18:19 -!- KK [~kkurtz@OWIRCN-49430054.va.comcast.net] has joined #deryni_destinations
18:19 <@Evie> I do too.  We spent a good part of the last few days asking around and putting up posters with his photo
18:19 <~bynw> hiyas KK
18:20 < jemler> hni kk
18:20 <@Evie> hi, KK
18:20 < Jerusha> Hi KK
18:20 < kirienne> Hi KK
18:20 < the_Bee> Do they know how the dog they found in the woods died?
18:20 < the_Bee> Hi KK
18:20 <@Evie> No, or if they do, I've not heard
18:20 < kirienne> Evie, I'll sy some prayers for his quick and safe return
18:20 < KK> Yike, what died?
18:20 <@Evie> we have coyotes and other wildlife around, though.  Even a bear spotted at one point.
18:20 < KK> Andw ho's missing?
18:20 <@Evie> Our dog Pixi-Stix
18:20 < the_Bee> Evie's dog is missing.  2 Dogs missing, one found dead.
18:21 < Alkari> Hello KK
18:21 <@Evie> He went missing just before we returned from holiday, and normally turns up in a few days when he manages to escape, but he hasn't come home this time
18:21 < KK> Oh, no!  How long?
18:21 <@Evie> and we've had two other dogs go missing from our neighborhood in the past year
18:21 <@Evie> not sure exactly how many days, but at least since New Year
18:21 < KK> Have you checked local shelters and rescue orgs?
18:22 <@Evie> the neighbor who was feeding him and keeping an eye out on him said he disappeared just before we got back from our trip.
18:22 < KK> How big is he?
18:22 < the_Bee> and is he micro-chipped?
18:22 <@Evie> DH called around, and we've put up a notice on Craigslist and also posted pictures around the neighborhood and closer areas of town
18:23 <@Evie> He's not microchipped.  he's a fairly big dog...we think he might be half husky and half Rottweiler
18:23 <@Evie> and all teddy bear
18:23 < Jerusha> Ahh
18:23 < KK> How sad.
18:23 <@Evie> Ironically, we were planning on taking him to the vet after we got back, and considered microchipping him then, due to his tendency to escape
18:24 < Alkari> Does he have a collar on?
18:24 < Jerusha> Hopefully he'll get tired of his freedom and come home for dinner
18:24 <@Evie> he loves his little escape adventures, but he's always returned from them, so we weren't worried until several days passed and no one had even spotted him nearby
18:24 < the_Bee> Keep us informed, Evie.
18:24 <@Evie> He had a collar, Alkari, but he has a tendency to get out of them somehow, so not sure if he's still got it on
18:24 < Alkari> Unfortunately, many people are likely to be wary of a dog that size too.
18:24 <@Evie> as I said, he's a Houdini
18:25 <@Evie> Yeah, he's a big dog, but he's a sweetheart
18:25 < KK> Hope he finds his way home.
18:26 < kirienne> soon
18:26 <@Evie> We were originally more worried about Gigi. The catsitter said he hadn't spotted her during his visits, but she was perfectly fine when we got back.  Just shy and given to hiding from him whenever he came over, so the only one he ever saw was Luke, who is all over anyone who ever comes over, whether we're home or not.
18:26 < kirienne> LOL
18:27 <@Evie> Luke greets people at  the door with "Are you my new friend? Do you have food?"
18:27 < Alkari> rofl
18:27 < kirienne> :-)
18:27 <@Evie> We used to have a little collar and black bow tie for him. We called him our butler.
18:27 < Jerusha> Luke sounds like a whippet
18:27 < Alkari> And 'will you sit down so I can land in your lap for a nice cuddle!
18:27 <@Evie> Luke thinks he's a lap puppy
18:28 < Jerusha> Nothing wrong with that
18:28 <@Evie> He's in his customary position right now, lying across my forearms as I type and falling asleep in that position
18:28 < Alkari> But which members of your 'little' family did you leave in TN?
18:28 -!- derynifanatic64 [Mibbit@4CA975.B3C46D.D81D47.141BA4] has joined #deryni_destinations
18:28 < the_Bee> Hi DF
18:28 < Alkari> Greetings DF
18:28 < jemler> as long as he doesn't start barking.
18:28 < Jerusha> Hi DF64
18:29 < kirienne> Hi DF
18:29 < jemler> hi df
18:29 < derynifanatic64> hi all
18:29 <@Evie> Mac, Jess, John, and Olivia Grace.  They're moderns, so you haven't met them in the Deryni Action Figure Thread
18:29 <@Evie> hi, DF
18:29 < Alkari> OK.  Just as long as you hadn't abandoned Duncan and co  :D
18:29 < Jerusha> Olivia Grace is an interesting name
18:29 < KK> Aren't they back from TN yet?
18:30 <@Evie> DH was repairing the van and took some items out of it while he was working. The box they were in didn't make it back into the van.  So hopefully I'll be reunited next weekend.
18:30 < KK> Ah.
18:30 <@Evie> No, I made sure the box containing the Mini-Deryni ended up riding beside me
18:30 < kirienne> LOL, good
18:30 <@Evie> Some of their furnishings had to stay in TN an extra week, but it's all home now except for what was in that one box
18:31 < Jerusha> Duncan likes to ride shotgun?
18:31 <@Evie> I am in the process of trying to design a fireplace wall and a window seat wall right now
18:31 < Alkari> He just likes to look out the window!
18:31 <@Evie> Duncan loves car trips. He usually prefers the cup holder. It's like a seat belt. :D
18:31 < jemler> i like to look in! ;P
18:31 < KK> LOL
18:32 < kirienne> :-)
18:32 <@Evie> I have side by side cup holders in the center console, so he and a buddy can sit together
18:32 < kirienne> LOL
18:32 < derynifanatic64> :D
18:32 <@Evie> Sometimes it's Alaric, but they tend to get into mischief if I take them together, so sometimes it's one of the others
18:32 < kirienne> hee heee heee
18:32 < Jerusha> Now how could that happen?:D
18:33 < Jerusha> So Duncan holds out a Shiral crystal instead of a GPS?
18:33 < Alkari> Can't imagine Duncan and Alaric getting into mischief.
18:33 <@Evie> Right now I have my mini-me (the Sister Therese figure) in modern clothes sitting next to the only modern little I've got at home with me at the moment. He seems to have taken to her; I found him with his arm around her shoulders. I haven't broken the news to him yet that she's a nun. :D
18:34 < derynifanatic64> mischief is their middle name
18:34 < Alkari> And besides, Duncan would get jealous
18:34 < Jerusha> Nun-sense
18:34 < Alkari> BTW, EVie - will be sending off a small package of trims - was in a craft shop the other day and they were selling off stuff at silly prices, so I grabbed some that looked vaguely useful
18:34 <@Evie> DH got tickled with me because I had Alaric and Duncan in the car with us while going to Michael's Arts and Crafts one day, and I told them they'd have  to stay in the car "because you aren't wearing shoes."
18:34 < jemler> she said it, i didn't!
18:34 <@Evie> Oh, sweet!  Thank you!
18:35 < Jerusha> :D
18:35 < derynifanatic64> no shoes, no shirt, no service
18:35 <@Evie> I almost used that tiny ivory trim you sent me recently, but I decided to save it for a different project.
18:35 < kirienne> LOL
18:35 < Alkari> There's a lenght of very fine pearl trim too, plus some silver and gold chain
18:36 < Jerusha> KK, how are Brion and Alaric doing?
18:36 <@Evie> My mini-Deryni are very jealous of my latest purchase.  I used my Christmas money to buy a miniature kitchen set--mini-appliances and cabinetry along with  a few dishes and food items for the pantry.  But it's all modern stuff, so Richenda can't work out how it works.
18:36 < jemler> is there a sign on Duncan's church that says 'No Shoes, No Shirt, No (Religious) Service'?
18:36 < the_Bee> Have they met Jehana yet?
18:37 <@Evie> LOL, jemler
18:37 < Jerusha> I can see Richenda looking very confused
18:37 < KK> THey're just about to meet her.  THey can see her and her sisters playing with some puppies across the grass.
18:37 <@Evie> I should take pictures of the medievals trying to figure out how a modern stove works. ;-)
18:37 < derynifanatic64> aww, puppies
18:37 < kirienne> :-)
18:37 < Jerusha> Puppies and princesses
18:38 <@Evie> So you've at least got Brion and Jehana within sight of each other now?  Cool!  i guess the meeting takes place this week?
18:38 < KK> Yep.
18:39 < Jerusha> Fireworks, KK, or subtle smiles?
18:39 <@Evie> So Jehana's a dog person, or does she like cats as well?
18:40 < KK> Likes both.
18:41 < KK> Brion sees her; she doesn't see him yet.
18:41 < derynifanatic64> :(me too, but i'm very allergic to cats
18:41 < Alkari> Is he smitten at first sight?
18:42 < KK> You'll have to wait and see.
18:42 <@Evie> LOL
18:42 < Jerusha> Ah shucks
18:43 <@Evie> In that case, please get it into print quickly. ;-)
18:43 < Jerusha> And what does Alaric think of the princess?
18:43 < the_Bee> Is Ryol older or younger than Jehana?
18:44 < KK> He adores her at first.
18:44 <@Evie> xhhhhhhhhhhhhhjk
18:44 < Jerusha> Luke?
18:44 < KK> Ryol is a year older.
18:44 <@Evie> Sorry, Luke just decided to exit stage right
18:44 < Jerusha> Alaric would, until everything changes
18:44 < derynifanatic64> snagglepuss
18:45 < jemler> i seem to remember something about that in the Knighting of Derry.
18:45 < Alkari> Yes.  A shame Jehana was such a *****
18:45 < Jerusha> KK, was Jehana's mother alive at this time?
18:46 < Jerusha> I wonder if she could have been a tempering influence
18:46 <@Evie> Hm.  I know Donal was dead before Kelson was born, but did Kelson know any of his other grandparents?
18:47 < KK> Jehana's mother died 3 years before they meet.
18:48 < Jerusha> Was her mother Deryni?
18:49 < jemler> Jehana was full Deryni. Both of her parents would have been.
18:49 < KK> Richeldis died in 1118, so Kelson would have known her.
18:49 < Jerusha> They should have picked a better convent to have her educated in. 
18:50 < the_Bee> Didn't they notice their daughter was growing up to be a Deryni-hater?
18:50 < KK> Her father wasn't--or at least it would have been dilute, if he was.
18:50 < the_Bee> Was he an XY'?
18:50 < KK> She spent a lot of time at the convent, being educated.  And you're assuming that they would have talked to their daughter about important things.
18:50 < Jerusha> Oh, so the King of Bremagne was not Deryni?
18:51 < KK> Not that anyone knew of.
18:51 < Jerusha> One wonders if they talked to their daugher at all
18:52 < jemler> i have to disagree KK. the Council declared Kelson as full Deryni in part because of his mother. If Jehana was a half-breed, they would have outcast her as they did Alaric and Duncan.
18:52 < the_Bee> Maybe the CC knew but the people of Bremagne didn't.
18:53 < Alkari> Yes - wasn't that what they said in HD, KK?
18:53 < KK> None of them really knows how the Deryni power is transmitted.  I think they judge by ability rather than blood, when the chips are down.  (And remember that I first started writing about this stuff more than 40 years ago.)
18:53 < jemler> maybe her parents sent her to that convent, so she would grow to hate Deryni. to better fit in in Gwynedd.
18:54 < KK> THey wouldn't have known she was going to end up marrying the King of Gwynedd.
18:54 < Jerusha> But it just keeps getting better, KK! :)
18:54 < Jerusha> But they would figure she would marry someone of importance, I would think
18:54 < Alkari> 40 years!   HOw time flies when you're having fun  :D
18:55 < KK> Yes, but might not have considered the Deryni part of things.
18:55 < jemler> As a Royal Princess, she was in the running.
18:55 < KK> Yes, Alkari!
18:55 < derynifanatic64> we're all glad you wrote these books
18:55 < kirienne> Yes, very glad
18:55 < Jerusha> And are still writing...
18:55 < KK> Yes, but there were also other royals running aorund and looking for wives.
18:55 < derynifanatic64> how else could i have become a derynifanatic without them
18:56 < Jerusha> They tend to do that
18:56 < KK> That's true.
18:56 < Alkari> Its funny to think how much fantasy has been written since then.
18:56 < jemler> Good point, df
18:56 < Alkari> And how popular it has become
18:56  * Evie pictures a bunch of royals literally running around looking for wives, like an Easter Egg hunt
18:56 <@Evie> :D
18:57 < Jerusha> Puts the Easter Bunny in an all new role!
18:57 < jemler> I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Once Upon a Time is about to start. :(
18:58 < the_Bee> KK, do many of the other royal families in the 11 Kingdoms carry something like the Haldane potential?
18:58 < Jerusha> Jemler!
18:58 <@Evie> "When you were a baby, the stork brought you to us, and now that you are all grown up, the Easter Bunny will bring you a wife!"
18:58 < Alkari> Shhh, jemler!
18:58 < KK> Yes, I've been watching the count-down.  GOtta run, guys and girls.
18:58 < derynifanatic64> then downton abbey afterwards
18:58 < Alkari> Have a good week, and happy writing, KK
18:58 < KK> See you next week, hopefully with tnews ot how the meeting all happened.
18:58 < the_Bee> bye Kk. thanks for coming
18:58  * jemler hides his face in shame
18:58 < derynifanatic64> bye kk
18:58 < kirienne> Night night KK
18:58 <@Evie> Good night!
18:58 < jemler> nite kk
18:58 < Jerusha> Looking forward to next week, KK
18:58  * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
18:59  * Evie swats jemler with a rolled up newspaper
18:59 < KK> Nighters!
