**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 9 00:00:02 2023 Apr 09 00:00:02 * Molly undoes his placket, lowering the fabric "well now, it appears you're rather ready for this, my love!" Apr 09 00:00:54 * Morgan sighs, frowning Apr 09 00:01:00 perhaps... you'd best not Apr 09 00:02:10 It'll be useful it being quick, my love, we don't have long *she swirls her tongue across his swollen, wet head* Apr 09 00:02:55 * Morgan groans quietly Apr 09 00:03:12 I... love... I dreamed. Apr 09 00:03:48 * Molly doesn't twig, doing the same again before saying "mmhmm" Apr 09 00:04:25 Molly... Apr 09 00:04:49 * Molly stops, looking around at him "my love?" Apr 09 00:05:14 I dreamed of her... I feel it'd be wrong for you not to know Apr 09 00:05:34 * Molly nods slowly "Alright... do you need comfort?" Apr 09 00:05:42 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 09 00:05:57 No... its why -that- is as it is. Apr 09 00:06:06 * Molly nods again Apr 09 00:06:26 Okay... alright... we always knew this could happen... Apr 09 00:06:30 * Morgan nods Apr 09 00:07:24 * Molly watches him, expression a little more serious "is this what you want? Is your mind here with me, not there with her?" Apr 09 00:07:52 My mind and my heart is entirely here with you. If it were not I would not even have allowed it this far Apr 09 00:08:08 * Molly nods, smiling "Alright then" Apr 09 00:08:28 * Morgan nods Apr 09 00:09:35 * Molly goes back to what she was doing as if there'd been no interruption at all, swirling her tongue and then gently sucking whilst flirting her tongue all around his head Apr 09 00:10:03 * Morgan moans quietly, working his fingers inside her trousers Apr 09 00:10:55 * Molly is absolutely soaked already, moaning a little around his tip before she takes him deeper Apr 09 00:11:55 * Morgan pushes his fingers inside her, moaning as he does so Apr 09 00:12:46 * Molly pushes back on his fingers as she pushes forward with her head, his tip meeting her tonsils Apr 09 00:13:54 * Morgan whispers 'yessssssss' Apr 09 00:14:42 * Molly grinds him there, her core tightening around his fingers at his response Apr 09 00:15:35 * Morgan moans, pressing his fingers into the front wall of her insides Apr 09 00:16:50 * Molly rolls her hips as she sinks her mouth around him without teasing or pre-amble, as pressed for time as he is pressed by the tight muscles in her throat Apr 09 00:17:39 fuck Apr 09 00:19:21 * Molly bucks a little at this before pressing inexorably on, deeper and deeper until he reaches the very deepest point he can. This position means her face is buried right into his groin, and she gently cups and squeezes his balls too Apr 09 00:20:32 Oh god, thats it Apr 09 00:20:37 * Morgan flexes his fingers Apr 09 00:21:40 * Molly pulls back enough to breathe, moan, breathe again before sinking to that same depth and grinding at the apex of her movement Apr 09 00:22:08 * Morgan puts a hand to her head, flexing the fingers on his other hand at the same time Apr 09 00:23:48 * Molly starts to writhe a little pushing rhythmically back on his hand counterpoint to pushing as deep as she can with her mouth, the movements rough and urgent Apr 09 00:24:10 * Morgan 's movements become a little more aggressive Apr 09 00:24:14 shit. Soon... Apr 09 00:26:27 [Yes. Please. Have your pleasure.] *she starts to tighten around his fingers, pressing harder to his base, tensing her throat with purposeful swallowing motions, and grading her face to his skin* Apr 09 00:26:43 Grinding* Apr 09 00:27:33 * Morgan swells in her throat before his seed spills into her Apr 09 00:28:51 * Molly 's core clamps to his fingers, body tense alongside him. She gives no quarter as she peaks, so focused on his pleasure Apr 09 00:29:18 * Morgan groans, deep and low Apr 09 00:30:12 [fuck! I love that noise!] *she climaxes again as she starts to be a bit gentler to him* Apr 09 00:32:17 * Morgan finally relaxes, letting go of her hair Apr 09 00:33:00 * Molly starts to remove him from her throat, the sucking very slow and gentle Apr 09 00:33:08 Oh thats so good Apr 09 00:33:40 * Molly gets a little slower and gentler, but continues a little more Apr 09 00:34:29 * Morgan sighs contentedly Apr 09 00:34:57 [this, or stop?] Apr 09 00:35:10 [this for a moment] Apr 09 00:35:38 [me does so, gently stroking his thighs too] Apr 09 00:36:52 * Morgan sighs once more a few moments later Apr 09 00:37:01 [okay... stop now] Apr 09 00:37:28 * Molly does so, turning around to lie with him, hand on his chest Apr 09 00:37:46 See, not ruined... Apr 09 00:37:54 No... most definitely not Apr 09 00:38:09 * Molly nods a little, cuddling up Apr 09 00:38:39 How do you feel? Apr 09 00:39:02 spent Apr 09 00:42:02 * Molly nods a little. There's the sound of Varick getting up, and she pulls up his placket "we'll talk later?" Apr 09 00:42:21 * Morgan nods Apr 09 00:42:21 Aye Apr 09 00:42:56 * Molly kisses his forehead before getting up and going Apr 09 00:45:02 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 09 00:47:37 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 09 00:48:07 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 09 00:50:00 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 09 01:36:30 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 09 01:42:58 * MollyK has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 09 03:19:40 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 09 03:26:11 * MollyK has quit (Ping Timeout) Apr 09 10:39:52 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Apr 09 11:58:57 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 09 16:20:17 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Apr 09 16:22:12 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 09 16:29:49 * Morgan gets his placket done up properly before getting up off the bed Apr 09 16:45:21 * MollyK can be distantly heard talking to Varick "I have to work at three, but once I've Fed Amir, made sure Vati has milk, and checked the mirrors we can go on deck I think Apr 09 16:45:56 * Morgan gets his boots on and heads out of the bedroom Apr 09 16:46:27 *Varick and the cat are in the study* Apr 09 16:46:33 * MollyK is now known as Varick Apr 09 16:47:24 Can we draw while Mama feeds Amir? Apr 09 16:47:47 * Morgan nods Apr 09 16:47:49 If you like Apr 09 16:48:03 Can I use pastels? Apr 09 16:48:15 If we've got some, I don't see why not Apr 09 16:48:33 I want to do the drachen Apr 09 16:51:05 * Morgan nods, getting some paper and putting it on the desk Apr 09 16:51:45 The pastels are in the locked draw Apr 09 16:52:14 * Morgan points at a chair, waiting until Varick is seated before retrieving the pastels Apr 09 16:53:14 *there's also a folded piece of paper beneath them that says "names" on the outside in Molly's writing on the outside* Apr 09 16:54:07 * Morgan puts the pastels in front of Varick before unfolding the paper and looking at it Apr 09 16:55:55 *It reads: "Wilhelm, Merrick, Ehren, Lukas, Leopold, Senner, Tomas, Nikolaus, Christopher, Hans. Adalie, Adelaide, Madchen, Madelena, Sonnenshien, Konstanza, Lorelei, Violet, Sophie, Hannalore, Ursula." Most are ones they've dreamt about or discussed Apr 09 16:57:32 * Morgan nods slightly, putting it back Apr 09 17:01:25 * Varick gets to work. Molly comes in, Amir still sleeping on her shoulder. She speaks quietly "be gentle with them, Mauschen, they can be fragile" Apr 09 17:04:24 * Morgan sits at the desk, watching Varick Apr 09 17:05:49 * Varick concentrates on his drawing, pencil first. Molly takes Amir over to the window seat, and he rouses once her nipple gets near his mouth Apr 09 17:05:58 The drachen was amazing Apr 09 17:06:27 * Morgan nods Apr 09 17:06:31 I've never seen anything like it Apr 09 17:07:09 It was soooo big! Apr 09 17:09:16 * Morgan nods Apr 09 17:09:22 Uncle Edward saw one once Apr 09 17:10:58 Was it the same one? Apr 09 17:11:48 I wouldn't think so, it was years ago Apr 09 17:13:41 How long do they live? Apr 09 17:15:19 I've not no idea... given that the accepted theory now is that the drachen around today are stupid as a post, which is not the feeling I got by a long way, I'm not sure current theories can be relied upon Apr 09 17:18:28 I think he was very clever, Vati. I couldn't understand him as much as normal animals Apr 09 17:18:51 No? Apr 09 17:18:57 *Molly winces as Amir suddenly says "Bah-Eee!" Apr 09 17:19:26 * Morgan laughs quietly Apr 09 17:19:29 He's getting closer Apr 09 17:20:01 Molly makes a pained "mmhmm" Apr 09 17:23:39 *Varick continues to quietly draw, and Amir returns to nursing* M: I rather think that tooth might be through! Apr 09 17:23:54 Oh? Apr 09 17:24:27 M: it certainly hurt then! Apr 09 17:24:49 * Morgan nods Apr 09 17:25:31 [I don't like my nipples bitten and pulled at quite that hard!] Apr 09 17:25:56 [duly noted] Apr 09 17:27:11 [we can experiment with how much I can take for you?] Apr 09 17:27:19 [if you like my love] Apr 09 17:27:26 [I do] Apr 09 17:27:47 My love, do you wish to check the mirrors whilst I do this? Apr 09 17:29:07 * Morgan nods, getting up and doing so Apr 09 17:31:20 *Verity's says she misses him. Florrie's says she wants to speak to him again before the dock. Edward's says "A quick thought. I asked if you could imagine two more Prophet's Masses without a baby in your arms. You acquired one within six weeks! Eight for Mina, Molly and Inga? Love to all, Edward" Apr 09 17:35:06 *David's says " The place you mention is one I thought looked good. It will have to be set back from the stream incase of flooding. North or south is equally good, I recommend a bridge. There was a hole in the roof where you said, it's been fixed. Karlsruhe said he has found the man Schafer in Ansbach, and has spoken to Freiarr Ansbach himself. Apr 09 17:35:06 Everything is well. Love, Papa." Apr 09 17:37:48 * Morgan writes replies, confirming the time for Edward, sending his love to his mother and arranging a time the next day to speak to them all again, and thanking David and asking him to get started on digging foundations south of the stream when possible, but reiterating no foundations are to be laid until their return Apr 09 17:37:51 *The one from Innesbruck has a note that says "this came, Inhavent read it just opened it on the mirror. Walder." The paper below says ""Emil Niedersachsen. Heir to a freiarrdom. Missing, presumed dead. AWOL since April '51. 152". It must be from Baelor, Edward's overseer and member of The Order asked to investigate who agent 21 was, Grendlik's Apr 09 17:37:51 father. * Apr 09 17:38:41 * Morgan leans back Apr 09 17:39:07 Well... fuck me. Apr 09 17:39:42 * Varick says "did you call me, Vati?" Apr 09 17:39:54 No, son, I didn't... Apr 09 17:40:30 * Morgan copies down the information before writing a note for Walder thanking him and asking him to burn the letter without reading it. Apr 09 17:40:58 *that completes all the mirror messages* Apr 09 17:42:38 * Morgan digs out his written out family tree, looking for the name Apr 09 17:46:22 *it isn't there, but his great great great grandmother is Edelweiss Niedersachsen, and three hundred years ago Graben was ruled by Niedersachens until the Hapsburg thirteenth child became the Freiarr Apr 09 17:46:48 well... Apr 09 17:48:08 *the Nidedersachsen family also gave rise five hundred years ago to Leonore Niedersachsen who wed Konrad Koertig, becoming the first Grafin of the newly formed Grafdom of Sudlachenburg. The family had three generations of fifteen surviving children, almost every noble Eisen family connected to this line* Apr 09 17:49:10 * Morgan scribbles notes of all this down before putting the tree away Apr 09 17:49:18 Could've told me which bloody freiarrdom Apr 09 17:50:03 * Varick is now known as Molly Apr 09 17:50:27 * Molly comes in, Amir in her arms and nursing Apr 09 17:50:39 You're muttering, my love, is all well? Apr 09 17:50:54 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 09 17:51:11 Holzheim... he's nobility Apr 09 17:52:52 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 09 17:53:13 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Apr 09 20:02:23 * MollyK (~igloo@CrystabllesiPad.lan) has joined Apr 09 20:03:24 * MollyK rocks the baby subconsciously "You've heard from The Order?" Apr 09 20:07:35 * Morgan (~mads@iMac-2.lan) has joined Apr 09 20:11:17 [19:46:57] • ​MollyK​ rocks the baby subconsciously "You've heard from The Order?" Apr 09 20:11:38 * Morgan nods Apr 09 20:12:17 I have his fathers name and his position... Little more I need to find out, but he's been missing since April 51 Apr 09 20:13:06 That's a long time... twenty years, so around the time Grendlik's Mother died Apr 09 20:13:12 * Morgan nods Apr 09 20:16:16 * MollyK gently pats Amir's bottom Apr 09 20:16:23 Who was he? Apr 09 20:17:09 A Niedersachsen. He was going to be a Freiarr Apr 09 20:17:25 * MollyK 's brows raise Apr 09 20:17:34 Well... Apr 09 20:18:03 * Morgan nods Apr 09 20:18:46 Quite. Former keepers of Graben, first Grafin of Sudlachenburg... Apr 09 20:19:01 * MollyK looks at the baby Apr 09 20:19:22 Guess who has been meddling, hmm? It's the Nibelungen! Yes it is! Apr 09 20:20:24 Quite. I'm going to try to find out which Freiarrdom Apr 09 20:20:28 * MollyK nods Apr 09 20:20:56 There's many Niedersachsen freiarrdoms in Posen, as well as a Grafdom Apr 09 20:21:05 * Morgan nods Apr 09 20:21:20 But I wouldn't imagine it'll be too hard to track down one that had an heir go missing Apr 09 20:21:42 Except The Order are involved... Apr 09 20:22:44 Even so... I don't imagine Holzheim will want to do anything about it, but... he should know. Apr 09 20:23:01 Oh I agree Apr 09 20:23:32 He and Jarvie are wealthy enough between them to see their son safe... Apr 09 20:24:25 * Morgan nods Apr 09 20:24:28 agreed Apr 09 20:24:34 I am thinking that the extra fertility of the Niedersachsen line five hundred years ago is a huge coincidence with when they started preparing for us... Apr 09 20:24:47 * MollyK smirks a little, watching him Apr 09 20:25:12 I don't believe in coincidence with anything to do with them Apr 09 20:25:30 Mmhmm... but if they could make people more fertile... Apr 09 20:25:43 Yes? Apr 09 20:26:18 What stops them making it so a man can only conceive with a particular woman? Apr 09 20:27:42 * Morgan shrugs Apr 09 20:27:46 I've no idea Apr 09 20:29:53 Annnnd... he has an ability to sense his location, she had a sister and has a cousin with magic... it's possible their son will have a gift Apr 09 20:30:06 * Morgan nods Apr 09 20:30:12 I'd say so... Apr 09 20:31:24 I wonder what they're call him? *Jarvie told him in confidence it would be Mattias Hans Holzheim for a boy* Apr 09 20:32:00 I couldn't say Apr 09 20:34:58 * MollyK nods "I wonder if it'll be something Montaigne for his mother" Apr 09 20:36:45 That'd be nice Apr 09 20:37:05 * MollyK nods, smiling Apr 09 20:37:32 Have you given any thought to what Amir's Eisen name should be? Apr 09 20:37:45 * Morgan shrugs Apr 09 20:37:47 Have you? Apr 09 20:40:35 No, I haven't Apr 09 20:41:02 You are not thinking of using one of the names you've written and put in the desk drawer? Apr 09 20:41:49 * MollyK shakes her head, biting her lip "no... that was just some ideas from a few weeks ago..." Apr 09 20:41:58 * Morgan nods Apr 09 20:43:59 Ummm is there something on there you particularly would like for him? Apr 09 20:44:34 * Morgan shrugs Apr 09 20:44:58 I don't know really... Apr 09 20:46:03 * MollyK nods Apr 09 20:46:33 Perhaps we could sit together soon? Apr 09 20:47:08 * Morgan frowns Apr 09 20:47:09 Alright... Apr 09 20:48:45 What's wrong, my love? Apr 09 20:49:04 It sounds like something is bothering you... Apr 09 20:51:16 No, my love Apr 09 20:51:34 * Morgan nods Apr 09 20:51:41 *He can hear HH and Inga come into the study* Apr 09 20:52:22 Shall we join the others? Apr 09 20:54:48 * MollyK nods Apr 09 20:54:54 We best had Apr 09 20:55:34 * Morgan nods, holding the door open for her Apr 09 20:55:54 *HH grins when they get there* $wasnt sure which of you would have your hands on her bubbies$ Apr 09 20:56:17 $That was earlier$ Apr 09 20:56:29 I've arranged for Inga and Molly to speak with Mina at eight Apr 09 20:59:54 * MollyK smiles "that will be nice" Apr 09 21:00:22 HH: spose we'll hafta entertain ourselves! Apr 09 21:01:06 HH: $same, got to get the seeds planted, man$ Apr 09 21:01:24 * Morgan nods Apr 09 21:01:59 * MollyK sits at the desk before getting some paper, moving Amir to the other breast Apr 09 21:02:26 Heinzharold, if I draw something, could you tell me if you could make it with a forge? Apr 09 21:03:03 In, love... Apr 09 21:03:24 Hmm? Apr 09 21:03:41 In a forge... Apr 09 21:03:46 Oh, yes Apr 09 21:04:07 *HH nods* let's have a look *he sits beside her as she draws* Apr 09 21:05:01 HH $pretty sure your wife is drawing bubbies$ Apr 09 21:05:45 $should've just put paint on them and pressed them to the paper$ Apr 09 21:06:38 HH: $be fine til she licks it$ Apr 09 21:07:22 * Morgan smirks, going to sit down Apr 09 21:09:30 * MollyK explains what she wants in great detail, talking about how it should fit snuggly around the nipple Apr 09 21:10:01 HH grins at Morgan: $making it very difficult not to look!$ Apr 09 21:10:19 $Ah, I know what she's after$ Apr 09 21:10:49 * MollyK explains how it should work. He nods along thoughtfully Apr 09 21:12:37 HH: reckon it's possible with some tweaks, but why not get his fiery majesty to heat glass an' sculpt it like clay? Apr 09 21:13:20 You ever messed about with molten glass? Apr 09 21:13:47 *HH grins* Inherited a forge at thirteen, whatchu reck'n? Apr 09 21:14:41 His fiery majesty has a scar from getting that stuff on him, thank you Apr 09 21:15:46 That's hardly a major concern now... Apr 09 21:17:37 * Morgan sighs Apr 09 21:17:41 I suppose not... let me see? Apr 09 21:22:29 * MollyK shows him Apr 09 21:22:53 How big? Apr 09 21:23:43 The size of a wine bottle in diameter, perhaps? As high without the neck? Apr 09 21:24:12 HH: See two issues with it, m'self... Apr 09 21:24:14 * Morgan nods slowly Apr 09 21:24:17 Go on... Apr 09 21:24:43 HH: Gonna want some vent holes near the top, air out as milk goes in... Apr 09 21:24:57 * Morgan nods Apr 09 21:25:57 HH: also, gon' be pretty easy t' get the milk in, how th' hell y' gon' get it out easily? Cleaning too... Apr 09 21:27:59 * Morgan picks up a pencil, drawing Apr 09 21:30:30 * Morgan puts the drawing in front of HeinzHarold Apr 09 21:31:59 *he nods* Yep, looks good... need the bottom wider'an the top though Apr 09 21:32:15 Why? Apr 09 21:33:23 HH: milk's gon' hit the side an run down th' glass. If it's not completely snug yer way it's gonna run down the outside of your bottom Apr 09 21:35:59 * Morgan looks at him for a moment Apr 09 21:36:17 Very well Apr 09 21:36:53 HH shrugs: if y' think I'm wrong, that's fine Apr 09 21:37:23 * Morgan shrugs Apr 09 21:37:40 If its not snug your way, it'll spill when its poured Apr 09 21:38:39 HH: don't need to pour though, take th' top off an' it's just a glass Apr 09 21:39:39 Right... Apr 09 21:40:31 * MollyK glances at him "my love, if they can be separated, would you need a spout? It'd be easier to make without? Apr 09 21:40:41 Uh huh Apr 09 21:41:24 HH: Want me t' see if we got any empties? Apr 09 21:42:33 * Morgan rolls his neck Apr 09 21:42:36 I'll do it Apr 09 21:42:50 * Morgan gets up, leaving the room and heading to the galley Apr 09 21:43:05 * MollyK is now known as Cook Apr 09 21:43:25 * Cook is cleaning Apr 09 21:43:44 Afternoon, my lord Apr 09 21:43:57 Mr Cook... how's the journey treating you? Apr 09 21:44:56 Been a bit weird, hasn't it? Apr 09 21:45:54 * Morgan nods, moving to look for empty bottles Apr 09 21:46:13 *he finds six* Apr 09 21:46:21 Too right... saw some really weird things in Avalon, but the ship buggering off on her own and having to sail at night takes some beating Apr 09 21:46:29 * Cook nods Apr 09 21:46:36 Never heard of it, my lord Apr 09 21:47:15 Nieblungen's influence... its the sort of thing they do apparently, but I'd never heard of anything like this ship Apr 09 21:48:34 * Cook nods Apr 09 21:48:47 Made excellent time though, expected two more weeks Apr 09 21:49:11 * Morgan nods Apr 09 21:49:40 I'm a little disappointed by that if I'm honest, rather cuts short living my childhood dream... but such is life Apr 09 21:50:12 * Morgan fetches up a bucket and pours some water in it, putting the bottles in it to make it easier to carry them Apr 09 21:51:13 Gets the ladies and children on dry land earlier. Safer, ain't it? Apr 09 21:51:37 I daresay this is the safest ship anyones ever sailed Apr 09 21:51:42 * Cook nods Apr 09 21:51:47 Too true Apr 09 21:52:07 Turns out dracheneisen floats, too... Apr 09 21:52:30 Who'da thought it? Apr 09 21:53:29 Only a madman Apr 09 21:53:43 * Cook nods Apr 09 21:54:07 I'm hoping to bring some of the more... interesting food back from Capperlucia... give us a bit of a break from fish Apr 09 21:54:33 * Cook nods Apr 09 21:55:08 Be nice. I try to keep it interesting, but there's only so much you can do with fish on a ship Apr 09 21:56:28 * Morgan nods, making a jug of coffee, thanking the cook and heading back to the study Apr 09 21:58:44 *HH is playing with Amir, Molly and Inga are knitting, and Varick is still drawing. Apr 09 22:00:44 * Morgan puts the things on the desk before wandering into the bedroom Apr 09 22:01:39 * Cook is now known as Molly Apr 09 22:01:49 * Molly follows, quietly closing the door Apr 09 22:01:55 What's wrong? Apr 09 22:02:04 nothing Apr 09 22:02:13 I need some wool Apr 09 22:02:16 You left very abruptly... Apr 09 22:03:03 The bottles weren't going to walk themselves down to us Apr 09 22:05:00 * Molly nods slowly Apr 09 22:05:11 Alright, I will get some wool Apr 09 22:06:25 I'm sure the three of you can sort it out until I'm needed to melt glass Apr 09 22:06:50 Sort what out? Apr 09 22:07:11 Splitting the tops from the bottles Apr 09 22:07:24 I've never done that before Apr 09 22:08:15 I'm sure HeinzHarold knows what to do Apr 09 22:08:30 You do not want to teach this to your son? Apr 09 22:08:55 * Morgan grinds his teeth briefly Apr 09 22:09:27 fine Apr 09 22:10:33 * Molly watches him "please do not tell me nothing is wrong when something clearly is. I do not like it." Apr 09 22:13:27 I am clearly not required to do this, since my ideas have been dismissed Apr 09 22:14:36 We gave help to refine your design, that is all. Is that not what you would wish? Apr 09 22:15:06 It is a complete change... so it is not what I designed Apr 09 22:15:38 It is based entirely on your split bottle system... Apr 09 22:15:50 While changing everything about it Apr 09 22:19:01 ACTION looks a little neutral "I am sorry that you aren't happy. I felt your idea was just gently tweaked by Heinzharold and I as part of a constructive feedback. I do not want to be at odds with you, I need to have another trade meeting with Betuana, and after what happened in quiet hour I cannot bear feeling that there might be more to the Apr 09 22:19:01 conflict than just the bottle" Apr 09 22:19:31 * Morgan folds his arms Apr 09 22:19:40 There is not, unless you are bringing more into it. Apr 09 22:20:10 No. I have no need to. I am not in anyway angry about any of this. Apr 09 22:21:07 Fine. Apr 09 22:22:00 * Molly watches him a moment "If I am not needed, if you will continue to be cross with me, I will go to work" Apr 09 22:24:31 * Morgan watches her intently Apr 09 22:25:35 I am not cross with you. How would you like it if you posited an idea and were told, yes, very good, but lets change everything you've suggested? Apr 09 22:26:31 I disagree that we have changed everything, but if my input led to a successful outcome I'd be happy with that Apr 09 22:28:16 My assistance is not required. It is not difficult to separate the neck from the bottle and you could just turn that upside down and express into that, like a funnel. Apr 09 22:29:08 Not when it sprays at odd angles. It needs to be enclosed around the nipple Apr 09 22:30:28 Thats why you'd press your breast into it. Apr 09 22:31:39 I will try that then. Heinzharold can split the bottle for me? Apr 09 22:32:15 I would imagine so Apr 09 22:32:22 * Molly nods Apr 09 22:32:42 I will be back around half after four. Apr 09 22:32:56 You are going to work early... Apr 09 22:34:01 Yes, I am. If I start early I can finish early. I do not feel like we are going to come to a middle point, so why not concentrate on dealing with things that we can make progress upon? Apr 09 22:34:35 Fine, do as you will. I'll see you later Apr 09 22:35:02 * Molly nods, going back into the other room Apr 09 22:36:31 * Morgan sits on the bed, picking at the scars on his arms Apr 09 22:37:05 *it's about five minutes later that there's a tap at the door* Apr 09 22:38:26 Yes? Apr 09 22:38:45 * Molly is now known as Inga Apr 09 22:39:04 * Inga comes in, shutting the door. She looks a bit sad Apr 09 22:39:10 Do you want to talk? Apr 09 22:39:52 * Morgan rubs at his arms, pulling his sleeves down Apr 09 22:40:28 To what end? You'll tell me I'm overreacting and in the wrong. Apr 09 22:40:49 I could hug you? That's helped before? Apr 09 22:41:15 * Morgan takes a deep breath, holding it before nodding and letting it out Apr 09 22:41:44 * Inga sits beside him on the bed, hugging him Apr 09 22:42:55 * Morgan sighs heavily Apr 09 22:44:31 I can tell from how Molly is that you're at odds again Apr 09 22:47:20 I dislike my ideas being dismissed under the guise of 'adjustments' to them Apr 09 22:48:25 * Inga nods "That can be hard" Apr 09 22:49:14 No, apparently I am just in the wrong. Since I'm so wrong, they can bloody sort it out themselves Apr 09 22:50:04 You know they love you, don't you? Apr 09 22:50:55 Would I be so bothered if I didn't? Apr 09 22:51:30 * Inga nods Apr 09 22:51:57 I wish you and Molly would make up. It's sad to see something coming between you again Apr 09 22:52:41 So I should just back down... Apr 09 22:52:59 I wasn't telling you what to do Apr 09 22:54:40 But that's what you think... Apr 09 22:55:04 I can see both sides Apr 09 22:56:55 * Morgan sighs Apr 09 22:57:30 I'm tired of being the one to back down... Apr 09 22:58:23 Then you could tell them they should apologise for hurting your feelings? Apr 09 22:58:42 So they can tell me why I'm wrong? No thank you Apr 09 22:59:42 * Inga nods sadly "okay" Apr 09 23:01:31 * Morgan nods slightly Apr 09 23:02:22 Should I take the children to my room? Maybe an argument with Heinzharold will help blow off the steam? Apr 09 23:03:04 * Morgan shakes his head Apr 09 23:03:10 No. I'll be out in a minute Apr 09 23:03:23 * Inga nods, leaving him alone Apr 09 23:04:11 * Morgan comes out a few minutes later with a roll of twine Apr 09 23:04:51 *HH and Varick are examining bottles from the ends* Apr 09 23:05:35 * Inga is now known as Varick Apr 09 23:06:07 Vati! We think these might be the right size to fit snugly! Apr 09 23:06:28 Thats good Apr 09 23:07:54 HH: can do it your way or mine. Varick said rather'an trying to make vents, why not leave the bottle neck an' cork. Clever lad, this one Apr 09 23:08:28 Not sure I understand how that'd work Apr 09 23:11:14 *HH draws it. Instead of a curved over top, it's more like a regular bottle with a hole in the side, then halfway down the bottom and top slot together* Apr 09 23:11:48 HH: 'ow much milk is she likely to make? Apr 09 23:11:55 loads Apr 09 23:12:17 HH: so need t' make it tall Apr 09 23:12:29 * Morgan nods Apr 09 23:13:29 HH: whatcha reckon, top one cut off right at the base, bottom one just before th' shoulder? Apr 09 23:13:49 * Morgan shrugs Apr 09 23:13:53 Yeah, probably Apr 09 23:14:23 HH: Which way y' wanna do it? Top wider or bottom wider? Apr 09 23:14:52 We'll go with bottom Apr 09 23:15:30 How do we do it, Vati? Apr 09 23:16:32 We need two lengths of twine, enough to wrap round each bottle, and some whiskey Apr 09 23:26:38 * Varick looks interested, helping to do the twine Apr 09 23:26:43 Now what? Apr 09 23:27:03 * Morgan pours a glass of whiskey, dipping the twine in it Apr 09 23:27:11 Right, where on the bottles do we need them to split? Apr 09 23:28:38 So there's a big overlap... *he points to the bottom of the narrower bottle* here... Apr 09 23:29:24 * Morgan nods, wrapping one length of twine at that point Apr 09 23:29:28 And the other? Apr 09 23:30:50 *he points below the shoulder where it straightens* Apr 09 23:31:58 * Morgan ties the second piece of twine before downing the whiskey and concentrating on making the water in the bucket very cold before scooping up a glass of it Apr 09 23:32:45 * Varick watches Apr 09 23:32:51 What does that do? Apr 09 23:34:07 We're going to set fire to the twine... let it heat up a bit then pour the cold water on it... hopefully, it'll cause the glass to break along the line Apr 09 23:35:06 * Varick looks excited Apr 09 23:35:13 That sounds awesome! Apr 09 23:35:19 * Morgan nods Apr 09 23:35:35 If it doesn't work we'll dunk the bottle, but it -shouldn't- need it Apr 09 23:35:43 * Varick nods Apr 09 23:35:48 What do I do? Apr 09 23:36:15 * Morgan fishes out his tinderbox, putting it in front of Varick Apr 09 23:36:44 * Varick looks at it "but you can do it with magic?" Apr 09 23:36:47 Lay the bottle across the bucket, then use that to send sparks onto it Apr 09 23:37:17 * Varick does it as instructed, and it quickly works Apr 09 23:37:46 * Morgan watches the flame for a minute before putting the glass in front of Varick Apr 09 23:37:50 Now pour that over the bottle Apr 09 23:39:21 * Varick does so carefully Apr 09 23:41:01 * Morgan nods, gripping the bottle and twisting to break the bottle in two Apr 09 23:41:57 * Varick stares open-mouthed Apr 09 23:42:03 That's amazing! Apr 09 23:42:12 * Morgan nods Apr 09 23:42:16 Ready to do the other one? Apr 09 23:42:28 * Varick nods enthusiastically Apr 09 23:42:43 Yes, Vati Apr 09 23:42:48 * Morgan nods, getting another glass of cold water and placing the bottle on top of the bucket Apr 09 23:42:53 Ok... come on then Apr 09 23:43:06 *Amir mimics* Bah-Eee Apr 09 23:43:14 * Varick does it again Apr 09 23:43:41 * Morgan pushes the water to him when its time, nodding at the bottle Apr 09 23:44:21 * Varick does that part as well Apr 09 23:44:37 * Morgan twists the bottle once more, it making a slight popping noise Apr 09 23:44:58 *Amir chuckles at the sound* Apr 09 23:45:05 Now what? Apr 09 23:45:32 * Morgan tests the fit of the two bottles Apr 09 23:45:52 *it's snug but works Apr 09 23:46:27 Ok, I'll just take the edge off the glass... *he looks over at Inga* you got a firm grip on that little lad? Apr 09 23:46:39 *She nods* Apr 09 23:47:13 * Morgan nods, pinching the rim between thumb and finger, concentrating to heat it enough to be pliable to smooth the sharp edges Apr 09 23:47:52 *Amir unsurprisingly starts waving his arms and legs, staring at Morgan and saying Bah! Bah! Bah! Apr 09 23:48:50 * Morgan smiles, doing the same to the other bottle Apr 09 23:49:34 *Amir keeps going* Apr 09 23:49:45 He really likes magic, Vati! Apr 09 23:50:18 * Morgan nods Apr 09 23:50:36 I suspect... he can see like... rainbows or something around me when I do it Apr 09 23:51:26 That would be fun Apr 09 23:52:06 HH: How y' gonna know how big the side hole should be? Apr 09 23:53:17 Bit bigger than my thumb... Apr 09 23:53:31 Can always make it bigger later Apr 09 23:54:07 HH: smooth round th' edges Apr 09 23:54:38 * Morgan nods Apr 09 23:55:29 * Morgan looks at the bottle Apr 09 23:55:35 Where is the hole going? Apr 09 23:56:21 HH: lil darlin, can y' put him on yer hip? Apr 09 23:56:58 *She does. HH takes the bottle to her, waiting for Morgan to follow* Apr 09 23:57:16 * Morgan gets up, following Apr 09 23:57:53 *HH holds it to her breast, moving it higher and lower* Apr 09 23:59:26 See, too high an' the curve of the shoulder makes it difficult, too low an yer gon' need to take some out of both layers *she watches Morgan, blushing a little*
