(02:18:19 PM) dkap: Lars, Joy, Sandi on top of wooden statues, each their own, Sandi's on fire.
(02:18:48 PM) dkap: Apparently something else that Phil did, came out badly.
(08:09:50 PM) The topic for #dkap_amber is: Game run, as normal, update on the vote, it was 88 to 41, so it passed by 6 votes.
(08:09:58 PM) Auricle: awww cute
(08:10:02 PM) Cagliostro: yay boxes and happy cats, yay gm
(08:12:03 PM) Auricle: omg kitten is attempting to destroy house.
(08:12:10 PM) Auricle: hi dkap!
(08:14:03 PM) dkap: I don't know if we are getting Mike tonight.
(08:14:49 PM) Auricle: Okay.
(08:15:07 PM) Auricle: I might lose connection abruptly -- we have severe thunderstorm warnings and a tornado watch.
(08:15:19 PM) dkap: Blearg!
(08:15:22 PM) dkap: I wonder if we do as well.
(08:15:43 PM) dkap: (I know parts of Arlington lost power last night. Apparently all the airconditioners blew their circuits.)
(08:17:55 PM) Cagliostro: thunderstorms
(08:17:59 PM) Cagliostro: we'll see what else happens
(08:18:11 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(08:18:17 PM) dkap: Kracathoom!
(08:18:20 PM) Auricle: So anyways, there is my potential weather warning.
(08:19:55 PM) dkap: Right. If you disappear suddenly, we'll presume that the strike blew you across the room.
(08:21:56 PM) dkap: So ... when we closed down, I was doing math, and forgot to count Norton's vote.
(08:22:05 PM) dkap: So the measure passed only by 6 votes ...
(08:23:52 PM) Cagliostro: what did we think had happened last time?
(08:25:09 PM) dkap: It was 88 to 33, because I forgot Norton's vote was tied to Mandor's
(08:25:25 PM) Cagliostro: ah, okay
(08:28:38 PM) dkap: So ... last I checked, Auricle was tasting Jean's blood, and you were contemplating finding either Bast or Beaucephalous to help the Horse become more horse.
(08:28:54 PM) Cagliostro: yep
(08:29:09 PM) Cagliostro is now known as Jean
(08:29:10 PM) Auricle: Indeed, Auricle is going, "Ooh, look Pattern is it mine?" at the blood.
(08:29:11 PM) Jean: rather, "Yep"
(08:30:39 PM) dkap: And the answer is ... no, not your pattern, Dworkin's pattern (or the old Tir pattern).
(08:31:47 PM) Auricle: As I thought...if it's the old Tir pattern, though, it loves me. :)
(08:32:28 PM) dkap: it does.
(08:32:56 PM) dkap: Oh, bloody hell ... I need a moment or two. A phone call about my arrangements for work on Thursday/Friday.
(08:33:05 PM) Auricle: Now to figure out how to get the gargoyle to store the two different for comparisions, it was having problems doing that with the Corwin pattern....right! Upgrading the gargoyle!
(08:33:17 PM) Auricle: NP, we'll go back to kitty porn....
(08:37:21 PM) Jean: http://icanhascheezburger.com/2008/06/10/funny-pictures-escape-plan-status-fail/
(08:41:17 PM) dkap: http://icanhascheezburger.com/2008/06/10/funny-pictures-till-it-fills-the-pan/
(08:41:55 PM) dkap: Sorry ... couldn't resist.
(08:42:01 PM) dkap: I had a cat like that, once ...
(08:42:21 PM) dkap: (or, possibly two cats, we weren't sure where the mass-breakdown caused it's count to be multiple.
(08:42:55 PM) dkap: This heat reminds me of a day at Pennsic, when it was intolerably hot.
(08:43:09 PM) Jean: yeah, my mom's cat is about twenty pounds, but none of it's fat
(08:43:38 PM) Jean: he was sufficiently offended once while getting his shots that he slapped the vet's hand so hard the vet stabbed himselfwith the needle
(08:43:44 PM) Jean: (he gets his shots while inside his carrier now)
(08:44:07 PM) dkap: One of the attending ladies decided to prove a point, and went over to one of the knights lying down (in the full sunlight, of course, because he was stupid and didn't seek the shade) and so she cracked an egg on his helm, and, lo, it did cook.
(08:45:05 PM) Auricle: eeek
(08:45:16 PM) Jean: ick. yes,it's hot.
(08:45:17 PM) dkap: I wonder how big a solar panel one would need to be able to take advantage of the peltzier effect in one's armor.
(08:45:22 PM) Jean: supposed to be better tomorrow.
(08:46:12 PM) dkap: Right ... Stupid people. I'm all arranged for Thursday and Friday.
(08:46:38 PM) dkap: And the arrangements are ... believe it or not, exactly what they were _before_ the phone call ... *sigh*
(08:46:59 PM) Auricle: heh
(08:48:03 PM) dkap: But, apparently, everyone had to pee on it, so they felt they owned the process, or some silly managerial phrase along those lines.
(08:48:15 PM) dkap: Tasty blood. Who are you going to seek first?
(08:50:09 PM) ***Auricle carefully turns part of herself into a little vial coalescing around the blood, then places it inside herself for future comparision.
(08:50:12 PM) Jean: Jean is leaning toward Bucephalus.
(08:50:20 PM) Jean: since he's fairly oblivious to the blood.
(08:51:24 PM) dkap: Indeed, and you know where you saw him last, at that restaurant halfway up the cliffwall.
(08:51:38 PM) Jean: yep.
(08:52:00 PM) Jean: kmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
(08:52:05 PM) dkap: Any particular leave-taking of the Flying Woman?
(08:52:07 PM) Jean: (sorry, laptop brush)
(08:52:10 PM) dkap: Hi kitty.
(08:52:45 PM) Jean: I have something in my laptop keyboard - I moved it from the j key to the m to the space bar. it got worse. seems to be resolved now. for now (dum dum dum!)
(08:53:15 PM) Jean: I think flying woman is probably not really in Jean's short-term memory at the moment
(08:53:27 PM) Auricle: Yeah, Auricle forgot her too.
(08:53:34 PM) Auricle: She was boring, didn't want to answer questions.
(08:53:57 PM) Auricle: (My god, Jean, it's amazing we accomplish anything.)
(08:54:30 PM) dkap: So, once again confirming the current perception of Amberite Diplomacy, you wander/gallumph/flap/skip off?
(08:55:31 PM) Jean: we -are- amberite diplomats; we ignore people, and don't (usually) kill them.
(08:55:37 PM) Auricle: Well, we do have a problem of a horse.
(08:55:45 PM) Jean: we probably discuss galumphing
(08:55:58 PM) Auricle: Jean's right, that puts us ahead of 99% of the family.
(08:56:24 PM) Jean: I think we're agreed that the horse needs some remedial horseness training.
(08:56:35 PM) Jean: and Jean will suggest bringing the horse to Bucephalus.
(08:56:48 PM) Auricle: "Is the horse going to follow?"
(08:57:39 PM) dkap: The horse, having taken an interest in Chaos Politics, for some reason, having found a Chaos Political Figure is going to follow that particular Chaos Political Figure until something else comes along.
(08:58:05 PM) dkap: Are you doing anything in particular for the 2/3Jager?
(08:58:36 PM) Auricle: Oh, my Jager!
(08:58:44 PM) Auricle: "D, how's the Jager??"
(08:59:02 PM) ***Auricle completely forgets about the horse in favor of the Jager.
(08:59:39 PM) dkap: D: No longer squirting fluids.
(09:00:44 PM) Auricle: "Is he repairable?"
(09:00:53 PM) Auricle: Get next to the Jager and look him over.
(09:01:53 PM) dkap: D has done a credible patch job, but there are missing pieces.
(09:03:51 PM) Auricle: "We'll have to fix him up in the lab. Nice work you've done, though."
(09:04:02 PM) dkap: D: Thank you.
(09:04:13 PM) Auricle: Is he mobile on his own?
(09:04:59 PM) dkap: Well, he's missing one leg and a piece of his torso, so ... he could crawl on his hands and knee ...
(09:05:14 PM) dkap: Or become someone's backpack for a bit ...
(09:05:46 PM) Auricle: "Jean, will the Horse carry him?"
(09:08:06 PM) Jean: "Good question."
(09:08:18 PM) Jean: Dkap: will the horse carry the jager?
(09:08:42 PM) dkap: Sure.
(09:09:04 PM) Jean: all right, saddle him up
(09:09:11 PM) dkap: You can probably talk the Horse into it.
(09:09:19 PM) Jean: well, mount him up, technically. yes, talk the horse into it.
(09:09:33 PM) dkap: You probably have to give him the "gefingerpoken" speech, though.
(09:09:41 PM) Jean: btw, when the horse is sufficiently fixed, I'm planning on inviting him to join House Swayvill.
(09:09:48 PM) Jean: the horse or the jager?
(09:10:01 PM) dkap: The Jager.
(09:10:05 PM) Jean: right.
(09:10:37 PM) Jean: "See those? Those are controls. I have no idea what they do. Don't poke them. Or if you do poke them, keep careful track of what you poked so we can reconstruct it from what's left of your memory."
(09:11:12 PM) Auricle: "Don't poke them."
(09:11:27 PM) Auricle: will reinforce the command a bit.
(09:12:13 PM) dkap: Right ... no gefingerpoken das blinkenlights
(09:13:17 PM) dkap: And then ... you are off?
(09:13:32 PM) Auricle: .....
(09:13:47 PM) Auricle: "Back to the cliff restaurant?"
(09:14:30 PM) dkap: Jager (who ate the rat, earlier): "Gut. Am hongry."
(09:14:49 PM) Jean: I think that will trigger a twinge of politeness in Jean.
(09:15:08 PM) Jean: to the flying lady: "Are you interested in getting something to eat?"
(09:15:09 PM) dkap: another Jager: "Ja, ju alvays hongry."
(09:15:25 PM) dkap: She does a flillip in the air.
(09:15:56 PM) Auricle: "Well, we don't want the Jagers to starve. and I should probably eat. And you" points at D "have probably forgotten to eat too.
(09:16:12 PM) dkap: Winged Lady: "Thank you, no. I take my sustainance from the Land"
(09:16:35 PM) dkap: D: "I am kinda hungry, yes.
(09:16:56 PM) Jean: "Okay, bye. If that jerk shows up again, tell him 'neener neener neener'."
(09:17:07 PM) Auricle: "Ooh, cool, how do you do that?"
(09:17:25 PM) Auricle: "Do you farm it or do you just absorb it or is there some other mechanism?"
(09:17:52 PM) dkap: Winged Lady: "If he does dare set foot on the Land again, he will not have time to despoil it, nor receive messages."
(09:18:40 PM) Jean: "That works too."
(09:18:43 PM) dkap: Winged Lady: "The Land pours it's goodness into me, and I keep it healthy and strong, we are one."
(09:21:32 PM) Auricle left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(09:21:53 PM) Jean: hm.
(09:23:56 PM) Auricle [~chatzilla@pool-72-79-213-223.spfdma.east.verizon.net] entered the room.
(09:24:11 PM) Auricle: OG I swear my system has to crash once per Amber game
(09:24:27 PM) Jean: tradition!
(09:24:34 PM) Auricle: missed anything from the land pouring goodness into winged lady
(09:25:19 PM) dkap: Nope.
(09:26:03 PM) Auricle: "Okay, then, that's....kinda ....hmm. I wonder how the transference actually works. Can you feed?"
(09:28:39 PM) dkap: Winged Lady: "The Land provides."
(09:29:02 PM) Auricle: "Like, right this moment? Or is there a certain ritual you need to do?"
(09:29:27 PM) dkap: Winged Lady: "Always."
(09:30:09 PM) Auricle: Gargoyle: Any energy or matter transference detectable between her and the land?
(09:30:36 PM) dkap: Gargoyle: constantly
(09:31:56 PM) Auricle: Gargoyle: heads-up display?
(09:32:19 PM) dkap: Running image showing her and the land as one.
(09:32:55 PM) dkap: Including the bit of the land inside one of the Jager. (The hungry one.)
(09:33:08 PM) ***Auricle tilts her head slightly. "Okay...nifty."
(09:34:19 PM) Auricle: "Oh! Um, one of my Jagers ate part of your land. Is that a problem?"
(09:34:19 PM) Caelin [~arkhon@65.209.120.239] entered the room.
(09:34:37 PM) Caelin: here now, with some voice left.
(09:34:48 PM) Jean: yay
(09:34:51 PM) dkap: Gargle asprin?
(09:35:15 PM) Caelin: Aspirin bad for cords, so no.
(09:35:21 PM) Caelin: Ricola. Tea.
(09:35:24 PM) Caelin: Not in that order.
(09:35:29 PM) Auricle: Tea!
(09:35:34 PM) Caelin: Oh yes.
(09:35:42 PM) Caelin: Will be having tons of it from now on.
(09:37:37 PM) dkap: Winged Lady: "The Land is the Land, no matter where it might be."
(09:37:59 PM) Caelin: o_O
(09:38:02 PM) Auricle: looks at Jean.
(09:38:04 PM) Caelin: What the hell have I missed?
(09:38:08 PM) Auricle: looks at the winged lady.
(09:38:16 PM) Auricle: "Er, did you want it back?"
(09:38:17 PM) dkap: Not much ... they still haven't gotten off the island.
(09:38:32 PM) dkap: Winged Lady: "It is not gone, how could I get it back?"
(09:38:49 PM) Auricle: (Auricle & Jean: Occaisionally getting somewhere.)
(09:38:52 PM) dkap: Oh and Caelin, I miscounted, as you might have seen from the Topic.
(09:39:03 PM) Auricle: "Um, well, it's about to be gone. From here, anyways. We're leaving."
(09:39:46 PM) Caelin: Got it.
(09:40:00 PM) Caelin: yes, the log says 88-33. 88-41 it is.
(09:42:20 PM) dkap: Once again, you attempt to foray forth?
(09:42:35 PM) Auricle: Winged Lady: "The Land is the Land, no matter where it might be."
(09:42:45 PM) Auricle: looks at Jean.
(09:42:48 PM) dkap: Or do you point out the trade? The Jager bits for the bits the Jager ate?
(09:42:53 PM) Auricle: looks at the winged lady.
(09:43:03 PM) Auricle: Um, well, it's about to be gone. From here, anyways. We're leaving."
(09:44:35 PM) dkap: (She does not seem to have a comment on that.)
(09:46:38 PM) dkap: Oh, no, she just dropped off line for the moment.
(09:46:48 PM) dkap: Winged Lady: "Fair thee well then."
(09:48:00 PM) Auricle: (I hadn't thought about trading....does the Jager bits show up on the headsup display?)
(09:48:06 PM) dkap: Nope.
(09:49:15 PM) Auricle: "Okay then." Gather everyone up and start walking. Nice and easy, no hellride this time.
(09:49:53 PM) dkap: Walk for a bit, and find you really have to "push" to move away from the Land."
(09:51:26 PM) dkap: But move away from the land you do. Where are you walking To?
(09:53:54 PM) Auricle: Heading back to the restaurant on the Side of the Cliff (as opposed to the End of the Universe)
(09:54:26 PM) Auricle: Is the land in the Jager still sending energy 'back' to the winged lady?
(09:54:59 PM) dkap: Hard to tell.\
(09:56:22 PM) Auricle: (Jean & Auricle: Amber's Diplomatic Corps. We're very diplomatic, we haven't killed you.)
(09:57:36 PM) dkap: (Jean and Auricle to the rescue ... eventually ...)
(09:57:47 PM) Auricle: (laugh!)
(09:58:45 PM) dkap: You are back at the Mime Field.
(09:59:15 PM) Auricle: Ick.
(09:59:34 PM) Auricle: Carefully get us through here to somewhere less annoying.
(09:59:46 PM) dkap: You all know not to invade the Mime's invisible boxes by now.
(10:00:16 PM) dkap: It _is_ unusual for you to pass the same shadow twice. It's almost like someone is throwing it in your way, somehow.
(10:01:10 PM) Auricle: Pattern energy levels?
(10:01:23 PM) dkap: Low.
(10:01:38 PM) dkap: (Residual background pattern, if that is a concept)
(10:01:55 PM) Auricle: Hmmm. Look for signs of tampering with the Walk.....
(10:02:07 PM) Auricle: Anything other than hitting the same shadow again?
(10:02:45 PM) dkap: Well, some of the others might have been familiar, but ... the Mime Field stands out in your mind, for some odd and unknown reason.
(10:02:48 PM) dkap: *grin*
(10:03:50 PM) Auricle: start running through the last walk in the gargoyle's memory and compare with the current one looking for similarities.
(10:03:59 PM) ***Auricle stops dead in the middle of the field.
(10:04:02 PM) dkap: Lots of similarities.
(10:05:04 PM) Auricle: Not the formation of a path through Shadow, though, like something is deliberately manipulating?
(10:05:48 PM) dkap: Most definitely the formation of a path through shadow, as if something or someone was deliberately manipulating.
(10:06:00 PM) Auricle: From where to where?
(10:07:19 PM) dkap: You don't know, but you are currently on it, perhaps, again.
(10:08:19 PM) Auricle: Can I sense the path instead of the walk I'm intending?
(10:08:52 PM) ChanServ left the room (quit: *.net *.split).
(10:09:49 PM) ChanServ [ChanServ@Services.GameSurge.net] entered the room.
(10:09:49 PM) mode (+o ChanServ) by Burstfire.UK.EU.GameSurge.net
(10:10:02 PM) dkap: Well ... your walk intersected the path, and is now, once again, following it, and you would presume, break away, once you are closer to your destination.
(10:11:05 PM) Auricle: Okay, walk around one of the mimes (carefully) like I got lost studying it, then walk off again with everyone, except now follow the path like I lost track of what I was doing.
(10:11:49 PM) Auricle: Which, really, isn't far off, since oh look, path, wonder where that goes....
(10:11:49 PM) dkap: Right ...
(10:15:46 PM) Auricle: And as I'm walking, I'm paying attention to the shifts and looking for any signatures signs of active manipulation.
(10:16:17 PM) dkap: Signs of manipulation, yes, but signatures? None, really.
(10:16:30 PM) dkap: Although Gargoyle is catagloging the path, nicely.
(10:16:55 PM) Auricle: hmmm
(10:17:42 PM) Auricle: shrug, follow the nice path, it will lead somewhere, la la la.
(10:19:57 PM) dkap: Follow follow.
(10:20:07 PM) dkap: Meanwhile ... in Chaos ...
(10:20:38 PM) Jean: back at Rancho Thelbane ;)
(10:21:36 PM) ***dkap gently pokes Caelin?
(10:22:00 PM) Caelin: Here.
(10:22:03 PM) Caelin: Sorry.
(10:22:10 PM) Caelin: Was on phone call.
(10:22:22 PM) dkap: Ahh .... should i wait until focusing on you then?
(10:22:24 PM) dkap: *grin*
(10:22:30 PM) Caelin: Nope. I'm off the phone now.
(10:22:35 PM) Caelin: Fire away.
(10:24:01 PM) dkap: As you wish!
(10:24:07 PM) dkap: Fire engulfs the ...
(10:25:02 PM) dkap: Right ... Thelbane + Fire = Bad touch.
(10:27:11 PM) Caelin: It would look bad around the tower.
(10:27:22 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(10:27:30 PM) dkap: So, there was this vote-thingy.
(10:28:37 PM) ***Caelin sighs. "Yes."
(10:29:31 PM) dkap: And Mandor, (and Norton, therefore) and Channicut voted against it, but it still passed.
(10:31:24 PM) dkap: So, now you are going to help set up the "temporary, and probationary" dualing guild.
(10:32:47 PM) dkap: Mandor, looking slightly disgusted, opines "Since we now have a role for those appointed to mind the curfew, we should look at that particular piece of the agenda at this time."
(10:33:14 PM) Caelin: Is there a way to get a personal note to Mandor regarding this vote?
(10:33:51 PM) dkap: Mandor continues with: "Since Chaos has settled down to it's normal level of change, and Max has stepped down as the pillar of Chaos, perhaps, we can decide if we can dispense with the curfew, since it is also getting in the way of chaosian business as usual."
(10:33:53 PM) ***Caelin <----felt cornered on the vote. It doesn't look like it would have passed even if he had voted against it.
(10:33:57 PM) Auricle: We have acheived lightning. Signing off!
(10:34:02 PM) Caelin: Byebye!
(10:34:08 PM) dkap: There is many opportunities to get him a note.
(10:34:14 PM) dkap: Don't fry, Auricle!
(10:34:25 PM) Auricle left the room (quit: Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.77 [SeaMonkey 1.0.1/2006040400]).
(10:35:55 PM) dkap: You can send one by lacky, by your House Second, by folding it up and conveying it to him via magic, by making it appear at his elbow, magically, et al.
(10:36:31 PM) dkap: Although, being Mandor, I would not recommend sending it by bilbliomancy ... *grin*
(10:36:37 PM) Caelin: Using magic at this point would be pretentious, as far as Caelin is concerned.
(10:36:41 PM) Caelin: LOL
(10:36:45 PM) Caelin: No.
(10:38:07 PM) Caelin: Send one to him via house second...
(10:38:07 PM) Caelin: "It was my impression that you had cornered me into pushing this. I felt too many arguments of mine in opposition were undermined. My apologies if this wasn't the case."
(10:39:03 PM) dkap: Note comes back, "Apology accepted."
(10:40:16 PM) dkap: Note changes words "Good luck in the 30 or so duels you will have lined up for you once this goes through."
(10:42:10 PM) dkap: Xartys stands up and replies "There still is that pesky curfew in place?"
(10:42:15 PM) Caelin: Note back to him. "at the worst, I'll be relieved of house head duties, or killed or both. I don't think too many would mourn the loss."
(10:42:57 PM) dkap: Note back "I would mourn the loss."
(10:43:42 PM) ***Caelin raises his eyebrows.
(10:44:29 PM) Caelin: Note to house second and no one else. "Perhaps we should uphold the curfew in hopes of buying extra time?"
(10:44:36 PM) dkap: Mandor nods to you.
(10:45:35 PM) dkap: Archivist, on paper to you: "Perhaps, mentioning the impostors, and the need to clean them up, first, might give us an excuse to hold up the curfew?"
(10:46:07 PM) ***Caelin stands up. "There is still the matter of the curfew police impostors.
(10:46:44 PM) Caelin: "With abuses such as these, the curfew should remain in place until the policing force can be properly certified."
(10:47:23 PM) dkap: Channicuit stands, after you sit, and asks "I have no knowledge of impostors, would those who have had experience with them, present their testimony for me?"
(10:49:25 PM) ***Jean waits for someone else to take the lead.
(10:49:31 PM) ***Caelin stands up. "I and my entire entourage were impeded by impostors in our attempt to attend this very meeting."
(10:50:54 PM) dkap: Corona stands: "We just have your word on that." and abruptly sits.
(10:51:33 PM) ***Caelin looks at Jean. "Might we have testimony confirming from the DAncer's Guild?"
(10:51:36 PM) dkap: Mandor, looking amused says to Caelin "Moonlight, do you recognize Corona, or at least wish to remark on the out-of-order outburst?"
(10:52:53 PM) Jean: "I cannot comment for the guild, but my movements were impeded by people who claimed to be curfew enforcers but did not offer the proper bona fides."
(10:53:13 PM) Jean: "Unfortunately, they could not be interviewed at this point without a bucket, a shovel, and Norton's assistance."
(10:53:31 PM) Caelin: "In reference to the outburst, I do not."
(10:54:12 PM) dkap: Norton stands, and waits to be acknowledged.
(10:54:36 PM) Caelin: "House Moonlight recognizes Norton."
(10:55:50 PM) dkap: Norton: "As much as I would wish to help, I am only the court necromancer for those who are decendant from Dworkin. I'm not up to wrestling souls back from the Serpent."
(10:56:38 PM) ***Caelin looks to Jean. "By any chance, were any of the remains Patternish?"
(10:56:42 PM) dkap: Norton continues with: "But, perhaps, we can ask one of the realms-lords, the Savior Of Chaos himself, to witness for us?"
(10:58:14 PM) dkap: There is a moment of quiet ...
(10:58:41 PM) dkap: Norton continues with: "Or not ... " and sits back down, somewhat confusedly.
(11:01:17 PM) Caelin: "If the Saviour of Chaos is present, he is recognized."
(11:04:05 PM) dkap: Silence ...
(11:05:32 PM) Caelin: "Or if not, we still have the testimony offered from Jean to supplement my own. Will anyone else care to question the veracity with out-of-order outbursts?" Looks directly at House Corona.
(11:06:33 PM) dkap: House Corona stands, and waits to be recognized.
(11:06:57 PM) Caelin: "House Moonlight will now recognize House Corona."
(11:08:05 PM) dkap: Corona; "Not that any house here would doubt the word of such esteemed houses as Moonlight and Swaville, but if you were the only ones to encounter such, is it actually widespread, or simply just your bad luck and misinterpretation of circumstance?"
(11:08:11 PM) dkap: And Corona sits.
(11:09:25 PM) Caelin: "Unfortunately, with the concerning business a bit too well-aimed towards House Moonlight, such a circumstance, chance or well-aimed, cannot be ignored."
(11:10:13 PM) ***Jean indicates a desire for attention from Caelin.
(11:11:07 PM) ***Caelin turns to Jean. "House Moonlight once again recognizes Jean."
(11:12:01 PM) ***Jean rubs his house ring idly while waiting patiently.
(11:13:06 PM) Caelin: "RAther, House Moonlight now recognizes House Swayville."
(11:13:33 PM) Caelin: "You have my sincerest apologies."
(11:13:41 PM) ***Caelin bows.
(11:13:57 PM) ***Jean nods in satisfaction and stands on his chair, returning Caelin's bow. "These things happen. Perhaps the next order of business should be determining how widespread the impostor problem was and is?"
(11:14:29 PM) Caelin: "House Moonlight will second this motion if it is offered."
(11:14:40 PM) Jean: "I so offer."
(11:14:42 PM) ***Jean sits down.
(11:14:49 PM) Caelin: "House Moonlight so seconds."
(11:14:56 PM) dkap: Mandor: Offered and seconded.
(11:15:03 PM) dkap: Mandor: Any opposed?
(11:15:13 PM) ***Caelin sits.
(11:15:23 PM) dkap: Channicuit starts forward and then sits back.
(11:15:45 PM) dkap: Corona stands and waits to be recognized.
(11:15:49 PM) dkap: Mandor: Corona?
(11:16:09 PM) dkap: Corona: "I think it a waste of time."
(11:16:15 PM) dkap: Corona sits.
(11:16:21 PM) dkap: Helgram rises:
(11:16:27 PM) dkap: Mandor: Helgram?
(11:18:38 PM) dkap: Helgram takes a small amount of time to light a cigar, and then offers: "As my esteemed fellow house head has pointed out, it might be a waste of time. On the other hand, being that we, as house-heads should be immune from the hassles of said force, perhaps, we should investigate if, all the missing house-members are, indeed, downstairs, or if some have gone ... further astray."
(11:18:56 PM) dkap: Helgram sits.
(11:19:06 PM) Jean: "Seconded."
(11:19:58 PM) dkap: Mandor: "Any opposition to taking a recess and investigating the holding cells?"
(11:20:12 PM) dkap: Cara stands.
(11:20:17 PM) dkap: Mandor: Cara?
(11:21:06 PM) dkap: Cara: I don't oppose, I simply think we should refresh ourselves first. I'm developing a powerful thurst, and while this might be just a short excursion, I would call for refreshment before embarking.
(11:21:33 PM) dkap: Mandor: Your suggestion will be taken under advisement. Any in _actual_ opposition?
(11:21:34 PM) Caelin: "Seconded."
(11:21:57 PM) Caelin: (oops)
(11:22:01 PM) Caelin: Misread
(11:22:24 PM) dkap: Mandor: Hearing none, I now recess us, for momentary refreshment, and then a trip downstairs.
(11:22:30 PM) dkap: And this might be a good break-point.
(11:22:35 PM) Caelin: Okay.
(11:22:36 PM) Caelin: Cool.
(11:22:40 PM) Caelin: Good night!
(11:22:43 PM) Caelin left the room.
(11:22:51 PM) dkap: That was fast.
(11:23:13 PM) Jean: k
(11:23:15 PM) Jean: yep
(11:23:16 PM) Jean: ;)
(11:23:17 PM) dkap: Until next week?
(11:23:19 PM) Jean: see you next week!
(11:23:22 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(11:23:24 PM) Jean left the room.
