[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:16:24 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Hello KK
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:16:25 PM] <Camber> I never let my hair get longer than 1/2 inch Ambush. My beard on the other hand is quite long and bushy.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:16:25 PM] <KK> Good Lord, we've got a mob!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:16:26 PM] <ambush> Hiyas KK!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:16:29 PM] <Shiral> Yes, I am. As I say, my leisure time to work on my project has been much curatailed this week
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:16:32 PM] <Shiral> KK!!!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:16:42 PM] <ambush> I'm at 1/4 inch right now, Camber.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:16:43 PM] <Shiral> The author traps worked--hooray!!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:16:44 PM] <jojo> Hi KK!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:16:45 PM] <Jerusha2> I'm now Jerusha2 - Jerusha got booted off somehow.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:16:53 PM] <jemler> jerusha is here twice! she really wanted to see you!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:00 PM] <the_Bee> So how's your week been? Is Scott making a good recovery?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:01 PM] <Alkari> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:02 PM] <Evie> Ah. That sometimes happens, Jerusha
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:06 PM] <Shiral> Poor kitties did not like the window replacement/instalment at ALL
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:08 PM] <Camber> #2 clipper cut does a great job.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:11 PM] <KK> That's dedication.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:13 PM] <ambush> i trimmed the beard the other day too. it's not longer than 1/8 right now
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:15 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12it's mob rule tonight
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:17 PM] <ambush> yeah it does
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:30 PM] * Shiral does a happy dance to finally be here at the same time as KK
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:30 PM] <KK> Shiral, you got new windows?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:32 PM] * Evie has a question for Kk but will wait for the initial hubbub to subside
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:35 PM] <Shiral> Yes
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:48 PM] <Jerusha2> Hi KK!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:53 PM] <Shiral> Would you believe I found out I needed to move my furniture the day before?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:57 PM] <Alkari> LOL - I thought you had a whole lot of questions!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:17:58 PM] <DesertRose> Hi KK.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:18:07 PM] <Shiral> I think the new management has some problems with priorities for notification
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:18:08 PM] <Camber> Keep mine to a minimum of 6 inches. (Summer length) longer in the winter.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:18:11 PM] <KK> I take it that the girls had to be locked in a bathroom or something while this was done.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:18:23 PM] <bynw> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:18:30 PM] <Shiral> They told us about the tree trimming they were also doing this week, but not a PEEP about new windows!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:18:42 PM] <ambush> i just took the clippers attachments off completely for the beard, camber
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:18:43 PM] <Camber> Hello KK and Bynw
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:18:48 PM] <Shiral> No, actually, both cats were so freaked out, they hid in the closet
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:18:50 PM] <ambush> hey chris
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:18:57 PM] <DesertRose> That's one thing about my apartment building. They are quite good about telling us what they're going to do and when they're going to do it.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:19:01 PM] <Shiral> Strange people with loud tools = invisible cats
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:19:03 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12poor kittehs
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:19:05 PM] <KK> That could definitely be problematical with pets.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:19:33 PM] <KK> How many windows?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:19:47 PM] <Camber> My shih tzu doesn't like loud tools or people she doesn't know.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:19:49 PM] <Shiral> What gets me is they told us about people working outside, but not a PEEP about "Several people are going to be tramping around in your apartment this week."
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:20:09 PM] <KK> Go figure.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:20:11 PM] <Alkari> WOW - like you'd just let anyone in.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:20:20 PM] <Shiral> 4 the bedroom, livingroom, bathroom and sliding glass patio doors

[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:20:35 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12i hope the windows are working like they'
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:20:39 PM] <KK> Wow.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:20:44 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12they're supposed to
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:20:45 PM] <Shiral> At eleven pm the night before I was pushing furniture out of the way and swearing like a sailor!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:21:15 PM] <jemler> Well blow me down, har har!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:21:24 PM] <Shiral> They are, although the've made the nice, wide windowsills narrower so there is less room for my cats to sun themselves
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:21:26 PM] <KK> What did they have to say about this tardy notifiction? What if your cats had fled?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:21:46 PM] <Shiral> I don't know, i couldn't trust myself to be polite at the time
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:21:47 PM] <KK> notification
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:21:58 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12:D
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:21:59 PM] <Shiral> But luckily, the cats hid rather than fled
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:22:08 PM] <KK> Smart cats.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:22:21 PM] <Shiral> Anyway, KK, If Evie's building a Duncan, I'm making a model Hagios Iob. =o)
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:22:27 PM] <Evie> KK--have added bits to Action Figure Duncan's wardrobe, and he now has a new Schola teacher (long story--I was searching the thrift store for jointed male action figure bodies and found a female one instead), but now I'm puzzled about a heraldry-related issue.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:22:43 PM] <KK> OK.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:22:52 PM] <Shiral> But I was telling everyone my time to work on it has been much curtailed this week so you can all blame it on my apartment management
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:23:02 PM] <Evie> I know what Duncan's heraldic arms would be if he were still Duke of Cassan. But he's an abdicated Duke, so presumably those arms are Dhugal's now, yes?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:23:48 PM] <KK> Yes. But Duncan would have new arms as a bishop, possibly with his family arms impaled or in escutcheon, to show his lineage.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:23:58 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Crossed crosiers en saltier behind the arms?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:24:08 PM] <Evie> And if so, what would Duncan be using? the McLain arms differenced somehow? When the question came up with the Duke of Windsor's abdication, he went back to using the eldest son's mark of cadency with an Imperial Crown on the center point to show he'd once been King.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:24:29 PM] <jemler> i just thought they annointed your hands, not replaced body parts!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:24:46 PM] <Evie> Ah, OK. So, I don't suppose there's a blazon for his new arms (she asks hopefully)?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:25:31 PM] <KK> As a bishop without a territorial see, he could more or less design his own arms, and incorporate some part of the McLain arms as well.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:25:34 PM] <Alkari> We were suggesting perhaps the McLain arms with the addition of two crosses either side of the sleeping lion
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:25:46 PM] <KK> No, there's no blazon at this time.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:25:49 PM] <Evie> We had scads of discussion of this on the Forum this week in the Action Figure thread
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:26:08 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Duncan wore a sword an a crozier crossed en saltieer on campaign against the Mearans.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:26:25 PM] <Evie> But that was behind his clan badge, I thought, BTE?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:26:25 PM] <DesertRose> I must have missed that line, BalanceTheEnergies.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:26:34 PM] <Alkari> Me too
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:26:36 PM] <KK> Yes, I'd think those would be behind the shield.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:26:44 PM] <Alkari> And he hadn't abdicated as Duke back then
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:26:45 PM] <Shiral> He was also still the Duke, then
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:26:50 PM] <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:27:00 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> It's in TKJ when he an Morgan take leave.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:27:06 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, okay.

[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:27:19 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Duncan was leading the cassani forces
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:27:29 PM] <jemler> wb jerusha
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:27:31 PM] <Alkari> So basically Kelson could have OK'd a new set of arms for Duncan alone
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:27:34 PM] <DesertRose> Jerusha, are you having issues with Mibbit?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:27:41 PM] <the_Bee> rehi jerusha
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:27:50 PM] <Jerusha> Apparently.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:28:00 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12bad mibbit
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:28:07 PM] <DesertRose> I doubt it would have gone to Kelson. I'm sure he's got some undersecretary who deals with all the heraldic crapola.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:28:08 PM] <Alkari> The 'temporary Jerusha' syndrome
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:28:09 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Perhaps this sort of thing happened before, and they simply followed precedent.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:28:20 PM] <Jerusha> Must know I have whippets - they chase mibbits.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:28:22 PM] <the_Bee> I think Duncan would have wanted to honor his family in his arms somehow.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:28:38 PM] <Evie> Jerusha, I sometimes have better luck with Icechat, though you have to direct it to the right server and channel
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:29:10 PM] <Camber> Jerusha maybe it's the odd weather. We heard the peepers here in VT this week. 4 wks earrly.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:29:24 PM] <Evie> KK, you last saw the Action Figure in Progress just before Duncan added the crosses and fringe to his stole. Here's the update: http://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?topic=844.15
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:29:26 PM] <the_Bee> MIRC works for me, and I'm not about to fool around with it.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:29:39 PM] <Jerusha> I'm in Northern Ontario and the snow is gone. Very unusual.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:29:40 PM] <KK> At that point, with things still in flux, I'd guess he was using the McLain arms with saltired cross and crozier, probably a mitre as a crest, and maybe with the lion holding a cross in its paws. More suitable ecclesiastical arms would be devised at a later date.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:29:46 PM] <jemler> i use mirc
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:29:51 PM] <Camber> DR I think that would be the Herald.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:30:23 PM] <DesertRose> Probably, or King of Arms or somewhat like.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:30:25 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12the weather has been weird all over
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:30:26 PM] <Evie> OK, so in other words, "Design something suitable for a bishop and stick a reference to McLains in there somewhere if Duncan needs a miniature shield," is that it? ;-)

[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:30:44 PM] <Shiral> KK, I think Dmitri, my male kitten would take issue with being a girl =o)
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:30:45 PM] <Alkari> ANd make sure it is not too complex to be done in petit point to scale!!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:31:11 PM] <Camber> Not complaining about 80's in March. Good thing sugaring was just about done.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:31:21 PM] <jemler> so would I!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:31:40 PM] <Shiral> Now that it's past the equinox, we're getting wet cold weather in California
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:31:43 PM] <the_Bee> Sugaring? Where do yu live?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:31:51 PM] <Camber> Vermont
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:31:56 PM] <DesertRose> I'm not complaining about weather in the 80s in March, but if it breaks 90 around here before mid-April, I will scream.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:32:08 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12and sweat
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:32:13 PM] <the_Bee> I have family there. My dad was a Veronter.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:32:17 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, DF, that goes without saying.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:32:20 PM] <Camber> Sweat, yes.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:32:39 PM] <Camber> Nothing like fresh syrup on snow.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:32:57 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12or snow on fresh syrup
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:01 PM] <DesertRose> Snow, ha. That's a four-letter word.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:10 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Yeah, I have to replace my fan. The old one died last year.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:13 PM] <the_Bee> I've heard of that, Not sure if aI've ever had it.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:15 PM] <Camber> not that there was any snow to put it on this year.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:19 PM] <DesertRose> I do NOT do snow.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:29 PM] <Camber> So is work DR
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:31 PM] <jemler> four and word are four-letters words too, DR!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:31 PM] <Jerusha> I have no choice.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:34 PM] <Evie> And in FL, that's not a huge worry most of the time anyway
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:35 PM] <DesertRose> Yup.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:37 PM] <DesertRose> Nope.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:37 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12and rain
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:55 PM] <DesertRose> Rain is a four-letter word I can live with.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:59 PM] <the_Bee> FL just has hurricanes.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:33:59 PM] <DesertRose> We need some, actually.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:34:00 PM] <jemler> and soap
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:34:13 PM] <the_Bee> we need rain too.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:34:22 PM] <DesertRose> Soap is another four-letter word I can live with, quite easily.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:34:35 PM] <Shiral> I was glad for the rain, less happy about the cold!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:34:38 PM] <Camber> Not if freezing is before it, I'll take 3 feet of snot to 1/8 inch of freezing rain!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:34:43 PM] <jojo> Our rain has been lauded... almost banished the drought. Only one lake left below full.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:34:48 PM] <Camber> snot=snow
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:34:49 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12snot?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:34:50 PM] <DesertRose> 3 feet of snot?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:34:52 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:34:56 PM] <Shiral> EWW!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:35:04 PM] <Shiral> I'd rather have locusts
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:35:11 PM] <the_Bee> EWW is right
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:35:17 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, my inner 12-year-old is amused by that.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:35:17 PM] <Camber> Kinda gross if you think about that much of that substance.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:35:37 PM] <Shiral> Snow, yes, I can handle snow
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:35:39 PM] <Jerusha> I think I'd rather (s)not
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:35:43 PM] <Shiral> At least for short periods of time
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:35:56 PM] <the_Bee> I was seeing about TX drought on the news.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:35:58 PM] <Camber> I never said I could type! ;-)
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:36:04 PM] <Evie>
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:36:11 PM] <Shiral> ANYWAY, Is Alaric at court, yet KK?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:36:16 PM] <DesertRose> We don't get freezing rain here much either.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:36:18 PM] <Evie> I'll avoid VT if you get 3 feet of snot
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:36:22 PM] <DesertRose> It's Florida, far too warm.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:36:41 PM] <Camber> If we get snot I'm outta here too.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:37:07 PM] <Jerusha> Is Alaric at court, or in Bremayne?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:37:34 PM] <Camber> We did have some rain overnight. We need it since we only had about 13 inches of snow all winter

[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:38:27 PM] <Shiral> Where is our Guest of Honor?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:38:29 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:38:29 PM] <the_Bee> Because nobody told them any better.

[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:38:56 PM] <DesertRose> Hair?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:38:57 PM] <ambush> sorry, had to add another four letter word
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:38:59 PM] <ambush>
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:39:00 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:39:07 PM] <ambush> was scrolled up a bit
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:39:57 PM] <DesertRose>
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:39:59 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Aren't there usually multiple conversations ongoing here. It feels like a cocktail party.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:40:02 PM] Join Camber has joined this channel (chatzilla@OWIRCN-9b419baf.vt.sover.net).
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:40:07 PM] <DesertRose> Rehi Camber.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:40:09 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12camber's back
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:40:11 PM] <Evie> re-hi Camber
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:40:12 PM] <the_Bee> wb Camber
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:40:29 PM] <Camber> sorry I sneezed and killed my connection.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:40:37 PM] <Shiral> Don't mess around with Ward Cubes during chat,Camber. Untoward things can happen!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:40:40 PM] <KK> Sorry, I was looking at the results of Evie's recent endeavors.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:40:40 PM] <DesertRose> You sneezed?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:40:45 PM] <the_Bee> gesundheit!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:40:47 PM] <Alkari> I htink Jerusha as asking about progress on CM3
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:40:52 PM] <Camber> Thanks
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:41:04 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12so that's the rumbling I just felt
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:41:21 PM] <KK> I've finally been doing tax stuff (ugly paperwork), so haven't gotten any writing done this week.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:41:25 PM] <Evie> Duncan is blushing at the thought of KK seeing his most recent photo.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:41:31 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12taxes are evil
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:41:36 PM] <the_Bee> How's Scott doing?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:41:50 PM] <Jerusha> Especially if you owe money.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:41:57 PM] <KK> Scott's fine; fully recovered from his surgical adventure.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:42:01 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12i got a refund this year
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:42:02 PM] <Alkari> at thought of taxes.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:42:05 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12:D
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:42:06 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Yay1
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:42:09 PM] <Camber> Good thing there weren't Ward Cubes being used. It could have been very untoward.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:42:26 PM] <Alkari> Alas,m no instant Deryni Healers available, KK
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:42:27 PM] <Shiral> Recovered from surgery is GOOD
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:42:31 PM] <Jerusha> Glad Scott's doing well.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:42:35 PM] <the_Bee> For years I've gotten neither a payment nor a refund.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:42:49 PM] <Shiral> Never can find a Healer when you need one, especially in modern times
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:43:20 PM] <Jerusha> Breaking even is supposed to be a good thing.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:43:26 PM] <Camber> with the ward, managed to open 3 sessions. Kinda feeling like Alice...curiouser and curiouser.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:43:42 PM] <jemler> depends on what you're breaking!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:43:48 PM] <Evie> :-D
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:44:12 PM] <the_Bee> Well, 've been on disability since 1986.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:44:30 PM] <jemler> 1998 here
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:44:44 PM] <Evie> Ward Cubes...Hm. I need to make a tiny set of those....
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:44:57 PM] <Camber> It's not fun to be on disability. 2009 for me.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:44:59 PM] <Jerusha> With a red leather pouch.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:45:11 PM] <jemler> for securing small areas
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:45:22 PM] <KK> I've seen tiny cubical beads that probably would work.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:45:48 PM] <Evie> I've also got some Sculpey and could make them
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:46:00 PM] <jemler> i once saw small beads that kinda looked like Epcot Center. the first thing I thought of was Palantiri
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:46:00 PM] <Evie> I'm trying to visualize the right size though
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:46:16 PM] <Camber> Evie, if you can, different shades of granite, or Marble and Onyx are nice.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:46:19 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> 8 mm? 10/
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:46:43 PM] <Camber> The size of large dice is a good size for Ward Cubes.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:46:49 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> 12?mm?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:46:50 PM] <Evie> At 1:6 scale, they'd be pretty tiny, if regular sized ones can pass for dice
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:46:59 PM] <the_Bee> Tiercel said he'd seen ward cubes disguised s dice.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:47:27 PM] <Jerusha> They used to have little baby bracelet beads that would almost be the right size
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:47:30 PM] <Evie> My own 'ward cubes" (actually black and ivory unmarked dice) are only about 1/2 each across
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:47:47 PM] <Alkari> yes, the scale ones for Duncan would be very tiny
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:47:55 PM] <Camber> I seem to remember them being described like dice when Morgan first uses them in DR.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:47:59 PM] <Evie> but I could scale down from an "average" size that's larger
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:47:59 PM] <Alkari> you might be able to get tiny white square beads
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:48:14 PM] <KK> AsI recall, Derry seemed to think that ward cubes were soke some strange kind of dice.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:48:25 PM] <the_Bee> square beads sounds good if you can find them in the right colors.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:48:37 PM] <Shiral> Maybe they have larger dice for Deryni who are older and losing their visual acuity? =o)
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:48:40 PM] <jemler> and Tiecel told Conal that he hasd seen spotted ones.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:48:48 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> I think cube beads/swarovski crystals go down to 4 mm.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:48:48 PM] <Camber> Wasn't thinking about your miniaturizing them.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:48:57 PM] <the_Bee> yes--disguised as dice
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:48:58 PM] <Evie> I'll look. And if I can't, it's Sculpey time. It should only take them 2 or 3 minutes to bake, at that small size
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:49:02 PM] <Shiral> "Derry, will you please stop using my Wards in tavern dice games?!"
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:49:07 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:49:15 PM] <Alkari> well, maybe just get cram/white ones and paint on them - though that would be tiny brushwork
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:49:18 PM] <Camber> Right colors? They just need to be contrasting colors.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:49:43 PM] <Alkari> I will keep an eye out when I go to the shops
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:50:02 PM] <jemler> do you know anyone with an olf-fashioned piano?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:50:06 PM] <Evie> Well, the ivory and black combine to make silvery-grey oblongs, IIRC
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:50:08 PM] <Alkari> Seeing I have to go near a craft and fabric shop this week
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:50:20 PM] <Shiral> A piano made by olfs, Jemler?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:50:31 PM] <Evie> So I might have to find some hematite rectangular beads and then scale the smaller sized cubes down accordingly.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:50:34 PM] <jemler> yes!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:50:45 PM] <Alkari> KK, where to the ward cubes come from? Who makes them?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:50:47 PM] <jemler> nade with ebony and ivory keys
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:50:50 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12:D
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:51:06 PM] <Alkari> Where did Alaric get his - a legacy from his mother?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:51:26 PM] <KK> If one were using different colors besides black and white, I wonder whethr the combined colors would be different? I.E., is the magical color independent or a factor of the material used? Hmmm...
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:51:50 PM] <Evie> OK, I'm stopping now before I start fantasizing about finding a translucent dome to paint half red, half blue, and what the light source would be.... ;-)
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:52:09 PM] <jemler> Would the making of Ward Cubes be in one of the Protocols of Orin?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:52:18 PM] <Shiral> Well the cubes must be made of some physical matter....
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:52:22 PM] <Camber> I seem to remember Queron saying his masters has blue ones.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:52:30 PM] <Evie> My house does NOT have room for a Duel Arcane Diorama Playset!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:52:34 PM] <Camber> had blue ones.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:52:52 PM] <Shiral> Perhaps it needs to be able to accept magic kind of like the ability to be magnetized
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:52:57 PM] <Alkari> But who makes them with their powers, or how are they activated 'as' Ward Cubes?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:53:12 PM] <Shiral> Evie, the way you're headed, It might HAVE to!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:53:17 PM] <Evie> In DM, I think it was, there was a suggestion that it needn't be cubes, but that cubes were easier to stack
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:53:26 PM] <BalanceTheEnergies> Could they be any colour, but the same colour, half light and half dark?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:53:28 PM] <Evie> Nooooo, Shiral!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:53:29 PM] <Shiral> And your state will start wondering who's buying up used dolls!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:53:48 PM] <Camber> Probably created by several people in a working similar to a portal, just not as intense.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:53:54 PM] <Jerusha> Or just the heads:D
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:54:11 PM] <Shiral> So set up a bowling alley!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:54:14 PM] <Alkari> LOL. Watch out for FBI criminal profilers ....
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:54:36 PM] <Alkari> "suspicious woman collecting headless dolls, or heads without bodies ..."
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:54:42 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:54:54 PM] <Shiral> Seen muttering in the aisles of toy stores....
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:55:02 PM] <Evie> LOL! When DS came home a night or two ago, there was Action Figure Duncan lying beside a blonde head. He burst out laughing and said, "Tell me there's a story behind THAT!"
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:55:09 PM] <Alkari> She SAYS she is making a medieval bishop and some sort of teacher sister ...
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:55:11 PM] <KK> The Frankenstein images are....interesting. Be careful, Evie. The profilers would have a field day.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:55:16 PM] <Evie>
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:55:16 PM] <jemler> maybe they're created by a spell similar to the one Kelson used to melt Sidana's ring. Focusing all your power to charge the cubes.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:55:32 PM] <Camber> I imagine the colors of the activated wards would be a function of the color of the cubes. ie yellow and blue making green etc.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:55:41 PM] <Camber> Sounds reasonable Jemler.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:55:53 PM] <jemler> let's get Alaric a new set of cubes!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:07 PM] <Alkari> Buit would the functions and powers depend on the colours, or just the light / dark difference?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:10 PM] <Evie> Oh, I'm less worried about that than I am about my husband dying mysteriously and police checking my hard drive, which has lots of info on herbal poisons due to my current fanfic plus my original novel I wrote the first draft of a few years back.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:14 PM] <KK> I think I'm going to have to have Se teach Alaric a bit abiout ward cubes.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:20 PM] <Camber> Green and Black ones!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:21 PM] <Evie> ooh! yes!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:23 PM] <Alkari> Oh good.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:23 PM] <Shiral> Oh good!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:29 PM] <Alkari> More Sir Se too
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:30 PM] <DesertRose> Cool.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:31 PM] <Shiral> He had to have learned it from someone!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:33 PM] <jemler> see what we've done!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:35 PM] <DesertRose> Yay, more Sir Se.
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:40 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12:D
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:46 PM] <Jerusha> Excellent!
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:56:46 PM] <Alkari> So where have you left Alaric recently, KK?
[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:57:13 PM] <Camber> Yay! That gives you and immunity from a mackerel mackeroo Jemler.

[Sunday, March 25, 2012] [07:57:52 PM] <Shiral> Heh, I attended a murder mystery themed birthday party for a friend of mine who writes mysteries. She still laughs about the time her husband came home to find her cooking dinner while reading her new book on literary poisons at the same time!
