**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 28 04:10:44 2024 Apr 28 04:10:44 * Now talking on #7thsea Apr 28 12:46:24 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Apr 28 13:29:19 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Apr 28 13:29:56 No, not really... just a little puzzle I haven't figured out yet, thats all. It'll come to me Apr 28 13:29:56 * Seb nods Apr 28 13:29:56 * Morgan picks up another rock Apr 28 13:29:56 Two more I reckon Apr 28 13:29:56 * Seb nods, looking still Apr 28 13:29:58 [found one... it smells like you] Apr 28 13:30:00 [they usually do] Apr 28 13:30:04 [well, my hands and your shirt are going to bed together now] Apr 28 13:30:06 [alright my darling] Apr 28 13:30:08 [You can find me any time if you have nightmares and need me] Apr 28 13:30:10 [alright my love] Apr 28 13:30:12 [I love you] Apr 28 13:30:14 [and I you] Apr 28 13:30:16 *he hears nothing more from her, and she sends him no more images from what she is doing* Apr 28 13:30:18 * Morgan picks up another rock Apr 28 13:30:20 That should do Apr 28 13:31:49 * Molly is now known as Seb Apr 28 13:31:59 Now we take them to the fire Apr 28 13:32:13 * Morgan nods, looking around before starting back Apr 28 13:32:47 * Seb is the first to notice the smell of DeeDee’s tobacco Apr 28 13:32:53 Can you smell that? Apr 28 13:33:00 * Morgan nods Apr 28 13:33:02 aye Apr 28 13:33:31 I do not hear Breadbox giggling yet... Apr 28 13:33:49 * Morgan nods Apr 28 13:33:53 That stuff sets him right off Apr 28 13:33:57 * Seb nods Apr 28 13:34:02 It always did Apr 28 13:34:54 DeeDee brings it... it helps with his nightmares Apr 28 13:35:34 * Seb nods Apr 28 13:35:43 Does it with yours? Apr 28 13:36:25 No... it eases the effects they have on ym body but thats about it Apr 28 13:37:00 * Seb nods Apr 28 13:37:20 I tried it once, early in the War Apr 28 13:37:24 Oh? Apr 28 13:37:55 It makes me silly, whimsical, and sentimental Apr 28 13:38:11 * Morgan nods Apr 28 13:38:20 I get like that occasionally Apr 28 13:38:29 * Seb nods Apr 28 13:38:58 I flirt more with women Apr 28 13:39:14 I've never been one to do that Apr 28 13:40:37 * Seb nods Apr 28 13:40:42 I have heard that Apr 28 13:40:51 Oh? From who? Apr 28 13:40:55 Breadbox Apr 28 13:41:09 Ah... you'll have heard of Saint Morgan then Apr 28 13:41:24 * Seb smiles faintly “I have” Apr 28 13:41:34 * Morgan sighs Apr 28 13:41:40 Uncalled for if you ask me... if accurate Apr 28 13:41:47 * Seb smiles Apr 28 13:42:19 The trick is to take a nickname with you to War, and there’s less chance you will be given one Apr 28 13:42:49 Ah but... you've picked up one since the war Apr 28 13:42:57 Have I? Apr 28 13:43:12 * Morgan nods, smiling a little Apr 28 13:43:30 Thanks to HeinzHarolds tales... Varick calls you the bum man Apr 28 13:46:40 * Seb chuckles Apr 28 13:46:44 Ah yes. Apr 28 13:49:28 How are things with you and Hannalore? Apr 28 13:50:54 We are still getting to know each other, and my family are getting to know her too Apr 28 13:51:28 * Morgan nods Apr 28 13:52:51 It is early days, I am not at present in a rush toward matrimony. I am not insensible to the fact that she is recently divorced either Apr 28 13:53:17 * Morgan nods Apr 28 13:53:30 She seems more... calm than last time I met her Apr 28 13:55:48 From what I know, she has been through a great deal Apr 28 13:56:11 * Morgan nods Apr 28 13:56:14 Thats fair to say Apr 28 13:57:05 I know her husband kept a mistress that he was very committed to Apr 28 13:57:41 Reinpfalz? Apr 28 13:57:47 * Seb nods Apr 28 13:58:16 To the point of impotency with his wife. Apr 28 13:58:31 Having met him, I cant say that'd bother me much Apr 28 13:59:20 No, but I think it hurt her even if she wasn’t wanting to be with him that way. Apr 28 13:59:49 * Morgan nods Apr 28 13:59:52 Probably Apr 28 14:00:19 She wouldn’t take well to history repeating itself Apr 28 14:00:43 No, I imagine not Apr 28 14:01:08 * Seb nods Apr 28 14:01:27 Time will tell with she and I Apr 28 14:01:47 Aye, I imagine it will Apr 28 14:02:47 *he can hear HH giggling* Apr 28 14:03:00 * Seb glances at Morgan, smirking slightly Apr 28 14:03:26 He listed, what, two minutes? Apr 28 14:03:46 * Seb nods “I’ve heard that said about him before “ Apr 28 14:03:54 * Morgan snorts, laughing Apr 28 14:04:01 * Seb laughs too Apr 28 14:04:54 *They get back to the camp. Mina and Verity both look tired* Apr 28 14:05:20 * Morgan kneels down, placing the rocks Apr 28 14:05:30 Won't be long, then they'll be ready Apr 28 14:06:08 *they nod. HH offers Morgan the tobacco pipe* Apr 28 14:08:55 * Morgan shakes his head, sipping his drink Apr 28 14:10:28 *The others chat quite easily. Edward looks at ease with his friends, an arm around Mina. With Alice gone inside, there’s no clear reminded out here of his error of judgment. DeeDee has the pipe back. Apr 28 14:12:25 * Morgan sits with his dog, just sipping his drink and listening to the others Apr 28 14:14:47 *They talk about Eisen now and Eisen then, during the War. Even Yensid chips in, and Morgan can piece together that Yensid was a rope merchant’s son in Atemlos before the War Apr 28 14:16:24 * Morgan glances at HeinzHarold, mildly surprised Apr 28 14:17:21 *HH shrugs slightly* $wasn’t sure he was made by two humans at all, if I’m ‘onest$ Apr 28 14:17:44 $no... me either$ Apr 28 14:18:24 Verity: We had our honeymoon in Atemlos Apr 28 14:19:04 Ad: *he nods* Yensid recommended the hotel we stayed in, and the restaurants we ate in Apr 28 14:19:28 HH: $almost like they were on honeymoon with him in tow!$ Apr 28 14:19:46 $He and father are surprisingly close$ Apr 28 14:22:44 Potts: When are you taking Mina on honeymoon, Tiggy? A visit to Zench doesn’t count Apr 28 14:23:11 Z: Hey! I’ll have you know many people like to come to Zenchlerin. Apr 28 14:23:22 * Morgan coughs Apr 28 14:23:23 Once... Apr 28 14:23:40 *This makes the group laugh* Apr 28 14:24:19 Edward looks at Mina: Where would you like me to take you, my Lady? Apr 28 14:24:54 *The smirking goes no further than that, given that Verity and Mina are with them* Apr 28 14:26:19 Mina: To the Golden Lantern Inn In Heilgrunde, where Molly and Inga went Apr 28 14:26:30 HH $not together, obviously$ Apr 28 14:26:40 Thats a good choice Apr 28 14:27:12 Verity: It seems popular, what did you like about it, dear boy? Apr 28 14:27:39 HH: $oh man, she does -not- want an honest answer to that,$ Apr 28 14:27:55 The gardens are very nice, its very peaceful Apr 28 14:27:59 *Mina is smiling, watching Morgan* Apr 28 14:28:42 Dekker: Would you recommend it for me to take Diana there? Apr 28 14:29:25 $there’s an image no one needs, little rat-dog licking bare feet during it!$ Apr 28 14:29:43 I'm sure you'd both enjoy it... though I do wonder if more sightseeing would be more in her wheelhouse... Apr 28 14:29:51 $I didn't need that image...$ Apr 28 14:30:20 *HH just giggles quietly* Apr 28 14:30:48 Verity: Dear boy, I am going to retire Apr 28 14:30:56 * Morgan nods Apr 28 14:31:01 Of course, mother... Apr 28 14:31:22 * Morgan moves, carefully taking some warmed rocks and carrying them to her tent Apr 28 14:31:53 *Adalbrecht, Verity, Edward, and Mina follow along* Apr 28 14:32:05 *Verity smiles* You’re so clever Apr 28 14:32:20 * Morgan smiles Apr 28 14:32:33 I'm glad you think so Apr 28 14:34:48 *The rocks get placed. Their little tent looks cosy, plenty of blankets and cushions, the others likely roughing it more* Apr 28 14:35:17 alright... I'll see you in the morning Apr 28 14:35:33 *Verity kisses his cheek* Good night, dear boy Apr 28 14:36:14 * Morgan smiles, bowing his head before leaving them alone Apr 28 14:37:27 *Edward is holding Mina’s hand* Do you have another rock, brother. Apr 28 14:37:29 ? Apr 28 14:37:50 Of course... I would not leave my sister cold Apr 28 14:38:31 *Mina smiles at Edward* I think we will be very warm when we’ll be close together Apr 28 14:39:10 *Edward watches her a moment, head tilted, then seems to dismiss it* Thank you, Morgan Apr 28 14:39:41 * Morgan chuckles, going to get another couple of rocks Apr 28 14:40:24 *the men are chatting, though Heidi and Zench seem to be absent* Apr 28 14:40:58 Where've the lovebirds disappeared to? Apr 28 14:42:21 Potts grins: A short moonlight stroll, apparently Apr 28 14:42:34 * Morgan nods, picking up the rocks Apr 28 14:43:31 HH: $want me to go keep an eye. Bit of chaperoning?$ Apr 28 14:43:49 $Might be worth it... though she seems hellbent on denying him until they're married$ Apr 28 14:44:10 $Give them ten minutes then$ Apr 28 14:44:17 $Yeah$ Apr 28 14:44:21 I'll be back in a minute Apr 28 14:44:46 *everyone nods, still chatting about Heidi and Zench* Apr 28 14:44:57 * Morgan carries the rocks back to Edward and Mina Apr 28 14:45:41 *They look happy, their tent still more comfortable then the others will likely have* Apr 28 14:46:26 * Morgan places the rocks Apr 28 14:46:35 I'll bid you goodnight... don't do anything I wouldn't... Apr 28 14:47:51 *Both of them raise their eyebrows at this in very similar gestures* Apr 28 14:48:27 * Morgan chuckles, inclining his head before leaving them and going back to the others Apr 28 14:49:30 *He catches Heinrich saying “When you’ve already got one child, you take the chance when you can, and if she doesn’t get there before you’re done, that just how it is” Apr 28 14:49:35 * Seb is now known as HH Apr 28 14:50:09 * HH quietly replies “Mebbie someone will show her what she’s missing then...” Apr 28 14:50:25 * Morgan sighs, sitting down Apr 28 14:50:39 *Seb looks to HH, shaking his head subtly* Apr 28 14:51:33 Potts, to DeeDee: Wild horses, a million guilders, and the love of my father wouldn’t get me to admit to something like that with a woman I’m not pay8ng! Apr 28 14:52:20 *DeeDee nods a little, inhaling from the pipe. Heinrich looks unimpressed* Apr 28 14:52:41 Heinrich: Not having children, I’m sure you don’t understand. Apr 28 14:53:19 *HH watches Heinrich. Morgan can see his best friend bristling* Apr 28 14:53:47 *Seb watches the interplay between the men* Apr 28 14:53:58 $leave it$ Apr 28 14:54:59 Potts: I’ve never found it a hinderance, and I’ve been with plenty of women that already have children. Generally they’ve got inept, sometimes even impotent husbands too Apr 28 14:55:54 *Dekker frowns* Potts, watch your tongue. Apr 28 14:56:38 *Seb says nothing, but Morgan can almost see his brain ticking away* Apr 28 14:57:30 Might not be the only one who should be watchin’ his tongue. God knows he’s not doing much else with it but lettin’ it run. Apr 28 14:58:21 *Heinrich looks at HH* If you have a problem with me, just come out and say it. Don’t be a coward and hide behind clever words Apr 28 14:58:58 *A hush settles across all the men now, watching the two men at odds* Apr 28 14:59:05 * Morgan groans loudly Apr 28 15:00:55 HH: *He stands up* You’re not worth my time. Nor anyone else’s. I pity your wife. Apr 28 15:01:41 Right... I warned the pair of you. Both of you have worn your welcome right now,so you can both fuck off indoors where you can explain to your wives why you've been sent back like scolded children. Apr 28 15:02:50 *HH just looks at Morgan briefly before he heads off into the darkness. Ballard looks up before he gets up and follows HH* Apr 28 15:02:57 * HH is now known as Heinrich Apr 28 15:03:19 I need to stay here for Rickon. My wife said so. Apr 28 15:03:33 Rickon is fine with us. Go. Apr 28 15:04:23 * Heinrich gets up, stalking off in a slightly different route, more directly toward the house Apr 28 15:04:56 *This leaves Morgan, Seb, Dekker, Witts, Potts, and DeeDee* Apr 28 15:05:15 * Heinrich is now known as Dekker Apr 28 15:05:30 * Dekker tops off the drinks before looking to Morgan Apr 28 15:05:37 What’s the issue there? Apr 28 15:05:54 Heinrich treated Inga badly when they were together. Apr 28 15:06:52 Seb: Inga And -Heinrich-. I wouldn’t have imagined that Apr 28 15:07:08 Potts: Before she married Heinzharold? Apr 28 15:07:16 * Morgan scowls at him Apr 28 15:07:19 Of course Apr 28 15:07:28 DeeDee: Careful... Apr 28 15:08:26 Potts raises his hands in apology: No offence, I just know many women who don’t keep their vows Apr 28 15:08:41 I am aware Apr 28 15:08:54 Witts: Many of those are thanks to you, Potts. Apr 28 15:10:29 Potts: I do nothing more than some flirting. Wives don’t need any persuading to fall head over teakettle for a younger, more attractive man, and they’re better at not getting caught than their husbands are Apr 28 15:12:02 *he rolls his eyes* Funny, I’ve had four and all have been faithful. Morgan, you’ve had two that have never even considered other men... Apr 28 15:12:24 *Seb just watches the firelight quietly* Apr 28 15:12:28 * Morgan nods, sipping his drink Apr 28 15:14:06 Potts: I am only telling you what I have seen, and that is that women’s fidelity is always suspect, and you’d have to be extremely smart to catch them out Apr 28 15:15:20 DeeDee: I don’t think women are really sneaking around doing things they didn’t ought to be Apr 28 15:17:26 * Morgan glances at him Apr 28 15:17:59 I spent an awful lot of my time in the war in or near Vaticine camps and towns... Apr 28 15:18:50 Potts: Watching the officer’s wives swiving the young recruits? Apr 28 15:19:23 No... but I constantly found Vaticine soldiers... its almost like if you're immersed in a particular community, you're going to find that community... Apr 28 15:19:44 DeeDee: And that happened with you once, it wasn’t common. Apr 28 15:20:41 Potts shrugs at his friend, then looks at Morgan: Are you saying I have poor taste in women, or keep bad company? Apr 28 15:21:36 You're friends with my brother, and now here with us, the latter is a given... Apr 28 15:21:47 *Everyone laughs* Apr 28 15:22:07 Potts: And the former? Apr 28 15:23:07 I wouldn't say poor taste... but if you're constantly looking for that behaviour, of course you see it. Apr 28 15:23:55 Potts: You think it’s wrong to warn other men about the risks then? Apr 28 15:24:23 *Seb sips his drink, giving nothing away* Apr 28 15:24:46 Looking at things from your point of view, I'd have had to have believed there was nothing but Vaticine soldiers in the world for a long while... doesn't make it true Apr 28 15:26:36 *DeeDee offers Morgan the pipe* I don’t miss being on lookout watching them flit about in their white cloaks like ghosts Apr 28 15:26:58 * Morgan takes it, drawing a little before passing it on Apr 28 15:27:15 *That euphoria and relaxation hits as usual* Apr 28 15:27:21 I laid in a ditch for three days watching them come and go just feet from me... that was tense Apr 28 15:27:54 Witts: I’m surprised they couldn’t smell you after three days! Apr 28 15:28:05 *This gets the groups chuckling again* Apr 28 15:28:25 Suffice to say it wasn't a dry ditch... Apr 28 15:28:40 Potts: Not by the end of it! Apr 28 15:29:17 * Morgan shrugs Apr 28 15:29:20 Wasn't to begin with Apr 28 15:29:33 *Seb looks at the pipe a moment before taking a little. He seems to know what to do, but he still coughs hard* Apr 28 15:29:59 *The others chuckle at his reaction* Apr 28 15:31:26 *Yensid slips back in to the group around the fire. The others don’t even seem to have registered that he was gone, but he’s grinning* Apr 28 15:31:45 I dread to ask... Apr 28 15:32:11 Yensid grins more: Give it about three minutes and you’ll know Apr 28 15:32:33 * Morgan sighs, shifting where he's sat Apr 28 15:33:24 Are you ready for the baptisms tomorrow? Apr 28 15:33:52 *the others start talking about the tobacco, and Yensid is offered it but refuses* Apr 28 15:34:32 Providing I don't have to be running around after people who cant behave themselves, aye Apr 28 15:34:41 * Dekker smiles Apr 28 15:34:55 That sounds like most of my last decade in the War Apr 28 15:36:01 * Morgan nods Apr 28 15:36:07 I imagine they kept you busy Apr 28 15:36:35 * Dekker nods Apr 28 15:37:18 So many young men were given to my command, but Vania used to say there was something special about this final batch Apr 28 15:38:47 * Morgan nods Apr 28 15:39:46 * Dekker looks the half of the remaining six boys, now men, over Apr 28 15:40:10 They’ve certainly had their trials and tribulations along the way, as did I Apr 28 15:40:38 * Morgan nods Apr 28 15:40:44 We all carry scars of one type or another Apr 28 15:40:51 * Dekker nods Apr 28 15:41:23 Vania used to say, if it is worth dying for, it’s worth living for. That’s what I had to do for them Apr 28 15:41:40 * Morgan nods Apr 28 15:41:55 From what I've been told of her, she'd not have wanted you to be alone and unhappy Apr 28 15:42:20 Not at all. She made that clear before she passed Apr 28 15:43:13 * Morgan watches him speculatively for a moment before nodding Apr 28 15:43:46 There were our boys too, and my daughter Charlotte Apr 28 15:45:00 * Morgan nods Apr 28 15:46:24 Did Diana say that Charlotte is to have a child? Apr 28 15:46:37 * Morgan nods Apr 28 15:46:45 Yes, she did Apr 28 15:46:57 * Dekker nods Apr 28 15:47:40 She and her husband have my late wife Mary’s house. That was her Mother Apr 28 15:48:33 * Morgan nods Apr 28 15:48:39 That seems... right... Apr 28 15:50:02 * Dekker nods Apr 28 15:50:32 I should have done it sooner, but with the memories of both Mary and Vania there... Apr 28 15:50:46 I understand Apr 28 15:50:54 * Dekker smiles slightly, nodding Apr 28 15:50:57 I know. Apr 28 15:51:32 * Morgan nods, sipping his drink Apr 28 15:52:11 Charlotte was born there. The boys were born out on campaign though Apr 28 15:52:29 And now Charlottes child will be born there Apr 28 15:52:34 * Dekker nods Apr 28 15:52:49 Theus spare her her Mother’s fate! Apr 28 15:52:57 * Morgan nods Apr 28 15:53:06 *Morgan feels watched a little* Apr 28 15:53:09 You must be anxious about it Apr 28 15:53:14 * Dekker nods Apr 28 15:53:24 * Morgan stretches a little, casually glancing around Apr 28 15:53:28 Very, not that I will let Charlotte know it Apr 28 15:53:45 *he can smell that incense Uinise uses* Apr 28 15:55:13 I daresay she already does Apr 28 15:55:37 * Morgan shifts a little, looking around discreetly Apr 28 15:56:17 *he can see nothing, but he feels the soft presence of the Goddess Of Plenty regardless* Apr 28 15:56:26 Probably Apr 28 16:04:49 Women tend to notice more than we give them credit for Apr 28 16:06:50 * Dekker nods, smiling Apr 28 16:07:08 Some of our best spies were allegedly women Apr 28 16:07:30 * Morgan nods Apr 28 16:07:34 That doesn't really surprise me Apr 28 16:10:10 * Dekker nods. There’s a sudden shriek of laughter as Heidi pelts through their little campsite with Zench’s breeches on, her dress all tucked in at the back giving her a really big bottom. She runs right past them out the other side. Yensid grins at Morgan* Apr 28 16:10:36 * Dekker watches her go, then just sips his drink Apr 28 16:11:08 I don't -really- fancy seeing Zench without his breeches so... I'm going to go for a little walk. I won't be long Apr 28 16:11:20 * Dekker nods Apr 28 16:12:21 *he can hear Heidi hiding behind a tree when he gets near, it’s so quiet out hear he can here her hard breaths* Apr 28 16:12:50 Cruel, Heidi... Apr 28 16:13:01 * Dekker is now known as Heidi Apr 28 16:13:04 * Heidi laughs Apr 28 16:13:34 I got him good this time Apr 28 16:14:20 So I gather... Apr 28 16:14:30 Now he’ll be horny -and- mad Apr 28 16:14:46 Definitely cruel Apr 28 16:14:54 * Heidi grins Apr 28 16:15:01 He loves it really Apr 28 16:15:16 All part of the chase, huh Apr 28 16:15:21 * Heidi nods Apr 28 16:15:36 It’s a long chase when you’re chasing a born-again virgin Apr 28 16:15:50 Apparently so Apr 28 16:16:50 I’ve put the currants in for the dead-mouse breeches Apr 28 16:17:35 * Morgan nods Apr 28 16:17:42 Good... glad I could help with that Apr 28 16:19:04 * Heidi nods Apr 28 16:19:33 His indignation will be partly your fault. You’re a good co-conspirator Apr 28 16:20:27 I have my moments Apr 28 16:21:30 * Heidi nods Apr 28 16:22:00 why did you follow me? Ohhh! Maybe you’re just a sucker for a big ass? *she grins* Apr 28 16:22:22 I hate to dent your ego here, but I'm just going for a little walk Apr 28 16:23:35 * Heidi nods “It’s a shame Molly went to bed, a moonlight stroll is always good, you just have to be careful if a wicked woman tells you to take your breeches off!” Apr 28 16:24:01 You'd think he'd realise it was coming really Apr 28 16:25:49 He was busy thinking that he might be! Apr 28 16:27:54 * Morgan chuckles Apr 28 16:28:46 * Heidi smiles “I’m going to go and give his breeches back, he’s probably gone to the others to beg for help by now” Apr 28 16:29:09 * Morgan nods Apr 28 16:29:14 alright. I'll be back soon Apr 28 16:29:35 * Heidi nods, going back towards the fire Apr 28 16:31:23 * Morgan walks toward the lake, looking around Apr 28 16:33:28 *It’s dark and quiet, reflecting the stars. In the window his bedchamber, a lamp still glows, like the Fischler crest* Apr 28 16:35:10 * Morgan watches it for a moment before continuing on Apr 28 16:37:43 *He catches a brief movement in that window, Molly silhouetted as she moves to extinguish the lamp, her dark form side on, small bump a rounded curve blocking the light, and then all is dark again Apr 28 16:39:19 * Morgan looks around to make sure he's alone before speaking quietly Apr 28 16:39:22 I know your'e out there Apr 28 16:40:17 *He feels a presence behind him* Apr 28 16:40:35 * Morgan turns Apr 28 16:43:11 *The woman is unfamiliar in her appearance, blonde, but her hair braided with beads, leaves, and berries, and where her limbs are bare there are tattoos of vines, fruits, wheat sheafs, and fish* I am here Apr 28 16:43:36 * Morgan takes a step back Apr 28 16:44:27 I know you've visited me before but... Apr 28 16:44:33 yes? Apr 28 16:44:40 * Heidi is now known as Fulla Apr 28 16:44:55 I don't know, its different somehow... its... more real? Apr 28 16:45:21 You do not need to be afraid, little one Apr 28 16:45:40 * Morgan nods a little Apr 28 16:50:18 Sometimes I just come by to see you Apr 28 16:50:27 * Morgan smiles Apr 28 16:50:31 Me? Why? Apr 28 16:50:41 Because I like you Apr 28 16:51:18 We're having a baby Apr 28 16:52:16 * Fulla smiles Apr 28 16:52:21 Yes you are Apr 28 16:52:32 * Morgan smiles Apr 28 16:52:46 I wish the world would be an easier place for him... but we can only make the best of what we have Apr 28 16:53:14 There is always a place for you in Capperlucia Apr 28 16:53:27 * Morgan nods Apr 28 16:53:50 I can't. There is too much at stake, and I can do much here, albeit slowly Apr 28 16:53:59 * Fulla nods Apr 28 16:54:13 I know Apr 28 16:55:33 I don't think I could forgive myself if I turned my back on the Apr 28 16:55:36 that* Apr 28 16:56:39 * Fulla nods Apr 28 16:57:06 I have something for your sons, a baptism gift Apr 28 16:57:30 Oh? Apr 28 16:58:18 * Fulla opens her hand. Inside it is a stone that glows vibrant green, purple, and pink Apr 28 16:58:30 Whats that? Apr 28 17:00:09 You should find a safe place here and bury it in the ground. It will make a shield that will keep them, and anyone they want with them, safe from harm or detection, and lead them to a safe place far away if they need it Apr 28 17:00:30 I don't... I don't understand Apr 28 17:00:45 It will put them under my protection Apr 28 17:01:07 And Theus won't be unhappy about that? Apr 28 17:02:11 You are not asking me for it, I am offering it. You believe in me, but you do not hold me in your heart as you do him, and you do not worship me Apr 28 17:02:35 Safe from harm and detection... from what? Apr 28 17:02:43 Everything Apr 28 17:03:13 like... monsters... Apr 28 17:03:23 * Fulla nods Apr 28 17:03:29 But not a punch in the nose... Apr 28 17:04:08 If they take someone into it with them who hits them in the nose, no Apr 28 17:04:22 How big an area does it affect? Apr 28 17:04:52 ten feet in diameter Apr 28 17:05:16 It moves with them? Apr 28 17:05:48 No, it grows in the ground Apr 28 17:06:13 So there'll be a ten foot spot in the grounds... best give some though where to put it then Apr 28 17:06:34 Yes, and the Nieblungen cannot enter it Apr 28 17:06:53 Because they are supernatural... Apr 28 17:07:02 yes Apr 28 17:07:16 Makes sense I suppose... Apr 28 17:07:34 You do not need to accept the gift Apr 28 17:07:44 * Morgan smiles Apr 28 17:08:13 Refuse a gift that will help protect my children? Thats hardly likely. I'm very grateful, I just like to understand Apr 28 17:09:00 * Fulla smiles Apr 28 17:09:03 Yes you do Apr 28 17:09:23 * Morgan gently takes the stone Apr 28 17:09:36 *it feels very light* Apr 28 17:09:45 * Morgan sighs Apr 28 17:09:49 It'd skip so nicely Apr 28 17:09:57 * Fulla smiles Apr 28 17:10:19 It would still glow at the bottom of the lake Apr 28 17:11:01 Not an ideal place for safety for children. I'll find somewhere for it... Where will it lead them? Apr 28 17:13:37 To a place of safety. It would be hard for you to understand. Apr 28 17:14:07 Something of an understatement Apr 28 17:14:38 * Fulla smiles “Yes” Apr 28 17:15:05 I'll need to tell them about it? Apr 28 17:16:01 Only that it’s a safe place to go Apr 28 17:16:33 But I'll have to tell them where in the grounds it is... what to do... Apr 28 17:19:46 * Fulla smiles “That is up to you, little one” Apr 28 17:20:14 * Morgan nods Apr 28 17:20:17 Thank you Apr 28 17:22:30 You are welcome Apr 28 17:23:16 I don't suppose you've managed to find Him? Apr 28 17:24:45 No, I have not. I am still searching for him, as are many others Apr 28 17:25:18 * Morgan nods Apr 28 17:25:32 Sometimes... I feel his presence... I assume its his anyway Apr 28 17:27:55 it is nice to feel the presence of a God, I am told Apr 28 17:28:16 * Morgan smiles Apr 28 17:28:52 I quite like it. Its... peaceful... he leans forward, whispering* your presence smells better though Apr 28 17:29:49 * Fulla smiles “I am glad you think so” Apr 28 17:30:07 * Morgan nods Apr 28 17:30:12 I'll miss it once Uinise goes home Apr 28 17:31:00 Uinise would let you have some Apr 28 17:31:06 * Morgan nods Apr 28 17:31:12 I imagine so... I'm going to miss her Apr 28 17:32:12 * Fulla nods Apr 28 17:32:41 I do not think it will be the end of your interactions with her Apr 28 17:32:54 No? Apr 28 17:35:20 * Fulla smiles Apr 28 17:35:32 Time will tell, little one Apr 28 17:35:53 I suppose so Apr 28 17:38:22 * Fulla smiles “I hope your party is full of joy tomorrow” Apr 28 17:38:34 * Morgan smiles Apr 28 17:38:44 Thank you. Amidst all the politics, it will be Apr 28 17:43:25 * Fulla smiles Apr 28 17:43:35 Maybe they’d all like some blueberries Apr 28 17:43:44 * Morgan nods Apr 28 17:43:47 They are very good... Apr 28 17:44:00 * Fulla nods “Goodnight, little one” Apr 28 17:44:13 * Morgan bows his head Apr 28 17:44:14 goodnight Apr 28 17:45:04 * Fulla disappears in the space of his blinking Apr 28 17:45:36 * Morgan blows out air, pocketing the rock and moving back toward the others Apr 28 17:50:37 * Fulla has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 28 17:51:00 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Apr 28 18:00:43 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 28 18:08:24 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Apr 28 18:13:20 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 28 18:52:57 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 28 20:41:52 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Apr 28 20:43:43 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Apr 28 20:44:32 I do not think it will be the end of your interactions with her Apr 28 20:44:32 No? Apr 28 20:44:32 * Fulla smiles Apr 28 20:44:32 Time will tell, little one Apr 28 20:44:32 I suppose so Apr 28 20:44:34 * Fulla smiles “I hope your party is full of joy tomorrow” Apr 28 20:44:36 * Morgan smiles Apr 28 20:44:38 Thank you. Amidst all the politics, it will be Apr 28 20:44:42 * Fulla smiles Apr 28 20:44:44 Maybe they’d all like some blueberries Apr 28 20:44:46 * Morgan nods Apr 28 20:44:48 They are very good... Apr 28 20:44:50 * Fulla nods “Goodnight, little one” Apr 28 20:44:52 * Morgan bows his head Apr 28 20:44:54 goodnight Apr 28 20:44:56 * Fulla disappears in the space of his blinking Apr 28 20:44:58 * Morgan blows out air, pocketing the rock and moving back toward the others Apr 28 20:47:06 *they’re chatting and drinking, but seem to be settling. The tobacco is going around, and Seb is smiling more. He looks much more like he does in the dreams where he calls Molly Elritzelein Apr 28 20:47:41 * Morgan settles down, trying to relax Apr 28 20:50:09 *he gets given the tobacco, and encouraged. Heidi settles down, her head resting on Zench’s thigh. She looks relaxed, and surprisingly un-mischievous for once Apr 28 20:50:58 *Seb watches them, smiling* Apr 28 20:51:02 * Morgan takes a little before passing it on Apr 28 20:51:41 *Zench strokes her hair gently. He looks more at ease too* Apr 28 20:52:46 * Molly is now known as Potts Apr 28 20:53:06 I bet you’ll be glad to be rid of us all the day after tomorrow Apr 28 20:54:35 Not particularly. I've never really had many friends, its... quite enjoyable having people around Apr 28 20:55:34 * Potts smiles “I didn’t have many either. My brothers both did, they’re very popular men” Apr 28 20:57:18 * Morgan nods Apr 28 20:57:21 Something I've never been Apr 28 20:58:38 I made more in the War, but in the Academy it was me, Edward, and then we picked up the dorkiest, most bookish boy and let him be our friend too Apr 28 20:58:47 Z: Thanks, Potts Apr 28 20:59:23 *Dekker, Witts, and DeeDee laugh. Heidi smiles, but she has her eyes closed* Apr 28 21:00:22 * Morgan nods, looking a combination of wistful and sad Apr 28 21:00:56 Seb: Which Academy did you attend, Morgan? Apr 28 21:01:19 Tannen Apr 28 21:02:43 Seb: I went to Steiger. It was obvious that I was going into the navy, not the army, and that is the better Academy for sea-faring Apr 28 21:04:25 * Morgan nods Apr 28 21:04:45 I sometimes wonder if things would've been different if I'd gone to a different academy Apr 28 21:05:35 Z: That’s life though. There’s so many things we might have done differently, so many different men we might have become Apr 28 21:05:56 *Seb glances at Morgan before finishing his drink* Apr 28 21:07:18 Aye, I suppose so Apr 28 21:08:59 Witts: Maybe Potts would have been happily married *he smirks* Apr 28 21:09:30 Lets stay within the realm of reason... Apr 28 21:09:44 *Potts nods* Unlikely. Apr 28 21:10:40 Heidi, eyes closed: What would you want your life to look like if you could choose? Apr 28 21:10:49 * Potts looks surprised “Me?!” Apr 28 21:11:01 *Heidi shrugs* Any of you Apr 28 21:11:53 DeeDee: I wouldn’t have these damned nightmares or queer turns. Apr 28 21:12:05 *Heidi nods* Apr 28 21:12:16 Turns? Apr 28 21:12:40 DeeDee: Where I get claustrophobic and lose my mind Apr 28 21:13:01 * Morgan nods, sipping his drink Apr 28 21:13:42 Witts: I guess I’d be rich, but actively rich, not passively Apr 28 21:13:56 Zench: Far too much like hard work! Apr 28 21:15:31 Sebastien/ Apr 28 21:15:45 * Potts sips his drink Apr 28 21:16:08 Seb: I guess... I wouldn’t be noble. Apr 28 21:16:26 *they all look at him with surprise, even Heidi opens her eyes* Apr 28 21:16:56 Heidi: What?! why?! Apr 28 21:18:31 Seb: *he smiles slightly* I wasn’t supposed to end up as Freiarr Insel, I was supposed to be a very minor relative to the Freiarr. Seventh in line, when I was born. Apr 28 21:19:02 Heidi: What happened? Apr 28 21:19:58 Seb is given the pipe and draws some, holding it before replying: War, infertility, and death from old age. Apr 28 21:24:22 *There’s nothing on Dekker’s face at the word infertility that shows that it is a sore subject to him* Apr 28 21:25:58 Heidi: So What would you do instead? Apr 28 21:26:42 Seb smiles: Sail, trade. Maybe marry, if I found the right woman who understood me. Apr 28 21:29:40 *Zench glances at Potts who just takes a mouthful of his drink* Apr 28 21:30:02 Heidi: Dekker? Apr 28 21:30:58 Dekker: Too complicated, I’m afraid. I am glad I don’t have the power to do it. Apr 28 21:31:48 Its very difficult when you've lost someone... Apr 28 21:32:51 Dekker nods: I have that three fold. Apr 28 21:33:44 Witts: I miss Vania though. *Potts, Zench, DeeDee, and Heidi all nod* Apr 28 21:37:44 Edward told me wonderful things of her Apr 28 21:38:20 Dekker: She was a good woman. Better than the world deserved. Apr 28 21:40:24 * Morgan nods Apr 28 21:40:28 So I'm told Apr 28 21:40:48 DeeDee: What about you, Morgan? Apr 28 21:42:29 Again,its difficult... how could I change anything that'd mean where I am not would not occur... though, I'd have liked more friends. Apr 28 21:42:49 Dekker: Now you have this rabble. Apr 28 21:43:54 I don't know... I cant help but think they're still Edwards friends Apr 28 21:50:50 Zench: We can be both Apr 28 21:51:17 I know you -can-... Apr 28 21:52:16 Potts: I’ve been friends with worse people Apr 28 21:52:31 Z: Been lovers with worse than that too! Apr 28 21:53:38 A kind offer, but I'll pass on -that- part thanks Apr 28 21:55:29 *they laugh at this* Apr 28 21:55:39 Heidi: is his ass too small? Apr 28 21:56:21 * Morgan shrugs Apr 28 21:56:23 I've seen worse Apr 28 21:58:05 Dekker: Heidi, What about you? Apr 28 21:59:04 Heidi smiles, closing her eyes again: I’d choose where I am. I have the thing I want, and he eats out of the palm of my hand... Apr 28 21:59:37 *Zench mutters in Thean* I’ll be doing more than that in June, my girl. Apr 28 22:01:29 * Morgan glances around to see if anyone else understands Apr 28 22:06:43 *no one seems to except Yensid, who is sat very unobtrusively* Apr 28 22:10:44 * Morgan smiles a little Apr 28 22:12:09 Seb: *He looks to Yensid, and they must have already been introduced because he seems relaxed enough to ask the seedy looking man what he would change* Apr 28 22:12:49 Yensid: I’d have been in a different place at a particular moment, and saved a life that I didn’t save in real life Apr 28 22:13:30 * Morgan watches him for a few moments Apr 28 22:19:09 * Potts has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Apr 28 23:14:35 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
