Well, I've not gotten to the beard-growing stage (and it'd be pretty unlikely me sprouting a full-blown dwarven beard in six weeks), so I have a fake dwarf beard

My costume is minimal effort- fake beard, cloak, axe, plain shirt and trousers, boots, belt

@ shrike
Than lords daughter maybe? and where is the beer mug and smoking pipe? No respectable dwarf would venture off without them!

Arwen doesn't appear in the Hobbit IIRC...

Damn, now I'm tempted to make a mug and pipe

now we are on lord of the rings? where is vik?

To be honest, this thread changes topic so often it's barely worth noting any more
as for Vik, I presume he's been kidnapped or some such.

He said his wife was dragging him and the boys out to that "outside" place we keep hearing about. Maybe he was eaten by a grue?

Or a wortbladder beast

should've brought his towel, or at least covered his eyes...

There we go, that was what I was thinking, the only other fate worse than that would be the wife dragging them to a poetry recital of the Vogonic variety.

in fact, there are two worse poets- Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Greenbridge, Essex, and Grunthos the Flatulent, of the Azgoths of Kria.

Shouldn't we dispatch a rescue mission or something? Maybe he's counting on us... Do we have any active agents in that region?

PS
Shrike, logically Arven could be around Rivendell that time, but random elf fits fine anyway ) Just don't forget the pointy ears, so some orc can cut them off muhahaha... We used to collect elf ears during live rpgs when I was young and healthy to run in the woods in full metal armour...

You know, I always thought that Humans were one of the only races that could ever actually appreciate Vogon poetry- for everyone else, the somewhat random nature of it is physically painful, and I imagine that the Vogons, despite their Beurocratic nature, simply make-up half the words they use. Arthur should've started reciting Lewis Carrol right back at them, see how they like that!

(Headcannon only).

No, at six weeks growth, you'd just be an itchy Beardling.

so vik eaten?

If Vik was eaten whole, as in swallowed, we can in fact send a rescue team in with grapnels and rapelling lines. If he was chewed on, we shall have to put him in the rivet-cloner

We only need a small amount of his DNA for the cloning process.

I suppose you could improve this new Vik at that time.

I heard that this Outside is pretty large... we'll need a Vik-detector of some kind to find his remains... If he's still salvageable we can make a rivet-cop or something. An in-build rivetgun will be a nice addition i think...

Tap into the greater-Berlin area public surveillance system, look at cameras near riveted areas of town.

This is just Vik-timisation ……..

Maybe his Rivettos have whisked him away to an undisclosed location.

Blame it on the fact that Vik has been bathing in the glory that is the DCM Moshpit. Yea.....its that awesome and warm there

Blame it on the drain, yeah, yeah.

So... Vik not eaten, but rivet-clone-Vik will be here now. Excellent. Rivet cop, rivet gun? how about rivet minigun!

Time to pull Vik's hair/blood/fingernail sample for the clonetronicrivetatomicreplimator
