((Okay, if everyone could post how they wake up and go to the council, we'll get the ball rolling a bit more...))

Lili awoke to the sunshine in her face. Or at least, it looked like the sun. But then, Rivendell radiated so much light on its own, she couldn't tell if it was the sunlight or if it was the light of the elves. Still, she sat up and looked around the room she'd been given. It was the most gorgeous design she'd ever seen! And the canopy bed was beyond compare!

Lili climbed from the bed. She stretched and took in a deep breath. She didn't have a ahir brush, so she used her fingers to comb her hair. To her surprise, her hair was softer than it had ever been. She couldn't believe it. I see I still have a lot to learn.

Lili walked from the room. There seemed to be a lot of hustle and bustle going on. Lili's curiosity got the best of her and she followed an elf to where a cicrcle of chairs sat. Some were taken, some were open. Lili took a seat, hoping she wouldn't be asked to leave. A few moments later, Boromir took a seat as well. Although Lili hadn't seen him, she knew he was there.

(('kie-dokie))

Martini had never experience as deep of a sleep as she had that night. She half fancied the bed enchanted. The nightgown the Elves gave her was so silky and soft, something no girl could resist. It made her feel like a princess, especially with her new long hair floating down her back. The sheets were luxuriously soft and warm- her mother, had she been there, would have rambled on about something called "thread count". And the second Martini's cheek touched her pillow, she willingly let herself slip into slumber.

The next morning she yawned and stretched, amazed because she never even felt herself fall asleep. It was morning, not too early,but nowhere near noon, which was a miracle in itself. She could hear people milling around outside her window. She might have jsut stayed in her room after the rebuff of last night, but not while she still had legs that worked would anyone do anything important without Martini Smith being right in the middle!

Hurrying to get dressed, Martini ran down the hall but stopped at an entry way where two little children were crouched. "What are you doing?" She asked.

"Ssshhhhhhhhhh!!!" They both hissed at her, turning around to see who had caught them. Why, they weren't children at all! They were little people, but they were grown-up, she could see that in their faces. "There's a meeting here today and we're not gonig to miss out."

Leah sighed as she awoke, and layed comfortably still in her bed for a few minutes, before she realized where she was, and what day it was. As soon as she did, she sprang out of bed. "I'm in Rivendell, and the Council of Elrond is today!" she exclaimed to the empty room as she hurried to change into her dress. Once she was changed, she dashed through the halls, looking for the council chamber, and trying not to crash into any elves. In her haste, she almost passed the room, but luckily her attention was drawn to it by the group of elves that were entering. She stopped immediatly, and stared into the chamber, wondering if she could go in. She saw that Lilli was already there, but then again Lilli was an elf, so she didn't stand out much at all. After a moment, Leah decided to go in, and quickly stepped in behind the group of elves. She found a seat far back in the most hidden spot she could find, and sat quietly in it, observing everyone who entered with a growing excitement.

Kim yawned, and sat up when she awoke, wondering where she was for a moment. When the events of the previous day flooded her mind, she quickly felt her chin, hoping that at least the transformation had been a dream, or that she had changed back during the night. The beard was still there, long as ever, and the realization made her groan. Why me? Now all the hot guys that are in this movie won't even look at me... Pulling the covers back, she stepped out of bed, oblivious to the beautiful room around her. She dressed quickly, thankful that there wasn't a mirror to be seen, and left the room, looking for one of her companions. Hopefully not Martini... As she wandered the halls of Rivendell, she was startled to see a group of dwarves walking a little ways ahead of her. She quickly sped up, curious about the people who were born of the race that she had changed into. She caught up to the group just as they were going through a doorway that led to a place with a circle of chairs in the center. Uncomfortably, she sat next to the dwarves, glancing at them from the corner of her eye.

Night had fallen in the garden, so Visorin stood up from his nice little white bench and walked over to the dormitaries (sp?). Opening the door to the main building, he walked down the hallway silently, opening each door slightly enough so that he could see if the room was taken or not.
Mostly, he had no luck because it was about midnight. It seemed as if his room was at the backest back of the whole building. As he walked down the corridor, Visorin came across an empty room. Hoping it was no one's, Visorin padded in silently and tested the bed. It was wonderful- to wonderful for Visorin's liking. Quickly debating whether he should sleep on the floor or the bed, Visorin started up a rhyme.
"Ini mini monie moe, catch a tiger by the toe. Let it go if it hollers, ini mini monie mOE! " Visorin chanted twice, moving his finger when it pointed at the bed. Ah, what the heck. he thought as he lay down on the floor. Soon, he was in deep slumber, using his cloak as a pillow and his cape as the blanket.

Morning birds sand their morning song. Sun filtered in the room, rousing Visorin out of his sleep. The sun was going in his eyes, making Visorin blink several times. Rolling over to the left, his rib's hit something hard. Oi! Visorin thought, alarmed. Jumping up and letting his mouth silk dangling off of his belt, he reached out for the closest thing, which was an arrow. Taking one out of its quiver, Visorin stood, ready. Looking around sharply, he noticed that there was nothing in the room, save himself. Chuckling, Visorin put the arrow back in its quiver and slung it over his shoulder, along with his cloak. He wrapped it up in a tight square. Fastening the two buttons around his neck, the cape was now attached to him. He took his sheathed sword and connected it to his belt.Taking his bow in hand, Visorin put his folded up cape under his armpit. He walked over to the door and opened it. Not knowing what to do, something nagged at him at the backest part of his brain.
Getting the signal, Visorin racked his brain for what happened today, after the dining. All he could remember was a ripped page, along with a few of the words left behind. There was a council meeting today! Visorin thought as he jogged down to the room where it would be held.
Shortly after his jog, Visorin came across to young people, crouching behind a door. But, besides them was Martini. "'Morning. " Visorin said, nodding.
"Ssshh! " the two people silenced him, their voices low. "Ok.. " Visorin murmered, side-stepping them. "If you don't mind, i'll go in. " he added, opening the door and walking in, closing it behind him.
He took a seat, and just waited.

Crystal slowly blinked herself awake as the rays of dawn split the sky. She yawned, taking in the room. Panic seized her for a moment; the room was unfamiliar and she wondered if she had been kidnapped or something. She laughed when she remembered exactly where she was a minute later, then combed her hair and pulled it back into a single braid. After putting on her cloak, she walked across the hall to wake her brother.

Scott groaned as a sharp knock at his door aroused him. "Go away..." he muttered, but to no avail. Crystal came in anyway.
"C'mon, Scott. Time to greet the day," she said, using an expression their grandmother had used often. "And no fair flipping it off."
"Wake me up later."
"Can't. There's a council meeting today."
Scott was awake instantly. "Coming!" he said, putting on his cloak and raking his fingers through his hair as he and Crystal made their way to the Council meeting. They took their seats near Visorin, next to each other.

Visorin had his head in his hand, thinking about what would be happening. According to the movie, Gimli would attack to Ring but fail to destroy it. Heh.. he thought. After a few minutes, someone sat next to him. ((Assuming Crystal sat next to him.. )) Looking up, he saw that it was Crystal.
"Hi. " he greeted her, looking past her shoulder. He could see her brother, Scott, sit next to Crystal. He leaned back in his chair and drummed his fingers on the arm of it, making a pattern: Pinky, ring finger, middle finger, pointing finger. He left out his thumb because it was shorter than the rest of his fingers. For the first time, Visorin wondered if he had his black shirt and pants on. Visorin wouldn't know because his cloak and Ranger clothes were on him. Glancing down at his shirt, he saw that it was green. And, to Visorin's relief, it was long-sleeved. He took his left hand and ran it down his right sleeve, stopping the drumming and carefull not to press on his right arm.

Crystal smiled at Visorin, then returned her attention to the Council. "When's it gonna start?" she whispered to Scott.
"Dunno. I'm guessing it'll start any time now."
With that, they both began waiting rather impatiently.
