The Tooks are having a Welcome Home Party and You are invited: Adamanta Chubb Took

[adamantachubb]

I want everyone to come and meet my baby boy, Isengar, who has returned to us from the Sea at .long .last.!

We'll have mushroom pie, mushroom casserole, chicken in mushroom sauce, stuffed mushrooms, mushroom souffle, and Tuckborough home brew!

So come to the hill at Great Smials tonight, won't you?

Will there be ABBA at the party? *looks hopeful* I mean, will we be playing ABBA CDs and maybe a little ABBA karaoke? I'm pretty sure the group itself couldn't make it. We are a way from Sweden ....

*hums "The Name of the Game"*

[adamantachubb]

*puts mushroom dip out on the table* Well, we do get visits from Real Earth from time to time, but no bands have come through lately. And of course, we'll play ABBA, special for you, darling. After all, it is your party.

*straightens up some more in the sitting room* There.

*samples mushroom dip when Mother is not looking*

When can we expect people to arrive? Can I help you straighten up?

[adamantachubb]

*acts like she doesn't see him nosh*

Oh, I suppose people will be in and out, tonight, tomorrow. Dropping by to say Hi.

*hears a voice and turns* Why, Folco? Melba? *is hugged*

[folcotook]

*strides in* Well, well, looks like we made it home just in time for a party! *looks around* Wonderful timing!

Is that Granny Addy? *runs up* Granny Addy! *grabs and hugs her*

[isengar_took]

*stands in doorway*

Hullo. *offers hand* I'm Isengar. And you?

[folcotook]

Hi there! O_O!!! Oh, wow!!! You're like the long, lost great great Uncle! *takes his hand* Pleased to meet you!

[isengar_took]

Like him? I guess I am him, though I never thought of myself as lost. Well, except for that one time when we got caught that storm off the Cape of Maladaptive Uruks ....

It's so good to be with family again. Have you tried the mushroom dip? Good stuff.

[melbatook]

*runs up* Granny Addy!*tackle hugs* Hehehe!

*backs up as she spies Isengar* Hullo. I'm Melba. *points at her cousin* He's Folco. *polite smile*

[isengar_took]

*smiles*

I'm Isengar. Nice to meet you. Thank you for coming! I've been away for Ages - it's good to have family around.

*offers hug*

[melbatook]

Oooooh, that Isengar! Yeeeees . . . Ages! *smiles*

*hugs*

Well, Folco and I have been off for a while too . . . exploring Arda. What have you been up to Uncle Isengar?

[isengar_took]

Ah, I've been exploring also! Runs in the family, I think. I was just mentioning to Folco how I got lost once when my ship got caught in a storm near the Cape of Maladaptive Uruks. Dangerous times. They threw rocks and other more unpleasant things which we will not mention at us.

And I've written a bit of poetry. Perhaps you've read my book? Seagull Feather?

How did your adventures go?

[mirabellatook]

* comes in and kisses Addy* Hello Mother. *looks about for her long lost brother, spots him* Isengar?

[isengar_took]

Mirabella!

*runs over and embraces*

I've missed you! That's some monorail you've got.

[mirabellatook]

Sennie! *hugs back* It is good to see my youngest brat brother again.

And I you maybe, I'm still thinking--the jury's still out . . .. Thank you. It's been working out pretty well.

[isengar_took]

Ah, and a big sister is someone you never forget ...

You're not still made about the time I told Mother you'd used all her good china to build a scale model of Rivendel, are you?

I look forward to riding the monorail soon - where does it go?

[bbolger_baggins]

Hello, Gramma Addy! I brought a mushroom pie. *puts it down on the table*

[isengar_took]

*walks over to sample mushroom pie*

Oh, very nice. You know, there are no mushrooms at sea though we did pick up some 'shrooms by accident in a port near Dol Amroth, but we don't have to talk about that.

*extends hand*

I'm Isengar? And you?

[bbolger_baggins]

Thank you. *grins* No I imagine not. They don't make wet suits that small, do they? Well, such a venture is a traditional element of a sea Odyssey, but we don't have to go into it.

*takes his hand and shakes firmly*

I'm Bingo Bolger-Baggins. Pleased to meet you Isengar. And very glad to see you returned.

[isengar_took]

*ponders the image of mushrooms in wet suits*

I suspect there will be some story-telling later on, but not around Mother; oh, if she knew half the things I've done .... besides the 'shrooms.

It is a pleasure to meet you and the rest of the family - well, those I don't know. I hadn't realised I'd been away so long. The sea calls and keeps time to herself ...

*lost in thought for a moment*

You didn't see any Jello on the way over? I thought I spotted some through my telescope. Very odd, that.
