**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Dec 2 00:00:15 2022 Dec 02 00:00:15 * Morgan finishes his coffee, pushing back his chair Dec 02 00:00:21 We'll talk about it later Varick Dec 02 00:00:50 * Xsarlac still doesn't look offended "A curious mind is a good thing in a child" Dec 02 00:01:47 * Morgan nods Dec 02 00:01:56 *HH gets up too, looking over her shoulder at the baby. He smiles, then whispers something in her ear* Dec 02 00:02:40 Z, in thean: Are we going somewhere? Dec 02 00:03:24 We are going to name my new ship... you are welcome to join us if you wish but don't feel obliged to Dec 02 00:03:44 *Zareen nods* I'd like to do that Dec 02 00:05:28 *Coats are found, and the baby settled in the wrapping cloth. Xsarlac helps her into a cloak, but not instruction passes between them, their movements around each other seemingly automatic* Dec 02 00:06:16 * Morgan watches them for a moment before pulling on his coat with his Koertig cloak over the top Dec 02 00:06:48 Varick... I was wondering if you'd like to read an old poem that used to be used when ships were named? Dec 02 00:07:32 V: *he nods, Molly buttoning the old coat he insisted on wearing* I can read food Dec 02 00:07:36 Good* Dec 02 00:09:22 * Morgan nods, handing him some paper with the poem and toasts written on it Dec 02 00:09:41 V: This is long! Dec 02 00:09:55 HH: $thats what she said$ Dec 02 00:11:13 * Morgan nods Dec 02 00:11:36 It is, yes... but its... its how both navy's would name a ship Dec 02 00:12:02 * Xsarlac is now known as Varick Dec 02 00:12:09 I can do it, Papa Dec 02 00:13:13 * Morgan nods Dec 02 00:13:18 I'll help you if you get stuck Dec 02 00:13:32 *the others file out, HH and Inga whispering together, Xsarlac making sure Zareen is fine. Molly is bringing up the rear, lingering for Morgan and Varick Dec 02 00:14:57 * Morgan holds out his hand for Varick Dec 02 00:17:11 * Varick takes it Dec 02 00:17:41 * Morgan leads him out of the room and down towards the new ship Dec 02 00:19:48 *Their little group makes their way. There are dock workers there, Gottlieb senior and Sinan with his family. The new ship is bigger than the Star and the Wench, but far from the huge expanse of the Rose Dec 02 00:21:29 * Morgan arranged a crate for Varick to stand on, putting him atop it Dec 02 00:21:32 You ready? Dec 02 00:23:15 * Varick nods, holding the paper. Molly stands with the others, and Gottlieb holds the bottle waiting for Morgan to be ready for it Dec 02 00:23:48 * Morgan nods glancing round Dec 02 00:23:54 Go on then, nice and loud Dec 02 00:25:20 * Varick looks around. He starts to read it. Everyone pays attention. He finds a couple of words difficult Dec 02 00:26:27 * Morgan quietly helps him Dec 02 00:27:50 * Varick does a very good job, and looks proud when the people clap him, chest puffed out Dec 02 00:27:57 I did it, Papa! Dec 02 00:29:43 * Morgan nods, hugging him tightly Dec 02 00:29:50 Yes you did my boy, well done Dec 02 00:30:18 Do I do the bottle now, like Mama does? Dec 02 00:30:47 * Morgan nods Dec 02 00:30:49 Yes, you do Dec 02 00:32:14 * Varick takes the bottle from Gottlieb and says "Ladies and gentleman, I give you Storm Dancer. May Theus bless her and all who sail upon her!" Dec 02 00:33:00 * Varick swings the bottle hard at the ship, and it breaks to more cheers and applause Dec 02 00:33:19 Well done lad Dec 02 00:35:06 * Varick hugs Morgan "I like breaking things!" Dec 02 00:35:35 * Morgan laughs Dec 02 00:35:43 Its quite enjoyable isn't it Dec 02 00:36:43 * Varick nods. Molly comes over Dec 02 00:37:08 M: I'm so proud of you, Mauschen, you were wonderful! Dec 02 00:38:01 * Varick hugs her next. HH strolls over "We gonna go poke around?" Dec 02 00:38:29 * Morgan nods Dec 02 00:38:34 Aye, lets go have a look at her Dec 02 00:42:09 *There's no one else on board, but Sorgi and Claudia have come over too, so the nine of them go to look around. As with the Star, it's designed for practicality rather than leisure, but it still has Captain's quarters. There's two different crew rooms for flexibility, and the hold is huge. Dec 02 00:44:44 * Morgan runs his hand over the wood as he moves through the ship Dec 02 00:44:54 She's definitely sturdy... Dec 02 00:45:02 * Varick watches him, smiling to herself Dec 02 00:45:06 * Varick is now known as Molly Dec 02 00:45:32 HH: Could probably take a lot of canon fire before getting through them hulls Dec 02 00:45:39 * Morgan nods Dec 02 00:45:48 Thats the point... I'm going to patent the design Dec 02 00:46:28 HH: Wanna get on that this af'noon, b'fore anyone sees 'er and wants to do the same Dec 02 00:46:50 * Morgan nods Dec 02 00:47:14 Aye, I'll do that shortly... you'd need a close look at her to realise it... Dec 02 00:48:13 *they move into the captains quarters, Sorgi, Claudia, xsarlac, and Zareen are in the crew rooms. Inga whispers to Molly who shrugs, whispering back* Dec 02 00:48:21 HH: It's clever, man Dec 02 00:48:41 [problem?] Dec 02 00:49:03 She's heavier than another ship her size, but a damn sight safer Dec 02 00:49:20 [she's asking if we want to be left here alone to celebrate] Dec 02 00:49:58 HH: *he nods* makes sense to me, man. What y' gonna go with her? Dec 02 00:50:06 [I don't think thats necessary] Dec 02 00:50:40 [you do realise what she meant, yes?] Dec 02 00:50:45 Well, see, she floats on water so I'd probably have her do that... providing negotiations go well, she'll be running counterpoint to the Rose to Capperlucia Dec 02 00:50:54 [yes, to make love] Dec 02 00:51:12 [I was not sure if you'd realised] Dec 02 00:51:40 HH: They seem pretty happy with each other, I'd say yer in with a good chance Dec 02 00:51:52 [Puritytown is without its saint...] Dec 02 00:52:04 * Morgan shrugs Dec 02 00:52:10 maybe... not taking it for granted Dec 02 00:52:36 [I think I'll get some more oil before we leave, and we can be extra sure of that!] Dec 02 00:52:44 HH: Best way t' be Dec 02 00:53:09 [good idea] Dec 02 00:53:14 * Morgan nods Dec 02 00:53:24 * Molly glances to see if he's blushing Dec 02 00:54:44 There's plenty of trade elsewhere if it doesn't go well... but Xsarlac says he's going to put a good word in Dec 02 00:55:29 * Morgan is blushing slightly, though its hard to see in the light below deck Dec 02 00:56:06 V: where am I supposed to sleep, Mama? Dec 02 00:56:11 Hmm? Dec 02 00:56:32 V: when we sail on Storm Dancer, where do I sleep? Dec 02 00:59:00 We probably won't be sailing her Dec 02 00:59:26 V: Oh... but I named her! We have to sail on her some time, Papa! Dec 02 00:59:58 Thats not how it always works I'm afraid my son Dec 02 01:00:17 * Molly sighs "Okay, Papa" Dec 02 01:00:22 V* Dec 02 01:01:06 [would it be difficult to find crew enough to take her out to the river and back?] Dec 02 01:01:53 * Morgan calls for Sorgi Dec 02 01:02:18 * Molly is now known as Sorgi Dec 02 01:02:21 M'lord? Dec 02 01:02:56 Good to see you my friend... any chance of pulling together enough crew for a quick voyage... for the young man? Dec 02 01:03:56 * Sorgi nods Dec 02 01:03:58 Probably Dec 02 01:06:02 Would you see to it? Dec 02 01:07:19 * Sorgi nods "I'll send them over, unless you want me to Captain, m'lord?" Dec 02 01:07:41 Uhhh... No, I'll do it... thank you Sorgi Dec 02 01:07:59 * Sorgi nods, heading out Dec 02 01:08:26 HH: Mebbie Take Claudia too? Dec 02 01:09:18 * Morgan nods Dec 02 01:10:37 HH, to Inga: Did you throw up goin' to Picante? Dec 02 01:10:52 *Inga nods* Dec 02 01:11:07 HH: Me an' Inga can join you then Dec 02 01:11:22 Got it out of her system huh? Dec 02 01:12:29 HH: yeah, it's only th' first time if it's been a while Dec 02 01:15:14 Sounds good to me Dec 02 01:16:38 *Xsarlac and Zareen opt to return to the Rose, and the crew including Koen are there before long. The trip will have to be brief due to the light, and so they all rush to get into place, the others up on deck and Claudia standing beside Morgan* Dec 02 01:20:30 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Dec 02 01:20:39 * Sorgi has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 02 11:51:16 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Dec 02 12:01:45 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 02 12:05:48 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 02 14:07:35 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 02 14:07:51 * MollyK has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 02 14:10:36 Uhhh...

Varick stands at his other side, looking happy Dec 02 14:15:35 V: You're really a good Captain, Papa Dec 02 14:15:57 Still very new, Varick... still a lot to learn Dec 02 14:18:06 *It goes smoothly, helped by the crew being familiar with the port now. They break out into the river, other ships about their business out there. The clouds look heavier than before. Claudia is surreptitiously watching Morgan* Dec 02 14:18:28 Something you wish to say, Claudia? Dec 02 14:19:12 * Claudia smiles "You look happy, Captain." Dec 02 14:20:05 * Morgan nods, calling out orders to pick up some speed along the river for a short while Dec 02 14:20:23 What can I say? I've wanted this since I was Varicks age Dec 02 14:21:04 *The crew do so* Dec 02 14:21:15 Two new ships in a week Dec 02 14:21:25 * Morgan nods Dec 02 14:21:34 Going to find a solicitor when we get back to dock Dec 02 14:23:15 * Claudia has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Dec 02 14:23:56 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Dec 02 14:24:14 * Morgan makes the call to cast off, giving instructions for getting out of the berth and then out of the dock through the narrow entry Dec 02 14:24:14 * Claudia stands beside him, just watching, not specifically needed with so many crew.

Dec 02 14:49:12 Patent the design... Dec 02 14:59:51 * Claudia nods Dec 02 15:00:06 Make some money licensing your design? Dec 02 15:00:11 * Morgan nods Dec 02 15:00:21 Might offer exclusive rights to Gottlieb... Dec 02 15:03:39 * Claudia nods Dec 02 15:03:46 Good idea, for a fee Dec 02 15:03:52 * Morgan nods Dec 02 15:04:02 Gonn' have to leave that to Witts to sort out Dec 02 15:06:05 * Claudia nods Dec 02 15:06:15 That's what you're paying him for Dec 02 15:06:39 * Morgan nods, calling for an adjustment of course before glancing back at her, speaking quietly Dec 02 15:06:43 I fucking love this Dec 02 15:07:51 * Claudia nods Dec 02 15:07:58 Not much better than sailing Dec 02 15:09:01 * Morgan nods, checking the height of the sun Dec 02 15:09:31 *they've got about fifteen minutes before needing to turn back* Dec 02 15:10:46 * Morgan looks over at the others Dec 02 15:13:10 *They're happily pointing out other ships to Varick.

Dec 02 15:23:39 * Claudia is now known as Molly Dec 02 15:24:16 * Morgan nods Dec 02 15:24:18 Aye love Dec 02 15:27:30 * Molly looks at him fondly Dec 02 15:27:37 So many ships, so little time... Dec 02 15:27:47 Behave yourself young lady Dec 02 15:29:13 * Molly tilts her head Dec 02 15:29:26 I was actually not being at all suggestive! Dec 02 15:29:35 No? Dec 02 15:29:47 * Molly shakes her head Dec 02 15:30:26 I really did mean just for the joy of sailing. *she fakes horror* Have I become Saint Molly Of Puritytown?! Dec 02 15:30:45 Might have done Dec 02 15:32:38 Oh dear! I think someone should break me of that! *now the mischief in her eyes is very clear* Dec 02 15:32:55 Maybe... maybe you'll just have to endure it for a while Dec 02 15:34:05 Mmmmhmmm. Whatever you wish, my love. Dec 02 15:34:25 * Morgan watches the other traffic on the river Dec 02 15:34:48 * Molly frowns slightly before doing the same Dec 02 15:35:37 Do you still have that rope? Dec 02 15:36:40 On my arm, yes Dec 02 15:37:04 * Morgan nods Dec 02 15:37:05 Good Dec 02 15:38:29 That pleases you? Dec 02 15:38:45 * Morgan nods Dec 02 15:38:48 Yes, it does Dec 02 15:38:59 * Molly nods, smiling Dec 02 15:40:34 I'll let you get back to work rather than lingering here by the mast and distracting you with thoughts of rope *she smirks, blowing him a kiss before moving away* Dec 02 15:41:35 * Morgan calls out a few adjustments to the sails Dec 02 15:43:18 *the crew get on with this. He can hear Varick and the others laughing* Dec 02 15:53:18 *The light is a little less when they get to the dock again. Claudia and HH pitch in, it's going to be a bit tougher than anticipated* Dec 02 15:54:24 * Morgan gives instructions for watch to be kept on either side of the ship, with instructions to be called if they get close before starting to give instructions to the crew to get the ship between the walls Dec 02 15:55:43 *it takes longer than he would like, and is quite mentally strenuous, but they manage it without harm* Dec 02 15:56:22 * Morgan gets them into the berth with orders to moor quickly Dec 02 15:57:26 *they do so, and the crew square away. HH pats his shoulder* Well done, Cap'n Dec 02 15:57:48 * Morgan nods Dec 02 15:57:50 Thank you man Dec 02 15:59:39 HH: you guys all done here, or coming back in a bit? Dec 02 16:00:03 I think... we're all done... I need to go see a solicitor Dec 02 16:02:53 HH: I'll get this rabble back t' the Rose. We crackin' open that drink tonight? Dec 02 16:03:20 * Morgan nods Dec 02 16:03:23 Aye, lets do that Dec 02 16:06:18 HH: Girls can have that Aveb'ry one Dec 02 16:06:41 We'll see... Dec 02 16:08:40 HH: *he goes over to the others, leaving Morgan free to depart* Dec 02 16:09:09 * Morgan pats the rail as he heads down the gangplank, going in search of a solicitor Dec 02 16:13:27 *After asking around, he gets the details for the house for one, but on A Sunday the man in question is likely to be spending time with family rather than working* Dec 02 16:13:53 * Morgan sighs, going to find Witts Dec 02 16:16:10 *Witts is found in the little rooms he's rented above the small office he'll be working from* Dec 02 16:16:29 * Morgan knocks Dec 02 16:18:08 * Molly is now known as Witts Dec 02 16:18:16 Come in, it's open Dec 02 16:18:28 * Morgan goes inside Dec 02 16:18:36 Sorry to disturb you...

I didn't think you'd be back until tomorrow, my lo Dec 02 16:20:29 Lord* Dec 02 16:21:43 I wasn't planning to but... we took the new ship out and something occurred to me... the design needs to be patented... I was thinking of licensing its use to the Gottliebs... Dec 02 16:21:56 * Witts nods Dec 02 16:22:09 How much do you want to charge them per ship? Dec 02 16:22:24 * Morgan shrugs Dec 02 16:22:49 As with many ideas, I haven't gotten that far... I thought perhaps you would excel with the task... Dec 02 16:23:16 * Witts nods "I'll ask around and see what the going rate is" Dec 02 16:24:34 * Morgan nods, putting the design paper down Dec 02 16:25:12 I've looked through your proposals... they're very good Dec 02 16:25:51 * Witts smiles "thank you, my Lord" Dec 02 16:26:45 I think it'll be the way to go... need to find out if Jarvie and my father would be interested before laying out the option for them Dec 02 16:28:03 * Witts nods "I can write on your behalf if you wish?" Dec 02 16:28:32 * Morgan nods Dec 02 16:29:15 Please do... may as well get the ball rolling. If only one of them is interested, present them with the proposal for the two investors... Edward will be interested. Dec 02 16:30:18 * Witts nods "Very good, my Lord, I'll see to it" Dec 02 16:30:46 * Morgan nods Dec 02 16:31:01 I think we'll be sailing as soon as there's enough light Dec 02 16:32:03 * Witts nods "Safe travels then. I hope it goes well" Dec 02 16:32:19 * Morgan inclines his head Dec 02 16:32:41 I'd appreciate if you kept Edward in the loop with any happenings while we're away Dec 02 16:33:00 Completely in the loop? Financial details too? Dec 02 16:34:04 Only big events financially, emergencies et cetera.
