[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:00:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Perfect timing KK
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:00:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh, good timing!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:00:23 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all. Wakey wakey!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:00:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> hi!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:00:44 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:00:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> How are you?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:01:04 PM EDT] <KK> How is everyone tonight? Or this afternoon, for our West Coasters.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:01:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Laurna is making lemon tarts they should be out of the oven soon.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:01:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Send me a couple of tarts, yeah?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:01:20 PM EDT] <KK> OOOh, yum, Laurna!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:01:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Warming up portal system
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:01:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Doing OK. Just got back from grocery shopping, so give me a minute to get settled in
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:02:21 PM EDT] <bynw> I am doing fantastic. Just having supper and counting down the days
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:02:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm in good shape: eating ice cream. 🙂
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:02:44 PM EDT] <KK> I've made major inroads on my office this afternoon. I can now see the floor and the TV trays to the right of the desk area.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:02:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Nicely done
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:03:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Nice!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:03:24 PM EDT] <bynw> that's awesome
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:04:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> We have been studying the feudal nobility system. and Revanne made a interesting remark about how the crown owns all the land that between the high water mark and the low water mark on the coast so no private beaches. I wonder if Morgan knows that about his beaches and harbors.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:05:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Assuming Gwyneddan law is like UK law in that respect, I am certain he would be aware of that.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:05:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> So all those shiral crystals found on the beach belong to the king
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:05:52 PM EDT] <KK> It's a start. And I got my second Covid booster yesterday; sore arm into the night, but all but gone today. No other after-effects.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:05:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> And also that would be comparing modern UK law to medieval Gwyneddan law
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:06:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Glad to hear the side effects did not last long.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:06:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Lucky, KK! I always have to time my Covid boosters for a Friday, since I always have a fever and lethargy the next day.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:06:58 PM EDT] <KK> Good point about shiral crystals.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:07:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi with her shrimp breath has turned up to purr at everyone
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:07:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> KK, would you consider answering one of our burning questions about a character? Is Bethane Deryni, or does she get her magic some other way?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:08:27 PM EDT] <KK> I think she was probably Deryni, or at lest part Deryni.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:08:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Good enough. there's been some debate amongst some of us.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:09:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Is there some other way for people to do magic that's not deryni-based?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:09:18 PM EDT] <KK> That's hardly surprising. ;-)
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:09:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> We know that half breed Deryni that show any power are still Deryni. So good answer
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:09:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> There are the Border folk who know warding lore of their own, and gifts like dowsing

[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:10:30 PM EDT] <CGI425> Hello, am I here?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:10:31 PM EDT] <KK> Of their own. Still could be from Deryni bood.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:10:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hello CGI
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:10:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello CGI
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:10:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> You're here
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:10:53 PM EDT] Nick CGI425 is now known as Bee.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:11:04 PM EDT] <KK> Ah, it's Bee.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:11:12 PM EDT] <Bee> Kiwi wouldn't let me log in!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:11:17 PM EDT] <bynw> are you not able to get on Kiwi?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:11:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I've always thought that people like Ciard, while perhaps not detectably Deryni themselves, might perhaps have had at least one Deryni back in the family tree somewhere. But maybe not. Maybe there is some other explanation for things like the Second Sight.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:11:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh, hullo Bee. 🙂
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:11:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello Bee

[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:12:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Is that like Forbidden Magic?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:12:36 PM EDT] <bynw> ok
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:12:37 PM EDT] <KK> Forbidden? Wow.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:12:39 PM EDT] <bynw> i'llk check it out
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:12:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Maybe Kiwi is afraid of bee stings
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:13:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello to knw CGI
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:13:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I don't blame it: I know ␝I'm␝ afraid of bee stings. 🙂
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:13:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Me too
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:13:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> But I want hold that against Bee
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:13:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gigi, having trotted off to her food bowl, is back to sit on the arm of my chair and glare imperiously at me for not paying full attention to her.

[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:14:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> That plack box can not possibly be more interesting than me. it doesn't purr of bump you hands or demand food
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:15:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Or scratch your arm, drawing blood
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:15:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:15:13 PM EDT] <Bee> still no kiwi, "forbidden to connect"
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:15:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello all
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:15:23 PM EDT] <bynw> i'm checking it out Bee
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:15:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> hello Shiral
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:15:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> She sometimes rubs the corners of the laptop screen to claim it for herself. When she's not walking on the keyboard and sending badly spelled messages to y'all. 😄
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:15:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:15:58 PM EDT] <Bee> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:16:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> ␝sets the tea table with cream, scones and jam and tea␝
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:16:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> We have come to the conclusion that all Shiral crystals found on beaches belong to the king. Shiral were you found on a beach?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:16:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, not to my knowledge, but I do like beaches!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:16:48 PM EDT] <bynw> seems to be a problem on Kiwi's end
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:16:49 PM EDT] * Bee adds mulled cider to the table
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:16:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Maybe Morgan found me on the beach near Coroth
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:17:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> HEHE don't you wish
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:17:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I think you'd remember that
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:17:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Granted, it's unlikely that the average peasant living near a seashore is aware of that, so I imagine a fair few "pretty beads" end up not reaching the Court at Rhemuth even if that happens to be the law
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:17:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> And that's how I ended up on his study table
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:17:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Is Richenda aware of this? 😉
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:17:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> So are you saying that you are THAT Shiral Crystal
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:18:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It's on a need to know basis, Nezz. 😁
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:18:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Now if I can only figure out the law that has me ending up on Duncan's study table.... 🤔
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:18:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:18:49 PM EDT] <Bee> Thanks, bynw. At least I'm here.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:19:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> How is Duncan going to be so well dressed if you're not making all his clothes, Evie? =o)
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:19:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi everyone
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:19:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Hello DFK
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:19:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hi DFK
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:19:32 PM EDT] <Bee> HiDFK
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:19:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Official tailor to the Auxiliary Bishop of Rhemuth? I can live with that.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:19:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> are the summer concerts over?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:19:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, Laurna, I didn't invent the topic, but that would be the kind of Shiral Crystal I'd WANT to be!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:19:42 PM EDT] <KK> Does Duncan have new clothes?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:20:08 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, DFK
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:20:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Good for you Shiral
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:20:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I've always wondered, Bishops and Archbishops are so richly dressed, but who MAKES all those vestments?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:20:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> No, I'm a very negligent hostess, alas. I haven't had Duncan out of his bag since I got sick last month.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:20:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Or longer than that, since I was working on the dollhouse
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:20:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> So you punish him for not healing you
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:20:53 PM EDT] <KK> Back at work on the dollhouse?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:21:31 PM EDT] <KK> Busy little nuns, probably, Shiral.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:21:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Gosh darn, THEY don't get to wear the pretty stuff!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:22:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> RIGHT
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:22:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Not yet, though I probably will soon, if only to get it finished and out of my living room where it's been living on a TV tray for the past month or more.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:23:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> No, they don't get to wear the pretty stuff, but they get to watch a very handsome bishop strut around the place wearing it, and in a century where mirrors haven't grown more sophisticated than polished metal yet, I know which end of the viewing I'd rather be on. 😉
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:23:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Behind the bishop?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:23:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Or in front of him
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:24:20 PM EDT] <Bee> letting him see your rear
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:24:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Well, preferably in front, but if I'm behind him, at least I can admire all the embroidery on his cope. 😄
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:24:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> That's what I was thinking
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:24:45 PM EDT] <KK> Either place would be good, I'd guess.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:24:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I did a book nook called Sailing Memory and dedicated it to my dad with his photo.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:24:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> But behind him, I'd miss seeing those stunning blue eyes. 😄
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:25:12 PM EDT] <Bee> Was your dad a sailor?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:25:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It's always a trade off isn't it? 😉
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:25:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I'm sure there are other benefits to make up for the loss. 🙂
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:25:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> The book nook is gorgeous!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:25:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Lovely
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:25:57 PM EDT] <KK> My dad loved sailing. We had a small sloop that we used to tool around Biscayne Bay in.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:25:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I've priced several book nook kits online, but that's one of the prettiest ones I've seen out there.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:26:23 PM EDT] <KK> Does someone have a pic of the book nook?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:26:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Do not buy them from face book adds, those arescams. I got scamed. so then I went and got one from Amazon
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:27:14 PM EDT] <Bee> If a library had a nook dedicated to cookbooks, would it be a Cook Book Look Nook?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:27:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Laurna just posted it. Are you not able to see it, KK? We might need a link to an online album, if you aren't on Discord.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:27:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I keep expecting Duncan to come sit down in that chair...
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:27:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Let me go over to IRC
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:27:37 PM EDT] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/QBQwG9Do/image.png
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:27:55 PM EDT] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/BadpckYx/image.png
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:28:16 PM EDT] <KK> That's beautiful!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:28:24 PM EDT] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/l2Co3S6a/image.png
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:28:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Summer concerts are over for this year. I was late because my DD2 called
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:28:29 PM EDT] <Bee> What's the scale?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:28:32 PM EDT] <Laurna> This was the kit
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:28:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Did it take a long time to put it together? It didn't seem like it took you all that long between the time you said you got it and when you showed the completed photos.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:28:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> It stands about 8 inches tall
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:29:00 PM EDT] <Laurna> Took me about four days.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:29:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> How tall is that chair from ground to the top of the seat? In real life, that distance would be about 18"
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:29:48 PM EDT] <KK> It's teeny! I was picturing the little libraries that people put outside their houses, with real books in them. This is charming.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:29:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> So knowing that seat height can help determine the scale.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:29:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Dad's portrait is only 1/2 inch tall. I had to print it several times to get one small enough
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:31:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> The chair seat hieght is about 3/4 inch tall
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:32:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hm. So I think it's roughly 1:24 scale, since I think if it were 1:12 scale, the seat would be about 1.5" off the ground, and 3/4 would be half that distance.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:32:37 PM EDT] <KK> So, not even in scale for Lego figures?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:32:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> A lot of the smaller doll room kits are 1:24 scale now, so that makes sense
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:32:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> The peices went together perfectly and it wall well instructed. I did add a couple of things like photos of boats in the pciture frames instead of the maps they had
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:32:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> @Evie the Verbose I love your book nook. I be Duncan would love to spend some time there. We know how he feels about books
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:33:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'm sure he'd love to, but that's Laurna's nook. 😄
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:33:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I think Barrett De Laney would, too
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:33:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Lego are roughly 1:48 scale. 1:24 is closer to Playmobil figure scale.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:34:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I'm sure she would share with Duncan. She would get to s pend time really close to him. Hmmm
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:34:47 PM EDT] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/jwH6Din9/image.png
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:34:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'm hiding the pics from Duncan, in that case. Laurna can have John Nivard. 😄
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:35:01 PM EDT] <Laurna> here was after the first day
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:35:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> That's really cool. Do the walls come pre-patterned, or did you have to glue wallpaper on before assembling them?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:35:49 PM EDT] <Laurna> It is litteraly the sizer of a hard cover book
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:36:11 PM EDT] <Laurna> these were prepatterned and even had the markings where the frames go
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:36:45 PM EDT] <Laurna> I messed up the little paper carpet but it is hiden from everything else.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:36:58 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hard to get it to climb the steps
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:37:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi Everyone
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:37:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:37:18 PM EDT] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:37:18 PM EDT] <CGI425> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:37:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:37:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Hey Jerusha
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:37:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Probably using a credit card or letter opener to press the folds into the stair angles would help.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:37:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:37:58 PM EDT] <bynw> hi Jerusha
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:37:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sorry to be late; I had to make sure Green Bay won
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:38:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Did they?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:38:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> YES
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:38:13 PM EDT] <Laurna> Did they?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:38:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Yay!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:38:17 PM EDT] <Laurna> Nice
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:38:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> By working magical workings over the team?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:38:21 PM EDT] <Bee> Who was their oonent?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:38:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Against Tom Brady
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:38:27 PM EDT] <Bee> opponent
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:38:54 PM EDT] <Laurna> I hear the team is not the heavey wieghts this year like they usually are.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:38:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I was trying to boil knats in oil...
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:39:12 PM EDT] <Bee> I don't mind if TB loses, now that he's left New england.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:39:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I'm confused. Tow Brady keeps retiring and unretiring. Who is he with now?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:39:19 PM EDT] Quit CGI425 (4c138f12@owirc-fh8.evo.99.167.IP) has left this server (Quit: CGI:IRC).
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:39:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Boil knats??
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:39:31 PM EDT] <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:39:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Maybe that should be nats
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:39:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Wait, what? (Misread that and had mental image of Jerusha boiling gnats in oil. 😂 )
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:39:39 PM EDT] <Bee> gnats? knots?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:39:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Me too, Evie!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:39:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Whatever works
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:40:04 PM EDT] <Laurna> I think she was. that was the spell she was working
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:40:08 PM EDT] <Bee> Tampa BAy, I think
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:40:10 PM EDT] <KK> What's a gnat, or nat?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:40:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Gnats are super tiny. Let's hope that's not dinner!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:40:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, that would be a very little cauldron....
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:40:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We have been invaded by them. Very annoying
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:40:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Thet're tint but they have a big bite
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:40:45 PM EDT] <Bee> gnat= tine bug
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:40:50 PM EDT] <Bee> tiny
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:41:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Until they fly underneath your glasses, and then they look HUGE
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:41:26 PM EDT] <Laurna> OH!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:41:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:41:30 PM EDT] <KK> True.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:41:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Rude little bugs!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:41:53 PM EDT] <Laurna> Here I am! Look at me up close!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:42:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Have you seen the Far Side cartoon with the car side mirror that has the typical warning "Objects in this mirror may be closer than they appear," and reflected in it is a gigantic fly? 😄
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:42:32 PM EDT] <Bee> Didn't Poe write a story about a bug like that?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:42:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I remember that one
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:42:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nope, but I probably would have swerved off of the road
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:43:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I think that was Kafka
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:43:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> The Metamorphasis
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:43:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I don't remember that one. And I'm the one whose Dad warped me for life by giving me "The Collected Works of Edgar Allen Poe" when I was a sweet young thing of only 8 or 9. 😅
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:43:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Had to read it in seventh grade. Freaked me out
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:44:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> His stories were really scary
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:44:24 PM EDT] <Bee> no, Poe's story was about a man who look out his window and saw a monster. it turned out to be an insect an inch or 2 from his eyes.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:44:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Kafka was the Cockroach. He was one disturbed guy
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:44:27 PM EDT] <KK> He sure could write!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:44:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> My aunt gave me Grimm's fairy tales. I think they were worse
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:44:35 PM EDT] <KK> Poe, that is.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:44:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Was that The Gold Bug?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:44:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I couldn't wear red shoes for YEARS!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:45:12 PM EDT] <Bee> I don't think so.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:45:31 PM EDT] <Bee> about gold bug
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:45:44 PM EDT] <Bee> maybe
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:45:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I think the Brother's Grimm lived up to their name far too well
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:46:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> If you wanted to scare children into obedience, they would work
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:46:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> True. Still wonder how many children were left emotionally scarred
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:47:13 PM EDT] <Bee> Was it Grimm or anderson who wrote "The Girl Who Trod on a Loaf"?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:47:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> The name Grimm was certainly appropriate
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:47:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hated that story, no matter who wrote it
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:47:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Given all there was in the real world to leave people emotionally scarred, I doubt that scary stories would have scarred little minds back in those days as much as they might today, with our current very sheltered generations.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:47:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Loaf was Anderson
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:47:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Andersen
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:48:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> One night camping my brother told a tale of the Great purple people eater and if we moved or made a sound he would find us and eat us. and then he left us so he did not have to baby sit us while mom and dad were with other campers. we did not move fore hours.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:48:19 PM EDT] <Bee> Into the Woods included some of the Grimms' grim stuff.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:48:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I trust you were not eaten, Laurna!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:48:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Love Into the Woods
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:49:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Did you tell your parents?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:49:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> No we were not eaten at least on that trip. we were too good
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:49:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Oh yes. some time years latter.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:49:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Wow, The Red Shoes was by Andersen. I thought it was the Brothers Grimm
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:49:34 PM EDT] <Bee> I remember the song about the One-eyed, one-horned Flying Purple People-eater.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:49:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Kate Bush did ann album about the red shoes
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:49:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> That is where my brother got the idea
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:49:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Loved that crazy song
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:50:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I loved that song when I was a kid
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:50:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Me too
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:50:14 PM EDT] <Bee> IIRC, it was parable about the sin of wasting food.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:50:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I didn't know it was a song until later. then I laughed
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:50:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I thought he only ate purple people so we were safe
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:51:06 PM EDT] <Bee> "I want to get a job in a rock-and-roll band!"
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:51:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> The One-Eyed, One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater was a parable about wasting food?! What?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:51:49 PM EDT] <Bee> No The Girl who trod on a loaf was.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:52:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Ah, OK. I haven't read that one. For a moment there, I wondered how in the world you'd gotten that meaning from the Purple People Eater song! 🤣
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:52:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I think it was after that story I stopped reading Grimm's fairy tales
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:52:49 PM EDT] <Bee> Bread is a symbol for food. "Give us this da our daily bread."
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:53:21 PM EDT] <KK> I don't remember reading that story.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:53:22 PM EDT] <Bee> day
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:54:15 PM EDT] <KK> Why did she tread on a loaf?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:54:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I used to have a digital copy of a Victorian book for children that was full of stories of children dying in horrible ways from getting into trouble doing things they were told not to do and ending up in horrifying accidents as a result. I can't imagine giving any of those stories to a child, but as an adult reading it, it was hilarious if you've got a dark sense of humor.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:54:44 PM EDT] <Bee> She wanted to cross a puddle without getting her feet wet, IIRC.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:55:05 PM EDT] <KK> Ah. That makes sense, sort of.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:55:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> It did not go well....
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:55:25 PM EDT] <KK> I should think not!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:55:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Did the loaf sink?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:55:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Yes, and her with it
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:55:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I never heard that story
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:55:47 PM EDT] <KK> Did the flying purple people eater come to get her?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:55:50 PM EDT] <Bee> Did she get out of hell? I forget
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:56:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I think it flicked a wing and carried on
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:57:29 PM EDT] <KK> On another topic entirely, did you guys watch much of the Queen's funeral? Magnificent!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:57:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Jerusha you will like this. Revanne was saying that England was thinking of adding the Welsh red dragon to a quarter of the king's flag.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:57:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I had the day off and watched it
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:57:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I did not see the funeral, but I watched the committment
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:57:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Watched all of it. Even got up at 5AM
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:58:04 PM EDT] <KK> Me too, DK.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:58:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I watched the committment too
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:58:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> II
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:58:16 PM EDT] <Bee> I just watched the highlights on the news.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:58:28 PM EDT] <KK> Welsh dragon to the flag. Replacing one of the lions, I'd guess?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:58:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> That'd be cool. 🙂
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:58:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> 'I'm not sure, Laurna. Since Wales was conquered, it might not qualify as a separate part of the UK
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:58:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Me too. Well, 4:30 am, since I needed to find a channel with as few talking heads as possible before it got well underway.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:58:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> It wsa all very impressive but I liked the service at St geaoge's Chapel best
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:59:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> She said they might not do it because it would cost too much money to change all those flags. but I think it is a great idea.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:59:19 PM EDT] <Bee> What does the king'sflag look like now? Lion and Unicorn?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [7:59:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I did see something that it might be considered
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:00:04 PM EDT] <KK> I was fascinated when they took the orb and sceptre off the coffin, looking at the fittings.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:00:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> English lions, Scots Lion, Ireland's harp
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:00:14 PM EDT] <Laurna> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/wumdkuUC/image.png
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:00:45 PM EDT] <KK> The colors wouldn't work, though.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:00:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Does seem like Wales should have auarter.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:00:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Some say they might add the Welsh leek, but I would rather see the dragon
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:01:09 PM EDT] <Laurna> I was teasing that the Scots lion needed to turn is head. and that Morgan would be very happy about the fluer counter fluer with double treresure.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:01:19 PM EDT] <Bee> What would be theWelsh symbol? a dragon? not a leek, I hope
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:01:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Leeks are an important symbol of Wales, but I would prefer the dragon.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:02:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Definitely a dragon
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:02:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> The Scots and the English have lions, the Irish have a a harp and the Welsh get a .....leek. Doesn't sound like a great exchange
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:02:11 PM EDT] <Bee> me too
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:02:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> They wore leeks to identify themselves in battle
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:02:42 PM EDT] <Bee> The unicorn is Scottish, isn't it?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:02:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "the guy with the veggie is one of ours"
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:02:53 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I always wondered what the significance of the leeks was
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:03:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL Jerusha
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:03:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> "Do you have your standard issue battle leek? All right then, to arms!"
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:03:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> LOL
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:04:09 PM EDT] <KK> No, I don't think a vegetable would work.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:04:10 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> It sounds like a scene from Veggie Tales. 😄
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:04:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Thistle vs the leed
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:04:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> leek
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:04:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> A Leek duel might be interesting. Non-lethal, anyway
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:04:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Don't mock the leek in Wales, though
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:04:56 PM EDT] <KK> It would need to be another noble animal. And I don't think unicorns have any particular connection with Wales.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:04:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Except since all the Veggie Tales characters were veggies, I can't quite imagine an army of leeks going off to war wearing Welshmen!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:05:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> thought the thistle was Scottish
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:05:05 PM EDT] <Bee> It sort of makes sense to have somethingthat your guys wold recognize the significance, but the enemy wouldn't
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:05:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> If there was a Welsh scandal involving leeks, would that be a Leek Leak?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:05:34 PM EDT] <KK> Thistle is Scottish, but not really suitable for a national emblem.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:05:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> ouch
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:05:38 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> the unicorns are scottish
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:05:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Leekgate
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:05:46 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> yes scottish thistle is not on th flag so i can not imagine the leek on the flag
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:05:59 PM EDT] <Bee> I thought he unicorn representd Scotland. not sure why.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:06:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> If you crossed the sea with a boat full of Leeks, would it be a leeky crossing?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:06:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> ROFL
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:06:33 PM EDT] <KK> There are unicorns as supporters to the arms, but they don't appear on the banners.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:06:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes. Since the Queen died at Balmoral, the Scottish part of her funerary arrangements and procession back to England was Operation Unicorn, IIRC.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:06:45 PM EDT] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:06:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> The puns are running wild tonight
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:06:52 PM EDT] <Bee> "The lion and the unicorn were fighting for the Crown./ The lione chased the unicorn all around thetown."
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:06:57 PM EDT] <KK> And the overall plan was London Bridge.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:06:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or you could be studying fossils in the desert
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:06:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Sometimes they get the best of me
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:07:45 PM EDT] <KK> I thought it was so fitting that she died at Balmoral, which she loved. Now I want to see William in a kilt. Don't thin I've ever seen him in ne.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:07:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I'm very glad she was at Balmoral, as complicated as that made things for everyone else, since she was happiest there
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:07:49 PM EDT] <KK> one
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:08:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Agreed
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:08:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I think I"ve seen William in a kilt, though not as often as Charles
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:08:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> To both Balmoral and a kilt for william
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:08:24 PM EDT] <KK> I wish they would've brought her back to London on a train, though.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:08:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I think there were security concerns
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:09:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> But then the crowds of people along the road couldn't have seen her to pay their respects, and that was one reason for them using the specially designed car.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:09:07 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, I suppose it would've been a target for terrorists.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:09:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I liked the message that a regular army plane that was good enough to bring back soldiers was good enough for the queen. that had a wonderful sentiment for me
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:09:49 PM EDT] <KK> I was holding my breath, as it was, that there wouldn't be an incident. And Westminster Hall--what a target, with so many important people all under one roof.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:10:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I saw that too. "If it was good enough for my boys, it
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:10:15 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> s good enough for me." Bless her
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:10:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Bless her indeed
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:10:25 PM EDT] <Bee> I heard the Elizabeth's mother's ancestral home was Glamz Castle. Wasn't that also MacBeth'sseat?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:10:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Thank goodness nothing bad happened at Westminster Hall of a terrorist nature
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:10:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, I was worried about an attack on Westminster. Especially since I wrote about a Deryni attack on a royal funeral in a similar setting. 😄
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:10:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Yes, I think so
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:10:59 PM EDT] <KK> Good point. But a train would have enabled the people to watch it go by, with the Queen's coffin viewable.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:11:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Evie you would blow up the Cathedral too. Oh dear. where does the next story lead too,.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:11:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> HM got a good, dignified send off as she deserved, and I'm glad there were no tragedies while that large crowd was gathered
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:11:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I didn't blow up the Cathedral of Saint George! I just had a megalomaniac emerge from the crypt to challenge the rightful heir to a duel arcane! 😄
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:12:19 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh is THAT all!? 😉
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:12:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I did love her Fell pony pawing the ground as the hearse passed
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:12:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Glad the king has not had to deal with Duel arcanes at least not yet
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:13:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I think he would be VERY surprised if he were challenged
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:13:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I loved they way the placed all the flowers on the lawn at the side of the road
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:13:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> KK, if I haven't sent you my modern world Deryni story, I'd be glad to rectify that, though it's way too long for the anthology.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:13:43 PM EDT] <KK> The saddle on the pony was sheepskin, which HM apparently liked, and the groom had put one of her headscarves across the seat.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:14:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> She combined the best of both families and had a hero named Morgan Haldane
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:14:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Loved the pony
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:14:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Oh, I had another question for you, KK, if that's ok...
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:14:29 PM EDT] <KK> Would lover to read it, Evie. Do send it.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:14:42 PM EDT] <KK> Go, Nezz.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:14:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL! I was still thinking about the Queen when I read Laurna's statement, and I thought "Wait, the Queen had a hero named Morgan Haldane too?!" 😄
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:14:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> "Dual arcane? Hmmm, speak to the Lore Chamberlain and maybe we can work you in next week..."
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:15:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I was reading an old IRC chat from y'all, and you'd said that Donal was going to be Alaric's dad. Why did you change your mind about that?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:15:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Lord
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:15:24 PM EDT] <Bee> KK, I'm thinking of send you a revsed version of the short poem I sent you.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:15:31 PM EDT] <KK> It was better, when I was writing it, for Donal not to succeed in his plan.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:15:32 PM EDT] <Bee> revised
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:15:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, there WERE a lot of mourners at the funeral. Can we be sure there was no one named Morgan Haldane there?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:15:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Aside from the squick factor, I would think Kenneth would find it very hard to remain loyal to a King who had raped his wife.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:16:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> Yes, I think that was wise. Ditto to what Evie said.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:16:06 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, that would havae been a problem.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:16:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I am so glad that Donal did fail in his attempt
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:16:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I think Alyce would have had an issue with it, too.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:16:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I love Kenneth Morgan
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:16:25 PM EDT] <KK> I think so.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:16:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Donal deserved the embarrassment!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:16:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> She had issue, regardless... 😉
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:16:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> But only if Kenneth knew: Donal would hardly have announced it
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:16:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But HER issue was very benevolent. 🙂
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:16:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> "See, Alaric, you're actually the King's son because he raped your Mummy in her sleep. That's why you must be loyal to him and your brother Brion." I don't think that would have gone over well at all.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:17:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> I like how Donal, in those books, ended up being both ruthless and sympathetic at the same time.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:17:11 PM EDT] <Bee> It the baby had looked like Donal....
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:17:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> You can't be a pushover, as a King
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:17:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Or if Alyce could detect that his psychic signature felt suspiciously like Donal's....
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:17:45 PM EDT] <KK> Definitely true.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:17:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Neither Alyce or Kenneth had grey eyes, IIRC
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:18:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But it was an elegant save, and everyone's reputations stayed intact
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:18:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Alaric would not have been Alaric that we love if that had been the case
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:18:51 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Krispin would have been an interesting character if he had lived to adulthood
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:19:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Since gray eyes are a variant of blue, I think it's still possible for Alaric to have them even if his parents didn't.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:19:21 PM EDT] <KK> Agree.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:19:36 PM EDT] <KK> brb
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:19:37 PM EDT] <Bee> eye color is more complicated than people used to believe.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:20:51 PM EDT] <Bee> I wonder if Kelson and Araxie will have sable-haired children or strawberry blonds.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:21:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Kelson carries red from his mom and Araxie carries black hair from her dad. so hard to say
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:22:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Or a little red head with green eyes like Grandmaman!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:22:20 PM EDT] <KK> I'm back.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:22:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I forgot that "Balance of Power" fills 3 Google Docs (since I broke it down into 10 chapter per document). It might be easiest just to share the link to the Fanfiction.net version. That might be best anyway, as it has a chapter menu that makes it easier to find where you last left off reading it.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:22:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Although hopefully one with a more stable temperament
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:22:42 PM EDT] <Bee> But black is dominant, not recessive. so Araxie couldn't fave inherited a dark-hair gene.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:22:50 PM EDT] <Bee> have
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:23:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Or a black haired child with green eyes would be interesting
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:23:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Kelson and Araxie could also end up with at least one child with dark auburn or chestnut hair
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:23:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> I wanted to ask. Does the Ghost of the Past team Want our story on Fanfiction .net or are we good leaving it only on the forum?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:23:36 PM EDT] <Bee> Blond and red tend to mix.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:23:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> My mom has black hair and my dad has brown hair. I had dark auburn hair as a toddler, which darkened to dark brown with auburn highlights.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:05 PM EDT] <KK> Guys, this has been fun, but I'm suddenly very hungry. Need to start eating before chat, in the future.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:20 PM EDT] <KK> But next week will be Zoom, yes?
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Thanks for stopping in, KK!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I'm OK either way
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:28 PM EDT] <bynw> Yes next sunday is ZOOM
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Nezz> cya
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:29 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> For I second I read you needed to start eating the furnature.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:35 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Don't tdo that
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:36 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> I would think it makes most sense on the forum, since we know its history as a roleplaying game. It might not make as much sense on FFN
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Have a good week, KK
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Bye, KK!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Have a good Night KK
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hmmm, a bit crunchy!
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:47 PM EDT] <Bee> I read that there's one gene for dark or fair, and another for reddish or not reddish.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:52 PM EDT] <Bee> nighters, KK
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:24:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Good point, Evie
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:25:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> Nites KK
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:25:17 PM EDT] <KK> Just send me the pieces, Evie. I can figure it out.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:25:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Have a good week
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:25:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Laurna> Thanks Evie. I will leave it there
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:25:35 PM EDT] <Bee> Good night and good week, KK
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:25:49 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> LOL, OK. In that case, I'll share the Google Doc links and can set up each section so you can leave comments if you would like to.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:25:51 PM EDT] <KK> Thanks. See you all next week, and SEE you! Take are and have a good week, all.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:25:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <DFK> I am fine with it on the forum
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:25:56 PM EDT] <bynw> if it is ever put anywhere else, any gaming reference should be removed. espeically dice rolls, and character information that are game specific. it can just be footnoted that it was a gamed story
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:26:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Evie the Verbose> Since I wrote it in Google Docs, that would be easiest.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:26:26 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:26:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yep, let's keep it on the forum
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:26:31 PM EDT] <bynw> in fact i would love to have it without any gaming notes
[Sunday, September 25, 2022] [8:26:42 PM EDT] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: https://mibbit.com Online IRC Client).
