[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:10 PM] <Evie> The furnishings shouldn't be too much problem, at least once I figure out how to make claw-footed furniture, but getting everythinng to fit in those dimensions might take some fudging.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:10 PM] <KK> Hello, folks.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:12 PM] <Alkari> The work is a TOTAL renovation, even to a new doorway
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:14 PM] <Shiral> Hurrah, the Author Traps worked!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:17 PM] <Alkari> Hi KK
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:18 PM] <Shiral> Hi KK
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:19 PM] <Pol> Hi KK
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:20 PM] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:24 PM] <Pol> LOL @Shiral
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:29 PM] <the_Bee> I once ate out of an electric fry-pan while waiting for my gas stove to be turned on.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:31 PM] <Evie> Oh, hi KK! I was just saying I'm trying to sketch out a roombox for Duncan's study using your descriptions of it in DR.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:33 PM] <DomMelchior> Hiya KK
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:37 PM] * Shiral offers KK a Sundae
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:38 PM] <the_Bee> Hi KK
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:47 PM] <Pol> ooh, sundae?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:47 PM] <jemler> hi kk
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:51 PM] <Pol> I'm in for one!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:05:58 PM] <Shiral> Those are my author traps, Pol
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:06:05 PM] <Pol> you got me then
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:06:06 PM] * Shiral offers Pol another sundae
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:06:29 PM] <Pol> nice....BR Gold Medal Ribbon with caramel...my fave
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:06:30 PM] <Shiral> Have a Gabrilite Delight on the house
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:06:40 PM] <KK> Evie, I like the new benches you got for the Littles.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:06:56 PM] <Pol> :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:07:02 PM] <Evie> Thank you! I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:07:23 PM] <bynw> hiyas KK
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:07:27 PM] <Evie> I had seen some online that I thought would work--they're really dollhouse tables--but I'm glad I didn't order the ones online, since they were a lot pricier
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:07:31 PM] * bynw was in another channel
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:07:45 PM] <KK> How did it take you so long to find a shop that specializes in doll house furniture and fixings? And right in your own backyard, too.

[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:07:54 PM] <DesertRose> ROFL
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:07:56 PM] <DesertRose> Hi cynicalmedic.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:07:58 PM] <Shiral> Hi CM
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:08:01 PM] <the_Bee> Hi CM
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:08:10 PM] <cynicalmedic> Evening, all
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:08:13 PM] <Evie> I had looked online for one, but couldn't find it that way. It's owned by a little white-haired lady who probably doesn't use the Internet.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:08:28 PM] <Evie> I learned about it because someone in the model railroad hobby shop knew about her.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:08:41 PM] <Evie> hi, CM
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:08:43 PM] <Shiral> I'm telling Evie that she should tell her DS to support his own high School sport habit--she has Haldanes to dress!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:08:52 PM] <jemler> hi cm
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:09:05 PM] <cynicalmedic> Plus, birthday presents for a Duke!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:09:10 PM] <Evie> Well, he's got new running shoes and spike shoes, so he ought to be set for a few months
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:09:17 PM] <Shiral> Happy Michaelmas plus one
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:09:30 PM] <Alkari> What! YOu've given Alaric running shoes? ;)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:09:45 PM] <cynicalmedic> Maybe those are for DS
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:10:07 PM] <KK> It was a good idea to reember that it was Alaric's birthday, and to get presents for him.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:10:17 PM] <Evie> LOL! No, Alkari. My son is on the cross country team this year. that's where most of my last two paychecks has gone
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:10:27 PM] <Shiral> What do you get the Deryni Duke who has "everything"?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:10:27 PM] <cynicalmedic> I had to go shopping myself - my niece's birthday is the ninth
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:10:30 PM] <Evie> at least most of the money that's normally left over for my spending money
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:10:36 PM] <Alkari> LOL - I was trying to imagine our Duke in cross country training!!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:10:47 PM] <bynw> Evie: my son plays football, basketball and baseball so you can imagine where $ goes for us
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:10:54 PM] <Shiral> It would be nice, I'm sure Alaric has nice legs
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:10:56 PM] <Alkari> It was my brother's birthday yesterday - 30th
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:11:24 PM] <Shiral> My SIL had a birthday on Sept 25
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:11:28 PM] <Evie> I'm hoping to give Duncan a study for his birthday, but I can't work out how to fit all your furniture into a "4 paces by 5 paces" room, KK. I tried it on graph paper, and have decided that Alaric must have very generous "paces." ;-)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:11:29 PM] <cynicalmedic> Derry needs the running shoes - he has to keep up with three Dernyi children
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:11:54 PM] <Shiral> Two walkers and a crawler, yup
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:11:58 PM] <Pol> oh, poor Derry...I hope he finds love.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:12:11 PM] <Evie> If they're children I've given him, CM, make that five in all. ;-)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:12:35 PM] <Alkari> Well, I am not sure how many I have ended up giving Alaric - four or five :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:12:42 PM] <Shiral> "Er, your Grace, methinks I need to pay more attention to my Earldom....
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:13:06 PM] <Evie> I think if we keep giving them fanfic kids, they'll need the running shoes to run off to Torenth. :D
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:13:09 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:13:21 PM] <Alkari> Brendan thinks that escaping to Marley occasionally is more peaceful than dealing with boisterous siblings :D
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:13:28 PM] <Shiral> Derry probably wouldn't chase them, there. Bad associations with Torenth!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:13:34 PM] <Pol> I loved the accent the audio book version of the first three Kelson books gave Derry...a lovely Irish lilt.

[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:13:46 PM] <Evie> Yes, I liked that too, Pol
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:13:50 PM] <Evie> Hi, DF
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:13:51 PM] <Shiral> Hi DF
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:13:52 PM] <Pol> The latter three was a different voice actor and I missed that
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:00 PM] <Evie> Luke, true to form, has settled onto my arms for chat
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:01 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12are we all ready for "once upon a time' tonight?!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:09 PM] <Shiral> Yes, Mister Gravel Larynx
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:13 PM] <the_Bee> I've set my DVR
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:14 PM] <Pol> LOL
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:16 PM] <Evie> Don't get me started on the second narrator, Pol. :D
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:25 PM] <DesertRose> Hi derynifanatic64.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:27 PM] <Pol> Evie, I think we agree on that one

[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:37 PM] <cynicalmedic> I haven't done the audio books
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:38 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12hi jerusha
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:38 PM] <the_Bee> hi jerusha

[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:45 PM] <cynicalmedic> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:47 PM] <Evie> We've decided that his Alaric must gargle gravel every morning to get that voice
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:47 PM] <DesertRose> I haven't listened to the audiobooks either.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:52 PM] <Evie> Hi, Jerusha
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:54 PM] <jemler> once upon a time is on right now. it's recap of season 1.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:14:55 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:15:00 PM] <jemler> hi jerusha
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:15:05 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12new episode at 8
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:15:08 PM] <Evie> The first trilogy's narrator is fine
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:15:10 PM] <DesertRose> The guy who does the US versions of the Harry Potter series is really good, but I haven't actually listened to any other audiobooks.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:15:16 PM] <Pol> I only did the AB's this last month, used them to keep me company as I drove from campus to campus
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:15:32 PM] <KK> Well, I'm glad you guys are buying the audio books, because I just got my first royalty check from the folk at Audible Books. Not an enormous amount, but it was only for 3 months. Katherine was happy!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:15:32 PM] <Shiral> Good use of Commute time
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:15:48 PM] <Shiral> Money in the mail is never bad. =o)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:15:55 PM] <Pol> Good, KK!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:15:58 PM] <Evie> I'm glad my purchase went to making you happy, then. :D
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:16:00 PM] <Alkari> LOL. I have never taken to audio books at all
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:16:01 PM] <Pol> Love when those arrive. :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:16:10 PM] <Alkari> Probably because I have never really commuted by car
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:16:17 PM] <DesertRose> My stepdad (who--gasp--hates to read and whom I think is an undiagnosed dyslexic) used to listen to books on his commute to work. He likes a good story; he just doesn't like to read.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:16:18 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12getting money can be good
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:16:19 PM] <Pol> Alkari, I'm the same way, but I can only listen to books I know well.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:16:27 PM] <cynicalmedic> I once missed an exit listening to "Patriot Games"
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:16:27 PM] <DesertRose> Money is always helpful, KK. :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:16:32 PM] <Shiral> I always seem to get bills, instead
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:16:37 PM] <Alkari> I like "real" books - have just stocked up again from local library
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:16:48 PM] <Pol> Right now I'm listening (I mean during the work week)) to a voice actor butcher the Belgariad.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:16:54 PM] <DesertRose> Oh dear.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:01 PM] <Alkari> Am finding new Scandinavian crime fictions writers.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:06 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12that was a great series of books
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:09 PM] <Shiral> Yes, the reader is VERY important
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:18 PM] <the_Bee> Who wrote the Belgariad?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:23 PM] <Evie> I prefer "real" books, but sometimes audio books are all I can make time for, so they're nice to have when I'm doing something that I can't do while reading a print book
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:25 PM] <Pol> David Eddings
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:26 PM] <DesertRose> David (and Leigh) Eddings.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:26 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12david eddings
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:27 PM] <cynicalmedic> The Redemption of Athalus is fun, too
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:35 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12both are now deceased
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:38 PM] <the_Bee> ok thanks
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:38 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, sadly.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:51 PM] <jemler> one of my favorites was Beldin
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:52 PM] <Alkari> Yes. I enjoyed those books too.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:17:55 PM] <Evie> I liked the Belgariad
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:18:03 PM] <DesertRose> Honestly, when I heard she had died, I didn't think he'd outlast her by long, and lo and behold he didn't.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:18:06 PM] <Evie> I only vaguely remember it now, but I remember enjoying them
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:18:21 PM] <Pol> sad
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:18:24 PM] <Alkari> Polgara's view in her book was fun
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:18:29 PM] <Shiral> So how goes the book, KK?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:18:30 PM] <DesertRose> They had been married for half of forever.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:18:52 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12I wonder how the Camberian Council would react if they met Belgarath
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:18:58 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, DF.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:18:59 PM] <DomMelchior> Yes, a good series
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:19:16 PM] <KK> Alaric has just learned about Ward Cubes from Se.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:19:21 PM] <Evie> Shiral asked KK about how the book was going, and my window suddenly vanished. Dagnabbit, Luke, don't DO that to me!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:19:31 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12bad luke
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:19:36 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, I bet that's fun, KK.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:19:37 PM] <Evie> oh, cool, KK!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:19:40 PM] <DesertRose> Bad kitty, Luke!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:19:43 PM] <Shiral> Ahah. =o) A tool we know will be important to his adult life
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:19:48 PM] <jemler> did Se give alaric his cubes, or were they his mothers?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:20:08 PM] * Shiral wanted to get the question in before Once Upon a Time time
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:20:10 PM] <Evie> I had wondered who had taught him about ward cubes and how he got them. Or did he learn how to make them?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:20:31 PM] <KK> They were his mother's, but Se had them and gave them to him. But these may not be the ones we first see in DR. They might be considered starter wards.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:20:32 PM] <Pol> Oh, KK, I've always wondered this and my wonder was renewed in my recent relisten...
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:20:51 PM] <Shiral> They all have little training wheels?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:20:55 PM] <Pol> Did Azim "do" something to Kelson to lesson his grief/loss/depth of connection to Rothana?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:20:58 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:21:00 PM] <jemler> making them sounds like it would be l;eft to a fully trained deryni.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:21:06 PM] * Evie smirks at Shiral's question
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:21:07 PM] <KK> He's also learning about how to put people to sleep--another useful skill.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:21:17 PM] <the_Bee> What can advanced ward cubes do that starter cubes can't?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:21:20 PM] <Alkari> LOL. Mentioning Se does not give me a good feeling about his future, given that we don't meet him in DR and thereafter. :(
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:21:52 PM] <KK> I don't think Azim would do that, and I don't think Kelson would let him.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:22:12 PM] <Shiral> Azim didn't, but I think Araxie did
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:22:14 PM] <Alkari> I have this horrible feeling that KK the 'brutal killer of favourite characters' is going to emerge again sometime :(
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:22:16 PM] <DomMelchior> Bee, one's an automatic, the other is manual with a clutch ;-)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:22:28 PM] <DesertRose> DomMelchior, LOL
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:22:29 PM] <the_Bee> Maybe Se went back to the Anvil of the Lord--or wherever--once Alaric's education was complete?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:22:31 PM] <jemler> that may not be a bad thing, alkari. he may just still be in Thr Anvil. personnaly, i think hes was the old man who showed Kelson Camber's tomb.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:22:33 PM] <Pol> I thought he did, when he's got Kelson under during his training, he says something like "one more thing..." and not too long after that, Kelson seems okay with Araxie
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:22:35 PM] <Evie> LOL, DM
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:22:36 PM] <Pol> or more okay
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:22:40 PM] <KK> Hey, it's 15 years later, and a lot can happen....
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:22:50 PM] <Shiral> Through natural means of showing him she'll make a good wife and queen
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:22:59 PM] <Alkari> Yes, KK - but with you, I often anticipate nasty things :D
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:23:20 PM] <Shiral> And Kelson kissed Araxie before Azim showed up at the wedding
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:23:26 PM] <Pol> oh, KK, meant to tell you, an author colleague (whose initials are also KK, oddly enough) named her son "Kelson," after your Kelson. He's now 17.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:23:48 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12:Dvery nice!!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:24:02 PM] <the_Bee> What KK is that?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:24:04 PM] <Jerusha> So Se is taking an active role in Alaric's training?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:24:07 PM] <KK> Which KK would that be?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:24:11 PM] <Pol> Karin Kallmaker
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:24:20 PM] <jemler> Kaptain Krunch?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:24:25 PM] <Pol> LOL Jemler
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:24:27 PM] <Jerusha> Jemler!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:24:32 PM] <jemler> :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:24:39 PM] * Shiral smacks Jemler with a handy Monkfish
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:24:53 PM] <jemler> i try to be nice, but i get bored.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:24:55 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12great white shark
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:24:56 PM] <DesertRose> Pol, if Karin is cool with it, she can send me Kelson's date of birth and a little bit of info about him and I'll put him on Deryni.net on the list of Deryni-named children.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:25:00 PM] * Alkari goes to look for a frozen tuna
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:25:10 PM] <Evie> I wondered at first why we were smacking Jemler with a monk, but then I reread that
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:25:14 PM] <cynicalmedic> Just throw it in cans, Alkari
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:25:16 PM] * Jerusha looks for smelt
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:25:23 PM] <Pol> I'll ask her. We're meeting in two weeks at a signing, so I'll talk to her in person
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:25:30 PM] <KK> We know that Se has been showing up when he's needed, first for Kenneth and Alyce, then for Brion....
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:25:31 PM] <DesertRose> It's up to her.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:25:36 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12use a 16 ton weight
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:25:53 PM] <Jerusha> Would Se have to come in secret, though?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:25:55 PM] <Pol> Looking forward to reading the next book
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:25:55 PM] <Shiral> Their own Deryni version of a Geniie
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:26:25 PM] <KK> Se apparently knows how to give the illusion of invisibility.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:26:42 PM] <Pol> ooh
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:26:46 PM] <Evie> that's a handy talent
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:26:46 PM] <Alkari> Se needs to come and help them find a Transfer Portal at Coroth!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:26:48 PM] <Jerusha> Cool
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:26:48 PM] <DesertRose> http://www.rhemuthcastle.com/wiki/pmwiki.php/Community/Children
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:26:54 PM] <DesertRose> There's the list as of now, Pol.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:27:04 PM] <the_Bee> with a "don't see-me" spell?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:27:13 PM] <Shiral> Azim's not bad at it, either
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:27:26 PM] <Pol> So...not to add any more pressure, KK, and I know you wrapped things up (mostly) in KKB, but I'd love to hear how the Schola is doing, how we're doing at rediscovering the Healing arts...you know.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:27:29 PM] <Shiral> So might Se have been a mentor to Azim at some point?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:27:38 PM] <KK> True. And he's also connected with the Anvilers.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:27:39 PM] <Pol> Thanks, DR. I've seen that list. I'll tell her.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:27:42 PM] <DesertRose> Okay.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:27:49 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12I know someone who named their son Rhys
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:28:06 PM] <Pol> Do they pronounce it "Rise" or "Reese"
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:28:12 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12reese
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:28:22 PM] <Alkari> But that's a airly normal Welsh name - I've known two people called Rhys
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:28:26 PM] <DesertRose> I would totally name a son Rhys, pronounced Reese, if I were to have another kid.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:28:30 PM] <Pol> Ah. I have a friend who says it "Rheese"
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:28:36 PM] <DesertRose> Which is increasingly unlikely. :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:28:40 PM] <Shiral> "Rice" Thuryn sounds like some rice dish...
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:28:41 PM] <Pol> or, really, "Reeze"
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:28:49 PM] <the_Bee> I knew a Rhys who pronounced it Rheese
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:28:51 PM] <jemler> ap Rhys, son of Rhys, became Price.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:28:53 PM] <Evie> LOL, Shiral
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:29:23 PM] <KK> What's the difference between Reese and Rheese?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:29:27 PM] <Pol> Shiral, you're making me hungry
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:29:33 PM] <Pol> KK: a typo
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:29:34 PM] <DomMelchior> aspiration
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:29:44 PM] <KK> OK.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:29:48 PM] <Shiral> Omigosh, did Rhys ever put chocolate and peanut butter together???
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:29:49 PM] <the_Bee> A puff of air, I think.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:29:52 PM] <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:29:59 PM] * Evie thwacks Shiral for the pun
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:30:05 PM] <KK> I doubt they had chocolate then.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:30:13 PM] <jemler> maybe he invented pilaf?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:30:13 PM] <Jerusha> Only in pieces, Shiral
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:30:15 PM] * jemler ducks
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:30:15 PM] <Pol> but I like Bee's response
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:30:23 PM] <Shiral> True, but now I can't eat peanut butter cups without thinking of Rhys
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:30:24 PM] <Evie> (Rhys's) Peanut Butter Cups, KK
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:30:24 PM] <the_Bee> true. Chocolate is a new world item
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:30:36 PM] <Pol> Jemler!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:30:38 PM] <Shiral> Sometimes, I just have to have one
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:30:46 PM] <DesertRose> Maybe MerchantDeryni will bring up chocolate in the Camberland stories. :D
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:30:59 PM] <jemler> or 2, or 3, or the whole bag!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:31:06 PM] <Evie> we can hope, DR
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:31:13 PM] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:31:14 PM] <KK> Oh, I know. Ever had them with dark chocolate? They come out occasionally in special editions, like Twix with dark chocolate, usually around Halloween.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:31:26 PM] <Shiral> Yes, I know. Those poor Old Worlders. No chocolate for CENTURIES!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:31:27 PM] <DomMelchior> yum
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:31:32 PM] <Evie> yes, I love the dark chocolate ones
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:31:41 PM] <Jerusha> I don't like peanut butter, but chocolate is another matter
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:31:44 PM] <Shiral> I'll have to try them
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:31:50 PM] <jemler> i like semisweet chocolate. i'm supposed to avoid it until i get a transplant.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:31:52 PM] <Alkari> I like them both, but separately
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:05 PM] <DesertRose> Most of the time I love dark chocolate,but I tried the dark chocolate Snickers bars and I find I prefer the milk chocolate Snickers bars, oddly enough.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:06 PM] <KK> I have little use for milk chocolate, though I make an exception for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:07 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12i'm allergic to chocolate
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:14 PM] <cynicalmedic> There is a company called Groff's in Lancaster Pa, that makes dark chocolate ones year round
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:15 PM] <Pol> Oh, DF.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:17 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, that is a world of suck, DF.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:19 PM] <Pol> how sad
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:29 PM] <Evie> I prefer dark chocolate myself
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:39 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12m&m's are ok, because they're small
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:40 PM] <DesertRose> KK, I have little use for milk chocolate except for Snickers. :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:46 PM] <Evie> Ouch, DF. Can you eat white chocolate, or none at all?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:53 PM] <Jerusha> I still like a milk chocolate bunny at Easter
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:32:59 PM] <KK> Dark M&M's would be awesome.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:33:00 PM] <Pol> oh, I must stand for the Milk Chocolate side of things
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:33:00 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12i stick to M&M's
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:33:02 PM] <Shiral> I'd rather have a small quantity of really wonderful chocolate, than a large quantity of the cheapo stuff
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:33:06 PM] <the_Bee> When I buy candy for Halloween, I always end up eating it myself. I haven't had a trick-or -treater since I moved to Boston in 1978.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:33:17 PM] <DesertRose> My mother still buys me a chocolate bunny every Easter. :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:33:26 PM] <DomMelchior> they do make dark M&M's...they're hard to find, tho
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:33:27 PM] <Pol> aw, DR. Sweet
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:33:27 PM] <cynicalmedic> There are dark M&Ms I just bought a bag
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:33:30 PM] <Evie> I've had dark chocolate M&Ms. Don't know if they're a regular item or a one-shot, but I've had them before
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:33:33 PM] <Pol> My gramma did until she passed
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:33:48 PM] <DesertRose> I think I will get a chocolate bunny every Easter my mother is alive and well enough to go buy one. :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:33:55 PM] <Pol> Ugh, 8 more questions to get rid of...need to get down to 100
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:34:00 PM] <Shiral> I have to work this Halloween. But I'm sure I'll be able to talk myself into some mini peanut butter cups anyway!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:34:06 PM] <DesertRose> And I will be 37 before next Easter. :D
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:34:28 PM] <Alkari> I need to do some work later today. Having retired, I am back at work on contract part-time :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:34:43 PM] <Shiral> I may grow older but I refuse to grow up (entirely)!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:34:45 PM] <the_Bee> M&M makes holiday colors for the season
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:34:51 PM] <Jerusha> Eek, Alkari - is that retirement?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:35:09 PM] <jemler> i'm only 9. when i turned 40, i started over.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:35:13 PM] <Shiral> So how is Alaric and Brion's friendship progressing, KK?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:35:14 PM] <cynicalmedic> You can also order custom M&Ms from their website.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:35:16 PM] <DesertRose> Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:35:19 PM] <Alkari> LOL - well, I can work P/T and can work rom home, so it fits in - and it will help pay for the kitchen :D
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:35:29 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12some never grow up
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:35:31 PM] <Jerusha> Fair enough
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:35:32 PM] <Alkari> I am only doing it for about 5-6 weeks
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:35:46 PM] <Evie> KK, I may send you some questions about Duncan's study sometime soon. Your description of it in the books is surprisingly clear (compared to similar descriptions of rooms in other books), but there are still a few questions that come to mind when I try to sketch it all on graph paper
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:35:54 PM] <KK> Brion has taken Alaric to Coroth so that he can meet with his regents and start easing into what he'll be doing once he's their duke.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:36:07 PM] <Alkari> Though from what they have given me, I need to ab=void being sucked into a longer-term mess.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:36:12 PM] <the_Bee> Who are his regents?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:36:13 PM] <Alkari> * avoid
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:36:55 PM] <jemler> hilary should be one.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:37:00 PM] <Jerusha> Alaric is still ten years old?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:37:15 PM] <KK> He met them the first time Kenneth took him to Coroth to be presented.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:37:30 PM] <KK> Yes, 10.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:37:40 PM] <Jerusha> Sean Derry's father was a regent, IIRC
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:37:46 PM] <KK> Yes
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:37:53 PM] <Shiral> The Big One-Oh
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:38:05 PM] <Jerusha> Still, lots of responsibility for a 10 year old
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:38:19 PM] <Evie> Was his uncle also a regent? What's his name...um...Trevor Udaut or something like that?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:38:29 PM] <KK> He's a mature 10, as we know.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:38:30 PM] <Evie> Derry's, that is
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:38:37 PM] <KK> Yes
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:38:49 PM] <Jerusha> There is still a limit to maturity at the age of 10
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:39:02 PM] <Alkari> I guess like Kelson though, he's grown up with what would be expected of him.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:39:18 PM] <KK> It was Derry's grandfather the first time. By now, he's died and Derry's father has taken his place. I think Derry is born by now.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:39:21 PM] <Jerusha> Duty comes first
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:39:29 PM] <jemler> but with more garbage from the church
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:39:32 PM] <Shiral> And is being extensively prepared for the responsibility
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:39:33 PM] <the_Bee> Remind me--who was the long-suffering steward or seneschal in Deryni Checkmate who kept trying to get Alaric to attend to his paperwork?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:39:38 PM] <Alkari> And i you are in that position, you are raised to do your duty
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:39:48 PM] <jemler> wasn't that Hilary?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:39:49 PM] <Pol> Richard?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:39:58 PM] <Jerusha> Lord Robert, I think
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:40:03 PM] <Shiral> Robert of Tejdal
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:40:03 PM] <Pol> Hmm...crud. Maybe it..
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:40:05 PM] <Pol> yes, Robert.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:40:06 PM] <Alkari> Yes - Robert of Tendall
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:40:13 PM] <Shiral> Tendal, darn fingers!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:40:31 PM] <Jerusha> I liked it when Morgan called him "Robbie"
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:40:33 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12bad fingers
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:40:35 PM] <Alkari> I'm on Alaric's side - accounts ARE tedious!!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:40:41 PM] <Shiral> Every now and t hen my keyboard rebels
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:41:03 PM] <Shiral> I tried to say good bye to KK last week and I couldn't get it to type anything!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:41:15 PM] <KK> But he does know how to do them. We see him working with his Aunt Delphine on that.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:41:24 PM] <DesertRose> Are you on a desktop or a laptop, Shiral?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:41:25 PM] <Shiral> And imagine how tedious when you have all the accounts that a duke has
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:41:29 PM] <Shiral> laptop
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:41:31 PM] <the_Bee> Robert, Lord of Tendal. Thanks, Jerusha
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:41:51 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, well, then that lets out unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back it to see if that helps. :S
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:42:01 PM] <Shiral> I got into some weird window I couldn't figure out how to close
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:42:34 PM] <KK> One of Alaric's cardounet buddies at Coroth is the grandson of one of the regents, then son of one of the regents when his grandfather dies; now he's earl himself, but obviously too young to be a regent.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:42:47 PM] <Shiral> ANYway....I'll bet Alaric had a bit of fun looking around his future castle and maybe finding that room atop the Green Tower, maybe? =o)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:42:50 PM] <Pol> oh, KK, you're torturing me
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:42:54 PM] <Jerusha> Sounds complicated
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:42:55 PM] <Pol> I can't wait to read it
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:43:02 PM] <Pol> will it be offered as an eBook right off?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:43:04 PM] <Pol> Please?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:43:20 PM] <Jerusha> The Green Tower is fascinating
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:43:22 PM] <KK> I doubt it--but maybe. Don't know.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:43:46 PM] <Pol> on Kindle *bats blue eyes appealingly*
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:43:46 PM] <Jerusha> There must be some ancient tomes hidden there somewhere, waiting to be found
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:44:19 PM] <Alkari> And the Ducal library at Coroth is supposed to be 'magnificent'
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:44:26 PM] <Evie> A lot of books now come out on Kindle at the same time they come out in print, so there's hope at least, Pol
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:44:32 PM] <the_Bee> so the Green Tower wasn't walled off after Lewys Ap Norfal's "Incident"?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:44:35 PM] <Shiral> I think Alaric would want to know his way around the place and discover secret passageways, first!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:44:46 PM] <Shiral> RIchenda would want the ancient tomes. =o)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:45:01 PM] <Jerusha> The Green Tower was the only one that wasn't, IIRC
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:45:12 PM] <DomMelchior> Got to go feed the puppy. It was wonderful seeing everyone--have a great evening!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:45:22 PM] <KK> Alaric has been in the library, but not the Green Tower.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:45:23 PM] <DesertRose> I would love to see what Richenda would do with the Protocols of Orin.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:45:28 PM] <DesertRose> Night, DomMelchior.

[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:45:31 PM] <the_Bee> Alaric never discovered a Portal in his youthful explorations at Coroth.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:45:33 PM] <Evie> It wouldn't have been, Bee, since we see Alaric in it in the first trilogy
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:45:49 PM] <Pol> I wish the Camber books would be Audio'd and E'd.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:45:52 PM] <the_Bee> ok, I forgot that.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:46:08 PM] <Shiral> Perhaps a very early morning tour of exploration with no grownups around? =o)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:46:25 PM] <Jerusha> Or a late night prowl?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:46:48 PM] <Shiral> When a ten year-old's curiousity just can't be curbed?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:46:49 PM] <Jerusha> With handfire instead of a candle?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:47:08 PM] <Alkari> I wonder how much young Brendan has explored Coroth? :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:47:15 PM] <DesertRose> Or Briony?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:47:24 PM] <KK> He won't have been in the Green Tower.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:47:26 PM] <Alkari> Yes, though she's stll very young
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:47:33 PM] <Shiral> "Papa, we found a room where the FLOOR tingles!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:47:43 PM] <Alkari> I can see Brendan exploring everywhere he possibly could though
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:47:44 PM] <Pol> green tower...hmmm I must reread
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:47:59 PM] <Alkari> MUCH more exciting than the manor at Marley!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:48:46 PM] <Jerusha> Will Alaric be aware of the Green Tower, though? Even if it might be off limits?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:48:47 PM] <Alkari> I'm glad Alaric has some good childhood friends though
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:49:05 PM] <Shiral> In addition to Duncan. =o)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:49:07 PM] <KK> He'll be given access when he's ready, maybe by Se.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:49:11 PM] <Evie> I wonder if the Coroth portal might have been damaged to the point that it's just unusable now. In which case Alaric might know where it is, but it still wouldn't have done him any good unless he knew how to make a new one.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:49:30 PM] <Pol> but I thought there was a portal at Coroth?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:49:35 PM] <Pol> in the later books?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:49:45 PM] <jemler> not yet
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:49:50 PM] <the_Bee> never mentioned, afaik
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:49:50 PM] <Jerusha> Not that I remember
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:49:56 PM] <DesertRose> Not that anyone is aware of.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:49:58 PM] <Evie> No, or it wouldn't take Alaric so long to get back and forth from Coroth to Rhemuth
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:50:14 PM] <the_Bee> Alaric really ought to make one.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:50:17 PM] <Shiral> He still has to use normal travel methods
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:50:30 PM] <Evie> In my stories he has one by 1132, but not in the original canon
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:50:37 PM] <Jerusha> I wonder what Alaric might find if the other Coroth towers were opened
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:50:54 PM] <jemler> you'ld think that richenda's training might have included portals. she did say that few people could contruct one alone.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:51:24 PM] <the_Bee> I'm sure Alaric could find some helpers.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:51:28 PM] <Jerusha> Denis needed help in HD
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:51:29 PM] <Shiral> So they need to hold a Transfer Portal Party. (Say that three times fast.)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:51:30 PM] <jemler> maybe the council has to approve new portals
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:51:34 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, you'd think that Richenda would help him construct one at some point after their marriage.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:51:55 PM] <KK> Eventually it would happen. But it hasn't as of KKB.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:51:57 PM] <Evie> Richenda was better trained than Alaric, but she also married a non-Deryni by the time she turned 16, so would she have completed her advanced training?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:52:04 PM] <Alkari> LOL - they could just invite Azim and a couple of more modern CC members, and those plus Alaric and Richenda should be OK to construct one
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:52:21 PM] <Evie> If not, then she's probably not know how to make one either, at least until Azim gets around to teaching her.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:52:29 PM] <Alkari> But Azim and Arilan seem very confident in her abilities and training
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:52:44 PM] <Alkari> For her to impress Arilan, she must be pretty good!
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:52:54 PM] <jemler> maybe rothana? richenda said she may be better trained.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:53:06 PM] <KK> Remember that Azim has done some training by the end of KKB.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:53:08 PM] <Shiral> For that matter she impressed Alaric himself.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:53:13 PM] <Jerusha> I suspect the Council may worry about how much she can teach Morgan
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:53:41 PM] <DesertRose> The Council in Kelson's time sticks its nose in places that it really oughtn't.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:53:48 PM] <Shiral> The CC needs to get over itself, somewhat.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:53:55 PM] <DesertRose> Indeed, Shiral. :D
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:54:03 PM] <Evie> She may be very good for her level of training, but still not know all there is to learn about Deryni magic. At least not to the point where she is able to supervise something like Portal construction, although she could probably assist with it.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:54:13 PM] <cynicalmedic> I think Sofiana may help with that/
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:54:23 PM] <the_Bee> They've forgotten their original purpose for existing.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:54:24 PM] <DesertRose> Well, she could probably hijack Azim and/or Sofiana to help.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:54:36 PM] <Jerusha> I would like to read more about Sofiana
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:54:44 PM] <jemler> Sofiana, Azim, Rothana.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:54:50 PM] <DesertRose> Sofiana does seem very interesting. :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:55:03 PM] <Shiral> Kelson as King would have had a problem giving the CC so much power over him. He swore a coronation oath to Gwynedd, which is also pretty solemn and binding
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:55:08 PM] <jemler> maybe even barrett now
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:55:15 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12transfer portal party transfer portal party transfer portal party
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:55:20 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, DF.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:55:34 PM] <Shiral> Yes, I've always wanted to know more about Sofiana
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:55:47 PM] <Jerusha> Kelson would have a problem being a council member and King of Gwynedd
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:55:51 PM] <Alkari> Barrett will have happily run off with Jehana by now
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:56:06 PM] <DesertRose> That doesn't mean he'll have resigned from the Council.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:56:08 PM] <Shiral> Exactly. He couldn't very easily put the council's interests ahead of Gwynedd's
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:56:09 PM] <Alkari> THAT wouyld certainly set toungues wagging at the CC :)
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:56:14 PM] <the_Bee> Didn't Kelson turn down a seat on the CC?
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:56:21 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12yes
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:56:25 PM] <Jerusha> I believe so
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:56:34 PM] <Shiral> Jehana is no longer ruler, but the Queen Mother
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:56:49 PM] <Jerusha> But she still has influence
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:56:55 PM] <Shiral> Oh, definitely
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:57:25 PM] <KK> OK, it's nearly time for Once Upon a TIme, so I have to go.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:57:28 PM] <Shiral> Or perhaps we should say Barrett has influence on HEr
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:57:36 PM] <Jerusha> Me too.
[Sunday, September 30, 2012] [07:57:37 PM] <Shiral> Have a good week, KK

"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.)
