(08:33:22 PM) dkap: Good evening!
(08:33:38 PM) dkap: Sorry for the delay. My computer decided that it needed to be updated immediately.
(08:34:26 PM) dkap: Where did we leave off?
(08:34:33 PM) dkap: Let's see ...
(08:38:46 PM) dkap: Log, log, wherever you are ...
(08:41:00 PM) dkap: There you are.
(08:41:13 PM) dkap: So ... Spot is being sought by Delna and Hegara.
(08:42:39 PM) dkap: The Count has retrieved the guy, left him with ... Simon? and is working with the woman, if I recall correctly?
(08:42:52 PM) dkap: Caelin is carefully not blowing up the universe again.
(08:44:11 PM) dkap: Am I even connected? Can anyone hear me?

(08:53:45 PM) dkap: Right then.
(08:54:31 PM) dkap: I think I was off-line ...
(08:54:40 PM) dkap: Did anyone see my posts?
(08:54:51 PM) Hegara: nope
(08:54:53 PM) Delna: no
(08:54:58 PM) dkap: Blearg.
(08:55:03 PM) dkap: Well ... the high points were:
(08:55:10 PM) dkap: So ... Spot is being sought by Delna and Hegara.
(08:55:18 PM) dkap: The Count has retrieved the guy, left him with ... Simon? and is working with the woman, if I recall correctly?
(08:55:26 PM) dkap: Caelin is carefully not blowing up the universe again.
(08:55:33 PM) dkap: Am I even connected? Can anyone hear me?
(08:55:41 PM) Hegara: yes
(08:55:47 PM) dkap: I was thrown because I saw Hegara's greeting, and then started typing.
(08:56:04 PM) Hegara: lol
(08:58:36 PM) Delna: The Count had to leave due to work stuff unfortunately
(08:59:12 PM) Delna: I believe your recalling is correct
(08:59:19 PM) dkap: I figured. He's got a 6:00 flight.
(08:59:28 PM) Delna: ah
(08:59:37 PM) Hegara: ouch
(08:59:39 PM) Delna: that would do it
(08:59:43 PM) dkap: I've got Spot in another window, she's got something else going on, and can't give the game full attention.
(08:59:50 PM) dkap: Same thing with Ammon.
(08:59:54 PM) Delna: mmm
(09:00:42 PM) Caelin_ [~arkhonii@m355a36d0.tmodns.net] entered the room.
(09:01:00 PM) Caelin left the room (quit: Read error: Connection reset by peer).
(09:01:11 PM) Caelin_: hrm...split personality.
(09:03:18 PM) dkap: Like, having yourself as head people?
(09:06:19 PM) Delna: Do we have a part of the plot we can play missing said people?
(09:06:57 PM) dkap: Indeed, I believe Delna was taking Hegara and the other Nos to find Spot?
(09:07:33 PM) Caelin_: I don't think I've ever had myself as a head person.
(09:08:09 PM) Delna: Taking Hegara. I believe I was leaving the other Nos to guard the castle.
(09:08:36 PM) Delna: But yes, finding Spot
(09:08:36 PM) Hegara: I go where I am needed
(09:09:52 PM) dkap: Excellent.
(09:10:01 PM) dkap: Where are you going looking?
(09:11:00 PM) Delna: Hmm, good question
(09:11:02 PM) Hegara: Spot
(09:12:28 PM) dkap: Yes, where are you going to look for Spot?
(09:12:32 PM) Delna: If I haven't heard anything from others about where their general location has been, I'll try the closest wooded area
(09:13:10 PM) dkap: Excellent.
(09:13:45 PM) dkap: (And, no, Spot left during the day, so no one saw where Spot remover happened.)
(09:15:29 PM) Delna: ok then. Into the Woods!
(09:15:53 PM) dkap: We go tonight. The trees are just wood ...
(09:16:11 PM) dkap: Sorry ... it does have that effect on me.
(09:16:18 PM) dkap: There is lots of life in the woods.
(09:16:42 PM) Hegara: Squirrel
(09:17:01 PM) dkap: Squirriles, and raccoons, and birds, and insects, all manner of nocturnal creatures.
(09:17:44 PM) Delna: Any signs of garou, or anything that could try to threaten Hegara and I?
(09:18:38 PM) dkap: Nothing in particular seems threatening ... and you _are_ after all, the top of the food-chain.
(09:18:59 PM) dkap: And Hegara is quite an impressively _large_ member of your particular group.
(09:19:25 PM) Hegara: *cracks knuckols
(09:19:37 PM) Delna: Yes. But Delna is never one to be reckless.
(09:20:02 PM) Delna: Any sign of garou then? footprints, large areas of broken limbs, etc.
(09:21:24 PM) dkap: Not really. There is some sign of passage.
(09:21:59 PM) dkap: But nothing that would indicate a garou passing.
(09:23:45 PM) Meiglan [~chatzilla@72.170.197.76] entered the room.
(09:23:47 PM) Delna: Continue to search
Meiglan meiglan
(09:24:48 PM) dkap: Good good. I think I'm going to ret-con meiglan with you.
(09:25:20 PM) Meiglan: ret-con? wassat?
(09:25:59 PM) dkap: Retroactive continuity.
(09:26:04 PM) dkap: It means changing the past.
Meiglan meiglan
(09:27:23 PM) dkap: So, when Delna, meiglan and Hegara went looking for Spot ...
(09:28:00 PM) Delna: It means you get to hang with us tonight!
(09:29:14 PM) Meiglan: But I don't look good with my tongue hanging out and gasping for breath!
(09:29:54 PM) dkap: Blue is just not your colour.
(09:31:16 PM) Hegara: lolz
(09:31:58 PM) dkap: So, right, Into the Woods.
(09:32:19 PM) Delna: To grandmother's house we go...err, spot's house..
(09:33:26 PM) Delna: I ask Meiglan and Hegara to keep their eyes an ears out for any wolves that might try to attack us, or any sign of their passing.
(09:33:54 PM) Hegara: *nobs
(09:34:19 PM) Meiglan: "Of course."
(09:34:38 PM) dkap: There is signs of passing, but not either almost invisible of a wolf-hunting, nor of quite a beast, tearing through.
(09:37:33 PM) Delna: (As we continue on I remind GM of my hightened senses which are allow me both fortunately and unfortunately to smell things at greater intensity and from farther away than normal vamp senses. Not that the wolves wouldn't stay downwind anyway, but..)
(09:38:31 PM) dkap: Thank you for the reminder.
(09:38:40 PM) dkap: The smell is ... definitely earthy, but not dog.
(09:39:51 PM) Meiglan: "Tricksy things, these wolves. If they're here, they've hidden themselves really well. Perhaps instead of looking for them, we ought to let them find us."
(09:40:55 PM) Hegara: "So sit and wait?
(09:41:02 PM) Delna: Likely a good idea.
(09:41:06 PM) dkap: Maybe become attractive to them somehow?
(09:42:11 PM) Delna: Or maybe find a way to leave them a message that they might get somehow. So that perhaps we could get them to come to our ground and thus be in less danger.
(09:42:16 PM) Meiglan: "We NOS, we're really good at hiding. If we don't want to be found..we won't be. But we can be persuaded to reveal ourselves if the incentive is right. "
(09:44:08 PM) Hegara: "We need to find Spot, they might know where he is. So we need to meet them."
(09:46:43 PM) dkap: So, what do you want to do, to attract attention?
(09:47:35 PM) Meiglan: How does the hunting look around here, Oh mighty DM?
(09:47:46 PM) dkap: Tasty.
(09:48:14 PM) Meiglan: so there's abundant game and such for the wolves to be hunting?
(09:48:21 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(09:48:26 PM) dkap: Or other things to hunt.
(09:49:08 PM) Meiglan: "Well, we can't offer them food, looks like there's plenty around here. "
(09:51:01 PM) Delna: "Meiglan, is your pup friend still back at the castle?"
(09:51:14 PM) dkap: (He is.)
(09:51:46 PM) Meiglan: "Oooh that's absolutely brilliant! Yes he is. I'm sure he can bring 'em out of hiding."
(09:52:32 PM) dkap: Bone-gnawer fetched, and set loose?
(09:52:42 PM) Delna: "And we can meet in a location near to, but still outside of the woods so that they do not feel they have any kind of upper hand in this meeting."
(09:53:25 PM) Meiglan: "Agreed." (and agreed)
(09:54:04 PM) Delna: Yes. Setting a meeting place somewhere reasonably in between our residence and the woods. So that we can still reach back-up easily should it be needed.
(09:54:17 PM) dkap: The pooch runs off, in to the woods, and soon comes tearing back, perhaps, even faster, with a large cat chasing. Looks like a Maine Coon cat, or a little larger.
(09:54:47 PM) Delna: "?"
(09:55:00 PM) Delna: giggles
(09:55:22 PM) dkap: The cat, seeing you, stops and hisses, puffs up even bigger, and arches her back.
(09:56:50 PM) Delna: How big compared to me?
(09:57:17 PM) dkap: Hrm ... probably weighs about 20 pounds at most. Arched a little higher than your knee.
(09:58:20 PM) Meiglan: Been a while and not sure if my Disciplines will work, but uses Feral Whispers to try to communicate with the cat and tell it lay off my lil buddy!
(09:58:33 PM) Meiglan: (Animalism One)
(09:58:36 PM) dkap: You succeed.
(10:00:06 PM) dkap: The cat seems more intent on Delna than the pooch, now, anyway.
(10:00:15 PM) dkap: It seems about to pounce and scratch.
(10:01:32 PM) Delna: I hiss and crouch and ready my claws at it, attempting to scare it off, but ready to hit it if necessary
(10:02:39 PM) dkap: It fluffs up even more (believe it or not. There must be blowfish in it's ancestry somewhere ...)
(10:02:46 PM) dkap: And has a claw out.
(10:04:46 PM) Delna: "We don't want to hurt you."
(10:05:26 PM) dkap: It doesn't seem to have language.
(10:08:15 PM) Delna: "Meiglan, can you ask it why it won't leave?"
(10:11:32 PM) Meiglan: "I would say it's defending itself, probably scared silly. Could have kits. Let see if I can calm it down." Song of Serenity...used to be able to do it before the world went bonkers. (Animalism 3, Used to calm 'em down)
(10:11:52 PM) Caelin [~arkhon@pool-96-233-8-34.bstnma.east.verizon.net] entered the room.
(10:12:27 PM) Caelin_ left the room (quit: Quit: 1.6.6).
(10:16:15 PM) dkap: Yes, it calms down. So much so, it un-puffs, and then starts washing it's face.
(10:18:23 PM) Delna: I lower my claws
(10:19:27 PM) Meiglan: "There, all calm and not ready to rip someone to shreds. Really is a pretty beast. Wonder what kind...bobcat maybe? Eddie, did you startle this pretty kitty?"
(10:19:33 PM) dkap: The cat looks at you, curiously, turns, and starts pacing, back and forth, slightly closer to, then farther away from your group.
(10:19:52 PM) dkap: Eddie nods, somewhat pathetically.
(10:20:49 PM) Delna: Eddie is the bone-gnawer?
(10:20:53 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(10:21:40 PM) Meiglan: Picks Eddie up and ruffles his head. "Don't worry, I don't think you left it any worse for the wear. Still..I wonder if it's noticed wolves in the area." Tries to ask the cat that question.
(10:24:25 PM) dkap: The Cat hisses again, but doesn't puff up.
(10:24:38 PM) dkap: Apparently, the woofs have, on some level, disturbed it.
(10:26:08 PM) Delna: mmm
(10:29:42 PM) Meiglan: "Our wolves or just regular average joe ones, I'm not sure, but it did react." Tries again with the cat, this time trying to relay 'Spotness' and the idea that we are looking for him.
(10:30:22 PM) dkap: Definitely not wolves who are always wolves.
(10:33:07 PM) Meiglan: "well, they're around here somewhere...but I don't know how far this little kitty travels on a regular basis. Any ideas? "
(10:33:40 PM) Hegara left the room (quit: Quit).
(10:34:32 PM) dkap: Why am I flashing on "Take me to your leader."?
(10:34:50 PM) Delna: heheh
(10:34:54 PM) Meiglan: (Cause I'm telepathically sending that phrase to you)
(10:35:37 PM) dkap: Ahh ... telepathy. Excellent!
(10:37:00 PM) Delna: If we can't get anything else from our cat friend, perhaps we need to follow Eddie in.. To make sure he doesn't get bombarded by anymore local cats..
(10:39:52 PM) Meiglan: I think that's a very good point.
(10:40:27 PM) dkap: And I think that's a lovely place to hang it, otherwise, we will be running for at least another hour.
(10:40:49 PM) Delna: Good for me. I am fading into dreamland
(10:41:03 PM) Caelin: Good night, all.
(10:41:06 PM) Caelin left the room.
(10:41:20 PM) Delna: Good night everyone!
(10:41:48 PM) Delna: Stay warm this week!!
(10:41:50 PM) dkap: That's a wrap!
(10:43:47 PM) Delna left the room (quit: Read error: EOF from client).
(10:44:19 PM) Meiglan: night all
(10:44:28 PM) Meiglan left the room (quit: Read error: EOF from client).
