Okay guys, this is just meant to be a silly series of short stories, all connected, one chapter about each object or set of objects the portal spits out. They are going to be short, but amusing. I will try my best to do suggestions. My only request: save the more complicated stuff for later. Start out with suggestions like..ice cubes and pencils! Enjoy this first chapter on... you guessed it...bubblewrap!
Legolas:
Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli stared at the thin piece of material that Elrond was waving in their face. It was extremely thin, with small, round protrusions, and it was almost transparent. The little bumps made it look warped, and shiny.
"Have you ever seen anything like this before?" Elrond urged them.
"Not at all..." murmured Legolas. "May I hold it?"
Elrond nodded slightly, and handed the elf the strange material. It was astonishingly light, and strange to the touch. Legolas turned it around, and it made the strangest sound, like paper crinkling, or leaves crunching. Yet it was extremely flexible, and he was able to bend it in half. Legolas looked closer at the little bumps, and realized they were hollow. He squeezed one in between his slender fingers, and suddenly, a loud Pop! resounded through the courtyard. Everyone jumped up in alarm, Aragorn even drawing his sword.
"What in Durin's name was THAT?!" bellowed Gimli.
Legolas frowned, and squeezed another of the bumps. Again, a loud Pop! filled the air, and the hollow space collapsed. Gimli and Aragorn watched as he squished three more. Pop! Pop! Pop!
"Interesting..." mused Elrond, a faint smile dancing across his lips every time Gimli jumped a little.
"Let me give this strange instrument a go!" grumbled Gimli, snatching it from Legolas. He tentavely squeezed one of the hollow bumps, and, as everyone had expected, another Pop! was emitted.
"What if one was to pop many at once?" mused Aragorn.
Gimli shrugged, and did just that. A rapid series of pops were emitted. Gimli did it again, and then again. A grin slowly spread over his face.
"This is surprisingly amusing," he chuckled.
Fifteen minutes later, Gimli had demolished all the bumps in three of the sheets of odd material, and had also managed to annoy every elf within earshot.
"Finally, there's no more of it!" sighed Legolas. He didn't think he could stand to hear one more Pop!.
Then, from behind him heard Gimli yell, "Oi, here's another batch!", and then Pop! Pop! Pop!.
