**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Oct 25 10:04:47 2025 Oct 25 10:04:47 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Oct 25 10:04:57 How about you? You’re normally the one who can’t behave when outdoors Oct 25 10:04:58 We managed to behave Oct 25 10:04:58 well done... or disappointed? Oct 25 10:04:58 It was necessary Oct 25 10:04:58 * Claudia nods Oct 25 10:05:00 Are you training, or do you have stuff to get done? Oct 25 10:05:02 I can train Oct 25 10:05:04 * Claudia nods, and this is what they do. It gets quieter outside when Hildegarde calls the children in to eat Oct 25 10:05:08 * Claudia h Oct 25 10:05:42 * Molly is now known as Claudia Oct 25 10:06:04 * Claudia puts up her sword again Oct 25 10:06:35 What do you need me doing here? Oct 25 10:07:08 * Morgan shrugs Oct 25 10:07:13 Nothing, realistically Oct 25 10:07:57 Fantastic (!) Oct 25 10:08:32 * Morgan shrugs Oct 25 10:08:33 Its peaceful Oct 25 10:09:46 I might see who wants to go to the tavern Oct 25 10:11:34 * Morgan nods Oct 25 10:11:35 Aye alright Oct 25 10:11:42 You coming? Oct 25 10:12:17 We'll have to see Oct 25 10:12:25 * Claudia nods Oct 25 10:13:00 going to be leaving early tomorrow, or is it going to be a rough one? Oct 25 10:14:40 * Morgan smiles a little Oct 25 10:14:44 I've no doubt it'll be awful Oct 25 10:15:53 * Claudia laughs “most don’t smile at that” Oct 25 10:16:32 [I have just walked in on something rude...] Oct 25 10:17:28 [oh?] Oct 25 10:17:45 What other choice is there? Not like I can change it Oct 25 10:19:39 Good point *Molly sends him the image, Heinrich kissing Hildegarde’s neck with a hand on her behind* Oct 25 10:20:52 * Morgan nods Oct 25 10:20:54 I thought so Oct 25 10:20:56 [ah] Oct 25 10:21:31 [it could have been worse, but I’m not sure which of us was blushing most!] Oct 25 10:22:10 [teach em to be more careful I suppose] Oct 25 10:22:14 Train early so you’re more relaxed? Oct 25 10:23:00 [They’re used to having peace and quiet... and given that we know he can be a bit selfish in bed, I don’t really want to discourage anything too much!] Oct 25 10:23:03 * Morgan nods Oct 25 10:23:08 Not a bad idea Oct 25 10:28:15 * Claudia has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Oct 25 10:30:05 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Oct 25 10:30:12 Not a bad idea Oct 25 10:30:34 * Molly nods Oct 25 10:30:39 * Molly is now known as Claudia Oct 25 10:30:56 Tomorrow night you’ll have the lake Oct 25 10:31:45 * Morgan nods Oct 25 10:31:53 I am rather looking forward to it Oct 25 10:33:04 * Claudia nods Oct 25 10:33:47 Uinise wants me to to take her to the University Library in Kiev Oct 25 10:34:07 Oh? Oct 25 10:34:23 Sounds boring to me, but she’s enthusiastic Oct 25 10:34:50 If thats what she wants... Oct 25 10:35:37 * Claudia nods Oct 25 10:35:44 I could do with a note... Oct 25 10:36:03 Oh? Oct 25 10:36:15 Ducal request, and all that nonsense Oct 25 10:37:08 Reckon thats needed? Oct 25 10:39:05 Better to have it than have to ride two hours back because we didn’t Oct 25 10:39:32 * Morgan nods Oct 25 10:39:41 I'll do it but see if you can get in without it... Oct 25 10:40:27 * Claudia nods Oct 25 10:40:33 Okay Oct 25 10:43:43 *they go back to training a while, and then he hears [My love, I am about to put Emil to bed, though the older boys are going to stay up a while...] Oct 25 10:43:49 * Morgan nods, looking around Oct 25 10:44:36 *everyone seems to be busy elsewhere* Oct 25 10:46:37 Apparently the working girls here think I'm kind and funny Oct 25 10:47:02 * Claudia chuckles Oct 25 10:47:16 You were pretty entertaining when we played that game with them Oct 25 10:49:42 * Morgan shrugs Oct 25 10:49:45 I suppose so Oct 25 10:50:29 * Claudia smiles “I still can’t believe what you told them...” Oct 25 10:50:43 * Morgan shrugs Oct 25 10:51:17 It was the rules... I cant expect their respect and acquiescence to my request if I don't at least play fair Oct 25 10:51:58 Yeah, but that was really personal Oct 25 10:52:17 * Morgan nods Oct 25 10:52:18 I know Oct 25 10:53:34 They seemed nice enough. I’d even possibly go for a drink there, but I wouldn’t want Uinise going Oct 25 10:54:31 No? Oct 25 10:55:48 She doesn’t need to see all that fondling that goes on downstairs Oct 25 10:56:43 Interesting... Oct 25 10:57:37 what? Oct 25 10:57:53 Just trying to understand why... Oct 25 10:57:59 why what? Oct 25 10:58:09 Why you think she doesn't need to see that... Oct 25 10:58:18 * Claudia suddenly laughs Oct 25 10:58:51 Hang on, am I having to explain to -you- why someone doesn’t need to be in a -brothel-?! Oct 25 10:59:09 No, I'm just trying to work out if its possessiveness... Oct 25 10:59:18 * Claudia shrugs Oct 25 10:59:58 Slightly, maybe. Mostly just that I like that innocence, and that nothing feels cheap with her Oct 25 11:01:19 * Morgan nods Oct 25 11:01:19 Alright Oct 25 11:02:58 you didn’t get that with Molly in Jura? Oct 25 11:04:22 Not really, no... was a bit occupied... Oct 25 11:04:59 * Claudia nods Oct 25 11:05:05 wedding anniversary, wasn’t it? Oct 25 11:05:35 * Morgan nods Oct 25 11:05:37 yeah Oct 25 11:05:50 Thought I was going insane that day Oct 25 11:06:01 * Claudia nods Oct 25 11:06:13 Was rough that day Oct 25 11:07:03 * Morgan nods Oct 25 11:07:05 Oh yes Oct 25 11:08:25 It’s not been as bad since? Oct 25 11:10:31 * Morgan shrugs Oct 25 11:10:42 Been a few times since others have been worried I was going to snap Oct 25 11:11:06 * Claudia nods Oct 25 11:11:17 the nightmares fuck you up Oct 25 11:11:27 * Morgan nods Oct 25 11:11:29 Yes they do Oct 25 11:13:33 Any better yet? Oct 25 11:14:00 It varies to be honest Oct 25 11:15:29 * Claudia nods Oct 25 11:15:54 [I imagine that means you are alright for now?] Oct 25 11:17:17 [I am love, yes] Oct 25 11:17:38 [very well. I’ll be with Heinrich next] Oct 25 11:19:20 [alright love, do you want me to join you?] Oct 25 11:20:12 [no, that’s fine, I’m sure you’ll want to spend time with the others] Oct 25 11:22:06 Right, I'm going to see how the others are getting on Oct 25 11:22:42 * Claudia nods, going back to swinging her sword around alone Oct 25 11:23:57 * Morgan heads inside to find the others Oct 25 11:25:06 *he finds Uinise, Christopher, Adalbrecht, and Mina in the library, drinking coffee and browsing the books Oct 25 11:26:22 Everyone alright? Oct 25 11:28:17 U: I am taking the time to choose from your books. Molly said I may borrow some Oct 25 11:28:49 * Morgan nods Oct 25 11:28:51 Of course Oct 25 11:29:55 C: I am going to send Uinise some books from Foxcroft too Oct 25 11:30:04 * Claudia is now known as Adalbrecht Oct 25 11:30:21 * Adalbrecht stands “Morgan, do you have a moment?” Oct 25 11:30:27 * Morgan nods Oct 25 11:30:29 Of course Oct 25 11:30:45 * Adalbrecht excuses them, going out into the hall Oct 25 11:31:21 * Morgan follows him out Oct 25 11:32:57 I have a favour to ask of you Oct 25 11:34:05 Whats that? Oct 25 11:34:20 I want a mirror pair with your Mother Oct 25 11:34:42 You want to speak to her... Oct 25 11:35:14 * Adalbrecht nods Oct 25 11:35:16 I do Oct 25 11:35:41 Have you arranged to? Oct 25 11:36:06 No, it just occurred to me that it would be... better than sending letters to her Oct 25 11:38:11 You can of course leave a note for her, but the chances of her being there to speak to without arranging a time... Oct 25 11:38:53 No, I meant I could send her one mirror and I have the other. We can make our arrangements from there Oct 25 11:39:18 * Morgan rubs his forehead Oct 25 11:39:22 I'll see what I've got available Oct 25 11:39:28 * Adalbrecht nods Oct 25 11:39:34 Thank you Oct 25 11:41:58 I'll go see what I've got Oct 25 11:43:26 I’ll be in the library Oct 25 11:43:55 * Morgan nods Oct 25 11:44:02 I'll be back soon Oct 25 11:44:11 [How many spare mirrors do we have?] Oct 25 11:44:11 * Adalbrecht goes back in Oct 25 11:45:13 [I am not sure... We were awaiting new mirrors to be sent, I think] Oct 25 11:45:41 [father wants a pair so he can send one to mother and they can speak while he's away... Edward wants one to talk with Florrie on their respective journeys..] Oct 25 11:46:13 [Your Father can just use yours, surely?] Oct 25 11:47:04 [well, I was thinking that but when he goes to Freiburg...] Oct 25 11:48:13 [then you’d be without it for a few days...] Oct 25 11:48:27 * Morgan sighs Oct 25 11:48:31 [right, okay] Oct 25 11:50:36 [Unless... oh...] Oct 25 11:50:42 [what?] Oct 25 11:51:17 [could it be possible that he doesn’t -want- to share his method of private correspondence to his wife with his son?!] Oct 25 11:52:08 [thats a distinct possiblity] Oct 25 11:55:01 [they wouldn’t, surely?] Oct 25 11:57:04 [tough to say] Oct 25 11:57:29 [yes...] Oct 25 11:59:06 [best see what we've got I suppose] Oct 25 11:59:40 [hmm? yes... or ask Jacques] Oct 25 12:00:14 [we've run out of mirrors to use] Oct 25 12:01:22 [maybe one can be bought somewhere hereabouts...] Oct 25 12:01:55 *Walder comes walking through the hall. He inclines his head* Milord Oct 25 12:03:15 Walder, how are you? Oct 25 12:04:08 * Adalbrecht is now known as Walder Oct 25 12:04:12 * Walder smiles Oct 25 12:04:38 I’m good, Milord, just coming for some coffee before getting all the horses rubbed down Oct 25 12:04:58 * Morgan nods Oct 25 12:05:09 I don't suppose there's anywhere nearby I can buy a mirror? Oct 25 12:05:27 what sort? Oct 25 12:07:18 One that reflects things... Oct 25 12:07:32 * Morgan smiles a little Oct 25 12:07:42 I need Jacques to create another pair Oct 25 12:09:06 * Walder nods Oct 25 12:09:45 I have some like that, came down from Freiburg in a package with some brushes Oct 25 12:10:08 Excellent... how much do you want for them? Oct 25 12:13:10 Household accounts paid for them, Milord *he smiles* Oct 25 12:14:29 * Morgan nods Oct 25 12:14:50 Alright... I've got some water to find out if its the well water we need or just Sudlache water... Oct 25 12:15:42 * Walder nods Oct 25 12:16:26 Best be at our place with so many around. I’ll get the mirror and water, Jacques will be around somewhere Oct 25 12:17:20 I think they were called in for tea Oct 25 12:17:32 * Walder nods Oct 25 12:17:42 Probably in the kitchen then Oct 25 12:18:00 * Morgan nods, moving that way Oct 25 12:18:33 *He finds Hildegarde and Theresa in here starting dinner, but no children Oct 25 12:19:18 Where are the children? Oct 25 12:19:30 T: Back out playing, my Lord Oct 25 12:20:51 * Morgan nods, thanking them before going outside to find them Oct 25 12:22:12 *they’re climbing up and jumping off a small rickety looking platform in turns* Oct 25 12:23:20 * Morgan whistles to them Oct 25 12:25:04 *they all come running over Oct 25 12:33:23 Right then boys... I've got a little job I need Jacques' help with, then he can come back and play Oct 25 12:38:13 *Rickon shrugs, and runs off to play. Varick looks torn, but follows Oct 25 12:38:19 * Walder is now known as Jacques Oct 25 12:38:24 me, Milord? Oct 25 12:38:58 * Morgan nods Oct 25 12:39:15 Got a mirror I need you to help me with, thats all Oct 25 12:42:22 * Jacques nods, going with him. The pass the turquoise drawing room. Molly is still sat at the desk, alone. But she’s nervously biting her thumb at the corner of her mouth. He’s only ever seen her do that once, just as she was mounting his face to sit on it for the first time after shyly asking. She hadn’t tasted or looked pregnant then like she would now. It’s been two hours almost since they were intimate. Oct 25 12:45:11 * Morgan smiles, carrying on Oct 25 12:46:08 *they get to Walder’s cottage quickly. It was neat when he saw it last, but sparse. now it’s more feminine and homely. There’s a box on the table Oct 25 12:46:35 * Morgan looks around Oct 25 12:46:45 You can tell Theresa lives here now, huh... Oct 25 12:47:57 * Jacques also hasn’t been here since the wedding, having gone to Sudlachenburg Oct 25 12:48:05 It looks different Oct 25 12:48:12 * Morgan nods Oct 25 12:48:16 How you feel about that? Oct 25 12:48:22 * Jacques shrugs Oct 25 12:48:25 It’s okay Oct 25 12:48:53 * Morgan nods, patting his shoulder Oct 25 12:49:13 Let's see about these mirrors hmm? I've got some water from the lake to see if its the well or the water thats important Oct 25 12:49:37 * Jacques goes to look in the box, taking out three good size mirrors Oct 25 12:49:55 [My love...] Oct 25 12:50:18 [yes?] Oct 25 12:50:30 [have you seen Elsie?] Oct 25 12:50:38 These will be good Oct 25 12:50:53 [not since we first arrived, why?] Oct 25 12:50:56 excellent Oct 25 12:51:04 * Morgan puts a small bottle of water from the Sudlache on the table Oct 25 12:51:14 [I just wanted to speak to her. I’ll find her, don’t worry] Oct 25 12:51:32 * Jacques also takes out three of the Vesten reed hairbrushes Oct 25 12:51:36 [oh... sorry, no, I've not seen her since we got here] Oct 25 12:51:50 [didn't you already see her?] Oct 25 12:51:50 [alright] Oct 25 12:52:14 [yes... It’s a little complicated. I’ll find you shortly?] Oct 25 12:52:23 what are these? Oct 25 12:52:23 [right okay] Oct 25 12:52:36 Oh, I think Molly wanted those... some weird brush things from Vesten Oct 25 12:53:18 * Jacques puts them aside. The last thing is a clear bottle containing clear liquid, and a letter tied to it Oct 25 12:54:24 what’s this? Oct 25 12:54:58 I don't know.... I'll have a look while you do the mirrors Oct 25 12:55:29 *Walder comes in with a bucket of well water, and the two of them get things set up Oct 25 12:55:47 * Morgan moves out of the way, looking the letter over Oct 25 12:56:41 *the writing is a bit laboured over, but it says on the outside “Kertig, Innisbrook, Eisen” Oct 25 12:56:59 * Morgan opens it carefully Oct 25 12:58:32 *it says “Miss you, y’ old dog. Anna big and fat, Gawain strong and healthy. Evie and Ayden got one on the way in June. Hope yer good. Enjoy this. Maelwys “ Oct 25 12:58:58 * Morgan smiles, tucking it in his pocket before opening the bottle to smell it Oct 25 12:59:27 *It smells more hazelnutty, but it’s definitely that moonshine from before* Oct 25 12:59:53 * Morgan corks it back up, putting it in a pocket of his coat Oct 25 13:00:00 *Walder looks over* I wondered what that was Oct 25 13:00:43 A bottle of moonshine from a friend in Avalon... he was my first friend over there Oct 25 13:01:24 Walder: *he smiles* Don’t see much moonshine now. Was common at War though Oct 25 13:01:44 Do I do the Sudlache water one first, or the well? Oct 25 13:02:44 Do the Sudlache water first, it'll give us the answer quickest Oct 25 13:04:46 * Jacques covers the mirror in the Sudlache water, then Morgan’s neck prickles. The water on the surface shimmers blue before it seems to suck into the glass surface. Oct 25 13:06:43 * Morgan watches it Oct 25 13:11:01 * Jacques then takes a little chisel and hammer to it, neatly splitting it with barely any slithers of glass being lost Oct 25 13:12:31 * Morgan makes a huh noise, looking impressed Oct 25 13:14:05 * Jacques picks up the two pieces, checking them. He looks proud Oct 25 13:21:17 All good? Oct 25 13:22:32 * Jacques brings one to Morgan. The image is even sharper and clearer than the usual ones Oct 25 13:23:21 * Morgan frowns a little Oct 25 13:23:25 Why is it clearer? Oct 25 13:24:56 * Jacques shrugs Oct 25 13:25:42 W: Probably the water, Milord? That well is what he normally uses, which is a mix of rain water and the underground water that’s probably part Sudlache water Oct 25 13:26:39 Interesting... I'd like to know at some point if it can be done with normal water... Oct 25 13:27:22 W: You could send some from a well up at Hafenlohr, Milord Oct 25 13:27:41 Or wait until you're all there... there's no rush, its just a bit of curiousity Oct 25 13:29:47 Do you want these other two doing, Milord? Oct 25 13:33:23 Please, if you don't mind Oct 25 13:35:07 * Jacques nods, getting on with this. It looks surprisingly simple, and soon Morgan has three new pairs of very crisp and clear mirrors. These would probably have pleased Molly even more the night she’d been away and he’d brought himself off whilst she watched Oct 25 13:35:20 W: *he grins* clever, isn’t it? Oct 25 13:35:41 * Morgan nods Oct 25 13:35:44 Exceptionally Oct 25 13:36:31 *they find things to wrap them in, and then put them in the box with the brushes Oct 25 13:36:52 W: Best Get it cleaned up before Theresa comes back Oct 25 13:37:07 * Morgan nods, looking at Jacques Oct 25 13:37:34 Kid, you're the reason my family will have contact with each other... it stops us missing each other so much... I cant overstate how much these mean to us Oct 25 13:37:46 * Jacques blushes, bowing his head Oct 25 13:37:51 Thank you, Milord Oct 25 13:38:58 Do you want a hand clearing up? Oct 25 13:39:24 *Walder nods* Unless you need to do anything before dinner, Milord? Oct 25 13:40:02 No, I've got what I need now Oct 25 13:40:46 *they get on with the cleaning. It’s a small place, so anything that they build at Hafenlohr is going to be bigger Oct 25 13:40:59 * Morgan mucks in helping them Oct 25 13:41:19 *it doesn’t take too long* Oct 25 13:41:40 [are you ready to eat, or shall I have it kept warm for you?] Oct 25 13:41:49 [I'll be in in a moment] Oct 25 13:41:55 Right, I'd best get back to Molly Oct 25 13:42:37 *they both nod, letting him take his box with him* W: We’ll be in for dinner soon Oct 25 13:46:55 * Morgan nods, heading for the main house Oct 25 13:48:50 *it’s warm inside, he can hear laughter from the drawing room. It reminds him of the time he came when he was nine, Adalbrecht was away but Verity, Mathilde, Hans, Edward, Alarice, and Jarvis were here. It was the time he was taught to use the blue pistol. Oct 25 13:49:18 * Morgan smiles a little, heading for the library Oct 25 13:49:59 *Everyone is in here except Molly and Hildegarde Oct 25 13:50:54 My lord... a moment? Oct 25 13:51:18 *Adalbrecht, Christopher, and Edward all look at him* Oct 25 13:52:12 *Adalbrecht stands, coming with him* Oct 25 13:52:41 * Morgan moves into the hallway Oct 25 13:52:45 I have your mirror Oct 25 13:53:32 * Jacques is now known as Adalbrecht Oct 25 13:53:34 * Adalbrecht smiles Oct 25 13:53:40 excellent, thank you Oct 25 13:55:25 I don't imagine we'll get it sent before the morning though Oct 25 13:55:32 * Adalbrecht nods Oct 25 13:55:52 Get it off first thing, it’ll be there by nightfall Oct 25 13:56:51 * Morgan nods Oct 25 13:56:55 aye Oct 25 13:57:00 I'm going to go put them safe Oct 25 13:57:26 * Adalbrecht nods Oct 25 13:57:38 Thank you for that. How much do I owe you? Oct 25 14:00:02 * Morgan smiles a little Oct 25 14:00:08 How much do you think they're worth? Oct 25 14:00:29 How could anyone work that out? Oct 25 14:01:24 Exactly. I've no clue Oct 25 14:01:51 I mean... you could pay for the materials... Oct 25 14:02:05 * Adalbrecht nods Oct 25 14:02:46 I will give you twenty guilders *This is plenty more than it would have cost* Oct 25 14:05:00 * Morgan nods Oct 25 14:05:20 That'll do, the craftsman should be reimbursed for his time and skill Oct 25 14:05:29 * Adalbrecht nods Oct 25 14:05:44 *Molly calls that dinner is ready* Oct 25 14:09:10 Can you let her know I'll be with you all shortly? Oct 25 14:09:46 I will Oct 25 14:11:15 * Adalbrecht goes back in to join the others Oct 25 14:11:24 * Morgan nods, heading off to pack the mirrors away safely Oct 25 14:12:36 *His room still smells good, and she must have forgotten that one cream cloth from earlier when she cleaned up a second time, because there’s two of them now Oct 25 14:13:05 * Morgan heads back down to the others Oct 25 14:14:46 *They’re all in the dining room, only Florrie and Emil missing. Yensid seems to have somehow disappeared between being with them on the road first thing and now Oct 25 14:15:16 Sorry, needed to put something away Oct 25 14:16:55 *his space at the head of the table is waiting for him. Seats are pulled out for the other women, but Molly is waiting for him. Oct 25 14:17:43 * Morgan moves to her, moving her chair for her Oct 25 14:17:51 * Adalbrecht is now known as Molly Oct 25 14:18:41 * Molly thanks him. She smells really good, and gets seated before having to adjust it to get most comfortable with her bump and the table Oct 25 14:19:08 * Morgan sits down Oct 25 14:20:00 *everyone waits patiently for him to start, except Rickon who is watching him eager Oct 25 14:20:01 y Oct 25 14:20:05 eagerly* Oct 25 14:20:18 * Morgan smiles a little, eating some Oct 25 14:22:47 *Everyone else eats too. It’s quite a straightforward meal, just chicken potatoes and vegetables, but it’s good. It’s obvious that Walder, Theresa, Elsie, James, Hildegarde and Heinrich eat together often, but the rest of them are not made to feel out of place. Edward seems a bit out of sorts, and Molly seems a little disinterested in her food. More unusually, her knee is not touching him beneath the table, and she seems a bit distracted Oct 25 14:23:04 James: My Lord, you wanted to talk about what happens now? Oct 25 14:23:16 * Morgan nods Oct 25 14:23:32 So you stab the food with this thing, called the fork, see, and put the food in your mouth... Oct 25 14:24:47 *they all laugh* Oct 25 14:25:46 James: Elsie and I were thinking it’s time for me to go to Freiburg for a few days, to get to know what needs doing there and where to stay Oct 25 14:26:47 * Morgan nods Oct 25 14:26:52 Aye, it probably is to be fair Oct 25 14:27:29 Ad: It seems like a good time for it as some of us are going that way anyway Oct 25 14:27:38 * Morgan nods Oct 25 14:27:43 Itd make sense Oct 25 14:28:01 *there’s nodding* Oct 25 14:28:47 Elsie: And we thought I’d stay here with Thomas until after the wedding you’re going to in June Oct 25 14:30:30 * Morgan nods Oct 25 14:30:33 If thats what you want to do Oct 25 14:31:08 *Elsie nods* we’ll give you some time and peace Oct 25 14:32:43 I suspect it'd be a bit lonely rattling around the big house while we're away and you're waiting for your cottage to be ready Oct 25 14:33:11 *Elsie nods* We’ve drawn up a plan for it Oct 25 14:34:20 * Morgan nods Oct 25 14:34:27 We'll have a look in a while? Oct 25 14:35:51 *Elsie nods. Everyone eats, it’s relaxed but not hugely chatty. He’d often rely on Molly to encourage the conversation along, but she seems the least chatty of the lot tonight* Oct 25 14:36:11 [whats wrong?] Oct 25 14:37:10 [there’s something going on in town that at the moment is a very small problem, but could actually become a bigger problem, and I’m not sure what I can do about it] Oct 25 14:37:22 [what is it? Oct 25 14:37:43 [I think we should discuss it after we’ve finished eating] Oct 25 14:37:58 * Morgan frowns a little Oct 25 14:38:59 *this leaves him wishing the meal would hurry up, and there comes a point that if he is willing to excuse them before dessert he could steal her off to talk* Oct 25 14:40:32 * Morgan doesn't Oct 25 14:46:04 *it’s eventually Molly that excuses them, after eating a small about of her pudding and praising Hildegarde and Theresa for it. Alice gives Morgan a smile with slightly lifted brows, clearly imagining they’re off again to resolve the morning’s interruption Oct 25 14:47:20 * Morgan rolls his eyes a little, getting up to help Molly up Oct 25 14:48:46 * Molly takes his hand with a little smile. It’s coming on for eight now, so he becomes extremely aware of the scent of her. She doesn’t seem to have thought of that at as she leaves the room with him Oct 25 14:49:27 * Morgan follows her Oct 25 14:49:52 * Molly goes into the turquoise drawing room where she perches on the desk Oct 25 14:50:12 * Morgan folds his arms, watching her Oct 25 14:53:39 * Molly looks troubled Oct 25 14:54:01 One of the girls at the brothel was hoping to marry a young man from a nearby village... Oct 25 14:56:29 Right... Oct 25 14:57:57 * Molly frowns Oct 25 14:58:27 But she’s developed some sores... I do not know much about diseases of an intimate nature... Oct 25 14:58:53 Right... Oct 25 14:59:14 So I asked Elsie... she thinks it might be something called Syphilis? Oct 25 14:59:30 * Morgan looks to think before nodding Oct 25 14:59:34 Right... Oct 25 15:00:16 it is sometimes called ‘The Montaigne Disease’, Both in Eisen and Avalon Oct 25 15:01:54 * Morgan nods Oct 25 15:02:07 So the issues are, potentially, how far its spread... Oct 25 15:02:54 * Molly nods Oct 25 15:02:59 Indeed... Oct 25 15:03:15 How is it treated? Oct 25 15:03:24 * Molly sighs Oct 25 15:03:38 Mercury. But that is also extremely harmful, often fatal Oct 25 15:04:16 I see Oct 25 15:06:19 * Molly nods, sighing Oct 25 15:06:48 It could spread like wildfire from a brothel Oct 25 15:07:30 * Morgan nods Oct 25 15:07:31 It could Oct 25 15:10:05 So, the dilemma is... do we just pay for a doctor to see her, examine the others, and use mercury for any treatments, or do I go myself? Oct 25 15:11:10 Tough one Oct 25 15:11:26 * Molly nods Oct 25 15:11:53 it is Oct 25 15:15:47 * Molly swings her legs a little, something he’s often seen her do when sat on a desk Oct 25 15:16:22 Also, the girl in question should not be working until she is treated, nor anyone else with symptoms Oct 25 15:16:55 * Morgan nods Oct 25 15:16:56 Indeed Oct 25 15:18:44 * Molly looks distracted, thoughtful, so she doesn’t notice when she adjusts the shoulder of her dress that she inadvertently flashes him the hot pink of her negligee beneath Oct 25 15:19:02 * Morgan watches her Oct 25 15:19:06 And I do not think a doctor would necessarily have the influence to do that Oct 25 15:19:55 No... Oct 25 15:22:32 * Molly nods, fidgeting to cross her legs, where he sees the honey suckle on her embroidered stockings at her ankles, knowing that flowers run right up them to her thighs Oct 25 15:22:53 Which means either the doctor and the sheriff are needed, or... Oct 25 15:23:04 Or you Oct 25 15:23:10 * Molly nods Oct 25 15:23:15 Yes, or me. Oct 25 15:23:21 I see Oct 25 15:23:29 * Molly nods Oct 25 15:24:01 I am reluctant to allow this to become an outbreak in our town Oct 25 15:24:38 Then you've already made the decision Oct 25 15:24:44 * Molly frowns Oct 25 15:25:03 I have not. I wouldn’t decide this without you. Oct 25 15:25:28 It sounds like you have... because, realistically, it is the safest way for them... Oct 25 15:25:43 It is, maybe... Oct 25 15:27:09 * Morgan nods Oct 25 15:27:44 Assuming I actually -can- do anything about it Oct 25 15:30:03 I don't see why you couldn't Oct 25 15:30:44 * Molly nods Oct 25 15:30:55 Yes... yes I suppose so... Oct 25 15:32:12 * Morgan nods Oct 25 15:33:41 * Molly leans back a little on the desk Oct 25 15:33:51 So you think I should do it? Oct 25 15:34:35 Its tough to say Oct 25 15:34:46 * Molly nods Oct 25 15:34:54 tell me what worries you? Oct 25 15:36:34 That your abilities are discovered, primarily... Oct 25 15:36:45 * Molly nods Oct 25 15:37:00 I’d need to find some cream or another to pass it off as Oct 25 15:37:45 * Morgan nods Oct 25 15:37:46 absolutely Oct 25 15:38:01 That shouldn’t be too hard though Oct 25 15:38:49 No, something smelly should do it Oct 25 15:39:18 * Molly nods Oct 25 15:39:31 How would we manage the logistics of it? Oct 25 15:39:50 *she sits up, again adjusting that shoulder Oct 25 15:40:01 I've no idea frankly Oct 25 15:42:02 No... *she ponders this a moment, subconsciously tracing her collar bone* It’d need to be quite well managed... I should have kept that blonde wig. Oct 25 15:43:17 * Morgan nods Oct 25 15:43:21 Aye, that would've helped Oct 25 15:43:52 We’ll buy something. Maybe not blonde though. Oct 25 15:44:19 *the one they had was the same colour and length as Dietlinde’s, but curly instead of straight* Oct 25 15:45:20 * Morgan shrugs Oct 25 15:45:25 I think brown Oct 25 15:45:34 * Molly nods, smiling Oct 25 15:46:44 Or black? Would that suit? *she’d had it short and black in the dream of Jaeger’s widow, that’s how it had been when his restraint had snapped and he had to have her* Oct 25 15:47:38 * Morgan nods Oct 25 15:47:39 Might do Oct 25 15:47:53 * Molly nods Oct 25 15:48:16 *She still looks to be pondering* Would we need to go in the back way? Oct 25 15:49:00 Probably, yes Oct 25 15:49:10 * Molly nods Oct 25 15:49:40 We could do with a decoy, someone to catch the attention of the main room? Oct 25 15:50:21 Like? Oct 25 15:50:47 That I do not know. I don’t think Mina would like us taking Edward...? Oct 25 15:51:20 *he does know that Edward has been there a few times before, but not for more than a year* Oct 25 15:51:32 He's been there before but... not for a year or more Oct 25 15:51:56 They’d know him... damn, if it would not cause upset he’d be the ideal Oct 25 15:52:03 * Morgan nods Oct 25 15:52:47 I am loathe to interrupt Heinzharold and Inga Oct 25 15:53:47 indeed Oct 25 15:55:06 * Molly sighs, lying back on the desk with a groan Oct 25 15:55:35 Your father would cause too much attention, I think your Uncle would find it uncomfortable... Oct 25 15:55:55 Uh huh... Oct 25 15:57:01 *It’s damned impracticable for him to now notice that he could easily pleasure her with his mouth like this, so of course that is what happens Oct 25 15:57:18 * Morgan blushes Oct 25 15:58:12 It might need to just be Heinrich and Ghalen *she doesn’t see his blush from her position, even if she did look in his direction her increasing belly would be in the way* Oct 25 15:58:53 Reckon? Oct 25 15:59:43 It’s not the ideal... we want them relaxed and at ease so that they trust me Oct 25 16:00:50 The other option... is just you and I go... Oct 25 16:02:04 won’t people talk about why you’ve taken me there? *she sighs* god knows they’d just assume that you, as a man with a pregnant wife, are there just to swive one of the girls! Oct 25 16:02:24 You forget I've been there before and played cards with them... Oct 25 16:03:21 * Molly nods, propping up on her elbows, smiling. It reminds him of Picante, how she’d been like this on his desk in black satin, reading his docking permit Oct 25 16:03:31 Yes... so they already trust you... Oct 25 16:03:36 * Morgan nods Oct 25 16:03:58 * Molly nods Oct 25 16:04:09 That could work, I think... Oct 25 16:05:39 * Morgan nods Oct 25 16:06:09 * Molly sits up Oct 25 16:06:38 Alright then... I shall find my box Oct 25 16:07:28 Box? Oct 25 16:07:43 With my medicines and herbs Oct 25 16:08:33 * Morgan nods Oct 25 16:08:39 Alright... Oct 25 16:10:07 You will find a small carriage and a coachman? Oct 25 16:12:24 There's something we could do with dealing with first... Oct 25 16:12:39 * Molly checks the clock Oct 25 16:13:33 Yes, the brothel will be open for quite some time, but everyone here might have gone to be before we get back. We need to see them about the building plans? Oct 25 16:17:39 No, I meant... us... Oct 25 16:19:59 * Molly frowns a little “Are we at odds that you thought I’d decided without you?” Oct 25 16:21:11 No, but you're looking quite delectable... Oct 25 16:21:20 * Molly smiles, blushing Oct 25 16:21:24 Oh! I see! Oct 25 16:23:10 * Molly glances at the door “Immediately then?” Oct 25 16:24:00 * Morgan nods Oct 25 16:24:01 Yes please Oct 25 16:25:05 Best lock it then, my love *she starts to pull her skirts up, the honeysuckle, dog roses, ivy, and then forget me nots right up to mid thigh Oct 25 16:26:04 * Morgan nods, moving to lock the door Oct 25 16:26:36 You’ll tell me what you need? Oct 25 16:27:11 Relief... Oct 25 16:27:43 And you do not mind how it comes? Oct 25 16:28:06 No love Oct 25 16:28:43 * Molly nods thoughtfully, then smiles, beckoning him to her Oct 25 16:28:50 No holding you off? Oct 25 16:29:06 Absolutely not Oct 25 16:29:49 * Molly smiles “No increasing your volume?” Oct 25 16:31:02 Uhhhh... maybe? Oct 25 16:32:46 * Molly nods, placing her hand between her legs a moment. His neck prickles Oct 25 16:34:22 * Morgan watching he's her Oct 25 16:34:48 * Molly motions him closer again Oct 25 16:35:51 * Morgan moves closer Oct 25 16:37:22 * Molly smiles fondly, starting to undo his placket. For all the concern and distraction she had before, she looks to be fully engaged and happy now Oct 25 16:38:03 * Morgan watches her hands Oct 25 16:39:14 *he can feel a deep sense of fullness and pressure within him, much as he does when she has occasionally gotten him close and then eased off. She drops the flap, and pushes up the bottom of his shirt to bare him Oct 25 16:42:22 * Morgan moves closer Oct 25 16:43:35 * Molly watches him, taking her hand from her own body to his, her cupped hand warm and oh-so-slick as it encases his head Oct 25 16:43:46 * Morgan moans quietly Oct 25 16:45:52 * Molly smiles, moving that grip right down him, coating him so her fingers glide smoothly Oct 25 16:46:38 * Morgan watches her hand Oct 25 16:50:35 * Molly moves her hand back up and then down again, quite slowly, not as tight as usual. The benefit of her using her own arousal to lubricate him is that now he can very strongly appreciate the pregnant scent of her. But there’s something more too, the mix of both of their pleasures from earlier Oct 25 16:50:50 Oh thats good Oct 25 16:52:49 * Molly nods, smiling “Not too gentle?” Oct 25 16:53:28 A little... Oct 25 16:55:24 * Molly smiles with mischief, but he sees from how her pupils dilate it’s more than just playful Oct 25 16:55:45 Why don’t you put your hand over mine and help correct me...? Oct 25 16:56:07 Seems counterproductive... Oct 25 16:56:13 does it? Oct 25 16:57:54 * Morgan nods Oct 25 16:58:00 Surely it'd mean I'm just doing it myself... Oct 25 16:58:43 * Molly shrugs a little “I suppose so...” She tightens her grip, speeding up Oct 25 16:59:28 * Morgan grunts, twitching a little Oct 25 17:00:51 * Molly smiles, watching his face as she gets tighter and faster. The internal pressure is much more than he’s used to, especially when the stimulation hasn’t been for very long Oct 25 17:01:55 * Morgan starts breathing slowly Oct 25 17:05:18 * Molly continues as she was, but shuffles a little further forward and making sure her outer skirts are well-protected by her under ones, including that hot pink lace he’d already caught a glimpse of* Is this okay? Oct 25 17:05:48 * Morgan nods Oct 25 17:05:50 Soon, I think Oct 25 17:06:03 * Molly nods, smiling “I know” Oct 25 17:07:07 * Morgan nods, rolling his hips Oct 25 17:09:03 /me watches her hand upon him, using the other to again collect her wetness. She admires it a moment on and between hers fingers, seeing how slippery and stretchy it is Oct 25 17:10:00 * Morgan watches her Oct 25 17:11:12 * Molly smiles, using this hand upon him too, refreshing the heat and slide Oct 25 17:13:20 * Morgan moans, nodding as he rolls his hips Oct 25 17:15:23 * Molly works one hand around his base, and the other closer to his head, it’s a little slower but plenty tight, and the two independently moving sets of sensation is quite novel Oct 25 17:16:09 Oh... oh thats... Oct 25 17:17:04 * Molly nods, concentrating hard, watching her hands. She’s so focused that she’s biting her lower lip Oct 25 17:17:53 You like? Oct 25 17:18:12 * Morgan nods, breathing deeply Oct 25 17:19:38 * Molly glances up, looking for his approval, her hands working in a clockwise and anti-clockwise twist even as they move up and down Oct 25 17:22:00 * Morgan nods Oct 25 17:22:03 Thats it Oct 25 17:22:30 * Molly looks pleased with this “Wet enough?” Oct 25 17:22:44 * Morgan nods Oct 25 17:22:51 About to be much wetter... Oct 25 17:24:29 * Molly nods, looking pleased. The internal pressure is definitely the most he’s felt before, closest to the times she’s held his muscles so he’s had several dry orgasms before finally releasing Oct 25 17:24:59 * Morgan breathes deeply, rolling his hips before he suddenly tenses Oct 25 17:26:35 * Molly keeps going, but changes the angle a little so that he’s pointed towards the inside of her skirts as well as her womanhood. He can feel that this is about to get extremely messy Oct 25 17:26:58 * Morgan grunts before suddenly spilling his seed Oct 25 17:28:30 *the huge volume of this makes it very intense, pulsing over and over and over. She makes a moan at the heat of it, and then a sound of being impressed. The pleasure and the spurting continues Oct 25 17:29:37 Holy shit... Oct 25 17:30:33 * Molly nods, her expression full of happiness. He starts to slow down, and she slows with her hands too Oct 25 17:34:03 * Morgan breathes heavily Oct 25 17:34:42 * Molly gently strokes, slowing to a stop. He feels very emptied out Oct 25 17:34:53 Are you alright? Oct 25 17:35:45 * Morgan nods slowly Oct 25 17:35:48 Yeah... Oct 25 17:36:50 * Molly nods, gently releasing him Oct 25 17:37:06 Was it too much? Oct 25 17:38:01 Uhhh... ask me later... Oct 25 17:38:06 * Molly smiles Oct 25 17:38:14 I wish I’d brought a mirror Oct 25 17:39:27 Oh? Oct 25 17:41:17 I’d like to see the aftermath... Oct 25 17:41:38 * Morgan looks down, passing what he sees to her Oct 25 17:43:20 *Her womanhood is absolutely plastered in his release, like an enthusiastic child has been given free reign to ice a cake. It’s also over her petticoat, soaking in, and her pink lace is now white and shiny. It’s far more than he would have thought possible Oct 25 17:43:24 Oh my! Oct 25 17:44:22 Yeah... Oct 25 17:44:53 * Molly looks at his expression, looking for his feelings there Oct 25 17:47:27 * Morgan looks a little surprised Oct 25 17:47:56 That is very, -very-, hot. Oct 25 17:48:40 * Morgan nods Oct 25 17:49:14 * Molly lets out a long slow breath Oct 25 17:49:24 Do you feel better now? Oct 25 17:50:03 * Morgan nods Oct 25 17:50:06 aye Oct 25 17:50:30 * Molly nods, taking a deep breath “Alright then...” Oct 25 17:52:59 What? Oct 25 17:53:11 I am trying to decide something Oct 25 17:53:19 Whats that? Oct 25 17:53:37 whether I can manage through the evening so aroused... Oct 25 17:54:04 difficult Oct 25 17:54:16 * Molly nods Oct 25 17:54:20 It is Oct 25 17:55:53 Will I be more distracted than is ideal? But on the other hand... Oct 25 17:57:34 I think you would, to be honest Oct 25 17:57:46 * Molly nods Oct 25 17:57:51 I suppose so Oct 25 18:00:43 *he notices how horrendously thirsty he is* Oct 25 18:02:08 I newed a drink Oct 25 18:02:47 /me nods Oct 25 18:03:05 Go then, my love, I’ll find you shortly Oct 25 18:05:26 * Morgan watches her for a moment before shoving two fingers inside her, immediately hooking them forward Oct 25 18:07:08 * Molly ‘s head drops back, and she shudders deeply. She’s soaked, outside and inside, and very hot and soft around his fingers Oct 25 18:07:41 * Morgan fingers her roughly Oct 25 18:09:05 * Molly gasps, also pushing towards his hand firmly. She has her eyes tight shut, fingers gripping the edge of the desk Oct 25 18:12:29 Come on now, give it up... Oct 25 18:13:36 God, liebes herz! *she tilts her hips to optimise the angle* I love the feel... of your fingers... when I’m covered... *she manages to say no more, because there’s a knock on the door* Oct 25 18:17:53 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Oct 25 18:21:18 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Oct 25 18:21:57 Who is it? Oct 25 18:22:24 * Molly writhes against him, watching him pleadingly Oct 25 18:22:45 * Morgan keeps his fingers moving Oct 25 18:23:01 C: Claudia. A few of us are going to the tavern in a minute, are you coming? Oct 25 18:23:49 * Molly shifts forward, resting her forehead to his chest Oct 25 18:23:57 No, we've got something to take of, but thanks Oct 25 18:24:11 C: okay, see you later Oct 25 18:25:18 Aye, might catch up if we can Oct 25 18:25:30 C: okay Oct 25 18:26:03 * Morgan nods, picking up his pace Oct 25 18:26:52 *it sounds like Claudia is gone. Molly seems to be stuck, close but not quite managing to get over the edge Oct 25 18:27:15 Ccome on, let go... Oct 25 18:27:50 * Molly makes a sort of sob “I’m trying, I promise!” Oct 25 18:30:36 * Morgan watches her Oct 25 18:30:40 Its alright... Oct 25 18:31:03 * Molly looks deeply aroused and extremely frustrated Oct 25 18:32:34 it’s not! it’s unbearable! Oct 25 18:33:01 * Morgan pauses, adding a third finger before resuming his actions Oct 25 18:35:00 * Molly sounds to get closer, but the sounds of people getting their coats on down the hall stalls her again. If they were doing this to her on purpose, and he wasn’t so recently spent, her need and desperation would be very arousing Oct 25 18:36:21 * Morgan pauses a moment to run his fingers through his cum before putting them in her mouth Oct 25 18:40:10 * Molly suddenly peaks extremely hard when the taste of him meets her tongue. Her whole body tenses for what seems like a very long time, and she watches him through it with a desire that looks violent Oct 25 18:44:50 Thats it my love, good girl Oct 25 18:46:22 * Molly climaxes once more, just as intensely, and then seems to slow down, breathing hard Oct 25 18:49:13 * Morgan stops Oct 25 18:49:16 Alright? Oct 25 18:49:32 * Molly nods, exhaling with relief Oct 25 18:49:40 yes, thank goodness! Oct 25 18:49:52 * Morgan nods Oct 25 18:49:57 Good, cos I'm dying of thirst here Oct 25 18:50:06 * Molly laughs Oct 25 18:50:15 go and drink, my love Oct 25 18:50:45 * Molly looks at him with mischief Oct 25 18:50:56 unless milk would suffice... Oct 25 18:51:02 * Morgan nods, tidying himself up Oct 25 18:51:52 * Molly interprets that as the latter, and starts undoing her dress, revealing the top of the negligee Oct 25 18:52:37 * Morgan looks at her, confused Oct 25 18:53:11 * Molly keeps going, not realising he hadn’t heard, and bares a breast Oct 25 18:54:30 do you need to sit in the chair? Oct 25 18:55:37 Uhhh... I suppose so Oct 25 18:56:17 * Molly nods, shifting to the right place so he can do so Oct 25 18:56:31 take your sweet-tasting down? Oct 25 18:57:23 * Morgan nods, sitting down Oct 25 18:58:30 *his neck prickles, and her nipple seems to get with the program too, little drops appearing on the surface Oct 25 18:59:14 * Morgan draws her nipple into his mouth Oct 25 19:00:38 * Molly sighs happily, stroking his hair. He can’t much taste it yet, but what he can taste is barely sweet at all, more like lighter-tasting cows milk Oct 25 19:01:56 Ready, my love? Oct 25 19:02:59 * Morgan nods, sucking Oct 25 19:05:09 *even the faint taste gets his mouth watering, and then she shivers and lets out a soft sigh. The warm milk, thinner and more watery than usual streams into his mouth. He’s so very thirsty, more than he can really recall apart from when he had escaped the Vaticine camp where he’d been tortured Oct 25 19:06:48 * Morgan drinks greedily Oct 25 19:08:53 * Molly speaks softly “Oh I love you so much...” Oct 25 19:09:02 * Morgan nods, swallowing Oct 25 19:09:58 *the heat, the thinness, it’s absolutely spot on. After a couple of minutes, the flow fades, but he’s still thirsty* Oct 25 19:12:33 * Morgan pulls away Oct 25 19:12:37 More please Oct 25 19:14:43 * Molly nods, immediately releasing the other breast, which looks even fuller. The look she gives him is so very tender and adoring it almost hurts in his chest Oct 25 19:18:47 * Morgan immediately pulls the nipple into his mouth, sucking Oct 25 19:19:34 *the milk flows immediately and she sighs happily again, once more stroking his hair Oct 25 19:19:49 * Morgan drinks Oct 25 19:20:31 *he can feels the urgency settle and then the thirst is just mild* Oct 25 19:21:51 * Morgan slows Oct 25 19:22:38 * Molly stays where she is. The milk starts to lessen away Oct 25 19:23:41 I can make more? Oct 25 19:23:49 * Morgan releases her nipple Oct 25 19:24:45 * Molly watches his expression closely “okay?” Oct 25 19:25:31 * Morgan nods Oct 25 19:25:34 I need to get a drink Oct 25 19:26:01 * Molly looks a little perplexed “it didn’t work?” Oct 25 19:27:04 I was -so- thirsty Oct 25 19:27:37 * Molly nods, gently kissing his forehead “As long as it helped some” Oct 25 19:27:51 * Morgan nods Oct 25 19:27:52 Aye Oct 25 19:28:10 * Molly looks at him “Go on then, my love” Oct 25 19:29:35 * Morgan nods, getting up and tidying himself before going to get a drink Oct 25 19:30:19 *He bumps into Edward in the hall before he gets to the kitchen * Oct 25 19:30:23 * Molly is now known as Edward Oct 25 19:30:32 I wondered where you were Oct 25 19:31:02 There's an issue in town, we were talking about solutions Oct 25 19:31:10 * Edward nods Oct 25 19:31:42 Anything I can help with? *he smiles* you smell like babies Oct 25 19:33:23 We're concerned there's an outbreak of an illness at the brothel... Oct 25 19:33:36 * Edward frowns Oct 25 19:34:10 The sort of illness specific to brothels, or in general? I’m headed to the kitchen to make some coffee, are you coming? Oct 25 19:36:31 Specific to brothels... the Montaigne one... Oct 25 19:36:37 * Edward groans Oct 25 19:36:41 Fantastic Oct 25 19:36:50 *he heads towards the kitchen* Oct 25 19:37:01 * Morgan nods, following him Oct 25 19:38:15 * Edward goes in. The dishes are all waiting to be done, but no one is here Oct 25 19:46:08 Unusual... Oct 25 19:46:33 They’re all at the tavern, it’s just Mimi, the children and I. And you and Molly, of course Oct 25 19:48:18 I see Oct 25 19:48:53 * Edward nods, going to make some coffee Oct 25 19:49:12 *there’s a couple of jugs of water on the side Oct 25 19:49:26 * Morgan pours some, drinking it Oct 25 19:50:34 *it’s nice and cool* Oct 25 19:51:04 What is going on at the brothel then? Oct 25 19:52:17 One of the girls wants to get married but its been discovered she has the Montaigne disease... now there's the worry of treatment, which could be fatal, and an outbreak... Oct 25 19:54:25 * Edward shrugs a little “If it’s early enough, a little mercury as an ointment can work” Oct 25 19:55:26 Thats what can be fatal Oct 25 19:56:03 I’ve known people use it in small doses, but yes, the concern of it spreading is a big ne Oct 25 19:56:27 one* Oct 25 19:57:29 * Morgan nods Oct 25 19:58:53 *his thirst is almost gone now* Oct 25 19:59:04 what are you thinking? Oct 25 19:59:17 Taking action Oct 25 20:01:52 * Edward nods, smiling Oct 25 20:02:01 Vague and unhelpful, I like it... Oct 25 20:02:46 We're going to go and deal with it Oct 25 20:02:58 * Edward nods, smirking Oct 25 20:03:08 Do you need a cheaper, brother Oct 25 20:03:14 chaperone * Oct 25 20:04:12 No, I'll manage... besides, I don't imagine your wife being keen on you going at all, let alone going -there- Oct 25 20:06:21 * Edward smiles “I could persuade her, I am in the good books, but it would be preferable for me to be here in case Florrie wakes* Oct 25 20:06:48 Then I insist you stay here Oct 25 20:07:33 * Edward nods Oct 25 20:07:49 Molly will treat them magically? Oct 25 20:08:57 She'll apply some nasty smelling cream, and the sores will start to heal... Oct 25 20:09:03 * Edward nods Oct 25 20:09:36 Make sure she checks the feet too. It’s usually hands, soles of feet, and genitals Oct 25 20:10:18 * Morgan nods Oct 25 20:10:22 I'll let her know Oct 25 20:10:47 * Edward nods, smiling wryly “Finally my misspent youth is coming to fruition...” Oct 25 20:12:47 Well, its about time an army boy came in useful Oct 25 20:13:30 * Edward laughs “More useful than sticking our genitals in fish like navy boys” Oct 25 20:14:38 * Morgan shrugs Oct 25 20:14:47 For some being at sea is boring... Oct 25 20:15:06 * Edward laughs Oct 25 20:16:01 We used to say A Dog Is An Army Man’s Best Friend, But A Dogfish Is A Navy Man’s Best Lover Oct 25 20:16:40 Yeah that sounds about the level of intelligence I'd expect from army types Oct 25 20:16:47 * Edward chuckles Oct 25 20:17:00 How long do you expect to be at the brothel? Oct 25 20:17:35 *He hears footsteps coming towards the kitchen* Oct 25 20:18:14 * Morgan shrugs, looking toward the door Oct 25 20:19:18 *Molly comes in. She’s straightened up, but she’s still in the same dress, and in his mind’s eye he can see again what he showed her, how covered in him she was, and the state of her underclothes with it too Oct 25 20:19:52 *Molly smiles* did everyone go out? Oct 25 20:20:26 * Edward smiles “It’s just Mina and I, and all the various children” Oct 25 20:21:39 Edward offered to assist us in town, but I've said he should stay Oct 25 20:21:51 *Molly nods a little, thoughtfully* Yes, that’s best... I didn’t realise Elsie would be going too... Has she left milk for Thomas? Oct 25 20:22:12 * Edward nods “She has. Do you need to leave some for Emil?” Oct 25 20:23:00 *Molly somehow manages to give nothing away in her expression* No, he wouldn’t usually wake, but he’ll take cows milk happily Oct 25 20:23:32 * Edward nods, making the coffee for him and Mina Oct 25 20:23:59 M: Are you ready to go, my love? *she quickly pours another glass of water* Oct 25 20:25:00 * Morgan nods, finishing his water Oct 25 20:25:46 * Edward downs hers, then a second Oct 25 20:25:50 * Edward is now known as Molly Oct 25 20:26:12 E: We’ll make sure that Varick is in bed by nine Oct 25 20:26:38 * Morgan nods Oct 25 20:26:40 Thank you Oct 25 20:27:25 /me hugs Edward. He looks a little surprised, but hugs her back, watching Morgan questioningly over her shoulder Oct 25 20:28:14 * Morgan shrugs Oct 25 20:29:02 *Edward assures them everything will be fine, and he’ll see them later* Oct 25 20:29:51 Ready love? Oct 25 20:31:02 * Molly goes into the hall, picking up her box and a cloak. She doesn’t say much whilst a groom gets a little carriage ready, and she climbs in without needing help. It’s when they are in there in the darker interior that she says “May I check you over?” Oct 25 20:31:55 For... Oct 25 20:32:04 Dehydration Oct 25 20:33:04 * Morgan nods Oct 25 20:34:11 Yeah ok Oct 25 20:35:01 * Molly takes his hand, and his skin tingles there, neck prickling Oct 25 20:35:08 mmhmm. How do you feel? Oct 25 20:35:16 A bit thirsty Oct 25 20:37:15 * Molly nods Oct 25 20:37:29 You are fine though. I’m sorry. Oct 25 20:37:44 Sorry? Oct 25 20:37:58 *the coach starts moving* Oct 25 20:38:15 I didn’t realise it would make you so thirsty like that Oct 25 20:38:45 Nor did I Oct 25 20:40:12 * Molly nods, looking like she feels guilty Oct 25 20:41:00 We’ll make sure you get plenty to drink at the brothel. You could do with something a little salty too Oct 25 20:41:53 Right, okay Oct 25 20:42:06 * Molly squeezes gently Oct 25 20:42:19 Are you upset with me, my love? Oct 25 20:42:40 No, why would I be? Oct 25 20:42:59 You seem out of sorts Oct 25 20:43:30 No, I'm alright Oct 25 20:43:41 * Molly nods Oct 25 20:45:13 Alright. *the brothel is less than ten minutes away, and she sits quietly, just holding his hand. He’d definitely made the right choice, the scent of her in the small carriage hits his brain but doesn’t manage to catch hold yet Oct 25 20:46:36 *They pull up to a stop a little while later Oct 25 20:47:06 * Morgan climbs out, looking around before helping her out Oct 25 20:47:54 *it’s quiet. There’s light from the brothel and a little piano music, but there’s not a lot of sound of people Oct 25 20:48:30 * Molly takes a deep breath, and picks up the box to hold in front of her like a shield Oct 25 20:50:16 Don't worry love... Oct 25 20:51:37 * Molly nods, swallowing nervously Oct 25 20:51:44 lead the way, my love Oct 25 20:51:56 * Morgan nods, moving to open the door Oct 25 20:54:19 *the piano music is louder, there’s some feminine laughter, and very faintly he can hear the noise of female pleasure from upstairs. There’s two men sat at a table surrounded by ten girls. He recognises five of them. The one called Lauren who had taken a particular shine to him isn’t present, but the blonde barkeep who was interested in Claudia is. She smiles at him Oct 25 20:54:26 * Molly is now known as Barbara Oct 25 20:54:37 Good evening, your Excellency Oct 25 20:54:49 Evening... is there somewhere private we can talk? Oct 25 20:55:30 * Barbara nods, motioning him behind the bar. Molly looks quite shy, eyes downcast Oct 25 20:55:55 * Morgan motions Molly to follow before moving behind the bar Oct 25 20:57:31 *Barbara lets Molly through, just as Lauren arrives downstairs. She looks delighted, saying “I’m glad you’re back, your Excellency, my evening has been really unsatisfying so far!” Oct 25 20:58:11 Evening Lauren... you're well? Oct 25 20:58:17 * Barbara looks at the girl, putting her finger to her lip as a warning Oct 25 20:58:29 *Lauren nods* Yes, your Excellency Oct 25 20:59:48 *Lauren stays quiet, but she’s still giving Morgan flirty looks. Barbara tells her to watch the bar for a few minutes* Oct 25 21:00:18 * Morgan nods a little, moving into the room Oct 25 21:00:50 * Barbara follows, shutting the door. It smells nice back here, like fresh laundry Oct 25 21:01:11 *there’s a couple of stools to sit on, but nothing more Oct 25 21:01:42 Barbara, this is Molly, my wife... Molly, Barbara Oct 25 21:03:31 * Barbara smiles at her. The considering look could be the same she gave Claudia, or she could be considering what sort of wages a girl with hair like that could make, it’s tough to tell. But the scrutiny is brief, and her attention is soon turned to a polite greeting followed by “I’m not sure what services we could render to you both...” Oct 25 21:03:54 *Molly blushes at this, looking down at the medicines box* Oct 25 21:04:24 As before, a drink wouldn't go amiss... we've come, though, because we've heard tell one of the girls is suffering with a malady... Oct 25 21:04:33 * Barbara nods Oct 25 21:04:43 Two now... what drinks? Oct 25 21:05:09 Ale for me... Molly? Oct 25 21:05:25 M: Umm... white wine? Oct 25 21:05:59 * Barbara nods, getting up “I’ll get them, I need to see who is going upstairs with Farmer Friedrich” Oct 25 21:06:13 * Morgan nods Oct 25 21:06:55 * Barbara goes, leaving the two of them in there. Molly looks a little more relaxed now they’re alone, and is smiling slightly, looking distracted Oct 25 21:07:20 Whats wrong? Oct 25 21:07:54 *She smiles* Nothing, but this is what the laundry cupboard smelled like in my dream earlier Oct 25 21:08:41 Ah, I see Oct 25 21:10:10 *she nods. Barbara returns with their drinks* Oct 25 21:10:58 what is it you need? *Molly drinks a big mouthful of hers* Oct 25 21:12:03 We're here to treat the girls... the last thing anyone needs is an outbreak of it Oct 25 21:12:29 Treat them with what? Oct 25 21:13:21 M: I have some creams that are very good. I’ve recently had some medical training in another country, and I have a reputation as a good medic Oct 25 21:14:13 * Barbara nods “Anything is worth a try, Enndelin is desperate to leave, and Joselyn wants to get back to work” Oct 25 21:14:27 * Morgan nods Oct 25 21:14:47 It'd save the doctor getting involved with mercury... my concern, though, is the men they've been with... Oct 25 21:17:10 * Barbara nods “There’s a list, but they’d need to be asked about any off the books activities” Oct 25 21:17:38 * Morgan nods Oct 25 21:17:46 Good chance they'll need treatment too, see Oct 25 21:18:56 * Barbara nods Oct 25 21:19:02 That’s usually how it is Oct 25 21:19:42 * Morgan nods, sipping his ale Oct 25 21:19:50 Enndelin is the one wanting to get married? Oct 25 21:19:59 * Barbara nods, smiling Oct 25 21:20:06 Turning to honour, yep Oct 25 21:20:47 * Morgan looks to Molly Oct 25 21:20:54 Do you think the others will need examining? Oct 25 21:22:00 M: *she nods* I think it’s sensible as we’re going tomorrow Oct 25 21:22:05 * Barbara nods Oct 25 21:22:30 It’s a good night for it, Monday’s are normally quiet, we mostly just play cards Oct 25 21:22:37 * Barbara smiles a little at Morgan Oct 25 21:22:54 * Morgan nods, looking to Molly Oct 25 21:23:04 You'll need a room, I expect? Oct 25 21:23:57 *Molly nods* That’d be best Oct 25 21:24:42 * Barbara nods “I’ll take you up to one. You’ll have to try to ignore the sounds, I’m afraid, your Excellency” Oct 25 21:24:55 *Molly nods* It’s fine Oct 25 21:25:29 * Barbara stands and opens the door. Molly looks to Morgan Oct 25 21:25:41 M: Will you be alright down here? Oct 25 21:26:08 * Morgan nods Oct 25 21:26:12 I'll be fine love Oct 25 21:27:11 *Molly nods, squaring her shoulders. Barabara seems to have directed a couple of the girls upstairs, because there’s only seven downstairs, including Lauren Oct 25 21:27:21 * Barbara is now known as Lauren Oct 25 21:27:56 * Lauren is stood behind the bar, watching Molly and Barbara go upstairs. Then she smiles at Morgan Oct 25 21:28:17 They’ve left you down here with the bad girls... Oct 25 21:28:41 You've no idea love Oct 25 21:29:03 * Lauren smiles, tilting her head “oh, why’s that then?” Oct 25 21:29:19 Remember what I told you last time I was here? Oct 25 21:29:41 * Lauren leans in closer “I remember you said you have a big cock...” Oct 25 21:29:57 No, not that... and I never said it, as such Oct 25 21:30:07 * Lauren laughs Oct 25 21:30:41 what then? *the other girls are watching, some he met before, one is shuffling the cards expectantly* Oct 25 21:31:02 Ah, well if you can't remember, you're a bit out of luck I'm afraid Oct 25 21:31:29 * Lauren smiles “why don’t you refresh my memory, your Excellency?” Oct 25 21:31:58 About the most... shocking thing I've done... Oct 25 21:32:11 * Lauren laughs “oh yeah!” Oct 25 21:32:16 * Morgan nods Oct 25 21:32:19 Thats my wife... Oct 25 21:32:33 *One of the girls rolls her eyes* Stop hogging him, Lauren! Oct 25 21:32:51 * Lauren looks a little surprised “But she’s pregnant!” Oct 25 21:33:47 Believe it or not I had noticed that... my point, though... is that not all the bad girls are down here Oct 25 21:35:12 * Lauren laughs again Oct 25 21:35:26 She doesn’t look like the type Oct 25 21:35:32 Nor do I Oct 25 21:35:44 *One of the other girls says* Come and play with us, my Lord! Oct 25 21:36:10 * Lauren smiles “No... but I think you’d be a lot of fun” Oct 25 21:36:46 sometimes Oct 25 21:38:26 we better join them... I thought you might come back here alone... Oct 25 21:40:37 I was quite open that I am happy where I am love Oct 25 21:41:11 * Lauren smiles “I know, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be hopeful...” Oct 25 21:42:23 *one of the other girls comes over, touching his arm* Come on my Lord, we’re all bored tonight *There’s a sound of intense pleasure from upstairs* Oct 25 21:43:15 Except Rena. Sounds like Rena’s not bored! Oct 25 21:43:45 [oh my goodness!] Oct 25 21:44:02 It does a bit Oct 25 21:44:11 [someone seems to enjoy their work] Oct 25 21:44:41 [yes... I’m tempted to reduce my hearing, I need to focus on my work] Oct 25 21:45:08 [if you wish but I wouldn't do it too much] Oct 25 21:45:33 [no... it’s not practical, but it’s difficult not to think of Jura.] Oct 25 21:46:32 [I can see that I suppose] Oct 25 21:46:58 *They do coax him to the cards with his ale, it’s not like there’s anything else to do here* Oct 25 21:48:11 * Lauren takes the deal. Morgan wins the first hand, giving him the chance to ask one of the girls he doesn’t know a question Oct 25 21:50:00 *She says that the most people she’s had sex with at one time was ten. The others are actually surprised by it, but it turns out it was at a nobleman’s stag party a few years ago* Oct 25 21:50:50 *Another girl says* You know how noblemen are! Oct 25 21:51:03 * Lauren smirks at Morgan, handing him the deal Oct 25 21:51:28 No, I've no idea, I'm a complete innocent... Oct 25 21:51:41 * Morgan flicks a card into the air and back into the deck before shuffling and dealing Oct 25 21:52:13 *they all like this, and little comments about dexterous hands are made. His neck prickles* Oct 25 21:53:20 A Girl: There was a noble orgy not long ago at a [insert name they faced the Ashkoven at here]. It was outdoors! Oct 25 21:53:45 Was there? Oct 25 21:53:48 *they giggle about this* Oct 25 21:54:29 *The girl says* No one seems to know what nobles though. I think it was like two girls and three guys Oct 25 21:55:02 *his cards are horrendous* Oct 25 21:55:39 Bit weird, no-one knowing who... sounds like it could be bunkum Oct 25 21:55:45 * Morgan sets about bluffing his hand Oct 25 21:55:58 Girl: Could be, But it’s pretty funny Oct 25 21:57:28 * Lauren is watching him closely, and doesn’t fall for his bluff. She beats him soundly, and considers her question Oct 25 21:58:19 when was the last time you had sex? Oct 25 21:58:57 * Morgan takes out a pocket watch to check the time Oct 25 21:59:08 What counts as sex? Oct 25 22:00:12 *they discuss this amongst themselves, and decide anything partnered that ends in orgasm is acceptable* Oct 25 22:00:26 * Morgan nods, closing his watch and putting it away Oct 25 22:00:36 Forty one minutes ago Oct 25 22:00:49 *they all laugh* Oct 25 22:01:58 *he beats them all a couple of times, recycling these questions. His neck prickles again as they play. He next loses and gets asked “What is one sexual thing you’ve never done but want to?” Oct 25 22:03:30 Do you know, I've no idea Oct 25 22:04:05 *there’s groans and teasing about it being a cop out. They seem very relaxed with him despite his status* Oct 25 22:04:20 Girl: There’s got to be something?! Oct 25 22:05:29 [are you alright down there, my love?] Oct 25 22:06:34 [yes, just playing cards] Oct 25 22:07:05 I don't know really... I did enjoy seeing how many fingers my wife could accommodate, I suppose further along those lines... Oct 25 22:08:52 *They nod, and the play continues. A few minutes later, the two girls in question come down, and Molly follows. Oct 25 22:11:07 *She watches the play a moment, and how close Lauren sits by Morgan. Then she says* I am sorry to interrupt, but If I could have two more of you come up please... Oct 25 22:11:58 [stop it] Oct 25 22:12:42 *A couple of the girls do go, and Enndelin and Jocelyn join the table again.* [I trust you, it’s just makes me feel a little possessive and reclaiming!] Oct 25 22:13:29 *it’s his turn to deal again* Oct 25 22:13:55 * Morgan performs another small trick before dealing Oct 25 22:14:28 *he notices sores on both the girls’ hands. It looks painful* Oct 25 22:14:51 Which one of you is Enndelin? Oct 25 22:15:15 [Edward mentioned checking their feet] Oct 25 22:15:29 *The one with a sweet, innocent looking face and light brown hair smiles* Me, Lord Oct 25 22:15:42 [I have been. Elsewhere also.] Oct 25 22:16:07 [alright, just thought I'd mention it] Oct 25 22:16:51 [thank you though. These noises... it makes it difficult to focus! I can’t even imagine what it’s like for men] Oct 25 22:17:06 I understand you're hoping to marry? Oct 25 22:17:15 * Lauren is now known as Enndelin Oct 25 22:17:20 Yes, Lord Oct 25 22:17:36 *his cards are bad again* Oct 25 22:17:56 *his neck prickles once more* Oct 25 22:18:58 My congratulations Oct 25 22:19:37 * Enndelin nods sadly Oct 25 22:19:45 If it goes ahead now... Oct 25 22:20:13 Because of the illness? Oct 25 22:21:23 * Enndelin nods. He gets beaten, so his conversation gets interrupted by Jocelyn asking him “What are your kinks, your Excellency?” Oct 25 22:21:40 I don't recall having any I'm afraid Oct 25 22:22:09 Jocelyn : I thought everyone had kinks... Oct 25 22:22:36 Ah but I'm sweet and innocent... ish. Oct 25 22:23:05 *the ones who played with him before laugh at this* Oct 25 22:24:00 *Jocelyn is dealer, so the play moves on again. His neck prickles once, then again* Oct 25 22:24:45 I don’t really get why I got it... I’ve been working much less since Nick asked me to marry him Oct 25 22:25:28 Oh? Oct 25 22:26:10 Just hand jobs, or pearl necklaces, you know? Oct 25 22:27:06 * Morgan looks confused Oct 25 22:27:14 They bring you necklaces? Oct 25 22:27:57 *they fall about with laughter at this, but Enndelin takes pity on him* It’s when a man wanks himself off onto my tits, my Lord Oct 25 22:28:36 * Morgan nods slowly Oct 25 22:28:51 Okay... okay... I have two questions... whats a wank and why do you have two birds? Oct 25 22:29:00 *the two girls who went up last come back down, Molly in their wake* Oct 25 22:29:32 A wank is when a man strokes his cock until he cums Oct 25 22:30:14 *Molly blushes, biting her lip. No doubt she’s here to ask for others to come upstairs, but she says nothing* Oct 25 22:30:28 * Morgan looks confused Oct 25 22:30:46 Cant see how manhandling a cockerel would make any sense... Oct 25 22:31:25 [Enndelin was just telling me she's not sure how she got it, since she's been doing mostly external things since she accepted Nicks proposal...] Oct 25 22:31:30 *they laugh hysterically at this. Molly takes a deep breath* two more please... Oct 25 22:31:42 [I am at present very perplexed] Oct 25 22:32:23 *they swap around again, Lauren going with another girl* Oct 25 22:32:34 No, it’s his penis! Oct 25 22:32:54 [unless Nick...] Oct 25 22:33:06 * Morgan slowly starts grinning Oct 25 22:33:12 Alright, I'm not -that- innocent Oct 25 22:33:19 Jocelyn smiles: No man in his twenties doesn’t know what a wank is Oct 25 22:33:35 * Enndelin smiles “Oh, sorry, Lord” Oct 25 22:33:41 [maybe.] Oct 25 22:35:22 Don't worry at it... to be fair, I -was- that innocent for quite some time Oct 25 22:35:30 *Jocelyn looks at her hands sadly before picking her cards up* Oct 25 22:36:19 * Enndelin smiles. She wins the hand, so asks Morgan “When did you first learn what wanking was?” Oct 25 22:37:22 The word or the act? Oct 25 22:37:35 *his neck prickles twice is short succession. Enndelin smiles “both” Oct 25 22:38:31 The act, probably when I was about fifteen... the word, maybe... a few years ago... Oct 25 22:38:53 A girl says: Fifteen is quite old! Oct 25 22:40:27 *there’s some more loud noises of pleasure from upstairs. It must have been like it was for his sailors where he and Molly were in Jura* Oct 25 22:42:12 Aye, I imagine it is Oct 25 22:43:14 *there’s more play, and more of him recycling questions, and then Jocelyn gets to ask him: No kinks, but what are your guaranteed turn ons? Oct 25 22:43:52 * Morgan blows out his cheeks Oct 25 22:44:02 *this makes them all giggle Oct 25 22:44:20 Tough one... Oct 25 22:44:39 *they wait expectantly* Oct 25 22:45:35 *the girls return, and Molly comes half way down the stairs. She looks a little frustrated Oct 25 22:46:01 [whats wrong?] Oct 25 22:47:13 [this is puzzling... it’s alright, don’t worry] Can I have the last of you please? Oct 25 22:47:35 *the girls all look reluctant, waiting for Morgan’s answer Oct 25 22:47:57 Go on with you, you can find out later Oct 25 22:48:05 [do you think I might be right?] Oct 25 22:48:22 *the last ones groan, going up the stairs grudgingly* Oct 25 22:48:57 [possibly... I need to see the final two, but as you can hear, they’re working. I have been invited to join in...] Oct 25 22:49:14 *the others look back to Morgan* Oct 25 22:50:10 [yeah, that happens] Oct 25 22:50:31 [I’ll make an excuse, if you like] Oct 25 22:50:37 Alright, look, its a bit odd... Oct 25 22:50:42 [no, we need to get this sorted] Oct 25 22:50:57 *they only look more intrigued* Oct 25 22:51:36 Jocelyn: The odder the better! Oct 25 22:52:38 Maybe not -that- odd... you might have noticed my wife is pregnant... there's something about the way she smells... Oct 25 22:53:00 Another girl says: Like, down below? Oct 25 22:54:10 * Morgan shakes his head Oct 25 22:54:23 *his neck prickles again* Oct 25 22:54:28 No... I mean, its more noticeable there, sure, but no... just in general Oct 25 22:54:46 I think that’s sweet Oct 25 22:55:20 Jocelyn smiles: Sounds almost like a kink Oct 25 22:55:32 Almost... but not quite Oct 25 22:55:53 What’s the difference between a turn on and a kink anyway? Oct 25 22:56:15 Oh, am I the wrong person to ask Oct 25 22:56:57 *Jocelyn smiles* A kink is a sexual desire or practice that most would think is unusual or unconventional Oct 25 22:57:14 *Lauren laughs* That’s most of what we do! Oct 25 22:59:00 * Enndelin nods a little “So like when they always want me to call them daddy, that’s a kink?” Oct 25 22:59:53 *the girls laugh, and they decide it’s only really her that gets that. Oct 25 23:01:00 *The girls come down to sit at the table, and this time Molly and Barbara follow. Molly’s drink is empty, the noises from above continue Oct 25 23:01:22 [have you seen everyone? Or are we still waiting on the vocal ones?] Oct 25 23:01:42 [waiting, unfortunately. I need another drink] Oct 25 23:02:45 [is that safe?] Oct 25 23:03:10 * Enndelin invites Molly to join them, and a seat is brought over, opposite Morgan [I’ll take water, or coffee] Oct 25 23:03:34 * Enndelin is now known as Molly Oct 25 23:04:40 * Molly sits. It’s hard to tell whether she’s more preoccupied by what’s going on, or more nervous about the game. Lauren rattles off the rules about secrecy and turn taking* Oct 25 23:06:24 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Oct 25 23:59:05 * Molly has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
