A DECISION MADE

The bite of the rum hit the back of his throat and he sighed in relief. No fancy blue drinks for him - straight Caribbean rum on ice was his current drink of choice. He supposed it would change when he moved to a new location, but he had enjoyed the years spent in Puerto Rico.

He glanced over the familiar walls of the old tavern. Situated above the harbor, it had become his go-to venue after taking a charter of tourists out to see the humpback whale migration, which was nearing its end for the year. He thought it was time to move on, find another place and make another identity. He had enjoyed his time on the island.

Finishing his drink with a satisfied breath, he stood up. He felt like playing music, and his place of choice was the old cemetery, Santa Maria Magdelena de Pazzis, near the coast. The ocean's constant rhythmic rasp against the sands of the coast, and the many old tombs and crypts covered the sound of his flute. He could play the elven tunes of his youth without fear of discovery. 'It's a plan,' Maglor thought, and he tossed coins onto the table and strode from the bar.

Donut: *perches on Maglor's boat* Whales FISH.

No Donut, whales aren't fish. :P

Donut: Whales Mine? *offers Maglor a few cheesefish to go with his drink*

...*wonders if Maglor would like goldfish crackers* Um...Ask Erulisse. :P

*Donut asks Erulisse if Maglor would share the whales with him*

Heh :)

I really like the idea of Maglor in Puerto Rico whale-watching! And of course no blue drinks for him!

Donut, although Maglor has tried goldfish in the past, he's more of a baby pretzels or Tostitos kind of a guy. If Donut wants to watch the whales, he also has to promise to protect them - these beautiful, fantastic denizens of the deep. Share, enjoy and protect.

Donut: *promises to protect all the whales all the time* Whales MINE friends. *shares cheesefish with all, and acquires the pretzel kind for Maglor*

This is great! I love modern Mags. Would love to see this for real.

I have worked with Maglor throughout history for years now, and really enjoy our wandering musician. I'm delighted that you enjoyed his short stay on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico.

I like to think that Mags finally said f*** it and decided to just go with it and enjoy life. I could certainly handle being a skipper of a whale watching boat in the Caribbean!

What a lonely life. I'd love to whale-watch with an elf!

There was a lot of heartbreak and pockets of true happiness in the long experiences of Maglor, but I think his looking at the great whales was one of the high points. Who could look at those beautiful creatures of the great oceans and not be moved.
