... huh. Well.
That was distinctly... cracky.
Excerpt from the already-a-few-pages-long thing I was writing in the car and at church this morning.
"So," Caspian says. "Can I expect all the girls to say hi by kissing me? And also, what other immortal people have you managed to pick up?"
"It's more of an 'immortals stick together because everyone else dies' thing," Lucy says from the front seat, her head still on Edmund's shoulder. He's watching her fondly as he drives. "Let's see. We've got Arthur and Merlin and Morgana and Gwen and Lancelot, none of whom you'd know. Galadriel and Celeborn and Elrond and his twin sons all hang around, though they're a bit more detached, you don't know them either but they're all elves and I'm not at all sure how we ended up with them. There's other elves, but they tend to be off in the wild communing with nature of some such nonsense. And then Eowyn and Faramir, who are absolutely adorable."
"Huh," Caspian manages to interject. Lucy, he thinks wryly, has lost none of her ability to chatter on and on and on.
"I should warn you ahead of time that apparently the thing that we all do best is sleep around and gossip about who's sleeping around." Lucy wriggles a bit. "Mm. But no going after Eowyn or Galadriel, they and their husbands are quite dedicated to each other."
Caspian nods and then turns to see what Peter and Susan are doing beside him.
They're kissing, and he rolls his eyes and faces up front again.
I AM TELLING YOU ALL. CRAAACK. And they're all thieves. XD

CAN I CALL THIS THE IMMORTAL!THIEVES EPIC!CRACK? BECAUSE IT SO IS.
And I love how completely blunt Lucy is about everyone sleeping around.

(Eowyn, it turns out, volunteers at a feminist headquarters nearby. Galadriel works with the Water Conservation Team, and Caspian soon finds himself roped into helping her. He doesn't really mind.
Celeborn and Faramir spend most of their time by their respective wives' sides. Caspian tries to strike up a conversation with Celeborn, but Celeborn just looks down his nose and sniffs.
Galadriel leans over a fountain and watches it for a long time.
"Well, then, I suppose you're welcome," she says to Caspian. "You poor child." She pats his arm and leaves him nonplussed with a quick injunction to keep filling out those forms.)

Date: 2009-04-19 11:01 pm (UTC)Oh, Pevensies. Oh, Merlin OT4. XD
And I would totally contribute, except I've only ever seen the beginning-middle of The Fellowship of the Ring and the very end of The Return of the King.

Date: 2009-04-20 02:28 am (UTC)Hahahaha, funny story. I actually own The Fellowship of the Ring, except when I first watched it, I was in 5th grade. I insisted my dad and my brother watch it with me, but my silly (then) 2nd grade brother refused to watch, like, after Gandalf "died" (but my memory seems to be telling me that I watched Galadrial appear too, is that later?) And then at the end of the 5th grade, in those last few weeks when no one does anything in school, some kids in my homeroom watched The Return of the King, and I caught the end with everyone jumping on Frodo's bed. So that's all I know about LotR. XD

Date: 2009-04-20 02:44 pm (UTC)You should watch them the whole way through sometime. They're goood.
Yeah, Galadriel is after Gandalf dies.
Alsooo, I lied. They are not all thieves, the LotR people tend to stay out of that. Galadriel sometimes looks in her mirror for them, but the other elves are like 'silly humans.' Except for Elrond's twin sons, who are all 'AHAHAHA THIS IS AWESOME.'

Date: 2009-04-20 05:59 pm (UTC)Hahah, I plan to.
I thought so. She was very pretty. :)
Hahahaha, LotR people are too good to filch off of people. OH. Elrond's twin sons. I LIKE THEM. ♥
Wait. I now has inspiration.
(When they arrive at what Caspian assumes is a base of sorts and all clamor out of the car, he is greeted by an odd sight.
A blond man, much like Peter, is laying across a dark-haired man's lap, who reminds him of Edmund, except more waif-like. The dark haired one is absent-mindedly playing with the blond's hair while the blond tosses a large, crimson jewel between his hands.
"Lucy!" A dark haired woman calls, and for a second, Caspian thinks it's Susan, except Susan and Peter are still kissing, curled up together in a chair. Behind her, a dark-skinned slightly younger woman hovers, carrying a small bouquet of wildflowers.
"Morgana, Gwen," Lucy greets, and they step closer. "This is Caspian, from the stories." She waves in his general direction offhandedly. "Where've the rest gone to?"
"Off to Dragon knows where," the blond man mutters.
"Arthur!" The dark haired man admonishes.
"Oh, shut it, Merlin," the blond replies, and pushes himself upwards for a kiss.)

Date: 2009-04-21 01:22 pm (UTC)"We were on a job, Lancelot," Susan says behind him, and Caspian turns his head to see her and Peter going up the stairs together, both looking tired. Susan kicks her shoes off and they skid over the stairs and fall down onto the floor below.
"Grapes?" Lucy offers, holding up a bag. Gwen lunges for them, snatching them away from Lucy, who gives a cry of indignation and chases after her. "I didn't say the whole bag!" she shrieks.
"We got a few things," Edmund says. "Help me unload the car?" Arthur swings himself up with surprising agility. He's built like a warrior, but his next words dispell the wariness Caspian regards him with.
"Oreos!" he yells, and takes off through the door like a shot. Edmund rolls his eyes and follows him through, Lancelot shortly behind him with little more than a curious glance for Caspian.)

Date: 2009-04-21 05:53 pm (UTC)"So, you're Caspian, right?" Morgana asks.
Caspian nods.
"Oh! Caspian! I remember now!" Merlin leaps up suddenly and lands like a frog in front of him. "You're the one who they went back to Narnia to help, wasn't it? King Caspian X?"
Caspian blushes and nods again.
"Oh, look what you've done now," Morgana sighs in mock exasperation. "You've put Merlin on a roll. Well, I'm going to find Gwen and those grapes. Have fun."
She leaves, and Merlin immediately begins babbling. "Oh, Lucy's told me your story, she's the only one who really tells it, Peter just looks kind of angry when I ask him about it. Arthur really doesn't look angry the way Peter does mostly. Arthur's the blond prat who just ran out after the Oreos, by the way. Anyways, Peter mostly spends his time with Susan. And Edmund and Lucy. Gwen says he prefers solitude, and I guess so, but at least he's not a prat like Arthur. Anyways, how are you?")
