#where turin and maegin can communicate through their magic swords

[telpea-kalka]

Maeglin, through Anguirel: TURIN!

Turin, through Anglachel: Oh Valar what!? What’s happened!?

Maeglin: Why didn’t you tell me you were dying!?

Turin: What!? Where did you hear that? I’m not dying.

Maeglin: I heard Tuor saying men can only live until age eighty! Was he lying!? Tell me he was lying!

Turin: ...That’s what you’re freaking out over? Yeah, it’s true. We can live to eighty but most men die earlier than that.

Maeglin: WHAT!?

Turin: I need you to calm down.

Maeglin: How can I calm down Turin!? I thought men lived to, like, a thousand! I’m not even double your age, you’re literally dying, I can’t handle that!

Turin: Okay, listen to me, I’m not dying. I’m only twenty-five, I have so much time.

Maeglin: You’re twenty-five!? You’ve barely lived!

Turin: Maeglin—

Maeglin: I’m going to write King Orodreth! I hope you appreciate how many rules I’m breaking. You said his daughter liked you, you need to be married to her now!

Turin: Why the hell would that help?

Maeglin: It worked for Beren and Luthien!! Luthien became mortal, we’re hoping for those results in reverse!

Turin: Yeah, I’m not doing that. First of all, that’s my friend’s girlfriend. Second, do not send a letter out of Gondolin. Third, and most importantly, you need to calm down!

Maeglin: Turin, you’re probably my best friend. I cannot handle any more death.

Maeglin: You know what, forget what I said, you and I are getting married right now. I’m getting an officiant. It’s fine. Marriage of convenience. Don’t move. I’m gonna save you Turin! This will work!

Turin, through Anglachel: Okay, I know I’ve been gone for a few days but I’ve got some big news, you free?

Maeglin, through Anguirel: Sort of... I can talk, but I’m stuck in a mine shaft. So am I free? No.

Turin: WHAT!?

Maeglin: Yeah, mine caved in. I found some amazing samples but I definitely shouldn’t have gone down this shaft. Good thing I can see well in the dark, right?

Turin: Maeglin, this is really serious. How long have you been stuck?

Maeglin: No idea. Can’t tell time since my lanterns burned out.. since the last time we talked?

Turin: That was a week ago.

Maeglin: Oh...

Turin: How can I get you help?

Maeglin: Well I’m just trying to dig myself out before someone comes looking for me. I think I’ll be fine, someone will notice I’m gone.

Turin:

Maeglin: No, yeah, I’ll be fine, what was your news?

Turin: ...Well Niniel and I got engaged.

Maeglin: Really!? Oh Valar, congrandulations! She sounds nice, I wanna be there for your wedding!

Turin: Maeglin, you’re in Goldolin... stuck in a mine.

Maeglin: Right.

Maeglin: But you could prop the sword up in the audience or something.

I feel like before Turin and Maeglin started talking through Anguirel and Anglachel, Eol and Thingol would use the evil walkie talkies to send passive aggressive hate mail... and/or plan out family bridge nights

Turin, through Anglachel: Hey, you awake?

Maeglin, through Anguirel: Yeah. You?

Turin: Yeah.

Turin: ...What do you think is the purpose of life?

Maeglin: Well I’m gonna classify every ore in Gondolin’s biome. So I guess that.

Turin: That’s cool, but I mean existentially. I’m probably gonna die under my father’s curse so what’s even the point, you know?

Maeglin: Oh hey, no way, me too!

Maeglin: You should take up mining. You can send me samples from Doriath.

Turin: And like, fill the existential void that way?

Maeglin: Yeah!

Tuor: I think the purpose of life is being kind to others.

Maeglin: Get off the call Tuor! Turin make your cousin leave.

Turin: Yeah get out, this is private. Cursed kids only.
