[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:04:02 PM] <Evie> Hi, KK
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:04:06 PM] <Shiral> Hello KK
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:04:11 PM] <KK> Hi, guys.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:04:16 PM] <Evie> New for me or for the littles, Shiral?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:04:22 PM] <Shiral> Either one
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:04:35 PM] <Evie> I've been trying to finish a commission, but once that is done I'll make more 1:6 scale medieval costumes

[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:04:55 PM] <Shiral> How has your week been KK?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:04:58 PM] <Shiral> Hi Bee
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:05:09 PM] <Evie> I made some burned scrolls and manuscript pages yesterday. Deryni texts rescued from the ruins of an ancient library, I think.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:05:13 PM] <the_Bee> Hi Shiral!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:05:28 PM] <Evie> or possibly rescued from a book burning
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:05:42 PM] <Shiral> By "burned" I assume you only burned them a little? =o)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:05:51 PM] <KK> Week has been hectic. I've had to take time out from writing to do my taxes--and still have to file for an extension.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:05:57 PM] <Evie> I haven't taken photos of them yet, but they'll go up when I get a chance to take some
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:06:04 PM] <Shiral> Taxes bit me good, this year

[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:06:38 PM] <Evie> I know that feeling, KK. We usually have to file an extension too, but we had to go ahead and figure ours out early this year due to DS's financial aid application
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:06:53 PM] <Shiral> I was able to get it over with, for which I'm very grateful
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:06:53 PM] <the_Bee> I've just finished my federal tax. I think I'm below the income threshold for state.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:06:54 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12yea, tax time
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:07:11 PM] <Jerusha> boo, tax time
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:07:13 PM] <the_Bee> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:07:21 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Everyone!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:07:30 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12I got a refund
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:07:32 PM] <Shiral> "Alaric how are the Assizes coming for Corwyn? We'll need them by the Ides of April!"
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:07:39 PM] <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:07:41 PM] <Evie> I have two new action figure bodies arriving in the mail this week that I hope will give Duncan and Alaric some better mobility so they can actually ride the two new horses that arived last week. :-)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:07:59 PM] <Shiral> Oh good, more headless bodies, and body-less heads
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:08:12 PM] <KK> I saw what you posted. They look like useful bodies.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:08:26 PM] <KK> What color are the horses?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:08:42 PM] <Elim> I glance in and see "bodies arriving in the mail" and I go "Wait, what the hell?!?!"
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:09:03 PM] <the_Bee> LOL!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:09:07 PM] <Shiral> Evie's just a tiny bit ghoulish with her toys. No prob.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:09:09 PM] <KK> I hope that doesn't trigger something in Homeland Security--LOL.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:09:30 PM] <Evie> One is sort of chestnut with bits of white, and the other one is buckskin with white markings
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:09:40 PM] <Elim> Or worse, Gnomeland Security.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:09:46 PM] <Evie> LOL, Elim! 1:6 scale bodies
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:09:49 PM] * Shiral contributes some leftover chocolate Easter Eggs--inspects them to make sure they're dark chocolate for KK
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:10:00 PM] <Evie> http://www.thedollpage2.com/photopost/data/1938/IMG_2642w.jpg These bodies, specifically
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:10:01 PM] <KK> THey sound nice. Though one never hears of buckskin-colored horses in medieval writing.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:10:05 PM] <Jerusha> I'll take the milk chocolate ones!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:10:17 PM] <Shiral> There's plenty for everyone!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:10:22 PM] <Evie> I will probably end up repainting them, KK
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:10:51 PM] <Evie> They need some minor work even if I don't. They are vintage Marx horses, and the glue at the seam line is beginning to yellow
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:11:08 PM] <KK> Woo-hoo, these are even more anatomically correct than the one you posted. Nice bods.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:11:20 PM] <the_Bee> Karl Marx or Groucho Maarx?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:11:29 PM] <Evie> I've seen one of these bodies with a Ken head on it, and the color was a better match
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:11:32 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12harpo marx
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:11:45 PM] <KK> Jerusha, you can have all the milk chocolate. I like dark.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:11:56 PM] <the_Bee> me too
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:11:58 PM] <Evie> It might not be identical, but at least closer to this body than to the last one I posted photos of
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:12:02 PM] <Jerusha> I thought that picture was going to be of the horses. What a surprise!:D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:12:12 PM] <KK> LOL, me too.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:12:18 PM] <Shiral> :)I know KK is ONLY interested in dark Chocolate
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:12:25 PM] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:12:28 PM] <Shiral> This is "Gwynedd after dark" clearly
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:12:44 PM] <KK> Preferably filled with mint.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:12:55 PM] <Evie> There are interchangeable chest pieces for these figures, so Alaric can have a more "buff" torso than Duncan, who isn't the career warrior of the two.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:13:08 PM] * Shiral paws through the easter eggs muttering the Mint Incantation
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:13:12 PM] <Shiral> Try them now!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:13:20 PM] <Jerusha> If I remember, Duncan is still pretty fit
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:13:25 PM] <Evie> and there are different sets of hands--relaxed, "trigger" (also useful for pointing), and "sword grip" hands
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:13:35 PM] <KK> Interchangeable chest pieces? You've got to be kidding. I knew doll folk were fanatics.... (But then, my mother is a doll freak....)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:13:37 PM] <Evie> Yes, Duncan definitely holds his own in a fight
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:13:37 PM] <Shiral> No sedentary priest our Duncan, nope!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:14:01 PM] <Elim> My brother bought some 96% dark chocolate.. I like dark chocolate, but I draw the line at eating straight cocoa powder.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:14:06 PM] <Shiral> Wonder when he gets time to practice amid all the confessions and Masses
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:14:10 PM] <Evie> The chests are magnetic, and apparently don't add extra bulk under a costume, they just have either less or more definition to the sculpting
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:14:23 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12if Duncan can survive Edmund Loris, he can do anything
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:14:28 PM] <Jerusha> Magnetic? So the mail sticks on?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:14:40 PM] <Shiral> Doll Prostheses... now I've heard everything
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:14:51 PM] <DesertRose> Hi KK and everybody who came in while I was afk.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:14:56 PM] <Shiral> Hi DR
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:14:58 PM] <Evie> That's what I mean, Shiral. Duncan is primarily a bishop who also happens to fight well. Alaric, though, is King's Champion and a general, so I would imagine he gets a lot more practice even in peace time.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:15:03 PM] <Jerusha> Hi D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:15:03 PM] <the_Bee> Hi DR
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:15:07 PM] <Jerusha> rDR
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:15:12 PM] <Evie> hi DR
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:15:35 PM] <Shiral> Now Alaric and Kelson.. And Nigel... I'll bet those boys are buff. =o)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:15:42 PM] <Shiral> And of course, Dhugal
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:16:01 PM] <Evie> Jerusha, I don't know if mail would stick or not. The magnets are presumably under the chest plate, and I don't know how strong they are. I'm still working on how to make mail without having to link it together from scratch
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:16:25 PM] <KK> Alaric is in the process of getting buff. He's grown several inches in the summer he visits Bremagne with the king.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:16:31 PM] <Shiral> But we know Alari has some personal magnetism
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:16:36 PM] <Evie> I don't know if I'd ever be able to rebody Dhugal. He has a different style head that wouldn't work with this sort of body.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:16:39 PM] <KK> Yes, indeed.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:16:44 PM] <jemler> hi everyone. sorry i was lurking.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:16:54 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12you're forgiven
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:16:59 PM] <DesertRose> Alaric is probably at that stage of all arms and legs. :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:17:05 PM] <Jerusha> Growth spurts sometimes result in some awkwardness
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:17:06 PM] <Shiral> Being handy with a sword is necessary for young Deryni at Court
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:17:38 PM] <KK> Well, he gets taken for older than 12 while at the Bremagne court.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:17:38 PM] <Evie> And these bodies are no longer available for sale. I bought them from a friend who was willing to sell them since he has replaced them with something else he likes better. So if they will work for Alaric and Duncan, those guys get first shot at them.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:18:12 PM] <Jerusha> By that lady who tempts, him, KK?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:18:14 PM] <Shiral> Just a bit! Bremagne after dark.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:18:27 PM] <Evie> If I can get my hands on other bodies like this that don't cost a small mint, then Kelson might get one as well. But I think Dhugal is stuck with his unless I can figure out how to adapt his head for an action figure body.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:18:35 PM] <KK> Indeed. The one who has his virtue.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:19:01 PM] <Jerusha> Should one assume it was not her first time?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:19:13 PM] <Evie> That sounds like she's stashed his virtue away in a box on her dresser or something. :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:19:13 PM] <KK> So one would assume.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:19:53 PM] <Evie> Sounds like Alaric is learning how to be handy with a sword in more ways than one.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:19:53 PM] <Shiral> We can't blame her for her taste though. Perhaps a bit for cradle snatching, though. =o)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:20:19 PM] <KK> The Bremagni court is--different from Rhemuth.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:20:27 PM] <jemler> why would she keep it? i'm sure he doesn't want it back! :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:20:40 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:20:43 PM] <Jerusha> And one assumes Alaric survived it well enough
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:20:53 PM] <Shiral> Hot Southern climates breed passion.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:21:53 PM] <Shiral> Now this woman is just a smile on Alaric's face that Richenda is not sure she can interpret....=o)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:21:56 PM] <Evie> They also breed mosquitos, but I'm sure Alaric prefers the first option
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:22:05 PM] <KK> Oh, yes. But he does have a Serious Talk with Llion the next morning, who reminds him he is a ducal prize, and should not let himself get trapped into marrying some young lady whose father targets him for a ducal son-in-law.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:22:43 PM] <jemler> you get hit by too many mosquitos, option 2 is not possible. :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:22:58 PM] <Shiral> The first option definitely sounds like more fun
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:23:00 PM] <Jerusha> Is Alaric suitably chastised?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:23:04 PM] <KK> By the time he marries RIchends, I doubt he remembers much in specific about his Bremagni initiatrix.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:23:20 PM] <Shiral> One would hope not. =o)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:24:01 PM] <Jerusha> He does tell Kelson he has been in love several times
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:24:21 PM] <Shiral> "only once that mattered" as Kelson points out
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:24:35 PM] <jemler> as long as he doesn't tell Richenda that!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:24:46 PM] <Jerusha> Ah, but enjoy the journey along the way :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:24:50 PM] <Shiral> Since she's the one who "mattered
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:25:04 PM] <KK> I doubt Richenda would expect him to be a virgin.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:25:16 PM] <Shiral> I have a feeling Richnda realizes that Alaric didn't take any vows of chastity before they met
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:25:17 PM] <the_Bee> I doubt if Richenda really expected Alaric to be a virgin when they met.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:25:28 PM] <Jerusha> Not in that day and age
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:25:36 PM] <the_Bee> GMTA!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:25:38 PM] <jemler> or in this one.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:26:29 PM] <Shiral> But clearly, there haven't been any paternity suits against His Grace, the Duke of Corwyn
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:26:34 PM] <KK> I think the Rhemuth court is a far more idealized than was the actual norm in real history.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:26:44 PM] <Shiral> Or none we know about
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:26:48 PM] <Evie> Well, aside from the vow of chastity associated with the knighting ceremony, but I suspect that one was often broken quite quickly afterwards, if marriage didn't precede or soon follow knighting. :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:26:57 PM] <DesertRose> That's just because you don't write the down and dirty stuff, KK. :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:27:12 PM] <Shiral> Conall certainly avails himself of his opportunities
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:27:21 PM] <jemler> how did she meet Alaric? did she just walk in the room and say "Are there any virgins in the house?'?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:27:23 PM] <KK> Remember, too, that chastity and celibacy are two different critters.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:27:24 PM] <Jerusha> Whenever possible
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:27:27 PM] <DesertRose> Conall is not the shining example of a knight, though.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:27:34 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12he had his charms--magical that is
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:27:43 PM] <Evie> Yeah, they should have just handed Conall a gray belt for his knighting from the outset. ;-)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:27:47 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:28:03 PM] <Shiral> Kelson may have just had too much on his mind. Along with being very conscious of the dynastic issues
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:28:08 PM] <Jerusha> Richenda met Alaric when he pushed her carriage out of the mud in DC
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:28:35 PM] <Shiral> Well, how many young knights made it all the way to 18 without a little fun?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:28:36 PM] <jemler> i'm talking about in Bremagne,
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:28:51 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, KK, I have introduced--or I should say, reintroduced--a friend of mine to your work. He's got my copy of The Bastard Prince right now, and I was telling him just about an hour ago about chat; once he has internet at home, he'll probably come join us.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:28:57 PM] <jemler> apparently 2, kelson and dhugal
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:29:18 PM] <Jerusha> Sorry, wrong reference
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:29:21 PM] <Evie> Yep, chastity just means fidelity to your marital state, whether married or single. So married Alaric can consummate his marriage just as often as he likes, and still be perfectly chaste.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:29:48 PM] <DesertRose> He read the original trilogy some years ago, and I don't think he realized you'd written more in the Deryniverse until he visited my place and saw my collection. :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:29:53 PM] <jemler> and i'm sure richenda loves being chased! :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:29:57 PM] <Shiral> Better to marry than to burn, as I'm sure Duncan would agree
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:30:05 PM] <DesertRose> jemler: don't make me beat you with a fish. :P
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:30:17 PM] * Shiral swats Jemler with an octopus
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:30:19 PM] <Evie> Yes, Shiral...not that he's in a position to get married himself, alas.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:30:37 PM] <Shiral> No, but he has all too much exposure to the second option!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:30:41 PM] <KK> I don't think that's a chase-able offense--though he does make them.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:30:42 PM] <jemler> evie sounds depressed.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:31:12 PM] <DesertRose> Well, he did that once, Evie. That bunch of bishops decided that his marriage to Maryse was legitimate (good thing for Dhugal).
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:31:20 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12use a giant squid
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:31:45 PM] <Evie> Yes, but I'm sure if he had the opportunity for a second marriage, he'd probably prefer it to last longer than the first one did!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:31:50 PM] <DesertRose> Truly.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:31:54 PM] <Shiral> It was a short marriage, but Duncan made it count
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:32:26 PM] <Evie> Yeah. Who know the auxiliary bishop of Rhemuth was formerly the sperm god of Cassan? :-D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:32:31 PM] <DesertRose> ROFL
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:32:33 PM] <KK> Then there was Kelson's first marriage, which lasted only minutes. And oe's.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:32:37 PM] <Jerusha> Evie!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:32:41 PM] <Shiral> It only takes one!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:33:03 PM] <KK> Zoe's
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:33:05 PM] * jemler swats Evie with a mackerel!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:33:10 PM] <Evie> Well, he succeeded in instant fatherhood like Luke Skywalker targeting that Death Star trench with one try, didn't he?

[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:33:20 PM] <Shiral> I'm sure Kelson is grateful that his marriage to Araxie has lasted rather longer.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:33:22 PM] <DesertRose> Bad bad Evie. :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:33:44 PM] * Evie whistles innocently
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:33:52 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, right, Evie. :P
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:33:54 PM] <Shiral> Poor Zoe didn't get much benefit from her marriage
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:34:02 PM] <DesertRose> No, that was sad.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:34:12 PM] <Evie> Neither did Sidana

[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:34:17 PM] <Jerusha> I must sign off - I have to pack for a trip. Have a great week, everyone!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:34:26 PM] <Evie> Unless exsanguination is a benefit somehow
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:34:28 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12have a good trip
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:34:29 PM] <jemler> nite jerusha
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:34:29 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, see you later, Jerusha.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:34:32 PM] <the_Bee> Was Zoe's marriage even consummated?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:34:33 PM] <Evie> happy travels
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:34:38 PM] <DesertRose> Nope, Bee.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:34:42 PM] <Shiral> Bye, Jerusha, bon voyage

[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:39:10 PM] <Evie> I didn't know until I tried to say something
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:39:21 PM] <Shiral> Playing with the boys, Evie? (She asks innocently)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:39:34 PM] <Evie> LOL! They won't be mailed out until Monday.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:39:51 PM] <jemler> i had a very naughty thuoght that i won't type, just too see how many people throw things. hint: evies horses.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:39:53 PM] <Shiral> Well, that makes things more difficult

[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:40:20 PM] <jemler> that's 1.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:40:35 PM] <the_Bee> They're probably geldings.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:40:42 PM] <Evie> I don't have photos of the new horses yet, but they're the sort that have been repainted in the pictures on this webpage: http://www.onesixthwarriors.com/forum/sixth-scale-action-figure-news-reviews-discussion/66346-horse-painting-tutorials.html
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:40:47 PM] <Shiral> So is Brion anticipating his proper wedding night, KK?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:40:51 PM] <jemler> that might explain it.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:40:55 PM] * DesertRose swats jemler with a flounder.

[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:41:22 PM] <Evie> I'm sure it will be better than his wedding-by-proxy night
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:41:40 PM] <jemler> who got her proxy?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:41:42 PM] <Evie> Bedding down with Duke Ewan just isn't the same.... (J/K!)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:41:58 PM] <Shiral> EVIE! you bad girl! =o)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:42:25 PM] <Evie> *kitten eyes*
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:42:32 PM] <Shiral> Shall we have Duncan call for an exorcist? =o)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:42:45 PM] <Evie> He's used to me.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:42:54 PM] <jemler> or call Luke? for the kitten eyes?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:43:02 PM] <DesertRose> EVIE!! You're in a mood today. :P
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:43:12 PM] <Shiral> All my instincts tell me not to interpret that remark...
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:43:31 PM] <Evie> My warped humor, that is.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:43:50 PM] <KK> I've figured a way around the proxy bit. The wedding is postponed until May 1, so that Brion can come to Bremagne, marry his new queen, then bring her home to a welcome procession through the streets of Rhemuth..
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:44:02 PM] <Evie> Yay!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:44:04 PM] <DesertRose> Sounds good. :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:44:15 PM] <Shiral> Yes, although poor guy, he still has quite a wait on his hands...
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:44:16 PM] <jemler> Evie, get in line with warped humor.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:44:18 PM] <Evie> I'm sure Brion thinks so
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:44:34 PM] <jemler> he'll be able to handle it! :P

[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:45:29 PM] <Evie> the wait will allow her time for the necessary "fripperies." ;-)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:45:51 PM] <Shiral> And I'm sure a Bremagni Princess has some pretty impressive "Frippery" power
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:45:52 PM] <jemler> stress on the ripper=ease part.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:46:17 PM] <Evie> And in later years, when they are arguing about Alaric, Brion can think back on his wedding day and think "Mayday! Mayday!"
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:46:21 PM] <Evie> OK, or not. :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:46:37 PM] <KK> Keep in mind that Brion is not apt to discuss many details of his wedding night with his youg squire.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:46:55 PM] <KK> young
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:47:07 PM] <Shiral> Not even if Alaric turns puppy eyes on him? =o)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:47:15 PM] <Evie> Yeah, that might be just a bit odd. :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:47:27 PM] <DesertRose> Thanks to the Bremagni lady, Alaric's busy enough. :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:47:52 PM] <Shiral> Well, if Alaric is bedding down for the night in Brion's ante chamber, he might "Hear things"
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:48:10 PM] <Evie> Nor can I imagine Alaric asking for details. That would be awkward.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:48:16 PM] <jemler> why, is Brion a screamer?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:48:35 PM] <DesertRose> jemler!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:48:39 PM] <Shiral> EVERYbody is in a "mood" today, it seems
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:48:45 PM] <DesertRose> Evidently. :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:48:55 PM] <Shiral> We're all grownups, right?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:48:58 PM] <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:49:06 PM] <jemler> more or less.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:49:07 PM] <Evie> "Sire, was a cat in heat trapped in your chamber last night, or was that just very loud Bremagni?"
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:49:11 PM] <DesertRose> Theoretically.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:49:15 PM] <DesertRose> EVIE!!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:49:52 PM] <KK> It <is> spring, after all, when a young man's thoughts turn to....
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:49:54 PM] <Evie> OK, OK, I'll just go back to playing with action figures. Don't mind me. *innocent eyes*
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:50:02 PM] <DesertRose> Evidently. :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:50:16 PM] <Shiral> Anatomical correctness has had an interesting effect on Evie...
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:50:24 PM] <KK> LOL
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:50:28 PM] <jemler> what kind of actiopn do you get from those figures? :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:50:41 PM] <Evie> LOL! Yeah, that...um...feature was a bit of a surprise. They're usually not quite that well sculpted.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:50:48 PM] <Evie> Male figures aren't, anyway.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:51:13 PM] <jemler> comparison shopping?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:51:54 PM] <Evie> given that the usual market is men who are just going to dress them in military uniforms or superhero outfits. Though come to think, the added definition in that area would probably be noticeable in a spandex superhero outfit.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:51:59 PM] <jemler> kk, Once Upon a Time is a rerun tonight.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:52:03 PM] <Shiral> I hope Brion is in that much of a good mood on HIS wedding night
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:52:34 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12 2 weeks to a new episode
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:52:40 PM] <KK> Yeah, I know, so I'll stick around later tonight--until Game of thrones.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:52:48 PM] <Evie> I'm in a good mood because this is the first sunny weekend we've had in a month
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:52:50 PM] <KK> BRB
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:53:14 PM] <jemler> it's 72F here tonight.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:53:32 PM] <Shiral> Yeah, seeing the sun after a lot of rain is cheering
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:53:42 PM] <Evie> I meant to get some spray painting done, but I had a Celebration of Life to attend yesterday for a friend who died earlier this week, and then we had early dinner plans tonight that I just got back from right before chat
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:54:09 PM] <DesertRose> Aw, Evie, I'm sorry about your friend.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:54:12 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12sorry about your friend
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:54:32 PM] <Evie> She had a lot of health problems, so it's just the timing that's a surprise.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:54:43 PM] <DesertRose> Still, :(
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:54:49 PM] <Shiral> Sorry to hear that though. =o(
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:54:58 PM] <KK> I'm back.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:55:03 PM] <Evie> wb KK
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:55:05 PM] <DesertRose> wb
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:55:55 PM] <KK> Evie, to the guys who do militaria actually make the clothing, or do they just buy it?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:56:16 PM] <DesertRose> We did Easter dinner today (rather than last Sunday) because everybody in my family was down with a stomach bug last week. My mom made this banana pudding that is to die for.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:56:20 PM] <KK> do the guys.....
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:56:29 PM] <Evie> Usually it's bought. THere is a pretty extensive market for 1:6 military figures, clothing, and props
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:56:37 PM] * Shiral sighs with regret, but waves farewell and steps onto her transfer portal and disappears in a cloud of blue steam
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:56:50 PM] <Shiral> Sorry everyone, I have to go be a proper employee, again
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:56:50 PM] <DesertRose> See you later, Shiral.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:56:51 PM] <the_Bee> bye Shiral
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:56:52 PM] <Evie> though some people do make some things that are hard to find commercially or downright impossible
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:56:55 PM] <DesertRose> Have a good week.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:56:57 PM] <KK> I did Easter lunch last week, which stretched into the evening--which is why I didn't make it to chat.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:56:58 PM] <Evie> bye Shiral
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:57:00 PM] <Shiral> Good writing this week, KK!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:57:09 PM] <Evie> I figured you had Easter plans
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:57:12 PM] <KK> Nighters, Shiral. Any luck condo hunting?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:57:13 PM] <Shiral> Good painting, Evie
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:57:24 PM] <Shiral> Sigh, the hunt continues, KK
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:57:32 PM] <KK> Boo!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:57:42 PM] <Shiral> More places are coming up for sale, but prices are inching up
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:57:54 PM] <DesertRose> I heard that about the California housing market.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:57:54 PM] <jemler> nite shiral
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:57:56 PM] <Shiral> Anyway, farewell until next week
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:58:02 PM] <Shiral> It's brutal, yeah
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:58:03 PM] <KK> Yeah, the real estate market seems slowly to be recovering.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:58:05 PM] <Shiral> BYE!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:58:10 PM] <Evie> bye
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:58:14 PM] Quit Shiral has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:58:15 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12bye
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:59:22 PM] <Evie> I recently got a package of plastic 1:6 freebies from a friend who thought I might be able to use them. A lot of the items are very non-medieval guns and ammo and the like, but I got a "wooden" table and two barrels I may repaint for a medieval scene
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:59:32 PM] <DesertRose> Cool.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:59:54 PM] <DesertRose> Maybe one of the military action-figure people will want the non-medieval stuff?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:59:54 PM] <Evie> the barrels look like they could be turned on the side and use as ale casks too. :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [07:59:58 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:00:15 PM] <KK> Those sound cool. And I really am going to end you that care package, Real Soon. There're some chests of drawers that, with repainting, should prove useful.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:00:20 PM] <Evie> That's what I'm hoping, DR. I'll keep some of the more versatile stuff and use the rest as trade items
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:00:25 PM] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:00:30 PM] <Evie> Oh, cool!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:00:48 PM] <Evie> Looking forward to seeing it
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:01:20 PM] <Evie> I have a package of headless bodies I need to ship to Germany soon. Not that that sounds at all weird or anything. ;-)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:02:09 PM] <KK> LOL!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:02:50 PM] <Evie> Oh, KK! I know that Duncan's study has a polished marble floor under the area rug, but you don't mention the walls, besides that they are covered with tapestries. Would they be stone block, like perhaps travertine marble or the like?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:03:16 PM] <Evie> I've looked at some Basilica photos to try to get an idea, but most show the main nave rather than any outer chambers.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:03:29 PM] <jemler> sheetrock from Home Improvement,
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:03:33 PM] <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:03:43 PM] <Evie> Right. I'll look up medieval sheetrock, jemler.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:03:49 PM] <Evie> I'll get right on that. :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:04:19 PM] <Evie> I also considered wood panelling
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:04:28 PM] <KK> Probably plastered and painted--though in a basilica office, they might be cut stone. I'd imagine that Duncan hung the tapestries because the walls were plain. Also, for insulation. And the fireplace is much smaller than you're imagining it. It's a small room, after all, and he'd have to clean the grate himself, probably.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:04:29 PM] <DesertRose> Granite? Nice and sturdy and not nearly as expensive as marble.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:04:39 PM] <jemler> it might habeen imported, from Plastered in Paris.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:05:16 PM] <Evie> ok
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:05:56 PM] <DesertRose> Bad pun, jemler. Straight to the punitentiary for you!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:06:00 PM] <KK> Truth be told, I didn't know that much about medieval architecture when I started the series. And the castles and cathedrals that we see now are not the way they were int he day. Tombs, for example, were pained in a riot of colors, not just left bare stone or alabaster.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:06:15 PM] <KK> painted.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:06:17 PM] <Evie> So how much wall space shoudl it take up? The book text just says ". A huge gray stone fireplace"
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:06:50 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, sometimes you can see residual paint on tomb effigies.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:06:52 PM] <Evie> Yes, and castle rooms were also often painted
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:07:03 PM] <Evie> and had interior walls taht didn't survive the centuries
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:07:09 PM] <the_Bee> big enough to hold a huge pot, i imagine
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:07:19 PM] <KK> I think "huge" probably refers tot he size of the blocks outlining the opening. But you wouldn't need a fireplace big enough to roast an ox, like in a great hall.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:07:21 PM] <DesertRose> Hell, sometimes even the exterior walls don't survive today.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:07:53 PM] <DesertRose> There were all kinds of castles and palaces and stuff that aren't there any more.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:07:57 PM] <Evie> LOL! Oh, it's not that big. that fireplace was one designed for home use (the floor plan program is made for designing houses, not castles), so it's not as huge as you might think.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:08:12 PM] <KK> Often, in castles at least, interior walls were timber, rather like the screens we see in modern reconstructions, sectioning off an antechamber at the rear of a hall.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:08:30 PM] <Evie> Remember, that wall is just 12 feet long, and three feet of it is the doorway. At least one foot is the space between door and wall, which just leaves 6 feet of space
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:08:46 PM] <Evie> So the fireplace is probably only four feet wide, which is just a little smaller than the one in my house.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:09:00 PM] <DesertRose> I saw a program (can't remember what channel) about timber castles that were on the sites before they built stone ones. Leonard Nimoy narrated it.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:09:12 PM] <KK> And of that 6 ft. probably only 3 ft. is opening.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:09:39 PM] <the_Bee> sounds like History Channel or PBS
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:09:43 PM] <Evie> Yes, that is why I thought it might be possible Duncan had linenfold paneling on the walls, though given the rest of the building and his desire to cover the walls, I figured it might be stone instead.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:09:56 PM] <Evie> Either pretty stone or something plastered over
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:09:59 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, it was probably one of those, or maybe H2 or NatGeo.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:10:39 PM] <DesertRose> How the hell do you hang tapestries on a stone wall, anyway?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:10:41 PM] <Evie> So that's about the dimensions of the fireplace in that floor plan. It just looks big due to the "hood," I think.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:10:52 PM] <Evie> Poster Tack, DR. ;-)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:10:55 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:11:01 PM] <KK> Linenfold was made to resemble real curtains covering walls. The Sistine chapel has some spectacular painted linen curtaining.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:11:01 PM] <jemler> you sure it wasn't that show wih Tim Allan?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:11:13 PM] <KK> No hood.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:11:31 PM] <Evie> No, you can put hooks, spikes, etc. into soft stone. You just wouldn't put in flimsy little nails, and what goes on the walls probably would stay up.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:11:36 PM] <KK> And you're right, that's probably what's making it look so big.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:11:42 PM] <DesertRose> Reckon so. :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:12:22 PM] <KK> The hood is making it look bigger than it is. Hard to have a proper mantel with a hood.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:12:39 PM] <Evie> OK. The fireplace I was thinking of remodeling to look medieval doesn't have a hood on it, so that makes my life easier.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:13:16 PM] <KK> Just a simple fireplace, no fancy surround, just outlined with stone blocks.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:13:49 PM] <Evie> Arch shaped? Most of the ones I've seen from earlier on tended to have an arch shaped opening, though I've seen square as well.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:13:59 PM] <Evie> square or rectangular, that is.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:14:23 PM] <DesertRose> I just went and looked on IMDb. There was a History's Mysteries called England's Lost Castles that might have been the show I'm thinking of.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:14:26 PM] <the_Bee> I look forward to seeing your work in progress and completed, Evie. I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around this room.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:14:44 PM] <KK> Most of the medieval fireplaces I'm remembering have a square or rectangular opening.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:15:02 PM] <Evie> I have a rough 3D layout, Bee, but since I used an online program to do it, and it's not set up with medieval furniture, I had to make use of approximate modern ones
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:15:29 PM] <Evie> OK. This just keeps getting easier, given I'd be working with foam board. :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:15:51 PM] <Kelric> nap over
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:15:58 PM] <DesertRose> wb Kelric,
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:16:09 PM] <the_Bee> sleep well?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:16:12 PM] <Evie> welcome back to consciousness
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:17:07 PM] <Evie> Hm. If it's a square opening, I could inset a box in back and have an actual "lighted" fire in it built around a battery operated "tea candle."
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:17:42 PM] <KK> This is sounding better all the time.... :-)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:17:57 PM] <Evie> actually, I could do that with a rectangular opening as well. It's just harder for me to design that inset area with an arch opening.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:18:19 PM] Quit derynifanatic64 has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:18:21 PM] <Evie> I could make the "fireplace fire" removable so it could also serve as a campfire outdoors
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:18:42 PM] <Evie> I wanted to make one anyway for the future war pavillion encampment
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:18:58 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, I'm thinking a real fire is probably asking to lose all your stuff.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:19:31 PM] <Evie> or any other scene in which Alaric and Duncan are en route to someplace and decide not to put up at an inn for the night. Outside of St Neot's, maybe?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:20:10 PM] <KK> This is cool, watching your thoruhgt processes as you figure this out!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:20:26 PM] <Evie> With the weather starting to turn sunny, I've already scouted out a nice little venue for some outdoor "camping" photos.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:21:06 PM] <Evie> A couple of horses, Duncan and Alaric dressed for travel, a "roaring campfire", some food served on a stump or blanket...what's not to like? :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:21:11 PM] <DesertRose> :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:22:02 PM] <Evie> Maybe once the men have their new bodies, that would be a fun shoot to try. They can't sit horses yet without looking ridiculous.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:22:35 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:23:17 PM] <DesertRose> Holy cow, it's going to be 80 F tomorrow.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:23:21 PM] <DesertRose> About time.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:23:31 PM] <Evie> I tried once. They bend forward at the hips but the legs won't spread apart. They will spread outward from the knees, so to put them on horseback requires their legs to be straight until knee level, then splayed outwards. It looks right stupid. :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:23:47 PM] <DesertRose> ROFL
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:23:52 PM] <Evie> Long tunics help hide a bit of the stupid, but not well.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:24:16 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, long tunics cover many issues, but apparently not much of this one.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:24:39 PM] <Evie> So even if these new bodies end up not being absolutely perfect matches, color-wise, I think I could learn to live with that as long as I can pose the guys decently.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:24:46 PM] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:24:47 PM] <Evie> it's not like they'll be running around in the buff, after all!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:24:55 PM] <DesertRose> NAKED TIME!!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:24:58 PM] <DesertRose> :P
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:25:15 PM] <Evie> Unless we find a good swimming hole. ;-)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:25:33 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:26:12 PM] <Kelric> lol
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:26:23 PM] <KK> I was thinking swimming hole, like the scene in Swords against the Marluk, where Brion & Alaric strip off and go for a swim after a long, dusty ride.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:26:55 PM] <DesertRose> I have to think that that would be a bit chilly, unless Gwynedd was having a heat wave.

[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:27:24 PM] <KK> It was summer, and they'd been sweating in armour earlier in the day.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:27:26 PM] <Evie_> dagnabbit, I keep crashing!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:27:36 PM] <the_Bee> Hi Eviel twin
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:27:40 PM] <DesertRose> Ah, okay, then the cool water would feel good. :)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:27:45 PM] <Evie_> I was just saying a kiddy pool wouldn't be the same, and got a disconnected message
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:27:59 PM] <Evie_> "Eviel twin"...LOL
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:29:04 PM] <Evie_> Looks like I can't change my name until my ghost disappears

[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:29:23 PM] Nick Evie_ is now known as Evie.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:29:28 PM] Mode derynibot gives channel operator privileges to Evie.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:29:54 PM] <Evie> The new hands have separate fingers, btw, so now Alaric and Duncan can wear rings properly
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:30:05 PM] <Evie> which of course means I need to figure out how to make ridiculously tiny rings
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:30:47 PM] <Evie> Don't expect loads of detail, but hopefully I can at least get the colors right and suggest the details.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:31:04 PM] <Evie> I'm not all that great at sculpting.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:31:50 PM] <Evie> hello...am I disconnected again? :-(
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:31:53 PM] <DesertRose> You're better at handsewing than I am. I hate to sew by hand.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:31:59 PM] <DesertRose> Nope, you're still here.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:32:00 PM] <the_Bee> still here, Evie
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:32:01 PM] <KK> I'd start with a jump-ring and go from there, maybe with twisted wire.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:32:03 PM] <Evie> I hate to sew by machine
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:32:17 PM] <DesertRose> I'm glad I know how, but it's not really my favorite thing either.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:32:21 PM] <jemler> when i sew, i use a needle.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:32:31 PM] <DesertRose> The stupid thing is, I love to cross stitch. I just don't like to sew by hand.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:32:52 PM] <Evie> I have some incredibly thin wire that Thistlethorn sent me (I think that's his forum name?)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:32:54 PM] * DesertRose throws a very small goldfish at jemler.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:33:54 PM] <DesertRose> Uh oh, I killed chat by throwing fish.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:34:04 PM] <Evie> I was thinking of trying to do some Viking wire weaving with it (similar to spool knitting with wire), but first I need to find a small spool or my lucet
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:34:27 PM] <DesertRose> BRB, tea
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:34:53 PM] <Evie> I also have some sculptable plastic that is a little like Sculpey but less brittle, being plastic.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:35:18 PM] <Evie> That's what I made Duncan's current bishop ring from. It's sculptable plastic with a rhinestone glued to it.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:36:07 PM] <KK> You might be able to do the band from a jump-ring, and attach a seed-bead jewel.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:36:08 PM] <Evie> You just melt it in some water on the stove top, fish it out with a spoon, give it a few seconds to cool, and shape it like clay
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:36:31 PM] <KK> Or sculpt a jewel setting onto the jump-ring.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:36:41 PM] <Evie> That could work too, but it won't lie flat like a ring, and I'm worried it might damage the hand if it snags on something.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:36:56 PM] <the_Bee> What's a jump-ring?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:37:08 PM] <Evie> The rings used in jewelry to link one bit to the next, Bee
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:37:21 PM] <the_Bee> ah, so very tiny
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:37:24 PM] <Evie> like the ring that holds a pendant on a chain, for instance.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:37:38 PM] <Evie> or holds dangling earring parts togehter
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:38:00 PM] <Evie> I have a bag of a thousand jump rings that I thought about using to make chain mail, but sanity returned.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:38:11 PM] <KK> Sanity, indeed!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:38:13 PM] <jemler> so thety don't jump from finger to finger?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:38:23 PM] <KK> Not if you're lucky.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:38:29 PM] <Evie> they do if I'm trying to work with them, jemler. Or at least beads jump from my finger to the carpet.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:38:46 PM] <the_Bee> I was picturing something a horse would wear for a steeplechase.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:39:08 PM] <jemler> you taught your carpet to catch? nice!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:39:09 PM] <Evie> there's an online supplier called the Ring Lord that makes mini chain mail that is prelinked. It's the sort made for shark suits and the like.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:39:17 PM] <Evie> But it's very pricey, even when bought per foot.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:39:26 PM] <Evie> so I don't think I'll go that route either.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:40:08 PM] <Evie> At most I might make little "tubes" of chain links to cover arms and legs, and pretend there is more under their leather jerkins.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:40:34 PM] <Evie> but I was even looking into trying to knit those out of gray or silver cord.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:40:53 PM] <KK> Horse bardings and harness are going to be fun!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:41:08 PM] <Evie> Yes. I do have some ideas on how to make those.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:41:14 PM] <KK> Crochet with merallic thread also might work for mail.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:41:21 PM] <KK> metallic
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:41:28 PM] <Evie> In fact, I may make them first before I attempt any repainting, since they will hide old glue and the like.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:42:08 PM] <KK> Old glue will still need to be painted over, or the horses can't be unharnessed.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:42:41 PM] <Evie> Now that the weather is getting warmer, I'll be able to spray them with plastic primer
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:42:53 PM] <Evie> and repair a few "melt marks" with epoxy and sand it before priming it.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:43:12 PM] <KK> That should make life easier.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:43:27 PM] <Evie> They have to be primed before repainting, but you can't spray the primer in cold and/or humid weather, and it's been both this winter.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:43:37 PM] <Evie> nearly unrelenting cold rain.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:43:57 PM] <Evie> or at least cold and misty, or cold and threatening to rain soon.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:44:12 PM] <Evie> so this week's sunshine is very welcome
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:44:39 PM] <Evie> I tried air drying clay for the first time last night to make a shiral crystal stand. I still need to paint that
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:44:49 PM] <Evie> but at least now you can't tell it's a plumbing part. :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:45:14 PM] <KK> Our weather finally broke. This weekend was actually spring-like.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:45:44 PM] <jemler> it's 72F here right now.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:45:52 PM] <Evie> I'm cautiously optimistic. We had days like this a month or so ago, but the bad weather returned. This time I'm less likely to want to go groundhog hunting. ;-)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:45:58 PM] <the_Bee> Our forecast for the week is extremely variable.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:46:43 PM] <jemler> between 50 and 70 here tomorrow
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:46:47 PM] <Evie> In fact, the last time we had a weekend this nice was when I painted that lute ornament
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:47:10 PM] <the_Bee> 70s Tuesday, 50s Wednesday
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:48:58 PM] <Evie> Hm. My notes on Morgan's ring (the "sable, a gryphon segreant vert" signet) mentions them glowing or appearing to glow in some scene or another. Was that maybe during a magical working, or is it a regular feature of that ring? Should I mix in a bit of glow-in-the-dark paint with the green? :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:49:29 PM] <Evie> I think I actually have some somewhere.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:49:49 PM] <KK> That would have been a eature of agic being worked. It definitely doesn't glow normally.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:49:57 PM] <KK> feature
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:49:58 PM] <Evie> Kelson still needs his Eye of Rom as well.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:50:09 PM] <jemler> could the glow have been Morgan's impression, as seen thru Sight, not actually visible to others?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:50:42 PM] <KK> Quite possibly, Jemler.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:50:52 PM] <Evie> possible. And at such small scale, I doubt my "gryphon" will look like more than a teeny stick figure of a gryphon on the black stone anyway.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:51:30 PM] <Evie> Even if it's a fairly sizable signet ring, that only translates to a fraction of an inch across in real world terms.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:51:31 PM] <jemler> we have examples of Deryni Seeing things like that (Kelson's Duel with Charissa is one)
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:51:57 PM] <Evie> OK, I won't worry about special effects, then.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:52:43 PM] <Evie> Although I would at least love to learn how to do a glowing dome in Gimp for scenes using Ward Cubes.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:54:24 PM] <jemler> could you use plastic wrap, covered in glitter to seem magical?
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:54:30 PM] <Evie> since it's unlikely I'll find a hugemongous plastic dome I can use to cover a whole scene in photos. :D
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:55:23 PM] <Evie> dunno, jemler. I'm sure I'll figure it out.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:55:53 PM] <Evie> Or I can just stage the scene and let people's imagination supply special effects
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:56:32 PM] <the_Bee> sounds good to me
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:56:32 PM] <KK> Whoops! Gotta go, Game of Thrones about to start, and I need to turn on a set in another room. See you next week, guys.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:56:50 PM] <the_Bee> nighters, KK. Thanks for coming
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:56:54 PM] <KK> ?me steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:56:57 PM] <jemler> nite kk
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:57:03 PM] <Evie> Hm. Going back to the fireplace, I could put on a removable hood that could go on the mantel for scenes not set in Duncan's study. I'm making it with modular walls that can be used in other settings, after all.
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:57:13 PM] <Evie> See you later, KK!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:57:20 PM] <Evie> Happy belated Easter!
[Sunday, April 07, 2013] [08:57:21 PM] <KK> Yep. Nighters.
