(08:45:17 PM) dkap1: And am I _now_ conencted?
(08:45:23 PM) Delna: Yes
(08:45:27 PM) Delna: We can see you
(08:45:27 PM) dkap1: Hrm ...
(08:45:36 PM) dkap1: Let's see how long that lasts ... *sigh*
(08:46:07 PM) dkap1: Yep. Gone again.

(08:50:10 PM) Caelin: I'm going to wager NO on that one.
(08:51:05 PM) Cagliostro: re
(08:51:23 PM) mode (+o dkap1) by ChanServ
(08:51:26 PM) Delna: Yeah, same result really
(08:51:39 PM) dkap1: I don't know ... I might have succeeded this time.
(08:51:47 PM) Cagliostro: for now.
(08:51:50 PM) dkap1: But only the shadow knows ...
(08:51:55 PM) Cagliostro: so, do you have a google wave account yet?
(08:52:00 PM) dkap1: And it actually Authed me without Kicking me.
(08:52:07 PM) Caelin: Woo!
(08:52:11 PM) dkap1: What's a google wave account?
(08:52:40 PM) Cagliostro: Google has a new product that's like chat and wiki got really drunk and confused one night.
(08:52:52 PM) dkap1: Oh? Cool!
(08:52:53 PM) Caelin: https://wave.google.com/wave/
(08:52:54 PM) Auricle: great description
(08:52:59 PM) Cagliostro: I sent you an invite. We can use it as a fallback once you and Delna signed on.
(08:53:42 PM) dkap1: To which address did you send the invite?
(08:53:49 PM) Cagliostro: dkap@haven.org
(08:53:56 PM) Cagliostro: I can send to another should you so desire
(08:54:07 PM) dkap1: Ahh ... Hrm ... I might have to see if I can convert it to my gmail account. *grin*
(08:54:21 PM) Cagliostro: there is a noticeable lag time between invite sent and received
(08:54:27 PM) Cagliostro: what's the gmail? I'll send another.
(08:55:29 PM) dkap1: mrdkap
(08:55:36 PM) dkap1: (at gmail, of course ... )
(08:56:17 PM) dkap1: And ... it looks like my net dropped again.
(08:56:18 PM) dkap1: *sigh*

(08:57:43 PM) dkap1: Aaaand let's try that again.
(08:57:44 PM) dkap1: *sigh*
(08:57:50 PM) dkap1: mrdkap
(08:58:44 PM) dkap1: Well ... that, I think got through ...
(08:58:47 PM) dkap1: Nope.

(09:01:35 PM) Cagliostro: rehello. re to the power of something.
(09:01:56 PM) dkap1: And you know ... it's only after things stop responding for about 5 minute it tells me I've been typing needlessly into the aether.
(09:02:09 PM) Caelin: Oy!
(09:02:13 PM) Delna: ooh : (
(09:03:04 PM) dkap1: So much fun. I feel like I'm in one of those ... damn, there it goes again.

(09:04:25 PM) Cagliostro: yes, Caelin broke IRC.
(09:04:29 PM) dkap1: Aaaand we are are still pushing that boulder up the mountain.
(09:04:30 PM) Caelin: I own it. Things just haven't been the same since I used three Patterns to destroy the anti-dragons.
(09:04:59 PM) dkap1: So, did my "mrdkap" get through?
(09:05:03 PM) Caelin: Yes.
(09:05:11 PM) dkap1: Excellent.
(09:08:26 PM) dkap1: And then nothing further.

(09:10:06 PM) dkap1: And ping again?
(09:10:12 PM) dkap1: Woot, I might be back ...
(09:10:18 PM) Caelin: Yay
(09:10:20 PM) Caelin: Methinks..
(09:10:23 PM) dkap1: I changed the whole topography of the network. Let's see if this works.
(09:10:34 PM) Caelin: o_O
(09:10:49 PM) dkap1: It's like ripping the pattern out of place and stuffing a new one there, and hoping Auricle wouldn't notice.
(09:11:06 PM) ***Auricle eeps.
(09:11:27 PM) mode (+o dkap1) by ChanServ
(09:11:33 PM) Cagliostro: so where were we?
(09:11:52 PM) ***Auricle goes back to her Pattern and sets up more security, you people worry her.
(09:11:53 PM) Delna: Town meeting from my side I believe
(09:11:58 PM) Cagliostro: Yep, town meeting.
(09:12:00 PM) dkap1: Give me another moment or two to see if this is actually stable, or I'll be typing away to the nether hells again.
(09:12:20 PM) Auricle: spot was pondering eating Kaylee to shut her up from wailing....and then Meiglan and Spot were silly
(09:12:22 PM) Cagliostro: And pre-meeting,discussing the idea of how and whether to try to create new universes, deferred until we can talk to an expert like Verra.
(09:12:45 PM) dkap1: And et a little girl.
(09:12:49 PM) dkap1: Instead.
(09:12:57 PM) Auricle: And ate a small girl.
(09:13:27 PM) dkap1: Thank heavens, for little girls.
(09:13:36 PM) dkap1: They crunch in the most amazing ways.
(09:14:58 PM) Caelin: And they're naturally low in cholesterol.
(09:15:12 PM) Delna: And tasty with Ketchup!
(09:15:32 PM) dkap1: No they are not. Have you _seen_ what they eat nowadays?
(09:19:13 PM) Cagliostro: so, town meeting?
(09:19:45 PM) dkap1: Right ... Town meeting, and pre-meeting activities.
(09:21:50 PM) dkap1: Bloody hell ... Did I disappear again?
(09:21:59 PM) Delna: no
(09:22:35 PM) Caelin: (18:19:42) dkap1: Right ... Town meeting, and pre-meeting activities.
(09:22:35 PM) Caelin: (18:21:47) dkap1: Bloody hell ... Did I disappear again?
(09:22:47 PM) Caelin: Unless there was an interval between these entries...
(09:22:51 PM) Maureen [~Phedre@174-146-178-76.pools.spcsdns.net] entered the room.
(09:22:58 PM) Cagliostro: Cagliostro will keep tabs passively on the meeting, as long as it's someplace semi-public. I think the Great Hall is the plan. Physically, he'll probably just wait in the Serenity Shed.
(09:24:15 PM) dkap1: Serenity Shed. Sounds like the Happy Hut. Are you going to be showing Sound of Music or the like?
(09:24:35 PM) dkap1: Yes, I did type things in between both of those posts ...
(09:24:46 PM) Cagliostro: hm.
(09:24:50 PM) dkap1: But ... that's OK, I think I have figured out the problem.
(09:25:16 PM) dkap1: My machine is hopping IP addresses, the DHCP seems to have a 2 minute release, and no renew possible.
(09:25:22 PM) dkap1: So I've given myself a static IP.
(09:25:25 PM) dkap1: And that seems to be working.
(09:25:39 PM) Auricle: yay!
(09:25:49 PM) Caelin: Woo!
(09:25:59 PM) Delna: woot indeed
(09:26:17 PM) Delna: After talking with the Count about building new universes, Delna will round up her advisors and get to the meeting hall
(09:26:31 PM) dkap1: So, what were you going to meet with your advisors about, in the meantime?
(09:27:53 PM) Maureen left the room.
(09:29:34 PM) Delna: Right. I just wanted to get a feel from them what outcome they thought would be best where the wolves are concerned based on their conversations with others throughout the day.
(09:32:00 PM) Maureen [~Phedre@174-146-178-76.pools.spcsdns.net] entered the room.
(09:35:05 PM) dkap1: Ahh ... they are of the opinion that the further from them the wolves are, the better off we will be, perhaps with the exception of the Nos.
(09:36:42 PM) Delna: Got it
(09:37:24 PM) Delna: Well, let us begin the proceedings of the town meeting
(09:37:44 PM) dkap1: Excellent. Vamps, gathered in the great hall of the castle.
(09:38:23 PM) dkap1: Some of them jockying for position, to be closer to the stage, some higher up, some nearer the doors, for escape, incase Deathwalker stalks again.
(09:41:44 PM) Delna: (heheh)
(09:43:02 PM) dkap1: One of the Ventru (apparently chosen by a fast game of rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock
(09:44:03 PM) Auricle: (We can't all choose spock!)
(09:44:04 PM) dkap1: ) calls the meeting to order. There is ... very little order until a large voice from somewhere in the crowd shouts "Sunrise soon, let's get this over with!"
(09:48:06 PM) dkap1: Right then. They have settled down. A few growls deep in throats left, and they even realize that they are being ... a bit out of bounds.
(09:48:22 PM) dkap1: The Ventru council all look to you to begin things.
(09:49:03 PM) dkap1: (one of them whispers to Delna that she might want to start with something ritualistic, to both establish that this is appropriate space, and that she is, by definition, the best choice for leader at the moment.)
(09:50:43 PM) ***Delna panics a bit inside
(09:51:46 PM) dkap1: (Just a bit? Hrm ... I'm losing my touch.)
(09:51:52 PM) Delna: Is there anything ritualistic I might recall as for beginning meetings
(09:57:23 PM) dkap1: Well ... there is the thing you did with your cup at the last meeting.
(10:01:06 PM) ***Delna steps forward and holds up the magic chalice, "Before we begin, let us make sure that all who are hungry are fed. Those who have need of food, please step forward."
(10:01:47 PM) Delna: In addition I motion to one of the Ventru to make sure things are orderly and efficent so that we do not lose a lot of time on this
(10:02:12 PM) dkap1: Just about everyone presses forward, because, it's been, after all, an entire day.
(10:05:47 PM) Delna: I make sure that all of them are fed, and then move to continue the meeting
(10:06:41 PM) dkap1: There are a lot of them, at one chalice at a time. It will probably mean well into daylight.
(10:08:48 PM) Maureen left the room (quit: Read error: Connection reset by peer).
(10:09:18 PM) Delna: Can we swing more cups or something, like we did last time? Would there be any cups in the hall that might be passed out to the group perhaps?
(10:09:34 PM) dkap1: Sure.
(10:09:54 PM) dkap1: You could pour, like a champaign fountain. Cups can be found.
(10:11:47 PM) Delna: That's what we'll do then
(10:11:57 PM) dkap1: Excellent. Such an image.
(10:12:10 PM) dkap1: It begs dancing girls in gold lame.
(10:13:54 PM) dkap1: So, feeding time at the zoo happens. Oh, wait, Spot isn't there.
(10:14:38 PM) Delna: Once everyone has settled again, I begin..
(10:15:19 PM) Auricle is now known as Spot
(10:15:23 PM) Spot: Aroo?
(10:15:29 PM) dkap1: *grin*
(10:16:44 PM) dkap1: Begin The Speech, now that everyone is drinking of the blood.
(10:21:43 PM) dkap1: It is a great and powerful Speech, it moves hearts, it explains the position of everything in the universe.
(10:21:55 PM) dkap1: So, what is said, during this speech?
(10:23:34 PM) Delna: "We are here today to discuss the presence of the werewolves in our new home. The wolves have asked to stay in this world though they pose a potential threat to the peace we have sought here. We are here now to listen to both sides of this debate so that we may come to a fair conclusion on whether the wolves must stay or go."
(10:24:19 PM) Delna: Something along those lines will start off the meeting
(10:25:59 PM) dkap1: Ahh ... excellent.
(10:27:36 PM) Delna: I will let one of the ventru call the order of speakers for the meeting
(10:29:03 PM) dkap1: Are any of the woof allowed to speek?
(10:31:14 PM) Maureen [~penguingi@pool-98-110-171-21.bstnma.fios.verizon.net] entered the room.
(10:31:57 PM) Delna: Yes. Spot was invited to speak, and the Nos's friend. Or if there is someone else who from the pack who they feel would be better to speak..
(10:33:03 PM) dkap1: The Nos's friend is a poodle, he doesn't speak much.
(10:33:12 PM) dkap1: Spot, do you want to give your piece?
(10:33:35 PM) Spot: Sure
(10:35:28 PM) ***Spot stands up and looks at all the leeches.
(10:35:57 PM) dkap1: They look back at you with distain, disgust, delight, hunger, and boredom.
(10:38:43 PM) ***Spot grins. "Hello, everyone." grin widens. "I'm Spot. Like I told yer pretty, there, " He grins at Delna, "you all don't really want us to go. You'd get bored, living all those years with nothing to liven things up. And we've already livened things up."
(10:38:54 PM) ***Spot scratches at the back of his head a moment.
(10:39:25 PM) Spot: "'Sides, things like us showing up here, that stuff happens for a reason. There aren't really accidents. Not that I expect most of you to believe that."
(10:40:48 PM) ***Spot thinks for a moment, nods, and sits back down again.
(10:40:50 PM) dkap1: One of the crowd members: "Like that space-ship falling out of the sky?"
(10:41:28 PM) Spot: "Yeah, I'm sure there's a reason for that, too."
(10:42:14 PM) dkap1: "It crushed Beaufort!"
(10:42:46 PM) ***Spot shrugs.
(10:43:05 PM) Spot: "Well he should have looked up, then."
(10:43:50 PM) ***Delna makes sure there is a Ventru out there to mitigate fights, if not, sends one
(10:46:29 PM) dkap1: *grin*
(10:46:35 PM) dkap1: Anticipation is good.
(10:47:02 PM) ***Spot looks around. "Any other questions?"
(10:48:19 PM) dkap1: Vamp: "Why should we keep you around? You don't look like much more than trouble to me?"
(10:49:53 PM) ***Spot thinks for a moment. "Ecology."
(10:50:47 PM) Spot: "You don't stick predators in an area where they run around unchecked." He shrugs.
(10:51:24 PM) dkap1: Cagliostro's Daughter: "You aren't predators, you are thinking, reasoning individuals.
(10:52:21 PM) ***Spot barks a laugh. "Just cause we all think doesn't make us --anyone in this room -- cept maybe that ventrue over there in the corner -- any less of a predator."
(10:52:50 PM) dkap1: The ventru sketches a bow in Spots direction.
(10:58:19 PM) Delna: "The point here is whether or not we can establish a peaceful existence here that will work well with the existing community. That is a separate issue in light of us all being capable of reason and order as evidenced by this meeting. We need to move forward in our discussion now for our time is waning."
(10:59:12 PM) dkap1: Other vamp: "If it's peace you want, then the garou should not be near here. We _really_ don't get along well with them."
(11:01:41 PM) ***Delna nods to the vampire and gestures for the ventru calling up the speakers to bring up the next speaker.
(11:03:15 PM) dkap1: The next speaker comes up.
(11:04:25 PM) dkap1: Speaker: "I'm just a nobody vampire ... working hard to bring about the New Age, when I was "Rescued" to a place where I could walk in the light, again. Can that happen here?"
(11:05:49 PM) Cagliostro: ("very briefly.")
(11:06:44 PM) dkap1: *snort*
(11:08:18 PM) Delna: (Is he asking a question of me? Amanda is not sure what he is asking [metaphorical, literal?] or where he is going with this)
(11:09:30 PM) dkap1: Nope, you don't.
(11:10:12 PM) Spot: (i need to go to bed, folks, sorry. Laters~!)
(11:10:25 PM) ***Caelin (nods. Good night!)
(11:11:04 PM) Spot left the room.
(11:11:04 PM) Delna: (Good night)
(11:13:17 PM) dkap1: Right ... it's 11, and we didn't get very far, alas.
(11:13:23 PM) dkap1: Shall we continue?
(11:13:44 PM) Cagliostro: up to you. I am OK for a bit longer. Other people may pumpkin.
(11:14:14 PM) dkap1: Delna?
(11:14:51 PM) Caelin: I'm 3 hours behind all of you, so I'm good.
(11:14:55 PM) Delna: I do have to pumpkin soon as I have to rise early for work
(11:15:13 PM) dkap1: So ... shall we shelve this for now, and have a plan for going forward?
(11:15:52 PM) Delna: Probably best
(11:16:03 PM) dkap1: Excellent.
(11:16:06 PM) Caelin: Well, we can try to reconvene on Wave once you get set up here.
(11:16:14 PM) Caelin: er there
(11:16:23 PM) Delna: I got my invite by the way
(11:16:25 PM) dkap1: Actually, that would be a good thing. I just tried it, and didn't get it.
(11:16:38 PM) Cagliostro: excellent.
(11:17:03 PM) Caelin: Delna, excellent. Dkap, I recommend the demo. Makes things quite clear.
(11:22:57 PM) dkap1: Right ... I'll try.
(11:23:20 PM) Caelin: Good deal! Talk soon! Good night in the meanwhile!
(11:23:23 PM) Caelin left the room (quit: Read error: EOF from client).
(11:26:37 PM) Delna left the room (quit: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.85 [Firefox 3.5.5/20091102152451]).
(11:44:31 PM) dkap1: And ... it just crashed my browser. *sigh* Not my night for technology, apparently.
