[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:03:09 PM] <Evie> Hi, KK!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:03:13 PM] <KK> Hi, guys.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:03:22 PM] Join Alkari has joined this channel (Mibbit@OWIRCN-b788d9df.internode.on.net).
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:03:26 PM] <Evie> hi Alkari
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:03:35 PM] <Alkari> hi everyone
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:03:39 PM] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:03:56 PM] <KK> Boy, everybody's arriving at the same time.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:04:03 PM] <Alkari> adjusted my time planner this week !
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:04:11 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Alkari. Hi there.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:04:19 PM] <Evie> I was afraid I'd miss chat since DH is coming in from Gulf Wars tonight, but turns out they won't be in until 7:30 or so
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:04:52 PM] <Evie> 7:30 my time, that is, so 8:30 official chat time
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:04:58 PM] <jemler> hi kk, alkari
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:04:59 PM] <KK> Gulf Wars always reminds me of the real one. A bunch of us were at a con when that happened.

[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:05:08 PM] <jemler> hi shiral
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:05:09 PM] <Evie> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:05:13 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, y'all. If you need to rent a car for any reason, I highly recommend Enterprise. I rented a car from them while I was in Texas last week, and they rock.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:05:16 PM] <DesertRose> Hey Shiral.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:05:27 PM] <KK> They're our company of choice.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:05:35 PM] <Alkari> I am taking a break from RL work and ghastly complex 'stuff'
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:05:40 PM] * Shiral sets out a tea table with Irish Soda Bread
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:05:40 PM] <KK> Shiral, are you at work or at home?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:05:45 PM] <Shiral> home
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:05:55 PM] <KK> Oh, good.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:05:55 PM] <Evie> Did you get dragged out of retirement, Alkari?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:05:57 PM] <Shiral> Just got back from trawling for Condos
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:06:01 PM] * DesertRose sets out Irish stew, colcannon, and Guinness breadbowls to eat the stew out of.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:06:11 PM] <jemler> what do you use as bait?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:06:13 PM] <KK> Are you buying one, Shiral?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:06:14 PM] <Alkari> Yes - they have me on an 'as needs' contract basis on an hourly rate
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:06:22 PM] <Shiral> Yes, with my mother's help
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:06:28 PM] <KK> Very nice!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:06:33 PM] <Alkari> They need someone who understands legislation!!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:06:42 PM] <Shiral> And part of the proceeds from the sale of Mom's house last fall
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:06:45 PM] <DesertRose> The pygmy lions will be so pleased.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:06:55 PM] <Shiral> Renting makes less and less sense around here
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:07:10 PM] <Shiral> I have to move to keep them in the lifestyle they deserve, DR

[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:07:20 PM] <DesertRose> If I could afford to buy, I'd be doing it now while the market is still a buyer's market.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:07:22 PM] <Alkari> Ooh - condo buying! Nice - but exhausting
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:07:27 PM] <jemler> hi jerusha
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:07:28 PM] <DesertRose> Hey Jerusha.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:07:35 PM] <Shiral> Although around here right now, the dice are very much loaded in the seller's favor
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:07:36 PM] * Alkari waves hi to jerusha
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:07:38 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:07:54 PM] <Evie> Hi, Jerusha!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:07:56 PM] <Jerusha> Jerusha waves to Alkari
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:08:00 PM] <DesertRose> Oh really? Around here, there are LOTS of homes and condos for sale.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:08:05 PM] <Shiral> And putting in an offer requires fast work because if you don't put in an offer about 6 or 7 other people WILL.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:08:08 PM] <DesertRose> Right.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:08:08 PM] <Evie> My "pygmy lion" getting into mischief: http://www.flickr.com/photos/9573389@N08/8552150599/
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:08:12 PM] <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:08:19 PM] <KK> My nephew bought a cobdo last year, in Half Moon Bay. He's making pretty good money these days.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:08:28 PM] <Alkari> Having just done major renovations, I am not going to sell up my place within the next couple of years - unless I win the lottery!!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:08:33 PM] <Shiral> He must be! =o)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:08:59 PM] <Shiral> I'd really like a little chateau, but you can't find them for love or money, around here. I'd be better off building one of my own
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:09:22 PM] <jemler> Half moon? how do you shoot half the moon? :)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:09:29 PM] <Evie> I was going to say you could build a little chateau, but I suppose you'd prefer one big enough to live in. ;-)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:09:33 PM] <Shiral> DR, I wish that I had more choices around here

[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:10:04 PM] <DesertRose> Move to Florida? :)

[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:10:16 PM] <DesertRose> Rehi Jerusha.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:10:25 PM] <jemler> jerusha, maybe you should switch to mirc.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:10:30 PM] <Shiral> Well... I want those choices but I want to stay here. I don't do well in hot humid climates!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:10:32 PM] <Jerusha> Sorry, still learning Windows 8
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:10:35 PM] <Alkari> you need to adjust your TP settings jerusha ;)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:10:35 PM] <DesertRose> Or some other client. :)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:10:51 PM] * Evie lends Jerusha her Ward Cubes
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:10:56 PM] <KK> Evie, did he also behead the guy in the next frame?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:10:59 PM] <Shiral> Any news from Deryni Land??
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:11:10 PM] <DesertRose> Understandable. Heat doesn't bother me--I was born in Arizona--but humidity can really kick my butt.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:11:10 PM] <jemler> first rule of windows 8: stay with windows 7!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:11:16 PM] <Jerusha> Thanks, all - I can use all the help I can get
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:11:29 PM] <Shiral> I just melt into a motionless blob
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:11:30 PM] <Evie> LOL! No, that's a body double for a doll I'm making some clothing for in exchange for a little kitchen cabinet
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:11:33 PM] <Alkari> LOL @ jemler.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:12:13 PM] <KK> Brion returned home from his betrothal to learn that his sister had died in childbirth. Now he's pissed and wants her body, and the baby's, returned to lie with her Haldane kin.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:12:32 PM] <Alkari> It seems that only every second Windows release is a good one. People stayed with XP rather than upgrade to Vista, and went straight to Wondows 7
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:12:35 PM] <Shiral> Brion seems to be having a difficult year
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:12:51 PM] <jemler> that's because Vista suxked!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:12:53 PM] <Evie> Poor Xenia
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:12:58 PM] <Alkari> Oh, poor Brion. That was the sister who married the Torenthi?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:13:02 PM] <jemler> sucked, sorry
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:13:05 PM] <KK> He's sending Richard to take care of it.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:13:07 PM] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:13:12 PM] <KK> Xenia.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:13:20 PM] <Alkari> He's lucky to have Uncle Richard
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:13:21 PM] <Shiral> Uncles are so useful! =o)

[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:13:38 PM] <jemler> hi bee
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:13:41 PM] <Alkari> Not a Richard III uncle, clearly
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:13:47 PM] <Shiral> more princess than warrior
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:13:52 PM] <Shiral> Hi Bee
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:13:58 PM] <Evie> Has Richard met ...oh, what was her name? Araxie's mother. Sivorn?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:14:13 PM] <KK> Well, Brion can't leave again so soon, and he and Richard can't be out of the kingdom at the same time. But I think B is going to miss his own wedding, and Richard will have to stand proxy for him.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:14:19 PM] <the_Bee> Hi Jemler and Shiral and al
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:14:52 PM] <KK> He hasn't yet, but he's about to.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:14:59 PM] <Alkari> The idea of a 'proxy' at a wedding is highly amusing ... perhaps THAT explains the Brion / Jehana 'relationship' later!!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:15:08 PM] <the_Bee> not on the weding night, I hope.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:15:09 PM] <Shiral> Richard: I do Marriages and Burials!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:15:18 PM] <Evie> So does R arrive in B's place, act as proxy, then bring Jehana back to Gwynedd with him? or does she go there later?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:15:30 PM] <jemler> does the proxy get to have a proxy honeymoon?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:15:32 PM] <KK> They already spent a lot of time together before the betrothal. And the proxy doesn't get to consummate the marriage. ;-)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:15:41 PM] <Alkari> Just as well :D
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:15:44 PM] <Shiral> All the duties, none of the fun!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:15:47 PM] <jemler> answers that question
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:15:58 PM] Quit Jerusha has left this server (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:16:11 PM] <KK> She goes later. The weather turns atrocious, which is why Brion can't make it himself.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:16:12 PM] <Shiral> "Darling I don't know what it is, but you look....OLDER, somehow."
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:16:16 PM] <Evie> Poor Jerusha. She needs some magic Velcro.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:16:20 PM] <Alkari> Poor bride though ... you get all dolled up for the wedding, an no bridegroom
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:16:44 PM] <Shiral> Well.... she'll have YEARS of dressing to impress Brion and his court
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:16:48 PM] <Evie> Does Richard have the typical Haldane looks?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:16:51 PM] <the_Bee> Has mibit ben boting Jerusha a lot tonight?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:17:00 PM] <Evie> Yes, Bee
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:17:03 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Bee. I didn't see you come in.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:17:03 PM] <KK> She'll get to do it all over again, in better weather. (It was ROb who set the wedding at Twelfth Night--and that's not a good time to try to bring a bride back to Rhemuth.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:17:06 PM] <Alkari> Yes, it's a Torenthi plot
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:17:20 PM] * Shiral wallops Mibbit with a lobster
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:17:28 PM] <jemler> Teymuraz strikes again!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:17:33 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:17:35 PM] <Alkari> Sabotage Mibbit - destroy those Haldane supporters ...
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:17:43 PM] <Shiral> Especially not if Bride in question gets sea sick
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:18:06 PM] <Evie> A Twelfth Night wedding makes more sense if the bride got there a month or two earlier while sea travel was safer
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:18:11 PM] <Shiral> Unless Kelson inherited his unhappy sailing tendency from Brion
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:18:37 PM] <DesertRose> Just remember to lean over the rail AWAY from the wind if you need to be seasick.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:18:44 PM] <Alkari> LOL

[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:18:55 PM] <jemler> i wonder if Jehana went back to Bremagne after marrying Barrett. "Hey, Ruol! Meet you Deryni brother-in-law!"
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:18:56 PM] <the_Bee> rehi jerusha
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:18:58 PM] * Evie hands Jerusha the Magic Velcro
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:18:59 PM] <Shiral> Hard to look desirable if you're barfing into the sea
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:19:01 PM] <DesertRose> Rehi jerusha.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:19:02 PM] <jemler> rehi jerusha
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:19:14 PM] <KK> It they sail along the coast, it's calmer, but more dangerous in a way, because of danger of being driven onto rocks. It's also much longer. But straight across the Southern Sea to Point Kentar is open water, and not usually done except in late spring/summer.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:19:22 PM] <jerusha> Jehana is barfing into the sea?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:19:41 PM] <DesertRose> Well, usually seasickness settles down after you're at sea a bit.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:19:51 PM] <jemler> she'd need a breath mint the size of Archbishop Hubert!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:19:56 PM] <Shiral> Only if she's as poor a sailor as her son
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:19:56 PM] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:19:57 PM] <the_Bee> that's what we're wondering, Jerusha.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:20:19 PM] <Shiral> BRB, tea water's hot
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:20:43 PM] <KK> But Rob said it took place in Bremagne--which would be usual, for the marriage to take place in the bride's home..
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:20:50 PM] <jemler> tea water's cold, tea water's in the pot nine days old!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:21:14 PM] <jerusha> I'm having Earl Grey green tea
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:21:36 PM] <Evie> So you are sticking to the Codex timeline, but having the wedding be by proxy?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:21:37 PM] <jerusha> It does help to have the groom there, though
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:21:52 PM] <jemler> grey green? doesn't sound like a healthy combination.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:21:56 PM] * the_Bee sets out a jar of honey for those who light their tea swet.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:22:01 PM] <Evie> So when does Jehana finally get to be with Brion? (I nearly typed Jerusha! ;-) )
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:22:03 PM] <the_Bee> or swet
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:22:17 PM] <jemler> or sweet
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:22:21 PM] <jerusha> Me? With Brion? OK!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:22:25 PM] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:23:01 PM] <jemler> Jerusha and Brion, Evie and Duncan, we're rewriting your books for you KK!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:23:10 PM] <the_Bee> My computer has developed the habit of skiping on double letters.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:23:11 PM] <Shiral> You'll be so much calmer a wife for him, Jerusha! =o)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:23:26 PM] <jemler> that's QUEEN JERUSHA!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:23:30 PM] <jerusha> Don't bet on it
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:23:34 PM] <Alkari> And you wouldn't be prejudiced against Deryni and Alaric Morgan ;)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:24:00 PM] <Evie> Can't have the Queen being more fond of Alaric than her own husband, though. ;-)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:24:00 PM] <Shiral> Uh oh... would she pull a Guinivere with Alaric, though?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:24:08 PM] <jerusha> That would be true. Though I might run down the royal treasury a bit :)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:24:12 PM] <Shiral> KK might end up writing La Morte de Morgan
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:24:33 PM] <jerusha> I'll run off with Morgan any day - or night
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:24:38 PM] <jemler> fine. if you want to take on Richenda in a Duel Arcane!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:24:49 PM] <jerusha> I'm ready!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:24:53 PM] <the_Bee> Wel I asume they'd al be unhapy if Alaric outlived Kelson.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:25:35 PM] <Alkari> LOL at the 'duel for Alaric' idea
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:25:40 PM] <Shiral> I have a feeling that Jehana was a bit "high maintenance" herself
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:25:52 PM] <Alkari> But I wouldn't like to tackle an angry Richenda ...
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:26:17 PM] <Shiral> She would be formidable
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:26:24 PM] <jerusha> True
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:26:43 PM] <jemler> Fully trained.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:26:45 PM] <Shiral> And Brion would feel betrayed
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:27:08 PM] <KK> Have a heart, guys. Alaric is still only 12.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:27:09 PM] <Evie> brb...checking to see if sealer coat on the mini gittern has dried
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:27:10 PM] <jerusha> It's probably not a good idea to tick off your husband the king
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:27:12 PM] <the_Bee> by Richenda?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:27:17 PM] <jemler> Donal wouldn't.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:28:27 PM] <jerusha> He's a wiser 12 now, though
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:28:31 PM] <Evie> back
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:28:51 PM] <the_Bee> Remind me: Was it Donal or Donal's father who was maried to Roisian of Meara?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:28:59 PM] <Evie> If this is "matte" sealer, i'd hate to see the gloss sealer
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:29:04 PM] <jemler> Malcolm married Roisian
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:29:08 PM] <jerusha> Donal's father, I think
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:29:12 PM] <the_Bee> ah, thanks
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:29:21 PM] <Evie> Yes
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:30:09 PM] <Shiral> There's nothing slower to dry than watched Sealer

[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:30:25 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12hi all
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:30:27 PM] <the_Bee> Hi DF
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:30:29 PM] <Evie> Pretty name, Roisian, at least if it's pronounced the way I think (ro-sheen). rather sad marriage, though, IIRC
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:30:33 PM] <jemler> hi df
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:30:33 PM] <jerusha> Hi DF64
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:30:40 PM] <Shiral> Richard sure has to cover a lot of territory in nasty weather, though
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:30:42 PM] <Shiral> Hi DF
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:30:58 PM] <Evie> Oh, it's dry, Shiral. Just not matte, and it was supposed to be a matte sealer
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:30:59 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12just saw the Oz movie this afternoon
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:31:02 PM] <jerusha> Did Richard stand as the proxy?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:31:07 PM] <the_Bee> I wonder how Roisian felt, seing her twin sister executed.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:31:17 PM] <Shiral> Bad, for a guess.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:31:30 PM] <jerusha> I think she retired to a convent
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:31:53 PM] <Evie> yeah, I took that to mean she voted with her feet, so to speak
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:31:53 PM] <KK> Yes, Richard stands. But he can go overland, if he needs to.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:32:14 PM] <jerusha> Didn't her twin, Caitlin, survive, or do I have that wrong?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:32:37 PM] <Shiral> Annalind lives for a while, but is then captured and executed
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:32:37 PM] <Evie> I think Annalind was the twin? or something like that?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:32:53 PM] <the_Bee> There was a third sister. Who maried a Ramsay
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:33:01 PM] <Shiral> Magrette
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:33:14 PM] <Alkari> Richard would only have to do a short crossing from say Coroth to the Hort of Orsal. i he was going overland?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:33:14 PM] <Evie> Should it scare me that I know more about Mearan/Gwyneddan genealogies than my own? ;-)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:33:34 PM] <Shiral> It doesn't surprise me, Evie. =o)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:33:38 PM] <jerusha> Not at all, Evie!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:33:44 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12I can trace mine back to the late 1600's
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:34:17 PM] <Shiral> I leave genealogy to the members of my family who are willing to do the actual research
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:34:24 PM] <the_Bee> only if you're trying to prove that you're a Gwyneddan or a Mearan
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:34:26 PM] <Evie> Well, the fact I'm sitting here playing at being a medieval 1:6 scale luthier ought to prove I have no life. ;-)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:34:40 PM] <Shiral> I know that on my father's side, we go back to Chartres, France
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:34:53 PM] <DesertRose> I've traced mine on ancestry.com back to Eleanor of Aquitaine and even further back, which is fascinating. It's a horrendous time-suck, ancestry.com. :)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:35:14 PM] <jerusha> Neat, Desert Rose
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:35:18 PM] <the_Bee> I'm allegedly descended from Old King Cole.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:35:26 PM] <Alkari> We have ours back for at least 6 generations on both sides, so I am not worried about much further
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:35:49 PM] <jemler> my mother's family came from Scotland in 1793, my fathers from Germany in 1803.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:35:50 PM] <DesertRose> I can't actually get past 1814 on my father's direct line though.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:36:05 PM] <Shiral> As soon as I realized I wasn't related to any Haldanes, I just said bag it
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:36:06 PM] <KK> He has to go to Arkadia first, to see about retrieving Xenia's body. And by then, as the weather shuts down, he takes the decision to go on to Bremagne, figuring he can stand in for Brion if Brion can't make it--and indeed, Brion shouldn't try, because Richard won't be in Rhemuth to be regent.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:36:18 PM] <Alkari> I got what was supposed to be 'temporary' membership of Ancestry.com, but they kept on and on sending me emails and wouldn't let me unsubscribe
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:36:22 PM] <jemler> My mothers family in Scotland was Clan Donaldson.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:36:41 PM] <Shiral> So does Richard approve of his nephew's bride?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:36:44 PM] <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:36:46 PM] <DesertRose> My parents have a membership to ancestry.com, and they let me use their account.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:36:49 PM] <Alkari> I hope Richard likes spending long hours in the saddle in bad weather!!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:37:17 PM] <jerusha> Too late not to approve!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:37:39 PM] <jerusha> That may come later
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:37:44 PM] <Shiral> Or maybe there were times when he thought "thank goodness I was only the Proxy!"
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:38:11 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12:D
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:38:21 PM] <KK> Oh, he approves. It's an excellent match.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:38:30 PM] <Alkari> LOL @ SHrial. You mean, when crockery was flying?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:38:32 PM] <jerusha> Do Brion and Jehana have a second marriage in Rhemuth?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:38:45 PM] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:38:51 PM] <KK> And she's crowned queen.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:38:54 PM] <Shiral> Well yes. She's a beautiful rich virginal princess
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:39:14 PM] <jemler> yeah, right
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:39:26 PM] <Shiral> Alkari, exactly
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:39:29 PM] <jerusha> Except for the hating Deryni part
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:39:30 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12JEMLER!!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:39:31 PM] <Evie> When does Richard get to marry his beautiful rich virginal princess?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:39:38 PM] <Shiral> Later
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:39:48 PM] <the_Bee> Considering what K has said about Bremagni women...
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:39:59 PM] <jerusha> Alaric winks
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:40:15 PM] <KK> That's the court ladies. Convent-educated princesses are a different story.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:40:16 PM] <Shiral> Well yes, but Jehana would have been very closely supervised
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:40:19 PM] <Evie> I suspect the princesses are pretty well chaperoned
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:40:41 PM] <Shiral> Duennas all over the place
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:40:51 PM] <jemler> by fair-haierd young men the king thinks he can trust!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:40:52 PM] <KK> Of course, the Haldane princesses were closely chaperoned, too--but look what happens to Xenia.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:40:56 PM] <jerusha> Didn't work for Xenia
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:41:00 PM] <Alkari> Yes - steely, eagle eyed nuns and stern armed guards!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:41:10 PM] <Shiral> She slipped the net
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:41:41 PM] <Shiral> almost as much prisoner as princess!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:41:42 PM] <Evie> I'd say maybe Jehana's abbess should have warned her about men instead of Deryni, but in that case Jehana would have become a nun and Kelson wouldn't have been born
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:41:47 PM] <KK> It was a Deryni who seduced her.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:42:14 PM] <Shiral> "Why don't you take a nice nap, Miss Duenna?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:42:32 PM] <Evie> "I'm not the cad you're looking for. Move along."
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:42:32 PM] <the_Bee> "her" being Xenia, I presume.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:42:34 PM] <jerusha> Puts Alaric in a bad spot
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:42:41 PM] <Evie> *deryni hand wave*
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:43:06 PM] <KK> No, Alaric discovered them.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:43:18 PM] <KK> And nearly got mind-ripped for his trouble.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:43:29 PM] <jerusha> Ouch
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:43:39 PM] <Shiral> Good heavens, I hope he's a fast runner!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:43:42 PM] <Evie> poor kid!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:43:57 PM] <jerusha> Still, it puts his heritage in a bad light
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:44:37 PM] <Shiral> Sigismund is a naughty, naughty Count!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:45:16 PM] <KK> He's lucky that Sigismund didn't realize who he was, at first. That's why Alaric was able to run away.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:45:17 PM] <jerusha> You are being very polite, Shiral
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:45:41 PM] <Shiral> Okay, Sigismund is a rotter!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:45:59 PM] <jemler> rotter or rutter?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:46:05 PM] <jerusha> Jemler!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:46:06 PM] <DesertRose> jemler!!!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:46:06 PM] <Evie> Yes
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:46:11 PM] * Shiral swats Jemler with a Lobster
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:46:13 PM] <the_Bee> both
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:46:17 PM] <Alkari> both
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:46:31 PM] <jemler> you forgot the melted butter!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:46:46 PM] * DesertRose dumps melted butter on jemler's head.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:46:53 PM] * Shiral dips Jemler in melted butter
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:46:54 PM] * Evie lobs a crock of melted butter at jemler's head
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:47:02 PM] <DesertRose> Got enough butter now? :P
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:47:02 PM] <jerusha> Jerusha adds a clove of garlic
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:47:02 PM] <Alkari> Do we have to lightly grill / broil him forst?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:47:07 PM] <Alkari> * first
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:47:09 PM] <Shiral> There, that takes care of the butter issue
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:47:09 PM] <jemler> he's a rotten rutter? oooo1
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:47:36 PM] <DesertRose> No, we shouldn't broil the jemler. Maybe the lobster, though.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:47:54 PM] <jerusha> How long after the marriage in Rhemuth is the conflict with the Marluk, KK?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:47:54 PM] <Evie> So what's next, after the proxy wedding?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:48:31 PM] <jemler> the proxy honeymoon!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:48:31 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12do we need tar and feathers too
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:48:40 PM] <DesertRose> And a rail?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:48:54 PM] <DesertRose> jemler!!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:49:05 PM] <KK> A couple of years.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:49:06 PM] * DesertRose beats jemler with wet spaghetti noodles.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:50:04 PM] <DesertRose> Did I kill chat?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:50:07 PM] <jerusha> So it is a while before Jehana conceives
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:50:32 PM] <the_Bee> after an interval at a convent
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:50:35 PM] <Shiral> Or at least before she carries a baby to term
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:50:53 PM] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:51:01 PM] <jerusha> Were there pregnancies before keelson?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:51:12 PM] <jerusha> Kelson
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:51:41 PM] <jemler> of course there were. Brion and Jehana had to bo born first! :)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:51:57 PM] * jemler ducks
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:52:00 PM] <jerusha> Jerusha lobs a smelt at Jemler
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:52:05 PM] <Alkari> About 2 years before she has Kelson, isn't it? If Alaric has just turned 14 and inherited Corwyn
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:52:10 PM] <KK> Speaking of such, Duchess Catherine assisted P William with giving shamrock to the Irish Guards today, as she did solo last year, and you can now definitely tell that she's pregnant. She looked great.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:52:33 PM] <Alkari> I hope she is over that awful morning sickness she had, poor thing
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:52:43 PM] <the_Bee> Cool!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:53:13 PM] <DesertRose> I hope so too. Hyperemesis gravidarum is no fun, from what I hear.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:53:17 PM] <jemler> if William is smarter than his father (a distinct possibility), he'll keep this wife.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:53:23 PM] <the_Bee> I wonder what they'll name the baby.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:53:45 PM] <jemler> Diana
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:53:46 PM] <jerusha> Rumour has it that it is a girl
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:54:09 PM] <Shiral> Well, if they have trouble deciding at least they know that royal babies can have three or four names. =o)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:54:16 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:54:17 PM] <the_Bee> Diana Victoria Elizabeth
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:54:19 PM] <Alkari> I 8so* hope they don't call it Diana!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:54:27 PM] <Alkari> UGH!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:54:28 PM] <the_Bee> ?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:54:41 PM] <jerusha> Diana would be a bit awkward on many counts
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:54:48 PM] <Alkari> Exactly.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:55:11 PM] <Evie> Given that she was William's mother, I imagine he'll want to honor her by naming a child for her, even if it's not as a first name
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:55:14 PM] <jerusha> A fresh start would be better
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:55:21 PM] <KK> No, they haven't reavealed what it is yet. That was a false alarm. Apparently Catherine is hoping ofr a boy, and William would like a little girl.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:56:04 PM] <jemler> my neice and my cousin are having girls.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:56:15 PM] <Alkari> Yes Evie, but Diana as a first name would not be tactful - OK as a middle name
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:56:18 PM] <KK> A possible name for a girl has been suggested as Elizabeth Diana Carole, but I don't think Carole fits at all, even though it's Kate's mother's name.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:56:43 PM] <DesertRose> No, that doesn't flow well at all.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:56:46 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12we'll just have to wait and see
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:56:50 PM] <jerusha> Elizabeth Diana Victoria would be OK
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:56:58 PM] <Shiral> I especially hope they don't choose Diana if it's a boy
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:57:04 PM] <Evie> There's precedent for Caroline, though, isn't there? That would be close to Carole
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:57:06 PM] <Alkari> Well, I like the idea of them going outside 'accepted' royal names
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:57:07 PM] <DesertRose> Seriously, Shiral?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:57:11 PM] <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:57:12 PM] <KK> Maybe Elizabeth Victoria Diana, or something of that ilk.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:57:15 PM] <jerusha> Now that would be awkward
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:57:19 PM] <Alkari> Caroline would be fine, agree
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:57:19 PM] <Evie> LOL, Shiral!
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:57:23 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, there have been Princesses Caroline.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:57:56 PM] <KK> If it's a girl, she'll be queen someday, so Diana would not go over well. If it's a boy, a later girl oculd have less traditional names.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:58:04 PM] <Shiral> Perhaps it should be Elizabeth Catherine Roisian
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:58:08 PM] <Alkari> Agree, KK.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:58:20 PM] <jemler> if they have agirl and then a boy, how does the order of succession go?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:58:24 PM] <DesertRose> Diana as a middle name would be fine, I think.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:58:29 PM] <KK> It's firstborn first.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:58:31 PM] <Evie> The girl inherits
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:58:32 PM] <DesertRose> They just changed the law.
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:58:33 PM] <the_Bee> What was that ancient British Queen? Boudicca?
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:58:45 PM] <jerusha> Something like that
[Sunday, March 17, 2013] [07:58:58 PM] <KK> No one can say that one, so it definitely wouldn't show up in a string of royal names.

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
