[This is a fun little thing. Melkor had been amusing himself with turning the phone on and off, turning it every which way and pressing buttons. He was told its function and maybe he can figure out what is going on beside the whole hero speech he had been given.

After being imprisoned for three ages, Melkor has been taken from his moment of victory and just a moment before obtaining what he wanted the most. It's a little frustrating.]

I have been informed that this...device is the means by which to seek out others. I seek one by the name of Manwë, if he is indeed present in this world-

[Melkor pauses as he looks out the window at the setting sun, eyes widening. He's not from a time when night and day are a thing so this is new for him.]

So the Trees have been devoured then and darkness will cover the world once more.

[At least it's not on fire this time, though not through lack of trying.]

The light is diminishing sooner than I thought it would, perhaps never to return.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Who's this Manwë to you, exactly?

voice;

[belegurth]

[Melkor thinks about this for a moment. If the Valar don't rule here then they can't interfere. No better way to test this than-]

He is my brother, an evil lord who caused the destruction of the light. I am trying to stop him but he is too powerful.

[ don't look confused, don't look confused, don't look confused, don't oh well damn, it's failing. ]

We do have trees, you know.

The Trees that contain the light of the world? I have not known their kind anywhere else.

I think you missed a couple paragraphs in there somewhere.

[seriously, how do you go from looking for someone to...whatever the hell that last statement was.]

[It's a long story, it makes sense for Melkor.]

And what would you like to know? If you are not aware of the Valar and their corruption, you would not understand.

You, uh, wanna run that by us again? [She's more than used to weird magic stuff, but she's not really following this. Plus she just got out of bed.]

audio;

[belegurth]

The world is becoming dark once more, the light has been devoured.

[And it may be his fault but no one needs to know that.]

[after going over a few replies...]

That's the sunset. Rotation of the Earth. It'll come right back in about twelve hours.

voice;

[belegurth]

The light vanishes only to reappear?

[Your hours and days really don't mean much to him but he finds it fascinating, what with the Sun and the Moon. He is a bit lost by the rotation part.]

Why whose power is this done?

[ Oh wow, he recognizes that voice. Should he say something? Heck, why not - the guy was decent enough for a police guy. ]

so you help people out on the internet too huh

we don't eat trees, dude

The being who will consume the Tree is a dark spirit, one I will not name here.

[He's totally not scared of Ungoliant, really]

["this.... device"-- Shinjiro's learned a (hopefully) surefire way to ID people from places where technology isn't quite a thing yet. So there's a bit of a smirk as he responds to the post.]

I ain't run into any Manwes. [He pronounces it horribly. For the record.]

That last line- you working on a poem or something?

video;

[belegurth]

[And Melkor is perfectly fine with that. If anything, he'll remember it for later if his brother should show up.]

That is fortunate news indeed.

The world grows dark, it is no poem but the truth. Evil has been unleashed.

I don't think the darkness will last much beyond eight tomorrow morning, if you're ... concerned.

[He's staring at her for a moment, not quite believing.]

The light departs and then returns?

[This Sun thing is messing with him.]

[ Well that's off the wall. ]

Maybe your Trees can control the light, but our sun is just going over the other side of the world for a while. You'll see it again.

Voice

[belegurth]

[This is only the beginning.]

Such a strange thing, to deprive your world of light in such a manner.

[ahappyending]

Once every twelve hours or so, yes.

[belegurth]

Why would the light depart for that time?

[This is really strange for him, alright.]

voice;

[girlwithout]

I, uh. I'm pretty sure the trees are fine.

[SO CONFUSED]

voice;

[belegurth]

They will not remain so, the dark spirit will devour their light completely.

[ ID: AGENT VENOM. You don't give what looks like potential crazy your real name. ]

Is that like...some kind of riddle?

voice;

[belegurth]

[A wise decision considering from what Melkor has learned of the Sun- he wants it.]

A riddle? No, it is no riddle.

Artificial lights and light pollution makes it impossible.

[belegurth]

The Sun is an artificial light then? What being has placed it in the sky?
