[Galadriel (or Artanis, as she now thinks of herself) suddenly found herself in a room that was totally unfamiliar to her. What’s even stranger is that she had no memory of how she got there. She finds the journal fairly quickly and flips through it, but it does little to assuage her fears.

When she dictates, it’s not the calm, practiced dictation of Galadriel (although there are hints of it in there), but rather the voice of a frightened young girl, trying to sound far more intimidating than she is capable of being.]

I know not who brought me here, nor why, but know that my father and my brothers will not stand for this. I am Artanis, daughter of the High King Finarfin. If you release me immediately, they may be persuaded to show you mercy.

[With that she tucks the journal under her arm and sets out to explore, first the room she arrived in, and then the castle. Unlike on her initial exploration, however, her movements are slightly hesitant, timid, and more obviously marked by fear. ]

[ooc: She will be running into Rin in their shared room, I believe, but after that will be roaming the castle. Feel free to encounter the mini-elf or to answer her over the journal.]

[oh, dear. he's seen enough of her mind and her memories to know just what's gone on here. first River, then Jilly, and now Galadriel .... Five sighs, softly]

Well, this is becoming a rather inconvenient trend.

[There's a little frown and, if he could see it, a familiar look of concentration.]

I fear I do not understand, sir.

It simply disturbs me how many young children are being brought here, that's all. [nice save, Five] Though, I'll tell you honestly: no one you speak to here could be counted as your kidnapper - we're all being held here, by an entity that refuses to show itself.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

I am no young child. I may not yet be of age, but I am capable of caring for myself and I have been trained in swordcraft along with my brothers. [Ah, teenage ego does not help that problem she has with pride.]

Still, there is some sense in what you say. I feel a great force here. Is that the entity of which you speak?

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

Most of it is, yes ... you may also be sensing other residents here with strong psychic powers or otherworldly abilities, in addition to that.

[like, oh, I dunno ... HIM. and the TARDIS]

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

There are so many here. Neither Valar nor Maiar, yet not of Elvenkind. Never have I felt anything like it. [And she sounds rather excited about that.]

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

And that's really one of the more beautiful things about it, I think: the diversity. Even if it's not what any of us would have really imagined ourselves doing.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

May I ask your name? I fear you have me at something of a disadvantage.

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, forgive my rudeness, quite sorry indeed. I'm Lakare. [he knows he can at least give her that. it might ping some sort of connection, even through the loss, it may not. he's not sure. you never know with psychics]

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

I am hardly one to speak of rudeness, given my own introduction to the castle. [Starting to feel a little sheepish about that. And there's not much of a reaction to the name, a vague sense of deja-vu, perhaps, but nothing more.] You are well met, Lakare, regardless.

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

[eh, it was worth a shot] Well, when people first arrive, they're often confused and upset - it's to be expected, and you're utterly forgiven. Don't even mention it.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

I would have done well to look over this tome with more care. [Acting on half-formed knowledge is not a good thing. And definitely not something someone of a royal family should do.] But, still, I thank you for your kindness.

Am I to understand, then, that none here have found a means of escape? [And this is much more alarming to Artanis than it was to Galadriel; Artanis has never been without her family.]

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome, and think nothing of it. ... And no, nothing concrete as of yet. That isn't for any lack of trying, however. I myself have been here a little over two years, and haven't stopped trying to unravel the mysteries of this place.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

I may be able to be of some aid in that. I see much that others do not. [At this age, she's much more trusting and willing to offer her help without hesitation. Unfortunately, she's also inexperienced and would be a lot less able to handle the full force of the castle.]
