The Needlehole Mysteries [2]

great timing, Am  just finished

Safely seated again, the trio ordered another round of drinks and sat silently for a while, occasionally giving Eldo a quick glance. No questions were asked. Eldo moved his umbrella in circles, pretending he didn’t notice Ringo and Nora’s curious looks. He was glad they didn’t ask, he wasn’t too sure he would be able to keep the lie going. The word “lie” burnt, but it was true. Whatever the Fjordians were deducing, it wasn’t what really had happened. They almost looked a bit offended.
“so…” Eldo said. “did djoo geht anywhere with dat bloo shurted hobbit?” realizing he had been drinking a bit too much on an empty stomach.
“I did, Ringo didn’t”
“Oi, we both know I came closest!” The two Noras took a deep breath, and even through the blurry haze of the devils beverage he managed to avoid another outburst of foreign outburst.
“NO! no. lesnot go there..hm?” I lifted his hand to order another round of drinks, but Ringo discretely took it away. Eldo didn’t notice.
“where did he even go?” Nora wondered and looked around.
“I dunno…”
“I fink he ranaway..” Eldo shrugged. “you’re both being too aggressive”
“oh, really?” Nora raised an eyebrow. “How do you suggest one should proceed when approaching a potential partner?” Eldo held up an educating finger and said (slowly because he was afraid he might stick it up his nose if he did it too quickly).
“you should sit and observe” he had some trouble focusing “looking miserable and distantly stare at the one you want to approach, you need to look approachable but not..not.. too approachable.. it must look like you’re like a God, like Zeus or something and you gotta be mysterious and shit and like look at them and try to make eye contact but like not too much-“ Ringo and Nora listened intently, amused as his language gradually fell apart. “wish.. vish.. visualize how you wanna that do it go and like look like this, messy sort of, like Amarië said so, and like you.. see?” The Fjordians now struggled to keep a straight face, but both liking a good laugh, they let him continue. Eldo had now spotted the blue shirted hobbit from earlier and was now demonstrating his seductive skills, with no apparent effect it seemed.
“shee it’s working” he grinned and winked in the direction. Nora hid her face in an exaggerated facepalm, this was way too embarrassing.
“He’s noticed me now, look now” Eldo then proceeded to ignore the hobbit, who now had caught eye on him, but his performance would never have gotten him any Oscar.
“Eldo, this is just embarrassing, stop it” Nora hissed.
“Eldo” Ringo shook his head “the hobbit just looks uncomfortable.”
“nono, look I have full control” then he turned his head in what he imagined was a very sexy way, but looked more like a shampoo commercial for women. His short hair didn’t help.
“stop it Eldo..” Nora begged.
“will you two stop it” he turned to them “I know exactly what I am doing, I read it in a book somewhere.”
“You read it in a book somewhere?” Nora repeated sceptically.
“yes, now he sees me, right, I got eye-contact, he keeps looking at me because I keep giving him flirtatious looks.”
“Flirtatious looks?” Ringo repeated sceptically.
“yes” he turned back towards the hobbit who now seemed mildly irritated and was whispering intensely with his comrades. “now, one of you have to kiss me”
“what?!” Nora burst out.
“to make him jealous.”
“why?”
“so he sees what he’s missing out on” he said, rolling his eyes, “duuh”
“shut it, Nora, I wanna see if this works” Ringo said and without hesitation he grabbed Eldo’s face and kissed him hard as only a man kisses another man. Nora blushed and looked away. After what seemed forever they emerged to the surface again with a sound that reminded her a bit too much of a suction cup being pulled out of a toilet.
“woah.. th-thanks Ringo” Eldo stuttered.
“No prob”
“well, it didn’t work” Nora shot in “he’s gone.”
“yeah, I know” Eldo grinned.

They stayed on for a bit, drinking, laughing and telling shitty stories. But it didn’t take long though before they decided to return to their mansion because Eldo was just too drunk to function. They also had to meet up at the police station tomorrow at dusk to search for CC lost cat, if it did exist.
Ringo grabbed Eldo under the arms and Nora held a firm grip around his waist and they managed to leave with most of Eldo’s dignity intact. They had just gotten out in the fresh and freezingly cold night air when the blue shirted hobbit approached them. Nora felt embarrassed as all three of them had hit on him and tried to look away.
“Moment of truth” Ringo whispered dramatically.
“hi, I’m Lance” he said as he put a note with his phone-number in the back pocket of Eldo’s jeans. “call me” and then he was gone. Nora and Ringo just looked at each other, shocked, then at Eldo who just grinned, looking aweful with messy hair and heavy eyes.
“see, told ya it’d workh”

Oh yeah! Eldo, you fox! All he needed was a little councilling by the nutty ambassador. XD

yupp ^^ and a book and some Ringo


(spent the last ten minutes correcting spelling-mistakes lol )


btw, do you wanna put in a super link?

Added.  

Ringo is SO sir Gwaine... Why you are not in Merlin fandom I will never know.

i dunno  i think i would've fitted right in

Nora is Gwen(-ish), Eldo a mix between Arthur and Merlin (depending on the author and universe of course), Amarie is a bit Morgana-like.

I guess Lester cat can double for the Great Dragon as far as annoying talking creatures are concerned.

Yeah... you belong.

Full story thread added to the table of contence as well.

you know, i can see that   

(also i made a thing http://www.hobbitmovieforum.com/t684-work-a-hobbit-full#84902 can you put in some links, here and there, cus i dunno know how to link to a specific post and edit other peoples posts (see this is why i need to be a mod! organizing! that's my thing, links and shit!))

damit simul-post :O

(if it's okay with you i'de say we just keep posting parts here, i'll collect them and then post bulks of ten parts at a time at the other thread , just to make it a bit more.. oversiktlig (enlgish?))

Oversightly!  

Yeah, totally agree!

^^ good

btw, we need to round this of soon, it's just so long, i have some ideas  i'll pm u ^^

Yeah, we do with a bit of brain storming. 
I'm planning on using the cat you mentioned to get back on track.

did i mention  a cat? oh yeah (lol, course xD)

and just to make it clear to everyone reading this, we don't plan together what the other write, we just set a theme and a red-tread  it's all very spontaneous  i think that's important to get out there  

I dread to think that people might believe this is a storyline we planned from beginning to end.

i know right xD it's like forumshire, it strays off...  it get's norced and amarieied. amariard. ameireidnfgdsgosdbn ... amarieid. eid.

Amaried... no, a-married thats Figgy and Petty. Peggy. Fitty. Oh god, no...

or amari-eid as in owned/pwend (å eie noen) slang.. maybe it's outdated

e.g Der va du fette eid looool ..

Perhaps Amarie just doesn't translate well into verbs.

or norc just translates perfectly

ugh y r all my posts in this weird font

Is that her theme tune?

Cant believe I gave someone my number!

sorry
