Nov 18 00:01:03 * Morgan nods Nov 18 00:01:13 She's very sweet Nov 18 00:01:45 * Florrie comes closer, showing him. The doll looks to be wearing Eisen-style baby clothes Nov 18 00:02:08 She's wearing Eisen clothes, looks like Nov 18 00:03:07 Slow worm send clothes Nov 18 00:03:20 Ah, thats nice isn't it Nov 18 00:03:45 How you feeling about speaking to slow worm?

Nov 18 00:14:41 No, we've bought a house Nov 18 00:15:50 Stay in house? Nov 18 00:16:00 * Morgan nods Nov 18 00:16:30 So, we'll sail on my ship to see my uncle, see his flowers... he has some exotic ones... then we'll all sail to Eisen, then come inland to stay in my house Nov 18 00:16:39 Okay ball head. Make flowers in garden? Nov 18 00:16:48 Oh I would think so Nov 18 00:18:19 * Florrie smiles Nov 18 00:18:23 Bring doll? Nov 18 00:18:33 Absolutely, if you want to Nov 18 00:18:56 *Alice comes along, drying her hands "hello, Morgan, how are you?" Nov 18 00:19:37 Hello Alice... I'm well, thank you... you? Nov 18 00:20:43 A: good thanks, everyone alright? Nov 18 00:20:54 * Morgan nods Nov 18 00:21:07 Been a tough journey getting to Zweibrucke, but we're alright Nov 18 00:22:59 A: good. Molly's note said you're about to sail out? Nov 18 00:23:07 * Morgan nods Nov 18 00:23:21 Just named my new ship, we sail in an hour or so, off to the Empire Nov 18 00:24:26 What name? Nov 18 00:24:49 Star of the Sea Nov 18 00:26:11 * Florrie nods Nov 18 00:26:23 A: That's a nice name Nov 18 00:26:39 Its what Molly's name means Nov 18 00:26:56 A: That's sweet. *she smiles* We should let you go. Nov 18 00:27:05 * Morgan checks the time Nov 18 00:27:14 I suppose so... I'm due to speak to Edward shortly Nov 18 00:28:46 *he's got ten minutes before then* Nov 18 00:29:32 I've got another ten minutes Nov 18 00:30:37 Could you do me a favour Alice? I need a message sent to Maelwys, he owns the inn in Avebury... find out if he's interested in selling some Eisen ale... Nov 18 00:32:05 *Alice gets a piece of paper* dictate it and I'll send it on Nov 18 00:32:20 * Morgan clears his throat Nov 18 00:33:58 Maelwys, you old dog. Got contacts for brewers in Eisen, you want a sample? Called Miners knock, can arrange transit to you. Be well. Morgan. Nov 18 00:35:27 Write to dog? Nov 18 00:35:59 No, sweetheart, its just something I call him Nov 18 00:36:07 Why called Dog? Nov 18 00:36:29 He turns around four times before he goes to sleep Nov 18 00:38:01 * Florrie gets down, doing this before pretending to sleep on the floor Nov 18 00:38:12 Thats it Nov 18 00:38:24 A: I'll send it on Nov 18 00:39:02 * Morgan nods Nov 18 00:39:03 Thank you Nov 18 00:40:24 * Florrie comes back Nov 18 00:40:48 Where Varick? Nov 18 00:41:06 He's seeing Molly before we leave... he's staying behind Nov 18 00:42:47 * Florrie hugs her doll Nov 18 00:42:54 Okay ball head Nov 18 00:43:20 * Morgan smiles, checking his watch again Nov 18 00:44:34 A: Come on Florrie, time to say goodbye. Nov 18 00:44:39 See mirrors soon? Nov 18 00:44:45 * Morgan nods Nov 18 00:44:55 I'll leave your mama a note so we can arrange it, alright? Nov 18 00:45:07 Okay, love you, bye Nov 18 00:45:44 Love you too sweetheart... bye Nov 18 00:46:35 * Florrie gets down, wandering off Nov 18 00:46:51 *Alice smiles* safe travels, Morgan Nov 18 00:47:09 Thank you Alice... I'll let you know when we're back from the Empire Nov 18 00:47:48 *She nods. Soon that mirror is covered, and his link to the little girl who loves him is paused* Nov 18 00:50:24 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 18 00:51:20 * Florrie has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 18 06:26:21 * Disconnected () **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Nov 18 06:26:21 2022 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Nov 18 06:26:32 2022 Nov 18 06:26:32 * Now talking on #7thsea Nov 18 09:55:00 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Nov 18 09:59:47 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 18 10:00:28 * MollyK is now known as Edward Nov 18 10:01:14 *just like his daughter, Edward also has his mirror uncovered but isn't paying attention. Instead he's writing something* Nov 18 10:05:29 * Morgan again watches him for a moment before speaking Nov 18 10:05:30 morning Nov 18 10:07:30 * Edward looks up, smiling. He puts the quill back in its holder Nov 18 10:07:41 Morgan: Nov 18 10:07:57 How are you brother? Nov 18 10:10:14 I am well. How are you all? Nov 18 10:10:38 * Morgan blows out his cheeks Nov 18 10:10:46 Been a hard week but we're alright now Nov 18 10:11:10 Weather's been cold here, have you had bad roads? Nov 18 10:12:11 * Morgan sighs Nov 18 10:12:14 monsters Nov 18 10:13:05 No one hurt? *he looks concerned* Nov 18 10:13:52 Only emotionally. I've had to explain to DeeDee about myself and Molly's abilities... there was no other way to deal with the creatures Nov 18 10:17:07 * Edward nods Nov 18 10:17:25 Alright. After what happened with Rief, I think he can handle it Nov 18 10:18:08 * Morgan nods Nov 18 10:18:26 He took it on board quite well... finished the journey with us rather than running off screaming... good signs Nov 18 10:18:59 * Edward nods Nov 18 10:19:20 Is he still fawning over Claudia now he's had to spend more time with her? Nov 18 10:20:04 He's been the perfect gentleman... its done her good, actually... not that she feels that yet... between you and I, she has quite a crush on him Nov 18 10:21:27 * Edward looks incredulous Nov 18 10:21:30 What?! Nov 18 10:21:37 * Morgan nods Nov 18 10:21:51 Its a big shift for her, though Nov 18 10:24:23 I thought she was more like a nun, but with weapons Nov 18 10:24:41 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 18 10:25:24 Not even close. There's much more to her than you imagine... she hasn't felt attraction to a man for a long -long- time, which is why it freaked her out so much Nov 18 10:27:30 * Edward nods "he's counted as quite handsome by women I know" Nov 18 10:31:05 That seems to be the consensus here, yes Nov 18 10:31:26 I think its more to do with his behaviour, if I'm honest Nov 18 10:31:52 * Edward nods Nov 18 10:32:08 How have his nightmares been? Nov 18 10:33:12 * Morgan sighs Nov 18 10:34:09 Really bad in Fischler, as were mine... and awful after Weisland, though that was a manipulation by the ashkoven... and even with that he was there to support Claudia through hers Nov 18 10:37:24 * Edward frowns Nov 18 10:37:34 What's been happening with you all? Nov 18 10:38:09 Like I said... monsters, but just the one lot... but it was harrowing. Nov 18 10:39:51 * Edward nods Nov 18 10:40:08 You're all alright though? Nov 18 10:40:23 * Morgan nods Nov 18 10:40:48 We are. Its been tough but we're alright Nov 18 10:42:39 * Edward nods Nov 18 10:43:17 What's happening with Claudia and DeeDee now then? And Captain Sorgi? Nov 18 10:44:34 Sorgi... he's always said he holds no expectations or limitations on her... Molly and Inga kissed DeeDee's cheek as he was leaving, leaving an opening for Claudia to which, surprisingly, she did... she's slowly accepting the change she's going through Nov 18 10:46:59 She's sworn off men, but Deedee's gotten under her skin? Nov 18 10:47:37 * Morgan nods Nov 18 10:47:45 Thats a fair assessment Nov 18 10:52:27 * Edward nods Nov 18 10:52:41 What will happen with them then? Nov 18 10:52:53 No idea Nov 18 10:55:43 * Edward nods Nov 18 10:56:01 Did he go to look for Petra? Nov 18 10:56:08 We did... she's fine Nov 18 10:56:22 * Edward looks relieved Nov 18 10:56:27 Good. How is she? Nov 18 10:57:04 She seemed very well, busy... Nov 18 10:58:54 * Edward smiles Nov 18 10:59:09 She's a busy woman. Did you go with him? Nov 18 10:59:46 After the incident with the ashkoven, I wasn't about to let him wander off alone... and, I'll admit, I was curious to meet the woman you speak so highly of Nov 18 11:00:00 What did you think? Nov 18 11:00:14 I thought she was lovely, frankly Nov 18 11:00:25 * Edward smiles Nov 18 11:00:48 You can understand now why I took James to her? Nov 18 11:01:19 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:01:25 She was very happy for you and James Nov 18 11:01:31 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:01:49 Why didn't she come to the wedding? Nov 18 11:02:04 * Morgan closes his eyes for a moment Nov 18 11:02:28 She said... it is not easy for a woman with intimate knowledge of a man to attend his wedding... I suspect both for her and Mina... Nov 18 11:05:34 * Edward nods sadly Nov 18 11:05:38 I wanted her there Nov 18 11:05:58 I know, Edward. I don't blame you but... she's right... Nov 18 11:07:30 * Edward sighs Nov 18 11:07:53 I miss her. We've been close for eight years Nov 18 11:08:08 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:08:25 I know... she misses you but that reminder would hurt Mina Nov 18 11:09:05 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:09:20 It's not easy, juggling women's feelings Nov 18 11:09:44 Really? I hadn't noticed Nov 18 11:09:50 * Morgan pulls a face briefly Nov 18 11:12:57 * Edward laughs Nov 18 11:13:25 Having a hard time with Molly? Nov 18 11:15:01 No, not really... its difficult sometimes letting her know something bothers me without upsetting her Nov 18 11:16:35 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:16:44 I know what you mean Nov 18 11:18:36 I don't suppose the Freiarr of Graben wants to invest in a shipping company... Nov 18 11:20:17 * Edward looks interested Nov 18 11:20:23 He might be Nov 18 11:21:23 * Morgan pulls a face Nov 18 11:21:56 Witts has worked out without investors it'll be three years before I see my investment returned... and thats before I ordered another ship Nov 18 11:22:01 * Morgan chuckles quietly Nov 18 11:23:13 * Edward laughs "are you mad, brother?" Nov 18 11:23:32 That is the rumour, yes... Nov 18 11:23:58 But... if all goes well in Capperlucia, I'll have two in constant transit there and back... Nov 18 11:24:22 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:25:10 I have an iron mine that's profitable but I'd be interested in shipping further afield, if that's of interest to you? Nov 18 11:25:57 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:26:31 I've got Witts drawing up proposals for how to work it with two or three investors... I was thinking of mentioning it to father and Jarvie... Nov 18 11:28:01 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:28:21 Let me know then, but I am interested Nov 18 11:28:28 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:28:40 He should have them ready by the time I get back from the Empire Nov 18 11:30:29 When are you sailing? Nov 18 11:31:19 Soon as I've finished speaking with you Nov 18 11:33:33 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:33:52 Has the nightmare trap reached you? Nov 18 11:34:29 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:34:32 Yes, thank you Nov 18 11:34:50 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:35:21 I have had a note from Mother, they are progressing home well Nov 18 11:35:50 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:35:58 I had thought they would stay a little longer with you Nov 18 11:37:49 * Edward smiles Nov 18 11:38:18 Mina is dealing with her loss admirably, and they were starting to cramp our style Nov 18 11:38:32 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:38:39 Thats more acceptable then Nov 18 11:38:46 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:39:49 Quiet hour has become quiet afternoon. I train and work in the mornings, but after lunch Mina has my undivided attention. Then I work briefly again before dinner. Nov 18 11:40:05 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:40:12 I'm glad you are having more time together Nov 18 11:40:18 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:40:39 Honestly, it's bliss. This is the life I've always dreamt of Nov 18 11:41:14 * Morgan broadly Nov 18 11:41:20 I'm very pleased for you brother Nov 18 11:43:04 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:43:28 I've spoken to Florrie most days too Nov 18 11:44:42 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:44:57 Aye, Molly mentioned that... you're getting on well Nov 18 11:47:38 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:47:52 She's easy to love Nov 18 11:48:07 * Morgan nods Nov 18 11:48:18 *he takes a breath* speaking of Florrie... Nov 18 11:48:29 Yes? Nov 18 11:48:50 I've had to explain the situation to DeeDee... Nov 18 11:49:09 Fuck. Nov 18 11:49:40 * Morgan watches him carefully Nov 18 11:49:43 I'm sorry Nov 18 11:50:03 What happened?! Nov 18 11:50:18 Does that really matter? Nov 18 11:50:30 I think I deserve to know Nov 18 11:53:03 Of course... I just didn't want to go through it if it was just a kneejerk response... I've been having to explain to Varick about how babies are made... its impossible to predict when he's going to ask, so... DeeDee was with us, I was explaining something and he let slip about you having planted seed in Alice... Nov 18 11:53:42 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:54:07 Damn. I should have accounted for the extra risk of the time spent travelling. Sorry, brother. Nov 18 11:55:23 -you're- sorry? No, no... -I'm- sorry. I explained the situation with as few details as possible. He was a little upset that perhaps you did not trust him with it but, also... pregnancy, children... Nov 18 11:56:25 * Edward nods Nov 18 11:56:47 I am sorry you had to explain it to him when I should have had the nerve to do it myself Nov 18 11:57:09 * Morgan shakes his head Nov 18 11:57:12 Don't worry at that Nov 18 11:58:36 I will spend time with him when he gets home. I'll write to the others too. It's on me for leaving it so long Nov 18 11:59:41 DeeDee thinks he has a letter for you explaining the whole situation... Nov 18 12:01:21 * Edward nods Nov 18 12:01:34 Open it alone because it's blank? Nov 18 12:02:48 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:03:18 Figured we'd speak anyway... Nov 18 12:06:09 * Edward nods Nov 18 12:06:52 I am glad we have Nov 18 12:07:57 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:08:00 I am missing you Nov 18 12:08:46 * Edward nods Nov 18 12:08:58 We feel the same here in Graben Nov 18 12:09:48 * Morgan nods, smiling Nov 18 12:09:53 I need you to consider something Nov 18 12:11:52 Yes? Nov 18 12:12:49 The ship I have commissioned today will be ready in time for our return from Capperlucia... I had intended to call it the Reconciliation... Nov 18 12:12:59 * Edward nods Nov 18 12:13:45 I suggested that in Starke? Nov 18 12:14:01 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:14:24 Yes, you did, thats why that will be its name... unless... you would prefer to name her something else, for Florrie... Nov 18 12:15:49 No... I like the Reconciliation Nov 18 12:15:59 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:16:02 Very well Nov 18 12:16:25 * Edward smiles Nov 18 12:16:29 Thank you, Morgan Nov 18 12:16:40 * Morgan looks mildly confused Nov 18 12:16:43 For... Nov 18 12:17:02 Choosing that name Nov 18 12:17:12 Its important Nov 18 12:19:27 * Edward nods "we have come so far" Nov 18 12:19:52 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:19:58 I am exceptionally proud of us for it Nov 18 12:20:46 * Edward nods Nov 18 12:21:06 We have both had to do much introspection Nov 18 12:21:22 Something of an understatement I feel... Nov 18 12:23:08 * Edward nods Nov 18 12:23:32 We've all learned lessons Nov 18 12:23:41 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:23:45 aye Nov 18 12:24:21 Oh, you'll be pleased to know I have secured Karlsruhe to act as my overseer for Gottkirchen Nov 18 12:24:51 * Edward nods Nov 18 12:25:09 He will do you well Nov 18 12:25:41 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:25:56 I am heeding a good deal of the advice you have given me Nov 18 12:28:42 Such as? Nov 18 12:29:18 Being more open and expressive with Molly, not keeping all of these projects to myself... its difficult, mind Nov 18 12:29:27 * Edward nods Nov 18 12:29:52 You became very self-reliant Nov 18 12:31:19 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:31:25 I suppose so, yes. Nov 18 12:32:19 You will get used to it Nov 18 12:33:01 * Morgan nods Nov 18 12:33:16 I don't feel quite so rushed... though I do have moments of feeling overwhelmed still Nov 18 12:33:50 * Edward nods Nov 18 12:34:01 All of this is a lot of responsibility Nov 18 12:34:27 And thats without the Nieblungen and what I have to do for them Nov 18 12:34:55 That reminds me... they have no idea why you could remember what happened in your dreams... it shouldn't be possible Nov 18 12:36:04 * Edward shrugs "I have no idea either" Nov 18 12:37:16 They've also said I can tell you everything... if you wish to know it... Nov 18 12:37:54 Is that something you have time for today? Nov 18 12:38:02 * Morgan checks the time Nov 18 12:39:29 *it about quarter to ten* Nov 18 12:40:16 I've got a little while, yes... Nov 18 12:43:23 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 18 13:09:59 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 18 13:10:33 *Edward fetches himself some whiskey* go on Nov 18 13:11:56 Where to start... alright, I have had it confirmed there are several monsters in the Sudlache... Nov 18 13:12:12 * MollyK nods Nov 18 13:12:19 * MollyK is now known as Edward Nov 18 13:12:33 I cannot say I'm surprised Nov 18 13:13:23 Ok, nice and easy... ummm... The stone of the Sudlache was not found... Nov 18 13:13:41 She's lost it?! Nov 18 13:14:18 No! No, you misunderstand.... It was not found by the first Graf of Sudlachenburg... Nov 18 13:14:27 What then? Nov 18 13:15:30 It was given to the first Graf... to be passed down through the family to each Veisgrafin... Nov 18 13:15:53 Given by the Nibelungen? Nov 18 13:16:02 * Morgan nods Nov 18 13:16:29 Specifically to get to Molly Nov 18 13:16:51 That was five hundred years ago, Morgan Nov 18 13:17:07 I know. Nov 18 13:17:31 They've been meddling for a very long time Nov 18 13:20:31 That seems impossible Nov 18 13:21:05 * Morgan nods Nov 18 13:21:14 My mind fought against accepting it as well Nov 18 13:24:16 How did they know she would even be born, let alone marry you?! Nov 18 13:24:32 * Morgan shrugs Nov 18 13:24:35 They can see the future Nov 18 13:26:25 * Edward finishes the whiskey in one go Nov 18 13:26:33 Right. What else? Nov 18 13:27:57 ummm... on the plus side, the soonest they've seen this big battle I told you about is fifteen years away.... Nov 18 13:31:43 * Edward nods Nov 18 13:31:51 It's unavoidable? Nov 18 13:32:29 * Morgan nods Nov 18 13:32:50 I think so, yes... given... what is at stake... Nov 18 13:33:07 Which is? Nov 18 13:33:27 Got some more whiskey? Nov 18 13:33:57 * Edward smiles "by the sounds of that, there isn't enough in a bottle..." Nov 18 13:34:38 * Morgan nods Nov 18 13:34:43 I'm still grappling with it Nov 18 13:36:52 * Edward nods Nov 18 13:36:58 Tell me then Nov 18 13:37:21 Everyone. Nov 18 13:37:41 What do you mean? Nov 18 13:38:02 I mean -exactly- what I said. Thats what's at stake, if we lose... Nov 18 13:39:22 * Edward nods. Then he gets up and brings the whiskey to the desk Nov 18 13:39:32 That could happen? Nov 18 13:40:19 Losing? Hell, the Nieblungen can't even see what the enemy -is- Nov 18 13:42:16 * Edward takes a mouthful Nov 18 13:42:40 In as little as fifteen years? Nov 18 13:43:08 Thats the soonest, yes Nov 18 13:45:19 * Edward sighs heavily Nov 18 13:45:30 I don't know what to say, Morgan Nov 18 13:46:28 * Morgan smiles slightly, nodding Nov 18 13:46:34 Best not fuck it up Nov 18 13:48:19 * Edward nods Nov 18 13:48:31 It'd be better if you don't Nov 18 13:49:14 * Morgan nods Nov 18 13:49:34 I'm going to try very hard... on a lighter note... they have names for us, y'know Nov 18 13:50:54 That's strange Nov 18 13:51:15 No stranger than you and your friends having nicknames Nov 18 13:52:50 I have heard that Molly has a nickname for us... Nov 18 13:53:21 * Morgan tilts his head Nov 18 13:53:23 Oh? Nov 18 13:54:07 Lord Pottymouth and the jolly boys, I am told *Edward looks like he's trying to stay stern but not quite managing it* Nov 18 13:55:20 * Morgan starts laughing Nov 18 13:55:26 Oh... oh thats wonderful Nov 18 13:56:42 * Edward chuckles Nov 18 13:57:17 I feel like I ought to take umbrage with it, but the childlikeness of it is delightful Nov 18 13:58:32 Its delivered out of love, I think thats what makes the difference Nov 18 13:59:54 * Edward nods Nov 18 14:00:17 I imagine it started from Potts cream pie comment? Nov 18 14:00:38 That would make sense Nov 18 14:02:47 * Edward nods Nov 18 14:03:02 What are the Nibelungen nicknames? Nov 18 14:04:14 Uhhh... Molly has several... Mother of the Many, Healer of Worlds... HeinzHarold, twelfth of his name... I've got... three I think Nov 18 14:04:22 well... they told me three, there could be more Nov 18 14:05:25 I didn't know Heinzharold came from such a long line Nov 18 14:05:37 Nor did he... three hundred years, more or less Nov 18 14:08:31 * Edward nods Nov 18 14:08:45 He will carry the name on then? Nov 18 14:09:06 I'd imagine so, aye... probably mostly because it was his Da's name Nov 18 14:11:55 * Edward nods Nov 18 14:12:02 What are your nicknames? Nov 18 14:12:50 The father of the mages... the righteous man... the broken warrior... all sound a bit ostentatious Nov 18 14:13:30 Your children are also going to have magic then Nov 18 14:14:25 its... necessary to face what's coming Nov 18 14:15:25 * Edward nods Nov 18 14:15:38 This is a lot to take in Nov 18 14:15:44 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:16:01 I know. Nov 18 14:18:42 * Edward rubs his forehead Nov 18 14:18:51 What happens until then? Nov 18 14:19:34 We carry on... knowing my luck, we'll face horrors along the way but... you don't get stronger doing the same thing over and over, you need challenges Nov 18 14:21:00 * Edward nods Nov 18 14:21:04 That is true Nov 18 14:21:42 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:21:46 Can't say I like that Nov 18 14:22:08 * Edward nods Nov 18 14:22:28 But we are Eisen, fighting and protecting others is in our very bones Nov 18 14:22:37 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:22:52 Absolutely. *he watches him for a moment* They have a name for you... Nov 18 14:25:14 Oh? Not King Edward Of Eisen? *he smiles* Nov 18 14:25:43 No... did you know in Avalon there are potatoes called King Edwards.... Nov 18 14:27:06 I'm a potato to you, brother? *he smirks* Nov 18 14:27:40 I must confess its given me much amusement Nov 18 14:28:43 * Edward nods Nov 18 14:28:49 What is it? Nov 18 14:29:01 Edward the penitent... Nov 18 14:29:20 * Edward nods Nov 18 14:29:28 It's not incorrect Nov 18 14:29:33 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:29:55 You are more than that though... though it is a damn sight more eloquent than 'the woman Claudia' Nov 18 14:30:39 * Edward snorts Nov 18 14:30:45 How many dead? Nov 18 14:30:52 * Morgan shrugs Nov 18 14:30:55 Might have kept that to myself Nov 18 14:31:47 * Edward nods Nov 18 14:31:53 Wise Nov 18 14:33:17 * Morgan nods Nov 18 14:33:29 Its only one step from -that- Claudia, like HeinzHarold's ma calls her Nov 18 14:34:34 * Edward nods Nov 18 14:35:22 I am sure she's not keen on that either Nov 18 14:36:32 Probably not... I've never asked Nov 18 14:38:25 * Edward nods Nov 18 14:39:07 * Edward looks towards the door, then whispers "I need to go" Nov 18 14:41:35 * Morgan nods, whispering Nov 18 14:41:37 Love you, be safe Nov 18 14:42:47 * Edward whispers "love you too, brother. I'll be praying for you all" Nov 18 14:45:55 * Morgan nods before covering the mirror Nov 18 14:47:14 *this leaves everything quiet Nov 18 14:47:26 * Morgan takes a moment before packing the mirrors away and going to find the others Nov 18 14:49:08 *the others are all up on deck Nov 18 14:50:23 * Morgan walks towards them, looking round Nov 18 14:53:16 *Molly has their bags as well as her sword. HH has a bag too. Varick comes to Morgan* V: Are you going now Papa? Nov 18 14:53:25 * Edward is now known as Varick Nov 18 14:53:39 Yes, Varick, we are... we'll only be a few days Nov 18 14:54:34 * Varick hugs him "Okay, Papa. I will miss you though" Nov 18 14:54:50 I'll miss you, very very much Nov 18 14:56:25 * Varick nods Nov 18 14:57:16 * Morgan looks to Inga Nov 18 14:57:29 Sinan Gottliebs wife is expecting you and Varick... children to play with Nov 18 15:00:27 Sorgi: Do you want us to stay rather than go to Picante? Nov 18 15:00:52 Let them play today, then get moving... Nov 18 15:02:26 *they all agree. HH comes to Inga, hugging her and talking quietly to her* Nov 18 15:02:42 * Varick is now known as Claudia Nov 18 15:02:55 * Claudia is keeping a watchful eye on Siegfried Nov 18 15:03:08 Alright? Nov 18 15:03:39 * Claudia nods Nov 18 15:03:53 Making sure you don't have a stowaway Nov 18 15:04:04 * Morgan nods, grasping her shoulder Nov 18 15:04:23 Varicks going to play with Sinan Gottliebs children... after that, Picante... Nov 18 15:04:34 * Claudia nods Nov 18 15:04:53 Sounds good, except for the prancing peacocks over there Nov 18 15:05:32 Glare at them a bit, they'll leave you alone.. or write ballads about you... Nov 18 15:05:50 Yuck Nov 18 15:06:53 * Morgan chuckles Nov 18 15:07:53 You say goodbye to DeeDee? Nov 18 15:09:01 * Claudia nods "yeah, he's gone at last!" Nov 18 15:09:18 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:09:30 Right, I'd best speak to him before we go Nov 18 15:11:13 * Claudia nods, clasping his arm "stay safe out there. Don't forget to put sand in Heinzharold's bed" Nov 18 15:11:53 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:11:55 Consider it done Nov 18 15:12:19 * Morgan squeezes her arm before going to Sigfried Nov 18 15:14:24 * Claudia is now known as Siegfried Nov 18 15:14:34 * Siegfried inclines his head Nov 18 15:16:21 We'll be back as quick as we can... if it helps the time pass quicker, talk to Sorgi about helping around the ship Nov 18 15:18:26 * Siegfried nods "I hope you find her" Nov 18 15:19:08 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:19:12 I'll do my best Nov 18 15:20:49 * Siegfried nods "thank you" Nov 18 15:21:39 * Morgan nods, squeezing his shoulder briefly before going back to Molly Nov 18 15:21:41 Come on then Nov 18 15:24:31 *Molly kisses Varick goodbye, leaving him with Inga. HH gives her a final wave, and they go down the gangplank Nov 18 15:24:37 * Siegfried is now known as HH Nov 18 15:24:48 Best get you to yer ship, Cap'n. Nov 18 15:25:04 * Morgan nods, heading that way as he takes a couple of deep breaths Nov 18 15:27:57 * HH leads the way cheerfully. Molly gently touches Morgan's arm "Alright, my love?" Nov 18 15:28:04 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:28:08 Nervous love Nov 18 15:29:17 *She smiles* It's very exciting Nov 18 15:29:37 * Morgan nods Nov 18 15:30:50 * HH is now known as Molly Nov 18 15:31:03 Would you like me to stay on deck with you, liebling? Nov 18 15:31:27 If you wish my love Nov 18 15:33:45 * Molly nods. When they get to the ship, his familiar crew are already on board with Sinan and waiting Nov 18 15:34:37 * Morgan climbs up to the deck, touching the horseshoe, looking around Nov 18 15:34:56 Alright then... pull the gangplank, take us out Nov 18 15:39:57 *The crew get on with this, someone taking Molly and HH's bags, and the two of them come to stand with Morgan. The crew await his commands for the sails and the angles, and the speed adjustments, the walls out of Zweibrucke quite narrow and easy to scrub, though the Star is much narrower than the Rose Nov 18 15:40:29 * Morgan starts giving the orders Nov 18 15:45:31 *it takes a while to get out into the Great River, but with a left turn they soon have sails fully unfurled and favouring winds. The manoeuvre was very smooth. HH pats his arm, grinning* This is pretty awesome, man! Nov 18 15:46:02 * Morgan nods before blowing air quickly out Nov 18 15:46:07 Nerve wracking... Nov 18 15:49:10 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Nov 18 15:50:43 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Nov 18 22:35:47 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Nov 18 22:41:54 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Nov 18 22:42:38 HH grins: al'ays nerve-wrackin' the first time Nov 18 22:42:45 * MollyK is now known as HH Nov 18 22:44:50 That was bloody narrow... never looks that narrow when someone else is giving directions Nov 18 22:45:07 * HH nods Nov 18 22:45:12 Did a good job, man Nov 18 22:45:29 Thanks... Nov 18 22:46:14 Seemed a bit far-fetched, y' captaining a ship you'd had built? Nov 18 22:46:39 * Morgan nods Nov 18 22:46:45 I helped seat the main mast... Nov 18 22:46:53 * HH nods Nov 18 22:47:05 Yer pride and joy then Nov 18 22:47:56 Wanna hear something stupid? Nov 18 22:48:05 Always Nov 18 22:48:56 I've taken duties on the Rose but... not having a ships captain to hand off to if I get stuck... I feel quite exposed... naked almost Nov 18 22:49:30 I'm 'ere to cover yer balls Nov 18 22:50:32 I know but... you know what I mean Nov 18 22:51:44 * HH nods Nov 18 22:51:56 'S what it'll be like in Gottkirchen too Nov 18 22:52:54 * Morgan nods Nov 18 22:53:33 Except my father will only be a day away, and Edward can give me advice... they're both much better suited and experienced with that side of things... this... this is what I'm supposed to be good at Nov 18 22:54:45 Why though? Nov 18 22:55:48 Why what? Nov 18 22:57:43 Why this? Finding yer own niche when you think they're better land owners? Nov 18 23:01:39 Thats not it... this... I've wanted this since I was a boy Nov 18 23:02:36 * HH nods Nov 18 23:03:01 Just wondered why it's so important to y' that you're good at -this- Nov 18 23:03:17 Because I'm a sailor... this is what I do Nov 18 23:06:20 * HH nods, watching around. There are other ships coming west as they go east. She glides smoothly through the calm waters, so small compared to the Rose Nov 18 23:07:50 More I think about it, the more it makes no sense the Rose is so fast and agile Nov 18 23:08:18 * HH looks at him Nov 18 23:08:45 No, really (?!) Nov 18 23:09:59 I try not to think about it though Nov 18 23:12:20 Prob'ly best, man. Think too much about any o' this and yer gonna have a hard time Nov 18 23:13:35 * Morgan sighs Nov 18 23:13:38 Already am Nov 18 23:14:57 * HH pats his arm "It'll turn out fine, man. We've been through some pretty bad scrapes already, still here." Nov 18 23:16:05 They reckon fifteen years for the big bad, at the earliest... but god knows what we'll face in the meantime Nov 18 23:19:47 But not right this minute. This minute we're just sailin' a sexy new ship and it's all good. Nov 18 23:20:25 She's gorgeous aint she Nov 18 23:22:35 * HH nods Nov 18 23:22:53 Yep, she is Nov 18 23:25:32 * Morgan nods, looking round Nov 18 23:25:35 Wonder how fast we can get Nov 18 23:26:30 Faster than this Nov 18 23:26:50 * Morgan nods, taking an eyeglass and looking far ahead Nov 18 23:27:08 *it's quite clear Nov 18 23:27:27 * Morgan starts calling out orders to change the trim and increase speed Nov 18 23:29:36 *this is met with lots of "Aye, Captain"s, none of the sailors seeming to find it at all odd to be accepting his commands. The ship speeds up noticeably, the conditions just right. Molly is stood at the prow, quietly watching the river* Nov 18 23:30:20 * Morgan nudges HeinzHarolds Nov 18 23:30:22 Hear that? Nov 18 23:31:04 People doin' what they're told? Nov 18 23:31:20 Aye captain... Nov 18 23:31:27 * Morgan sighs happily Nov 18 23:32:07 * HH watches him sidelong, smiling. He puts his arm around Morgan's shoulder "yeah you are." Nov 18 23:32:55 * Morgan smiles, looking up at the sails Nov 18 23:33:41 *they're pristine and new, clean white, just a like a bride on her wedding day* Nov 18 23:34:46 * Morgan laughs quietly Nov 18 23:34:54 What? Nov 18 23:35:52 Freiarr, Veisgraf, Graf, Duke... the title thats made me almost giddy? Captain... Nov 18 23:37:55 * HH pats his shoulder Nov 18 23:38:41 Not sure anythin' could beat being my lil darlin's Husband. Nov 18 23:40:49 Hence why I didn't include those things... this... this is a childhood dream come true... Husband, father, best friend... those are what keep me alive, keep me moving forward, keep me fighting. Nov 18 23:41:44 * HH nods Nov 18 23:42:45 Couldn't have imagined it happenin'... and then *he waves his hand towards Molly* she came along. Nov 18 23:45:11 Had another dream where Claudia had gotten married and had a baern... god, she made me feel awful for leaving you behind Nov 18 23:45:52 Surprised she didn' when y' came back to be honest Nov 18 23:46:23 She has done, just not quite so... forcefully Nov 18 23:47:33 * HH nods Nov 18 23:47:40 What'd she say? Nov 18 23:48:39 I'm an asshole, how could I just leave you, you were hurting too... nothing that wasn't true Nov 18 23:49:18 * HH shrugs Nov 18 23:49:30 I get why y' did. Nov 18 23:50:17 * Morgan nods Nov 18 23:50:31 Should've told or... or written at least Nov 18 23:51:19 Doesn't matter now, man Nov 18 23:51:47 * Morgan nods Nov 18 23:51:54 I've learned though... thats the important thing now Nov 18 23:52:48 * HH nods Nov 18 23:53:11 You're back where y' belong... bosoms and family *he grins* Nov 18 23:53:44 * Morgan nods, looking round at his crew Nov 18 23:55:27 *they're all working properly* Nov 18 23:56:47 I'm gonn' check in with Molly Nov 18 23:57:03 Aye aye Cap'n Nov 18 23:57:12 * Morgan frowns at him Nov 18 23:57:20 Don't be stupid... its one aye Nov 18 23:57:41 * HH covers one of his eyes, repeating it Nov 18 23:58:09 * Morgan thumps him before walking away Nov 18 23:58:50 * HH is now known as Molly Nov 18 23:59:24 * Molly is still where she was. She has her eyes closed, smiling, the breeze playing with her curls Nov 18 23:59:55 * Morgan leans on the railing, looking ahead
