[ It took Teagan some time to decide whether or not to share this information, and he does so while he's working, from his tablet. Hence the lack of commitment. ]

If anyone knows the name Bilbo Baggins, I remember who he is. If this information can help anyone piece together their own memories, contact me privately.

As an aside, my dogs are still missing, and I would be grateful for any information on their whereabouts, should anyone spot one or two greyhounds in sweaters wandering around.

you know I know his name. what did you remember? other than the whole Hobbit thing, that part I know

text; private

[unelven]

I remember what he looked like. Very short, curly hair, hairy feet and properly dressed. He handed me something called the Arkenstone and I called him elf-friend. That's the entirety of the memory.

[youngestone]

Arkenstone?

also that sounds about right on what the guy looked like, as far as I remember. he's a Hobbit--shorter than Dwarves

[Texted]

[espigeonage]

I think I've said everything I know about him except for one of his poems! And you've seen this picture before but I'm sure it won't hurt to share with everyone.

How long has it been now?

[Texted]

[unelven]

Two weeks.

[espigeonage]

Huh. I'm not going to bother asking if you've tried the usual things. How well trained are they?

Animals understand Elvish. If they're familiar with people they seem to understand it better. I wonder if it would work to record commands and broadcast those here and there? Telling them to come to a certain place. idk if that could work on just them.

I found a runaway cat by calling for it in Elvish once but a lot of birds came to see.

Is that what Bilbo Baggins looks like?

[espigeonage]

I assume so. I don't have any memory of him myself. When Aaron drew this for me he did point out his feet are furry, those aren't slippers.

[lordofimladris]

I can't say I do. What manner of person was he?

Text; private

[unelven]

short. A Hobbit, whatever that is. Short, hairy and well put together.

Text; private

[lordofimladris]

Interesting. Who was he to you though, if you don't mind me asking?

text; private

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I've heard the name several times from my cousin as someone part of our shared past. You know who he is?

text; private

[unelven]

I hobbit, whatever that is, and an elf-friend.

[ Already getting impatient repeating himself to kids, this one. ]

I've got a song in my head with his name as part of the title. As for hobbits in general, I know that they lived in this place set in a Shire...lots of green rolling hills and houses dug inside of them. I sketched out a picture of that place if you want to see it.

[disdainfully]

What information do you mean by "Who he is"?

text; private

[unelven]

Nothing too in depth, it seems that I didn't know him well enough to come up with much but one memory. I know what he looked like, that he was honorable, and an elf-friend.

text; private

[disdainfully]

Yet he seems to have had the company of dwarves as well.

[And if his hunch is right, that would not be the most usual mix.]

What is his description?

[thebalrogslayer]

I know a song with a mister Baggins in. Given that it seems we all come from the same place I'd be surprised if it wasn't the same.

We really need to get together again sometime and compare notes on what we know.

I got a picture passed round of the dogs but I haven't heard anything yet. Sorry.

Text

[unelven]

I doubt there are that many people in any world named Bilbo Baggins, so I would think so.

And if we're going to get together to compare notes, I'd like to be made aware of it ahead of time first.

Text

[thebalrogslayer]

You mean this doesn't count as fair warning?

I'm joking. I promised I'd warn you next time, don't worry. I can pass things on if you'd rather, but I think it'd be much easier if we all got together.

[nevergivesup]

Damn. I'd think greyhounds in sweaters would be pretty easy to spot. Are they puppies or full grown or what?

text;

[unelven]

Hence why I'm so concerned. They're both full grown.

[nevergivesup]

I'm sure they'll turn up soon with that kind of description. I haven't seen or heard anything about them, but I'll definitely be keeping my eyes peeled.

Voice

[proudbraveandtall]

[Here's a new voice you haven't heard yet, Teagan, but yes, you just triggered some other knowledge in him. So, he'll share it, since it's unlikely they both know that unusual name and not come from the same life.]

He was a burglar, wasn't he?

Voice

[unelven]

[ There are plenty of voices he hasn't heard yet. That's the brilliance of living as part of the most widespread species on the planet. ]

I can't imagine I would associate with a burglar.
