[18:16]<Elim> Hi KK
[18:17]<KK> Hi, guys.

[18:19]<KK> Quiet but nice.  I was going to make steaks and baked sweet potatoes, but Cameron had to drive over to Virginia Beach with a trailer, to pick up the Subaru Brat he'd bought on e-bay (tp replace one back in L.A., that he's selling--also on e-bay; cheaper than shipping it out and fising it up--so we decided to delay until tonight.
[18:19]<KK> So that's what will happen in a little while; hence, I can't stay long.

[18:19]<Bynw> hi sis!
[18:19]<Shiral> Hi all
[18:19]<Bee> hi shiral
[18:20]<Shiral> Well, even Herself is here. =o)
[18:20]<KK> Meanwhile, I've been clearing desk again, and getting ready to do taxes (ugh!), and had to spend a LOT of time this week catching all the last-minute fixes to the grey house, so that its new tenant could move in this weekend--which she is.
[18:20]<Bynw> yup she is

[18:20]<Sarah> Shiral! hi
[18:20]<Shiral> Hi Sarah
[18:21]<Bynw> skittles dragon!
[18:21]* the_Bee has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
[18:21]<RainbowDragon> Hi!
[18:21]<RainbowDragon> oops
[18:21]* Elim mounts hooks on the ceiling and hangs RainbowDragon up by the toenails.
[18:21]<Shiral> Eaten any good knights lately, RD?
[18:22]<RainbowDragon> hee hee
[18:22]<RainbowDragon> Ummm, no
[18:22]<KK> Anywaym I got very little writing done.  Raring to go, though.  I'll have a different report next week.
[18:22]<Bee> good =virtuous or tasty?
[18:22]<Shiral> Tasty
[18:22]<Shiral> The virtuous ones are too bland
[18:22]<RainbowDragon> any writing is progress though KK  :-)
[18:23]<KK> Just finished watching a ghastly movie (to keep me company while I sort and toss paper) called Reign of the Gargoyles.  Not my kind of gargoyles, that's for sure!
[18:23]* Bee is now known as thw_Bee
[18:23]<Shiral> Life is too short to watch bad movies, KK
[18:23]<KK> See above, RB.
[18:23]<Elim> KK, Do they eat pidgins?
[18:23]* thw_Bee is now known as the_Bee
[18:25]<KK> They were attacking American soldiers during WW II--and also attacking Nazis.  Our guys finally got the leader with the Spear of Destiny. Pretty puny premise.  There was this ghastly info-dump in the middle, when the female sidekick told about how the gargoyles got that way, and how they could be destroyed.
[18:25]<KK> Now, something called Splinter is on in the background--even more ghastly.
[18:25]<the_Bee> Remind me, KK--what's the name of Alaric's new friend/companion/guardian?  LL-something
[18:25]<KK> Llion.
[18:25]<the_Bee> ah, thanks
[18:26]<Shiral> I thought it was Llamb, but oka
[18:26]<Shiral> okay
[18:26]<Bynw> lol
[18:26]<Shiral> I think Alaric really NEEDS a Llion in charge of him instead
[18:27]<Sarah> lol
[18:27]<Shiral> I'm sure Kenneth would agree
[18:27]<KK> He's turning out to be an interesting character.  Not certain how long he'll get to live.  But maybe I can figure out a way to let him retire honorably.
[18:28]<Shiral> Llion, quick, say your prayers! KK's got you in her sights!
[18:28]<KK> He's obviously out of the picture by DR.
[18:28]<KK> But he might have died in his bed by then.
[18:28]<the_Bee> Do you ever regret giving the death years of characters while they're still alive?
[18:28]<KK> Yes and no.  I's forced me to come up with some of my best plot devices.
[18:29]<Shiral> But I'd advise him to be careful on staircases, and with anything he eats or drinks, just the same. =o)
[18:29]<KK> It's forced....

[18:29]<the_Bee> Hi TD!
[18:29]<Shiral> Hi TD
[18:29]<TheDeryni> Howdy all!
[18:29]<RainbowDragon> hi TheDeryni
[18:31]<TheDeryni> Sorry, did I say something to quiet everyone?
[18:32]<Shiral> We're hushed with awe in your presence, TD
[18:32]<TheDeryni> Okay then. Normal response.
[18:32]<Shiral> Perhaps Llion will die heroically defending Alaric?
[18:33]<KK> Perhaps.  But it would be nice to keep him around for a while.  Might save him some hassles, once he goes to court for proper page's and squire's training, after Keneth dies.
[18:34]<Shiral> I'd think at court is where Alaric will NEED a defender
[18:34]<KK> I suspect so.
[18:34]<Sarah> hi TheDeryni
[18:34]<TheDeryni>
[18:35]<KK> But I have in mind a rather unexpected adventure for the two of them, after Kenneth is gone but while Alaric is still fairly young.
[18:35]<Shiral> Brion can't be everywhere, after all
[18:35]<KK> And Brion will have things to do that aren't appropriate for taking along a kid.
[18:36]<the_Bee> Is Brion king yet?
[18:36]* Shiral is curious about the unexpected adventure....
[18:36]<KK> Yes.  Remember, he was crowned at the end of Childe Morgan.
[18:37]<the_Bee> ok, I forgot
[18:38]* Shiral also looks forward to Alaric and Brion getting their friendship underway
[18:38]<TheDeryni> Have you given yourself a deadline for the completion of the novel, Katherine?
[18:39]<KK> My editor has: end of August.
[18:39]<the_Bee> I'd like to see Nigel and Meraude's courtshipp--and Brion's and Jehana's too, of course.
[18:39]<Bynw> i was gonna say .. her editor probably has
[18:39]<KK> That will come.
[18:39]<TheDeryni> Ah.
[18:39]<KK> Anyway, I gotta dash.  I've got two hungry guys here, to feed.
[18:39]* Shiral discreetly paws up a wee patch of turf
[18:40]<the_Bee> have a good evening and a good week, KK.
[18:40]<Bynw> cya KK
[18:40]<RainbowDragon> Take care, KK
[18:40]<Shiral> Hope  there are no more impediments to some good long writing sessions. =o)
[18:40]<KK> Me, too!
[18:40]* TheDeryni sniffs his arms. "I showered!"
[18:41]<Shiral> I hope  your hungry guys don't eat the manuscript
[18:41]<KK> ?me steps onto her Portal, waves good-night, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[18:41]<the_Bee> not to mention hungry cats
[18:41]<TheDeryni> Bye!
[18:41]<Shiral> Bye, KK
[18:41]<KK> Those, too.  But they don't get steak.
[18:41]<KK> Ciao.
[18:41]* KK has quit (Quit: )
