thedivinemusic-deactivated20190 whispered: [I've only written with you once, before, but I'd have to say you're an incredible Finrod. You bring the character to life spectacularly, and I've so much respect for you both as a writer and as a person. *hugs and hands a cup of hot chocolate*]

//Thanks so much :’) that really does mean a lot! Idfk what people like that actually get out of sending those messages though? Like you’re just going to feel horrible and guilty *squish hugs*

You’re now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!

You and the stranger both like Tolkien Tumblr.

Stranger: Greetings. May I ask where we are meeting, since I seem to have lost my way?

You: We are near to what used to be Beleriand, I believe. As to our exact location, I could not say.

Stranger: *laughs* Then I suppose we are in the same boat, so to speak! Ah, but it has been some time since I have seen this place… Even after so long, t'is beautiful, is it not?

You: Not as beautiful as it once was, of course, but picturesque all the same. May I ask where you are headed?

Stranger: You may, but I could not give you a definite answer. For the moment, I am between tasks, and so I am taking what time I have to remind myself of the beauty of this world. What of yourself? Have you a destination in mind?

You: Quite similar to you. Just wandering, really, but I suppose I would be wandering in the general direction of Lothlorien and the Greenwood. Oh, sorry, silly me. It’s called the Mirkwood now, isn’t it?

Stranger: I suppose, though in my own heart it will always be Eryn Lasgalen, but I fear my sentimentality gets the better of me in this. Still, if you are not adverse to it, I would gladly travel with you.

You: Why of course! I should be happy for a companion. But pray, stranger, your face is obscured. Are you of the Eldar as I am?

Stranger: Ah, no, no, good sir Elf. For the moment, I am cloaked in mortality, but I am far older than I look. And what of yourself, for I fear I cannot place you? You would not be of the House of Finwe, would you?

You: *laughs* How can you tell? *frowns* But then you must be a Maia at least, if you remember Beleriand. There is no other race who can remember so far back.

Stranger: Little Finrod, then? Or are my eyes deceived? *smiles and shakes his head* But I am no Maia, dear one. I believe we have met, though it may have been but briefly.

You: [gah was I that obvious!?] Then I know who /you/ are, Eru, there is only one who ever calls me little.

Stranger: [no more obvious than I was XD] *grins wider and dissolves into laughter* Ah, you are perceptive, my darling child! Come, then, let me escort you where you will, that your should find your way safely this journey.

You: As you wish, oh Iluvatar *grumbles quietly* but I am NOT little

//Okay listen here.

Roleplaying is done for fun. Nobody who is in their right mind gives a shit who or what our characters do. This is a work of fiction. If you are going to bash Eru-mun you’d better know what the hell you are talking about.

In fact, you’d better come through me first. Because this is out of fucking order.

Can Anybody Find Me Some Body?

thedivinemusic:

Softly chuckling, Eru laid Finrod’s body down on the river bank, giving him time to adjust more fully once he ceased his struggles. «I am impressed that you would recognize me, dear child,» he answered, relinquishing control of the elf’s body.

«Osgar would be dead by now, had you not come along.  I am in your debt.» Even as he spoke, there was a lilt in his tone—some twinge hinting that this would not be over so quickly. «But I am sure you have questions for me, and it is the least I can do to answer as many of them as I am able.  Rest, and let your body realize it is housing two spirits at its own pace.  No ill shall befall either you or Osgar, and it will give us time to talk safely, as well.»

A gentle warmth spread slowly through Finrod’s body as Eru sought to convince his subconscious self that his spirit was no invader.  It was no easy task, either.  Where Eru’s hosts would normally have years of meditation and preparation to withstand the full force of his strength, Finrod was unsuspecting, his body tense and heavy with the weight of fear, and Eru could not allow the fullness of his power to escape him.  In small, controlled bursts, he pressed tensions from Finrod and listened carefully for what questions the elf would ask.

How could I not? I had often wondered what it would be like to speak with you. There is nothing in Arda with light nor force more pure. Finrod did as he was told, taking in the information given to him as a small child would. To have the creator of the world in his debt… well, it was a novel experience. He relaxed, lying quietly against the stones warmed by the sun.

It was certainly a strange feeling, to suddenly and without ample warning play host to a force of nature more powerful than anything he had ever encountered. It did not hurt, to share his body like this, but it left a dizziness, a dryness in the mouth that Finrod was quite unused to.

He had questions, yes, and they filled his mind, each one of them crowding for attention, pushing to the front. But it seemed to Finrod that he had all the time in the world to ask them of Eru, and so he decided to divert his concern to the most pressing matter at hand. Your last… vessel. Is he alright? What happened? He asked, concern for the grievously injured man surpassing any existential questions that pressed for answers. Did someone try to hurt him? Or both of you? Deliberately, I mean.

thedivinemusic:

Even through the oppressive weight of the encroaching darkness, Eru heard Finrod’s offer.  Before the words had fully left his mouth, the deity, wrapped tightly in frail mortality, reached a gloved hand up to grip the elf’s wrist, swallowing back bile to gasp in another breath—cold air burning his lungs as he drew in as much as this form would allow, gathering himself into his son’s arms before exiting Osgar in a tight sphere of white light, pressing himself into Finrod’s mind and quickly constricting his energy as much as was possible.

That the elf was in no way prepared for the power transference was the first thing Eru noticed.  His mind did not know how to cope with the sudden weight, and the deity had to coax gently its transition while keeping himself as condensed as possible, pressing his body to lie back against the smooth rocks that lined the river.

«Finrod, relax,» he murmured, his voice low and soft within the elf’s mind. «Relax, Osgar will not fade so quickly, and you must allow yourself to adjust.»

Despite his offer of aid, the strong grip of the man’s hand and the significant power behind it took Finrod by surprise. For a moment, he saw nothing but light, pure and white and unearthly, before squeezing his eyes closed and bracing himself. As the presence of something rushed into him, he gasped and instinctively tried to force it out. This was not a simple wood spirit, not at all.

He felt winded, breathless, and as the immense power now inside of him began to settle Finrod realised that what little control he had over his own body was limited. Without thinking, he began to panic, fighting for air, for control. He felt his limbs and muscles move without his direction and was seized by blind, unreasonable fear.

And then, he heard a voice. And all was calm. The presence within him was old, and unimaginably powerful, and impossibly kind, and Finrod could not believe what he was experiencing, yet it was undeniable. Eru? he asked, disbelieving, my lord? This… this cannot be…

thedivinemusic:

Lifting his head with a great effort, his bleary eyes could not focus enough to discern who had called out to him.  Eru’s chest tightened, then, and he lurched forward as blood and bile spilled from his lips, hitting the ground with a sickening noise.

“Please…” he panted, unable to raise his head a second time.  He coughed, open-mouthed and crackling wet, before continuing, “A vessel… please.”  There was more—an explanation—but between the fever-haze of Osgar’s mind (‘What’s happening?’ he begged, and Eru had not the heart to tell him he was dying, instead numbing his body and soothing that he would soon be home, not entirely a lie either way) and Eru’s tremulous connection, it was lost in bouts of choking and wheezing.

Eru did perceive, though, that the fullness of his question had not been communicated, and with a carefully controlled release of power, he tried again, “A vessel… I need you… please.”

A vessel? Finrod ran the word through his mind, confused. At first he thought the prone figure was begging for a drink, for water. Then, with a spark of recognition, the penny dropped. He had thought from the beginning that this injured man was more than… well, a man. With this gasping request, however, he was willing to stake all his gold on it. Perhaps, he thought, this was a wood spirit, or perhaps he was a Maia in need of someone to inhabit while this form was hurt. The thought that this could be a Vala, or even something more, barely crossed Finrod’s mind before it was quashed. One of such stature would never ask him, after all.

“Do you mean… me? You need me to serve as your vessel?” Finrod asked, holding the man’s head gently in his lap. Whatever he was, be he a spirit or something more, his strength was failing. Perhaps it would be best to offer his services, at least until they reached Imladris and explained to his nephew-in-law what was going on. “I will offer my services to you, my lord, if that is what you wish.”

thedivinemusic:

A young man clad in brilliant white stumbled across Bruinen at its shallows, coughing violently as he fell to his knees, Imladris in his sights.  His new vessel should have been here, but the man had been delayed in Gondor.  Certainly it was not his fault, and Eru was not angry, only worried that the vessel he now held could no longer contain him.

Another bout of hacking racked his body, and glancing down at his glove he saw spots of blood dotting the leather.  He had to get this body to Elrond, and—more than that—he needed to find a new, temporary vessel.

Finrod was riding hard for Imaldris when he saw the figure shaking and falling by the river. Reining in Arato with a gentle hand, he leaped from her back and made his way towards the man.

Despite his obviously infirm and fragile state, the man gave off a distinct feeling of grace, warmth and soothing calm that almost stopped Finrod in his tracks. He had never felt so strong a come from so mundane-looking a man, and as he neared the coughing and spluttering figure he sensed a depth of power so strong it made his ears buzz. How, he thought, could one possessing such power be unable to help himself?

“Are you alright?” he asked, concern lighting his eyes. Something inside of him told him that he should do whatever he could to help this being, and he agreed with the hunch. “Do you need help? A healer?”
