 |
|
So, there I was the other day, pondering on the serious matters of life (a.k.a. daydreaming during one of my lectures ^_^) when sudddenly it hit me! What would it be like if several public services were actually manned by Elves! (he he, that sounds strange!!!)
Anyway, my tricky little mind was soon reeling with the possibilities! I of course, being the predictable little beever that I am, got started with the obvious...
...Elves in uniform! aaaai....
I mean, imagine being pulled off the road by a Sylvan Elf, making his way to your car walking like a feline, leaning over your window asking for a driver's licence for a routine check on a hot summer day... Well, you can imagine the rest on your own! 
Then again, my twisted mind had to replace that image with another of Legolas standing in front of his bathroom mirror, checking out his pose while saying stuff like
"I'm your worst nightmare... An elf with a badge!"
and
"Make my day!"
and all serious thoughts were thrown out the window while I was silently snorting in a very quiet amphitheatre!
Still, you have to admit, the possibility is there! And, so, I just couldn't resist and had to post about it! What would your elves look like? I'm sure we can get pretty imaginative here! (IRS, banks, the lot!!!)
PS: I also realised this could make an excellent idea for a new drabble challenge! *more grins* |

"Elrond Half-elven, son of Earendil and Lord of Imladris has won both the Nobel Peace again, this year for solving the dispute between Palestine and Israel. Last year he received the prize for stabilizing war-torn Africa. In the year before, he won the Nobel Prize for Medicine by single-handedly curing AIDS."
"After routing out all vestiges of corruption in the Catholic Church, Gandalf the Grey has taken the mantle of Pope and is now known as Gandalf the White. Saruman, the former Pope, could not be reached for comment."
"The NBA has approved the addition of a new basketball team to account for the appearance of several dozen Elves who wished to play the sport to represent their own homes. About a dozen Eldar have signed on to be players for this team, though negotiations are still being held on what to call the team. This is the second new team the NBA has approved. The first one being the Dunedain Chieftains."
"A spin-off of Xena: Warrior Princess has been approved. The show is currently shooting in New Zealand and will star Lady Galadriel. The first episode is slated to air this fall."
"The nation is gripped in controversy after Mandos Penitentiary has announced that the sons of Feanor have been released. When asked about the potential release of their sire, Feanor, the warden expressed his doubts that the famed Noldor is prepared to rejoin society." |

Beleg, Mablung, Haldir, Rumil and Orophin with the Nation Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management (USA). Their goal:
Checking up on camping without a permit or paying a fee...with bent bow and arrow fitted.
Writing citations for unauthorized camp fires and smoking in restricted areas, saving stranded rock-climbers, preventing willful harassment of wildlife...
Elves can be slain and can also die of world-weariness and grief...or boredom, in this case.
No wonder Beleg and Mablung were just looking for an excuse to get involved in a battle...

Saeros also ran a chain of unlicensed beauty and hair salons.

I heard the attacks of Saeros' drinking-vessels phobia increased recently. Apparently Maeglin agreed to be his therapist.

Saeros was made to see that taunting short-tempered mortals could cause fits of rage and retaliation. Nasty remarks can be replaced with conflict resolution with solutions for to make everyone happy.
Instead of throwing a golden comb at Turin, Saeros could have offered to comb Turin's hair said, "All that time in the woods has a bad effect on your grooming. Your hair could use a good combing. Let me comb it for you so you will look more presentable at the king's table."
This in turn would teach Turin some diplomatic skills. Rather than slaying Glaurung with Anglachel, Turin would persuade the beast to "leave and never come back."

Eru, you made my day!!!
In the meantime Beleg and Mablung returned to their headquaters dragging Rumil with them. He was to be punished (tons of paper work ) for objecting Haldir's order and joining a hippy commune. Poor young warden had been so bored and he had smoked too much marihuana.
