(08:00:12 PM) The topic for #dkap_amber is: Game as usual, logs at https://www.train-wreck.org/~dkap/Amber/logs wiki-wiki at: https://www.rebel.org/wiki/
(08:00:17 PM) Caelin: Not all of it. I'm not MOVING to NC. Just going there for a week.
(08:00:37 PM) Caelin: ANd stopping to visit relatives and friends at points between here and there.

(08:01:30 PM) Caelin: Right on schedule, monsieur GM.
(08:01:40 PM) Auricle: hi there
(08:01:50 PM) dkap: Hihi!
(08:03:42 PM) dkap: We might not have Jean, this week again.
(08:03:48 PM) Caelin: *nod*
(08:04:57 PM) Auricle: okay
(08:05:00 PM) dkap: So a moment while I check where we left off.
(08:05:13 PM) Caelin: Heh
(08:09:34 PM) dkap: I believe, Auricle, you were confronting Dworkin, the Unicorn, and the Pattern, right?
(08:09:44 PM) dkap: And Caelin, you had stepped into the look-far?
(08:09:50 PM) Caelin: Yes.
(08:09:56 PM) Auricle: Yes.
(08:09:59 PM) Caelin: Getting ready to set sail.
(08:10:21 PM) Auricle: Not sure 'confront' is the right word
(08:10:42 PM) dkap: Confound?
(08:10:52 PM) Auricle: possibly
(08:11:13 PM) Auricle: :)
(08:14:30 PM) dkap: So ... Who is up first?
(08:14:34 PM) dkap: Any time constraints?
(08:14:44 PM) Caelin: Not for me tonight.
(08:15:57 PM) Auricle: Just my normal fall over asleep time
(08:16:24 PM) dkap: Gotcha. So ... Shall we say Auricle first, so Mike can make dinner?
(08:16:28 PM) dkap: *grin*
(08:16:32 PM) Auricle: K
(08:17:04 PM) Caelin: Ha! I'm just making dessert, but that will work.
(08:17:39 PM) dkap: Right.
(08:18:37 PM) dkap: So, I believe that Auricle was asking Dworkin to explain connection, instead of verify it.
(08:18:49 PM) Auricle: Yes.
(08:18:57 PM) Auricle: Because he was concerned I'd made one.
(08:19:29 PM) dkap: Well ... not concerned as much as wondering if you did, and what effect it might have ...
(08:19:46 PM) Auricle: I still need to know what one is.
(08:20:44 PM) dkap: Ahh ... then you will have to ask in a way he can understand, because ... well ... he's Dworkin.
(08:21:41 PM) Auricle: "Right. So...connection...is what? Between what? Does what?"
(08:23:51 PM) dkap: Dworkin: "A connection, of course, between things."
(08:24:16 PM) Auricle: "And why did you wonder if I'd made one and go check?"
(08:25:57 PM) dkap: Dworkin: because that might explain the state of things you described, and checking was, perhaps, not wise of me.
(08:26:39 PM) Auricle: "Is a connection good or bad? Because you sound worried."
(08:27:46 PM) dkap: Dworkin: I had thought that you had managed to connect, in a way I could not detect ...
(08:28:16 PM) Auricle: "To what? The Pattern? Reality?"
(08:28:32 PM) dkap: Dworkin: No, between.
(08:28:47 PM) dkap: Dworkin: A connection is always between.
(08:29:06 PM) dkap: Dworkin: Not to, but ... hrm ... do you have an olive? I'll try to show you.
(08:29:57 PM) Auricle: "Such as why I managed a portal between The City Under Kolvir and The Tower Where D Was Imprisoned. A connection, between those two places."
(08:31:08 PM) Auricle: "Do you want to see what it looked like? We got a good map of the energy flow and such."
(08:32:31 PM) dkap: Dworkin: Sure.
(08:32:36 PM) dkap: Seeing would be good.
(08:33:00 PM) Auricle: Gargoyle: Projection, please? Visible to room.
(08:35:19 PM) dkap: The Unicorn snorts at the projection, and steps back a pace.
(08:35:26 PM) dkap: Dworkin seems unworried by it.
(08:35:40 PM) dkap: Starts calling out refinements, and focuses, and shaking his head.
(08:36:47 PM) Auricle: "Is that a shake of 'not a connection' or a shake of 'we're all doomed?'"
(08:38:04 PM) dkap: Dworkin: A shake of trying to figure out how your and your gargoyle's mind works.
(08:39:09 PM) ***Auricle tilts her head, looking completely bemused.
(08:39:53 PM) Auricle: "Just fine, thank you."
(08:40:47 PM) dkap: Dworkin: fine for you, but not necessarily for ... well ... me for example.
(08:42:18 PM) Auricle: "Well, we aren't the same person, so that makes sense."
(08:42:48 PM) ***Auricle blinks.
(08:43:25 PM) Auricle: "A connection is between things. Like the Trump. Creates a connection between things. And the pool is glowing blue like Pattern and cold as trump. Did I turn the reflecting pool into a trump?"
(08:44:31 PM) dkap: Dworkin: not being the same person doesn't make it ... difficult to us communicate, by wrapping around thoughts, some of us communicate quite nicely.
(08:46:36 PM) Auricle: Gargoyle: Possibility the pool now acts like Trump?
(08:47:10 PM) dkap: Garoyle: Indications in the negative, were you capable of connecting to Chef D, by laying your hand on it and concentrating?
(08:48:35 PM) Auricle: Gargoyle: I didn't try after it starting glowing; Just when I tried the PAttern lense.
(08:50:27 PM) dkap: Gargoyle: Perhaps, then, a test is indicated?
(08:51:26 PM) Auricle: Gargoyle: Yes.
(08:52:07 PM) Auricle: "I need to go test a theory. I'll be right back."
(08:52:31 PM) dkap: Dworkin: First, before you go, you mentioned something about difficulty getting here?
(08:52:51 PM) ***Auricle stops.
(08:53:20 PM) Auricle: "Oh, right, getting here." She looks around. "It was further away the closer I got. I had to try to leave to get here."
(08:54:16 PM) dkap: Dworkin: Hrm ... then the unreachable seemed to effect you, which it shouldn't have, because you are already attuned to the pattern.
(08:54:43 PM) dkap: Dworkin: Or maybe ... hrm ... maybe since your attunement is after mine, it just works for attunements after mine?
(08:54:59 PM) Auricle: "I attuned first; I walked it before you."
(08:55:04 PM) Auricle: "Well, this one."
(08:55:50 PM) ***Auricle makes a patting motion towards the Pattern, forgetting it is on the ground. Like you would pat a puppy on the head, like a pet.
(08:56:44 PM) dkap: Yes, that makes sense. *grin*
(08:57:26 PM) dkap: Dworkin: So, would you step over to this column? If you can pass through it, then the defense shouldn't work for you, but if you can't ... we can try the next step.
(08:58:02 PM) ***Auricle tries to walk through the column without shapeshifting automatically, which is kinda hard.
(08:59:32 PM) Auricle: (Kris waits to walk into the column. She has a theory)
(08:59:44 PM) dkap: You get about halfway through, like swimming through a very viscous medium, and then there is a click, and you pass through the rest of it, unbothered.
(09:00:02 PM) dkap: Gargoyle: Shapshifting 0% during passage.
(09:00:03 PM) Auricle: (There goes that theory)
(09:00:28 PM) dkap: Dworkin looks somewhat uncomfortable for a moment.
(09:00:42 PM) Auricle: "Ta-da!"
(09:00:50 PM) ***Auricle bows.
(09:01:47 PM) dkap: Dworkin: That ... umm ... adjusted it. Properly I suspect.
(09:02:06 PM) Auricle: "The click?"
(09:02:11 PM) dkap: Yes
(09:02:18 PM) Auricle: "Excellent."
(09:02:38 PM) dkap: Now it should work for you.
(09:02:45 PM) Auricle: "Great."
(09:02:52 PM) ***Auricle looks confused for a moment.
(09:02:57 PM) Auricle: "What should work for me?"
(09:03:16 PM) dkap: Garogoyle: Returning below to test the trumpiness of the pool.
(09:03:31 PM) Auricle: "Ah! Yes. Thank you."
(09:04:26 PM) ***Auricle turns into flying!creature and heads back under Kolvir, having never managed to actually look at the Pattern, which I think is why I came up here in the first place. :)
(09:04:29 PM) dkap: Dworking: looking somewhat confused 'For what?"
(09:04:44 PM) dkap: Well ... to look in on Dworkin as well ...
(09:04:53 PM) Auricle: TRuth, that.
(09:05:08 PM) Auricle: Okay, let me go make tea and popcorn, I am hungry and thirsty.
(09:05:25 PM) dkap: Right ... MIke? You back?
(09:05:36 PM) dkap: Mmm ... popcorn.
(09:06:08 PM) Caelin: Here. Hang on...still making dessert. Like 5 minutes.
(09:06:20 PM) dkap: Not a problem ... I'm running back-story as well ...
(09:17:34 PM) Caelin: Here now.
(09:23:03 PM) Auricle: And I'm back
(09:23:11 PM) Caelin: cool
(09:24:03 PM) dkap: Sorry, still doing back-story.
(09:24:25 PM) Caelin: Not a problem.
(09:25:22 PM) Auricle: Tis okay
(09:28:40 PM) dkap: Hey Mike, if you could, a moment down here?
(09:28:56 PM) Caelin: On my way.
(10:43:18 PM) dkap: Quote of the moment "Don't blow up the veil."
(10:46:20 PM) Auricle: Heee
(10:51:05 PM) Auricle: Okay, I'm going to bed.....More game next week
(10:52:07 PM) Auricle left the room (quit: Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.77 [SeaMonkey 1.0.1/2006040400]).
(11:45:20 PM) dkap: We leave Caelin, in Zoro's lab, not touching the goo, and contemplating how to get Laetatio out.
(11:45:41 PM) dkap: We leave Anise walking with Flora to meet Princess Chandra.
(11:49:19 PM) Caelin left the room.
(11:52:53 PM) dkap: A quick note to selves, Caelin and Natasha came upon Anise at the same time as they came upon the lookfar. Discussion happened, she was invited along with them.
(11:53:20 PM) dkap: They fractal walked, and shape-shifting was discussed. Doom was detected, and the lookfar's path trusted.
(11:53:45 PM) dkap: Anise gave them a boost in travel, and Caelin (of course) got lost, going from Yeti to Chandroid form.
(11:54:02 PM) dkap: Darkstar and proof of a trap to the rescue.
(11:54:47 PM) dkap: Back to the boat, and Flora contacted to bail them out.
(11:55:21 PM) dkap: Darkover bound, and then a brief fractal walk to Moonlight.
(11:55:52 PM) dkap: Discussions with Zorro's assistant, and discussions with Sparrowhawk, about the doom on the horizon.
(11:56:50 PM) dkap: Anise is introduced to Phaedra, the most recent Journeyman in the Shifters guild. Some discussion about Phaedra's shape takes place.
(11:57:22 PM) dkap: Flora takes Anise off to meet with Princess Chandra, and inform her of what Sparrowhawk fears has come about.
(11:58:03 PM) dkap: Caelin descends to deal with the stuck Laetatio, and his horse, in the goo.
(11:58:12 PM) dkap: In Zorro's lab.
(11:58:37 PM) dkap: Dom Serioli comes out to see if there is anything he can detects, alas, no clues.
(11:58:48 PM) dkap: Zorro himself seems otherwise occupied.
(11:59:56 PM) dkap: Until next week, true believers, stay tuned, same Cat time, same Rainbow channel, for the continuing adventures of ... Amber
