Prompts

Summer is here, villagers! Sunny skies, warm weather and plenty of weirdness are on the horizon. Don't forget your sunscreen!

1. THE MILK FOR FREE - Somehow, someway, you have been wrangled into milking one of the GROFFLES recently rounded up by your fellow villagers. Maybe you felt guilty for not helping, or maybe you owe someone scary money. Point is, it's just you, a bucket, and your green milk-giving friend. Just a tip: Groffles are good-natured, but you probably shouldn't squeeze too hard.


2. LIGHTNING ROD - Earlier today, you made your way into the upper foothills — Were you hunting? Maybe just roaming? — and you came into contact with a BLUE LILY. Maybe you thought it was so pretty you've carried it back to the village with you. If your house didn't have electricity before, it definitely does now!


3. MEET CUTE - It's a classic: You've gone down into the 6I INN'S dirt-walled root cellar off the kitchen. Maybe you needed supplies or were dropping off some fresh produce. Whatever the case, someone's followed you down for a similar reason... and the door has jammed shut behind them. Seriously, it's not budging. Enjoy getting to know your new best friend in the cozy light of the furnace!


4. WILDCARD - Choose your own adventure. Maybe play powers roulette.

Legolas | The Lord of the Rings

[strings_attached]

✿milk✿
The benefits of learning the flora and fauna of this place were at the top of Legolas's list of items to look on the bright side of. Being brought here against his will, away from his friends and family and home, was naturally a sore spot. As ever, Legolas chose not to dwell overlong on the dark thoughts which might come to drag him down with them in their misery.

Rather, survival to him meant making the best of even the worst situations. The groffles were one of his favorite new animals to learn about here. They were large, strong, and mostly quite friendly. Legolas had been asked by a friend to help gather some milk for cooking and in exchange, he would be welcomed to the meal. He could hardly ask for a better arrangement. He could almost hear his dwarf friend's witty remarks about the elf brought so low as to milk a cow.

The thought brought a smile to his face as he set about his work. The groffle was eating some fresh grass which Legolas had brought it, and he was crouched by its side for the deed. Over the sound of the sploit, sploit, sploit of green milk hitting the pail, he heard someone approaching and looked over his shoulder for whom it could be. "Come to help?"

Anyone care to braid fishing nets with me? I can teach you. I appreciate the company.

Despite his own worries, Aragorn took a little longer to come to terms with the sudden displacement and separation from his love, Arwen, his friends and of course kinsmen. Not to mention the fact that he was now a king and if he was there...

But things were made slightly better with the discovery and blessing that saw his elf friend arriving into this realm, as well. And to say watching him, the Prince of Mirkwood, take on such mortal tasks was far more amusing than he felt he could admit.

Yet, it was there in the grin he gave Legolas when he arrives and leans up against the frame of the entrance way.

"It seems you are doing well on your own," Aragorn replies.

I know how they're made in theory, but it should be interesting to put theory into action.

[Not to mention it would give him a chance to speak in person more candidly with the younger elf. Not to mention, it wasn't as if he had much else of more importance here to be about.]
