The Needlehole Mysteries [3]

oooooh  i had almost forgot about that one

i don't think i'll ever be done with movember... :/ i have the ending though.. just haven't written it. probably never write it... especially now that i have started something on my own... which i will send in somwhere when i get it done... if i get it done... (all i need is a plot... i have characters and character development and setting and everything... it's sci fi... sort of... i'd love to share but it's in norwegian)

What a tease!    Your english is more than good enough surely to translate it once you've finished?

hehehehe

  Just get on wi it lass!

Oh, that's a shame. And not just because it was partly written in my honour.  

Though if you have the end in mind maybe you'll get hit by inspiration one day when you're bored and finish the whole thing in less than five minutes. That tends to happen with me from time to time.

You're new thing.. sounds interesting. I'd certainly be interested in reading it.

Well, I'd be awfully flattered.   Wether it'll be awfully flattering or not.

yeah, i have to finish it, but after exams i think  i need to revisit some old mindset and well.. find the notes i made

I'd love to read it as well when you feel it's ready, Norc, if you want to share it

Whats with all the pussyfooting about?!   

Get on with it Norc, write the damned thing and then post it for us to read!   Oh, and do it now!!   Bloody Fjordians.   

oh cuties, but they phrase is actually "bloody Nora"

So I wrote a little bit, thought I'd post what I had as I got a bit stuck with the rest. Wanna go next, Norc?

Eldo let out a relieved sigh.
- Later buddy, I think we've been drugged or something. We need to get out of here and fast.

Ringo thought it best to focus on what he actually understood and implemented his fog maneuvering training from his army days. (Third best in his class, if you must know. One of his classmates was still unaccounted for to this day.)

They crawled on their hands and feet. Eldo kept his eyes to the ground and the soles of Ringo's feet, praying Ringo wouldn't go mental again. At last they managed to find the exit to the showers.  They found themselves in the girl's shower, the walls eerily covered with red writing - lipstick hopefully - reading variations of “I love Kate”, “Kate” and “etaK”. The decided to hurry out in the corridor and into the men's locker to retrieve their clothes, which fortunately lay untouched where they had left them. It wasn't until they were both dressed that Eldo dared to speak again.

- This has not been good for my hang over...
Ringo glanced around with suspicion.
- Think I've got a touch of that too now.. What in the name of Eru is happening?



They initiated their “sneaking detective crouching G.I. Underhill” routine, but the effort was a waste. The corridor was empty, same was true for the lobby and neither the strict lady and the man with the flute could be seen. They exited through the front door and found the one thing they were not prepared for: A very angry looking Nora.

-It took ages to hose Eldo's breakfast off the cart, do you know how well bacon clings to wood, do you!? And I had to feed the pony! And THEN I had to wait HERE for ages! Where have you been?!

-Um...

-You were supposed to push Eldo though the shower and get back! And why are you two jumpy like Petty without a Buckie?

-See...

-The cart is spotless, while you two look like drowned cats. And cats! Cats! We are supposed to find a cat! It's lunch time and we have found NOTHING!!!!!

-In our defense...

-This better be good or I swear by Eru that...

-Eldo figured out the cat thing.

-If that is true then you both should have come out here and shared that info with ME, we are supposed to be a TEAM and...

-...someone tried to kill us.

Pause.

-Get into the cart.

…

Nora pinched the bridge of her nose. A fresh page of her trusted notebook had the words “Conclusion: CC’s cat is….”, written with an eager hand. But the writing had abruptly stopped and the pen lay flat between the book and Nora's palm.

-So your conclusion is that CC’s cat is a metaphor and the cat that tried to drown you was either an assassin or a hallucination?

Eldo nodded.

Nora's lip started trembling and tears were threatening to spill.
-What happened to us? We used to be awesome!

Eldo threw his hands in the air, frustrated that his brilliant theory was going unappreciated. Ringo pitched in.

-Cats aside, what about the writing? Let us focus on that. Kate, etaK. Sounds like CC or Ally. As do the weird fog, right? Unless there are other's who make such... potions.

Nora drew her breath.
-Yes, that is true. But I don't see why she would want to drug and kill you?

-Yeah, added Eldo. But what with the kissing?

Nora's voice rose to a high pitch.
-Kissing?!

-Yeah, and that's when the cat tried to drown me and Ringo thought I was Draugen.

In Mando's Halls, Ringo thought, Eldo's life tapestry would show how he was created with a head made of solid lumber.

-Right, Ringo hurridly added. Well we also thought that it might be a good idea to head over to the embassy and see how if we might get Amarië to shed some light on this mystery. Before we got drugged. I am sure there is a perfectly reasonable solution to all this.

-Fine! Growled Nora, in the way women do which means that things are anything but fine but you will die if you ask about it.
-Embassy it is! And your precious Amarië who can answer all things.

She spun around, her curls bouncing fiercely as she crawled to the front of the cart to grab the reins. Eldo fell over as Nora cracked the whip and the cart was swiftly get in motion. Eldo bounced about as the pony sped off while Ringo had the benefit of quick reflexes and several army courses in mud slide rock surfing and cod fishing with his grandfather as a little boy. He was not not quite sure which of the two had been the most risky. Nora's mumblings sounded a bit dangerous as well.

Love it <3 i am looking forward to continuing it, but i get pulled for exam today... And my computer just died.... It's not the best of days...

 New stuff to read- thats my evening sorted- got this and the last part of the Archet Bugle story still to read.
Just need to get a few buckies in.

Oh, the plot thickens.   

Yeah! We totally know what we are doing!

totally.

Amarie? Har vi oversikt over alle delan? Altså at ingen e rota bort?

Also i think movember should be put under needlehole-fanfiction now that it's finished

just one more thing before i leave for the weekend  i've been re-reading some stuff to get in the mood of writing another part of the fanfiction and i saw this funfact that i think went over a couple of heads so..

fun-fact:
when Agent Nora tells about the shaggy dog she found in Bree called the Hound of Bree (the incident with the coat) it turned out to be the huge, hairy dog she kinda adopted aka. Leopold. Now Leopold (my dog in real life) is of the breed briard also called Berger de Brie which basically means "shepherd from brie" (herding dog from Brie(france)). So the shaggy dog found in needlehole in Bree (nor.tran. Bri) is actually a dog from Bree/Brie  
funny coincident, or?
