**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jul 12 00:17:51 2024 Jul 12 00:17:51 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Jul 12 18:36:14 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jul 12 18:51:52 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jul 12 18:53:10 *she and Emil go out of the room* Jul 12 18:53:11 *Inga goes back to HH now there’s no gossip to have. Edward looks at Florrie in his lap, and looks to Alice* Would you mind if I put Florrie to bed with you? Jul 12 18:53:11 HH: $brave move, wonder how that’ll go down$ Jul 12 18:53:11 * Morgan watches them for a moment Jul 12 18:53:11 *Alice nods* It is not a problem for me Jul 12 18:53:15 *Edward looks at Mina* I will be back very soon Jul 12 18:53:17 Might I make a suggestion? Jul 12 18:53:19 *the three of them look at him* Jul 12 18:53:21 Perhaps it would be an idea if Edward and Mina had a few minutes to get her tucked in before you go and help her settle? Jul 12 18:53:23 *Alice nods* Fine by me Jul 12 18:53:25 *3dward smiles gratefully* A good idea, brother Jul 12 18:53:27 * Morgan looks to Mina Jul 12 18:53:29 If thats alright with you little sister Jul 12 18:53:31 *Mina nods slightly, standing when Edward stands with Florrie who looks sleepy* Jul 12 18:56:03 *Edward, Mina, and Florrie go. Alice looks to Morgan with a smile* A: I’ll follow in a few minutes Jul 12 18:56:47 * Morgan nods Jul 12 18:57:49 I think Edwards been dying to do it... Jul 12 18:58:32 *Alice nods* He wants a closer bond with her, and for Mina to have it too Jul 12 18:58:50 * Morgan nods Jul 12 18:59:43 I hope they can get there Jul 12 19:00:26 * Molly is now known as Alice Jul 12 19:00:38 For his sake so do I Jul 12 19:01:29 I think it has done Florrie good being around everyone... Jul 12 19:02:36 * Alice smiles Jul 12 19:02:45 It has Jul 12 19:03:53 Having Sarah visit so she could be around the children went well, as well Jul 12 19:05:14 * Alice nods Jul 12 19:05:54 I think when we get back to Morgan’s Rock I’ll take her to play with the fishing families who moved in Jul 12 19:08:02 * Morgan nods, frowning a little Jul 12 19:09:05 * Alice smiles a little Jul 12 19:09:14 I know you don’t want us to go home Jul 12 19:09:28 Sorry... my face was saying what I was trying not to Jul 12 19:11:55 * Alice nods Jul 12 19:12:00 It was a bit Jul 12 19:12:53 I'm normally -much- better at it not doing that Jul 12 19:15:01 * Alice nods “difficult when it’s so tough though Jul 12 19:15:13 Tough? Jul 12 19:16:18 To say goodbye Jul 12 19:16:29 * Morgan nods Jul 12 19:16:40 I'd have thought you'd just be keen to get home... Jul 12 19:18:24 I’m keen to sail again, but I’ll miss the company here. There’ll only be me and Florrie again Jul 12 19:21:00 * Morgan nods Jul 12 19:21:13 Will you be spending time with Molly's siblings? Jul 12 19:23:39 * Alice nods Jul 12 19:23:58 We’ll still visit Beth and Pete each week when the Ketch goes over Jul 12 19:24:22 * Morgan nods Jul 12 19:24:26 That'll do Florrie good Jul 12 19:25:35 * Alice nods Jul 12 19:26:11 The children do a good job at trying to get her involved, but she’s just so shy and in her own world Jul 12 19:26:30 * Morgan nods Jul 12 19:26:47 She needs to know, I think, that she can join in if she wants to... Jul 12 19:27:50 * Alice nods Jul 12 19:28:06 I’ll keep encouraging her Jul 12 19:29:39 * Morgan nods Jul 12 19:30:34 I don’t want to leave them too long incase she gets upset Jul 12 19:30:49 * Morgan nods Jul 12 19:31:03 I'm fairly sure she won't love, but go if you feel the need to Jul 12 19:32:40 * Alice nods, leaving to follow them Jul 12 19:33:23 * Morgan watches her go before looking around, sipping his drink Jul 12 19:35:56 * Alice is now known as Inga Jul 12 19:36:32 * Inga comes to sit beside Morgan, smiling Jul 12 19:36:43 You alright love? Jul 12 19:37:48 * Inga nods Jul 12 19:38:00 Yes, what about you? Jul 12 19:38:29 * Morgan nods, sipping his drink Jul 12 19:40:07 * Inga looks around to be sure noone’s paying attention. Ruth and Ma are nagging Heinzharold about what jobs need doing at the farmhouse, Elsie, James, Walder, Theresa, Claudia, and Uinise are playing cards Jul 12 19:40:17 all better now? Jul 12 19:40:26 * Morgan nods, blushing Jul 12 19:41:42 yes... thank you Jul 12 19:41:50 * Inga smiles Jul 12 19:42:07 It’s no problem, I’m just happy to see Molly so happy Jul 12 19:43:08 She did seem to enjoy herself... Jul 12 19:47:07 * Inga giggles Jul 12 19:47:18 that’s what she said Jul 12 19:47:27 * Morgan smiles Jul 12 19:47:35 Been giving you all the details has she? Jul 12 19:48:49 Some of them. She said you were very sweet and romantic Jul 12 19:49:01 Little bit, aye Jul 12 19:51:41 That’s nice, and how you played with Emil Jul 12 19:52:35 Bit less... reserved than normal... Jul 12 19:53:30 * Inga has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Jul 12 19:53:30 * Morgan has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Jul 12 19:54:46 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Jul 12 19:58:59 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Jul 12 19:59:12 Bit less... reserved than normal... Jul 12 19:59:22 * Molly is now known as Inga Jul 12 19:59:29 it was cute Jul 12 19:59:45 Cute? Jul 12 20:00:03 that’s what Molly said Jul 12 20:01:45 * Morgan wrinkles hisnose Jul 12 20:02:35 * Inga giggles Jul 12 20:03:21 she said you’d make a face Jul 12 20:04:14 * Morgan nods Jul 12 20:04:18 Its not my favourite thing to be called Jul 12 20:05:51 * Inga leans closer, whispering “she also said you looked very hot” Jul 12 20:06:28 * Morgan blushes Jul 12 20:06:32 She did mention that... Jul 12 20:07:31 * Inga nods Jul 12 20:08:03 we really like seeing men being good with children Jul 12 20:09:08 Oh? Jul 12 20:10:54 it’s really appealing. it always makes me want to take Heinzharold home Jul 12 20:11:30 Seems it has the same effect on Molly Jul 12 20:13:31 * Inga nods Jul 12 20:13:33 definitely Jul 12 20:14:40 Seems a bit odd to me Jul 12 20:14:52 * Inga giggles Jul 12 20:14:54 why? Jul 12 20:15:45 Just seems a bit of a strange thing to turn you on... Jul 12 20:16:37 I think it makes sense. we see you all being loving with children, so our bodies want to make babies with you Jul 12 20:16:56 Shouldn't that then work with all men though, not just yours? Jul 12 20:18:09 * Inga thinks “I think it definitely makes all men seem -more- attractive” Jul 12 20:19:30 huh... interesting... Jul 12 20:19:39 what? Jul 12 20:21:58 Just interesting... Jul 12 20:22:24 you don’t get that when you see Molly playing with the children? Jul 12 20:22:36 * Morgan rubs absently at his forearm Jul 12 20:22:58 I don't know... a little maybe... Jul 12 20:23:26 are your scars itchy today? Jul 12 20:23:58 Probably the longest I've had them covered in quite a while now Jul 12 20:24:11 * Inga nods Jul 12 20:24:24 why not roll up your sleeves? Jul 12 20:25:20 * Morgan nods toward Emmilene and Ruth Jul 12 20:25:36 first... they have not seen them but... most of all, they'd make Mina uncomfortable Jul 12 20:25:50 okay, but why? Jul 12 20:26:18 I'm not sure... but I don't want to make her uncomfortable Jul 12 20:26:32 * Inga nods Jul 12 20:26:55 I never had the nightmares from them that you thought I’d get Jul 12 20:28:39 Had a dream that Molly saw them for the first time... the sound of that gasp still haunts me... Jul 12 20:30:37 was she horrified? Jul 12 20:31:38 She said not... Jul 12 20:31:59 but she made you cover up? Jul 12 20:33:00 No... quite the opposite at that point Jul 12 20:34:19 * Inga smiles Jul 12 20:34:30 She can’t have thought they were too bad then Jul 12 20:39:31 * Morgan shrugs Jul 12 20:39:34 I suppose not Jul 12 20:40:47 was that last night? She said she was waiting to hear one Jul 12 20:41:04 * Morgan nods Jul 12 20:41:05 Aye Jul 12 20:42:48 Is that why you had to go off just now? Jul 12 20:43:11 No... -that- was because it had been seven hours... Jul 12 20:44:13 * Inga nods Jul 12 20:44:39 I suppose five times a day doesn’t work with a seven hour gap Jul 12 20:45:00 No.... It was quite the challenge Jul 12 20:46:50 you seemed really composed until you came in the hall Jul 12 20:49:06 Helping her into the carriage, that pregnant smell hit me... Jul 12 20:51:10 But mine doesn’t smell as good as that? Jul 12 20:52:01 * Morgan glances round before leaning closer and inhaling quietly Jul 12 20:52:36 * Inga giggles. She does smell pregnant, and although it’s a nice smell it doesn’t stir him at all Jul 12 20:57:42 You smell lovely but... it doesn't do anything for me... Jul 12 20:57:53 * Inga nods Jul 12 20:58:11 it’d be bad if if did! Jul 12 20:58:22 Less than ideal, yes Jul 12 21:00:01 how are you going to manage on the trip tomorrow? that’s more than eight hours Jul 12 21:00:22 I've absolutely no bloody idea Jul 12 21:01:37 * Inga smiles Jul 12 21:01:41 Are you worried? Jul 12 21:02:41 Not worried exactly... Jul 12 21:03:55 what are you? Jul 12 21:04:12 Lets say apprehensive... I'm aware of how difficult it may be Jul 12 21:05:02 will you get grumpy? Heinzharold has gotten a bit grumpy before Jul 12 21:05:24 * Morgan nods Jul 12 21:05:28 Its frustrating Jul 12 21:07:40 I’ll help if I can Jul 12 21:08:48 Thank you love... not sure how we'll manage but... we'll just have to see what happens Jul 12 21:10:54 * Inga smiles, nodding Jul 12 21:11:05 We won’t be staying long after dinner Jul 12 21:11:16 No, I didn't imagine you would be... Jul 12 21:15:45 we’ll be here bright and early and unbitten in the morning *she blushes but grins* Jul 12 21:17:23 * Morgan chuckles Jul 12 21:17:30 Hopefully we'll be ready... Jul 12 21:18:50 You’ll be collecting something you’d forgotten at the last minute? Jul 12 21:19:27 Quite possibly Jul 12 21:21:39 * Inga nods Jul 12 21:21:57 Will you be glad to be back in Die Dauerhaftigkeit? Jul 12 21:22:31 I think so... last time I was there things were... tense Jul 12 21:24:08 * Inga nods Jul 12 21:24:34 Molly was worried about you. She asked if I thought she should ride down to you Jul 12 21:25:09 I don't think it would've gone well Jul 12 21:25:33 I said then you’d be upset -and- mad Jul 12 21:25:52 Whyso? Jul 12 21:28:29 Because she’d ridden nearly forty miles in the dark alone Jul 12 21:29:40 * Morgan nods Jul 12 21:29:45 Yeah,I'd have gone berserk Jul 12 21:30:58 * Inga nods Jul 12 21:31:59 I didn’t think you’d be pleased to see her that way Jul 12 21:32:10 No... I wouldn't have been Jul 12 21:34:08 luckily she didn’t Jul 12 21:38:27 * Morgan nods Jul 12 21:47:43 *the card game gets loud, so they end up watching that. Molly, Edward, Mina, and Alice rejoin them, but they’re not there that long before Karlsruhe and DeeDee bring Varick and Jacques in for dinner Jul 12 21:51:09 * Morgan looks at Varick Jul 12 21:51:13 Have you been having fun? Jul 12 21:53:03 *Varick nods* I was telling them how to build a tree house Jul 12 21:53:23 Oh? Jul 12 21:55:41 V: we won’t be here to build one, but Jacques can Jul 12 21:56:57 * Morgan nods Jul 12 21:56:59 I suppose he can Jul 12 21:58:49 *Molly kisses Varick’s crown* When Jacques lives at Hafenlohr, perhaps you could build one together Jul 12 22:00:53 *Varick nods enthusiastically, chatting to all and sundry about it* Jul 12 22:01:00 * Inga is now known as Molly Jul 12 22:01:15 * Molly smiles “Emil was as Jul 12 22:01:31 asleep very quickly after nursing Jul 12 22:02:01 * Morgan nods Jul 12 22:02:10 He did seem to be settling quickly on me Jul 12 22:04:23 * Molly smiles, nodding Jul 12 22:04:34 [it is easily done] Jul 12 22:04:44 [is it?] Jul 12 22:06:10 [it’s relaxing to be in your arms] Jul 12 22:06:36 * Morgan nods a little Jul 12 22:06:40 [good] Jul 12 22:08:58 *Elsie looks to be trying to catch Molly’s eye, but she’s busy smiling at Morgan* Jul 12 22:09:54 [I think Elsie wants you] Jul 12 22:11:52 * Molly glances that way, and goes over to her. Everyone is just socialising waiting for the maids to collect them for dinner Jul 12 22:12:16 * Morgan sits quietly, drinking his blokners Jul 12 22:15:59 *Thomas is in the basket nearby and had been asleep but is now stirring Jul 12 22:16:46 * Morgan moves to it, putting a hang gently on the boys tummy, murmuring 'ssshhh' Jul 12 22:18:53 *he still looks mostly asleep, and this settles him. He feels someone move beside him Jul 12 22:19:06 * Morgan glances toward them Jul 12 22:19:26 * Molly is now known as Edward Jul 12 22:19:38 * Edward smiles, sipping his whiskey Jul 12 22:19:53 you are looking a little broody, brother Jul 12 22:20:14 Am I? Jul 12 22:23:17 * Edward looks at the child “I remember Varick at this age” Jul 12 22:23:48 * Morgan nods a little Jul 12 22:23:56 Did he make you broody? Jul 12 22:25:34 * Edward shakes his head, smiling Jul 12 22:26:28 I was just turned sixteen then, I was far more interested in the part that happens two steps before the child Jul 12 22:26:39 * Morgan nods Jul 12 22:27:00 I think he's making wonderful progress... Jul 12 22:27:10 * Edward nods Jul 12 22:27:38 He is. I notice he no longer mentions Karsten or Alarice Jul 12 22:28:02 Very rarely now... though the former did cause some upset... he cant remember him so much Jul 12 22:29:06 * Edward nods Jul 12 22:29:19 That’s to be expected at his age Jul 12 22:29:30 * Morgan nods Jul 12 22:29:38 I suppose so... how did bedtime for Florrie go? Jul 12 22:30:13 * Edward smiles Jul 12 22:30:21 She was asleep when I left her Jul 12 22:30:41 And how did it go for Mina? Jul 12 22:31:52 She was less involved than I’d hoped, but I am glad she participated Jul 12 22:33:00 Its a combination of struggling with the situation and not being sure what to do, how to act... Jul 12 22:35:12 Indeed Jul 12 22:36:17 How are you planning to handle things in Sudlachenburg? Jul 12 22:37:14 which things? Jul 12 22:38:29 The people there, they saw Jana growing... its going to be quite jarring for them to see Florrie... I wondered if perhaps you'd be speaking with them about it... Jul 12 22:39:21 * Edward sips his whiskey Jul 12 22:39:27 I would have to ask Father Jul 12 22:41:27 * Morgan nods Jul 12 22:41:30 Probably wise Jul 12 22:41:54 * Edward nods Jul 12 22:42:11 I do not have a relationship with the people as he, or you, do. Jul 12 22:42:52 * Morgan nods Jul 12 22:43:09 I think they should have some sort of explanation... Jul 12 22:43:50 Yes, I do not dispute that Jul 12 22:45:09 * Morgan nods, sipping his blokners Jul 12 22:45:51 But I think Father might be better placed to do that Jul 12 22:48:53 * Morgan nods Jul 12 22:48:56 possibly Jul 12 22:49:37 I imagine he will suggest a tenants meeting, we have had many new additions Jul 12 22:49:46 * Morgan nods Jul 12 22:49:53 I believe that is the plan... Jul 12 22:51:17 * Edward nods, smiling Jul 12 22:51:40 I would like the chance to show off my wife Jul 12 22:52:04 * Morgan nods Jul 12 22:52:09 I'm not surprised Jul 12 22:54:14 * Edward glances at her “Her becoming Lady Koertig is something we should announce” Jul 12 22:54:32 * Morgan nods Jul 12 22:54:39 Yes, I completely agree Jul 12 22:56:56 You will be making your own announcements there? Jul 12 22:57:36 * Morgan nods Jul 12 22:57:40 We will... both of them Jul 12 22:58:47 * Edward nods Jul 12 22:59:20 Our family has grown massively since I was last there in December Jul 12 22:59:34 * Morgan nods Jul 12 22:59:39 Yes, it has Jul 12 23:01:41 *They get called for dinner, everyone moving through except Molly and Elsie Jul 12 23:01:56 [is everything alright?] Jul 12 23:03:47 [yes, we’ll just be a moment] Jul 12 23:05:23 * Morgan nods slightly, going through to the dining room Jul 12 23:06:21 *They are waiting for him. James looks a little concerned* Jul 12 23:06:33 You alright James? Jul 12 23:09:01 James: Is Elsie coming to dinner? Jul 12 23:09:09 * Morgan nods Jul 12 23:09:13 They'll be in shortly Jul 12 23:10:30 *he nods, but he still looks concerned until he sees her entering, then smiles* Jul 12 23:10:50 HH: $reckon we moon after our wives that bad?$ Jul 12 23:10:59 $No... I hope$ Jul 12 23:13:32 C: $you both do$ Jul 12 23:13:41 * Edward is now known as Molly Jul 12 23:14:17 * Molly comes to sit at her place beside him, smiling warmly Jul 12 23:14:52 [what ws that about?] Jul 12 23:15:00 $Yeah we probably do$ Jul 12 23:15:36 [just the details of how the magic I’d done worked] Jul 12 23:15:54 HH: $as if she isn’t that bad about Uinise$ Jul 12 23:16:14 $oh worse$ Jul 12 23:16:20 [it went as hoped?] Jul 12 23:18:19 C: $No I am not!$ Jul 12 23:19:05 $oh and deluded too$ Jul 12 23:19:29 [Absolutely. Barely any blood or discomfort, but just enough to make it symbolic. After that, everything went swimmingly. They both cried] Jul 12 23:19:49 C: $fuck off, I’m not as bad as you two$ Jul 12 23:20:20 [thats fantastic] Jul 12 23:24:37 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
