hobbitofkobolI watched a terrible movie starring Scott Porter (and Alexis Bledel, it's called "The Good Guy"). I thought it was gonna be an average romcom to distract me and noooo it was awful. So after that I needed to erase it from my brain so I decided to watch a bit of FNL and now I've started a rewatch I think (my 1st rewatch of the show). I watched the 2 first episodes and I remembered how I didn't love them because of all the religious stuff. But now that I've seen all the show and am attached to the characters it was ok. And I got more emotional this 2nd time around lol, especially the 2 scenes Coach Taylor has with his QBs in the 2nd episode. Which reminds me... this skit's awesome, The Friday Night Lights Crying Method. I'm gonna miss this show so much when it's gone. :(
My mom had asked my sister-in-law to buy garlic for her (in a farm near her vacation spot or sth) and she joked that it would make vampires go away. So I told her there was no need as you just need not to invite them in. This is where the garlic is now lol.
Jed Whedon's album is awesome.
I've finished season 1 of The Good Wife. Excellent show.
I might have read too many Deathly Hallows movie spoilers. Oh well.
I've seen one of the remaining episodes of Better Off Ted. Still very sad this show's canceled. :( I can't remember where I saw this but someone somewhere said they'd like Phil and Lem to be Rachel's dads on Glee and now I want it to happen!

themiddleearth because that's the only type of creative writing challenge I do: silly crossovers. It's no beta-ed so it's probably full of English mistakes and all (especially in descriptions, I only enjoy writing dialogue) but it's not like I wanna do anything with it. I'm also pretty new to the Warehouse 13 fandom so I'm not sure I got the characters voices right but hey, this got me 51 pts for my team. But I like to keep everything I do archived somewhere.

Summary: A mysterious artifact causes strange incidents in LA.
“Another artifact that makes people invisible? Is there an invisible artifact factory that I’m unaware of?”
“Oh, oh, oh! Maybe the factory is invisible too!”
“Stop it, you two! I’m trying to concentrate.”
Myka gave an exasperated look at Pete and Claudia. All three of them were standing behind Artie who was sitting at his workstation, typing quickly on his keyboard. Eventually he seemed to have found what he was looking for. He hesitated, closed his eyes while muttering what sounded like a prayer and hit a final key. They all leaned towards the screen to watch the video that had started playing. It was a news report about a series of peculiar burglaries in Los Angeles, all involving rare comic book issues or movie props. In all cases, the perpetrator had acted in broad daylight but couldn’t been seen in any surveillance footage.
“Is it the Jojo Mamuna again?” asked Pete. “Didn’t we deal with this already?”
“It was the Honjo Msamune,” rectified Myka. “And it can’t be, otherwise Artie wouldn’t have this terrified look on his face.” They all stared at him.
“I don’t look terrified! And there’s no reason for me to be terrified. More than usual. Not yet anyway.”
“But you do know what the artifact is,” stated Myka.
“Well… I have my suspicions.”
“Is it, like, The One Ring?” Claudia giggled. “One Ring to rule them all…”
“One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all…” continued Pete.
“And in the darkness bind them,” finished Myka. The other two looked at her incredulously. “What? I grew up in a library. You know Pete? A real one with real books? With no pictures?”
Noticing Artie’s silence, Claudia stopped laughing and looked at him. “OH MY GOD it’s true, isn’t it? It is The One Ring?”
“Wait…” said Pete. “This is a real story? Do Hobbits exist too?”
“I think The Ring is the artifact in question yes but no, Hobbits do not exist. J.R.R. Tolkien wrote a fictional story using a couple of things borrowed from reality. I guess work at Storehouse Oxford could be a bit boring at times.”
Artie spent the next hour explaining what he knew about The One Ring to his colleagues. That Tolkien was working at the British equivalent of the American Warehouses because of his knowledge in linguistics, legends and overall intelligence. That The Ring was a powerful artifact, rumoured to be the oldest artifact ever made. No one knew where it came from and who was its maker, but its appearances in history were always tied to the darkest times. Only kings and emperors and later on secret services knew about it.
“It ensnares its bearer and leads them to do terrible things. It gives power to anyone who uses it but is also the source of their downfall. And then it disappears again. Sometimes for centuries. So this is our chance. Peter and Myka, you need to leave for L.A. at once. I’ll send you information as I gather it.”
“What about me?” asked Claudia.
“No no no no no, you’re staying here. This is too dangerous.”
“Yeah, and the missions are usually a walk in the park.”
“I’m not kidding, Claudia. This one’s really bad. And I’m gonna need your help with research.”
Pete and Myka were already ready to go, gathering a few last things.
“Pete,” called Artie.
“What?”
“Absolutely no touching. Do not touch The Ring, no matter how much you want to.”
“Okay.”
“Promise me.”
“I promise, alright? I can control myself.” The purple goo container under his arm, Pete walked out the door, muttering something about not being a five-year-old. Myka waved goodbye at Claudia and went to follow him.
“Myka.” She turned her head back to Artie. “Watch him, ok?”
She nodded, and then she was gone.
***
While Pete and Myka were on their flight to L.A., Artie and Claudia were able to gather more information about the incidents and The Ring itself.
“What doesn’t make sense to me is how The Ring is being used. Why comic books and movie props? Are they artifacts too? What’s the link with The Ring?” Artie sounded frustrated.
It was as if a light bulb had suddenly appeared over Claudia’s head. “Of course!” She exclaimed. “I know what happened.”
“You do?”
Claudia hurried to call the agents on her Farnsworth.
“Oh, Claudia,” said Myka. “Found anything? We’ve just arrived at LAX.”
“I think The Ring was probably sold to a fan as a replica or even a real prop from the Lord of the Rings movies. This explains the stolen items, the… Ringbearer is probably your standard geek. Myka, I know what his next target is. You need to go to San Diego ASAP.”
“San Diego? Why?”
“Comic Con,” said Claudia and Pete at the same time.
***
“So, what’s the plan?” asked Pete.
“The suspect can’t be wearing The Ring at all times in a crowd like this. He’d constantly bump into people.”
“So you’re saying we should look for someone wearing a ring around their neck?”
“Yeah,” answered Myka. “That should be easy enough.”
“Really?” said Peter, pointing at the three Frodos in the crowd in line for a panel.
“Okay, you got a better idea?”
“Glad you asked. I know exactly where we should go first.”
***
“What is this?” asked Myka.
“Believe me, given this guy’s interests, he’s gonna visit this hall and bring a few souvenirs back with him.”
“Are these movie props?” she said, looking at a piece of the exhibit. “A message in a bottle, is this from that movie with Tom Hanks?”
“Noooooo!” scoffed Pete at her. “Don’t you own a TV?”
“Wait, Pete, look at that guy behind you. 2 o’clock. Tall, gangly guy wearing a green shirt with some some of weird symbol on it.”
Peter discreetly looked over his shoulder. “That’s a Green Lantern shirt, for your information.” He whispered back.
“He glanced at the security cameras and now he’s looking intensely at… is that a Virgin Mary statue?”
“Okay, I’m going to pretend that I’m a fellow fan interested in the exhibit and you-“
“Pretend?”
“-you wait for my signal.”
Pete moved around the exhibit, excessively frowning to show his interest in a few objects. He finally reached the Virgin Mary statue. “Hi,” he casually said to the suspect. “Nice exhibit, uh? I liked the flowery dress.” The tall guy grew a bit nervous and started to tug on his ring chain. “Excuse me,” he said, walking away really fast.
Pete nodded to Myka who went to stand in the suspect’s way. He turned left, starting to run. Myka was faster than him and easily tackled him. As he went to put The Ring on his finger, she ripped it out of his hands, breaking the chain. It fell on the ground, The Ring in the palm of her hand. For a split second, she had the vision of a red eye. It was rimmed with fire, watching her, and its pupil opened on a window into nothing. Shaken, she didn’t notice that her suspect had run away, and Pete after him. She opened her hand and examined The Ring again. She thought she heard it talking to her, saying her name. This was ridiculous of course, objects can’t talk. Her finger caressed the edge of the artifact. She saw herself full of power, protecting her father. Bringing Sam back to life.
Pete was back, out of breath. “Man, geeks are fast these days. But at least you got the artifact, right? Myka?”
Without a look at her partner, she put The Ring on her finger, and she was gone.
My mom had asked my sister-in-law to buy garlic for her (in a farm near her vacation spot or sth) and she joked that it would make vampires go away. So I told her there was no need as you just need not to invite them in. This is where the garlic is now lol.
