**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Sep 3 13:15:34 2023 Sep 03 13:15:34 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Sep 03 17:51:51 * MollyK (~igloo@192.168.1.127) has joined Sep 03 17:54:08 Kind. He spent his time telling me I was a good man, and that I'd be with god Sep 03 17:54:08 * MollyK nods Sep 03 17:54:08 That's sweet Sep 03 17:54:08 * Morgan nods Sep 03 17:54:08 Will you ask about him? Sep 03 17:54:10 I might Sep 03 17:54:12 * MollyK nods Sep 03 17:54:14 Should I check on the children? There's only fifteen minutes of quiet hour left... Sep 03 17:54:16 Might be an idea Sep 03 17:54:18 * MollyK nods, glancing around before kissing him Sep 03 17:54:20 * Morgan makes a small noise of surprise Sep 03 17:55:41 * MollyK giggles Sep 03 17:56:02 I'm being good, but I can't manage perfection Sep 03 17:56:20 * Morgan smiles Sep 03 17:56:22 Go on with you Sep 03 18:00:47 * MollyK goes on her tiptoes and whispers in his ear "I'll go and find a Koertig male who's desperate for my bubbies, hmm?" Sep 03 18:01:50 behave Sep 03 18:02:13 * MollyK smiles "mmhmm. I'll see you in a while" Sep 03 18:02:35 * Morgan nods Sep 03 18:02:37 Alright love Sep 03 18:03:03 * MollyK goes off to the nursery Sep 03 18:03:18 * Morgan goes to find himself some tea Sep 03 18:04:32 *when he walks past Uinise's room, his attention is caught by an unusual smell, it's hard to place, something exotic and fragrant Sep 03 18:04:56 * Morgan stops, trying to work out what it is Sep 03 18:05:13 *it smells like incense* Sep 03 18:12:39 * Morgan knocks gently Sep 03 18:15:10 * MollyK is now known as Uinise Sep 03 18:15:15 You can come in Sep 03 18:15:41 * Morgan does so, gently closing the door behind him Sep 03 18:16:07 Forgive the intrusion... I smelled the incense and assumed you were observing your faith and wondered if... perhaps I might observe... Sep 03 18:27:15 * Uinise nods, smiling. She is sat on the floor with her legs crossed. In front of her is a wooden tray, containing a few pieces of fruit, some leaves, the little figurine of Tina Atu'a Fafine, and a strange ceramic incense holder that somehow makes the smoke run downwards like slow flowing water Sep 03 18:28:05 * Morgan moves to one side, sitting down Sep 03 18:31:13 * Uinise smiles, watching the incense Sep 03 18:32:36 We don't have prayers like you have them, we sit quietly and relax. It is like when you go into the presence of your earthly mother, you don't have to ask for her attention Sep 03 18:34:56 Its like having a parent who is always nearby? Sep 03 18:35:28 * Uinise nods, smiling. The room is quiet, the smoke continuing to flow Sep 03 18:35:49 * Morgan nods, watching the smoke Sep 03 18:36:13 Just like when you are small and play in the sand and grass. She's there, and her love is with you Sep 03 18:36:45 * Morgan nods slowly Sep 03 18:36:46 I see Sep 03 18:37:27 * Uinise nods, smiling and watching the smoke silently Sep 03 18:39:35 * Morgan waits, not interrupting her Sep 03 18:40:06 *he starts to feel a slight sense of presence* Sep 03 18:40:45 * Morgan tries to sit still and relax Sep 03 18:41:44 *it increases. Having dreamt of walking the beach with her, it feels like a similar sort of energy* Sep 03 18:42:17 Do you... I don't know, talk to her at all? Sep 03 18:42:56 Sometimes, yes, if I have a dilemma, or just need to talk about something Sep 03 18:44:03 * Morgan nods Sep 03 18:44:22 I'm sure she already knows we're doing our best to keep you safe Sep 03 18:46:10 * Uinise nods Sep 03 18:46:31 She knows you are all kind and welcoming, and that Clowdia is my watcher Sep 03 18:48:07 You forgot witty Sep 03 18:48:17 * Uinise nods Sep 03 18:48:31 I will tell her that next time Sep 03 18:48:56 No need. She knows Sep 03 18:49:34 * Uinise nods Sep 03 18:50:44 I have told her that Clowdia has burdens and I wish they would be lightened for her Sep 03 18:51:32 * Morgan nods Sep 03 18:51:39 You seem to make those burdens lighter for her Sep 03 18:52:52 * Uinise smiles "I hope so" Sep 03 18:53:39 * Morgan nods, watching her for a moment Sep 03 18:53:47 I'll leave you in peace with your goddess Sep 03 18:54:43 You don't have to go Sep 03 18:56:54 I don't wish to detract from your time with her Sep 03 18:57:52 You aren't Sep 03 18:58:49 * Morgan nods, getting himself cross legged and sitting quietly Sep 03 19:03:13 *it is very peaceful, and he doesn't feel alone like he has often when praying* Sep 03 19:04:06 * Morgan finds himself thinking about walking along the beach, his mind reeling from the enormity of the encounter Sep 03 19:05:06 *it's clear in his mind enough that he can almost feel her stood beside him* Sep 03 19:07:28 * Morgan glances at his side briefly Sep 03 19:07:45 *there's nothing to see* Sep 03 19:09:32 I'd best go and get some tea Sep 03 19:09:48 * Uinise nods Sep 03 19:10:00 I hope you found this educational Sep 03 19:10:54 * Morgan nods Sep 03 19:10:57 Very, thank you Sep 03 19:11:24 * Uinise stands up, and fetches him a small red book Sep 03 19:11:48 Could you give that to Molly? I forgot where I packed it Sep 03 19:12:15 * Morgan nods Sep 03 19:12:24 Yes of course Sep 03 19:12:35 * Morgan takes it, turning over in his hands Sep 03 19:16:07 Embossed on the front is a very simple line drawing in gold of a pregnant torso with hands on the belly Sep 03 19:16:25 What is it? Sep 03 19:16:46 It is what our pregnancy doctors use to learn from, Betuana thought she might like it Sep 03 19:17:26 * Morgan nods Sep 03 19:17:39 Oh definitely, I'll give it to her in a moment Sep 03 19:20:29 * Uinise nods Sep 03 19:20:32 Thank you Sep 03 19:20:47 * Morgan inclines his head before getting up Sep 03 19:20:51 I'll see you later Sep 03 19:21:15 * Uinise nods, letting him out into the empty hallway Sep 03 19:22:28 * Morgan heads off to get some tea to take back to Molly Sep 03 19:22:57 *he runs into Inga sat on the top step of the staircase* Sep 03 19:23:02 * Uinise is now known as Inga Sep 03 19:23:21 Thats an unusual place for a rest love... Sep 03 19:23:28 * Inga nods Sep 03 19:23:34 I'm waiting for something Sep 03 19:23:38 Oh? Sep 03 19:23:48 * Inga smiles, a little embarrassed Sep 03 19:23:57 You're going to think this is mad... Sep 03 19:24:47 You underestimate the crazy things that go on around me... Sep 03 19:25:03 I dreamt about this Sep 03 19:25:39 Totally mad, that sort of thing is completely out of the realm of possibility for us Sep 03 19:25:47 * Inga smiles Sep 03 19:28:37 I dreamt the light was like that *she points up to a portrait of an unknown pretty young woman on the wall. The sunlight through the window highlights just her cleavage. He'd almost forgotten about it, and how he'd always been very careful not too look at that part of her, even going as far as trying to go up the stairs with his eyes closed once* Sep 03 19:29:24 right... Sep 03 19:30:30 I was thinking how Heinzharold would find it funny as I went down the stairs. Then someone drops a tray and ceramic breaks, and I lose my footing. I get very hurt Sep 03 19:30:51 We definitely do not want that Sep 03 19:31:16 No, we really don't Sep 03 19:31:32 So you're waiting for someone to drop a tray Sep 03 19:32:18 * Inga nods Sep 03 19:33:25 Makes sense to me. How about... you take my arm and I'll walk you down, just to be safe? Sep 03 19:34:34 * Inga nods Sep 03 19:34:42 Alright, thank you Morgan Sep 03 19:35:11 * Morgan nods, offering his arm Sep 03 19:39:03 * Inga takes it, walking with him. They get four steps down before someone does indeed break the China, and even knowing it"s coming she still almost slips Sep 03 19:39:32 * Morgan throws his arm around her, holding her up Sep 03 19:41:24 * Inga gasps Sep 03 19:41:30 That was close! Sep 03 19:41:58 * Morgan nods, frowning a little Sep 03 19:42:05 How very hurt? Sep 03 19:44:01 * Inga shrugs Sep 03 19:44:13 Bad enough to be laid up in bed a few days Sep 03 19:44:26 * Morgan nods Sep 03 19:45:25 I'm glad we avoided that Sep 03 19:46:16 * Inga nods Sep 03 19:46:21 Me too Sep 03 19:46:40 * Morgan nods, walking her to the bottom of the stairs Sep 03 19:47:35 * Inga smiles Sep 03 19:47:39 Thanks Sep 03 19:48:41 Always. I guess it means you're not mad... Sep 03 19:51:21 * Inga nods Sep 03 19:51:41 It's like Heinzharold's dream of Florrie? Sep 03 19:51:55 * Morgan nods Sep 03 19:52:00 I'd say so, yes Sep 03 19:52:39 That's strange, isn't it. Sep 03 19:52:51 Is it? Why? Sep 03 19:55:39 It's normally you and Molly having these dreams Sep 03 19:55:52 * Morgan nods Sep 03 19:56:06 I'm not particularly happy that you've both been forced to have them Sep 03 19:56:53 It's important though Sep 03 19:57:09 * Morgan nods Sep 03 19:57:11 Yes, it is Sep 03 19:58:42 We're safe from it Sep 03 19:59:27 * Morgan nods Sep 03 20:01:05 I wonder if they'll still have coffee available Sep 03 20:01:49 Its... Avalonian coffee... Sep 03 20:02:10 * Inga nods Sep 03 20:02:38 We drank so much of it when you and Heinzharold were away that I don't mind it too much Sep 03 20:04:09 I drank it for years, but never forgot how it compared to the coffee I really like Sep 03 20:05:54 Molly says you like your coffee like you like women, you're very specific about your preferences Sep 03 20:06:37 * Morgan blushes Sep 03 20:06:58 My coffee has to be like me Sep 03 20:07:45 Eisen? Sep 03 20:07:58 * Morgan nods Sep 03 20:08:03 And surprisingly strong and quite bitter Sep 03 20:09:51 * Inga laughs Sep 03 20:10:12 I like mine sweet and milky Sep 03 20:10:29 * Morgan pulls a face Sep 03 20:10:43 Crime against coffee... Sep 03 20:11:01 Except Avalonian coffee, that stuff needs to be made to taste as little like its own flavour as possible Sep 03 20:12:51 * Inga smiles Sep 03 20:13:05 It's difficult remembering to add extra sugar here Sep 03 20:13:43 -extra- sugar? Sep 03 20:14:04 On the ship I just add milk Sep 03 20:14:48 On top of milk? Sep 03 20:15:02 No, but here it comes from cows Sep 03 20:15:24 * Morgan nods Sep 03 20:15:52 I see Sep 03 20:17:58 Now we can go back to normal Sep 03 20:18:52 * Morgan nods Sep 03 20:18:58 Be on our way again soon Sep 03 20:20:58 * Inga nods Sep 03 20:21:05 To Rosie's next Sep 03 20:21:32 * Morgan nods Sep 03 20:21:34 I suppose so Sep 03 20:22:31 Are you worrying? Sep 03 20:23:09 I'd be lying if I said no Sep 03 20:24:45 About them? Sep 03 20:25:02 * Morgan shrugs Sep 03 20:25:04 partly Sep 03 20:26:56 Molly loves you though, she's mad about you Sep 03 20:27:07 * Morgan nods Sep 03 20:27:09 I know Sep 03 20:30:14 * Inga smiles Sep 03 20:30:19 I'm glad Sep 03 20:31:00 * Morgan smiles, pulling her close and kissing the top of her head Sep 03 20:31:09 You be alright from here? I need to get this tea to Molly Sep 03 20:32:29 * Inga nods Sep 03 20:32:31 I am Sep 03 20:32:54 * Morgan nods, leaving her to it and carrying the tea up to Molly Sep 03 20:34:56 * Inga is now known as Molly Sep 03 20:35:44 * Molly is in the nursery. She's feeding Emil whilst Varick reads to them and Florrie plays with some bricks Sep 03 20:36:07 * Morgan puts the cups up out of the way Sep 03 20:37:27 Thank you, my love Sep 03 20:37:42 *Florrie and Varick want to hug him* Sep 03 20:38:02 * Morgan nods, handing her the book before picking the two children up Sep 03 20:40:02 *they hug him tight* Sep 03 20:40:12 * Molly looks at it Sep 03 20:40:19 Oh! Where did you get this?! Sep 03 20:41:01 Uinise gave it to me to give to you. I stopped by her room when I smelled the incense she uses Sep 03 20:41:47 * Molly nods, looking through it with a smile Sep 03 20:41:53 This is wonderful Sep 03 20:42:15 * Morgan nods Sep 03 20:42:20 I thought you might think so Sep 03 20:43:58 * Molly nods Sep 03 20:44:07 I do. I will study it at length Sep 03 20:45:04 * Morgan nods, looking at Varick and Florrie Sep 03 20:45:09 How did the two of you sleep? Sep 03 20:45:33 F: sleep in bed Sep 03 20:45:50 V: *he laughs* Sep 03 20:46:29 * Morgan nods Sep 03 20:46:36 That makes sense... did you sleep well? Sep 03 20:48:20 *Varick nods* I did Sep 03 20:48:31 F: me sleep too Sep 03 20:48:54 Good. Sep 03 20:50:21 F: where going now? Sep 03 20:51:03 I think in a little while my uncle was thinking we could go to the hot house again Sep 03 20:51:43 F: *She jumps up and down, clapping* yay! Sep 03 20:53:04 Thought you might like that Sep 03 20:53:37 V: Are we all going? Sep 03 20:54:53 * Morgan shrugs Sep 03 20:54:57 I don't know actually Sep 03 20:56:10 I don't see why not Sep 03 20:56:30 * Morgan shrugs Sep 03 20:56:36 I have no issue with doing so Sep 03 20:57:12 F: *she takes Morgan's hand* go ballhead Sep 03 20:57:32 We will soon sweetheart Sep 03 20:57:41 F: no! Go! Sep 03 20:58:07 We need to wait until everyones ready, don't we? Sep 03 20:58:21 V: I'm ready Sep 03 20:58:26 * Molly smiles Sep 03 20:58:41 We'll follow along presently Sep 03 20:59:14 * Morgan nods Sep 03 20:59:32 Alright then... can you find the others and see if they're joining us or not? I'll take this pair to find my uncle Sep 03 20:59:42 * Molly nods Sep 03 20:59:48 Yes my love Sep 03 21:00:30 * Morgan nods Sep 03 21:00:36 Come on then, lets go find my uncle Sep 03 21:02:32 *the children go happily along with him* Sep 03 21:02:58 * Morgan wanders through to house, looking for Christopher Sep 03 21:04:09 *he's found in the library* Sep 03 21:06:32 F: Go hot house now Sep 03 21:06:43 * Molly is now known as Christopher Sep 03 21:06:56 I believe my young companions wish to take you up on your offer to go to the hot house again Sep 03 21:07:22 * Christopher stands up, smiling "wonderful. Shall we?" Sep 03 21:07:59 * Morgan nods Sep 03 21:09:08 * Morgan whistles, calling to Bir Sep 03 21:10:13 *she comes down from the bookshelf, flying through the open window Sep 03 21:10:38 I guess she knows where we're going Sep 03 21:12:00 * Christopher nods, walking with them Sep 03 21:12:08 How are you, dear boy? Sep 03 21:16:22 Alright. A bit sad to be leaving tomorrow Sep 03 21:18:41 * Christopher nods Sep 03 21:19:00 It's not as long as you used to stay, but you have much to do Sep 03 21:19:29 * Morgan nods Sep 03 21:20:08 At the very least... I'd like to send mother and father here for their anniversary... Molly suggested it'd be nice for them to come back to where it started Sep 03 21:20:56 * Christopher nods Sep 03 21:21:03 That would be wonderful Sep 03 21:21:36 Were you thinking the fourteenth of September this year, or next? Sep 03 21:22:03 Next Sep 03 21:23:26 * Christopher nods Sep 03 21:23:45 You'll suggest it to your Father when you get there? Sep 03 21:23:57 * Morgan nods Sep 03 21:24:06 Strategically, I think Sep 03 21:25:32 * Christopher nods, thanking the butler who lets them out Sep 03 21:27:41 He can be resistant to ideas Sep 03 21:28:20 * Morgan nods Sep 03 21:28:25 Unless he thinks its his own Sep 03 21:30:32 * Christopher nods Sep 03 21:31:05 He's always been that way Sep 03 21:31:21 * Morgan nods Sep 03 21:32:28 F: go quick ballhead Sep 03 21:33:03 * Morgan walks a little faster Sep 03 21:35:31 * Christopher smiles indulgently, saying quietly "this one has you wrapped around her little finger" Sep 03 21:39:04 * Morgan shrugs a little Sep 03 21:39:44 Her mind works a little differently to most, I just accommodate that thats all Sep 03 21:40:56 * Christopher nods Sep 03 21:41:12 Edward will find that more of a challenge Sep 03 21:42:26 He's not so set in his ways as he was... it'll still be a challenge though Sep 03 21:42:40 * Christopher nods Sep 03 21:42:46 It will Sep 03 21:43:54 * Morgan shrugs Sep 03 21:44:02 He'll get through it Sep 03 21:44:43 * Christopher nods, leading through the gardens. They look more blooming today Sep 03 21:45:47 * Morgan wanders along, letting a hand trail across the greenery Sep 03 21:46:15 *Bir flies up, landing on the hot house roof* Sep 03 21:47:10 * Morgan looks up at her briefly Sep 03 21:47:27 *she wolf whistles* Sep 03 21:47:28 That bird is disturbingly clever sometimes Sep 03 21:47:33 * Christopher laughs Sep 03 21:47:43 She is indeed. What a treasure Sep 03 21:49:28 * Morgan nods, ushering the children into the hot house before whistling at the bird Sep 03 21:49:33 Come on, inside Sep 03 21:50:34 *they go in, and Bir follows Sep 03 21:53:12 I'm thinking of maybe having one of these built at Hafenlohr Sep 03 21:53:59 * Christopher nods Sep 03 21:54:44 They grow well. Your hot summers will make it a very hot and sweaty place to be! Sep 03 21:55:15 Bir would love it. Its a lot colder than her homeland Sep 03 21:55:21 * Christopher nods Sep 03 21:55:52 Young Uinise was telling me so *Varick and Florrie go off together* she's an unusual young woman Sep 03 21:56:31 You refer to her forthrightness? Sep 03 21:58:25 * Christopher nods, pruning a plant Sep 03 21:58:56 But also she's unwed, and far from ugly Sep 03 22:00:02 Her upfront nature is a cultural trait... her people are all like that to one extent or another... as for her marital status, she has no interest in having children and her peoples view to relationships is more... liberal than our own culture Sep 03 22:00:52 Oh? They do not marry? Sep 03 22:02:08 Men and women marry once the man has proven himself worthy of fatherhood and gained the backing of others... relationships between them are quite strictly moderated, and women are fiercely protected Sep 03 22:02:27 * Christopher nods Sep 03 22:02:37 I can see the logic in that Sep 03 22:02:42 * Morgan nods Sep 03 22:03:39 Relationships between men and other men, or likewise women with women are... well, its entirely accepted there, there is no shame or discrimination Sep 03 22:05:13 * Christopher examines a stem "she said their religion is entirely deviated from ours" Sep 03 22:05:26 * Morgan nods Sep 03 22:05:28 entirely Sep 03 22:05:36 * Christopher nods Sep 03 22:05:55 Her inclinations lean towards her own gender? Sep 03 22:06:18 * Morgan nods Sep 03 22:06:20 yes Sep 03 22:06:38 * Christopher nods, snipping the stem Sep 03 22:07:05 It will make it easier here for her not to find an Eisen husband Sep 03 22:07:30 * Morgan nods Sep 03 22:08:08 Even if she was interested in men, and if she found an Eisen man she liked, he'd never be approved, so they could never marry anyway Sep 03 22:08:38 Why is that? Are they trying to keep their blood lines pure? Sep 03 22:09:39 No... I don't think so anyway Sep 03 22:11:28 * Christopher nods Sep 03 22:11:57 It sounds like a wonderous place Sep 03 22:12:11 * Morgan nods Sep 03 22:12:22 The food is quite something Sep 03 22:16:15 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Sep 03 22:16:16 * Christopher has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
