[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:02:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:02:34 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:02:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I"ve found several that I like, including a Royal Library with a thunderstorm in the background
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:02:39 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi KK
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:02:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:02:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi, KK
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:02:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi KK
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:03:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hullo kk
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:03:15 PM EDT] <KK> Nobody has drowned this week, I hope.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:03:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Not me
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:03:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi must have sensed your arrival, as she just bounded up to sit on my lap.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:03:35 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No, and I even beat the thunderstorm home with groceries yesterday, though it was a near thing.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:03:37 PM EDT] <The_Bee> No, but we had thunder this afternoon.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:04:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It's been almost exclusively sunny and hot here, aside from a very mild and quick shower yesterday evening
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:04:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Though that's supposed to change this week
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:04:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Been hot and dry here. Did have a thunderstorm last night but no drowning
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:04:45 PM EDT] <KK> We had a squall race through an hour or so ago, with a few feeble thunder rumbles, but it's clear now. But rain was good. My yard guys dug out some dead grass patches and replanted them, so rain is good!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:04:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> We go back to cool and wet this coming week
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:05:00 PM EDT] <KK> Rain this week will be most welcome.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:05:14 PM EDT] <bynw> it's been cold here this weekend
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:05:19 PM EDT] <bynw> highs in the 50s
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:05:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yesterday we got some fairly spectacular thunderstorms, and I could see the sky darkening as I drove into the parking lot of my building.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:05:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I missed my church's annual meeting because I oversleppt--and I didn't want to ride my bike in 90+ heat.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:05:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Well it's snowing in Colorado
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:05:45 PM EDT] <KK> We were in the 90's all weekend, but no awful humidity.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:05:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Shorter DR yesterday: "Please please please just let me make it to the breezeway before the rain starts!"
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:06:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I even made it upstairs, woohoo!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:06:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> yay!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:06:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I think it got to 87F here today, but it's down to 83 right now
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:07:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> None of the rain moving through the state has moved through here yet, though
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:07:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> We hit 68
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:07:32 PM EDT] <KK> Daphne, as usual, is sitting between my keyboard and the screen, and patting the screen from time to time.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:07:39 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I got upstairs, got the groceries put away, got settled in the +3 Chair of Somnolence with my tea and my Kindle and a Carys who was very displeased about the thunder noise.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:08:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi is sitting on my right forearm, rubbing her forehead on my left hand as I try to type
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:08:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> We had one day of clouds but no rain. sunny today
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:08:22 PM EDT] * bynw notes that today is a mix of joy and sadness but the sadness has not been overwhelming this year
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:08:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And then the skies fell open and it was raining hard enough to smack the windows on the balcony.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:08:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> I so want your rain DR
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:08:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'm glad it hasn't been overwhelming, bynw
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:08:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I would gladly share.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:09:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> That is good to hear bynw
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:09:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> Need a little Deryni magic to push it west
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:09:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Rather a lot of Deryni magic to just push it along I-10.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:09:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL, yeah, I was about to say that
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:09:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> Just lasso it and send it by portal
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:10:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is today an anniversary for you, bynw?
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:10:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Do you have her mixed up with Wonder Woman? 😄
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:10:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:10:21 PM EDT] <bynw> 2 anniversaries
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:10:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That'd just make it unable to lie to me.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:11:16 PM EDT] <The_Bee> or you'll have to obey her every command, depending on which era you're thinking of.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:11:28 PM EDT] <bynw> Joy: My beloved Begnal Kitty Kagi turned 16 today, she's been sleeping through most of it.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:11:48 PM EDT] <KK> Wow, 16 is great innings for a kitty!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:11:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello everyone
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:12:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:12:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:12:09 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Shiral.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:12:18 PM EDT] <bynw> Saddness: Her sister Andi wasn't here to join in on being 16 since she passed 4 years ago this august
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:12:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I am incapussitated.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:12:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> By w, that's just so cute how we both have kitties one apart in age. 🙂 Pot pie was 16 yesterday.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:12:53 PM EDT] <bynw> Saddness: This is the 13th year since I lost Susie and this channel and Deryni Fandom lost this Mistress of Complications.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:13:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hey Shiraz. 🙂
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:13:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri and I will have our twelfth anniversary on July 31, which will also be Tati's and my 6th Anniversary
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:13:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> L
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:13:25 PM EDT] <KK> I was pretty sure that was the other anniversary. She is still much missed.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:13:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝is astonished to find herself transformed into a bottle of red wine␝
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:13:44 PM EDT] <bynw> yes she is KK
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:14:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The Secret Circles haven't been the same without Susan
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:14:27 PM EDT] <KK> Indeed.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:14:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> That means I've been around here for around 12 years, I think, since I think I just barely missed Susan
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:15:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> If you have a thing for Duncan, Susan had a Thing for Stefan Coram
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:15:32 PM EDT] <bynw> yes she did
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:15:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Man of Mystery. I suspect she'd have like Sir Se, then
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:16:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I think she could have found a soft spot in her heart for him, yes
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:16:41 PM EDT] <Laurna> At least our dear Susan didn't bring Stefan in to the modern age and dress him (cough) in modern attire. At least I do not know well enough if she did.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:16:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Nope. She didn't have a miniature Deryni factory!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:17:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> In Susan's honor, I was sometimes tempted to call myself "Seeker or simplifications."
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:17:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> You never know, he might have looked quite dapper in a modern suit, Laurna! 😉
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:17:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Or drop him wearing shorts at the queen's garden party...
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:17:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> Exactly true Evie
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:17:26 PM EDT] <The_Bee> of not or
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:17:42 PM EDT] * bynw generally listens to the last voicemail that Susie left him on this day. That way he can hear her voice again and never forget it.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:18:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> You'd want Stefan to drop his shorts at the queen's garden party?
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:18:24 PM EDT] <KK> Awwwwww, Bynw. Hugs!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:18:43 PM EDT] <Laurna> No bee. lets not do that like EVER
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:19:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> No, Bee, I'm referring to what Evie did to poor Duncan. 🙂
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:19:14 PM EDT] <KK> I'm not sure, but I think Revanne and her sister were at the Queen's garden party last week, and met Duchess Kate.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:19:33 PM EDT] <bynw> yes KK they were both there
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:19:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> splendid!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:19:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Alaric was topless in one of the pictures
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:19:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> KK, Demercia was invited to the Queen's Garden Party as an honorary Queen's Chaplain , and Revanne was her "plus one," so I created a few pictures for the occasion with "Duncan and Alaric" as gatecrashers. 😄

[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:20:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> https://www.flickr.com/gp/9573389@N08/CpR3Y4
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:20:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Duncan was, DFK. Alaric wears a stiletto, so I wouldn't dare! 😉
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:20:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> I was so excited for Revanne and Dermcia, they were up front and the very first people for the earl, the countess and duchess to Meet.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:20:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Alaric was definitely not dressed for the occasion. I think he was embarassed
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:21:15 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, I wasn't sure what Demercia's red cassock signified, but I guessed that she was the one who'd gotten the official invitation.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:21:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Alaric was fully dressed, just not in as much sartorial splendor as he might have liked, having left the ducal coronet at home.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:21:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> She was, yes.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:21:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> A great honor, certainly. Although I'm sure Alaric would have rather been suitably dressed. "Duncan, what in the world is a "Morning coat"??
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:21:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I think she looks lovely in the red cassock
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:22:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> "Is it like a jerkin worn for mourning? Why wear that to a garden party?"
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:22:32 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am tickled pink for them, just a splended event
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:22:42 PM EDT] <KK> That was Countess Sophie next to Kate, so they got to meet both of them.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:22:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Maybe Duncanh should start wearing a stiletto in his boot
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:22:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> "I'm still working on what a "Garden Party" might be, Alaric..."
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:23:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yes and the earl of wessixs too
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:23:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> "I imagine it's a party in a garden, Duncan...." ␝upraised eyebrow␝
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:23:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝adds an elegant china platter of lovely petitfours in honor of Demercia and Revanne.␝
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:24:17 PM EDT] <KK> It looked like they had a good day for it.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:24:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> "But....are we expected to plant things???"
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:24:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> ␝snarfs up a petitfour␝
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:24:23 PM EDT] <Laurna> Revanne said Kate was very nice and freindly
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:24:48 PM EDT] <KK> That's what I've heard about her.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:25:07 PM EDT] * The_Bee lifts a flagon of ale in honor of the royal garden party.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:25:27 PM EDT] * Laurna seconds Bee's toast
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:25:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> It is outside in the garden abd those invited are being honored for their services to their communities. I noticed quite a few red cassock so they must be the Queen's chaplains
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:26:12 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, I believe there are lots of them.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:26:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I think Revanne said how many, but I can't remember how many she said. Something like 40 or 70.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:26:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> Revanne said they remain honored chaplains for the life of the queen
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:27:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝raises a bone china cup of superb tea in honor of the royal garden party␝
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:27:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> And Duchess Kate was wearing Haldane crimson or close to it
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:27:27 PM EDT] <KK> Which, sadly, will not be all that long.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:28:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Not much longer, but at 96, I think she's the longest reigning monarch to date
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:28:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I suppose each sovereign ends up picking their own
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:28:13 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Her Majesty will be a hard act to follow.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:28:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> And that is pretty good innings.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:28:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Or however it is that they are chosen each reign
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:28:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Her mother lived to be 102
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:28:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> Demercia could be chosen again in a few years.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:29:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> If she's not decided to retire by then
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:30:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> It's a lovely way to recognize those who contribute so much to their communties
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:30:38 PM EDT] <KK> Could be. Revanne was not ready to retire when she did, but that was because of her husband's health. I think she's hoping to "re-enlist".
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:31:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> I think she said she is going back to parttime soon
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:31:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Was Demercia honored for a specific contribution?
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:31:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> She has gotten approval from the bishop and will again be able to take services and help overburdened clergy. I think she said her first service will be June 19
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:31:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> I wish Revanne or Demercia were here to answer that
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:32:57 PM EDT] <KK> It's very late where they are.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:33:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:33:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Revanne went to bed about 3 hours ago
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:33:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:33:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha

[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:33:49 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:33:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> Was the chicken good to eat
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:33:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Welcome To Deryni Addicts Anonymous....
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:34:02 PM EDT] <Laurna> Thats us!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:34:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, it was cooked perfectly
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:34:09 PM EDT] <Laurna> Nice
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:34:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I can take no credit for that
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:34:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh good
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:34:26 PM EDT] * bynw misses the days when he could say something in the chat to torture players in his game with ...
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:34:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yum! I love leftover rotisserie chicken for making chicken salad
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:34:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> You can always do another game....
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:34:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> HEHE Bynw, take your best shot!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:34:52 PM EDT] <bynw> oh i will
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:35:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> And sandwich chicken for club sandwiches
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:35:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝hurls goldfish crackers into the chat room with a desk top trebuchet␝
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:35:27 PM EDT] <bynw> going to let life settle into its new role first
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:35:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Speaking of missing folks
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:35:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> One of my favorite memories of summer in Vermont was chicken barbecues.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:35:48 PM EDT] <Laurna> yumm
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:35:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sent GS2 a trebochet kit for Christmas
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:35:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Pulled chicken barbecue is yummy
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:36:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> You are arming GS2 to take down the house?
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:37:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That doesn't mean you are not plotting, Bynw
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:37:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Between GS2 and his dad, you never know for sure
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:37:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I suspect he is always plotting
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:38:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> A good gym always is... 🙂
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:38:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Gym = gm
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:38:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or he might be lifting weights
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:38:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol you had be at Gym
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:38:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> You kind of made me wonder with that one, Nezz. 😉
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:39:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Auto-correct is awful on the iPad
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:39:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I thought he was plotting new exwecise regimens
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:39:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Count me out!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:39:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Fifty squats every morning!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:39:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Is GS2's dad your Ds or your SIL?
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:39:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Over my dead tush
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:39:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> 😄
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:40:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I would go down once and never rise again
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:40:09 PM EDT] <KK> No squats for me. I'd never get up.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:40:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> GS2's dad is my DS1
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:40:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> got it!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:40:34 PM EDT] <Laurna> I wonder how you roll the dice for exercising
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:40:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Duncan might be wondering if he should assign that for Alaric's next major penance.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:40:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> All the rolls would be 1s
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:41:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> If you used just one di.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:42:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Helena is up for exercising: https://www.flickr.com/gp/9573389@N08/53UCi8
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:42:13 PM EDT] <KK> Reminds me of a Lady Violet line from the Downton movie, where she makes a deep curtsey to the King and he offers her hand and says, "May I help you?" and she answers, as he does, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Someone must."
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:42:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> :~D
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:42:48 PM EDT] <KK> Aww, Helena has cute flowered sneakers!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:42:59 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:43:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> So who is drinking the beer while Helena exercises?
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:43:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes! I have a small collection of insanely cute sneakers, but those are among my favorites
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:43:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Duncan. 😄
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:43:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> So see? Squats would keep a lady in good shape for all the curtseys!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:43:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> I love how the boys are leaning back incase she falls, she wont fall on them.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:43:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> That's probably because she already fell once, Laurna! 😄
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:43:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "Wait! Save my beer!" (Sorry, Helena)
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:43:59 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:45:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I think they'd need to lean forward to avoid being fallen on.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:45:32 PM EDT] <Laurna> or to catch her, if they were proper knights of the realm
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:45:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> The sun was setting, which is why they are so bright, so maybe they wanted to try to lean back into the shadow
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:46:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> They're there to help break her fall, as long as they can save the beer first. 😉
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:46:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> You have Duncan reading Harry Potter. That is just not right
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:47:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I think he'd enjoy it
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:47:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Maybe he'd enjoy the laugh
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:47:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> perhaps he can learn to ride on broom sticks
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:48:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> "That is NOT how magic works! But that would be really fun if it did...hm...."
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:48:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I think e would prefer horses, more comfortable
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:48:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> The other book is a history textbook about Kelsonian Gwynedd. He's checking it for errors.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:48:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> Broom sticks don't require brushing and feeding
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:48:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Only if you ride them regularly
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:49:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> May be he could have a flying horse
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:49:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> Oh good, I could not read that title
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:49:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It's the mini-book I created the Kelson book cover for.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:49:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> click on the thumbnails to enlarge them.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:49:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Excellent cover!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:50:02 PM EDT] <KK> brb
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:50:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> This one: https://flic.kr/p/2n4rsii
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:50:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Love the bar code
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:50:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Rhemuth appears to bear a resemblance to the city of Carcassonne, in France
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:50:40 PM EDT] <Laurna> I want that book
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:51:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I do too, though I discovered too late that it's mirrored and the numbers are all reversed. But you can't tell in 1:6 scale.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:51:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It's the thought that counts
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:51:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> There's a reason for that, Shiral. 😄
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:51:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I suspect there is. 😉 I've visited Carcassonne--a very cool place!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:52:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> There are not a lot of intact-looking walled medieval cities to pick from when choosing background photos to work from.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:52:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Certainly not anymore, and that's the truth
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:52:53 PM EDT] <KK> back
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:52:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Since I don't have a TARDIS to go back and take my own photos, I have to work with what's out there.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:52:56 PM EDT] <bynw> that's a shame. walled cities are nice to have
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:53:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> What thumbnails are you talking about Bee?
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:53:30 PM EDT] <The_Bee> the tiny pics below the big picture.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:53:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Funny you refer to TARDIS, considering what I'm watching this very moment... 🙂
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:53:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'd love to have one of those Star Trek Holodecks, and have a good old RPG session in a virtual Rhemuth.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:54:12 PM EDT] <Laurna> I will join you
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:54:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> My desires are very modest, as you can tell
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:54:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Count me in
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:54:31 PM EDT] <bynw> run program Ghost of the Past version 2
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:54:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm there...
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:54:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I want that too. I'm sitting here listening to a tavern ambiance in AMSR, since that's the closest I can get to a holodeck
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:55:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> This one: https://youtu.be/_4OfDN6X9oc
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:55:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Check and see if you can find Derry enjoying a pint
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:55:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> So I'm pretending I'm chatting with you all in a cosy tavern. 😉
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:55:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Now I'm ␝Really␝ there...
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:55:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'm pretty sure Derry was here a second ago. Look behind me. 😄
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:56:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> "Stewth, I'm late! My wife will heap contumely upon my head!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:56:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:56:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> 🙂
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:56:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Pass me my lute
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:57:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> That's the one thing that ruins the total immersion experience--all the people sounds, but no people in the scene
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:57:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> Play for us a joyous tune
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:57:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> We need to hear more about Gwydion... Maybe he was summoned back to play for some Royal Weddings
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:57:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, I do miss Gwydion
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:57:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> The queens garden party and the after party in the tavern
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:57:43 PM EDT] <KK> Great ambiance!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:58:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Which is why I like the ones like the Royal Library in the evening, so you can hear the fireplace crackle and the pages turn, and the occasional clap of thunder and the rain outside, but there aren't any people noises to explain away since no people are in the scene.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:58:30 PM EDT] <bynw> if there are no people ... who is turning the pages??
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:58:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> The pages
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:58:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> magic
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:58:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I like to listen to medieval ambiance when I write, though with the sound turned way down so it's mostly subliminal. It helps cut out background distractions and sets up a scene in my head.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:59:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Well, presumably ␝you␝ would be in the room, bynw, so it would be you turning the page.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [7:59:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Or maybe the librarian conveniently sitting behind you. But in any case, not a crowd noise where there is clearly no crowd present.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [8:00:38 PM EDT] <KK> I'm going to check out. There's a program on the madness of King George on PBS that I want to watch. See you guys next week, and stay healthy and safe!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [8:00:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Have a good week, KK
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [8:00:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> Have a good week KK
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [8:00:57 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [8:00:59 PM EDT] <bynw> have a good week KK
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [8:01:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Night KK. Enjoy the Program
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [8:01:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Night and happy week!
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [8:01:06 PM EDT] <bynw> thanks for stopping in
[Sunday, May 22, 2022] [8:01:08 PM EDT] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: https://mibbit.com Online IRC Client).
