Dec 01 00:07:33 I... don't need you to absent yourselves Dec 01 00:08:35 * Molly watches him Dec 01 00:08:41 If you are sure... Dec 01 00:10:04 * Morgan nods, heading over to the candles and finding three to light Dec 01 00:10:44 * Molly gives him some space, looking at the stained glass windows Dec 01 00:10:49 * Molly is now known as Varick Dec 01 00:11:19 Papa, are you lighting candles for Jana and Dietlinde? Dec 01 00:11:28 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:11:45 And one for someone else Dec 01 00:12:22 For my Daddy? Dec 01 00:12:46 No, Varick... do you want to light one for him? Dec 01 00:12:56 * Varick nods, getting one Dec 01 00:14:02 Are you lighting one for Lady Eldreich? Dec 01 00:14:34 No... I'm lighting one for my little boy Dec 01 00:16:00 * Varick looks around as if he might see someone "what little boy?" Dec 01 00:16:48 I'll tell you in a minute, okay? Dec 01 00:17:59 * Varick nods, staying quiet to light his candle Dec 01 00:18:40 * Morgan murmurs for a minute before looking at Varick, waiting for him to be ready Dec 01 00:19:21 * Varick is staring intently at the candle Dec 01 00:19:37 * Morgan puts a hand on his shoulder gently Dec 01 00:19:58 * Varick continues as he is Dec 01 00:20:59 * Morgan waits patiently, rubbing Varicks shoulder Dec 01 00:22:11 Fifty eight, fifty nine, sixty... Dec 01 00:22:24 what.... What are you doing Varick? Dec 01 00:23:11 I asked my Daddy and God if they really want me to stay Vaticine to give me a sign by putting the candle out in less than a minute Dec 01 00:24:03 I see... Dec 01 00:24:38 But the candle is still lit Dec 01 00:24:44 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:24:46 Yes it is Dec 01 00:25:28 So that means they don't mind Dec 01 00:26:06 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:26:09 Makes sense to me Dec 01 00:26:34 * Varick nods Dec 01 00:26:40 Okay, we can fo Dec 01 00:26:44 Go* Dec 01 00:27:00 * Morgan nods, taking the boys hand Dec 01 00:27:17 * Varick holds it's Dec 01 00:27:22 It* Dec 01 00:30:25 Ready blossom? Dec 01 00:30:44 *Molly nods* Dec 01 00:30:54 Wait, I didn't pray yet! Dec 01 00:31:19 Alright... Dec 01 00:32:07 * Varick sits in a pew, hands clasped together beneath closed eyes tightly shut Dec 01 00:32:42 * Morgan watches him Dec 01 00:33:24 * Varick seems to be praying hard. Molly looks to Morgan with a shrugs Dec 01 00:35:33 * Morgan speaks quietly Dec 01 00:35:40 I'd wager he's asking for a baby Dec 01 00:36:04 * Varick chews her lower lip Dec 01 00:36:08 * Varick is now known as Molly Dec 01 00:36:18 That plan has not changed...? Dec 01 00:37:18 Not as far as I'm concerned, no Dec 01 00:37:32 One of the many reasons I decided to come to Capperlucia Dec 01 00:37:37 * Molly nods solemnly Dec 01 00:38:10 It would be difficult from thousands of miles away Dec 01 00:38:20 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:38:29 He's met Amir... Dec 01 00:38:34 Oh? Dec 01 00:39:56 So now babies are at the forefront of his mind.... We'll need to get him baptised... Dec 01 00:41:25 Amir? Dec 01 00:41:33 Varick Dec 01 00:41:41 * Molly 's eyes light up Dec 01 00:41:49 He wants to be Objectionist? Dec 01 00:42:43 I'm not sure he's quite there yet... but nearly. Dec 01 00:43:40 * Molly nods, smiling happily Dec 01 00:43:56 We can be patient Dec 01 00:44:14 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:44:36 We're about to have fourteen weeks away, we can wait Dec 01 00:45:25 * Molly nods Dec 01 00:45:51 Oh... I will be sparkly this week. Thursday. Dec 01 00:46:08 Stay up late, see if we can trigger it? Dec 01 00:46:17 * Molly nods Dec 01 00:46:34 That's a good idea Dec 01 00:47:27 * Morgan nods Dec 01 00:47:34 I thought so Dec 01 00:47:47 * Molly smiles Dec 01 00:47:59 No practice runs before, like last time! Dec 01 00:48:50 No, probably best not Dec 01 00:49:21 * Molly smiles. Varick gets down Dec 01 00:49:28 V: Okay, I'm reasy Dec 01 00:49:52 * Morgan nods, taking his hand and leading them out of the church Dec 01 00:56:34 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 01 17:06:36 * Molly has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Dec 01 21:44:32 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Dec 01 22:31:49 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 01 22:33:11 * Molly nods Dec 01 22:33:11 Oh... I will be sparkly this week. Thursday. Dec 01 22:33:11 Stay up late, see if we can trigger it? Dec 01 22:33:11 * Molly nods Dec 01 22:33:11 That's a good idea Dec 01 22:33:13 * Morgan nods Dec 01 22:33:17 I thought so Dec 01 22:33:19 * Molly smiles Dec 01 22:33:21 No practice runs before, like last time! Dec 01 22:33:23 No, probably best not Dec 01 22:33:25 * Molly smiles. Varick gets down Dec 01 22:33:27 V: Okay, I'm reasy Dec 01 22:33:29 * Morgan nods, taking his hand and leading them out of the church Dec 01 22:38:49 *Lunch is ready when they get back. HH and Inga have returned from their interlude, and Inga has the baby on her lap, feeding him some mashed up food. HH is sat beside her. Zareen and Xsarlac sit next to each other, seeming to be getting on well. Molly puts their coats to one side. They have about forty five minutes before the ship naming Dec 01 22:41:03 * Morgan picks at the food, reading through the investment proposals in detail Dec 01 22:42:44 *It looks good. Witts knows what he is doing, clearly. Varick is helping to feed the baby too. Aside from that, they all eat peacefully* Dec 01 22:43:35 * MollyK keeps an eye on Morgan until he is done reading Dec 01 22:43:56 [is everything alright?] Dec 01 22:44:29 [Is there a reason it would not be?] Dec 01 22:47:29 [no... you seem busy...] Dec 01 22:51:00 [Just reading these proposals... I need to have an answer for Witts before we leave tomorrow. Best leave a note for mother asking if father or Jarvie would be interested in investing] Dec 01 22:52:28 [I'll take care of that this afternoon... *she sips her coffee, watching the rear window* You look very cute when you concentrate so hard...] Dec 01 22:54:13 [Nonsense] Dec 01 22:54:33 * Morgan closes the proposals, looking at the others for a moment before sipping his coffee Dec 01 22:54:44 [mmhmm. Sooo cute.] Dec 01 22:55:07 * MollyK is smirking a little, but not making eye contact Dec 01 22:55:25 *everyone else seems to be about finished* Dec 01 22:56:01 Busy day... Dec 01 22:57:04 *HH nods* good t' be back Dec 01 22:59:44 * Morgan nods Dec 01 22:59:52 The sailing though... Dec 01 23:01:00 HH:*he nods* y' did a good job, man Dec 01 23:02:25 * Morgan looks over at Xsarlac Dec 01 23:02:35 Capperlucia doesn't employ camels, does it? Dec 01 23:04:08 X: No, we don't have camels, only dragons Dec 01 23:04:32 * Morgan pulls a face Dec 01 23:04:38 I'm not terribly keen on those either Dec 01 23:06:09 * MollyK is now known as Xsarlac Dec 01 23:06:22 Most people never ride them Dec 01 23:06:38 Ride?! Dec 01 23:07:13 *Varick is staring open-mouthed and Molly sips her coffee. Zareen, HH, and Inga look disbelieving* Dec 01 23:07:48 Only the imperial family, usually Dec 01 23:08:14 Somewhat less... aggressive than the one I encountered then... Dec 01 23:10:30 They can be a bit temperamental. That's how we think she got lost Dec 01 23:11:00 * Morgan nods Dec 01 23:11:12 I'd like to see one... ideally not one intent on eating me Dec 01 23:11:59 They don't eat people until they're dead Dec 01 23:12:20 HH: $hang on, is he crazy or shitting us?!$ Dec 01 23:12:22 Not the one I encountered... Dec 01 23:12:42 $The former I've never been certain on... I doubt the latter$ Dec 01 23:13:05 V: You met a dragon?! Dec 01 23:13:20 * Morgan nods Dec 01 23:14:33 V: *he comes to sit on Morgan's lap* Dec 01 23:14:46 Was it as big as the Drachen? Dec 01 23:15:26 About that size, maybe a little smaller... I was really trying to get an idea of its size at the time Dec 01 23:17:30 X: Capperlucia has three dragons, a white one, a blue one, and a black one Dec 01 23:17:55 Three, total? Dec 01 23:19:42 That live on the islands, yes. We think there are more out there though Dec 01 23:21:05 * Morgan nods, sipping his coffee Dec 01 23:22:06 What about spiders? Big, ugly, neck bitey spiders? Dec 01 23:22:58 * Xsarlac shakes his head "no. Some harmless snakes. There's lots of birds" Dec 01 23:23:07 * Morgan nods Dec 01 23:23:10 I can live with that Dec 01 23:24:39 *Inga stands up, rocking the baby* Dec 01 23:25:04 V: Can I see a dragon when we get there? Dec 01 23:26:38 * Xsarlac nods "we will take a boat over. Molly will be quite busy, but Morgan and Heinzharold will be free to sightsee" Dec 01 23:27:11 * Morgan looks at him Dec 01 23:27:14 And her safety? Dec 01 23:28:45 The roads are flat, and our buildings are safe. We don't have any dangerous creatures Dec 01 23:29:01 Thats not entirely what I meant... Dec 01 23:29:10 What do you mean? Dec 01 23:30:06 We've encountered our share of people wishing to do us harm... given the task she has, I can imagine some people will be reluctant to allow that and might take matters into their own hands Dec 01 23:30:42 * Xsarlac shakes his head Dec 01 23:30:59 Not in Capperlucia. It's not violent like it is here Dec 01 23:31:25 * Morgan tilts his head Dec 01 23:31:31 So why are -you- so capable? Dec 01 23:32:27 It is tradition. Our lands used to be raided Dec 01 23:33:08 * Morgan nods Dec 01 23:33:11 Makes sense Dec 01 23:33:57 Our people are close. We are all related distantly, and our matriarchs are like mothers and grandmothers to us all Dec 01 23:34:51 V: what does matriarch mean? Dec 01 23:35:15 So, you know my father is the head of our family? Dec 01 23:35:25 V: Sort of. Dec 01 23:35:33 * Morgan nods Dec 01 23:35:47 If we were in Capperlucia, it would be my mother instead... Dec 01 23:36:00 V: But she's a girl! Dec 01 23:36:26 [oh dear...] Dec 01 23:36:34 * Morgan shrugs Dec 01 23:36:40 Thats just the way it is. Dec 01 23:37:17 V: But girls aren't as strong. Why do you want girls in charge? Dec 01 23:37:46 You think so? You know has the best chance of beating me in a fight? Dec 01 23:37:59 V: Claudia Dec 01 23:38:07 * Morgan nods Dec 01 23:38:14 She's a girl Dec 01 23:38:28 V: Are you -sure-? Dec 01 23:38:37 *HH chuckles* Dec 01 23:38:42 That she's a girl? Fairly. Dec 01 23:39:41 She will fit well in Capperlucia. Our women are formidable warriors as well as being good leaders Dec 01 23:40:59 V: I still don't get it. Boys are the leaders, because we're strong and smarter, aren't we, Papa? Dec 01 23:42:17 * Xsarlac doesn't look at all offended Dec 01 23:42:22 * Morgan shakes his head Dec 01 23:42:36 I don't really think so, no Dec 01 23:44:19 Men like competition and being an individual. It's led to many wars here. Rather than rule in harmony patriarchal countries like you have often end up with in-fighting Dec 01 23:44:54 V: We had a big War here, it went on forever! Dec 01 23:45:15 Not quite that long Dec 01 23:46:54 Was that the one over religion? Dec 01 23:47:02 * Morgan nods Dec 01 23:47:22 Even now a good number of people harbour ill feelings towards those of the other faith Dec 01 23:47:58 We only have one religion in Capperlucia, and it isn't regimented Dec 01 23:49:15 Howso? Dec 01 23:51:29 No one has to worship, like in Avalon, and we have no churches Dec 01 23:53:09 * Morgan nods Dec 01 23:54:16 V: you're not Objectionist -or- Vaticine?! Dec 01 23:54:25 * Xsarlac shakes his head Dec 01 23:54:45 We don't worship the God of Theah-Main Dec 01 23:56:27 what... who... do you worship? Dec 01 23:57:28 The Mother Of All Dec 01 23:57:45 Sounds almost pagan... Dec 01 23:58:04 How would you define pagan? Dec 01 23:58:37 In Avalon, pagan beliefs celebrate Theah and nature as the giver of life... Dec 01 23:58:50 * Xsarlac nods Dec 01 23:59:02 Then yes, we are probably pagan Dec 01 23:59:22 V: Is that like being Heathens? Will you go to Hell? Dec 01 23:59:41 [maybe it's time to go for the naming now?]
