**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jan 17 00:00:43 2023 Jan 17 00:00:43 Her Excellency seems more than capable, m'lord Jan 17 00:01:42 * Morgan nods Jan 17 00:01:44 Oh undoubtedly Jan 17 00:03:30 Your final ship will need a maiden voyage Jan 17 00:04:27 * Morgan nods Jan 17 00:04:32 She'll be finished before we're back Jan 17 00:06:03 Unless you commission another in the future. Keep going and there's always a final one to sail Jan 17 00:08:17 * Morgan laughs Jan 17 00:09:23 That'll be some time off... need to recoup some of the costs so far Jan 17 00:10:42 I'll do my best, m'lord Jan 17 00:11:46 Never doubted that for a second my friend. You hear about the offer I've made for your protoges? Jan 17 00:12:31 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 00:12:42 They'll do well Jan 17 00:13:11 * Morgan nods Jan 17 00:13:22 I'd prefer to have a personal connection and knowledge of my captains Jan 17 00:14:07 It's sensible to Jan 17 00:14:52 * Morgan nods Jan 17 00:17:38 aye... I've left instruction with Witts that that is my intention, and to keep it in mind when hiring crew Jan 17 00:17:52 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 00:18:21 He seems like a steady man Jan 17 00:19:14 He's certainly got the brains for it Jan 17 00:20:10 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 00:26:13 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jan 17 08:09:32 * Sorgi has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com) Jan 17 13:20:36 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Jan 17 14:28:08 * Morgan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Jan 17 14:28:16 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jan 17 15:32:16 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jan 17 18:35:43 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Jan 17 19:34:05 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Jan 17 19:39:25 I'd prefer to have a personal connection and knowledge of my captains Jan 17 19:39:25 It's sensible to Jan 17 19:39:25 * Morgan nods Jan 17 19:39:25 aye... I've left instruction with Witts that that is my intention, and to keep it in mind when hiring crew Jan 17 19:39:25 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 19:39:28 He seems like a steady man Jan 17 19:39:30 He's certainly got the brains for it Jan 17 19:39:32 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 19:40:52 [I have checked the mirrors, are you happy to speak to them in quiet hour?] Jan 17 19:41:46 [I think it'll be necessary given how many there are...] Jan 17 19:42:34 [i will tell them it is fine then. Edward wants to do it before it starts] Jan 17 19:42:59 [of course he does] Jan 17 19:43:30 [he won't deny Mina his company] Jan 17 19:45:47 [I suppose that is very important for them at the moment, given she found out about his speaking to Florrie Jan 17 19:49:43 [they just like to have intercourse multiple times a day, that's all] Jan 17 19:55:38 [well, yes, but they clearly don't have enough work to do] Jan 17 19:56:12 [maybe it takes so little time that it's not a problem!] Jan 17 19:56:30 [the work or the intercourse?] Jan 17 19:57:55 [I didn't ought to speculate...] Jan 17 20:00:00 [I'll tell Edward you were wondering which it was] Jan 17 20:01:00 [there might be some consequences of that, mon petit chou!] Jan 17 20:02:07 [possibly. I wonder if he'd excommunicate me from Graben] Jan 17 20:03:08 [I meant for your tattling that I was implying he was very fast!] *she sounds playful* Jan 17 20:04:03 [oh I doubt it. Besides, its not tattling, its -research-] Jan 17 20:04:16 [how so?] Jan 17 20:06:21 [making enquiries, gathering facts... definitely research into the commonality of being quick as a rabbit in the family...] Jan 17 20:08:29 [oh I think we can do some research of that as soon as you are free...] Jan 17 20:10:36 [I would imagine you can] Jan 17 20:13:16 [a pleasant thought to start the morning with... though you are more like a rabbit not in speed, but in location!] Jan 17 20:13:34 [You mean wherever and whenever?] Jan 17 20:14:11 [I mean outdoors, in the woods and the grass] Jan 17 20:15:46 [oh... yeah, thats accurate] Jan 17 20:16:19 [and soon on a blanket on the hot sand...] Jan 17 20:16:41 [maybe, maybe not. Don't relish sand...] Jan 17 20:17:30 [we will see, won't we?] Jan 17 20:17:55 [I suppose so] Jan 17 20:20:32 [I should get to my Thean lessons... I won't learn to wrap my tongue around it otherwise...] Jan 17 20:21:00 [no... you won't] Jan 17 20:21:49 [though you helped me do that with the hardness of Eisen...] Jan 17 20:22:42 [help you with that later, too] Jan 17 20:23:29 [mmhmm... pleasant daydreams, liebling, I'll be thinking of you, as always] Jan 17 20:23:55 * Morgan smiles slightly, looking out across the water Jan 17 20:26:30 *it all looks good. He came this way in early September, just after Dietlinde's birthday, and then before that on the Solemn Wind out of San Lorenzo, suddenly aware that with her having The Rose, Molly might leave even further than just to a house in Tawstock with Jaeger Jan 17 20:27:52 You think you'd prefer sailing shorter trips long term, cap'n? Jan 17 20:29:43 * MollyK is now known as Sorgi Jan 17 20:29:54 I don't have a preference, m'lord Jan 17 20:30:26 * Morgan nods Jan 17 20:30:30 Just happy to be sailing? Jan 17 20:32:27 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 20:32:32 I enjoy it Jan 17 20:32:54 * Morgan nods Jan 17 20:33:00 Six weeks solid at a time though? Jan 17 20:35:31 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 20:35:48 That doesn't bother me, I did longer in the War Jan 17 20:38:44 * Morgan nods Jan 17 20:38:59 Think the only time I did that long was while I was waiting for my wounds to heal enough to get back to some proper work Jan 17 20:42:31 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 20:43:50 I've had a few wounds that laid me up Jan 17 20:44:25 * Morgan nods Jan 17 20:44:38 Mine was my punishment... you ever tried sleeping facedown in a hammock? Jan 17 20:48:21 * Sorgi smiles slightly Jan 17 20:48:45 When your drinking is as bad as mine was, you soon learn not to, m'lord Jan 17 20:48:58 * Morgan nods Jan 17 20:49:14 While my back was healing I had to. Its distinctly uncomfortable Jan 17 20:50:37 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 20:51:06 It takes a long time to heal Jan 17 20:51:58 * Morgan nods, rubbing absently at the skin on his arm Jan 17 20:52:56 Yeah, it does. I remember the first night I could lay on my back without pain... I slept so well Jan 17 20:53:09 * Sorgi is watching Claudia Jan 17 20:53:35 How are you sleeping nowadays, m'lord? Jan 17 20:54:54 * Morgan looks at Claudia surrepticiously Jan 17 20:55:07 Less terror but still a lot of fear and pain. Jan 17 20:55:43 *Claudia looks focused and satisfied* Jan 17 20:55:52 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 20:56:07 Aside from the night at the Eisenfursts... that was all terror Jan 17 20:56:17 What happened? Jan 17 20:57:21 Dreamed of what would've happened when my cousin tried to poison Molly if one little thing was different... instead of sipping the drink and realising, she downed the whole thing... she was dead in minutes. Jan 17 20:57:38 * Sorgi nods seriously Jan 17 20:57:49 That would have been a travesty Jan 17 20:58:06 * Morgan breathes in and out slowly Jan 17 20:58:30 Unfortunately, my reaction to that dream gave the Ashkoven a little more power to affect me Jan 17 20:59:03 Claude said there'd been trouble Jan 17 20:59:40 Oh? Jan 17 20:59:56 Monsterous monks Jan 17 21:00:17 * Morgan nods Jan 17 21:00:56 They meddle with your dreams... drag out what will make you feel the most guilty... when they attack, they use that against you, until you -want- to die... then they consume part of your soul Jan 17 21:01:22 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 21:02:05 Evil bastards Jan 17 21:02:32 * Morgan nods Jan 17 21:02:59 They gave Varick a nightmare that his father was telling him he was going to hell for straying from the Vaticine way Jan 17 21:03:56 Varick's got to do what is right for him Jan 17 21:05:05 * Morgan nods Jan 17 21:05:18 Nearly kicked a monks head from his shoulders when I figured that out Jan 17 21:05:37 A real one? Jan 17 21:07:37 No, Ashkoven... Jan 17 21:07:56 I'm savage, not indiscriminate Jan 17 21:09:14 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 21:10:11 He's lucky to have you and Her Excellency Jan 17 21:10:56 He deserved better than he had Jan 17 21:12:18 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 21:12:36 He's coming along well Jan 17 21:12:55 * Morgan nods Jan 17 21:13:14 Yes, he is... he's going to be very upset when we have to leave Amir in Capperlucia Jan 17 21:36:08 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 21:36:44 He's a gentle boy Jan 17 21:37:08 * Morgan nods Jan 17 21:37:10 Yes, he is Jan 17 21:39:06 He's good with the cat Jan 17 21:39:32 * Morgan nods Jan 17 21:39:43 Very... he's good with animals overall actually Jan 17 21:40:48 Will you have many at your estate? Jan 17 21:41:07 Horses, my dog, cats I imagine... Jan 17 21:43:45 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 21:44:01 Are we taking on a goat and chickens in Jura, m'lord? Jan 17 21:46:03 For milk and eggs on the journey? Jan 17 21:47:03 Meat too on the way back if it's necessary Jan 17 21:47:28 * Morgan nods Jan 17 21:47:30 It'd make sense Jan 17 21:49:23 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 21:50:02 We're used to a diet of fish and sauerkraut, but the children will need better Jan 17 21:50:14 * Morgan smiles slightly Jan 17 21:50:24 You're not wrong Jan 17 21:53:20 I'll have some men build pens in the hold Jan 17 21:53:39 * Morgan nods Jan 17 21:53:47 Don't want those feathered bastards wandering the ship Jan 17 21:55:11 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 21:55:15 I'll see to it Jan 17 21:56:50 Give it to one of the men you're training to oversee... they need to learn being a captain isn't just being in charge of which way we're pointing Jan 17 21:57:30 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 21:57:37 As you wish, m'lord Jan 17 21:59:05 * Morgan nods, looking over at Claudia Jan 17 21:59:10 She's going to do just fine Jan 17 22:01:14 * Sorgi nods, smiling Jan 17 22:01:20 I never doubted it Jan 17 22:01:58 * Morgan nods Jan 17 22:02:20 I came up to give her some support... she doesn't need me up here at all does she Jan 17 22:03:56 Not sure she even needs £me-, m'lord Jan 17 22:04:36 Its different, knowing there's someone so skilled to back you if you get intro trouble though... Jan 17 22:05:08 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 22:05:19 I'm not going to leave her Jan 17 22:06:09 * Morgan watches him for a moment before nodding Jan 17 22:06:48 Then I'll go ask the commanding officer to be dismissed Jan 17 22:07:06 * Sorgi nods Jan 17 22:07:21 * Morgan inclines his head before heading for Claudia Jan 17 22:10:43 * Sorgi is now known as Claudia Jan 17 22:10:58 * Claudia is checking a map Jan 17 22:11:09 * Morgan waits patiently Jan 17 22:12:42 * Claudia looks up Jan 17 22:12:44 Yes? Jan 17 22:14:13 If I'm not needed, request permission to go below cap'n Jan 17 22:14:48 Aye, go on Jan 17 22:16:15 Aye cap'n Jan 17 22:16:28 * Morgan nods and promptly walks away, heading below deck Jan 17 22:25:14 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
