It was bound to happen maties.....most of the members curerntly are memebers of the Plaza......therefore I think it's only right we should have a place to mix the two worlds. So...this is a ongoing story..... Now..as a warning, I will indeed shut this thread down completly if the rules in here aren't followed so pay close attention savvy? Rules for Thread: 1. ALL POSTS ARE TO BE AT LEAST FOUR SENTENCES LONG 2. ALL POSTS MUST BE IN CHARACTER POSTS...ALL OCC WILL BE DELETED WITH PENALTY 3. ABSOLUTLY NO CURSING OF ANY KIND. 4. RULES GOVERNERING COMMON CURTESY TO BE FOLLOWED 5. RESPECT OTHER POSTS 6. HAVE FUN Rules for Story Line: 1. It is expected you follow the basic plot of the LOTR story...so no odd detours of marching off to fairyland with pink turtles spitting balloons.....savvy? 2. If you're a plaza member you can add your name into the plot...but keep it to a minimum....this is just a testing thread right now..if it goes well....I'll expand it out a bit more..... 3. try and reamin inside a certain level of sanity. Granted this crossover will be funny....(think Jack Sparrow talking to someone like Aragorn).....but I don't want completly strange things... 4. If your post becomes something that would be at home in the Padded Ship area, then it will be removed and all posts concerning that will be modifed. 5. This is probably the most amount of rules you'll ever see me give out in one thread...but as it's only a test run I need everyone to be playing on the same field so to speak....savvy? 6. please have fun here....... Now I'll start it off.....and explain it.....here's the basic idea.... As Middle Earth is the larger area of the two I'm going that have the actual story take place in Middle Earth and all laws applying to the area are in effect. The characters of POTC are visiting.....savvy? This will start right after the hobbits arrive in Rivendell before the Council. And for all reasons here will be based on the movies! no the books.that'd be far to complicated....I want the POTC characters to go along with the LOTR characters on their journey......with some fun little plot twists.....savvy?
Jack, Will, Elizabeth, and Norry have landed in Rivendell and have encountered part of the Fellowship....Barbossa landed someplace in Mordor and is with Gollum..........Help us.......

Cara turned to face Jack once more, a sad sort of smile on her face. "He was my husband. Of three blissfully short years. When I was younger, oh about five hundred years ago I suppose. I had a habit of getting myself into trouble. Did so rather majorly when I was outside Gondor. Got an arrow landed in my leg. Jaye was a Ranger of the city. He rescued me. As I convalesced our relationship blossomed. He was killed by wargs defending a family outside of the city. I was a healer by this point in time. I was also the one who was brought to him and watched him die." She cleared her throat. But I'm sue you really didn't need to know all that." She smiles at him softly.

Duinorwen,meanwhile,had stayed where her friends left her for a short while,rolling her eyes at Cara's behaviour.Sometimes she just didn't understand her friend...but then,many people had trouble understanding her emotions.She sighed,watching the stars intently.
Perhaps someday...but right now,she supposed she just wasn't ready for love.Not in the sense that others felt it.
After a few minutes,she judged herself ready to rejoin the crowd of people in the Great Hall.She adjusted her long,auburn hair in the reflection from a candle-lit window,and glided to a spot in the corner where she could obseve the other attendees as she desired.
Particularly amusing were the Halflings,who seemed capable of eating their own weight several times over,and the human Norrington-or,rather,the effect his continued questions seemed to be having on Elrond's usually calm demeanor.
"Listen well to me,human," Elrond was saying,between clenched teeth,"If I knew how to send you home,rest assured that I would do so without a moment's hesitation..."

Jack's eyes widened greatly at the mention of a even taking place 500 years pior to the current date. he blinked once to show he waas shocked then nodded.
"Well lass, let me say you don't look your age......In fact I would have guessed you to be younger then me......" Jack cleared his throat. "But apparently....as I am in most things in this place it would seem.....I'm wrong...." He shifted a bit, taking in that story.
"I'm sorry about that." He said honestly, but he couldn't seem to do much else. He never was sure how to deal with death. He'd always pictured himself going down in a battle. Hopefully by a sword. He didn't want to die from a bullet. He frowned. Jaye...seemed like the kind of person Cara belonged with. Some noble hero type.

Cara smiled warmly at him suddenly and stepped a bit closer. "My age surprises you does it?" She laughed slightly pushing the self same stubburn lock of hair out of his face. "I suppose it would at that. Elves are imortal dear one." She blinked at herslef suddenly, wondering exactly what it was about him that caused this reaction in her. "You're a rouge, I won't deny that, but you have a good heart Jack Sparrow." She Carresed his cheek lightly and smiled yet again. "Shall we move onward? If you'd like I could show you the writers guild hall?"

Jack blinked a bit. Elves were immortal........well that explained a lot. he didn't move as she drew closer in fact he didn't seem to breathing much. He checked....nope....no air intake. That couldn't be a good thing. he inhaled sharply, and realized that while he was perfectly alright with invading people's space bubble, he didn't enjoy them reversing his habit on him.
he gave cara a laugh. "You're only the second person to say that about me..." He grinned. "You and Will....."He nodded at the suggestion to move on. "What do elves do for fun around here? If you have forever.........what can you do with that time?"

Cara took his arm yet again. He seemed somewhat nervous when she stepped closer. She smiled somewhat at the thought. "For fun?" She asks thinking. "We sing, we write, we make music, we love." She grins slightly. "Forever is a long time. And often we weary of this world before long. Some sail west to Valinor, others perish in their grief." They approached a large building and Cara withdrew a small key, opening the door. She stepped inside and lit a nearby wall sconce. The room was filled with many windows, and several low divans as well as many desks. "This is the writers guild. One of many things that take up my time in Imladris, when the Army allows for it that is. This is where many of Imladris' residents spend their off time. Those inclined to poetry that is. It may not seem like much but..." She trails off a slight flush on her cheeks...

Jack looked around, somewhat impressed. He was never one for poetry.....never having the time or interest in expressing himself with anything more then a sword of a pistol. as for writing......he only did so when he had to send a message. A feeling, not unlike the feeling most people get when stepping into a advanced class for the first time. The knowledge that everyone present is far smarter then you, washed over th pirate. He nodded once.
"A nice place......" he concluded. "I'd be more at home in your army...pirates don't write much........"
Back in the hall Norrington appeared to have for the time being given up on asking questions. Will had finally decided having a twin was fun. And he began talking a bit more normally. He seemed very interesting......this elf....thing. He still couldn't believe he was a blonde here.........

Cara smiled at him shaking her head slightly in amusement. She noticed Jack didn't seem entirely comfortable in the guild. "Come on then let us go back. I'm sure they've stopped seaking me by now and We have a very long journey to start tomorrow." She blew out the candles and led the way out of the hall, locking the door behind her, then leading the way back. "What will you do if you cannot find a way back to your own world?" She asked suddenly after they walked for several moments in silence.
Menawhile Arwen and Elizabeth had settled in the hall of fire listening to the songs being sung. The two had their heads locked together deep in conversation

Jack frowned and put on a completly serious face. "I imagine I'd shoot myself...." He said plainly. At Cara's sharp look he laughed. "Well.......me...without a sea......" he stopped a minute trying to find the words.
"You say elves....once you see the ocean it's a longing that never leaves? Well.....I was born to live in the sea.....without it I'll die anyway......" He wasn't realy joking about it either. For once he was being honest. "The sea is my life.....like this place would be youe home......only I have no horizon set.........savvy?"

She nods slightly looking at him in all seriousness. "Savvy." She giggled. "I rather like that word actually, I must remember it.... Savvy..." They continued on their way. "I understand what you mean though. I greatly suspect that I shall never be allowed back here once we depart... I know not what I'll do once this excursion is comeplete... Most likely, if I am not killed during the course of it, I shall seek a mortal end in any event." She saw Jack eye her sharply, but made no indication that she had been kidding in any way.

"Ever consider being a pirate?" Jack asked her seriously. "You'd make a damn good look out......" He said in attempts to break up the tension. he walked along next to her silently until the sounds of the hall could be heard. Just outside the doors Jack stopped and waited.
"I'll sleep out here tonight........no need to be going inside......I like the air out here more anyway......"

Cara smiled suddenly. "A pirate eh? Wouldn't be half bad, I'd have the sea again in any event. Is that an offer? If so I think I'll take you up on it." The walked along untill the silence became nearly oppressive. At his mention of wishing to sleep outside she paused. "If you don't mind trees, you can sleep in one of the flets." She said. At his inquisitive look she laughed and led the way into a forrested thicket. She stopped beneath a large oak and climbed up the silver rope ladder that nearly blended into the trees trunk, hanging over the edge of the wodden platform she alighted on she waved for him to come up. "Come along then!" She said a broad smile plastered in her face, moving back onto the platform as he climbed his way up. Jack noticed a screen on one side, blocking the breeze somewhat. Her smile didn't fade as she indicated the sky. When Jack looked up he noticed the blackness was studded with thousands of tiny pinpricks of diamond light. If anything confirmed he was in a strange world it was the unfamiliar configuration of the stars. "Varda, lady of the stars has paited a lovely canvas this night. Cara said as she leaned back against the trees trunk, looking up through the leaves. "If you like I may leave you to sleep here?"

Jack gave Cara sort of half nod and leaned againest the tree trunk, looking rather at ease. The stars here....through diffrent made him feel........for lack of a better word secure.
Secure in knowing a universe, if it wasn't his own, was still going on...the sky wasn't caving in. He smiled just a bit.
"Yeah.....I'll sleep here tonight...." He gave Cara a grin. "Thanks."

She smiled back at him softly. "You're welcome Mellon, I will see you in the morning." With that she excused herself and left him to his ease. She took down her short hair and shook it out as she walked back to her lodging in the last homely house. This most likely would be the last she saw of Rivendell. She sighed somewhat sadly as she entered the halls, though she was still to restless as of yet for sleep to claim her. She made her way to the Hall of fire, hoping that listening to some song would ease her into restfullness. She entered the hal and took a seat near Duin silently.
