Supermarket Sweep

[The Witch King]

Welcome to Minas Tesco. Middle Earths largest supermarket with a wide range of products on offer to suit every budget.
We are situated within an enormous cavern at the entrance to the Misty Mountains there is free stabling for horses, wargs and winged beasts (for up to 2 hours). Easy access for Ents, hobbit friendly trolleys and wide aisles to accomodate the largest of cave trolls.

We regret that no weapons are allowed instore.

The recently refurbished bakery has a selection of lembas bread as well as daily delivery from our local stockist the Shire.

The delicattessen section has an array of cold meats and fish. Joints of Oliphant, Pony legs, Hot wargs, minced orc and beast burgers are just some of the delectable treats on offer. Check out the recently launched 'ration range' of long lasting meat and bread products at bargain prices. Ideal for feeding the troops.
*SPECIAL OFFER* Buy 5000 portions and get another 5000 absolutely free!

In the wines of Middle Earth section you'll find something to suit every taste from the fine and fruity wines of Mirkwood and Lothlorien to the gutwrenching ciders and brandies of Mordor and Isenguard.

In the clothing area we have some excellent 2 for 1 offers on mithril. Regulation Orc boots are reduced along with leather gloves and cloaks. Be the height of Sindarin fashion this summer with our recently launched range of designer gowns by the highly acclaimed fashion guru Tastelas.

All this and so much more when you shop at Minas Tesco. Theres no where else in Middle Earth like it!

[The Witch King]

*The Witch-king stood at the entrance to the shop, listening to the endless drone of the tannoy system as he waited for the other contestants to arrive. He'd put on his white trainers hoping they might give him some extra speed.
He decided to make the most of the time and began checking out the trolleys trying to find one that didn't have a wobbly wheel.*

[Imrel]

(LOL! Brilliant!)

*Imrel shows up, not, for once, in her usual red, but in a grey tee and joggers. She does, however, have a red sweatband. (Perhaps she's taking this a bit too seriously.)*

Hullo Witchy.

*She raises an eyebrow at the trainers.*

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen you wear anything white before.

[The Witch King]

Well make the most of it!
It's not something I plan on doing regularly.

*He scowled and crossed his arms defensively wishing the contest would hurry up and start.*

[Imrel]

*Supressing a chortle, she goes to the trolley park and sets about tugging one free of the line. After a while of futile struggling, she realises it's been put back wonky and gotten stuck to the one in front of it.*

Ah, fudge.

*She kicks it with the toe of her shoes in frustration. There is a grating clank as the cart becomes dislodged and starts trundling out of line.*

[Rhiannon]

*Hidden behind the stables, she finishes her warm up exercises and - other preparations. Sneaks over to the entrance and walks up to the others* Hello ;D

[Imrel]

Hullo Rhi.

*She grabs the runaway trolley by the handle before it gets too far.*

You look... pleased about something...

[The Witch King]

*Witchy looked on.

That was one thing he admired in the rangers. Their unfailing enthusiasm - even when they didn't have a hope in the pits of Mordor, of winning.

[Grubhosh]

Grubby looking slightly ruffled after just being relieved of all her weapons by a burley secruity troll it wasn't like she would actualy use them on anyone.. at least not in the store.. unless they really annoyed her. She staggered up to the witch King

well M'lord got anything devious planned?

with Rhi on her side they shoudln't have to cheat though a little friendly cheating would be expected of her after all she was an Orc.

[Huzgol the Horrid]

Huzgol struts into the shopping mall, her neck craned to find her partner, the Witch King. She sees Grubby walking in, however, and gives her orc pall a hug and a rather orcish joke in the black speech which Huzgol hoped the others wouldn't understand...

"Hello, rangers!" she then says to Im and Rhia, giving each of them a high five (or as high as Huzgol could reach, since she wasn't especially tall).

"Ah, milord, what orders from Mordor do you have now?" she asks the Witch King, knowing very well how ranks and the social cast worked in Mordor...

[The Witch King]

Hush Orc!
I'm not giving tactics away with the enemy listening.

*He looked shiftily from side to side.*

Run along and fetch us a decent trolley will you.

[Imrel]

Word of advice. Not from that row.

*Points to the sticky row she got her trolley from.*

Has anyone seen Skowerif yet?

*She hops from foot to foot, still leaning on the trolley.*

[Huzgol the Horrid]

"Aye, good point!" Huzgol says as she runs to get the trolley, careful not to trip over her untied black laces of her orange sneakers...

[~Dernhelm~]

Eowyn gives her horse Waterwhisp a carrot and pets him before going into Minas Tesco.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine," she tells her steed reasurringly.

Adjusting the baggy shirt which she had raided Éomer's closet for (all Éowyn had were dresses and gowns) and making sure that her light blue sneakers' laces were tied properly, she goes into the supermarket, ignoring the security troll who grumbled something at her which she couldn't understand...

"Good morning, everyone," she says when she sees Imrel, Rhia, Witchy, Grubby, Huzgol and more shoppers looking at the trolleys and trying to talk to each other...

[Imrel]

Morning Eo. I see you were having a friend chat with Lloyd over there.

*She nods, smiling, in the direction of the security troll. She glances to Huzgol.*

Careful of your shoelaces, Huz, you don't want to trip.
