[video] smile the brightest (the search for lawyers and lighthearted things)
[ There's a cheerful face looking up at you, despite all the weird and terrible things that have been going on lately. ]
Afternoon! I am Meriadoc Brandybuck, and as a bit of an effort to combat some of the awfulness around us with more cheerful things, I figured I might take the time to get some of the more legal aspects of certain events out of the way. If anyone can direct me to a lawyer of some sort, I'd appreciate the help in drawing up some documents.
[ Things like, say, a will & testament, a marriage license, and something not-unlike adoption papers if still different. Best be prepared. ]
I understand that very few people have any concept of Hobbit Legal Code, but I can certainly help on those aspects, so long as someone knows the basics of civil contracts.
[ There is a pause, as he looks down and fiddles with something in his lap before returning the camera ]
Also! If anyone has talents in baking or other things I would be most interested in recruiting your help for a way to lift spirits.
[ There isn't much use raging over things that can't be changed, and bright hearts and good feelings do amazing things in the face of despair. Merry knows something of that. ]

voice. THE ONE AND ONLY!!
voice. so excite
[ Normally he would notice the grumbling except... ]
...You know about hobbits?!
[
Officially. Favorite. New Person. Ever. for the moment, anyways. Ignore Merry while he basks in the novelty for a few moments. ]Are there hobbits in your world? Or perhaps you've heard stories? [ Even Theoden-King had heard stories, though they were old. ]
voice. :DDD
More than a few stories, in fact, but you know- i've never actually seen one before. Not even one. You're practically mythical where I come from.
voice. 8D
[ Its not really his fault that his kin happen to be the hobbits people know about, really. What with helping to reclaim a kingdom and talking with a dragon and then defeating a dark lord and... yeah. Some celebrity figures in his family, for sure. ]
It is truly most exciting to meet someone not of my own world to have heard of us! Meriadoc Brandybuck, at your service.

[ they're both too short besides, and moz is still kind of amused by all of this. he wants to go shake neal and talk about how upset tolkein would be and how the world is officially crumbling in on itself. neal would probably say something about how he knows already.
which is why he won't say anything at all. ]
Mozzie- the one who said I was going to be at your service in the first place. And i'd happily hear any story you'd be willing to tell.
