minis

(no subject)

Apparently I have not one, but two mini-Balrogs living in my RC. It emerges that when Dafydd and his wife left, neither of them took their minis with them. So I guess Thanduril and Elberath are mine and Kaitlyn's now?

I mean, they're very pretty, with the fire and all, don't get me wrong...

My RC has had a weird time with minis. We originally had a mini-Hound of the Baskervilles, but it got turned from green to pink during the Poison Joke adventure. We kind of . . . unofficially donated it to the Nursery . . . I know a worker there who likes pink, okay?

Anyway, then we got a bunch of little ink monster minis from Epic Mickey, but they got ink all over my partner's bookshelf, and he freaked and chased them out. But one eventually came back and fixed the books. Doc didn't like minis for a while, but I think that mellowed him a bit . . . lately, he's been talking about getting a mini-acromantula, so hopefully we wind up with a Potterverse mission soon?

Heh. I suppose compared to that sort of trouble, I've been pretty lucky. We've still got Dafydd's fireproof gear sitting around, and the RC has come through mini-occupation unscathed.

I've actually not run into the more exotic breeds of minis - my encounters tend to be with mini-Wolves and things along those lines. I have to say, though, ink monsters as incarnations of bad writing makes an awful lot of sense...

Although, in-game, Blotlings are more about painting-art than writing-art.

As for mini-Balrogs, I'm pretty sure having an actual fire source anywhere in our RC would be a step too far for Doc, though. On the other hand, they are the classic mini, aren't they?

I don't care how famous they are. No fire near my bookshelf. Not that we should ever find one. I'm far from being a Tolkien expert, so there's no reason we would get a mission to Middle-earth.

. . . You do know you should never say things like that out loud, right?

That wasn't "out loud." It was typed.

Wee wud not burn bucks. Bucks aR veree nIs. And lots ov us ned homs, it is lonlee withawt won.

Lots ov them ned homes; can't argue with that.

No. Fire. Ever.

Pfft, yeah, I feel you Doc. But you're not going to get anywhere talking to the Pyro Queen and her flamey little minions.

Like you're not a pyro too.

I'm actually not. Fun fact: it is possible to be hyper and cheerful without wanting to set everything on fire!

... nah.

We can be hyper and cheerful, and be perfectly content with just punching things!

It's true. In our RC, she's the one in charge of punching stuff.

Gee. That hadn't occurred to me, actually. (Vania)
