[16:43:42] <AEves_Spirit> HI KK
[16:44:00] <KK> So, what's Tika making up words about?
[16:44:13] <@Tika> we always have leftovers from the mexican place... their portions are portulent (is that a word???)
[16:44:28] <@Tika> copied from just prior to your arrival, KK :)
[16:44:30] <KK> LOL. Loks like a good word to me!
[16:44:35] <@Tika> hehehe

[16:44:45] *** Joins: Mike
[16:44:55] <@Jessie> wb Mike
[16:45:00] <@Tika> wb Mike, you are just in time!
[16:45:00] <Kiri`> ok here it is..
[16:45:01] <Kiri`> http://www.angelfire.com/pq/kyri/fianna.html
[16:45:10] <AEves_Spirit> Is that a contraction of portly and corpulent (what I would be like after eating too much Mexican food)
[16:45:21] <@Jessie> lol
[16:45:26] <@KK> Has to do with portions, too, I expect.
[16:45:32] <@KK> Fat portions.
[16:45:35] <AEves_Spirit> lol
[16:45:43] <@Tika> precisely!
[16:45:44] <Kiri`> Glux - are you on via mirc or java?
[16:45:49] <Mike> My puter decided to time out without asking that time. GGG
[16:46:04] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Greetings, Katherine... I must apologise for being a bit late on the greet, tho.
[16:46:28] <Mike> Belated welcome to you KK. I was here moments ago
[16:46:33] * Kelos_al-Hazar hands KK a cup of steaming Earl Grey tea
[16:46:36] <@KK> So, whatcha been talking about this afternoon?
[16:46:42] *** Joins: great_hooded_one
[16:46:42] * Kiri` says: "The curtains flutter by the wide open windows, letting the sun stream in. The doors to the gardens are open and you can see the flowers blooming along the cobbled walks. The buffet is groaning with delectable fare, and the carafe's are brimming with Fianna Variatals and other refreshments. Underneath are delights for the fur, fin and feathers crowd =) Enjoy!"
[16:46:46] <hygilac> KK, Laura sends her regrets to miss the chat, but she is on duty tomorrow
[16:46:49] <Kiri`> for KK's benefit
[16:47:17] <Kiri`> Hi! great_hooded_one
[16:47:28] <great_hooded_one> hello
[16:47:36] <AEves_Spirit> Hi great_hooded_one
[16:47:38] <@Jessie> Haven't been talking about a great deal of stuff Deryni -- but are always anxious to hear how writing is going
[16:47:41] <Mike> Will LBM be here tonight?
[16:47:41] <@KK> Happy to report that our latest fur person, Nicholas, has now definitely figured out how to run the dog-gauntlet, and is this evening At Home.
[16:47:51] <@Jessie> hello great_hooded_one
[16:47:57] <@Jessie> that is excellent Katherine
[16:48:18] <@Jessie> that is excellent Katherine
[16:48:22] <Kiri`> dog gaunlet?
[16:48:22] <hygilac> Who is LBM?
[16:48:25] <@KK> Don't know if LBM will be here or not. I was astonished that she was here last week.
[16:48:28] <Kiri`> KK's mom
[16:48:33] <@Tika> is Nicholas a feline fur person then?
[16:48:33] <Mike> KK's mom!
[16:48:48] <Kiri`> KK - I found a copy of Lammas night.. but don't know how to get it to your mom..
[16:48:51] <hygilac> how neat!
[16:48:53] <@KK> Dog-gauntlet--the run past the dogs to reach the sanctuary of the master bedroom and bath, where the dogs can't follow.
[16:49:04] <Kiri`> awww poor nicholas.
[16:49:17] <@KK> Yes, Nicholas is a red tabby fur person, just over a year old.
[16:49:21] <@Jessie> poor dogs -- not allowed in the master bedroom?
[16:49:32] <@Tika> oh he's about the same age as the fruit kitty then ;)
[16:49:41] <@Bynw> nope no LBM this week... I havent seen her online to remind her, Katherine
[16:49:48] <@KK> No, because they'd bug the cats, who have always been allowed to sleep on the bed. The dogs would crush us.
[16:49:56] <@KK> Plus, I don't like to sleep with doggy smell.
[16:50:16] <@KK> The fruit kitty?
[16:50:17] <hygilac> I don't blame you at all!
[16:50:19] * Kiri` agrees that wet dog isn't the best smell..
[16:50:26] <@KK> Fruit kitty?
[16:50:29] <@Tika> hehehe
[16:50:34] * Kelos_al-Hazar finds a platter of frozen chocolate-covered bananas and passes it around, cautioning about the cold plate
[16:50:43] <@KK> Plus, yes, the dogs often come in wet, and then would leap onto the bed.
[16:50:43] <@Tika> Samantha loves fruit... you should have seen her this afternoon when Bynw had a bowl of cherries
[16:50:44] <hygilac> dog-who-has encountered-skunk is far worse, tho
[16:50:44] * Kiri` ooohs.. and takes a banana
[16:50:58] <Kiri`> try cranberry juice tika =)
[16:51:01] <@Tika> watch it Kiri, she may come thru the computer for that LOL
[16:51:07] <@Tika> bananas are her favorite
[16:51:13] <Kiri`> my Mim demands the stuff.
[16:51:25] <@Jessie> How has writing been going this week Katherine? Get a lot done on Childe Morgan?
[16:51:27] <Mike> And once on the bed, they would shake, shake, SHAKE! Right?
[16:51:31] <Kiri`> KK - ever fed yor dogs a pickle? *their faces are priceless*
[16:51:51] <@KK> No, they'd flop--and crush us.
[16:51:51] * Kelos_al-Hazar notices a plate of freshly sliced Granny Smith apples and passes them around as well
[16:51:52] *** Joins: Dennis
[16:52:02] <@Jessie> hello Dennis
[16:52:09] <Dennis> Hello
[16:52:12] <hygilac> Hi Dennis
[16:52:14] <AEves_Spirit> HI Dennis
[16:52:16] <@KK> They do like baked beans, one bean at a time. So do the cats.
[16:52:35] <Mike> *LOL* At the thought of a dog pucker.
[16:52:54] <hygilac> I had a cat once who would eat tomatoes in any form from fresh to sauce
[16:53:01] <Kiri`> mike - jessie.. opinions?
[16:53:14] <@KK> Well, writing-wise, I didn't drown the kid; was busy getting two members of the CC in to try to have a closer look at Sief's body. On the second attempt, they're about to succeed.
[16:53:35] <AEves_Spirit> sounds intriguing
[16:53:42] <@Tika> yayyyy progress! :)
[16:53:45] <hygilac> who is Sief?
[16:53:55] <Kiri`> in where? *curious*
[16:54:27] <@KK> I didn't get as much writing done as I would have liked--had to get Scott off on a plane for D.C. on Friday, and had plasterers on Thursday and Friday--and the plumber yesterday. But the front guest bathroom now has new taps on tub and sink, a new wall, tub back in, and is ready to tile.
[16:54:39] * Kelos_al-Hazar wonders why his mother refuses to even consider coming to the chatroom... and frowns slightly
[16:54:56] <@KK> Sief is--or was--the husband of Jessamy, who has just borne Donal a son.
[16:55:08] <@Jessie> Sief MacAthan --
[16:55:11] <hygilac> ah ha
[16:55:17] <Kiri`> does this mean you'll writing from your bath?
[16:55:17] *** Joins: Shiral
[16:55:22] <@Jessie> hello Shiral
[16:55:22] <Kiri`> hi melissa!
[16:55:25] <hygilac> ni Melissa
[16:55:25] <@Bynw> Hiyas Melissa
[16:55:25] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Shiral
[16:55:39] <@Shiral> Yo, all
[16:55:42] <@KK> Hi, Melissa. Are you at the library or at home?
[16:55:56] <@Shiral> Library, Alas. Don't be surprised if I'm quiet today.
[16:56:05] * Kelos_al-Hazar wonders where auntiedi is...and if she's gotten her Inter Library Loan Codex yet...
[16:56:11] <@KK> I hear that you and Jasta are preparing to commit fiction again.
[16:56:14] <AEves_Spirit> Hi Melissa
[16:56:19] <Mike> I'm still waiting for the page to load Kiri
[16:56:24] <@Shiral> <Guilty Grin> Yeah..... we are.
[16:56:28] <Golux> Hello Melissa
[16:56:39] <@Jessie> Kiri: private message
[16:56:53] <Kiri`> jess - saw it =) thanks
[16:56:53] <Golux> I just got the photos from Rob's visit back
[16:57:05] <@KK> I'm going to start reading your bound manuscript tonight; finished The Emperor's New Kilt last night--which is about hidden parts of Scottish history.
[16:57:26] <Kelos_al-Hazar> I did a good deed, KK...turned #104 back in 5 days early, to help Auntiedi get a look at the Codex a little faster.
[16:57:27] <@Tika> hey Shiral, sorry for the delay :)
[16:57:49] <@KK> Well done, Kelos.
[16:57:56] <@Shiral> Delay, Tika?
[16:58:00] <@Tika> in greetings
[16:58:17] <@Shiral> Oh. That's okay. I'm having delayed reactions all over the place today.
[16:58:18] <hygilac> wehr eis JastaElf today?
[16:58:28] <@Tika> hmmm good question
[16:58:34] <@Jessie> Katherine: is the adept 6 anywhere in the possible future?
[16:58:36] <@KK> She may be off doing that wedding.
[16:58:40] <@Bynw> not on AIM at the moment
[16:58:43] <Kiri`> she said she'd try to make it today.. i think she's working *not positive about that*
[16:58:53] <@Jessie> Jasta had to work -- was going to try to be here
[16:58:55] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Least I could do...I didn't really want to give up the Codex, naturally, but since auntiedi had a request in, I did it to help her get one ASAP.
[16:58:58] <@KK> Possible--but Ace has to want it soon as well.
[16:59:01] <@Shiral> KK, I hope you'll enjoy Cedric and Dafydd.
[16:59:14] * Shiral collapses to the ground with nerves.
[16:59:26] <@Jessie> really -- do you think that Ace will want it
[16:59:27] <@Tika> hey now none of that....
[16:59:27] <Mike> Sorry, Kiri. The page won't load for me *pout*
[16:59:28] <@KK> That's right; Jasta told me yesterday that she'd been working god-awful hours.
[16:59:28] <hygilac> Cand D is a great story
[16:59:33] <hygilac> despite the potatoes
[16:59:49] <@Shiral> She has, poor lamb
[17:00:01] <@KK> Shiral need not collapse; she's a very good writer.
[17:00:02] <Kiri`> mike.. hmm I"ll send the pics hang on.
[17:00:14] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Anytime one works on a Sunday is classified as god-awful hours, IMHO.
[17:00:30] <hygilac> true
[17:00:32] * Shiral blushes like raspberry with bad sunburn
[17:00:33] <@Bynw> I agree with that Kelos
[17:00:41] <@Jessie> Do you think that Ace will want it (i.e. Adept 6) -- is there really a possibility that Ace won't want it?
[17:00:42] <Dennis> Unless they don't have to work for the rest of the week. :)
[17:00:55] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Melissa: That was not meant as a slap to you, milady.
[17:01:33] *** Joins: Kelric 
[17:01:38] <Kiri`> Mike - they are headed your way.
[17:01:40] <@Jessie> hello Kelric
[17:01:45] <Kelric> hi all
[17:01:46] <@KK> They'll want it; just a question of when. Actually, the 3rd Templar book is probably the next joint project with DTH. The first 2 are selling <very> well, as of kind words from Betsy Mitchell this past week.
[17:01:47] <Mike> Thanx!
[17:02:15] * Tika finished book 3 of the Adept and is taking a short sabbatical prior to book 4.... and after book 5 will start the Templar books
[17:02:16] <@KK> Hi, Kelric.
[17:02:23] <hygilac> I bought Temple and Crown in DC last week
[17:02:32] <Kelos_al-Hazar> On my business flyers, it is quite clearly stated that the day is more important than the dollar...but if someone has an urgent need for my assistance, they'll have to pay double time for the privilege.
[17:02:33] * Jessie would love to see Adept 6
[17:02:46] <Kelric> well, my HB collection just expanded. Bishops Heir and King's Justice in book club versions for 75 cents each
[17:02:47] <@KK> Then, you've contributed to its success; thankyou!
[17:02:48] <@Tika> just finished it hygilac.... excellent stuff ;)
[17:02:56] <@Shiral> I don't feel slapped, Kelos. Don't worry. I'm just having to keep popping out.
[17:03:03] <Kiri`> has the adept books.
[17:03:11] * Shiral is also looking forward to Adept 6
[17:03:13] * Bynw needs the Templar Books and is awaiting of course for the unwritten Adept 6, Childe Morgan and the unpublished Deryni Tales for the Green Tower :-)
[17:03:16] <Kelric> me too
[17:03:26] *** Joins: madeleine
[17:03:26] <@Tika> LOL he doesn't want much does he?
[17:03:27] * zouron chuckles at bynw
[17:03:32] <@Jessie> hello madeleine
[17:03:40] <madeleine> Hello All
[17:03:42] * Kiri` is holdingout for the jodotha and orin tales.. *also places bid for airsid book*
[17:03:46] <Gamgee> yea! Flood the market with KK books!
[17:03:48] * Kelos_al-Hazar hasn't access to the Adept books...local library system doesn't have them.
[17:03:51] * Jessie thinks that Bynw worded that very tactfully
[17:03:53] <@KK> There's another Templar anthology that I have to put together in the fall, too--and write a story for it.
[17:04:03] <Mike> I'm just waiting on the Codex and the anthology and Childe Morgan
[17:04:16] * Kelric pats Kelos on the back in sympathy.
[17:04:18] * Jessie is WAITING for it all ;-)
[17:04:32] <hygilac> me too
[17:04:36] <@Tika> and she's doing such a good job of being patient!
[17:04:45] <@Tika> unlike some people who hold their breath and turn blue.... ;)
[17:04:53] <Kelric> hehe
[17:04:53] <@Bynw> LOL
[17:04:54] * Jessie thanks Tika for understanding
[17:04:57] <@Tika> not naming anyone here mind you ;)
[17:04:59] <@Tika> hehehehe
[17:05:00] <@Shiral> Bynw has no idea what you mean, Tika!
[17:05:05] <Mike> KK, I manual order Deryni books for the store so that we always have them in stock
[17:05:17] <Kelos_al-Hazar> I do, however, have access to the Shelby County library system (albeit for a charge per year) and their system is about 3x the size of Chilton County's...
[17:05:23] <@KK> Well done, Mike!
[17:05:24] * Jessie hands mike a plate of chocolates
[17:05:26] <Mike> BUT, I haven't been able to get Lammas Night
[17:05:45] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Tried www.half.com, Mike?
[17:05:51] <Mike> MMM! Thanks for the chocolates!
[17:05:56] <@KK> I <must> find out from Ballantine what its status is.
[17:06:13] <@Jessie> the chocolates were to thank you for keeping KK books in stock Mike
[17:06:23] <Mike> Kelos, I order from our warehouse.
[17:06:26] <hygilac> I told the saleslady at tne national Cathedral she should stock St. Patrick's Gargoyle as part of the shop's collection on gargoyles
[17:06:30] <@KK> I've also got a query in to Bantam re Two Crowns, which is OP but apparently available via Print on Demand. I'm trying to find out how that works.
[17:06:56] * Bynw liked Two Crowns
[17:07:02] * Kelos_al-Hazar wishes, not for the first time, that he made enough to be able to buy a book every month, but it's simply not possible...AND make it to Darkover.
[17:07:17] <Mike> I guess if the author demands it, they will print it!
[17:07:27] <Kelos_al-Hazar> LOL!
[17:07:31] <@Jessie> market demands it they will print it
[17:07:36] <@KK> I think that if readers demand, they print it.
[17:07:55] <Kelos_al-Hazar> It is also possible that if you order it, they will print a copy for you.
[17:07:56] * Kiri` hurridely arranges a mob to storm the publisher... *hands out torches* ;)
[17:07:57] <Mike> I see.
[17:08:06] <@Jessie> Katherine: which 2 CC members were snuck in to look at Sief's body?
[17:08:09] <Kelos_al-Hazar> That seems the most likely scenario.
[17:08:29] <@KK> Seisyll Arilan and Michon de Courcy.
[17:08:40] <@Jessie> ooohhhh -- the big guns
[17:08:46] * Kelric just checked half.com and they don't have Lammas Night :(
[17:08:47] <hygilac> ah ha
[17:08:50] <Kiri`> is that /Cecil/ ?
[17:09:00] <@Jessie> no Seisyll
[17:09:08] <Dennis> I have a question for Katherine. Are we going to see Brion and Nigel's brothers? The ones that died young, accoding to Codex?
[17:09:10] <hygilac> pronounced how?
[17:09:11] <Kelos_al-Hazar> www.biblofind.com might have a lead on it.
[17:09:13] <@KK> Well, Arilan is the only member of the council who's also an "official" courtier, and therefore able to move about the court easily.
[17:09:17] <Gamgee> setting up a press just to print ONE copy of a book?????? that would be expensive.
[17:09:20] <@Jessie> good question Dennis
[17:09:29] * Shiral can tell she's already missed some interesting info..
[17:09:29] <Kiri`> no.. thats a pronuciation query. / letters here / indicates a pronuncation key
[17:09:34] <Dennis> Thanks, Jessie. :)
[17:09:59] <@KK> It's a computer printout of some sort, Gamgee.
[17:10:30] <@KK> Yes, we'll see Brion and Nigel's brothers, at least briefly.
[17:10:38] <@Shiral> Cool!
[17:10:43] <AEves_Spirit> Have to say goodnight all. Sorry it's a short stay again tonight.
[17:10:49] <Kiri`> at the top of my wishlist is a hardbound copy of Lammas Night...
[17:10:49] <@Shiral> Night, Aeve
[17:10:50] <@Jessie> Katherine: how is the pronounciation guide coming along (i.e. the one that is supposed to go on the Deryni Destination Website)?
[17:10:51] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Which I hope you get royalties from if it's the same price as a paperback (or more expensive...).
[17:10:52] <Dennis> Thank you, Katherine.
[17:10:55] <@Jessie> night Aeve
[17:10:57] <@KK> Night, Aeve.
[17:10:59] <zouron> laers æves
[17:11:03] *** Quits: AEves_Spirit (QUIT: User exited)
[17:11:17] <@KK> I do get royalties of some sort. That's part of what I'm trying to find out.
[17:11:45] <@KK> Zouron, I've not seen you here before. Who are you?
[17:12:19] <@KK> Madeleine, too.
[17:12:20] <Kelos_al-Hazar> What the heck is this? I typed in www.biblofind.com and got www.megago.com! I smell a rat.
[17:12:22] <zouron> KK> pretty new actually someone bynw is trying to convert to read your books ;-) (just seem hard to find and have money at the same time to do get a copy)
[17:12:56] <@KK> LOL. Yay, Bynw! Well, welcome, Zouron.
[17:13:06] <@Tika> zouron don't be so modest... you are a host at the Wizards.com web site too :)
[17:13:13] * Bynw converts EVERYONE to read the Deryni and other KK works
[17:13:16] <Mike> Bynw, loan zouron some books!
[17:13:16] <zouron> KK> thank you :-) and now you have to suffer with the presence of the crazy dane ;-)
[17:13:31] <madeleine> KK, I have been here once or twice. But I have been reading your books for some time. Big fan.:)
[17:13:40] <Gamgee> there are 8 copies of Lammas Night listed at www.abe.com......
[17:13:41] <zouron> Tika> actually I got the kick for behaving too nice and buddy like
[17:13:50] <@Tika> heh, figures
[17:13:55] <@KK> Well, I usually hang out here about this time on Sundays, if I'm at home.
[17:14:02] <@Tika> you know Bynw and I met in the AOL version of that room :)
[17:14:22] * zouron nods and knows
[17:14:30] <@Shiral> Bynw, in my case you're preaching to the converted. <G>
[17:14:54] <madeleine> I am quite often buzy at this time, but I try to come if I can.
[17:14:58] <@Bynw> I know everyone here already is a member of the choir... it's the folks from outside Shiral :-)
[17:15:00] <zouron> KK> no worries personally I am around soemwhere always hehe
[17:15:20] <Kelric> time to go back to work. see you all later...
[17:15:21] * zouron snickers at bynw
[17:15:25] <@KK> Hey, Hood, are you awake?
[17:15:29] <@Shiral> Yes, we must reach beyond the Faithful, Bynw

[17:16:47] <Richenda> HI KK, nice to meet you

[17:17:01] <@Tika> hey Richenda, glad to see you made the chat! :)
[17:17:03] <Richenda> hi melissa
[17:17:05] <Mike> Katherine, have you made any inquiries this week about the St Camber medals?
[17:17:11] <Richenda> yes i almost didn't
[17:17:32] <@KK> I ordered the catalog from the online place I mentioned; it hasn't arrived yet.
[17:17:37] <great_hooded_one> yes, and the first week of summer school is already done
[17:17:41] <Mike> Okay, thanks
[17:17:47] <@Jessie> hello Richenda
[17:17:47] <hygilac> KK re the St. Camber Medals--Laura is going to email you
[17:18:05] <@KK> Good heavens! And how did you do on that paper you were writing some weeks ago?
[17:18:20] <Richenda> hi jessie
[17:18:34] <@Jessie> ;-) glad you could make it Richenda
[17:18:37] <Richenda> thanks
[17:18:47] <great_hooded_one> got an A-
[17:18:50] <great_hooded_one> pretty good considering the teacher
[17:18:54] <Richenda> yes, my little sisters fever went down
[17:19:03] <@KK> Not bad at all. ;-)
[17:19:09] <@Jessie> probably due to the nursing from her big sister Richenda
[17:19:33] <hygilac> who is logging this chat to post?
[17:19:33] * Kelos_al-Hazar fires up his newsreader...
[17:19:40] * Kelos_al-Hazar is
[17:19:48] <Kelos_al-Hazar> For one...Heh.
[17:19:52] <Richenda> maybe, i don't know, she told me that she threw up because i burped
[17:19:59] * hygilac is glad someone is; she needs to leave
[17:20:15] <Mike> I'll bet Jessie is too!
[17:20:24] * Kiri` has her log feature on..for a change
[17:21:05] <Richenda> so, how is everybody today?
[17:21:16] <hygilac> Goodnight everyone; see you all post-England trip
[17:21:21] * Kiri` 's feet are cold..
[17:21:24] <@Jessie> night hygilac
[17:21:27] <@Tika> have a great time hygilac!
[17:21:29] <Kiri`> night!
[17:21:29] <Dennis> Night!
[17:21:30] <@Shiral> KK, regarding Caradots, are they solitary beasts, or do they congregate in herds? <EG>
[17:21:31] <Richenda> night hygilac
[17:21:32] <@KK> Night, hygilac.
[17:21:32] <@Bynw> cya hygilac
[17:21:36] <@Shiral> Bye Linda.
[17:21:40] *** Quits: hygilac (QUIT: User exited)
[17:21:40] <@Shiral> Have a wonderful trip!
[17:21:41] <Mike> Mike humbly requests that if any of the deryni.net webmasters/mistresses get time, they would archive the chat transcripts on the website somewhere.
[17:21:43] * Kiri` demonstrates
[17:21:45] * Kiri` steps onto the transfer portal and is trampled by a horde of caradots....
[17:22:20] <@Bynw> that's a good idea Mike... I think I can arrange that
[17:22:31] <@Jessie> Katherine: if a person on portal A leaves for portal B -- but portal B is destroyed before the person arrives -- what happens to the person?
[17:22:37] <Mike> YAY! To both you and Kiri
[17:22:50] <@KK> Hopefuly, they only come singly, and are maybe even extinct!
[17:22:56] <great_hooded_one> that would be a quick portal destruction
[17:22:59] <Mike> I think people would love it!
[17:23:05] <@Bynw> very quick
[17:23:13] <@Tika> Jessie, sounds painful
[17:23:52] *** Joins: DianeK 
[17:24:01] <@Jessie> hello Diane
[17:24:04] <@KK> If the destination Portal is destroyed, it essentially isn't there anymore, is it, so the person just never gets out of Portal A.
[17:24:05] <Richenda> hi DianeK
[17:24:19] <DianeK> Hi, Everyone
[17:24:29] <@Jessie> what if they were materializing in B as it is destroyed -- would they be killed?
[17:24:34] <Kelos_al-Hazar> How long does a Portal Transfer take?
[17:24:38] <@KK> If they hit Portal B just as it's destroyed--again, that would depend on the timing, and how it's destroyed. I don't think I'd want to be there.
[17:24:41] <Kiri`> ouch! *doesn't like that idea*
[17:24:48] <@Tika> me either!!!
[17:24:52] <@Bynw> nor I Katherine
[17:24:53] <Richenda> what if two people are trying to go to the same portal at once, what happens?
[17:25:06] <Kiri`> Isn't there somthing about someone coming in.. Some sort of energy signal is someone is on the portal
[17:25:09] <@Jessie> from 2 different originating portals
[17:25:22] <Richenda> talking to me?
[17:25:30] <@Jessie> good question Richenda
[17:25:30] <@KK> Are we talking about Portal traffic jams?!
[17:25:34] <@Jessie> yes
[17:25:36] <Richenda> yes
[17:25:37] <@Tika> LOL
[17:25:55] *** Joins: Rambart20
[17:25:58] * Kiri` thinks jessie is talking more about portal traffic wrecks.. ;)
[17:26:00] <@Jessie> hello Bart
[17:26:00] <Richenda> hi
[17:26:06] <@Bynw> Hiyas Bart!
[17:26:07] <Kiri`> hi bart
[17:26:16] <@Tika> hey Rambart how's the corn? :)
[17:26:16] <Rambart20> Howdy Jessie, Howdy all
[17:26:21] <DianeK> Hi Bart
[17:26:25] <@KK> Well, they're possible in theory, though there aren't all that many Portals--hi, Bart--and not that many people who can use them, so real traffic jams would take some doing.
[17:26:28] <Rambart20> wilting under the heat
[17:26:41] * Kiri` waters art
[17:26:42] <Kiri`> bart
[17:27:04] <@Tika> ugh not good
[17:27:12] <@Bynw> is it going to be knee high by the 4th?
[17:27:16] <Rambart20> thanks Kiri
[17:27:21] <Rambart20> probably
[17:27:23] <Richenda> jessie, did lugano tell you he found some of the books
[17:27:28] <@KK> Or as high as an elephant's eye?
[17:27:28] <@Jessie> yes
[17:27:38] <@Jessie> i.e. yes Richenda
[17:27:50] <Rambart20> probably as high as the elephants eye
[17:27:55] <Kiri`> ray - ???? *waits patiently*
[17:28:15] <DianeK> And it looks like it's reachin' clear up to the sky?
[17:28:32] <Rambart20> yes
[17:28:40] <@KK> (Bart, do you ever get tired to such questions?)
[17:28:44] <Rambart20> cannot spell this afternoon
[17:28:44] <@KK> of
[17:28:56] <Rambart20> not really
[17:28:56] <great_hooded_one> did you ask me something kiri? if you did i can't find it
[17:29:21] <Rambart20> I have five kids asking me questions all the time
[17:29:25] <@Shiral> Hi Bart
[17:29:32] <Rambart20> hey Melissa
[17:29:43] <@Tika> for those of you who are VERY curious about the corn in Iowa..... http://corncam.com ;)
[17:29:44] * Bynw is originally from Iowa and just wants to know what's happening
[17:29:53] <Rambart20> all time
[17:30:17] <Rambart20> nothing really chris in the this neck of the woods
[17:30:18] <@KK> I think that two people couldn't materialize in/on one another in a destination Portal, because their individual psychic "signatures" would repel them just enough so that couldn't happen.
[17:30:36] <Kiri`> so does it work like a queue?
[17:30:51] <@KK> There's really a corn cam site?!
[17:31:03] <Kiri`> yes.. there's a cam for nearly everything.. ;)
[17:31:12] <@KK> More like the transporters in Star Trek, I think.
[17:31:16] <@Tika> I think that Portal "traffic jams" would have been more likely had the Interregnum (sp?) NOT happened
[17:31:28] <@Tika> hehehe yes KK, they put it up a couple years ago when we still lived there :)
[17:31:53] <@KK> So, how'd you guys get from Iowa to Georgia?
[17:32:00] <Kiri`> drove?
[17:32:11] <@Bynw> drove
[17:32:18] <@Jessie> what happens with a trap portal if someone is already "trapped" and someone else tries to go there?
[17:32:28] * KK rolls her eyes heavenward.
[17:32:32] <Rambart20> a mess
[17:32:34] <@Shiral> Gets cozy?
