*Casually walking in and looking around at the wonderous, full pub here* Aww, this is a really nice pub. So lively, so full of different customs. Yes and your menu looks very delicious I would love to try your Hot stew, strawberry Nectar, and some sausage rolls please. Thank you, I'll sit here and talk to whomever is near about. *Recieves her meal* Your guarantee must be served hot and fresh, if not that's what it should be. This looks really good. AAWWW Arwen, my daughter, this pub you got here is the best around. A place where you can actually get a full meal that will fill you right up! So tell me, how is everything going with you, and Gondor? It really looks like Gondor is really starting to shape up some more. Well, around Rivendell, your father, like he always has, still complains about how it really should have been. No war, if the ring would have been destroyed when the chance was right. But he still goes around tell all the little youngsters themselves to always to what there told. Even though the say they are, then they go off and they do what THEY want not what the Elders want them to do. That's the way everyone was when they were at the age. That's the way you were too. Look at you now, your all grow up and married *Turns around and wipes her eyes* I'am very happy for you. Well, it looks like you have other customers to deal with, when your finished you're welcome to come and talk with me again.

*Helke, Captainess of Osgiliath rides into town on her large grey horse. After tie-ing him in the stables, she walks into the large pub* Suliad Queen Arwen*bows* After a long day in Osgiliath, I'm starving!I will have an apple cider and some split pea soup to start, as well as some rolls (white). *Helke goes to sit at a table alone, and pulld out some papers to look through while she waits. Soon, her meal arrives, and she begins to eat.* The food here is delicious as always My Lady. My compliments on such a wonderful pub!

[Elandra]

Arwen makes haste to order some ent draught (off the menu ofcourse) and sits with her mother. "Helke!" she shouts accross the crowded pub to get the captainess attention. She hears her and makes over to their table. "Sit, my friend in arms and have some ent draught with us!" she turns to her mother and entroduces them: "This is our new Captainess of Osgiliath. She served as a personal scout for Faramir before the war and was recently promoted. I am glad to have such good friends in charge of my matters. Building up Minas Tirith is a lengthy task and it seems that Aragorn has his minds on other matters." Arwen smiles and sips some of the entdraught. She suddenly remebers what her mother was talking about. "Oh, yes, elvlings." She laughs a little. "Well, they are as children everywhere. And youngsters, ofcourse. They seem to have a mind of their own." She sips ent draught. "This is a costly draught, but one does not complain about the taste, does one?" she says and smiles. "Now you two, pray tell me of Rivendell and my father and ofcourse Helke, how is everything coming in Osgiliath? Will we soon have it as it were, a place of wonders of art and music? Oh how I long to hear music again! And poems, such as they were in my father's house before the war." Arwen gets lost in her memories...

[Helke~Greenleaf]

*Helke walks over to the two elves and sits down.*"Suiliad m'lady Luthien, , and same to you Queen Arwen! Osgiliath is doing fine. We are still rebuilding it, as it fell into ruin some time ago. I still remember when we fought the hosts of Mordor when the war had started, before the Lord Boromir left seeking answers. But, that was long ago! I saw some orc activity a few days ago, but we have cleared them! They shan't be a threat to our kingdom. Osgiliath is safe in my hands. Some of the recrutes had a little trouble taking a lady as a captain, but Ihave shown my worth I believe." *Helke takes a large sip of her Ent Draught, as the other elves talk, then continues* "Yes, I can imagine that King Aragorn Elessar has quite a task! You M'lady Arwen are very lucky to have found him. Of course, I have always had my eye on the prince of Mirkwood...but I doubt he would ever feel the same about a Gondorian captain!"

[Elandra]

Arwen smiles at Helke and her thoughts on a certain prince of Mirkwood. "Well, you might say he is a very popular elf... But he does have his quirky ways! I believe that he and Aragorn have talked of certain helping with the remaking of our fair country, Aragorn was saying the other day about an idea Legolas and Gimli had. They meant to take with them folks of their kin when they returned from up north, to assist in the remaking of our fair cities, most of all Ithilien. But I should suspect that they could be entised to start their renovations in the fair city of Osgiliath? Perhaps if I discussed this matter with Aragorn?" Arwen said and smiled knowingly to Helke. She suddenly noticed she was becoming a little pekish and excused herself for a moment to go into the kitchen after a bowl of nuts. As she returned, she cleared some of the tables and then sat down again. "I am glad to hear such excellent news of Osgiliath. I am certain that you have it in you to get it into mens heads, that a woman leader is as good as a male. We are at the brink of a new age here, where strong women shall lead us into a new Age of peace and well being. We shall prosper in this land and make it into the image of us all," Arwen said and tosted on the note.
Sipping on the ent draught she suddenly remeberd. "Mmm, yes, I almost forgot, I meant to ask you, mother, how is old Bilbo Baggins? Is he still residing in Rivendell? All this talk of music and poems made me think of his silly stories. He was an extraordinary hobbit, that one!" she said and smiled as memories filled her head. "I remember the poem he made for me, long ago, when Aragorn and the Fellowship had just left Rivendell and I was left alone wondering and pondering... It was the silliest little song of a cow and a bucket of milk, and ofcourse I had no idea what he was talking about at the time! But oh how I laughed! He sure can tell a story, that hobbit." Arwen smiled and fell lost in memories again...

[Helke~Greenleaf]

"Hmmm, yes, we will most definatly need the help! If there is an elven Captain, then shouldn't there be a tiny bit of elvish-ness in the city!" Helke says laughing. When she hears the queen tell her about Legolas and his ways."Yes, that is one of the reasons I love him even more! I am just as odd as he. Ah, but if you could perhapes get him into Osgiliath and I could be his guide, things might work..." The elf lady begins laughing again."But then again, who would want a lady who cares more about warfare than maning a house! But, he is so dreamy..." The she-elf then falls into her dreams, once again. The others hear her talking 'gift of the Vala to she-elves everywhere' as she continues talking about the Elven Prince...

[Loralya]

Ok, I haven't been on in like two weeks, so, I thought I should stop in and just say hi. HI!!! ;D

[Helke~Greenleaf]

Helke sees Loralya walk into the pub, and waves cheerfully. "Hi, want to come and have a drink with us?" the elf (yes, I am an elf!) asks happily.

[Iluvatar]

*A cloked figure walks in out of a thunder storm, that was raging war with the city. The figures hood was pulled down low to prevent any body from telling who it was. The figured walked smoothly and evenly over to the bar and wispers an order to the bar tender. Then turned and stared at the 3 in the corner table. Suddenly you notice a few strands of blood red hair comeing out of the hood.*
No use hidding myself now... the figure thought to self, as she noticed the three saw the hair...Not many people have hair as red as mine...
*Suddenly the figure removes her hood to reveal the Elven Istari known as Iluvatar.*

"Govanan mellon-nins! Sorry for the deception." Iluvatar says as she recives her drink. "I like to travel with out being noticed. So tell me whats new in Rivendell and Gondor and i will do like wise with Isengard!" She represses horrible fits of laughter as she had a story to tell.....

[Helke~Greenleaf]

"Hello, Illuvatar." Helke says as the new comer sits down with them. "News in Gondor, well, other than the fact that I am now Queen, there is not much. We have not spotted an orc for a long while, though I feel as if the peace time is almost over." she says sadly.

[valaraukar]

hey Helke hows it going without Arwen... its ok i think youll do good and while im here ill have ale ( wait asecond did i here the word orc whats going on here)

[Luthien]

Well, my lovely daughter. Yes Bilbo Baggins is still writing away on those silliest of poems and songs. But now it seems that his time is about over, but we first thought that when he first came. Now look how long he's lived. WOW. Well, I was doing some thinking when you and Helke were talking. I was thinking long ago when the rings were not yet discovered and the land was so beautiful. When Helke mentioned about some orcs, I then thougth of how they were treated. Those monsters didn't deserve that treatment. But you know you get caught in one thing than another and I guess they'll have you for good. O, I almost forgot, this is a very lovely pub you have going on here. I love it, it's nice. Have you been to Rivendell in the last resent month. Your stubborn father is at it again. He thinks the whole world is going under, but that is from ..........you know........... Well I guess he isn't that bad. He has been up tight lately, I seriously am worried about what's happened throught out the years and how it's affected his life. You and Aragorn, the War, and the rebuilding of many things.

[Aman]

hello! my there are so many rules! *aman sits down and tries to listen to other peoples conversations but can't seem to concentrate.* I'll have whatever vegetarian foods you have around here, thanks!

[Elandra]

The pub door opened and a strange figure stepped in. It was covered in filth from an obviously long journey and walked with its muddy boots to the bar with all eyes fastened at its long figure. The hooded stranger said in a low voice to the bar tender:
"Ale, and be quick about it."
The bartender gave the ale and the hooded stranger payed for it and took a long sip, emptying nearly half the pint.
"Thirsty, are we?" the stranger heard the bartender ask.
"Long journey," it grunted and sat down in the corner with its drink.
