is not always so active like the others is probely because when you sign on your time maybe so many hours behind mine its all occordingy to where you live. I hope you don't take that personal. Well I hate to say this but i don't think I will be on here at all next week have to go on a trip. So everyone who is here please take good care of this inn.

[Mooky87]

No offense taken hon! Bye and have a good trip!:D

[AraCelebEarwen]

I would gladly help in your absence but I also will not be here.

*Glances at her empty cup.*

Can I get some more soda please?

[Tar-Elendil13]

I like this place. Can I make a suggestion? Change the name. Christianity is my religion and always will be, but cup? no. Maybe you could connect it to tolkien in some way, like The Christian Hobbit. Or you could make it simple: The Christian Inn. Bye all, see you tomorrow.

[Mooky87]

I think they call it cup because it is a place to get non-alcoholic drinks. You know, like they wouldn't call it The Christian Bar or something.;)

I think the name has a nice ring to it.

[AraCelebEarwen]

Indeed it dose! :D I have no reason to change the name of this fine place!

Are you doing well my friends?

[Lord Sauron]

I am back hope all of yall are okay. So for all you harry potter fans how much have you read of the new book? I have gotten to the part where harry has been paryalized (hope Yall have read this far) by draco while they arrived at hogwarts.

[Lord Sauron]

The Christian Cup maybe get moved back to the green dragon. I have writtin to one of the moderators to see if we could be moved back to were we first began. I am still waiting for a reply but will post what they say when i get it.

[AraCelebEarwen]

STOP! STOP! PLEASE! :eek: My mom finished it already! She says you shouldn't read six tell you have seven! :rolleyes: But it might be too late for some of us... ;) :D

[Eledhwen]

I have also read all of the book.

I would remind those who are describing any action in the book that it is polite to write *SPOILER* or similar at the head of the post, as a warning to others not to read the post if they don't want anything revealed to them that they have not yet read.

Yes, the book leaves you longing for the conclusion, as a penultimate book should! Remember the cliff hanger at the end of The Two Towers book? (no, the film didn't have it). Imagine those poor folk who were reading the first edition and had to wait to find out what happened to Frodo and Sam (only to find the action in Return of the King beginning with Merry and Pippin).

[Lord Sauron]

Sorry for ruining it for anybody who have not read that far.

[AraCelebEarwen]

nah. Don't worry about it. :) It's just that some of us like to know nothing while others really want to know. :D

Can I get some cheesecake please? That would be really good! :D How are things going, 'round here or wherever...

[Warrior93]

Yea I finished it. Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!:mad:. And can I have a Cheesecake as well.

[Elendae]

Hopefully I'll get my claws into the book before my sister does :rolleyes: :D , Even though some of you seem to belive that the book isn't worth reading until the next one comes out.

[Lord Sauron]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

I am so mad one of my friends ruined the book for me. The person who dies is.......................................... Its so bad i ain't gonna tell since i am so mad at them for ruining it for me so why ruin it for you. But i am still going to read it.

[Lord Sauron]

Well I finsihed the book hope the rest of yall have. It has such a big twist.


spolier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(if you don't want the book ruined don't read)
one of my oredictions for the upcoming book is that R.A.B is sirius blacks brother. Who was once a death Eater but died. this is the guy that supossedly took the real horcrux and switched with the fake.

Another prediction is Dumbledore planned his own death. Like he said he trusted snape a lot that he asked snape to kill him because he knew that was what draco was up to during the whole school here. Plus a sign was that the way dumbledore pleaded it looked as though he was saying to kill him. And the part were it said about snape "there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harse lines of his face" (don't let this throw you off) he might not had hatefulness toward dumbldore but towards himself for what he was about to do.
these predictions were made by some of my teachers and me.

[Lord Sauron]

New information on Harry Potter

Spolier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harry A horcrux? Since Harry does not know the last horcrux (the one from ravenclaw or gryffindor) My prediction is that he is it. THe reason behind it is the only thing from gryffindor is the sword which is in dumbledores offic and the nothing has been recored of ravenclaw. Plus the propchey says "neither can live while the other survives" so that might mean once harry kills voldermort he must have to die himself because a part of voldermorts soul is in him.

Another one is Snape a good guy? When harry was casting spells at snape all snape did was block them and he had the chance to kill harry. Plus it seems as though snape told harry how to beat voldermort. He said that harry spells were blocked again and again and until he learend to keep his mouth shut and his mind closed. I think this should have ment that he was saying voldermort will do this to him but a lot worse.

[Lord Sauron]

plus heres your cheesecake

[AraCelebEarwen]

*pulls fingers out of her ears and smiles before taking a bite of the rich treat.*

Thank you my friend. I have wanted some of this for a long while now. *takes another mouthful before looking around* Is all still well here? :)

[AraCelebEarwen]

Having said that my mom has finnished it (twice now!) and really wants me to look at it, I am now reading HBP! :eek: :D *looks around hoping to not get hit*

Lower case spoiler! ;)
That poor fox!!! Jo really must have had a good time writing this! I mean, wow! The Weasley boy's shop!?! How cool is that! :D

So... anyone still here? Can I get a rootbeer? Maybe? :o

[Eledhwen]

Having said that my mom has finnished it (twice now!) and really wants me to look at it, I am now reading HBP! :eek: :D *looks around hoping to not get hit*I didn't read HP for years, because the Church leadership/Christian editorials/preachers etc warned that it was truly evil. Then one New Year's Day, my resolution was 'No Received Opinions' as I decided I was big enough and old enough to decide for myself what I should try and what I shouldn't. I decided to read the first Harry Potter book. I was impressed with the quality of the writing, the pace and richness of the story, and also the moral messages buried within its pages. The kids in the story are flawed (Bad! they should be paragons of virtue says the Christian world). I saw them as real characters (wasn't King David a tad flawed too?). My big concerns: Divination and Sorcery. Divination: The teacher of this subject is a big fraud. Dumbledore didn't see the need for the subject to be taught at all, but employed Trelawney because of The Prophecy (no, I'm not going to explain that). Firenze, the second Divination teacher, is so other-worldly that no-one understands a thing he teaches; and it is obvious that he is only there as a refugee. Hermione (the brainy one) denounces Divination as a load of rubbish and gives the subject up. Sorcery? It is not used. The Potions concocted are (except for their spectacular effects) brewed somewhat pharmaceutically, with no incantations. The spoken spells (incantations) are done without calling on higher powers (ie: they are simple cause and effect), and worship is not entered into by anyone except the deluded followers of the story's Antagonist. You could say much the same about The Lord of the Rings. Christians wanting to compare other Christian views on Harry Potter could do worse than visit www.hogwartsprofessor.com.

[Lord Sauron]

sorry i have not been on here for a while i have been gone to camps and just got back. plus i have some great news. I beat kingdomhearts yesturday. It took me forever but i finally beat it.

[AraCelebEarwen]

Isn't it a cool game!!?!! ;) I never really played it, but I watched my bros work their way through it! I LOVED IT!!! :eek: :D We can't wait for the next one to come out!

Eldahwen, so you're saying you like HP, right? As a Christian, I was rather cautious when it came out. (reasons not that dissimilar from yours) But as you say, it really is well written and there are some good values and not very much that could be used as a 'how to' book. If you understand me. (anyway, I know what I mean but can't seem to think how to say it... :o ) Yeah, I like reading HP, not it's greatest fan, but I do like it. *glancing around nervously* But I'll always love LOTR! Never will that change! :D

If I could, can I get that root-beer now..? :) Please.

[Warrior93]

NOoOoOoOoOoOo!!!!!!!!!!!! ********** had to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AraCelebEarwen]

*Hand fly to her ears* NOOO!!! please!!! I'm trying to read it as we speak!!! :eek: :eek: I'm only at chapter eleven!!!! And NEVER go to ANYTHING that says 'spoiler'!!!! It's not worth the risk!!!! I didn't want to know!!!!!!!!!!! Jo really knows how to write, I'll give her that. :D But please! There are some of us who still just DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!!! :( ;)

Can I make that a double root-beer!? And add some vanilla ice-cream please! :D

[Warrior93]

I won't say, but it is tragic. I already can't wait for #7 Harry Potter and ***************

[AraCelebEarwen]

Yeah, my mom's about to go nuts. :D She's one of the people that try to pick out all the tinny little things and tries to use them to get a better idea about what's going to have to happen next and stuff like that. That's why she wants me to finnish it. She and I like putting together our little 'conspiracy theories', and for some of it we've been darn close! But that was for some of the earlier books, so I don't really remember what we thought. One of my brothers has also just finished HBP and he and mom keep going on about things to where I'll walk into a room only to come running out with my ears covered and humming a nice loud tune! :eek: :D I want to finnish it! But then again...

(and I hope they don't mind this having nothing to do with Tolkien, after all, not everything is! ;) :p lol)

[Lord Sauron]

NO I HAVE BAD NEWS, I didn't beat kingdom hearts i thought i did but comes to find out i didn't. now i don't know if i can beat it. Its so hard. Heres your order ara. sorry its a little late. I can't wait for the next kingdom hearts ethier its on my christmas list already along with an i-pod. But i have to beat it before i can get the second one cause i want know what happens at the end of the first one. But i don't want nobody to tells how it ends cause i want to find out myself.

[AraCelebEarwen]

*She receives the float gratefully, a sinister smile showing on her face.* oh? Not beat it yet? May I ask where you are? I could tell you it was a surprise to find that, where we also thought to be done, there was nothing good around the next bend. Tis a very interesting story. Grand fights, daring deeds, puzzles, games and we must not forget the princesses! I could tell you things about it, but of corse, nothing is ever what it would seem... ;) *the smiled faded slightly but her eyes kept a bright glow and sparkle to them as she took a long drink of the cold refreshment.*

[Hobbit-queen]

*The door opens with a great CREEEEEEEEK, and a familiar looking hobbit drops lifeless on the wooden floor.*

[AraCelebEarwen]

*...Resulting in ACE breaking out in a fit of giggles before finally regaining her composure.* "Would someone please get the poor thing a cold drink. I think we need to find some way to bring her back from the edge." *Trying to hide her smile, she takes a long time to enjoy her own drink.*

:D :p :D

[Hobbit-queen]

*soon wakes up, wide eyed, and takes drink*

Oh, my...orcs really aren't the nicest beings here, are they?

[Lord Sauron]

no there not. welcome back. Is there anything i can get anyone

[Hobbit-queen]

A few seed cakes and a ginger ale would be sufficient. *tiredly stares around the room*

[AraCelebEarwen]

It is good to see you again my little friend. Are you doing well? It has been rather quiet around here without you.

(I'm now on chapter twenty-four!!! :eek: :D :p )

[Lord Sauron]

your almost done. heres your order hq

[AraCelebEarwen]

((("Almost done" :eek: I'm on twenty-seven now and looking at a very evil pic above a scary title!!! *hits head with large copy of HBP* I had to stop after reading for so long to day! I can't take it! *her hand reaches for the book laying open in front of her* NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! MUST.....WAIT.....NEED...TO THINK.... :eek: )))

Would you have any hot fudge sundays? That would be really good! :D LOTS of chocolate please! Must have chocolate!!! ;)

Anybody read any good verses lately? Or can I even ask that any more? :p

[yhwh1st]

Ara, try Revelation 21:1-7. I feel truly blessed whenever I read that. (We actually sang some of those verses in my church choir about a year ago.)

Hot fudge sounds good too. May I have one made with chocolate ice cream?
Anyone else ever have one that way before? It's really good!

[AraCelebEarwen]

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!!!!! It is good to see you here my sister! *looks around the room to see that all are listening* This is one of my good friends and a sister in christ! Hopefully a new guest for our humble inn!

Yeah, I'll go read it Meg! And no, I've never tried a sunday like that, but it sounds really good! *pointing to a table* Would you join me? :D

[yhwh1st]

I'd love to! *walks over and sits down* I like this place! I think I'll stay. *calls out above the din* Hey everyone! What do you say we agree on a place to all meet in Heaven? I would absolutely LOVE to meet each and every one of you who are my brothers and sisters in Christ! :D

[AraCelebEarwen]

Well I think I'll be somewhere under a tree by the river if not standing close to the throne! ;) Hey! I looked up that verse last night! LOVE IT!!! Thank you! Shall we order something? I for one could do with a good hamburger! :D oh, and some really cold root-beer! Thanks!

Have you ever thought what Heaven must be like!? I mean, really thought about it! I hope I'm right in thinking that our gifts of creativity and such will be used in 'building' worlds for us to explore! But I could be wrong... I don't know, but it would be really cool! :D

[yhwh1st]

Now I know where I'll find you Ara. Anyone else? Should we all meet by the river? I'm sure Jesus will join us there too. I am sure that I will know each and every one of you the moment I set eyes on you!

Mmmmm. Tacos sound good. Ahem! Excuse me! Could we get a burger and a taco over here, please? And I'd also like an iced coffee, if I may.

[Lord Sauron]

sorry it has taken so long to get your order. mycomputer crashed and i had to get to another computer. so here it is. I don't know where i will be when i getr to heaven i will probely be spending time with my hero.

[AraCelebEarwen]

Hi! not much right now but you are welcome to get something and join us! :D What would you like?

[Tinuvien21]

A hamburger would be great,thanks. :D

[AraCelebEarwen]

*looks around to see if Lord Sauron was there.* It should get here in a little, if not, I'd be glad to get it for you. *Looks back to their new guest* So. Have you any stories or news? Or are you not a traveler and just looking for a good place to hang your hat? :D

[Tinuvien21]

I guess that I'm the kind that hangs around :p , but stories? What kind of stories do you want to hear?

[AraCelebEarwen]

Well, it is always good to hear how one is doing. I like to ask that of anyone that comes in... just curious I suppose. :) I like to see that people enjoy their time here. Oh! *her voice lowered to a whisper, eyes darting around the room* Look out for the hobbit. She's a funny one at times, and she's not the worst. ;) :D

[Tinuvien21]

OK.... Well, as for me-I'm doing as good as anyone can be. :D *starts to whisper as the hobbit goes by* OK I'll mind that one... ;)

[Lord Sauron]

good news my computer is fixed

[yhwh1st]

good news my computer is fixed YAY!!!! Welcome back! What was the problem? And can I please have a chocolate milkshake?

[Lord Sauron]

heres your chocolate milk

[AraCelebEarwen]

How are things going? I've finally gotten over that crazy cold/flu thing! I don't know what it was but it wasn't at all fun! :mad: Anyway, It's good to see you back Sauron! (did I really just say that?! :eek: ;) :D )

Can I have an hot mocha please? I'm frozen and could do with some caffeine! :o Anyone know of a good verse or anything? Just wondering... it's never a bad thing to think about. :) Not here at least.

[Lord Sauron]

heres your drink. sorry it took so long to. I have been so busy this with school and marching band and all sort of things. But i am back so i hope all of you have been great.

[AraCelebEarwen]

OH! Perfect timing my friend! :D I was just thinking a hot drink would be good! It's cool again and I had forgotten I had ordered this! Thank you!

Got something if anyone wants to look it up. Habakkuk 3:17-19 :)

[Lord Sauron]

i am finnaly back. drinks on the house.hope school is going good for every one

[Elendae]

It's alright, but it could be going better. And yhghygnjg (sorry there was a mosquito on the keyboard:D) Anyway, could I have a cola?


And how is everybody doin'?!

[AraCelebEarwen]

((oocish- love that excuse there Elendea. :cool: :D Did ya get it?))

Having long since finished off the hot drink and nearly falling asleep as time crept past, Ara's hair covered he face as she sat up quickly at the sound of a voice. "Hu?! What? Wha'd I miss?!.." She blinked and rubbed her face before she could look around. "Oh. Hello there. Cola? No thanks, I'll have a root-beer please... and maybe a dish of...um... pork and rice? Do you have anything like that? Something a little bland in part but sweet and sour and a little spicy would be good."

She leaned against the back of the padded bench and looked around sleepily. "I suppose I am doing alright. Trying to find a bit of rest just now though, it has been a long few days and it is by far not the end... But I am doing well enough. Just...maybe let me..." a yawn interrupted her, "sleep. I need a little sleep..." Blue eyes blinked slowly and she rubbed at a stiff spot in her neck.

[King Aragorn]

*enters into the inn after her long absence*

hey everyone. Wow. I can't believe that it's been a month since I last visited here. Is there any way I can get a cherry coke and a room please?

[AraCelebEarwen]

*grins and waves* Hello there, long time no see! I hope you are doing well..? *looks around* Well, I think if we want it we can get our own stuff for a while... It should be just behind the counter. Would you mind?" She yawned again. "Sorry, I think I might have a nap by the fire, it has been rather quiet lately."

[Lord Sauron]

*says some weird words and drinks and food appear in front of everbody* There you go everybody.

[King Aragorn]

thanks Lord Sauron!

*takes sip of drink*

[AraCelebEarwen]

Starts picking over her plate of hot rice and pork. "Ah, much thanks indeed my friend!" She takes a drink of the cold, frothy root-beer before leaning back again with a smile.

"So much better. Now. KA, (is that right?) how have you been? It would seem your feet wandered off with you for a time."

[King Aragorn]

yeah, KA is right. I've been awfully busy after my sudden disappearance. It seems that this year, school has decided to be busier than ever.

[AraCelebEarwen]

"Oh? Yes, that could be a very good reason to not be here. Ah well, it is nothing to worry about, you are back now, even if it's only for a little while..." Ara took a long drink before pushing everything but her root-beer to the edge of the table and setting her head down on the table top..

[King Aragorn]

Tired?

*takes another sip of soda and then goes back to working on biology*

[AraCelebEarwen]

"How can you tell?" A grin turned into a yawn and she shook her head lightly. "Yeah, it's been a long few days... Mind if I vanish for a little? I need to get some sleep..."

Finishing another few sips of her drink, Ara gets up from the table, gets a key and disappears into the hall leading to the guest rooms.

[King Aragorn]

Bye. have a great sleep. ;)

*makes a mad dash to get biology homework finished*

[Lord Sauron]

Biology ay thats some stuff. I am taking that noww in high school i am doing pretty good in there. Well Ka if you want to you can retreat here as long as you would like heres a key. I am going my self tierd too *says some weird words and vanishes*

[King Aragorn]

*takes the key*

thanks Lord Sauron. Luckily, I don't have any biology homework to do right now, so I'll just be relaxing here.

*leans back in chair*

[Lord Sauron]

Hey i know its a little late but happy halloween everyone and heres some candy. *Candy starts being thrown from the back room*

[AraCelebEarwen]

Having rested well, Ara was just coming back into the room when the flash of light on the foil candy wrappers caught her full attention. Spinning around gracefully, her hands were soon filled with sweets of many sorts.

"Thank you sir. Might I ask for a glass of milk? It would be rather good about now, seeing that there is no lack of chocolate and other things." She grinned happily and found a place at one of the tables. Cupped hands flew apart, letting the candies spill over the table as she hunted through for ones that she liked and a few new things to try.

"How are things going? It would seem I did not miss much." A lump of carmel was bitten in half and enjoyed quietly as she looked over some of the people still around.

[King Aragorn]

*wanders into the Christian Cup with a glazed and sleepy look in her eyes*

hey *yawn* everyone. how are you all?

[greypilgrim]

*comes back from a long journey* "Well! How's all the fine people here been while I was away? Is HQ still around? And Lord Sauron still up to his old tricks I hope? Nice to see you again King Aragorn and AraCeleb."

[Lord Sauron]

hello my great friend how are you. Hq has not been around in awhile not a lot of us have with everything getting in aer way such as school, holidays now coming up and just a little other things. Hope you enjoy your stay grey pilgram can i get you anything.

[King Aragorn]

hey Lord Sauron and greypilgrim. how are you guys?

*sits down at a table and tries to stay awake*

[AraCelebEarwen]

Well... I don't know about them but I could use a coffee or something.

*grins as she finds a seat, leans her elbows on the table and rests her chin in her hands*

[Lord Sauron]

heres your coffee. Guess what tomorrow is. The new harry potter movie comes out i hope all of yall will get to see it i am so hope every one has a good weekend and hope you get to see the movie.

[AraCelebEarwen]

*tries to sip at hot drink but coughs* What?! Already? Man, that was fast!

Weekends only do you any good if you don't have to be at work from dawn till dusk. Oh, and thanks for the drink, I really needed it. Maybe I need to think about sleeping some time soon... I'm too much of a night owl when I can be.

[King Aragorn]

I'm not going to see the new Harry Potter movie. I'm not all that interested in Harry Potter...

[AraCelebEarwen]

Nothing wrong with that, my friend. Nothing at all. It is a good movie but really could have been a bit better anyway... ah well. Never-mind me... I'm not in the best of moods just now. *takes another drink of coffee, letting the hot liquid roll around in her mouth before swallowing it and leaning back with a tired sigh*

[King Aragorn]

the movie that I'm looking forward to the most is the new Narnia movie that's released this Friday, Dec. 9

[AraCelebEarwen]

AH YES! It is getting closer to that day, it it not. Now there is a show I will be at. Indeed!

And can I have a really big hot coco mocha with cinnamon and whipped cream topping please? :D

[King Aragorn]

LOL. I'll be at home when I see it with my family.

can I have a hot apple cider please?

[AraCelebEarwen]

One more day. Just through today. Days off coming. Just one more tell then. Just today. Dang but it was a long day yesterday! I somehow ended up about a half hour late but then they needed me to stay the rest of the day! We're talking nearly ten hours! Gosh... I'm still tired and I slept like a rock last-night. No, it isn't all that bad though I guess. Good hours today at-least. Someone get me a really warm cloak, large cup of coco and let's see if I can manage to find time to go watch that movie... PLEASE..?

*starts running in and out of the door over and over tell she collapses in a heap on the floor*

[Lord Sauron]

Narnia was a great movie. it stuck very close to the book. Now i am going and reading the rest including the lion the withch and the wardrobe cause i never really read the rest. I just read the lion the withch and the wardroe but that was like five years ago.

[AraCelebEarwen]

She picked herself back up off the floor and vanished through the back door and out of sight without making a sound.

A while later, a fur trimmed and snow covered hood was pushed back from a grinning face, pink from being out in the cold. "Might one get a hot coco please? My feet have gotten the better of me and I am ever so glad of it! Narnia is truly a wondrous place! I have heard tell of it and have even caught glimpses of it but never before have I walked through the lands as I have just done! What sights I have seen and creatures I have had the pleasure, and horror, to meet. If you at all can, GO FOR YOURSELF! GO SEE!"

[Lord Sauron]

merry christmas hope you all have a good ane and hope santa clause is good to all of yall

[Lord Sauron]

hope everyone had a merry christmas and i know its late but presents for everyone (it can be whatever you want it to be)

[AraCelebEarwen]

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! And Happy Birthday King Aragorn! haha!

I hope you all are doing well, and I thank you for the gift Sauron. *looks at the box in her hand and begins to open and brush away the wrapping* OH! May thanks indeed, sir. This is something that will be enjoyed by others as well as by me. Shall I? *holds out something that looks like a little clay pot. A row of holes along one side blends in with the fine, carved and painted vines that wound around the soft brown body.* An ocarina is a fine gift for one such as I. Magic can be woven in the song of such a thing. A true art and the love of as many a wanderer as has had the honer to hear and play one.

[King Aragorn]

*re-enters the inn after her long absence*

hey everyone! and thanks for the birthday wishes Ara!

[AraCelebEarwen]

My pleasure, my friend. *bows*

How are things going? Life is crazy, time rolls on... I am afraid I have had a bit of a falling out with my devotions and such. However a friend gave me a good verse the other day. It can be found here (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Thessalonians%203:1-5&version=31).

Rootbeer anyone? How about some chocolate, or maybe some nice spicy meat of some sort? Something good would be very nice. Please and thank you. =^.^=

[King Aragorn]

the rootbeer and chocolate sounds nice. :D

things are going...ok so far. I just have to get back into the swing of things for school, but I'm managing pretty well thus far.

how about you? how are you doing?

[Lord Sauron]

*finally wakes up in his room and walks into the lobby* Friends it has been a while. We are going to have a great feast *Food appears in front of everyone*

[Lord Sauron]

*walks in from a long absent and says a few words and the place looks like new and ready to have a reopen party* Just wish a lot of people show up

[AraCelebEarwen]

*sits up with a start* Wha...? *covers a yawn* I am sorry... Did I... I did not mean to fall asleep like that... *rubs her eyes and looks around*

Is there a chance of getting a little something to drink? It seems my mouth is a bit dry... *smiles slightly and sits up straighter at the table she had been leaning on*

[Lord Sauron]

sure its on the house

[AraCelebEarwen]

*picks up the drink that just appeared on the table and takes a moment to enjoy some of the cool juice* Thanks. It's been a while since I had any of this stuff.

*looks around the hall* Sure is quiet here... Not very many of the others are around much anymore... *takes a slow breath and lets out a sigh*

[Lord Sauron]

sorry for my long absent i have been playing kingdom hearts 2 and i am still playing it but i was wondering if anyone else ways playing it to

[AraCelebEarwen]

*stumbles in and nearly collapses* Water... Please... *sinks into a seat at the closest table to the door* Has it really been so long?

[AraCelebEarwen]

Three cheers for master of the dark lands! Happy birthday oh mighty evil one! :D Drinks for everyone! Bring out the sodas! And where's the cake?! We need a cake! *jumps back a little as a very large cake appears before her very eyes* oops! *trips and lands face first in a large golden ring of icing* er... *grins sheepishly* Maybe I'll just have some milk instead... hehehe

[greypilgrim]

Happy b-day Sauron. Have this...its a present for the dark one.

*opens gift*

See, I got you some Lord of the Rings collerctor edition coffee mugs! Hehe now when you are up late planning world domination you can do it in style!!!:cool: :)

[Lord Sauron]

thank you one and all for the great gifts and i am so sorry i have not been here so long *says some words and the place looks like it just opened for the first time* The mugs will come in great use thank you greypilgrim and the cake and drinks and feast was a wonderful idea. Plus who is ready for pirates of the carribbean 2 dead man's chest. I am already have tickets. HOpe people reply because it is the re grand opening of the christian cup

[AraCelebEarwen]

Walks in shaking drops of rain from her hair and smiles at seeing the place looking like new. Nodding in approval, she hopes it will stay so and pick back up to how things once were. "Sauron! Mellon nin! I feel as one that has found a warm fire as they wander in a dark night. It is good to see you again." Pulling off her cloak, she steps over to hang it by the fire. "May there be a chance of some sweet-bread and a fine tea?" Turns back to him, letting the fire pull away the last of a damp chill. "Pirates? ah. oh yes. That is one that I plan on spending some of my hard earned coins on. It should be well worth it by what I have heard and seen."

[Lord Sauron]

heres your bread and tea. And It is good to see you again. I am planning on trying to keep this inn in tip top condition until i get busy again. But Happy Fourth Of July. Hope it is great.

[Lord Sauron]

Its 14 hours away until pirates day.

[AraCelebEarwen]

*sinks into a chair with a grin* Thank you. Yes, I think a friend of mind and I will be going to see it soon. Not this coming week though as I had something come up. The crew at church camp is slightly lacking and as it works out, I can go to help. An adventure awaits me, my friend. Keep us in your prayers.

[Lord Sauron]

okay. But I will tell you that the movie is very exciting and then everything goes down hill the last ten min because its the end and their setting up for the next movie but it is very disappointing the cliffhanger just hanges you out there.

[AraCelebEarwen]

True that, my friend. *raises cup* As it turns out, I was in fact able to go see it. A fine bit of work in there. I was only a little disappointed about something but can no longer think what, so therefor it must not have been much.

Yes indeed. It is something I will have to add to my stash for the days I never seen to have. ah well. One can dream.

[Lord Sauron]

whos ready for school to start

[Lord Sauron]

*Pushes door open and sees the damage of weather and no one there to keep it cleaned* Man it has been a long time since I have been here. Just to think I opened this pub up and have not kept it looking good and running. Its just a shame to know no one will ever come back, but since I am here might as well see it as it once was. *says a few magic words and the Christian Cup looked brand new* Thats what I always liked about my magic. Well since I am here I am going to eat and drink something. *something catches his eyes* oh look its my LOTR Mug that greypilgrim gave me for my birthday two years ago. *fixes some food and some drink and begins eating* Its so good to see how things once were. Well I am going to have to leave for right now, but if anyone shows up just ask for something and you will recieve it, but if no one shows up then my worst nightmare will come true, I will close down the Christian Cup unless someone else would like to take over.

[AraCelebEarwen]

Walking up a half forgotten path, Ara nearly jumped as -where the path had been thickly overgrown with weeds and full of potholes- everything around here suddenly brightened up and came to look as well care for as if it was brand new. "Well! How about that!" Her laughing smile came back as she found herself looking right at the front entry of an old familiar inn. The memories were dusty and her own appearance was a bit worn down from the time between now and when she'd last set eyes on this place, but she could still clearly remember that she'd always had a good time here and that there'd always been someone around worth seeing.

Stepping right up to the door, she shook her head in happy near disbelief, and knocked.
