	<arkhonII>	Yo
	<dkap>	Yo Yo.
	<meiglan>	yo yo
[20:13]	<dkap>	Yosarian?
	<arkhonII>	Here until 10:30, then back at 11:15, perhaps even a bit sooner(not much singing to do tonight)
	<Cagliostro>	ahoyhoy
	<Spot>	I has exciting phone!
	<Cagliostro>	sorry about last week; zoned again.
	<arkhonII>	What phone?
	* Spot	has a blackberry curve.
	<dkap>	You have an exciting phone?
	<arkhonII>	Aha!
	<dkap>	Ahh ... most delightful.
	* Spot	loves her phone
	<dkap>	Longtime?
	<dkap>	grin
[20:14]	<arkhonII>	snort
	<meiglan>	I will live forever or die in the attempt.
	<dkap>	So ... no shit, there we were ... wait, wrong game.
	<meiglan>	talk about your phone sex.
	<arkhonII>	THat's Omega. :)
	<dkap>	Indeed. I should run that, again, sometime soon.
	<arkhonII>	Oh hells yes.
	<dkap>	Oh, Mike, it looks like Rabbit will be occupying Eric's old room come October ...
[20:15]	<arkhonII>	Awesome! How is she? All done with interning, I assume?
	<dkap>	She's been a full Vet for more than a year now. She is just changing practices, to something closer to civilization, rather than an hour north of Derry.
	<arkhonII>	LOL
[20:16]	<arkhonII>	Got it.
	<dkap>	grin
	<meiglan>	HEYYYY nothing wrong with living in the boondocks!
	<dkap>	Nothing wrong with living there, but working there? She is a small individual, and those farm animals come in awful large sizes ...
[20:17]	<arkhonII>	Ahh, so she deals with large animals primarily?
	<dkap>	She deals with whatever is brought into the Vet that she's working for, one would presume.
[20:18]		She specialized in exotics, back in University, though.
		Birds, snakes, rats ...
	<arkhonII>	Gotcha.
		Makes sense.
		And in Derry...naturally...
[20:19]	<dkap>	Typing of such ... when last we left our poor Caelin, he was dealing with Dopplegangers, right?
	<arkhonII>	Yes, as I recall.
	<dkap>	(Exotics ... well ... it was a touch of a stretch ...)
	<arkhonII>	It's been a while.
	<arkhonII>	LOL
	<dkap>	Wow ... someone just peeled away from the traffic light at close to 60, as far as I can tell. I really want to have his baby.
[20:20]	<dkap>	The purple lights under his car really clinch it.
	<arkhonII>	snerk
	<meiglan>	sounds like every woman's dream.
[20:22]	<arkhonII>	I believe we had just neutralized the Thelbane camp of Dopplegangers.
[20:23]	<dkap>	And had seen them scatter.
[20:24]		With some unfortunate recognizable individuals in there.
		Thankfully the rings didn't seem to replicate.
	<arkhonII>	Yes. The ones that didn't scatter fast enough were engaged by the Ifrit.
	<dkap>	Well ... if I recall correctly, your cleanup was at 100%
	<arkhonII>	Yes. Just concluded.
	<dkap>	But you did suffer some Ifrit losses on your side.
[20:25]	<arkhonII>	Eep!
	<dkap>	Indeed.
	<arkhonII>	How many? I think I had all of two, yes? Or were there more? Or are two all I have left?
	<dkap>	The dopplegangers seemed to have at least some measure of the power of those they replicated.
		You lost half your force.
		(one of them)
	<arkhonII>	Got it.
[20:26]		Now, how is the last Ifrit?
		In need of healing now?
[20:27]	<dkap>	Hard to tell. No _obvious_ complaints. Just picking up the pieces of the other one, to be returned to the Great Maker.
[20:28]	<arkhonII>	"Shall we have you report your findings to Cagliostro now, if possible?"
[20:29]	<arkhonII>	(And MAndor is still present, yes?)
[20:30]	<dkap>	Mandor is, indeed, directing the cleanup.
[20:31]	<dkap>	Ifrit: When I return the bits, I will return a report, as well.
[20:32]	<arkhonII>	"Good. He needs to know this new development as soon as possible."
		"And by the way, thank you. You and your companion fought well."
[20:34]		Head over to Mandor. Are his hands full or is he accessible?
[20:38]	<dkap>	Both.
	<arkhonII>	:me bows to Mandor.
[20:39]		(Crap. Forgot I'm on IRC and not Fugue. :) )
		"Lord Mandor, would you know if any other nests of these dopplegangers has been uncovered?"
[20:40]	* dkap	watches Caelin blow his :me
	<arkhonII>	(heh)
	<dkap>	Mandor: Being that you just introduced me to this one, I will be sure to investigate, but ... this is as new to me as it is to you, good sir, or possibly ... newer?
	<dkap>	Mandor: What more do you know about these that you have yet to tell me?
[20:41]	* arkhonII	nods. "For once, I am forced to agree."
	<arkhonII>	"Well, how many skies ago did you leave Thelbane before your return just now?"
[20:42]	<arkhonII>	"For all we know, these impostors could have been in place during the last council."
[20:45]	<dkap>	Mandor: I've been in and out of Thelbane quite a bit, lately. Something about dealing with Curfew cases.
[20:46]		But I had not noticed anything ... off ... until you asked for my assistance in this.
		Although, I do recall, at the last council, everyone was wearing their badge of office, rings, wands, scepters, the like.
	<arkhonII>	"I do recall concern of...my mother's arrival...coming soon after the council meeting. Not even moments after adjourning. Loss of house members began to occur soon afterward."
[20:47]		"True. But somehow this nest came to exist in Thelbane and set up shop."
[20:48]		"Could they have gotten in without cooperation from the inside?"
[20:49]	<dkap>	(The nest was outside, and just had replicants passing in and out ...)
[20:50]	<arkhonII>	(gah...retcon that last question then)
[20:51]	<arkhonII>	(Rather, the setting up in Thelbane part)
[20:52]	<dkap>	Indeed. I had to check my notes as well.
[20:53]	<dkap>	The conflict was in the open, in public, outside Thelbane, just past where most of the ways come in. And, since, most people in Chaos don't look behind them ... since that's not necessarily where they came from.
[20:54]	<arkhonII>	"And their appearance seems a bit too perfect to dismiss any relevance with the current invasion, which has seen a great many housemembers kidnapped from every fortification."
[20:55]	<dkap>	Indeed, one has to presume they are connected.
[20:57]	<arkhonII>	"Speaking of which...several points..."
		"First, I have no idea if any other houses or guilds have been so decimated."
[20:58]		"Second, should we set up a strike team to see about getting house members back? Among them is the general of my forces, Benedict."
	<dkap>	... And third?
[20:59]	<arkhonII>	"Who is left that we can trust? House heads, guild heads? I am concerned we're all that's left."
[21:01]	<dkap>	House and guild heads should be identifyable. And they should be able to identify their members.
[21:04]	<arkhonII>	"Great. Next problem. If this is merely an attack on House Moonlight(which just happens to threaten all of reality in the process), what cooperation can be expected of other house and guild heads?"
[21:05]		"I think I already know the answer to that one, and it scares me."
[21:08]		"What is your take on all this?"
[21:09]	<dkap>	Mandor: Well ... do you have any allies, or ties to pull upon?
[21:11]	<arkhonII>	"Who haven't been captured for certain? Princess Chandra, perhaps a realms master or two since I've run favors for them..."
[21:13]	<dkap>	Mandor quirks an eyebrow.
[21:14]	<arkhonII>	"Er...I consider you an ally, yes. My apologies."
	<dkap>	Mandor: Perhaps, you can declare your mother as your dueling representative ... and see the attrition that way?
[21:15]	<dkap>	Mandor: One would hope I am your ally in this.
	<arkhonII>	"I...may be Head of House...but would you not see that as overstepping your authority if you were in my shape?"
[21:16]		"Still, something I won't rule out, if only because YOU have suggested it."
		"Rather, I will strongly consider. Still, I should consult with her first."
[21:17]	<dkap>	Mandor: Consult with her? I thought the whole point of such an operation would be either to remove her as a threat to you, or to, at least, have someone else do the work of flushing her out of hiding.
[21:18]	* arkhonII	blinks at Mandor. "Avant guarde, to be sure...but genius. Remind me NEVER to be your political adversary."
[21:19]	<arkhonII>	"And the shadow she casts is fathoms deeper than even Zorro, who is believed to be missing."
[21:22]	<arkhonII>	(Time to go to warmup...will be back soon. You can run someone else in themeantime)
[21:23]	<dkap>	Indeed. Sing well!
		(and a nice hook to hang you on, as well ...)
		So, to turn the focus, back, through the mists of time.
[21:24]		Spot, you were busy negotiating with Delna, Cagliostro, and Meiglan to stay locally, for some sort of growth excuse ...
[21:25]	\|<--	arkhonII has left irc.gamesurge.net (Read error: Operation timed out)
[21:26]	<Spot>	Yes I was.
	<dkap>	Excellent. I'll have to puppet Delna for the moment ... but ...
	<Spot>	Delna had said she needed to think about it, I think.
	<dkap>	(So we might need to ret-con a touch.)
[21:27]	<dkap>	Indeed. And you had decided, after Eric's judgment on the outcome of his vs Cagliostro's conflict, not to raise it to the "problem" level, right?
[21:29]	* Spot	nods
[21:31]	<dkap>	Right then, I believe you were going to make an orderly retreat, allow the Vamps to do the same, and see about strengthening your hold over your new pack?
	<Spot>	that is perfect
[21:32]	<dkap>	Good good. I believe Eric is going to go with you.
	<Spot>	....really?
[21:33]	<dkap>	Indeed.
	<Spot>	Well I'm not entirely sure where we are going.
[21:34]		But Eric can come along.
		He's bad-ass. :)
	<dkap>	grin
[21:37]	<Spot>	So I will allow the vamps to deliberate.
	* Spot	grins.
[21:38]	<Spot>	And we'll find a nice spot of somewhere to hole up in.
[21:39]	<Cagliostro>	Cagliostro had some ideas of where to put them, I think
		someplace nondescript
[21:40]		and sturdy ;)
[21:41]	<meiglan>	Meiglan votes for keeping them around. She likes her little furball plus, at least if the Puppies are around they can be kept an eye on. Not so easy if they are far away.
[21:44]	<dkap>	So ... as people separate ... the camera follows that of the Woofs.
[21:45]		As the woofs have begun to move to where the Count has suggested they go, during the deliberations ...
		(Which is where?)
[21:50]		Hello? Did I drop connection?
[21:51]	<meiglan>	(I'm still here)
	<Spot>	No you are here
		I don't know about where we're going, if Cagliostro has a place, then..
		I was waiting on him
	<dkap>	Right ... Presume place (he might have become distracted ...)
[21:52]	<Cagliostro>	no place in particular
	<Cagliostro>	not immediately near the castle
	-->\|	arkhonII (~arkhon@adsl-75-37-29-121.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) has joined #dkap_amber
	<Cagliostro>	somewhere in the vague area
	<Cagliostro>	~200 miles away, say
	* Spot	frowns.
[21:53]	<Spot>	Okay, a place with rooms and furnishings and a view?
[21:54]	<Cagliostro>	yes, definitely
		probably a bit isolated
		several bedrooms, a bit run down, quaint but liveable
[21:55]	<Spot>	We can handle that.
[21:56]	<dkap>	You gate in there ... and just as the gate is about to close Delna turns to Meiglan and asks if said individual would be willing to accompany the Pack, since there seems to be a connection between them.
[21:58]	<Spot>	aigh
	<meiglan>	Meiglan looks at the furball..(player has forgotten name. Why don't you go with them for now. You're not so far away.
	<Spot>	I have to go, my husband yet again does not have a ride to club.
	* Spot	grrrs.
[21:59]	=-=	Spot is now known as SpotAFK
[22:04]	<SpotAFK>	Or...not
	=-=	SpotAFK is now known as Spot
	* Spot	would appreciate her husband making up his mind
[22:08]	<dkap>	Oh?
	<dkap>	A mind is a horrible thing to waste.
	<arkhonII>	Heh
	* Spot	sighs.
	<Spot>	one...more...moment.
[22:17]	\|<--	arkhonII has left irc.gamesurge.net (Ping timeout)
[22:22]	<Spot>	Okay
	<Spot>	Now I believe I am back
[22:23]	<dkap>	Do we believe you are back?
	<Spot>	That I can't answer for you

	<meiglan>	I'm inclined to believe
[22:26]	<Spot>	Well good.
	<Spot>	It's nice to be believed in. :)
	<meiglan>	I think I'm supposed to clap my hands too....
[22:27]	<Spot>	lol
[22:48]	<dkap>	Right ... I'm calling game here, to finish off my in-person player.
		finish up, not off.
		Sorry, slip of the tongue.
[22:50]	<Cagliostro>	six of one...
	<dkap>	Often.
[22:51]	<Spot>	lol
		all right.
[22:52]		sorry about disappearing partway in
	<--\|	Spot has left #dkap_amber
	<dkap>	It happens.
	<dkap>	And now she is gone.
[22:54]	<meiglan>	no killings!
	<dkap>	Yes, yay!
[22:55]	<meiglan>	I should get going too, 5:30 comes terribly early in the morning.
	<dkap>	It does.
