Lord of The Rings Popcorn War

[Mippin]

Sort of like Sauron's discount rings on the barrow-downs which was so unruefully closed, only the characters are in a theatre.. and well.. you'll see
This is just a more LoTR-ish type of popcorn war started in the Avatar thread.. at least here we can pelt popcorn at each other and be on topic This isn't an RP or anything but if you feel like writing in nice descriptive paragraphs that'll work just fine. There are no rules really, just have fun... remember, the only weapons you get in this war is popcorn! I suppose I'll start...

The new theatre had just opened in Rivendell and in came bustling the two biggest trouble-makers this side of hobbiton. They had large grins across their faces. The two hobbits were followed by two other hobbits, an elf, dwarf, two men and an elderly wizard. Aragorn called out to the two in the front.
"Now you two had better behave, or we're watching the "Arwen Movie"

Merry and Pippin gulped and walked stifly. Anything but the "Arwen Movie"
Slowly they let everyone pass them and asked Gandalf if they could buy some popcorn. Gandalf nodded, and the two mischievous hobbits were off to the consession stand. Moments later they had 4 giant tubs of popcorn. Giving them to Frodo and Sam, they ran off to get four more. The pattern continued for quite some time, until they had about 24 giant tubs of popcorn.

Sam, who was very hungry decided to toss up a kernel and catch it in his mouth, unfortunately, the kernal hit his hand and hit Merry at point blank in the middle of the forehead. Merry looked down at the kernel as it fell lightly to the floor. He cautiously looked at Pippin, who caught on and started making a barrier from twelve of the giant tubs.

Frodo tapped Sam lightly and they set to work on builiding a barrier themselves. Sam ate a bit of popcorn, the normal way as he was bulding. Frodo shook his head and went to get more popcorn. As he went to the conseesion stand he noticed that Pippin had eaten about 3 tubs of popcorn. Frodo laughed lightly and went back to his side with the giant tub.

The four hobbits waited for a few people to get in between the barriers, and at the very moment, a bunch of buttery popcorn flew towards the guests in the lobby. Of these guests was a girl named Mippin. Merry and Pippin were rather amused by that. Mippin turned and saw the popcorn bandits. She fled to the consession stand as she signaled to a bunch of other guests. They gathered up giant tubs of popcorn.

And lo and behold! The popcorn war was now in session.

[Arwen]

Arwen came in carrying a copy of "The Arwen movie"

"Would anyone care to watch?" she said

suddenly she was pelted with popcorn!

"NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you know how long it took me to get my hair this perfect?!?!?!?!?! Now it is ruined!"

She then picked up a tub of popcorn and threw it at the hobbits.

"Never mess with my hair again!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Amarië]

A guest named Amarië walked into the lobby, and went to the consession stand. She ordered an extra extra extra large tub of popcorn She noticed Arwen studying a poster of herself that was being advertised to the 'Arwen Movie'. She walked over to her. Standing behind a plant she grabbed a giant handful of popcorn and pelted it at Arwen. 'Thats for usurping Glorfie!' she mumbled to herself.

Arwen jerked back and looked around to see who had pelted the popcorn. She noticed the hobbits standing near the bush and stomped towards them to show them a piece of her mind. She slipped on some wet popcorn butter someone had spilled ( ) and landed flat on her face. Amarië was on her back laughing to death. ;D

[Mippin]

At the scene, all the hobbits and Mippin ran over to look at the fallen elf. In a moment, they all had joined Amarië and were laughing so hard tears were flowing. Aragorn rushed over to Arwen and began asking Sam for Athelas. Sam, being a bit confuzzled at this, threw a kernel at Aragorn and went back to laughing. Aragorn seemed infuriated, so the hobbits, including Amarië and Mippin raced back to their barriers.

They looked at the floor of the lobby from behind their barriers, and snickered quietly. As soon as Aragorn had Arwen back on their feet, they walked slowly past the barriers, but they didn't get far. As soon as they entered the right zone, they were pelted with popcorn. Being distracted by the flying popcorn, they slipped on the butter all over the floor of the lobby. Once again, everyone nearly toppled over in laughter. It was too easy!

They waited for the next guests to follow the same trajectory.

[Arwen]

By this point, Arwen's hair was a mess and her stunning purple dress was covered in popcorn butter.

"Aragorn, your friends are so mean!" she wined.

She stalked over to amarie an threw some popcorn in her face.

"I think we better build a shelter." Aragorn suggested. Then he slipped on some popcorn.

"Aragorn, I'm being laughted at!!!!!!!! Your not supposed to laugh at elves!!" Sobbed Arwen

[Amarië]

Amarië could barely feel the popcorn thrown at her through her laughter. She took out a camera and began snapping pictures of Arwen's messy hair and butter-covered dress. She put them up right next to the Arwen Movie poster. She beckoned the hobbits and Mippin to come look at them and they all fell over laughing.

[Arwen]

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Arwen.

She pulled out a video camera and began filming. "There's a law suit in this somewhere. How did you ever manage to spend months with these nuts, Aragorn. Aragorn, you laughing at me!!!! I gave up my imortality to be with you and your laughing at me!!!!!!"

Arwen threw a tub of popcorn at Aragorn.

[Amarië]

Aragorn began to laugh even harder. He grabbed a handful of popcorn off the floor and threw it at Arwen. 'Come on, cant ya have a little fun every once in a while?'

'HMPH!' Arwen stomped away to the bathroom to fix her hair and get some of the butter off of her purple dress. Aragorn began to laugh really hard as he saw her stomp away. Then he relized that he better go after her before this got into a really big fight, and he chased after her.

Amarië studied the pictures and began to laugh even more. Then she snuck along the wall in search of another victim.

[Mippin]

Mippin and the rest of the hobbits walked over to Amarië to see the pictures. In moments, they were all howling with laughter. Pippin made a clever, yet blatantly obvious observation. "Elves are really fond of their hair."

Mippin looked over at Amarië, who had already formed an idea. She nodded, and signaled to the hobbits. Immediately, the four hobbits manned their barricades, and Amarië set her camera for the next victim. Meanwhile, Mippin walked out to the minivan where the fellowship came. She snooped around, looking in the windows, until she saw what she was looking for. Picking the lock, and being thankful the alarm wasn't set, she got in and took out the prize posession. She then locked the door and slipped out, running back into the theatre.

Dodging around Gandalf, and Gimli, she opened the bottle of Herbal Essences she lifted from the van. Just a matter of time. She'd have to act quickly. She ran along through the barricades, giving a signal as not to be pelted with popcorn, and poured out the Herbal Essences. She then took off the top, near the end of the barricades, and laid the bottle down. Right is position for Amarië to shoot. Mippin noticed the video camera that Arwen had dropped in her mad rush to the rest rooms. She picked it up and aimed.

"Okay guys, here's the count. 5, 4, 3, 2.....aaaand ONE!" At the one, a distressed Legolas came rushing over to the scene of the crime. As soon as he entered the right spot, he was pelted with popcorn. Merry and Frodo, who were on either side manned the squeaky popcorn butter cannons. Both were aimed at the elf's sparkling hair. Mippin waited for Legover (as she called him) to come into point blank, then she yelled. "FIRE!"

Ducking down, the cannons were shot, and buttery madness broke out. A scream could be heard, emitted from the disgruntled elf. "AI! AI! MY HAIR, MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR!" Mippin peeked over her barricade, and sounded off the signal for Amarië to prepare her camera. Aiming the video camera herself, and making sure to hit record, Mippin slipped the lens out between two giant tubs of popcorn. She was appaled by what she saw.

Legover was so distressed at his buttery hair, that he took to rolling around on the ground, in the Herbal Essences she had poured out. It took a moment for this to register in everyone, before they were rolling on the floor behind their barricades, laughing so hard their sides hurt. Amarië was swift with her camera, and within seconds, had tons of pictures taken, and slapped on the wall. Mippin had filmed the whole bout. She knew it would be a comedy film for years to come. She wondered what she would say when she won an oscar, or better yet...a golden popcorn!!! Maybe she'd stick it in the fridge.

Once more, they all gathered round to look at the pictures, and after catching their breath, they debated on who their next victim should be, and how they would ploy them into the war zone.

[Amarië]

As everyone was looking at the pictures, Amarië watched Legolas rush to the van to get his Herbal Essences. After a few moments he came back screaming, 'SOMEONE STOLE MY HERBAL ESSENCES!!!!'

He went around pointing at people, 'It was you wasn't it. I can smell it on you. Where is it!?!?!' He asked them, but everyone just threw popcorn at him, making him go into a bigger breakdown. Amarië snapped some more shots of the weird elf and posted them on the wall.

[Firondoiel]

Firondoiel had been quietly standing in the restroom watching the popcorn war through a crack in the door. Finally she couldn't stop herself from joining in. The insulting of Elves had made her quite sore. Plus it was hilarious and looked like fun.

She carefully slipped out of her hiding place and made towards the concession stand. The guy running the stand had disappeared long ago. She rigged hose pipes against the drink machine and then turned the liquids on. The laughing group didn't even realize the doom that was headed their way until Mippin was soaked in Dr.Pepper and Amarie in Sprite. Firi spared Arwen and Legolas for the sake that they were Elves.

[Arwen]

"Well it's about time!" Arwen cheered while she ran over to hug Firi. She began to pop more popcorn. Soon it rained soft drinks and snowed popcorn. Legolas came to join to the team at the concession stand. Agagorn walked in the door with flowers. "Arwen I'm sorry!!!!!"
"Do I throw popcorn at him, or accept the flowers?" Arwen pondered.

"Why not do both?" suggested Firi

"Oh Aragorn how sweet!" said Arwen as she threw popcorn at him. "The flowers are beautiful!"

[Mippin]

"NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!" Amarië and Mippin screamed out as they were covered in soda. Oh, it was war alright, it was sheer war. They gathered the hobbits up and planned a strategy, now they had the new victim, and this time, they wouldn't be going easy on them.

The hobbits and A&M (as they sometimes referred to themselves as) hid themselves carefully, and Mippin got out her Dr. Pepper and other soda proof paper. She knew that would come in handy one day. She unfolded the tiny paper to reveal what proved to be an extremely large blue print of the theatre and all the main access to the popcorn butter. She unfolded a hidden flap somewhere in the middle of the blue print, revealing the secret of their master plan. Of course, Mip had tons of other plans as backup, but she was sure this one wouldn't fail. As soon as all the hobbits were clear, they set forth in secret.

Going around hidden passage ways, they tapped into the store of popcorn butter, nice and warm. Oh, the cruelty of having steaming popcorn butter running down your back. It was beautiful. She made sure that Amarië watched over the hobbits, making sure they didn't snag any candy, they would need that later. Then when not even Amarië or the hobbits were looking, Mippin slipped away into the shadows of the hidden passage way, were all supplies were kept. She commenced her operation, and took out a water cannon. Slowly she filled it with an unknown substance. As she walked, her shoes made a squeaky sound, forcing her to walk around in her socks, which were just as sticky. She laughed manically, and muttered to herself, "This one's for Firi...and all those other nancing elves."

She made her way around the corner, and out a back door, then once outside, she headed for the van once more. Taking out a pack, she emptied it, and gathered materials, including a hobbit-sized wingéd helm, and other supplies Merry and Pippin kept with them to annoy Boromir. Mippin was a tad surprised to find a boom box, but immediatly a plan formed in her head for that. The perfect distraction. 'No, no, I shouldn't. All weapons should be edible. But wait, this isn't a weapon, is it now?' she debated in her mind as she carried the pack and boom box, and headed for the door to get back in. 'The Door!' she cried out.

The door had only one way of opening, and that would not be from the way she was coming. She couldn't yell out to Amarië, it was much too risky. As long as the hobbits were safely out of sight, she would have time to find another way in. The main door was too highly gaurded, and nancish as those danged elves were, there was nothing dumb about them.

She ran about the perimteter of the theatre as fast as her sticky feetses could take her, she looked up, a ladder. Perfect. She climbed the ladder as if it were on fire, and soon was atop the theatre. She nearly took time to scheme one last plot for when the elves decided to leave, but urged herself not to, not now. She found the emergency door, the same style as the door she came out.. but wait, there was something wedged in the door. She grasped at it with all her might and soon the heavy door was open. She held her breath as she waited for the alarm to go off. No alarm. By now she was where all the reels were, and saw a computer. Perfect. Just marvelous.

She sat down, and her fingers began the work, she typed with all her might and then uplinked it to all the screens, a nice animation. Thankfully there was a scanner. She searched through the pack and found that Merry and Pippin had some of their own scary Arwen pictures. She got up and in a running stance, and as soon as she hit enter, she ran. She ran so quickly her sticky feetses ached, but no matter, the pain would be relieved when she heard the laughter coming from the theatre. Which was in no time at all.

She hid behind standees, and amongst posters and was soon enough back in her hiding place with all the hobbits and Amarië. Amarië looked worn out, Pippin was making loud noises as he trembled at the sight of M&M's.. so tasty. Rummaing through her pack she took out the wingéd helm, and slammed it down on Pippin's head. He looked a bit odd in normal hobbit clothes and a Gondorian helm, but it did the trick, and the helm brought back memories to him, he was now serious. Merry was bewildered at the transformation and stared up at Mippin. Mippin winked and soon the operation was commenced.

They marched out and faced the elves, who apparently had done planning of their own after seeing "The new and improved Arwen Movie" directed, edited, filmed etc. by Mistress Mippin, and starring Arwen. As soon as they came out they were blasted by a swarm of popcorn. "SHIELDS!!!" Mippin screamed out, and they took out the boxes of candy, to use as shields. Mip peeps out from her shield and saw the elves trying to access the butter. She chuckled and made out the word "butter" , then she had Pippin, who was clad in his armour now, as Mippin showed and held the door to Pippin whilst he geared up, move out and scream "Hey you! Over here! Over here!" Merry looked a bit oddly at Mip, probably wondering whether he was the one who was supposed to say that in the first place. She then had Frodo and Sam hoist up one cannon, and Amarië and Merry hoist the other.

As Pippin ran with all his little furry hobbit strength, he managed to dodge most of the attacks, and for the most part make is safely back and take Amarië's place in helping Merry with the cannon. "What's in those things anyway?" asked Amarië.

"Nothing short of Sprite." replied Mippin as she noticed that Amarië was just as sticky as she was.

As the elves had to resort to just popcorn and soda, Mippin worried not. After all, she was already covered in Dr. Pepper, a little Mountain Dew wouldn't hurt her. She walked out in the middle of the war zone, and right up to Firi, Arwen, and Legolas. She tilted her head a little and squinted, then tilted her head the other way. "Interesting." she whispered, as she whipped out a magnifying glass, and inspected the elves. "tsk, tsk." she said as she circled them. She continued saying things like "Hmm, elves." and "nancing little elves..." she began to circle them faster, and faster, as they watched bewildered. Soon she was running around them at full speed, not giving them a chance to move out of the way.

As she ran and ran and ran, her feetses ached but she pressed on, forcing herself to run even faster, she noted the look on the elves faces of sheer confuzzlement, and she called out "Hail, hail!"

She repeated the same pattern for a few minutes and at last she came to a sudden stop. (Thank eru she was uber-sticky, or else she would have fallen over.) She stopped right in front of Firi and screamed "HAIL!!!!" at the top of her lungs. Then she smiled sheepishly and stepped aside.

The elves followed her path, not even noticing that as soon as she had stepped aside, Amarië gave word and the cannons were set off. Mippin ran once more as fast as she could, back to her barricade. She paused a moment to see Firi and the elves, covered from head to toe in syrup. Arwen was covered in a clear syrup, and Legolas in a dark one. Firi, who was in the middle, was covered in both syrups. She grabbed the tap of soda and aimed for Amarië and Mippin, who in a few seconds were covered in carbonated water.

Mippin, now not so sticky, signaled for them to go back to the hidden passage, and as she followed nonchalantly, she looked over at the elves and winked. Then snapped out a camera.
"Looks like you forgot the key ingrediant." she smirked and followed suit.

She watched as the other's laughed their hobbit hairs off, but she knew the elves would think of something soon enough, something clever. She began to plot on her own, waiting to the laugh fest to be over, and ushering them off to a different place as not to be easily found.

[Arwen]

"This calls for extreme mesures!!!" cried Arwen

"Call the Coke company and order every bottle in the place!"

Then she caught sight of the 'New Improved Arwen" Movie!!!

"NOOOOOOO! That wasn't fair!!!!!!!!!"

She grabbed a camera.

"Just wait till they see, "The Hobbits Big Movie" poster! Then They'll be sorry!"

[Firondoiel]

Firi stood covered in syrup. "ALAS THAT THESE e-vile DAYS SHOULD BE MINE!" she shrieked. "DOWN TO THE DEPTHS WITH HE WHO THOUGHT OF HOBBITS!!!!"

"That would be Tolkien!" gasped Arwen.

Firi froze. "Oh yeah, good point. Never mind about that last comment then. Now for the plan of revenge that is so e-vile I cannot speak it aloud."

The three Elves hosed themselves off. Firi noticed that the heat from the popcorn machine and melted the stack of chocolate bars that had been sitting next to it. She pointed this out to Arwen then they huddled together and whispered for a moment or two before turning with such e-vileness in their eyes that would have made Sauron turn tail and run.

Legolas wisely stepped out of the Elves way as they gathered up empty popcorn containers and dumped the melted chocolate into them.

"Now for something extra special." said Firi.

"Oh the e-vileness of it!" exclaims Arwen as they finished up the extra specialness.

The Elfmaidens left Legolas in charge of the fort (aka as the concession stand) and with Elvish stealth made their way unnoticed to the back wall of the theatre. They looked up and saw a ledge running along the wall near the ceiling. "Perfect!" squealed Arwen. Then the She-Elves climbed their way to the top finding footholds that only Elves could. When they finally reached the ledge the began crawling along it with their popcorn containers.

At last they were staring down at the unsuspecting Hobbits. "Yoohoo!" called Arwen. The startled hobbits looked up as the Elves tipped the containers upside down and lo! Out poured melted chocolate mixed with gooey ice cream and of course topped with popcorn.

The hobbits were now covered in a mixture much worse than syrup. The Elves quickly raced back to the fort where Legolas was howling with laughter. Arwen and Firi joined him for a minute but knowing that a response to their attack would come soon Firi quickly began to establish their defenses.
