[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:02:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:02:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:02:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:02:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hey hey, it's KK
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:02:52 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:03:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> But not the Monkees. Even if KK has her silly moments sometimes. :D
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:03:08 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Kk
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:03:10 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:03:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi has arrived just in time to see KK
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:03:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Good Timing Gigi
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:03:49 PM EDT] <KK> Daphne is blocking the screen, as per usual.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:04:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> LOL, hi Daphne and Gigi.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:04:09 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is a Kitty's job, hello Daphne
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:04:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hi Gig
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:04:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys is hanging out on her cat tree, but she had been in my desk chair which is part of why I'm chatting on the tablet.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:04:27 PM EDT] <Laurna> Gigi
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:04:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> The other part is that I'm feeling lazy and comfy in the +3 Chair of Somnolence.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:05:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Now that I have been given the opportunity to closely inspect her bum, Gigi has settled onto my lap
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:05:14 PM EDT] <KK> Those recliners do encourage naps, don't they?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:05:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> lol

[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:05:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Bee. How is life in Boston?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:05:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> The trouble is trying to get up from a recliner
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:05:47 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hello everyone!
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:06:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Texting with my mom because my WTForecast app gave me a funny remark about "forget it, the humidity is going to make your hair look like [expletive deleted]," and she and I both fight the humidity rather a lot since we both have wavy hair, so we're joking about the practically-nonexistent good hair days in Florida.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:06:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> not bad.  I spent the afternoon watching the Bunker Hill Day parade.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:06:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hullo Bee
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:06:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> That sounds cool, Bee
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:06:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> What do they do for the parade, Bee?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:07:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Today was Flower Communion Sunday at church.  I brought home a bigred rose.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:07:23 PM EDT] <KK> We've got heat and humidity coming t his week. Yuck!
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:07:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> When I was in florida, my hair actually grew a little curly wave in it. I loved it. so much better than stick straight
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:07:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Oh cool!
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:07:45 PM EDT] <KK> I like my straight stick hair!
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:08:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> That's how we know the Pod-Child's hair truly is just that straight; unless she curls it intentionally, even Florida doesn't make it wavy.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:08:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> We're gonna hit 97 today, but no humidity, thank goodness...
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:08:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> She did, unfortunately, inherit enough of my/Mom's hair genetics to get the temple wispies that never really grow long enough to join the rest of her hair; I tell her they're the horns that hold up our haloes.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:09:07 PM EDT] <Laurna> 92F here with a touch of humidity
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:09:19 PM EDT] <bynw> it's 87 right now but feels like 94
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:09:34 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL DR
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:09:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> We won't see highs below 80 and probably not below 85 until October, I don't guess.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:09:47 PM EDT] Join TMTMTM (2d1bc80d@owirc-fh8.evo.99.167.IP) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:09:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It's supposed to get into the 90s and feel like the low 100s starting tomorrow, I think
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:09:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> 71 here
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:09:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi TMTMTM
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:09:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Today was fairly hot, but not that hot
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:09:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hello TM
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:10:02 PM EDT] <KK> Wasn't all that hot here today, but this next week looks to be a bear.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:10:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi TM
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:10:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We need rain.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:10:38 PM EDT] <Laurna> I turned on my AC for the first time yesterday when it hit 91
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:10:39 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Hmm, the instructions said I had to have a site login to get in? Ah, well. tmcd here.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:10:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I'd send you some if I could.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:10:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello TMTMTM
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:11:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> If you were trying to use Kiwi, yeah, you have to be logged into the forum to link in.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:11:16 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Kiwi isn't responding.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:11:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I think. I might be confused; the IRC client links are more bynw's department than mine. ;)
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:11:32 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> 104�F here, Heat Index 107�F (42�C)
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:11:37 PM EDT] <bynw> you dont have to be logged into the forum to use Kiwi
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:11:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Ouch
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:11:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> 😬
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:11:50 PM EDT] <KK> Yuck, Bynw!
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:11:56 PM EDT] <Laurna> That is summer weather not spring
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:11:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> When I use kiwi, I get a forbidden message, then I try again and I get right in.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:12:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Where are you, TM? That sounds like Phoenix weather.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:12:06 PM EDT] Join bynw_from_kiwi (bynw_from_@owirc-2i84h0.icsincorporated.com) has joined this channel.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:12:15 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi bynw
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:12:27 PM EDT] <bynw_from_kiwi> works just fine. sometime kiwi will give a connection error just click the button again and it works
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:12:33 PM EDT] Quit bynw_from_kiwi (bynw_from_@owirc-2i84h0.icsincorporated.com) has left this server (Quit: Connection closed).
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:12:52 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> "Chat Room Via CGI" here, not Kiwi. -- I'm in Central Texas. It usually doesn't get that hot here until like July and August, and the humidity is probably higher than in Arizona.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:13:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Yikes. That is some ridiculous heat right there.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:13:40 PM EDT] <bynw> yeah that one is only available if you are logged in. and it's a last resort
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:13:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The country seems to be divided between heat waves and flood waves.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:14:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> We're supposed to have heat indices into the 100s this next week too, along with thunderstorms basically every afternoon, because it wouldn't be Florida if not for the daily afternoon thundershower.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:14:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> But at least you are here TMTMTM
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:14:34 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Floods of water or floods of lava, choose one.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:14:50 PM EDT] <Laurna> Thunder "Shower" I want some please
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:14:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Carys about lost her mind about yesterday's because it was blowing towards our windows and balcony door and I think she was afraid we were going to have water on the floor. She doesn't much care to be wet, because cat.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:15:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Ugh, I haven't checked the forecast for rain yet. I nearly got caught in floodwaters last week, so I'm not too keen on that happening again!
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:15:15 PM EDT] <KK> We had a thunderstorm sort of 3ish this morning that woke me up, and another around 7, though neither lasted all that long. At least it gave the grass a drink.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:15:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:15:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I would share, if I had weather magic. We're quite hydrated enough, kthnx.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:15:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:15:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:15:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:15:36 PM EDT] <Laurna> I am letting half my front lawn die so I can at least have some green lawn out front
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:15:40 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:15:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> Darcy has Hair
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:15:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:15:55 PM EDT] <bynw> hi jerusha
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:16:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL Doll hair at least
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:16:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I think I talked my friend Angela into planting thyme for ground cover in her front yard.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:16:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yippee for Darcy!
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:16:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Attempting to read what I am typing from between a nosy cat's ears
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:16:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> I tried some Thyme but it died instantly.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:16:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> Not sure what I did wrong
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:16:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> They recently had some trees removed (they were going to fall if not cut soon), so now she has full sun where she had a great deal of shade, and she was trying to come up with something besides grass to put there.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:16:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Some thymes it does not work
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:17:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> @Laurna The TV show I was trying to tell you about earlier is called "Time Crashers."
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:17:06 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> oy
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:17:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> Cool Evie. thanks I will check it out
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:17:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> She may put in a kitchen herb garden there, since a lot of kitchen herbs like full sun and mostly don't need as much water as grass does to be healthy.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:17:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Periwinkle is a good ground cover and tolerates shade.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:17:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'm going to drag out the mackerel launcher if you keep being punny, Jerusha
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:17:48 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> If anyone in the US or Canada wants to look into native plants, https://www.wildflower.org/plants/ from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:17:52 PM EDT] <Laurna> Loading Fish sticks to head to Canada
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:17:56 PM EDT] <KK> I like periwinkle.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:17:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've planted Melantha's ashes under a rose bareroot.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:18:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Who, Me? (picture of innocence)
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:18:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Did you use the mackerel launcher on TM in the forum?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:18:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh, I'll bet Melantha likes it there. 🙂
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:18:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> We have a mackerel launcher in the forum? 😄
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:19:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Angela has the link to the the local agricultural extension, and one of our other friends volunteers for the help line, so I think she'll come up with something good to put in her suddenly sunny yard.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:19:06 PM EDT] <Laurna> It was aimed north
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:19:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I meant for his comment in the forum
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:19:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> BRB, need to set supper up.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:19:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I haven't checked the forum in a few days. It's been a busy weekend.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:19:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Trust me, you'll want the launcher
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:19:43 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Mackerel? Wouldn't pikes be more appropriate?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:19:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> 😄
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:19:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'd like it better if she were curled up in my lap.  I want a new cat, but the landlady said my apartment was too messy.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:19:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or at least pickeral
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:20:18 PM EDT] <bynw> the chat classic has always been a trout
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:20:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Does your landlord define "messy" Bee?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:20:39 PM EDT] <Laurna> Mackerel Is most common
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:20:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> altough mackeral has also been popular
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:21:16 PM EDT] <KK> So clean up your apartment. :-) New cat should be a great incentive.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:21:22 PM EDT] <Laurna> Or Fish crackers which I can not recall the name of at this instant. Senility is setting in
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:21:26 PM EDT] <The_Bee> bad. i keep trying to clear it, but the mess keeps returning.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:21:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Goldfish crackers
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:21:58 PM EDT] <KK> I know the feeling, though I did eliminate two boxes of stuff this week. Small victories!
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:22:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've read about sardine crackers.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:22:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Do you have any kind of housekeeping, Bee?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:22:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Didn't your family give it a cleaning as a birthday present?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:22:14 PM EDT] <KK> Goldfish?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:22:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yay for small victories
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:22:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Once or twice a week.  And my sisters came down for my birthday.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:22:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Like goldfish crackers as croutons in salads
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:23:05 PM EDT] <KK> Never thought of that,but sounds delish.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:23:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Sardine crackers are meant for cats.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:23:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:24:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> or goldfish crackers in cream of tomato soup
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:24:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> also called stinky crackers
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:24:35 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Speaking of sardine crackers, I have a question for KK about Arc-en-Ciel.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:24:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I might pass on those
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:24:37 PM EDT] <The_Bee> sardine crackers, I mean
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:24:43 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> I really suck at segues.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:24:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:24:52 PM EDT] <KK> Ask away.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:24:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:25:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I was going to ask how sardine crackers relate to Arc-en-Ciel! 😄
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:25:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> heh
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:25:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Rainbow sardines
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:25:16 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> rainbow ... rain .... water?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:25:52 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Anyway. Anyway, if I may ask: whatever happened to Arc-en-Ciel? The Doylist explanation is "it was a prequel so it hadn't been set up in the Original Trilogy". Any Watsonian (= "in-universe") thoughts?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:26:27 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> I can think of a few possibilities, but ...
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:26:37 PM EDT] <KK> Just because it wasn't mentioned doesn't mean it wasn't there.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:27:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Alyce was dead when the original trilogy was written.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:27:30 PM EDT] <KK> That's certainly true.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:27:35 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> As long as it doesn't have Kelson and Dhugal going thru the crumbling remains, commenting on the strong jawbone of the abbess...
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:27:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Do you think the convent continued being quietly pro (or at least not anti) Deryni into Kelson's day?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:28:26 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> My own thought is that orders go into and out of popularity. This century it's the Cluniacs, next century it's the Cistercians.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:28:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Does kelson know about Arc-en-Ciel?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:28:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Once into Kelson's day, it didn't have to be quiet about it. 🙂
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:28:54 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Do I remember right that Arc-en-Ciel was Bremagne in origin?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:29:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I would imagine he would be at least slightly aware of the convents and monasteries in his kingdom, though maybe not super familiar with them all
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:29:21 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Bremagnish? Bremagnifier? whatever the adjectival form would be.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:29:59 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Anyway, if it was from Bremagne, maybe Jehane was negative on them for their toleration / laxity and made sure that any remaining royal patronage stopped.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:30:17 PM EDT] <KK> brb
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:30:27 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Remind me--where did Jehana go when she retreated from Rhemuth?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:30:35 PM EDT] <Laurna> We know Kenneth's youngest daughter went there after Alaric was born. So I imagine I twas still a viable convent for many years.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:30:35 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> awww hope I didn't drive KK away!
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:30:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or they may have been happy with their seclusion
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:30:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> St. Giles, I think, Bee
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:30:46 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Jehana went to some place in Eastmarch?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:31:00 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> I think
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:31:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Loris' turf, IIRC.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:31:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Probably not, @TMTMTM. She sometimes has things like phone calls come up that call her away from keyboard
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:31:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> or a cat emergency
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:31:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> SAINT GILES ABBEY—convent in the lake region of Shannis Meer, near the Eastmarch border
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:32:03 PM EDT] <Laurna> Given that there were no royal daughters in the next several decades. The Convent likely just stayed quiet through the Lori's years.

[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:32:34 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Just got disconnected

[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:32:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Rei
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:32:51 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Probably just because I tried to paste too much of a review of Deryni Checkmate.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:32:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> rehi, I meant (rented fingers)

[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:33:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> WB
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:33:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> ␝snork␝
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:33:17 PM EDT] <KK> I'm back.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:33:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:33:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> WB
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:33:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Welcome back
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:33:39 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Yeah, Jehane went off to St Giles which is apparentyly on Shannis Meer
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:33:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Heh, I've been working on "Places" in the Deryni wiki
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:34:19 PM EDT] <Laurna> Thank you for doing that NEzz
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:34:58 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Anyway, my own pet theory is that time and fashion, and Jehane, put the kibosh on close ties between Haldanes and Arc-en-Ciel.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:35:48 PM EDT] <The_Bee> but now that she's starting to accept her Deryni heritage?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:36:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> A lack of royal daughters in recent years would also mean no royal women would be seeing out the convent life there (or anywhere else, for that matter) after Silke went off to wherever she went.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:36:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> She might not have been very fimiliar with all the Convents in the kingdom. Only the ones that were recommended by her own Priest
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:36:25 PM EDT] <KK> I could see Jehana going to Arc-en-Ciel one day.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:36:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> After Barrett's death, you mean?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:36:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> NICE
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:37:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Didn't Jehanna have a daughter by Barret? She could go to Arc-en Ceil
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:37:02 PM EDT] <KK> To visit, anyway.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:37:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> No guarantees shse'll outlive Barrett... 😉
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:37:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Ah
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:37:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> True, Nezz, though statistically speaking it seems fairly likely
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:37:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Given that he is twice her age
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:37:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> It does 🙂
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:37:42 PM EDT] <Laurna> I hope she outlives Barret. He was a bit older than here
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:38:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'd like to meet Jehana's brother, King Ryol sometime
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:38:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> Briony could have gone to Arc-en Ceil. but I think the Schola University took up a lot of young students. I hope the Schola took women and men alike.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:38:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I wonder if Ryol is also anti-Deryni, or if that was just a mindset Jehana picked up when she was being educated in a convent that had those leanings?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:39:02 PM EDT] <KK> Lots of interesting questions here.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:39:35 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Barret was 20 years older than Methusalah
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:39:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:39:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Now that's ond!
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:39:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Maybe just slightly younger than that. 😄
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:40:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Old, I meant
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:40:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> She marries Barrett and has his daughter who must be a powerful Deryni given her heritage so raising her will be a big responsibility. And she is still the king's mother. I thought her retreats into convents were to try to escape or atone for being a Deryni. I don't think that is any longer the case so I don't see her retreating into convent life again.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:40:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Ryol provided his sister with an escort when she returned to Rhemuth.  And isn't he Deryni too?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:40:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Briony might spend a little time at Arc-en-Ciel, though, since her grandmother and several aunts did. Just as a student; I can't feature Alaric and Richenda shipping her off to a convent as other than a student unless she expresses a vocation.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:40:49 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Bescacon are Deryni on both sides (High Deryni) so he has to be
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:41:00 PM EDT] <Laurna> I agree DFK
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:41:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And I'm guessing "Bremagni" to be the adjectival form of "Bremagne."
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:41:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I don't think she would enter convent life to escape her Deryni bloodline again, but entering one was a very common "retirement plan" for royal and noble women once they were widowed and their children were grown.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:41:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It was like the medieval version of entering a retirement home
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:41:48 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I agree, DR
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:42:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Kept them out of the way of a son's wife
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:42:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I need to leave early, y'all have a great week. 🙂
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:42:05 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> A Brother Cadfael mystery had retirement houses on the monestary's grounds.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:42:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Bye Nezz
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:42:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, Nezz
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:42:28 PM EDT] <The_Bee> which one, TMTMTM?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:42:29 PM EDT] <Laurna> Queen Micheala of many earlier generations, remained in the castle with her ladies around her.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:42:41 PM EDT] <Laurna> Good night Nezz, enjoy your evening
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:42:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Too often women were forced into convents for political reasons or as punsihment for being on the wrong side of a fight. Alas, too often vocation has little to do with it.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:42:46 PM EDT] <KK> Nighters, Nezz.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:42:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> bye nezz
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:42:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> G'night Nezz.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:43:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> True. I just can't see the adored firstborn child of Alaric and Richenda being forced so.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:43:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nope, I think not, DR
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:43:41 PM EDT] <KK> No, Alaric and Richenda would never force that.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:43:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I think Briony will be allowed to make her own choice.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:43:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> Agreed
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:44:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> And as KK pointed out in ␝Deryni Magic␝, women Healers might wind up taking the veil, if they were set aside as wives for infertility.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:44:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Which is something Briony might wish to study.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:44:34 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> The later books' people aren't the ruthless manipulators of the Childe Morgan books.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:44:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> But not all Women Healers had that trouble of Infertility. We know that from Lady Jerusha
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:44:50 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> (bit of whiplash switching between them)
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:45:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Some weren't, anyway. I would hardly call either Corrigan or Loris a warm fuzzy person.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:45:25 PM EDT] <Laurna> Yikes NO
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:45:27 PM EDT] <KK> Lol, no.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:45:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I know healer girls give their mom difficult pregnancies; was Jerusha infertile?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:45:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> I wonder, given that Rhys could name four women Healers, and KK posits that the only way he'd know their names was if they were attached to convents, how many women Healers just didn't get trained because no one thought to look.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:45:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Egad, no0
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:45:50 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Corrigan and Loris might be fuzzy, if the embalming went off.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:45:51 PM EDT] <Laurna> Jerusha had three children
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:45:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I do not see Briony as convent material. I do think she will want to sturdy her healing power. Who knows, she might visit her younger brother's Center of Healing for that purpose
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:46:19 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> "younger brother's Center of Healing"?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:46:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Was Briony actually a healer?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:46:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> Sending a shark through the Fish launcher to TMTMTM.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:47:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Loris isn't such a peach of a guy that we'd want to ever see him fuzzy.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:47:23 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Maybe Healng genetic is like color-blind genetics:  a female needs two Xh genes.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:47:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> Which tracks right alongside my curiosity about how many Healers specifically and Deryni at all went undetected among the poorer economic classes, even during the times when Deryni could openly be trained.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:47:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> The center for healing that Washburn is building at his new manor
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:47:35 PM EDT] <TMTMTM> Briony a healer? ... did I miss a book?
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:47:35 PM EDT] <KK> Ack, guys, I need to sign off. A dear friend has just called with a difficult problem requiring sympathy and counsel. See you guys in chat next week.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:47:37 PM EDT] <Laurna> Every Fan fic I have read says she was a healer, but not listed in the codez
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:47:57 PM EDT] <Laurna> Be a good friend KK. And have a nice week
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:47:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <DesertRose (she/her)> G'night, KK, take care, have a good week, hugs and kind thoughts for your friend.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:48:01 PM EDT] <bynw> thanks for coming KK. take care of your friend and yourself
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:48:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Glad you came, KK Go and comfort your friend.
[Sunday, June 12, 2022] [7:48:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, KK. Hope all goes well

"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.)
