Narrative telephone - Mica’s Story So this was a story I was saving to tell Mr Caleb the next time I saw him, because I know he loves books and stuff. But I think you all might like it too. All the Elves in Uthodorn know this one, so, okay here we go. There was once a beautiful Elven princess named Elenathrial (sp?) that lived in Arvandor in Faerune (sp?), and she on a rare outing away from her kingdom fell for a human sailor named William Tanner. The seafaring man was struck by her beauty the moment he saw her and offered her a beautiful conch shell in exchange for just a moment of her time. After spending all her afternoon with her newfound love she returned to her father, King Malendor, excited to share her happiness with him. “I met someone father” she exclaimed. “Al honda breath ultichantar and taflalala o’hallo brath”(I don’t speak elven, if anyone does I’ll happily correct this :D) the king raised an eyebrow at her in disgust as she expressed such a deep connection with this man she just met in their native tongue no less. “You think I would allow such a courtship” he questioned angrily. And now, you see, it wasn’t because the man was a human and she an elf, no, no, no. The king wouldn’t dare allow his daughter an Etrial(sp?) to be betrothed to a lowly Faernous (sp?). She was worthy of nobility and nobility alone. So heartbroken she ran from the castle, mounted her horse and rode for the beach again. William was not expecting to see his love so soon and and rushed to her in concern. When she told him what happened he immediately rode Elenathrial back to the kingdom, not wanting to be the cause of the kings contempt. Mallindor at first thanked William for being so responsible as to bring back his wayward daughter, only to have the crowns guard immediately seize and execute William on the spot, crimson spray showering all over the throne room. “Do not dare defy me again or soon you will learn your place” the king turned from his sobbing daughter as he left the servants to mop up the horrid remains. So now the endings to this story differ, some say Elenathrial threw herself to the ocean to always be with Williams wandering soul. And some say she forgot her dear sailor entirely and went on to marry an elven prince doing what her father bid. But my favourite ending is the one where she ends up ruling the kingdom after her father fell mysteriously to some poison tea when he least expected it.

I love how everyone had their own flavor of gibberish for the elven section. xD

Yeah, I thought about that too. Not a single one went for the same gibberish. Most chose a key sound and stuck to it, like Marisha with ska and Sam with mo

[@Terahnee]

Exactly! I'm like, 'You were a childhood star in the 80, you should know Alf!' And then she got it, but dismissed it, lol.

[@NonsenseWithGlasses]

I interpreted it as Ashley refusing to believe that Reani’s story would include the 80s sitcom Alf 😂

[@BeginnerBrews]

Ashley saying “not Alf, something different” as if it was in the original story but definitely changed a bit to be more fantasy is the best thing ever

[@fakjbf3129]

I love that unlike previous episodes where one person drops the ball and completely changes the story, this one died of a thousand little cuts. Each person was pretty good about conveying 90% of the story, but they all ended up dropping or altering a few pieces which in the end added up to a story that hit the broad strokes but with some really weird details.

[@mazikeen_aka_maze68]

​@@dig8634 It's a joke. I AM Dutch and the joke is that I understand the 'elvish' better than my own native language. I mean... we do sound like a broken coffee maker.

[@dig8634]

@@ReinoudvanReekumナウト I see, that makes a whole lot more sense. I at first dismissed his mention of Dutch as just a random language he thought it sounded like, but when I read your comment I thought maybe he said that because he actually knew some Dutch and used that as gibberish. Obviously was right the first time, but boy was I confused XD

[@bluedutchess6656]

whahaha I love how the only things that lasted of the original story were: wanting to tell this story to Caleb, the name of the male is William, they talk in their "native tongue" (lol it didn't sound Dutch you guys XD it sounded more like Finnish or Swedish in the beginning hahaha), gets refused once by the king and William dies XD I really hoped the Conch shell would last all the way! XD it's so cool to see the people adding to the story to make it sound logical in their minds or summarize the story because they forgot the details XD Gotta love Narrative Telephone
