◎third journey | video;

[ he's sitting in the oxygen gardens, a wooden pipe in his mouth and large white smoke-rings curling from the end of the pipe. there's an open book in his lap and there's a lingering weariness in his posture, despite how relaxed he seems.

still, when frodo speaks up, his voice is fond, light, moving his pipe away from his lips. ]


Where I come from, smoking pipeweed is considered an art. Making good smoke-rings like this--there's nothing quite like it.

[ frodo pauses; glances at his book then. ]


My dearest friend told me that he wondered if anything we've done would ever be put into 'great stories.'
"The stories that really mattered, that stayed with you."  As a lad I spent most of my life reading about stories, learning them and I'd always had my favorites with my Uncle. He went on a many great adventures.

[ he smiles quietly ]
Sometimes stories can be..quite different than we imagine them to be when we begin them. The same could be said of adventures.

Do you have a story like that? One that's stayed with you. Perhaps something you knew as a child, or one you found in a book. Perhaps it isn't a story but a moment that you've shared and relived with others over and over again. I'd be glad to hear them.

Alive? Well that's-

[He blinks as he processes the rest of what Frodo's saying.]

What? How come?

All Ribika have ears like these. [He twitches his ears and perks them up happily.]

I didn't know you knew Konoe. What's your name? Maybe he's talked about you.

[Sorry, Frodo, you have the most obnoxious attentive ear.] Eleventy? I don't know what that means. Was he 1,111?

What's a Party Tree like?

Yeah, something like that. If you're fictional in someone else's world, I guess that's a possibility.

[Alex wonders if he's thinking of Gollum, but he doesn't say anything.

At the compliment, though, his voice falls, slightly.]


I wasn't.

[He couldn't protect her when it mattered most.]

...And what kinda place is that?

[Firo knows very few places that are actually safe, but he gets the feeling Frodo's talking about some pretty incredible danger. He can't help but pry.]

Frodo. [He nods, repeating to himself. Frodo, who knows Konoe. That's enough to make him a friend in Asato's book.]

My name is Asato.

Eleventy-one makes more sense. I'll use that from now on.

[She smiles at the description of the tree. Those are a rare thing in the future (her future) and she decides one ought to play a pivotal role in parties here. For John Connor's sake, if nothing else.] That sounds like a magical night.

You definitely are.

If it helps, I think a lot of people look up to you. And Sam, too.

Doesn't sound like a picnic, that's for sure.

[It almost sounds like descriptions of the underworld or the afterlife he's heard in fiction. Which would make for a very nice pun in Frodo's last sentence.]

I don't know any girls who aren't, honestly.

[grins] That's exactly why.

Shale and I aren't exactly... friends, per se. But we have been to the battlefield together, and I think that generates a sort of mutual respect that you can't find anywhere else.
