**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Apr 18 08:53:32 2025 Apr 18 08:53:32 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Apr 18 12:18:14 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Apr 18 13:41:10 * Morgan (~mads@192.168.1.117) has joined Apr 18 20:28:31 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.127) has joined Apr 18 20:28:50 *Adalbrecht frowns* You are late. What delayed you? Apr 18 20:28:50 *Claudia looks at Uinise, briefly touching her finger to her nose subtly* Apr 18 20:28:50 *Edward gets Mina seated* Our apologies, my Lord, my clock needed winding and we were misinformed as to the time it was Apr 18 20:28:50 Ad: See that it doesn’t happen again Apr 18 20:28:50 *Edward inclines his head, then sits. He is careful not to make eye contact with his brother, but Morgan sees Mina glance at Molly* Apr 18 20:28:53 * Morgan sips his drink, eating a little Apr 18 20:28:55 *the conversation is kept easy, predominately about the letter Edward is expecting for Zench on the morrow, and then the wedding arrangements. The subject of Sascha’s birth is avoiding at the dinner table aside from to make the arrangements about servants to wake Molly if Lucas comes from Otto during the night, and how Emil will spend the time with Inga at Ma’s Apr 18 20:29:02 * Morgan stays fairly quiet throughout Apr 18 20:29:04 *the men and women go their separate ways shortly after. Despite knowing she’s wearing negligee, he hears no teasing from her, no little flashes in his mind of it. It’s almost as if it never happened* Apr 18 20:29:07 * Molly is now known as Edward Apr 18 20:29:09 * Edward asks a footman for brandy, waiting to see what Morgan will have after Adalbrecht and Christopher match Edward’s drink Apr 18 20:29:12 * Morgan asks for port Apr 18 20:29:14 *he gets given a large glass* Apr 18 20:30:18 * Molly is now known as Edward Apr 18 20:30:32 * Edward waits til they’re all settled before he says Apr 18 20:30:45 Mina and I will be leaving on Monday Apr 18 20:31:01 * Morgan nods Apr 18 20:31:18 You have reached an agreement then Apr 18 20:31:31 We have. Apr 18 20:31:45 * Morgan nods Apr 18 20:31:46 good Apr 18 20:32:15 Will you all be leaving for Innesbruck also on Monday? Apr 18 20:32:23 Depends on the twins I think Apr 18 20:33:16 *Adalbrecht nods* We should be certain that everyone is ready and recovered from that before travelling Apr 18 20:33:56 I agree Apr 18 20:34:37 * Edward nods Apr 18 20:35:07 Father, will you be escorting Uncle Christopher, Alice, and Florrie to Freiburg? Apr 18 20:35:40 *Adalbrecht nods, taking out a cigar from his tin* That is my intention. Apr 18 20:36:23 * Morgan nods a little Apr 18 20:36:26 Its a good idea Apr 18 20:38:10 Ad: I will be able to help you with your training to be a Graf then also. I’ll stay a few days extra. Apr 18 20:38:28 * Edward smiles faintly, sipping his drink Apr 18 20:38:59 * Morgan nods Apr 18 20:39:04 There are a few things I need to take care of Apr 18 20:41:02 Ad: When you are busy, I will spend time with Molly Apr 18 20:41:27 I'm sure she'll appreciate that Apr 18 20:43:42 * Edward glances at Morgan a moment, smirking slightly Apr 18 20:45:17 * Morgan sips his port Apr 18 20:45:31 Christopher: I do not imagine I’ll see you all again until the Baptism at the end of autumn Apr 18 20:46:18 * Morgan nods Apr 18 20:46:25 I imagine that'll be the case, unfortunately Apr 18 20:47:14 Christopher nods: I will hope for letters Apr 18 20:47:57 * Morgan nods, glancing at his father Apr 18 20:50:01 *Adalbrecht nods* We will keep in touch, Christopher Apr 18 20:50:37 C: I look forward to discovering whether Molly has a boy or a girl, and what they will be named Apr 18 20:50:53 *Edward quietly murmurs “Brumhilde.” Apr 18 20:51:14 * Morgan smiles a little Apr 18 20:51:22 Discussions on that subject have been had Apr 18 20:52:03 Ad: You recall it is unlucky to share the child’s name before they are born? Apr 18 20:53:43 Of course Apr 18 20:54:07 Christopher: A decision has not yet been made? Apr 18 20:55:14 We're fairly settled on a name Apr 18 20:56:30 *They all smile* Apr 18 20:56:46 Mimi and I have had ours set in stone for some time now Apr 18 20:58:52 * Morgan nods Apr 18 20:59:00 I recall you saying so Apr 18 21:02:08 Ad: I expected Zenchlerin and Heidi will soon be in anticipation of a happy event before long Apr 18 21:03:43 * Edward grimaces “When taking into account Heidi’s personality, the extra mood swings of pregnancy will make his life difficult” Apr 18 21:05:59 She will need more patience than normal, certainly Apr 18 21:06:50 * Edward nods “I am expecting to hear from him in the next few days, and how he is faring with the wedding less than a month away” Apr 18 21:07:28 Ad: I imagine he will be counting down the days *There’s no innuendo in Adalbrecht’s tone* Apr 18 21:10:01 * Edward smiles faintly “As we all were, weren’t we, Morgan?” Apr 18 21:10:17 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:10:21 I'd say so, yes Apr 18 21:11:10 Are there any weird traditions he will be adhering to? Apr 18 21:12:01 Last I heard, discussing about the consummation being witnessed are ongoing Apr 18 21:13:00 Think I prefer the sheet Apr 18 21:14:57 Or the dress cutting, witnessed by only a very trusted person Apr 18 21:15:44 I was, however, thinking of anything like sleeping outside in the rain the night before... Apr 18 21:15:46 Christopher nods: I recall that sheet business when your parents wed. I nearly planted Adalbrecht a facer when I saw it. Apr 18 21:15:59 * Morgan laughs Apr 18 21:16:07 *Adalbrecht blushes, lighting his cigar* Apr 18 21:16:15 * Edward laughs Apr 18 21:17:00 Christopher: In my defence, I did not know what the tradition was, or why there was any blood anywhere. Apr 18 21:17:11 * Morgan looks at his father Apr 18 21:17:15 You didn't explain? Apr 18 21:18:11 Ad: How does one broach such a sensitive subject with the brother of the bride? Also, I somewhat assumed that he already knew. Apr 18 21:19:36 *Christopher smiles* I did not. I was taken aside by your Uncle Hans, who gently explained it. I still considered thumping him though. Apr 18 21:20:02 * Edward chuckles, watching Adalbrecht who is very focused on his cigar Apr 18 21:20:17 I wouldn't advise it, he's quite handy when it comes to fisticuffs Apr 18 21:21:19 * Edward nods “Shockingly so. There is no sleeping out, just the usual night of drinking and brothel visiting the night before...” Apr 18 21:21:48 *Adalbrecht looks up from his cigar, looking affronted* Over my dead body. Apr 18 21:22:55 I am afraid, Father, that is a tradition. Apr 18 21:23:18 Ad: Well -my- sons will not be there. Apr 18 21:23:42 * Edward glances at Morgan, watching his reaction Apr 18 21:24:15 You would keep your son from attending his friend the night before his wedding in a -tradition-? After all they've been through? Apr 18 21:24:52 *Adalbracht looks to Morgan* In a brothel. He is a married man. Married men have no place in a brothel. Apr 18 21:25:20 Christopher: From what I have heard, married men are the primary patrons of them... Apr 18 21:25:53 * Edward sips his whiskey, try8ng to keep a straight face Apr 18 21:28:02 * Morgan glances at Christopher, smiling slightly Apr 18 21:28:07 Not exactly helping there uncle... Apr 18 21:28:37 Christopher smiles: My dear boy, I am the voice of truth, not persuasion Apr 18 21:29:02 Ad: I am sure Molly and Mina will stop you both Apr 18 21:29:18 *Edward smiles vaguely a moment* Apr 18 21:32:16 We'll see Apr 18 21:33:37 Christopher: I imagine you will need your rest if you might get woken for the deliveries overnight? Apr 18 21:34:49 * Morgan nods, sighing a little Apr 18 21:34:50 Aye Apr 18 21:35:51 * Edward nods Apr 18 21:36:05 I think we should join the ladies then Apr 18 21:36:16 * Morgan nods, sipping his port Apr 18 21:37:08 *they all move through, but discover that Verity has already gone up to bed, and Claudia and Uinise look like they imminently will be* Apr 18 21:38:07 * Morgan looks at Molly Apr 18 21:38:30 We should probably follow suit, I want you well rested in case the twins decide tonight is the night to make an appearance Apr 18 21:40:14 *Molly nods, smiling. She says her goodnights, and Claudia and Uinise walk to the Veisgraf Wing with them. They’re finally alone after saying those goodnights too, in their room that overlooks the glowing lake. She kicks off her shoes* Apr 18 21:40:18 * Edward is now known as Molly Apr 18 21:40:27 how was your evening, my love? Apr 18 21:40:49 Not bad I suppose... yours? Apr 18 21:41:35 * Molly nods Apr 18 21:42:04 It was fine... Edward has given in to Mina’s demands to go on to Fischler next week Apr 18 21:44:23 So I gather Apr 18 21:44:38 * Molly starts undoing her dress Apr 18 21:44:44 I think that’s for the best Apr 18 21:45:08 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:45:11 I'm inclined to agree Apr 18 21:45:54 it’ll be difficult, but life must go on Apr 18 21:46:02 * Morgan nods sadly Apr 18 21:46:52 I’ll hang my dress, I won’t be a moment Apr 18 21:47:46 Alright love Apr 18 21:49:07 * Molly goes into the dressing room. When she’s back, she’s in a dressing gown rather than the lingerie, and taking her hair down Apr 18 21:49:30 * Morgan frowns Apr 18 21:49:33 Whats going on? Apr 18 21:49:56 Nothing is going on, my love. I’ve had Maggie pack Emil a bag incase we need to leave early Apr 18 21:50:31 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:50:33 That makes sense Apr 18 21:51:20 You will be going to the tavern with Otto, rather than to my parents’? Apr 18 21:51:51 I imagine so... we'll see how Otto wants to play it Apr 18 21:51:57 * Molly nods Apr 18 21:52:33 He will find it difficult, no doubt *she takes out more pins, sitting at the dressing table* Apr 18 21:53:10 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:53:14 I would imagine so, yes Apr 18 21:54:31 * Molly nods, starting to brush out her hair with the Vesten brush Apr 18 21:55:03 Mama will be there at Sascha’s. She is very experienced after so many births Apr 18 21:55:06 * Morgan sighs, sitting down and unlacing his boots Apr 18 21:55:13 Thats probably wise Apr 18 21:55:45 Will you wish to listen to your son in a minute? Apr 18 21:56:39 * Morgan nods Apr 18 21:56:39 Please Apr 18 21:58:46 * Molly nods, getting ready for bed before she lies down, spreading the satin to reveal her growing bump Apr 18 21:58:59 He’s active tonight Apr 18 21:59:05 * Morgan gets undressed, laying beside her Apr 18 21:59:07 Is he? Apr 18 21:59:23 mmhmmm, he has been for an hour or so now Apr 18 21:59:33 I wonder why Apr 18 21:59:56 it’s getting longer at a time, we just are not always together lately Apr 18 22:00:29 * Morgan nods, gently laying his head to her tummy Apr 18 22:00:33 We've been very busy Apr 18 22:01:40 *he can hear the heartbeat right away Apr 18 22:02:00 There’s a lot going on, again... a lot of distraction and strain Apr 18 22:02:12 * Morgan nods Apr 18 22:02:18 Its getting tiresome Apr 18 22:02:46 I’m almost resigned to it, I think Apr 18 22:03:52 Oh? Apr 18 22:06:12 When will it change, really? We’ve got the births, then we’ll be saying goodbyes, travelling, saying more goodbyes. We’ll have work to do at home, then we’ll soon be off to the wedding... Apr 18 22:07:35 * Morgan nods, frowning Apr 18 22:08:11 * Molly lays still, though he can hear his son change positions a little Apr 18 22:08:47 It is the life we have. We are busy people with much responsibility and complicated situations Apr 18 22:09:01 * Morgan nods Apr 18 22:09:06 Unfortunately so Apr 18 22:09:45 We’ll muddle along Apr 18 22:10:28 * Morgan nods Apr 18 22:10:30 Aye, we will Apr 18 22:14:41 *the little heart beat continues. He’s heard hers slow as she starts to fall asleep before he hears the little sound he’d first heard nearly six years ago now; a hiccuping baby in the womb of his wife Apr 18 22:15:33 * Morgan chuckles Apr 18 22:16:13 *it doesn’t wake her* Apr 18 22:16:28 * Morgan closes his eyes, just listening Apr 18 22:17:03 *the hiccuping continues another two minutes, then gradually stops* Apr 18 22:18:04 * Morgan listens for a few more minutes before moving to lay his head on the pillow Apr 18 22:20:00 * Molly shifts to accommodate him sleepily, curled up in front of him, the scent of the roots of her hair coming up from where her crown is beneath his chin Apr 18 22:20:45 * Morgan tries to settle to sleep Apr 18 22:23:56 *he falls asleep quite quickly, and starts to dream. It is last summer. They’ve not been in Sudlachenburg that long, waiting for the wedding day to arrive. Their Fathers have been a nuisance, throwing their weight around, David being prickly about his past marriage and Molly being his second wife. God knows why he’s got such a bee in his bonnet about that. MTF Apr 18 22:26:04 *This morning, David has finally told mOrgan he will be taking the job of Estates Manager and settling in Sudlachenburg, which is good news. It’s also good news that they’re due to see the Priest shortly to talk about the wedding ceremony, which will give him time with Molly without Adalbrecht trying to keep him busy. With an hour to go, he’s in the stables brushing Xantha Apr 18 22:27:20 *Xantha sniffs the air suddenly, knocking the brush from Morgan’s hand* Apr 18 22:27:29 * Morgan looks around Apr 18 22:28:24 *There’s nothing alarming in the stable, though he starts to feel a deep sense of foreboding. The light coming in through the door starts to dim* Apr 18 22:28:49 * Morgan moves a little, making himself less obvious Apr 18 22:30:24 *Xantha makes a low growling noise, one he used to make on battlefields to intimidate attackers or enemy horses* Apr 18 22:30:55 * Morgan shushes him quietly Apr 18 22:32:05 *Xantha quietens, which means Morgan can hear the sound of hooves and cartwheels Apr 18 22:32:55 * Morgan moves so he can look out Apr 18 22:33:41 *he sees Otto coming up the drive, hunched and wrapped in a blanket. He is looking around frantically for any sign of staff Apr 18 22:33:51 * Morgan goes out Apr 18 22:34:06 Otto? Apr 18 22:34:07 * Molly is now known as Otto Apr 18 22:34:25 My Lord! Oh, my Lord! Help! Apr 18 22:34:37 What ever is wrong? Apr 18 22:34:57 It’s your betrothed! She’s hurt! Apr 18 22:35:14 What? How?! Apr 18 22:35:56 * Otto pulls the horse up, and tries to get down from the horse Apr 18 22:36:09 She got hurt in town Apr 18 22:36:57 Where is she? Apr 18 22:37:26 * Otto looks deeply distressed, his breathing wheezy “I took her to Doctor Poldi but he’s not there! I didn’t know where else to bring her...” Apr 18 22:37:52 * Morgan moves to look in the cart Apr 18 22:39:06 *She’s laid on hay, a blanket as a pillow, another covering her body. But the beating she’s received has clearly been savage just from the wounds to her face* Apr 18 22:40:21 She was still breathing when I set off from there... Apr 18 22:40:32 * Morgan climbs up into the cart, putting his ear near her mouth Apr 18 22:40:52 *Her breathing is faint and irregular Apr 18 22:41:21 Oh Molly, love, whats happened to you? Apr 18 22:41:35 * Morgan checks for anything that could be made worse by his lifting her to carry her Apr 18 22:43:53 *There’s just so many injuries beneath the blanket, her left arm looks broken, as does her fingers on her right hand. There’s blood down the front of her skirt, though where it’s come from is impossible to tell. Her legs are bruised and scraped, one ankle twisted awkwardly Apr 18 22:44:12 Alright love, lets get you inside Apr 18 22:45:18 *she’s still unresponsive when he tries to move her, her body a broken, deadweight in his arms Apr 18 22:45:53 * Morgan carefully climbs down Apr 18 22:45:56 Who did this Otto? Apr 18 22:46:17 * Otto doesn’t seem to know what to do “I... I...” Apr 18 22:46:43 * Morgan starts moving toward the house Apr 18 22:46:44 Otto... Apr 18 22:46:51 My Lord... Apr 18 22:46:57 Tell me Apr 18 22:47:28 * Otto tells what is very obviously a lie. “Me. I did it.” Apr 18 22:48:08 * Morgan glances down at Otto's hands Apr 18 22:48:28 No, you didn't... but you're lying... so you're protecting someone... Apr 18 22:48:42 *his hands are dirty, slightly bloody, but not enough to have done this* Apr 18 22:48:53 I’ll testify it was me, my Lord Apr 18 22:49:40 You'd best go home, I'm in no mood to be lied to, and I daresay tonight is the last night you'll have with your wife Apr 18 22:50:15 * Otto turns and leads his horse and cart away as fast as he can Apr 18 22:50:29 * Morgan rushes into the house Apr 18 22:51:24 *he sees Reinhardt the Butler conferring with a young man who often runs messages between the local noble households* Apr 18 22:51:34 * Morgan calls to him Apr 18 22:51:49 * Otto is now known as Reinhardt Apr 18 22:51:57 * Reinhardt looks shocked Apr 18 22:53:03 Jannus, go to town and find Doctor Poldi and Katinka immediately. Apr 18 22:53:22 Poldi wasn't in. Apr 18 22:53:44 *the young man sprints out of the house* I’ll get him found, m’lord! Apr 18 22:54:37 Get her to her room, I’ll find the Graf Apr 18 22:54:47 * Morgan nods, carrying her that way Apr 18 22:56:37 *other servants see them, coming to help with doors, going to get hot water, some going for brandy, or bandages. The atmosphere in the corridors he goes through soon feel extremely tense and panicked. A maid opens her bedroom door where the smell of rosewater greets him, the light warm Apr 18 22:56:49 Maid: Now what, my Lord? Apr 18 22:57:02 Is anyone on the staff any sort of medic? Apr 18 22:57:13 Maid: A few, aye Apr 18 22:57:29 Fetch one, lets see what we can do until the doctor arrives Apr 18 22:59:19 *She also goes, leaving Morgan alone with her in the room that only a couple of weeks ago he brought her to to show her where she’d be staying, and she’d been awed. She’d tried to get him to stay with this kisses they’d been unable to share whilst travelling with her parents, but he’d had to discourage her so he could go to speak to his parents Apr 18 23:00:08 * Morgan lays her gently down Apr 18 23:00:14 You hang on blossom... Apr 18 23:02:07 *She still doesn’t respond, her eyes closed, everything limp, her lip split, bruising around her eye, and a definite head wound within her hair, though the blood is visible more by how it sets her hair than the colour as it would be on someone fairer Apr 18 23:02:22 wets* her hair Apr 18 23:02:33 Oh love, I'm so sorry Apr 18 23:03:21 *he can only just see her chest slightly rise and fall. If anything, it’s worse not better* Apr 18 23:04:12 * Morgan kneels by the bed, gently stroking her hand Apr 18 23:06:03 *he realises a moment too late that he’s stroking her broken hand as his fingers register the unnatural angle of hers, the too-many-bones sensation of them, like little bags of small rocks tumbled about* Apr 18 23:06:34 * Morgan swears, stopping Apr 18 23:08:30 *Her other hand looks okay, but the arm it’s attached to has a bend where no arm should bend, the bones pressing against the skin from inside. Even if she survives this, she’s never going to play piano again, or confidently hold a horse’s rain’s, or lift Varick from the ground Apr 18 23:08:38 reins* Apr 18 23:09:00 * Morgan grinds his teeth, just kneeling quietly, waiting Apr 18 23:10:41 *Adalbrecht and Reinhardt appear first. The horror he saw in his Sire’s face when telling him about his first bride is nothing compared to the horror it holds at seeing his second daughter-in-law so badly abused and unconscious Apr 18 23:11:12 Ad: Is she...? Apr 18 23:11:28 No. But I don't know how much longer she can hang on without help Apr 18 23:11:59 *Adalbrecht nods grimly* we have summoned all the help we can Apr 18 23:12:26 * Morgan nods a little Apr 18 23:13:32 *A man appears, the one usually in charge of cleaning and butchering the carcasses when they’ve been hunting* My Lord, you asked for a medic? Apr 18 23:13:51 * Morgan nods, looking to Molly Apr 18 23:13:52 Help her Apr 18 23:15:09 *The man comes over, looking at her before placing his ear to her mouth and watching her chest. The little frown is not a good omen.* I’ll do what I can... Apr 18 23:15:38 * Morgan nods, grinding his teeth Apr 18 23:15:52 * Reinhardt is now known as Man Apr 18 23:16:23 Need to see what the wounds are, and where all that blood’s from. Has she been stabbed? Apr 18 23:16:32 I don't know Apr 18 23:16:41 I think she has a wound on her head Apr 18 23:17:07 * Man looks to Adalbrecht “We should wait outside, my Lord...” Adalbrecht nods “who did this, Morgan?” Apr 18 23:17:45 That remains to be seen Apr 18 23:18:19 *Reinhardt and Adalbrecht go, shutting the door* Apr 18 23:18:30 We need to undress her, my Lord Apr 18 23:18:42 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:18:46 Alright. Gently. Apr 18 23:18:58 * Man looks unsure Apr 18 23:19:23 Begging pardon, my Lord, but I’m not sure we’ve got the time... Apr 18 23:19:39 * Morgan nods miserably Apr 18 23:19:41 Alright Apr 18 23:19:53 Can we cut the clothes off, do you think? Apr 18 23:20:49 * Morgan nods, taking a knife from his belt Apr 18 23:20:52 We'll have to Apr 18 23:21:35 *The knife looks so shiny, and the Koertig crest sparkles away at him in the sunlight* Apr 18 23:21:44 Your hands steady enough, Lord? Apr 18 23:22:03 * Morgan nods Apr 18 23:22:06 I'll manage Apr 18 23:22:15 * Man nods, waiting Apr 18 23:22:47 * Morgan sets about carefully cutting her dress Apr 18 23:23:38 *It slices easily, but then there’s stays, and a shift, so he has to work hard to get through the layers Apr 18 23:25:33 * Man nods, opening the fabric but trying to keep most of her breasts covered. There’s no obvious stab wounds, but there’s something much worse. her abdomen is swollen, darkly bruised Apr 18 23:26:18 * Man mutters “ah fuck.” Apr 18 23:26:25 What the hells that? Apr 18 23:26:57 Bleeding internally. Something’s ruptured... Apr 18 23:27:18 There's nothing you can do? Apr 18 23:27:33 * Man shakes his head Apr 18 23:28:04 Sorry, my Lord... At best we might be able to rouse her, but it wouldn’t be for long... Apr 18 23:28:30 Not even the doctor could?
