[IC]This situation seems all too familiar somehow. When will I ever learn not to accept invitations by mysterious Tolkien enthusiasts? The last one turned out to be a former Vala out of BoLT in disguise, this time we've got your typical mad scientist (although his intentions were certainly laudable, don't get me wrong) - what's next?
As for finding the culprits, isn't it blatantly obvious? I mean, who would have the best motive to stop the Professor from accomplishing his plan - who but the hellish triumvirate that was responsible for those wretched movies and made loads of money by mangling Tolkien's plot and characters? No idea how they managed to sneak in here, but they must still be in this house - so let's find them and see that justice is done for this crime and their many others. This is our chance to at least make sure that Peter Jackson won't direct The Hobbit![/IC]

OK, what have we got?
- Shasta is guilty of making lame jokes;
- Fea and Agan have both confessed to being wolves, trusting that we'll dismiss that as inside jokes; shame on whoever thinks of signalling to the cobbler, I suppose?
- Greenie says she won't say something obvious and noncommittal and with her next breath does exactly that;
- Lottie's untypically laid back and non-pot-stirring;
- Nerwen, on the other hand, is typically laid back and inscrutable;
- wilwa doesn't really say much, but doesn't display the fake optimism which is her wolvish trademark;
- sally confesses to being amazing (which tells us nothing new) and gets mysterious hints;
- Eomer uses Downs movie posts as an alibi, which is plain meta-reasoning;
- Boro apparently is an armpit pickle with a degree in engineering, quite an enigma;
- TEW watches too much TV and is blandly optimistic;
- skip seems content to banter and wait for things to happen.
So where do we go from here?
