Toretha, it's a nice thought, but beads are a nuisance when you're crawling around in the woods. They might make noise when you're hiding, clicking together and all that.

And, they shine, and all that, could give away your position.

So, let's just get them some more functional clothes made up. Although, if you're really in a creative mood, we can make them some formal outfits. I mean, you can't wear drab greens, browns, and greys to a wenches feast that includes dancing, now can you?

So, Those of you that want to sew something spectacular, go ahead. I'll continue scrubbing and mending the clothes that are salvageable. But we need to hurry - I saw a couple of Dunedain upstairs that are looking rather forlorn just wearing white cotton shirts and shorts. They'd really like their regular clothes back soon.

::shameless bump::

Great links, Kama!

And Toretha, how about a compromise? For every two sets of practical clothes we make, you can make one festive set.

Ooo...Kama, that gives me an idea! I'm going to make goblets for my hobbit-party in 2004. (And if I start now, I might actually have a bunch done by then.)

1 brand new, top of the line DVD player
*thinks to self about how many rangers will be here next week*
60 bags of popcorn
30 2-Liters of Coke/Pepsi (Its not my place to judge you pepsi lovers )
Make arrangements in advance with Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, Dominoes and Little Caesars
Surround Sound System
Can a couple of you wizards conjour up some more sofa's?

Ok, once those are set, this time next Tuesday we will be having some fun. Are your ranger friends going to join us?

Yes, T, the rangers will be here.

::reads over list and decides that the basement is sounding more and more fun::

One question: Are we (the Wenches) allowed down there?

It's our tavern, we're allowed anywhere we wish to go.

Next Tuesday might indeed be a good basement day, the big screen will come in handy.

If the rangers are going to be down here there are not enough popcorn kernals that will stop you from being with them.

Well I just can't sew worth a darn! (If I knew more about sewing I would know whether or not that's a pun, too. I think it is...)

::throws up hands in frustration:: All the clothes I made for the Rangers just fall right off! Oh, look, there goes another pair of trousers, must go!

Tuesday we'll be watching ESPN Classic and the Juggies are coming over for a visit. Sorry but the basement is strictly off-limits.

Silly dames.

Olivetta wanders in from the common room, having just gotten an eyefull of Numenorian rangers in various stages of dishabille.

"They need some help in there."

*Sits down shakily*

"I've taken a bit of a fright. I don't dare go near them with a needle and thread,"

*holds out hands to show their unsteadiness*

"I think I shall serve supper in the Hobbit common room this evening."

*Begins preparing supper*

"Oh, and LadyDay-- the Rangers seem to , ah, SUSPECT something."

::sits back and watches everyone running helter-skelter::

Hmmm...

I think we should have a big party on Sunday. Why? Because we're the Hatrack wenches and deserve parties.

If anyone's interested, I'll get to work in the kitchen on the food. ::is planning something special:: If you're not, come along anyway. It's my 16th birthday on Monday and I feel like doing something nice for you guys in celebration.

There. I think those Rangers are once again properly clad.

Pity, isn't it? But it was fun!

Anyway, what's this I hear about a party? What can I do to help?

Do you know what this means?

Food, decorating, new outfits, lining up entertainment...wow, we have a lot to do!

*Strange thundering of hooves in the distance*

Hmmm.... Oh! Shadowfax! Thank you, dearling.

Ladies! It seems that the Riders of Rohan are but a few days' ride away and will be joining us for our party. Honorary Wenches - make sure the stables are in good shape. Lay in the best oats, hay, carrots, and mash. Those of us who can ride might be invited along on hunts or races or horseback picnics!

Come right on in, Shadowfax. You are welcome to some of this fresh spring water and some sugar cubes.

*pats Shadowfax and braids his mane for him*

PIXIE! You're not SUPPOSED to look!

*firmly escorts Pixie outside to wait*

You can have a ranger or elf or whatever you like to keep you company, but stay OUTSIDE or IN YOUR ROOM. No looking!
