**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 30 16:39:10 2025 Oct 30 16:39:10 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Oct 30 16:41:19 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Oct 30 16:42:14 Let us say I have a healthy respect for her, in light of preferring my body parts to keep touching each other Oct 30 16:42:14 Fathers scared of her Oct 30 16:42:14 * Edward chuckles Oct 30 16:42:14 He was in an unpleasant mood when he got back Oct 30 16:42:14 Oh? Oct 30 16:42:17 The sort of unpleasant mood a man might have having left his wife behind at home Oct 30 16:42:19 * Morgan nods Oct 30 16:42:21 He's paying me for the mirrors he's having so he can talk to mother Oct 30 16:42:23 * Edward nods slowly Oct 30 16:42:25 I see... Oct 30 16:42:27 Do you? Oct 30 16:42:29 Interesting that I mention marital frustration, and you volunteer him having mirrors to see his wife... Oct 30 16:42:31 Blame Molly... she pointed out that perhaps he needed a mirror separate to his sons to speak with her... Oct 30 16:42:36 * Edward chuckles Oct 30 16:42:38 Yes, it all makes more sense once you mention my schwesterlein’s involvement... Oct 30 16:42:40 * Morgan nods Oct 30 16:42:42 Indeed Oct 30 16:44:04 I cannot say my own wife would have jumped to a different conclusion, she has mentioned before things that she would find interesting to do with them Oct 30 16:45:19 But she's so sweet and innocent Oct 30 16:45:23 * Molly is now known as Edward Oct 30 16:45:29 * Edward chuckles Oct 30 16:45:47 She does appear that way Oct 30 16:46:33 * Morgan nods, sipping his whiskey Oct 30 16:47:25 I am still discovering her hidden depths myself Oct 30 16:48:46 * Morgan nods Oct 30 16:48:52 I suspect you could be at that for years Oct 30 16:50:46 * Edward nods, smiling “That suits me” Oct 30 16:51:23 *he sips the drink* What about you, brother? Do you feel you are still discovering your wife’s depths? Oct 30 16:53:04 * Morgan nods Oct 30 16:53:24 There's still things that surprise me... mind you, sometimes I'm not sure she has considered it either Oct 30 16:53:44 Oh? Oct 30 16:54:34 * Morgan nods Oct 30 16:54:41 We'll see as time goes on I suppose Oct 30 16:56:25 You are being purposefully vague to protect the Lady’s modesty? Oct 30 16:59:07 * Morgan shrugs Oct 30 16:59:23 More that there are no specific things in mind Oct 30 17:00:45 Ah I see... Things grow and evolve from what we do... Oct 30 17:08:47 * Morgan nods Oct 30 17:08:48 Indeed Oct 30 17:09:23 * Edward nods “how are the two of you?l Oct 30 17:09:52 * Morgan nods Oct 30 17:10:01 We're okay... todays been a bit tough Oct 30 17:10:29 why is that? Oct 30 17:11:14 Things have been difficult, and being interrupted this morning meant I needed her to behave and not be provocative Oct 30 17:11:47 Yes? Oct 30 17:13:14 She finds that difficult Oct 30 17:13:27 what did she do? Oct 30 17:14:54 Just pushing at the boundaries when I need her not to Oct 30 17:15:21 is she aware of what these boundaries are? Oct 30 17:16:59 I specifically asked her not to push it Oct 30 17:18:31 I think that their frustration and ours runs quite differently. Certainly for Mimi, her desire is more like a pot that will simmer along for hours with a little stirring. Mine is more likely to boil over and end in a bad temper Oct 30 17:19:13 * Morgan nods Oct 30 17:19:14 quite Oct 30 17:20:00 * Edward drinks another mouthful Oct 30 17:20:49 Which begs the question, what is it -she- needs that being provocative when she is been asked not to gets her? Oct 30 17:21:34 * Morgan shrugs Oct 30 17:21:35 No idea Oct 30 17:21:58 * Edward nods Oct 30 17:22:34 I would wonder if it is some sort of power play, a desire to control, but... Oct 30 17:22:43 I don't think so Oct 30 17:23:15 no, from what comes back to me in terms of gossip, that is not the impression I get of her Oct 30 17:24:06 * Morgan nods, sipping his drink Oct 30 17:24:29 has this always been a problem? Oct 30 17:24:57 frequently Oct 30 17:26:02 It is not just since the two of you have had more trouble with frequency then... Oct 30 17:27:28 Its more prominent Oct 30 17:28:01 * Edward seems to consider this, watching the flames a moment Oct 30 17:29:03 It is somewhat out of my wheelhouse... Mimi is not this way, and most of my other encounters have not required me to do any form of Maintenance, sexual or emotional Oct 30 17:29:12 * Morgan nods Oct 30 17:29:16 We'll sort it out Oct 30 17:30:07 Naturally... Zench would likely be the one most experienced with this sort of behaviour Oct 30 17:30:33 * Morgan nods Oct 30 17:30:36 That would make sense Oct 30 17:31:37 I will write a note on the mirror for DeeDee tonight, maybe you’ll have an answer before we depart. Failing that, I will leave you with the mirror joined to his Oct 30 17:32:46 * Morgan nods slowly Oct 30 17:33:00 Are you sure you won't need it? It'll be a while before you get to Graben... Oct 30 17:33:56 it would be useful, but have I not always sought answers from my experienced friends about your bedroom questions? *he smirks* Oct 30 17:34:21 You have, but I would not keep Graben from the guidance of her Freiarr Oct 30 17:35:42 DeeDee is still in Fischler at present, I was going to send him on to Westfeld and beyond when I get there Oct 30 17:35:50 * Morgan nods Oct 30 17:35:52 Ah, alright Oct 30 17:36:40 Wonks will write to me there too, I am not concerned Oct 30 17:36:49 * Morgan nods Oct 30 17:36:50 Okay Oct 30 17:38:06 *The mention of Wonks, and the previous questions about what he now knows is called squirting leads to remembering how Wonks had been so envious thinking Edward had managed to experience that with Mina, and how Morgan now knows Lauren and one of the other brothel girls can* Oct 30 17:38:39 Wonks would like that brothel... Oct 30 17:38:56 Would he? Oct 30 17:39:13 Uh huh... you remember his envy? Oct 30 17:39:48 * Edward chuckles Oct 30 17:39:51 I do indeed Oct 30 17:40:21 Couple of the girls there would be right up his street... Oct 30 17:40:47 * Edward grins Oct 30 17:41:01 I will ensure he is made aware of that Oct 30 17:41:15 * Morgan nods Oct 30 17:41:30 He might wish to ask for Lauren Oct 30 17:42:26 * Edward nods “Very well. I cannot say I’ve made any efforts in trying to discover it, but never say never” Oct 30 17:42:46 * Morgan smiles Oct 30 17:42:52 That card game reveals all sorts of information Oct 30 17:43:48 me watches him suspiciously “does it?l Oct 30 17:44:54 * Morgan nods Oct 30 17:44:57 Yes it does Oct 30 17:45:14 And what is it you’ve heard? Oct 30 17:45:36 Nothing you need to be concerned about Oct 30 17:46:04 * Edward smiles Oct 30 17:46:11 That is good to know... Oct 30 17:47:07 * Morgan nods, taking a mouthful of his whiskey Oct 30 17:48:14 Did you find it a challenge? You are not generally one to boast about his experiences Oct 30 17:50:09 * Morgan nods Oct 30 17:50:22 It is quite difficult... particularly since one of them seems to have a thing for me Oct 30 17:51:02 * Edward chuckles Oct 30 17:51:19 Most men would be flattered by all these issues Oct 30 17:51:42 I am not most men Oct 30 17:52:12 true. how did Molly handle it? Oct 30 17:52:37 She joined in... she seemed quite sanguine about it Oct 30 17:53:05 I meant you being fancied Oct 30 17:55:03 So did I Oct 30 17:56:12 * Edward nods consideringly “that also doesn’t fit that well with my idea of hero Oct 30 17:56:16 her* Oct 30 17:56:29 * Morgan nods Oct 30 17:56:43 Perhaps she's just more secure in her knowledge of my desire for her alone Oct 30 17:58:18 which one would expect the opposite of, if some questions were about your previous experiences, as they usually are Oct 30 17:59:07 * Morgan nods Oct 30 17:59:17 Her view on it is... difficult to explain Oct 30 17:59:36 * Edward tops the glasses back up Oct 30 17:59:39 Oh? Oct 30 18:00:12 * Morgan nods, topping up his drink Oct 30 18:01:40 She has to view it in a certain way.... But like I said, its hard to explain Oct 30 18:02:04 so I’d need to ask her? Oct 30 18:02:17 Basically, yes Oct 30 18:03:14 * Edward nods “I will do so, I have always found she is willing to talk quite personally about this” Oct 30 18:03:51 * Morgan nods Oct 30 18:03:56 Which is surprising in itself Oct 30 18:04:05 yes and no Oct 30 18:05:44 Both? Oct 30 18:05:54 * Edward nods Oct 30 18:06:17 I -am- good with women Oct 30 18:08:26 Because you are one Oct 30 18:10:44 * Edward chuckles Oct 30 18:11:05 I see you do not want my help then Oct 30 18:11:21 I didn't say that Oct 30 18:12:07 Are you concerned about her having to view it a certain way? Oct 30 18:12:41 After hearing her explanation of how she views it... no, actually Oct 30 18:12:59 and beg? Oct 30 18:13:03 before Oct 30 18:13:13 I didn't understand it at all Oct 30 18:14:35 * Edward nods “They can be confusing. She always struck me as naturally prone to jealousy” Oct 30 18:16:22 She is usually Oct 30 18:17:17 * Edward nods “Yet not about Dietlinde, from what she has said before” Oct 30 18:17:41 * Morgan nods Oct 30 18:17:42 Indeed Oct 30 18:18:22 I have theories about that, but as I say, they are extremely complex creatures Oct 30 18:18:55 * Morgan nods Oct 30 18:18:57 Yes they are Oct 30 18:19:09 * Edward sips his whiskey Oct 30 18:20:37 I have learnt that Mimi’s lack of jealousy that had first been apparent and led to my permission to find other amusement was entirely conditioned, and beneath that there is a jealous sort of streak Oct 30 18:20:59 * Morgan nods Oct 30 18:21:04 That surprises me little Oct 30 18:21:37 * Edward nods Oct 30 18:22:36 In a year or two, I will allow a little of that to develop, but it is too soon yet Oct 30 18:22:54 * Morgan nods Oct 30 18:22:57 Yes it is Oct 30 18:33:39 * Edward nods, sipping the drink Oct 30 18:42:29 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Oct 30 18:42:32 * Morgan (~madisonst@192.168.1.129) has joined Oct 30 18:43:15 * Edward has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Oct 30 18:44:15 * Molly (~u931732@192.168.1.101) has joined Oct 30 18:44:34 * Molly is now known as Edward Oct 30 18:45:04 It wouldn't be wise to undo the progress you've made Oct 30 18:46:01 No, but a little of the way jealous ladies behave is always quite the turn on Oct 30 18:46:21 I suppose so Oct 30 18:46:58 * Edward chuckles “I am not opposed to a little manhandling of my person” Oct 30 18:48:03 * Morgan nods Oct 30 18:48:06 It has its charms Oct 30 18:48:34 Yes, until you try to sit right back in a chair the next day Oct 30 18:49:12 * Morgan chuckles Oct 30 18:49:19 I'm made of sterner stuff Oct 30 18:49:34 * Edward laughs Oct 30 18:49:47 Maybe your wife’s nails are less sharp Oct 30 18:50:30 No... though I do have significantly less sensation in my back... although... Oct 30 18:50:35 * Morgan pulls his collar down Oct 30 18:52:36 * Edward chuckles, leaning forward to look “Did that hurt?” Oct 30 18:53:11 Yes... yes it did Oct 30 18:53:37 She could just fix it though Oct 30 18:54:38 Yes I know Oct 30 18:58:50 Mimi is not much of a biter... Oct 30 18:59:06 No? Oct 30 18:59:39 * Edward says “Unfortunately” before sipping his drink Oct 30 19:00:08 I could arrange for that desire to get back to her... Oct 30 19:00:25 * Edward nods Oct 30 19:00:35 That would be acceptable Oct 30 19:01:10 * Morgan nods, sipping his drink Oct 30 19:01:47 what about you, brother? I could also utilise a similar pathway... Oct 30 19:02:24 I think I'm alright for now Oct 30 19:02:43 * Edward nods Oct 30 19:04:50 Feel free to encourage her to swallow whilst you’re at it. Oct 30 19:05:13 I'll mention it but I make no promises Oct 30 19:08:57 *he has encountered this himself in his Wolfblood dreams, where she’d delicately spat his release into a handkerchief after Mrs Danvers had walked in on her orally pleasuring him just as he’d been about to cum Oct 30 19:09:12 * Edward nods “Perhaps one day” Oct 30 19:12:54 * Morgan nods Oct 30 19:13:26 * Edward takes a mouthful “Did you ever try that thing I suggested with her tongue out?” Oct 30 19:13:33 Might have... Oct 30 19:13:50 * Edward chuckles “You’re welcome.” Oct 30 19:14:08 * Morgan nods Oct 30 19:14:12 HeinzHarold also thanks you Oct 30 19:14:51 * Edward nods “I wouldn’t have thought his wife the type” Oct 30 19:16:50 * Morgan sniggers Oct 30 19:16:51 You've no idea Oct 30 19:18:48 * Edward chuckles “I do know of a particular intimate position that did come from that direction though” Oct 30 19:19:52 Oh? Oct 30 19:20:31 The one where she lies on her stomach with a pillow to angle her hips Oct 30 19:20:52 Oh, that... yeah... Oct 30 19:22:01 * Edward nods Oct 30 19:22:41 You’ve encountered that double twist of the hands on your member? Oct 30 19:24:06 * Morgan nods Oct 30 19:24:14 Yes... I have enough real estate for that to be worthwhile Oct 30 19:24:33 * Edward chuckles “Yes, it’s a family trait, that came from my wife” Oct 30 19:25:55 My having an enormous cock came from your wife?! Oct 30 19:26:41 * Edward laughs hard Oct 30 19:26:53 No, but mine comes for her! Oct 30 19:27:14 * Morgan laughs Oct 30 19:28:35 I meant the technique *he finishes the last of the whiskey* Time to raid Uncle Hans’ secret stash Oct 30 19:29:49 Oh did it? Oct 30 19:30:27 It did. She was very proud of herself Oct 30 19:31:31 * Edward opens the top desk drawer half way, then fully opens the bottom before pulling it out Oct 30 19:31:59 Its a good job Molly didn't know about that drawer... Oct 30 19:32:07 why? Oct 30 19:33:09 She loves figuring stuff like that out... and you'd probably have found a leather dick in it Oct 30 19:33:34 *Morgan also has Maelwys’ moonshine in his pocket, and three of those Vesten brushes that Edward wanted* Oct 30 19:34:41 Why would Uncle Hans have had something like that? Oct 30 19:35:36 No, if Molly had known about it, thats what would've ended up in there Oct 30 19:36:05 * Edward pulls out a bottle of what might be mead, and also a clear spirit Morgan doesn’t recognise. He looks at Morgan with concern “What does she need one for?” Oct 30 19:36:38 She doesn't... Oct 30 19:37:18 Where did she get that? *he sets both bottle on the table. The clear one is Vendel Gin* Oct 30 19:37:33 Capperlucia... they're quite popular Oct 30 19:38:00 * Edward gestures to the bottles “help yourself” Oct 30 19:38:38 Ivory and wood I have seen... Oct 30 19:39:23 * Morgan tilts his head Oct 30 19:39:36 Thank you for offering me the drink in -my- house... Oct 30 19:39:48 * Edward chuckles “I forget sometimes” Oct 30 19:39:54 No, these are soft and supple... less useful in a fight though Oct 30 19:40:04 * Edward laughs Oct 30 19:40:18 How many Godemiche’s have you ever fought with? Oct 30 19:41:04 Given I didn't know what one was until fairly recently... none... -but-, the only way a leather one is going to end a fight is if everyones surprised when it bounces off of someones head Oct 30 19:41:16 * Edward laughs Oct 30 19:41:39 I’ve never fought with any. I’ve sheathed a couple though *he smirks* Oct 30 19:42:13 Oh there's a shock, you playing with fake dicks... Oct 30 19:43:08 * Edward laughs Oct 30 19:43:24 Not upon myself... buggery doesn’t interest me Oct 30 19:43:56 * Morgan nods, pouring himself some gin Oct 30 19:44:22 * Edward follows suit once Morgan’s put the bottle down Oct 30 19:44:40 Have you thought about selling them? Oct 30 19:45:42 Its been posited as an idea Oct 30 19:46:43 * Edward nods, sniffing the gin before sipping it Oct 30 19:47:22 I’d sell them starting in Madame Verbene’s in Fischler. Oct 30 19:48:30 I might see about getting some then Oct 30 19:48:35 * Edward nods Oct 30 19:49:38 I think it could be very profitable. The clientele in there have had a lot of money to throw at the voyueristic desires, things that are new and novel will appeal Oct 30 19:50:30 * Morgan nods Oct 30 19:50:31 Good idea Oct 30 19:50:48 * Edward nods, smiling thoughtfully Oct 30 19:52:42 Yes... I’d invest in that. The Madame arranges some sort of private show for a group of visitors, see the girls with them in action, and then sell ones for their use with their mistresses... You would make a cut of that Oct 30 19:54:38 * Morgan nods Oct 30 19:54:40 Sounds good Oct 30 19:55:34 * Edward nods Oct 30 19:56:00 Word would get around, other establishments would want them. Petra would definitely be interested. Oct 30 19:57:02 * Morgan nods Oct 30 19:57:05 I'll write to her Oct 30 19:57:37 * Edward nods Oct 30 19:57:43 I hope she is well Oct 30 19:59:19 * Morgan nods Oct 30 19:59:23 She was when I last saw her Oct 30 19:59:33 * Edward nods Oct 30 19:59:36 I miss her Oct 30 20:00:38 * Edward drinks some gin Oct 30 20:00:43 * Morgan nods Oct 30 20:00:46 She seemed very nice Oct 30 20:00:50 * Edward nods Oct 30 20:01:16 She is. Kind, honest, and very patient Oct 30 20:06:27 * Morgan nods Oct 30 20:07:48 * Edward smiles “We were friends a long time, but she is right that it is no longer appropriate. I do not want Mimi thinking that I might still think of what happened between us” Oct 30 20:08:45 * Morgan nods Oct 30 20:08:56 She had a soft spot for you I think Oct 30 20:09:02 * Edward smiles Oct 30 20:09:16 You are correct Oct 30 20:09:52 * Morgan nods Oct 30 20:10:56 But I am happy with Mimi. When upon occasion my thoughts return there, They do not linger Oct 30 20:11:24 * Morgan nods Oct 30 20:11:26 good Oct 30 20:11:52 * Edward nods “That’s the same for you?” Oct 30 20:13:57 Bit different with all the paths and dreams Oct 30 20:14:05 * Edward nods Oct 30 20:14:28 You are less able to control the thoughts you’re left with? Oct 30 20:15:15 It all feels real, and the feelings linger a little Oct 30 20:15:22 * Edward nods Oct 30 20:15:47 That must feel awful Oct 30 20:16:42 * Morgan nods Oct 30 20:16:43 It does Oct 30 20:17:21 * Edward nods, looking at his gin Oct 30 20:17:26 This is not bad Oct 30 20:19:14 * Morgan nods Oct 30 20:19:15 So so Oct 30 20:19:28 You could have had the mead, or more whiskey Oct 30 20:20:38 I might have some mead actually Oct 30 20:21:12 * Edward nods Oct 30 20:21:42 I always keep an eye out for things that are rare to see Oct 30 20:22:58 Oh? Oct 30 20:23:33 Generally wines, but I’ve been known to go for unusual rums Oct 30 20:25:55 * Edward drinks more gin “Drambuie is always good Oct 30 20:26:42 *Ever since an early strong dream of hers that he’d been in, Drambuie has tasted to him of scotch, honey, and Molly’s skin* Oct 30 20:29:15 * Morgan nods, pouring himself some mead Oct 30 20:29:19 I like Drambuie... Oct 30 20:29:33 * Edward nods Oct 30 20:30:05 I always have. Potts introduced me to it, Hannalore introduced him to it Oct 30 20:33:28 * Morgan nods Oct 30 20:33:34 It tastes of Molly's skin to me Oct 30 20:33:41 * Edward chuckles Oct 30 20:33:49 oddly specific, brother Oct 30 20:34:13 Since a dream... its just always tasted that way Oct 30 20:34:30 That is presumably a good thing? Oct 30 20:37:11 * Morgan nods Oct 30 20:37:12 Aye Oct 30 20:38:28 * Edward nods “speaking of dreams, did you ought to be turning in?” Oct 30 20:38:38 * Morgan sighs Oct 30 20:38:40 I suppose so Oct 30 20:39:18 * Edward glances at the mantle clock, which shows the rapid approach of quarter after midnight Oct 30 20:39:33 So should you Oct 30 20:39:44 * Edward nods “I am aware” Oct 30 20:41:03 You'll be neither use nor ornament, and tomorrow will be tough enough without you being tired and grumpy on top Oct 30 20:41:57 * Edward nods “I’ll go up soon” Oct 30 20:42:11 * Morgan nods, putting the brushes on the desk Oct 30 20:42:22 You wanted those Ibelieve Oct 30 20:42:37 * Edward smiles “I do. How much do I owe you?” Oct 30 20:42:54 I'll let you know Oct 30 20:43:47 * Edward nods Oct 30 20:43:53 Goodnight, brother Oct 30 20:45:21 * Morgan nods, patting his shoulder before heading up to his room Oct 30 20:46:08 *Molly is already asleep, curled up under the covers. The room once more smells like her pregnancy and arousal. There's a couple of cream flannels that have been rinsed and hung to dry by the basin, and a new crumpled one, slightly shiny. Oct 30 20:46:23 *it's only been an hour since she came to bed. It's unfortunate then that he's now started to regain enough potential to release again, though it'd be most likely a lacklustre and tiny amount, only just enough to take the mental arousal away rather than be a particularly pleasurable experience. Oct 30 20:47:25 * Morgan sighs, getting undressed and into bed Oct 30 20:48:07 * Edward fidgets in her sleep, just enough to put her hand on his chest Oct 30 20:48:10 * Edward is now known as Molly Oct 30 20:48:32 * Morgan says a silent prayer before trying to sleep Oct 30 20:49:31 **He starts to fall asleep, into a nightmare he hasn't had for a long time. It is January, 1664, he's 20 years old. He's now working espionage missions with HH, and has had Xantha a little while. His first time meeting Dietlinde is still two months away. MTF Oct 30 20:49:55 **He'd been a prisoner for more than a day, just like he had been in reality. He's in a lot of pain, not just because he's been hung from the rafters by his wrists almost all that time, nor the hunger, the injuries, the awful thirst, but knowing that the clock is ticking, and Heinzharold is awaiting rescue again. Awaiting -him-. MTF Oct 30 20:50:32 *After disabling his captor and getting loose, he quickly puts on his Vaticine Uniform, which is at least dry. Many hours of being hung up like that, especially whilst being tortured, had meant his regular uniform is wet, and worse. He'll need a stream to wash them, but drinking that frsh water first is more pressing MTF Oct 30 20:50:52 **He bundles it up in a bag along with all the papers, keys, coins, and weapons that he can. Alongside not providing for calls of nature, they've not fed or watered him, and he is achingly, awfully thirsty MTF Oct 30 20:51:42 **he doesn't know how long he was unconscious and without water either. His mouth tastes bloody, but there's not enough saliva to spit it out. It hurts where his teeth were, his nails too, and his boots feel bloodier than he'd like. His head still hurts from the whack they'd taken him down with. MTF Oct 30 20:52:05 **He needs to get gone before the cut in his side bleeds through the uniform, poor planning compared to the Objectionists picking black as their colour of choice. MTF Oct 30 20:52:27 **The white uniform feels a bit snugger, but it'll have to do. His arms feel heavy, but they'll have to do too. His legs feel wobbly from so long suspended in one spot, but they do take him forward when told, albeit in unsteady steps. His head swims with the pain and the denial of essential fluids. Outside the room is a long stone hallway that is poorly lit ((done)) Oct 30 20:52:56 * Morgan listens for a moment before moving along it Oct 30 20:53:51 *It is quiet, but it looks like he might have been held quite far from anywhere else Oct 30 20:54:31 * Morgan makes his way along it, looking for a door and keeping an eye out for water Oct 30 20:55:39 *He passes no doors, but eventually turns a corner in the plain corridor where he can see an exit at a distance Oct 30 20:56:57 * Morgan looks around suspiciously Oct 30 20:57:19 *the corridor is empty. **He can see the gate, it's sunset outside it. But before that there is a room to one side, and he hears a man talk in Eisen M: So what do you call this then? A woman replies in Ussuran. Morgan speaks the language passably, but the word is unfamiliar “We call it a ~Xep~” Oct 30 20:58:40 * Morgan stops, listening Oct 30 20:59:06 *Two men chuckle* Oh yeah? Xep is cock… What about a wank? *Morgan doesn't know this word either, but the tone is crude* Oct 30 21:01:59 * Morgan frowns, moving closer toward the exit Oct 30 21:02:14 Woman, again in Ussuran: When you go up and down it's called ~drochit~. Oct 30 21:03:40 *The two men laugh again. It doesn’t sound like there’s anyone else in the room with them, but he’s going to need to pass the doorway Oct 30 21:05:39 * Morgan moves quietly past it Oct 30 21:06:21 *the movement must alert the man in there, because he shouts “Hey, Commander Freyermut, wanna see this Shlyukha drochit my Xep?” He chuckles. Morgan does know the word for Whore though. Oct 30 21:07:14 * Morgan starts moving quickly toward the exit Oct 30 21:07:28 M: Your loss! Maybe she'll do yours when you get back! Oct 30 21:07:54 * Morgan heads for the exit Oct 30 21:08:01 *he gets outside. The air is cold, but unfortunately there's no snow on the ground.* Oct 30 21:08:33 * Morgan heads out of the gate, looking for cover to get his bearings Oct 30 21:09:27 *He sees a suitable bush nearby, but also two sentries. One is lighting a cigar, the other pissing. Both have their backs to him Oct 30 21:10:24 * Morgan creeps toward the bush Oct 30 21:10:44 *he manages this without being caught. The sky is gorgeous, pinks and reds, purples and blues. He can find west immediately by the spot the sun has set in* Oct 30 21:12:02 * Morgan heads that way quietly Oct 30 21:12:10 *There's a strong salty breeze from the south, crisp and fresh, so much better than the stale, bad tasting air of his captivity. The combination of that scent with the sun in the west means he's almost certainly on the north coast of the Great River, which means Montaigne, Eisen, or Ussura* Oct 30 21:12:55 * Morgan works on putting some distance between him and the camp Oct 30 21:13:56 *He doesn't see any patrols. The building is surprisingly small, the land is rough and hilly, but wooded enough that he will have cover. He sees no farmland, but he's rapidly losing the light. The pain in his side is approaching agony now that he’s moving, the hunger disturbingly absent, but the thirst… Oct 30 21:14:39 * Morgan looks around trying to locate water Oct 30 21:15:10 **He sees and hears no sign of any. He'd choose to be stabbed ten times rather than the thirst that makes him want to tear at his own tongue. If he thought there was any hope that he could piss, he'd possibly even drink that. HH would laugh at Morgan drinking his own piss to rescue him, for sure. Oct 30 21:15:55 * Morgan swears, looking for fruit trees Oct 30 21:17:25 *He doesn’t see anything that is still growing at this time of year. He's probably going to have to patch up and then rest, but first a little more distance, then food and water. His mouth is so dry that his tongue feels rug-like, his lips cracked and sore. He tramps through the trees, grateful at least that the signs of wind and sky means it's not the Schwarzenwald. Oct 30 21:18:52 * Morgan keeps moving, putting distance behind him Oct 30 21:19:08 **the walking is so tiring, his body achy and running on empty. He constantly has one desperate ear out for running water. He finds a decent dense corpse of trees where rest would be possible* Oct 30 21:19:42 * Morgan sets about getting it suitable before looking to patch himself up Oct 30 21:20:10 *He’s doing this when he suddenly hears a noise from further into it* Oct 30 21:20:37 * Morgan stops utterly still Oct 30 21:20:48 *it sounds like a person, a woman even, making a dazed sort of groan, followed by her saying in Eisen* Oh… okay… where the fuck are we? Do I have a Lantern? Ah yes… *there's a little bit of light up ahead, low but unmissable* Oct 30 21:22:33 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) Oct 30 21:24:03 * Molly has quit (Read error: EOF from client)
