The Needlehole Mysteries

I really did enjoy it, but I have a final in 40 minutes so I don't have much time to comment!

Also, those are suggestive eyebrows.

next time I'm gonna write filthy porn worthy of Tumblr.

Spoiler:

good luck on finals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Åh du hildrande du! That so made my day! XD I think it just might make my tomorrow as well.

Spoiler:

Good luck on your finals, Eldo!!

“Let’s just stay here for a while, Nora, I don’t really feel like going back just yet” Sgt Ringo said, sank down and leaned his head against the wall behind him.
“oh good gracious me,” Nora huffed and examined Ringo’s outfit. “Look what she’s done with your bunad!” She pointed at the ripped shirt and the buttons. Ringo still had his trousers pretty much down at his ankles as he had failed to pull them up while running, for various reasons, leaving next to nothing to the imagination.
“get up.” She demanded. He did so while politely covering (as best as he could) his equipment, as Nora calculated how much the repairing would cost. Several buttons were gone and his silver cuffs were mysteriously missing. The shirt he could at best save for pirate costumes. He’d also lost a shoe and his belt.
“get your pants on, Ringo”
“I am trying, can’t you see?! I got these bunad when I was fourteen, don’t expect too much”. With some help they did manage to pull them up, but Nora felt so awkward dressing up a full grown (very manly) man she ended up giggling, which set Ringo off too.
“omg, you should’ve seen your face!” Nora laughed while trying to adjust his curls back in order (and it proved impossible)
“Lol, you should’ve seen yours!” And they laughed until they cried and their stomachs ached.



Abruply ending, but I really have to go to bed.

Pirate costumes! XD

Right.. sleeping... hmf...

Thanks for the good wishes, guys! I think the final went pretty well. All I have left is now a bit more writing and it'll all be over by Wednesday!

I'm really enjoying you guys' story, I'd love to see more after you've both had a chance to sleep.

Careful what you wish for, Eldo! I made a quick little sketch at work, should have spent a second or two on at least one arm I see. Oh well, still worth a giggle I guess.

I got 4 hours of sleep, and this is what happens:

The face that crashed a thousand ships.

Spoiler:

Endless talent on here- its sickening!

Brilliant thread this, perfect balance between narrative and art works on here, brilliant stuff from everyone involved.

Talent, insanity. Po-tey-to/ po-ta-to.

There's more. I'm a bit unfocused today....
(And someone has been looking at Norc's instructions. A bit.)

Spoiler:

what is that a baby?! Poor Ringo!!!! D: oh my god.. what has happened xD what did I do!?
though I am glad my instructions helped out

that may not be a good idea. Especially when thinking of the Noldo ship. Elra.. eldra.. nordlo.. nordo...Noldo was coolest.

LOL. I just want to point how ridiculously much Ringo has changed. like seriously. he even changed eyecolour.. and .. face.

Spoiler:

Thats like when you see early cartoons from a famous cartoonist of characters you know and they look different because the cartoonist hadn't quite settled into a style and look yet.

Great to see them all together like that Norc. Fantastic work from you and Amarie.
Making me want to get the pencils out again- I havent drawn on paper in a loooong time. Not sure I remember how pencils work any more.

Nora wiped a tear from her eye as the laughter died down. They were quiet a bit. Ringo assessed the damage done to his clothing and started to look a bit too lost in thought. Nora knew it was time to be firm. She was the only sane one here after all.

- Ok, Ringo. What were you thinking? NO!!! Don’t answer that! But she’s the Dark Planet ambassador, not some rosy cheeked bar maid.
- She’s definitely not your average bar maid… look at the state of my shirt!

Nora punched him hard in the arm, making the few curls she had succeeded in taming fall down and bounce merrily.

Ringo struck out his arms.
- What? I’m innocent! Mostly! I just went to collect the bowl we brought ‘moltekrem’ in, I turn and there she was! She said something about knowing a secret locations of cloud berries and…

Nora quickly put her fingers in her ears.
- Lalalalaaaaa!
Ringo glared at her, then pulled a face with his lips tightly sealed to demonstrate that he had stopped talking. Nora squinted her eyes at him, then quickly resumed to her lection.

- She is the ambassador!
- Yes, you’ve mentioned that. Gosh darn it, I had no idea!
- Shut up! You were flirting! I saw you! You are... incorrigible! Never mind that Eldo would kill you, what if you make …little …ambassadors.

She illustrated her point by making her fingers run across the palm of her hand like tiny feet. Ringo turned a bit green at the idea, but quickly shrugged it off.

- Really, neither of us are that stupid, what we did was…
- Lalalalalaaaaaaa! Images! Horrible images!
- Okeeeeey! Maybe you should stop talking about it then! But I think we should get going now before we draw more attention to ourselves.

- What about your bowl? mocked Nora.
- Casualty of war. Will be sadly missed. Pony cart. Now.

They sneak away to the gate trying not to giggle and stood impatiently while waiting for their pony and cart. And elderly hobbit wearing an apron came rushing down towards them. He was carrying two tins which he placed on the back on the cart.

- Leftover 'rømmegraut', he explained gracefully, thought slightly out of breath.
- Compliments of our hostess.

He gestured with his hand, and both Herrings cast a worried glance back up towards the embassy where they see Amarie at a distance. She gave a small wave and a seemingly kind smile. Though to Nora she did look a bit like the cat who caught the mouse. Still, they both waved back with a forced polite smile in return.

- How very kind of her! exclaimed Nora to the man, then quickly climbed up the cart and had the pony moving before Ringo had time to sit down. He nearly tumbled over the seat. Luckily, he was a very agile hobbit so all went well. He did not mind getting a quick getaway.

- She seems to take it well... mumbled Nora, then she shuddered as Ringo's ears turned red.

The next day one of the display cabinets in Amarie's "closet" would be the home of a new item. The label read:
"Authentic Fjordian cuff links and shirt buttons. Donated anonymously."

I really like the newest Ringo with the Morten Harket look. A true inspiration! XD

hehe, yeah. I must say I like the last ones better it's just more grown up and.. erm... sexy.

oh yeah .. though, there is more in him than just Morten Harket.. but i dunno from where.

oh my, the story!!!! great ending!!
little ambassadors :/ I had no idea it went that far..... oh god..


wonder what the pony cart driver had to do for the leftovers...

and I think, by now, my favorite bromance is Noringo.

Noringo is awesome! Elgo bromance (and ship) is less loud I feel. A bit sweeter.

I thought it was was best to have Ringo point out that there were no new ambassadors made, but what they actually did is for each shipper to decide I think.

And shirt ripping in a must in Needlehole Mystery shipping it seems.

oh yeah shirt ripping and buttocks... and more to come. (I hope)

since I was at it anyway.
Progression of DI Eldo

Spoiler:

Progression of Agent Nora

Spoiler:

Progression of Sgt Ringo

Spoiler:

When seeing them all here I think Agent Nora is the one with the most outstanding continuty failures, both in appearence and artistic style.. she also went through a phace.. and some time had eye-lazer treatment.
the DI is pretty much uncanged...

Yeah yeah that's all well and good, but where is the Ambassador!

Lol, oh my! XD

Eldo, you really should post soon or we will claim these characters and refuse to give them back, they are awefully fun to play with!

I only have one of you, sorry

That's alright, I'm not sure the Shire could handle more than one Ambassador.
