**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Feb 24 00:00:30 2023 Feb 24 00:00:30 I think I know where the ship is. There's probably others here, but that's the one I wish to see most Feb 24 00:00:39 * Morgan nods Feb 24 00:00:42 Me too Feb 24 00:00:47 Ridiculous as it sounds Feb 24 00:01:01 * Molly shakes her head Feb 24 00:01:12 It's not ridiculous, it's nice Feb 24 00:01:25 I, uhh... I mean the ship Feb 24 00:01:46 Oh. Yes, it really does Feb 24 00:02:39 * Molly makes idly small talk the rest of the journey, but it's somewhat hard to ignore her comments about what they saw in the garden Feb 24 00:06:14 ACTION is wrong about where the ship was, it's much further down the docks, but the longer walk doesn't spoil her enthusiasm. The breeze is messing her hair up, and that doesn't seem to bother her either. She is very knowledgeable about ships, and comments on every one that they pass, talking about methods and materials and designs. Eventually Feb 24 00:06:14 they get to the last berth. The light is golden, it must be after eight o'clock already Feb 24 00:09:25 *the ship is in dry dock, their vantage point looking down on it. It's still bare bones, up to the level of large rooms as well as small passenger rooms. The three masts are about their eye line. There's steps down to it too, and materials down there. She shakes her head, smiling* Feb 24 00:09:40 She's huge! Are they mad?! Feb 24 00:09:49 That is... absurd Feb 24 00:10:12 * Molly is leaning against the rail. The absurdity seems to delight her Feb 24 00:10:27 My god, ducks will be faster! Feb 24 00:11:17 * Morgan laughs Feb 24 00:11:33 I just... its insane Feb 24 00:12:06 * Molly laughs too, clapping her hands in a childlike manner of joy Feb 24 00:12:21 Oh god, it's just so awful that it is brilliant! Feb 24 00:12:36 * Morgan nods Feb 24 00:12:57 She'll wallow about... slowly... Feb 24 00:13:07 * Molly looks it over again, grinning Feb 24 00:13:35 They should call her The Final Song... Feb 24 00:13:42 Final song? Feb 24 00:14:03 Because it isn't over until the fat lady sings, and she's a big ol' girl! Feb 24 00:14:12 * Morgan nods Feb 24 00:14:15 She's definitely that Feb 24 00:14:27 * Molly points to the large rooms Feb 24 00:14:40 Do you think one of them will be the ballroom?! Feb 24 00:15:03 * Morgan points Feb 24 00:15:06 I reckon its there Feb 24 00:15:23 * Molly looks at it Feb 24 00:17:00 That makes sense... that one there looks like a galley, so you'd want your dining space next to that... yes, I think you're right... *she looks to the exposed ribs on the ship's port side, thoughtful* Feb 24 00:17:36 * Morgan watches her for a moment Feb 24 00:17:43 Uhh... Molly... Feb 24 00:18:03 * Molly looks at him, still smiling "yes?" Feb 24 00:18:20 * Morgan watches her intently Feb 24 00:19:37 * Molly watches him back, her breathing becoming a little deeper, her cheeks flushing a little. Peripherally, he notices her lips part Feb 24 00:19:59 I, ummm... I like you... very much... Feb 24 00:20:37 * Molly nods, smiling gently "I like you very much too..." she watches his face Feb 24 00:21:13 Like, ummm... -really- like you Feb 24 00:22:13 * Molly blushes a little more "I really, -really-, --really-- like you. Like more than a friend." Feb 24 00:22:32 * Morgan nods Feb 24 00:23:40 * Molly watches him a moment longer "but what about the girl you're in love with...?" Feb 24 00:25:47 I realised this morning... its been a while since I asked if I had any messages... just as its been a while since I actually got any... Feb 24 00:26:00 * Molly nods Feb 24 00:26:24 Alright *she continues to watch him* Feb 24 00:27:15 I... would very much like to kiss you Feb 24 00:27:24 * Molly nods Feb 24 00:27:31 I'd like that Feb 24 00:27:48 * Morgan nods, moving closer and gently pressing his lips to hers Feb 24 00:28:43 * Molly turns from the railings so she can easily kiss him back. It's gentle, but it's not hesitant or as if it's new to her Feb 24 00:29:59 * Morgan pulls away after a short time, looking at her Feb 24 00:30:10 * Molly is smiling Feb 24 00:30:29 Yes, I definitely did like that Feb 24 00:30:39 * Morgan smiles, nodding Feb 24 00:30:41 Me too Feb 24 00:30:53 * Molly kisses him then Feb 24 00:31:43 * Morgan looks surprised but kisses her back Feb 24 00:31:51 * Molly makes a little "mmm" noise Feb 24 00:33:49 * Morgan carries on for a few moments before pulling away Feb 24 00:33:55 * Molly pulls away suddenly "metal! That's what is shiny!" Feb 24 00:34:16 Uhhh... what? Feb 24 00:34:42 * Molly looks excited "here, just hold me stable, okay?" Feb 24 00:35:30 alriiiight... Feb 24 00:35:32 * Molly starts climbing the railings for height. He's end up with his face in her lower back and arms round her thighs Feb 24 00:35:43 * Morgan holds on to her Feb 24 00:36:14 * Molly smells nicely of fabric washed with rose water and line dried Feb 24 00:36:31 What -are- you doing? Feb 24 00:36:47 It goes up the mast too!! They are actually, certifiably crazy! Feb 24 00:37:09 Metal? Feb 24 00:37:28 Hold me tighter, okay? Feb 24 00:37:35 * Morgan does so Feb 24 00:38:08 * Molly leans further forward. The only thing that stops her falling to her death right now is him Feb 24 00:38:27 What in the ever-loving fuck?! Feb 24 00:38:36 What? Feb 24 00:38:55 I... I think it's dracheneisen?! Feb 24 00:39:46 Thats... no, that can't be Feb 24 00:39:55 Get me down? Feb 24 00:40:11 * Morgan lifts her away from the edge, putting her down gently Feb 24 00:41:11 * Molly kisses his cheek swiftly, hers barely had time to register it before she's flitted off to the steps going down to the dry deck Feb 24 00:41:15 Come on! Feb 24 00:41:26 * Morgan follows her Feb 24 00:41:42 Why would they put that in the... where would they -get- that to put in the ship? Feb 24 00:42:42 * Molly twists her skirts, tucking them up at the front, calves on display. It's reminiscent of Zench's mistress's on the table* Feb 24 00:42:56 I dont' know! But I need to know if I'm right! Feb 24 00:43:19 * Morgan nods, following her, watching her calves Feb 24 00:44:10 *they're pale and smooth and soft looking. She makes fast progress* Feb 24 00:46:56 *there's a metal gate they'll need to climb, and she is straight up it. From his position below, he gets a flash of the back of her thighs, something normally so very hidden and private* if we can just get in there... Feb 24 00:47:16 * Morgan clears his throat, looking away Feb 24 00:47:34 Are you coming? Feb 24 00:47:41 Just as soon as you're decent... Feb 24 00:48:13 * Molly gets to the other side Feb 24 00:48:21 Okay, I'm down Feb 24 00:48:33 * Morgan glances round before scaling the gate with alarming ease Feb 24 00:49:08 * Molly watches him do this, smiling "I definitely liked that, too!" Feb 24 00:49:29 * Morgan blushes Feb 24 00:49:45 Perks of being a sailor *he looks toward the ship* over there? Feb 24 00:50:15 * Molly heads that way, towards the ship and the materials Feb 24 00:50:25 I can climb like that in trousers Feb 24 00:50:41 * Morgan nods Feb 24 00:50:51 Bit... awkward in a skirt I imagine Feb 24 00:50:56 * Molly nods Feb 24 00:51:26 I don't have to worry about flashing my bottom when it's already easy to see *she sticks her tongue out at him* Feb 24 00:51:38 * Morgan blushes Feb 24 00:52:07 * Molly laughs softly, heading to the ship. She looks dwarfed by it Feb 24 00:52:26 I stand by what I said... that thing is -absurd- Feb 24 00:53:11 * Molly nods, going to the wood and crouching down. In trousers, there'd be no hiding anything Feb 24 00:53:34 * Morgan goes to look Feb 24 00:54:16 It's the most ridiculous thing I've-... oh my god. Look at this! Feb 24 00:55:40 * Molly pokes her finger against a metal circle about an inch in diameter. It's that dark pewter grey of his family panzerhand Feb 24 00:56:52 No... that is dracheneisen Feb 24 00:57:03 What the hell?! Feb 24 00:57:36 And it looks like that on the ribs, and the masts too! Feb 24 00:57:39 * Morgan looks toward the ship Feb 24 00:57:57 That must have cost a fortune... and to find someone willing to sell them the stuff too... Feb 24 00:58:14 * Molly looks at the plank, turning it Feb 24 00:58:27 You'd never know it was there either! Feb 24 00:59:23 Is it in all the planks? Feb 24 00:59:38 * Molly has a look Feb 24 00:59:58 No... the exterior ones... Feb 24 01:00:27 So the hull, the ribs and the masts... Feb 24 01:00:57 Which means almost certainly in the keel too Feb 24 01:01:09 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:01:13 Makes no sense Feb 24 01:01:53 That's preposterous! *she does a calculation, giving an unfathomable weight of dracheneisen* Feb 24 01:02:24 They'll put her in the water and she'll bloody sink. Her displacements too big, her weight far too high Feb 24 01:02:40 * Molly nods Feb 24 01:03:00 Absolutely! The ducks will be faster and still floating! Feb 24 01:03:09 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:03:13 Absolutely mad Feb 24 01:03:54 But no one could have sold them that much! Put every family's together and we haven't all a tenth of that weight! Feb 24 01:04:04 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:04:16 So where the hell did they get it? Must've come from a mine Feb 24 01:04:37 More than one, surely, or the mine would collapse! Feb 24 01:04:49 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:05:03 Costly and pointless Feb 24 01:05:39 But the owner is a nobody... I don't think he's even a Freiarr! Feb 24 01:05:48 No? Who is it? Feb 24 01:06:10 Felix something. Feb 24 01:06:26 * Morgan shrugs Feb 24 01:06:28 Means nothing to me Feb 24 01:07:00 Me either... *she glances back along the ship, shaking her head* it makes no sense! Feb 24 01:07:16 * Morgan shakes his head, looking round Feb 24 01:07:46 * Molly stands up, smiling "suddenly the ballroom is the least of her absurdity!" Feb 24 01:07:56 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:08:00 Quite Feb 24 01:08:12 *he spots what looks to be two children playing by the prow* Feb 24 01:08:39 Its like every time you learn something crazy, it goes 'hang on, there's this too'... children up by the prow Feb 24 01:08:54 *they're in the shadows, so he can only make out their vague size* Feb 24 01:09:09 * Molly watches Feb 24 01:09:24 I... think maybe we should go... Feb 24 01:09:37 And leave children playing in a dry dock?! Feb 24 01:09:52 I don't think they're children Feb 24 01:10:00 Dwarves? Feb 24 01:10:10 Nieblungen. Feb 24 01:10:23 * Molly starts to climb the gate again Feb 24 01:10:23 Now that -is- absurd Feb 24 01:10:43 Don't worry about my decency right now! Feb 24 01:11:11 * Morgan nods, moving to follow her over the gate Feb 24 01:11:42 * Molly gets to the other side before hightailing it up the steps, calves still on show Feb 24 01:12:12 * Morgan follows her quickly Feb 24 01:13:32 * Molly keeps running even on the dock, until she's put a few more ships between them and the small figures. She rests against the rail, flushed and breathing hard, much as he'd seen Heinzharold leave camp girls Feb 24 01:13:39 Holy shit, Feb 24 01:13:43 ! Feb 24 01:13:50 Nieblungen? Really?! Feb 24 01:14:15 Yes! My grandfather drummed it into me that if I ever saw one I should run Feb 24 01:14:53 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:14:56 Alright... Feb 24 01:15:20 * Molly exhales in a rush before slowly grinning Feb 24 01:15:33 Wow, that was an adventure! Feb 24 01:15:38 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:15:42 Still going to sink Feb 24 01:15:49 * Molly nods Feb 24 01:16:01 Thankfully that isn't our problem! Feb 24 01:16:15 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:16:36 No... our problems are entirely different Feb 24 01:16:41 * Molly watches him, looking happy Feb 24 01:16:43 Yes? Feb 24 01:17:05 * Morgan holds out his hand Feb 24 01:17:12 * Molly takes Feb 24 01:17:16 It Feb 24 01:17:30 We should probably head back... Feb 24 01:17:36 * Molly nods Feb 24 01:18:13 Before we turn up so late that they're doing -that- in the drawing room? Feb 24 01:18:24 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:18:29 Aye Feb 24 01:18:54 * Molly watches him a moment, then smiles, walking beside him Feb 24 01:20:21 I suppose tomorrow we'll need to talk about the future? Feb 24 01:20:30 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:20:35 I think that'd be a good idea Feb 24 01:20:40 * Molly nods Feb 24 01:21:23 What about if we just walk back to Zench's as if we're madly in love and have a wonderful future before us? Feb 24 01:21:35 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:21:38 I'd like that Feb 24 01:22:17 * Molly smiles "I'd definitely like that. And maybe if we tell ourselves that enough, it will come true?" Feb 24 01:22:56 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:23:00 Worth a shot I suppose Feb 24 01:24:55 * Molly nods, holding his hand in both of hers, and leaning her cheek to his arm. It's nice, the evening is warmly, there's plenty to look at, and the blue tone of the light makes her hair even lovelier. Then he realises he is dreaming* Feb 24 01:25:27 * Morgan tries to wake up Feb 24 01:27:05 * Molly has her cheek to his arm in reality, sleeping peacefully. There's no disapproving Ducal Godfather or two Eisenfursts vying for her hand, just -his- Molly, and their future together* Feb 24 01:27:21 * Morgan tries to get an idea for the time Feb 24 01:27:46 *it's about the time he's normally wake. The Rose is still* Feb 24 01:28:10 * Morgan climbs out of bed, getting dressed quickly Feb 24 01:28:46 * Molly just turns over, making a soft mmm of a happy dream Feb 24 01:29:41 * Morgan gets his things, heading straight for the deck Feb 24 01:30:06 * Molly is now known as Claudia Feb 24 01:31:02 * Claudia seems to be the one on duty, only a couple of others there. The sails are furled and the anchor's dropped Feb 24 01:31:45 * Morgan goes straight to her Feb 24 01:31:51 How far? Feb 24 01:32:47 Well, if it was like that every night, we are shaving eleven days off the trip. Feb 24 01:33:13 Fuck me.... *he looks round* I know -what- is special but not -why- Feb 24 01:33:32 * Claudia watches him "Morgan. That's each way." Feb 24 01:34:19 That makes it... four weeks three days each way Feb 24 01:34:41 Approximately, yes Feb 24 01:35:08 alright... alright... Feb 24 01:35:48 Instead of arriving on the twenty six, it would be about the fourteenth... two weeks today. Feb 24 01:36:07 * Morgan nods, fidgeting Feb 24 01:36:11 How you feeling? Feb 24 01:36:46 Like I want to rip off my own skin and give it a soak and a line dry. Feb 24 01:37:13 * Morgan sighs, nodding Feb 24 01:37:20 You? Feb 24 01:37:47 I don't really want to have to sail back to Avalon to find a crew I don't trust just so they won't be freaked out so much... Feb 24 01:38:38 No, they need to suck it up. Capperlucia can crew us in an emergency, so they have to wait out a fortnight at least Feb 24 01:39:27 Capperlucians won't understand it... not like we can Feb 24 01:39:47 Magic is normal there Feb 24 01:40:06 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:40:14 Dracheneisen isn't Feb 24 01:40:23 * Claudia frowns Feb 24 01:40:26 What? Feb 24 01:41:05 * Morgan watches her for a moment Feb 24 01:41:39 When Molly first got the ship, I had a look underneath... figured she's a pirate ship originally, given the keel and how the masts are fixed... Feb 24 01:41:49 Right? Feb 24 01:42:30 I've had some... insight... she's -riddled- with Dracheneisen... the keel, the hull, the ribs, the masts... they've all got the stuff running through them Feb 24 01:42:56 * Claudia looks like she'll argue, then just sighs Feb 24 01:42:57 Okay Feb 24 01:43:25 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:43:36 Certain? Feb 24 01:43:42 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:43:45 Absolutely Feb 24 01:44:15 Right. It's a miracle we fucking float at all Feb 24 01:44:42 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:44:53 Name Felix mean anything to you? Feb 24 01:45:03 Nope, why? Feb 24 01:45:21 Thats who it was commissioned by... supposedly Feb 24 01:47:17 And you're thinking...? Feb 24 01:47:46 Like I said, I know what, not why... but... Nieblungen were seen on the ship, doing... something... Feb 24 01:50:13 * Claudia nods Feb 24 01:50:31 Right... sounds like saving the world shit then Feb 24 01:51:14 Does a little bit... now how the fuck do I sell that to the crew? Feb 24 01:51:31 * Claudia raises her hands Feb 24 01:51:41 Not a fucking clue Feb 24 01:51:52 I forgot you're not the smart one Feb 24 01:52:28 * Claudia grimaces "just for tonight, I'll grudgingly admit it" Feb 24 01:53:11 * Morgan nods Feb 24 01:53:29 Y'know I said that double hulled ship will be much stronger? Feb 24 01:53:36 Yeah Feb 24 01:53:40 Yeah not so much Feb 24 01:53:56 So how th' fuck did Dau sink her? Feb 24 01:54:17 Blew the magazine... Feb 24 01:54:49 * Claudia nods Feb 24 01:55:20 So how did no one see the Dracheneisen when they salvaged her or refloated her? Feb 24 01:55:40 Fucked if I know Feb 24 01:55:59 You actually-see- the salvage? Feb 24 01:56:06 No, I didn't Feb 24 01:56:17 See it happen? Feb 24 01:56:56 * Morgan shakes his head Feb 24 01:57:07 Just the sea monster that came to tell us Feb 24 01:57:39 Sea m-... nope. Saw it getting fixed? Feb 24 01:58:45 Not a real sea monster, an Avalonian one... so not really worth mentioning... and no, I didn't Feb 24 01:58:59 Molly must have though? Feb 24 01:59:12 * Morgan shrugs Feb 24 01:59:14 dunno Feb 24 01:59:15 *she was definitely down in Tawstock a lot* Feb 24 01:59:22 She was in Tawstock a lot Feb 24 01:59:55 Might want to see her before seeing the crew then Feb 24 02:00:13 * Morgan nods Feb 24 02:00:17 And Sorgi? Feb 24 02:00:34 Give him another hour of sleep if we can Feb 24 02:00:46 * Morgan nods Feb 24 02:02:42 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 24 02:03:59 * Claudia has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Feb 24 02:07:07 * MorganK (~madisonst@Madisons-Air.lan) has joined Feb 24 02:07:46 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Feb 24 02:09:12 * MollyK checks the time "that'll be fine. Did you get any sleep?" Feb 24 02:09:37 obviously Feb 24 02:10:15 Sorry, I'm tired Feb 24 02:10:46 You been on all night? Feb 24 02:10:59 * MollyK is now known as Claudia Feb 24 02:11:06 No, just awake all night Feb 24 02:11:37 You want Molly to put you under for a bit? Feb 24 02:12:11 No, maybe later Feb 24 02:13:51 * MorganK nods, looking at her Feb 24 02:13:57 You in charge right now? Feb 24 02:14:16 Yeah, why? Feb 24 02:14:41 I'll take over for ten minutes, go get some coffee Feb 24 02:15:06 * Claudia nods, suddenly hugging him Feb 24 02:15:21 Oh... hey now, its alright Feb 24 02:15:32 * MorganK hugs her tightly Feb 24 02:15:43 I am hugging you, dickhead Feb 24 02:16:03 I know.... Its... surprising thats all Feb 24 02:16:22 * Claudia nods, letting go Feb 24 02:16:27 I'll be back Feb 24 02:16:40 Fucking hope so, can't go far Feb 24 02:17:37 * Claudia nods, going below Feb 24 02:17:46 * MorganK busies himself Feb 24 02:18:25 * Claudia is back before long, giving him coffee and freeing him to get on with things Feb 24 02:18:43 *its around quarter after six* Feb 24 02:19:11 * MorganK goes to put his hand on the mast before heading down to wake Molly Feb 24 02:20:15 * Claudia is now known as Molly Feb 24 02:20:52 * Molly is sprawled in the middle of the bed, the pillow still beside her Feb 24 02:21:15 * MorganK rouses her gently Feb 24 02:21:28 blossom... I need to talk to you Feb 24 02:21:41 Mmm... good morning... Feb 24 02:22:04 Hey love. Need to ask you some questions... Feb 24 02:22:30 Mmhmm... I'm all yours Feb 24 02:23:00 When the Rose was sunk... did you actually see the damage... or the salvage... or the repair? Feb 24 02:23:33 Yes, some of it Feb 24 02:23:45 What did it look like? How bad was it? Feb 24 02:24:05 * Molly sits up, stretching Feb 24 02:26:26 It looked like bits of wood, mostly... but I didn't see her sink, just her masts in the water. So then wood from the salvagers. I visited once for the repairs, but she was in dry dock, so I didn't actually see her Feb 24 02:26:47 * MorganK nods slowly Feb 24 02:28:23 It's always niggled at me though... I made a lot back from the salvage, but there was enough of the Rose to fix her. It was still very expensive, but it should have been more Feb 24 02:28:35 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:28:39 I was thinking similar Feb 24 02:28:50 Why, liebling? Feb 24 02:29:00 I had a dream... Feb 24 02:29:07 * Molly giggles Feb 24 02:29:11 Oh, I know! Feb 24 02:29:25 After that one Feb 24 02:29:36 What was it? Feb 24 02:29:49 The one where Edward had eloped with Mina, you recall? Feb 24 02:30:14 Yes, I was going to marry Faulk so you and Dietlinde could be together Feb 24 02:31:19 Yes, and Edward gave me a lecture about whether or not Dietlinde would be happy being a Grafin... anyway, all of that complicated stuff aside... you told me about a ship being built, stupidly large, and we persuaded Edward and Mina to act as chaperones so we could go and see it... Feb 24 02:31:35 It was the Rose? Feb 24 02:31:44 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:31:59 We went and looked at her in dry dock, barely a skeleton of a ship... Feb 24 02:32:11 * Molly nods, smiling Feb 24 02:32:20 That must have been fascinating! Feb 24 02:32:25 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:33:04 Particularly when we saw the timber... the masts, the ribs, the hull and likely the keel... its reinforced with Dracheneisen Feb 24 02:33:30 * Molly looks around the room Feb 24 02:33:43 Wow... that's... Feb 24 02:33:49 Fucking heavy Feb 24 02:34:14 Oh! I saw a piece of salvage that I thought had a steel bar in it! Feb 24 02:34:39 * MorganK sends her an image of the plank with the grey metal running through it Feb 24 02:35:04 *she sends him one of a similar but charred timber* Feb 24 02:35:12 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:35:39 I don't know how that causes the effects we've seen or if it does even... Feb 24 02:36:07 *she nods, but she's distracted* Wow... she's the most valuable thing on Theah... Feb 24 02:36:27 No... that'd be you... Feb 24 02:37:09 * Molly blushes, caught off-guard Feb 24 02:37:17 Thank you, my love Feb 24 02:37:31 * MorganK inclines his head briefly Feb 24 02:37:43 * Molly thinks Feb 24 02:38:01 You would need the Nibelungen to doit Feb 24 02:38:48 We saw them on the ship Feb 24 02:39:20 How did we explain -them- to our chaperones?! Feb 24 02:39:42 They stayed with Zench and Heidi... it was just us Feb 24 02:39:51 Risky! Feb 24 02:40:12 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:40:31 So the Nibelungen have been involved in making the Rose... Feb 24 02:40:41 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:41:04 Then this sounds like meddling. Feb 24 02:41:12 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:41:20 How the hell do we explain that to the crew? Feb 24 02:41:46 Hmmm... my head isn't ready quite this quick! Feb 24 02:42:01 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:42:24 Sorgi decided to run with the sails unfurled last night, see what happens... Feb 24 02:42:34 And? Feb 24 02:43:05 We went along at half her top speed -on top- Feb 24 02:43:27 * Molly blinks rapidly Feb 24 02:43:43 I'm sorry, a hundred and fifty percent speed?! Feb 24 02:43:56 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:44:21 By my reckoning thats coming on for twice the speed of any other ship Feb 24 02:44:38 Good lord! Feb 24 02:44:43 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:44:59 If we kept that up, we'd knock -eleven- days off our journey Feb 24 02:45:16 Wow, that's good! Feb 24 02:45:29 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:45:30 Each way Feb 24 02:45:43 * Molly just stares open-mouthed Feb 24 02:46:12 So... is this just a side effect of their meddling, or is she trying to help us along? Feb 24 02:46:48 Or both? Does the Dracheneisen connect her to the Mind of the Mines? Feb 24 02:47:30 I don't know if that still happens once its been worked Feb 24 02:49:57 * Molly gets out of bed, going completely naked to the bedroom window, the predawn light illuminating the edges of her. She tries to use her magic on the wall. Nothing happens Feb 24 02:50:22 Does that answer that? Feb 24 02:50:42 I think so. *she stretches* Feb 24 02:51:02 Why don't they just tell us these things?! Feb 24 02:51:17 Too easy Feb 24 02:51:40 Mmm. Well, perhaps when we get home that needs to change Feb 24 02:51:54 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:51:55 agreed Feb 24 02:52:26 * Molly comes to embrace him Feb 24 02:52:31 How are you? Feb 24 02:52:48 anxious. I'm not sure how to deal with all this Feb 24 02:53:08 * Molly nods Feb 24 02:53:14 Is Heinzharold up? Feb 24 02:54:02 I've not seen him yet Feb 24 02:54:34 * Molly nods Feb 24 02:54:56 He's good for me to come up with ideas with Feb 24 02:55:05 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:55:09 Want me to wake him? Feb 24 02:55:30 I'd like you to hold me a minute Feb 24 02:55:39 * MorganK nods, doing that Feb 24 02:56:06 * Molly seems to find this relaxing Feb 24 02:56:28 Do you think that's what that thread was for? Feb 24 02:56:46 * MorganK shrugs Feb 24 02:56:56 You and I sort of... got together Feb 24 02:57:21 Is that a euphemism? Feb 24 02:57:38 No love Feb 24 02:57:52 Did it go blue? Feb 24 02:57:56 * MorganK nods Feb 24 02:58:09 Are you sad? Feb 24 02:58:18 A little Feb 24 02:58:33 * Molly nods, teasing him Feb 24 02:59:03 Are you sure we didn't make love amongst the bare bones of the ship? Feb 24 02:59:37 I would've recalled... besides, you saw the Nieblungen and declared we had to run away Feb 24 02:59:53 Sometimes I do feel like that! Feb 24 03:01:12 * MorganK nods Feb 24 03:01:15 Aye I know Feb 24 03:01:39 We didn't live happily ever after? Feb 24 03:02:30 We might have... Feb 24 03:02:39 * Molly smiles Feb 24 03:02:50 Well that's nice then Feb 24 03:03:06 * MorganK nods Feb 24 03:03:07 aye Feb 24 03:03:29 It makes a change to have a thread where we are not intimate! Feb 24 03:03:49 I think it was going that way... we kissed... Feb 24 03:04:04 * Molly smiles Feb 24 03:04:25 I'm glad it was a nice dream, on the whole Feb 24 03:04:32 * MorganK nods Feb 24 03:04:33 Me too Feb 24 03:05:03 And useful, too Feb 24 03:05:08 * MorganK nods Feb 24 03:05:18 Yes, once we figure out what to do with that information Feb 24 03:05:25 * Molly nods Feb 24 03:05:33 You got your insight! Feb 24 03:05:41 * MorganK nods Feb 24 03:05:46 I did indeed Feb 24 03:06:05 And a kiss to boot! You're most fortunate Feb 24 03:06:17 * MorganK nods Feb 24 03:06:21 Oh yes Feb 24 03:06:50 They weren't very good chaperones! Feb 24 03:07:12 * MorganK nods Feb 24 03:07:23 I think he wanted to spend time with Zench Feb 24 03:07:44 He8s very close with Zench and Heidi Feb 24 03:07:55 * MorganK nods Feb 24 03:07:59 I can see why Feb 24 03:08:17 * Molly nods Feb 24 03:08:31 She is a lot of fun Feb 24 03:08:54 * MorganK nods Feb 24 03:09:01 She's that alright Feb 24 03:09:34 But I suspect I'd pick up her bad ways if I spent too long with her Feb 24 03:09:47 I'm inclined to agree, yes Feb 24 03:09:56 * Molly nods Feb 24 03:10:12 And you'd have a sore palm, hmm? Feb 24 03:10:28 * MorganK shrugs Feb 24 03:10:34 Maybe. Maybe. Feb 24 03:10:47 * Molly lets him go Feb 24 03:11:35 I'll get dressed, I'm sure you won't want Heinzharold seeing me like this! Feb 24 03:11:45 No, not really love. Feb 24 03:12:07 I'll get us all coffee then collect him on the way back Feb 24 03:13:26 * Molly kisses his cheek "thank you. I'm hoping all is peaceful at quiet time so I can find out what got into you this morning!" She's smiling happily Feb 24 03:13:44 * MorganK nods Feb 24 03:13:46 I'm sure you'll enjoy it Feb 24 03:14:09 * Molly nods "as am I!" Feb 24 03:14:21 * Molly sets about getting dressed Feb 24 03:14:25 * MorganK has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Feb 24 03:14:26 * Molly has quit (Quit: Igloo IRC: https://iglooirc.com)
