video (boggart sighting!)

[When she'd gone from the gardens to try to surprise Leia, the last she she'd been expecting it to run into someone. Especially someone who was supposed to be dead, she can remember his death and the smell of fires burning around them on Arima. She can remember Legolas' broken leg and the nightmares he'd given to his prisoners and more.

Panic had swelled in her chest and she felt like she forgot how to breathe as she looked up at him and he grabbed her. In another time and place, she apparently finds the courage to rival him but not here and not now. She freezes and then struggles only to be rewarded with a backhand.

It was enough to snap her into action and she did all she could. She sang, one of Daeron's songs but she infused what she could of her own power into it and ran, hoping it would hold him back.

She ran back to the gardens and there she fumbles with her communicator. Her hands are shaking and her face is pale except for a slowly forming bruise under her right eye.]

M-Morgoth-

I saw Morgoth in the halls. [Even knowing Thranduil had cut his head off, somehow he's there.]

In the halls...?

Did anyone see him at the jump, or since then?

[fertilefeet]

I do not recall anyone mentioning him. And I did not see him during the jump myself but rarely do I linger.

[ryuuzaki]

[He sounds troubled.]

I suppose it's possible that he could have woken early, left the jump quickly, and moved into the halls, but... he was killed before, wasn't he?

[fertilefeet]

He was. [She would never forget that.] Thranduil beheaded him.

[ryuuzaki]

I've never heard of anyone dying on the ship or on a planet, then coming back through the pods and remembering what happened before.

[And now he wracks his memory: has someone died and then come back at all?]

I suppose it's always possible, but -- why else would he have known to avoid everyone? Last time, he was very insistent in the pursuit of information. Most of us didn't know what he was, but still... I can't say that he was very comfortable to talk to in his early time here.

We can check the new numbers associated with the jump and see how many have identities attached to them, but if he hasn't really used the network device, that might not tell us much.

[fertilefeet]

I have heard very little of anyone returning at all, myself.

[She can't explain why he wouldn't seek information right away. Morgoth had always been a far away thought back home and once Thranduil had killed him here, she stopped thinking about him.]

It is worth trying at least.

[ryuuzaki]

Hotspur hasn't come back. There were a few other people, but they may not have been themselves. There's Laurens.

If Morgoth is here, something wants him to be. But it's hard to say whether or not he came in the normal way. Running the numbers, it's possible that some of the people who arrived this jump haven't used the network much yet.

not here/totally here.

[fertilefeet]

I do not know them. [She's calming down, slowly, and she isn't shaking anymore.]

If he is here, yes. Something must want him to be and he will not be idle or kind.
