[Although Gabriel’s been aware of the network since november and posting on it since the new year, he's been weary of showing his face to those that he doesn't know off it up to now. Sometimes a little bit of anonymity is needed, but unfortunately it seems he no longer has a choice.
Some people might recognise him as the c list celebrity always shoving his charities in people’s faces, others might recognise him from the university, and a few might recognise from the peak of his modelling days. Those who do will notice that he doesn’t look as old as he did (or for those who recognise him from when he was younger that he looks much younger than he should). Assuming that most people won’t know it, though, he opens his post by explaining his problem with a wry smile.]
I appear to be growing young again and it’s a problem. [He’s aware that most people would be pretty happy with the cards he’s been dealt but when there’s recent photographic evidence of how old you looked last month and you’re trying to stay under cover it’s a pain in the arse.] I think this has gone beyond the point where I can claim I’ve had surgery now, especially with these. [He tucks his hair behind his ears, revealing that like his friends', his are now also elongated into elegant points.] As long as I stop before I become a teenager again! Dealing with that once was bad enough. [He laughs. It’s a serious problem, but that doesn’t mean that he has to deal with it seriously.]
I had been hoping to stay in work a while longer, but it’s not going to be possible to work and stay under cover like this. I have the choice of revealing myself and doing what I can to direct the media to paint us with a more positive light or retiring. And I'm not sure that I'm ready to retire! But talking about this openly - or as openly as is safe - affects more than just me, which is why I wanted to ask if anyone had any objections.
I was also wondering, for those of you who also have echoes that mean that you can’t be out and about, what do you do to keep yourself busy and amused?
[Private to the known Tolkiens and Julien]
[He's come prepared! Once he has all of their numbers put in and a private line set up, he holds up a piece of paper with twelve crests on, each named underneath. One of them is recognisable as the crest on Thorir's sword, labeled as 'Fountain'.]
I remembered these. Does anyone else recognise them?

[Eliot is quiet as he peers at each one, frowning thoughtfully.] One of the crests, it seems familiar.
Video; filter
You too? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Unfortunately I can't hide them if I'm being made up for a photo shoot. I think my hair does it well enough out and about.

[Pulls off his own headband, revealing the pointy ears.] It's still awkward but easier to answer questions about my strange new sense of fashion than pointy ears.

Maybe you need a hat instead. [Cheekily.] One of those awful knitted ones you can stuff your hair into.

What's more impressive is that everyone seems to have been at least bilingual.

What we really need is someone in the numbers club who was already a journalist. Or involved in TV, I suppose, but I know more about the print press than anything to do with the telly.
[Woops still voice]
Permavideo on this end if that helps!

...I want to play with those.
[Private]
Huh. I don't think Aaron showed me any of those... Do you know - oh, hang on, I should see if I can draw it. He had this white tree-and-stars sign. Not like that tree.
[A sigh that he can't quite suppress.]
Video | private
If you would try and draw it I'd appreciate it. I'm starting to think that Puck was born somewhere different to everyone else, aside from Eliot's past self, perhaps, so he might not have known.
no subject
[He can't actually think of much. But he does want to poke at them and bend, just a little.]
Puck... that's cute.
He - Aaron never said what it was, but it was important to Aragorn. We had plans about a simpler version... I went and had a patch made and stuck it to one of my jackets. [He did. This pic has it partly visible.]

...Is this really your first time officially on the network?

I was weary about showing my face at first as well.
