Pre-Town Hall

(11/30 21:13:23) Robert Murry waves hello
(11/30 21:13:33) Njal: hello
(11/30 21:13:41) Jules Lavisham: Shorah Njal!
(11/30 21:13:43) Robert Murry: Welcome back, Jules.
(11/30 21:13:52) Jules Lavisham: Hi there Rob
(11/30 21:14:03) Jules Lavisham: Left my notes at Relto like a silly person.
(11/30 21:14:48) Jules Lavisham: Shorah again Eresh, AlotOf
(11/30 21:14:58) ALotOf: shorah Jules
(11/30 21:15:03) Robert Murry: Well, we should have a nice quiet meeting.
(11/30 21:15:21) Charen Kura'quen: quiet is nice.
(11/30 21:15:22) Jules Lavisham: Yes! Not a tremendous amount to go through this month, should zip through it nicely
(11/30 21:15:28) Robert Murry: Hi Eresh and ALotOf
(11/30 21:15:43) ALotOf: Hi Robert
(11/30 21:15:49) Jules Lavisham: Not every month we do opening negotiations with a new world
(11/30 21:15:59) Charen Kura'quen chuckles nervously
(11/30 21:15:59) Jules Lavisham grins at Kura'quen
(11/30 21:16:02) Robert Murry: Hello Kura'quen
(11/30 21:16:08) Charen Kura'quen nods to Robert,
(11/30 21:16:24) Robert Murry: Mind if I join you?
(11/30 21:16:30) Charen Kura'quen: sure! go ahead.
(11/30 21:16:38) ALotOf: no problems
(11/30 21:17:47) Jules Lavisham gets out his notes and gives them a flicking through
(11/30 21:18:07) Ereshkigal: Hi Murry!
(11/30 21:18:21) Jules Lavisham: Oh, Kura'quen, we should probably have our people talk shop at some point about those livestock arrangements we talked about
(11/30 21:18:56) Charen Kura'quen: i think that's part of why Kelsei and Calum were called over to talk with the Priestesses today?
(11/30 21:19:05) Charen Kura'quen: though, I got the feeling there was more to it than that.
(11/30 21:19:18) Jules Lavisham: Aha, splendid!
(11/30 21:19:22) Charen Kura'quen: it did come up rather suddenly for me to ask them to go over...
(11/30 21:19:25) Robert Murry: Oh?
(11/30 21:19:31) Jules Lavisham: Oho?
(11/30 21:19:34) Charen Kura'quen adjusts her glasses nervously.
(11/30 21:19:45) Charen Kura'quen: I'm not sure exactly why. nobody told me much on that regard.
(11/30 21:20:05) Charen Kura'quen: i figure if something's important they'll save it for when i get back so i'm not needlessly worrying.
(11/30 21:20:19) Charen Kura'quen: though, that may just be my own anxiety flaring up in wonder...
(11/30 21:20:22) Robert Murry: Hmm... I hope everything is all right.
(11/30 21:20:27) Charen Kura'quen shrugs
(11/30 21:20:37) Charen Kura'quen: hopefully- Oh! Hello, Dr. Quinlan
(11/30 21:20:46) Tiernan Quinlan waves hello
(11/30 21:20:56) Robert Murry: Shorah Tenny.
(11/30 21:20:59) Jules Lavisham: Good to see you, Doc!
(11/30 21:21:08) Tiernan Quinlan smiles at Jules.
(11/30 21:21:19) Tiernan Quinlan: Thanks!
(11/30 21:21:23) Jules Lavisham: How've you been?
(11/30 21:21:24) Robert Murry: Haven't seen you in a while.
(11/30 21:21:41) Tiernan Quinlan: Aye
(11/30 21:22:26) Charen Kura'quen: thank you for the note taking, Dr. I gave Calum's last drafts a review and I gave them my approval.
(11/30 21:22:50) Tiernan Quinlan: I've been busy... er... well... (sigh)
(11/30 21:23:03) Charen Kura'quen: i know the feeling.
(11/30 21:23:13) Tiernan Quinlan: Oh, of course, I enjoy takin' notes.
(11/30 21:23:15) Robert Murry ***** an eybrow.
(11/30 21:23:15) Jules Lavisham nods in understanding
(11/30 21:23:29) Charen Kura'quen: seems like it hasn't nearly been as long as it has been since our last get-together,
(11/30 21:23:55) Charen Kura'quen: time passes by quickly.
(11/30 21:24:05) Tiernan Quinlan: Aye, it does.
(11/30 21:24:21) Robert Murry: Well, Poker Night hasn't been the same without you, Doc. But we understand.
(11/30 21:24:30) Jules Lavisham: You say that, Kura'quen, my neck muscles and I are yet to get back onto speaking terms
(11/30 21:25:05) Charen Kura'quen giggles
(11/30 21:25:08) Charen Kura'quen: sorry to hear that, Jules.
(11/30 21:25:28) Robert Murry shakes his head and looks down.
(11/30 21:25:29) Jules Lavisham: Self inflicted, I deserve no sympathy.
(11/30 21:25:39) Thumbs up from ALotOf
(11/30 21:25:39) Thumbs up from NoMore
(11/30 21:25:58) Jules Lavisham: I was fuelled by spirits and bravado. And a desire to impress General Amara'da.
(11/30 21:26:08) Jules Lavisham: Lessons were learned.
(11/30 21:26:13) Charen Kura'quen smiles
(11/30 21:26:26) Charen Kura'quen: one would do well to try not to outdo General Amara'da.
(11/30 21:26:38) Jules Lavisham: Haha, quite so.
(11/30 21:26:52) ALotOf: you ready for this, NoMore?
(11/30 21:26:53) NoMore: ready when you are, ALotOf.
(11/30 21:26:59) Robert Murry chuckles quietly to himself and wonders if Jules has truly learned his lesson.
(11/30 21:27:07) Jules Lavisham: Oh, Edward sends his best regards, by the way. He apologises that he couldn't make it.
(11/30 21:27:25) Robert Murry: And how is Edward?
(11/30 21:28:07) Jules Lavisham: Doing well! His trips the university send him on always end up taxing him through one means or the other.
(11/30 21:28:49) Jules Lavisham: Few other interested parties were after that first edition the uni sent him to grab.
(11/30 21:28:54) ALotOf: 1 = 'or the other'. interesting equation.
(11/30 21:29:20) NoMore: ALotOf... trhat was meant in a different sense...
(11/30 21:29:37) ALotOf: ah, okay, sorry. i know what you mean...
(11/30 21:30:08) Jules Lavisham: But he's interested in the prospect of future involvement with things down here.
(11/30 21:30:39) Jules Lavisham: So, fingers crossed he can get some time away from the Archive.
(11/30 21:30:47) Robert Murry: Great. The more, The merrier.
(11/30 21:30:48) Jules Lavisham: Lad could do with a rest cure.
(11/30 21:31:32) Jules Lavisham: He did seem quite up for studying more of Rei'schu's assorted religious and spiritual practices
(11/30 21:32:01) Charen Kura'quen smiles
(11/30 21:32:11) Jules Lavisham checks the time
(11/30 21:32:26) Jules Lavisham: Right, give it another minute for the stragglers

[Jules Lavisham]

Town Hall Start

(11/30 21:33:52) Jules Lavisham: Ok!
(11/30 21:34:14) Jules Lavisham: Shorah everybody, and welcome to this month's Explorer Town Hall!
(11/30 21:34:37) Ereshkigal: Hi Jules!
(11/30 21:35:00) Jules Lavisham: This month, we're very lucky to be joined by a special guest
(11/30 21:35:45) Charen Kura'quen waves hello
(11/30 21:35:53) Robert Murry claps his hands
(11/30 21:36:01) Jules Lavisham: In fact, an esteemed citizen and Mayor of the age of Rei'schu, Kura'quen!
(11/30 21:36:11) Charen Kura'quen: not the entire age, hehe
(11/30 21:36:14) Charen Kura'quen: just, just a town...
(11/30 21:36:24) Jules Lavisham: No, yes, quite right
(11/30 21:36:25) ALotOf: oh shorah your high then
(11/30 21:36:31) Jules Lavisham chuckles
(11/30 21:36:51) Charen Kura'quen adjusts her glasses nervously...
(11/30 21:36:53) NoMore: (that is someone important I guess ALotOf...)
(11/30 21:36:58) Jules Lavisham: Kura'quen is the Mayor of the town of Karin'nen
(11/30 21:37:25) Charen Kura'quen nods
(11/30 21:37:32) Jules Lavisham: And it was in fact the first settlement that myself, Tenny, Kelsei and the rest of us came across all those months ago
(11/30 21:38:05) Jules Lavisham: It was under her and her priestess Karin'da's care that Cal was able to be looked after when he was taken unwell
(11/30 21:38:27) Charen Kura'quen: it was more the priesteses than myself... really...
(11/30 21:39:11) Jules Lavisham: Well, it all certainly left a good impression on us
(11/30 21:39:29) Charen Kura'quen smiles
(11/30 21:39:44) Charen Kura'quen: I'm glad to hear that.
(11/30 21:39:56) Jules Lavisham: Hopefully this marks the beginning of increased visitations to each of our respective worlds
(11/30 21:40:31) Jules Lavisham: I know for a fact that Rob and I can't wait to give that wonderful library from our last visit a good going over
(11/30 21:40:47) Robert Murry: That is true.
(11/30 21:40:55) Charen Kura'quen: I'm told we've hit some mild snags with the preparation of the apartment area, but we're hoping to have them sorted out soon.
(11/30 21:41:21) Jules Lavisham: Fantastic!
(11/30 21:42:07) Jules Lavisham: Incidentally, it's Rei'schu that have drawn Calum and Kelsei away for this month,
(11/30 21:42:52) Jules Lavisham: So Tenny, I'm relying on you to factcheck if I say something particular egregious
(11/30 21:43:07) Jules Lavisham grins
(11/30 21:43:13) Tiernan Quinlan chuckles
(11/30 21:43:24) Jules Lavisham: Right, all that being said, usual rules apply
(11/30 21:43:32) Jules Lavisham: No pressing the blue button behind me
(11/30 21:43:56) Jules Lavisham: Overly longish comments to be kept to a minimum where possible,
(11/30 21:44:20) Jules Lavisham: any issues, PM Tenny in this case, he'll pass on anything that needs addressing to me
(11/30 21:44:55) Jules Lavisham: And the transcript for tonight's meeting will be posted to the Beneath forums for archival purposes
(11/30 21:45:24) Jules Lavisham: That's at www.dniexplorer.com/forum
(11/30 21:45:30) Tiernan Quinlan nods his head
(11/30 21:46:07) Jules Lavisham: Right!
(11/30 21:46:24) Jules Lavisham: Quick update on Eder Bahvahnter
(11/30 21:46:54) Jules Lavisham: Unfortunately it looks like we're going to be needing to push back the December unveiling
(11/30 21:47:16) Jules Lavisham: There appears to be a butterfly migration going on in the age
(11/30 21:47:37) Robert Murry shakes his head
(11/30 21:47:47) Jules Lavisham: Quite an extensive one as it happens. Just as many leaving as one's showing up
(11/30 21:47:49) ALotOf: biological needs take predence... understandable...
(11/30 21:48:07) ALotOf: *precedence?*
(11/30 21:48:24) Jules Lavisham: Something of a "one in, one out" policy, as it were
(11/30 21:48:52) Robert Murry: I wonder what is atrracting so many to that place?
(11/30 21:49:21) Jules Lavisham: It is a curiosity, Robert.
(11/30 21:49:39) ALotOf: some special nectar of some plants in growth?
(11/30 21:50:05) Robert Murry: Mmm... Maybe ALotOf.
(11/30 21:50:13) Jules Lavisham: Definite possibility, ALotOf. Or could very well be an annual thing.
(11/30 21:50:29) Charen Kura'quen: or could be some other rare semi-seasonal thing
(11/30 21:50:31) Jules Lavisham: Or even perhaps signs of a population explosion
(11/30 21:50:54) Charen Kura'quen: sometimes we see large swarms of birds on Rei'schu when there's a storm front in a region they usually inhabit.
(11/30 21:51:25) Jules Lavisham: A definite possibility, Kura'quen.
(11/30 21:51:57) Jules Lavisham: It's certainly not something we want to run the risk of exposing a sudden influx of explorers to, in any case.
(11/30 21:52:39) ALotOf: would be interesting to study
(11/30 21:52:41) Jules Lavisham: Partly for our safety, partly because if it is a natural thing we don't want to stick our proverbial oars in and end up damaging the ecosystem.
(11/30 21:52:55) NoMore shudders
(11/30 21:53:19) Jules Lavisham: So, Eder Bahvahnter is being pushed back while we investigate further.
(11/30 21:53:57) Ereshkigal: I have to leave, btw. See you guys later!!
(11/30 21:54:04) Charen Kura'quen waves goodbye
(11/30 21:54:07) Charen Kura'quen: take care, eresh,
(11/30 21:54:11) Ereshkigal waves goodbye
(11/30 21:54:18) Jules Lavisham: See you later Eresh
(11/30 21:54:20) judyg: bye. sweet dreams!
(11/30 21:54:20) Tiernan Quinlan waves hello
(11/30 21:54:35) Ereshkigal: Thank you, Kura'quen! Enjoy your stay here on Earh, and be welcome!
(11/30 21:54:38) Robert Murry: That's wise, Jules.
(11/30 21:54:45) ALotOf waves goodbye
(11/30 21:55:08) Jules Lavisham: Mmm. No estimated date as of yet, but we'll keep you all posted.
(11/30 21:55:26) Jules Lavisham: Right, aside from that,
(11/30 21:55:52) Jules Lavisham: main other age news to report is that we're gearing up for getting the place looking a little more festive around here
(11/30 21:56:20) Robert Murry starts humming Deck The Halls...
(11/30 21:56:37) ALotOf starts humming deck the halls...
(11/30 21:56:47) judyg: most "wunderfle" time of the year
(11/30 21:56:49) NoMore starts humming deck the halls...
(11/30 21:57:04) Jules Lavisham: So expect some suitably colourful finery to be appearing in the Messenger's Pub, Serene and the like
(11/30 21:57:47) judyg: anything new for the relto closet? like eliminating invisa-shirt?
(11/30 21:57:52) Jules Lavisham: Kura'quen, I believe you said that Calum mentioned to you he's got some plans for Eder Naybree as well?
(11/30 21:58:05) Charen Kura'quen: yes, something for the fountain, i believe he said,
(11/30 21:58:17) Jules Lavisham: Excellent!
(11/30 21:58:17) Charen Kura'quen: he's asked for some harmonic orbs, some banners, and a few spotlights.
(11/30 21:59:09) Jules Lavisham: Capital. Quite looking forward to that.
(11/30 21:59:51) Jules Lavisham: Now then... let's see, what else...
(11/30 21:59:57) Jules Lavisham: Ah, yes.
(11/30 22:00:26) Jules Lavisham: A number of us have received a recent message from Benavud
(11/30 22:00:40) judyg: miss him
(11/30 22:00:43) Jules Lavisham: He's written to let us know that he's taking some time away from the Cavern for a few months
(11/30 22:01:07) Jules Lavisham: He's not gone anywhere tremendously far, thankfully
(11/30 22:01:11) Robert Murry: I hope he is doing well.
(11/30 22:01:42) judyg whispers, he;s gotta "find" hisself
(11/30 22:01:48) ALotOf: greetings to Benavud
(11/30 22:01:51) judyg: best wishes to Ben
(11/30 22:01:53) Jules Lavisham: Doing as well as he can, given the magnitude of his discovery about himself Robert
(11/30 22:01:56) NoMore: write him a post card
(11/30 22:02:17) Robert Murry: That hit him pretty hard.
(11/30 22:02:19) Jules Lavisham: He's spending some time with Tommon, a D'ni associate of Keith's
(11/30 22:02:32) Cpt.Jericho: I hope he will find help.
(11/30 22:02:44) judyg: nothing but well wishes to him
(11/30 22:02:49) Jules Lavisham: So do I, Cpt.
(11/30 22:03:00) Robert Murry: Tommon will see him through this.
(11/30 22:03:11) Jules Lavisham: He feels he needs to take time to understand the full implication of who he is and what that means to him.
(11/30 22:03:31) judyg: indeed
(11/30 22:03:50) NoMore: Being a D'ni by DNA but thinking and behaving like a surface human is odd enough...
(11/30 22:04:06) NoMore: hope he's doing well
(11/30 22:04:24) Jules Lavisham: I do too, NoMore
(11/30 22:04:44) Jules Lavisham: I have no doubt we'll be seeing him again though
(11/30 22:04:55) Robert Murry: Hopefully more of his memory will return.
(11/30 22:04:59) NoMore: could be an interesting story though...
(11/30 22:05:04) ALotOf: NoMore!
(11/30 22:05:37) NoMore: what?
(11/30 22:06:01) Jules Lavisham: Ok,
(11/30 22:06:28) Jules Lavisham: a number of months ago we talked about the disappearence of a number of items belonging to explorers
(11/30 22:06:47) judyg: heh! like my shirt!
(11/30 22:06:56) ALotOf: lol
(11/30 22:07:14) NoMore: lol
(11/30 22:07:38) Jules Lavisham: items that we had begun to suspect had been deliberately stolen
(11/30 22:08:09) judyg is listening with both ears
(11/30 22:08:32) Jules Lavisham: It was therefore something of a surprise of Kelsei's to receive several of these items in the post recently
(11/30 22:08:54) Jules Lavisham: Including...
(11/30 22:08:58) Jules Lavisham checks his notes
(11/30 22:09:04) Jules Lavisham: Nope, I am reading that right,
(11/30 22:09:13) Jules Lavisham: a certain garden gnome.
(11/30 22:09:21) Robert Murry cheers
(11/30 22:09:23) Tiernan Quinlan chuckles
(11/30 22:09:24) judyg: whoa!!!!
(11/30 22:09:33) judyg: tiki's gnome???
(11/30 22:09:38) Robert Murry: Tiki was happy about that.
(11/30 22:09:40) ALotOf: THE gnome?
(11/30 22:09:56) judyg: woooohooooo!!!!
(11/30 22:10:05) Jules Lavisham: Unless there is an identical garden gnome doing the rounds in the Cavern that no one has yet owned up to, judy
(11/30 22:10:21) Jules Lavisham: I'm not ruling it out
(11/30 22:10:43) Jules Lavisham: But I jest. Yes, it would appear so
(11/30 22:10:43) NoMore: garden gonme invaders lol
(11/30 22:10:53) judyg: hey! not me! i still want to know who went off with my shirt!
(11/30 22:11:00) NoMore: *gno,me*
(11/30 22:11:18) Jules Lavisham: No indication as to who is responsible or what has prompted this
(11/30 22:11:27) judyg: Lol@NoMore!
(11/30 22:11:57) ALotOf: check the sender thoroughly when you receive it lol
(11/30 22:11:58) Jules Lavisham: But we do have several theories based on our ongoing investigations into recent events
(11/30 22:12:18) Jules Lavisham nods at Robert
(11/30 22:12:54) Jules Lavisham: So, if anyone has reported any item missing over the course of the last few months or so and it's turned up in our hands, we'll be in touch to arrange their return
(11/30 22:13:15) Robert Murry: Yes, Harry and I have investigating these events for a while.
(11/30 22:13:41) Robert Murry: We're getting close.
(11/30 22:13:51) Jules Lavisham: Mhm.

[Jules Lavisham]

Town Hall Interruption

(11/30 22:14:35) Jules Lavisham: Right, that's everything I had planned for today. Before we close out,
(11/30 22:15:09) Jules Lavisham: Kura'quen, would you like to come up and say a few words?
(11/30 22:15:16) Charen Kura'quen: of course
(11/30 22:15:27) Charen Kura'quen bows
(11/30 22:15:36) judyg claps her hands
(11/30 22:15:39) Robert Murry claps his hands
(11/30 22:15:39) Charen Kura'quen: "Shorah Bshemtee" -- Did I say that right?
(11/30 22:15:53) Robert Murry: Very wel, yes.
(11/30 22:15:55) Jules Lavisham nods
(11/30 22:15:57) judyg: close enough, i think
(11/30 22:16:03) Charen Kura'quen: um, hello, yes. I'm Kura'quen, Mayor of Karin'nen,
(11/30 22:16:17) NoMore: cGesundheit... sorry, a habit...
(11/30 22:16:32) Charen Kura'quen: I'm mostly just here to extend our thanks for the warm feelings you all sent our way.
(11/30 22:17:05) Charen Kura'quen: it's been a pleasure to go over all the books and read up on things...
(11/30 22:17:59) Charen Kura'quen: we're hoping to have future negotiation sessions regarding a few other topics...
(11/30 22:19:12) NoMore: new cultures are always welcome
(11/30 22:19:12) ALotOf: multitude rocks
(11/30 22:19:29) Charen Kura'quen: one of the main things we're hoping for is, um... oh, thank you all.
(11/30 22:19:32) judyg: diversity rocks
(11/30 22:19:54) Charen Kura'quen: um, we're hoping to open up an apartment type area sometime in the future,
(11/30 22:19:54) Ami Renee Glessad: H-hello... I-I'd like to-to just... let you know... I'm going to be in Naybree on Sunday, the... uh, Fourth, a-at 1100 Ki-time... uh... t-to answer your questions.
(11/30 22:20:25) Jules Lavisham looks up with a start
(11/30 22:20:31) Charen Kura'quen: um. Hello?
(11/30 22:20:39) Jules Lavisham: Who's that... is that-
(11/30 22:20:39) judyg: someone sounds really shy
(11/30 22:20:47) Robert Murry: Hold it right there Miss.
(11/30 22:20:56) Jules Lavisham: Oh. Oh no.
(11/30 22:21:08) Jules Lavisham: Not again.
(11/30 22:21:09) Ami Renee Glessad: I-I just... wanted to tell you...
(11/30 22:21:11) Robert Murry: What's your business here?
(11/30 22:21:27) Ami Renee Glessad: No, no... I-I can't right now.
(11/30 22:21:46) Robert Murry: Madam Mayor stay with Jules.
(11/30 22:21:55) Charen Kura'quen looks back and forth
(11/30 22:21:58) Charen Kura'quen: is something the matter?
(11/30 22:22:02) Ami Renee Glessad: I-I'm... it's important... just... Sunday, Naybree... o-okay?
(11/30 22:22:02) Charen Kura'quen: can we help you, miss?
(11/30 22:22:23) Charen Kura'quen blinks
(11/30 22:22:23) Robert Murry: We'll be there!
(11/30 22:22:31) Jules Lavisham: Ms Glessad, wait!
(11/30 22:22:33) Charen Kura'quen looks to Jules
(11/30 22:22:36) Charen Kura'quen: what was that about?
(11/30 22:22:45) Jules Lavisham: Damnation...
(11/30 22:22:52) judyg: ?????
(11/30 22:23:02) Robert Murry: Damn! She linked out.
(11/30 22:23:04) Charen Kura'quen looks confused
(11/30 22:23:17) judyg feels confused
(11/30 22:23:37) Jules Lavisham: It's fine, Kura'quen. Nothing to worry about.
(11/30 22:23:40) Robert Murry: Sorry Jules, she linked out before I could stop her.
(11/30 22:23:58) Charen Kura'quen: did you know that girl? she seemed quite... um... skittish?
(11/30 22:24:00) Jules Lavisham: It's alright, Rob. I think she was more afraid of us than we needed to be of her.
(11/30 22:24:16) Uncle Moe's Mo Rockin' Cafe: You guys are acting weird.
(11/30 22:24:16) Robert Murry: Madam Mayor, are you okay/ Is everyone here okay?
(11/30 22:24:27) Jules Lavisham: It's a... long story, Kura'quen.
(11/30 22:24:29) Charen Kura'quen: I'm fine, Robert, just a bit confused, and a little worried over whoever that was.
(11/30 22:24:33) judyg thinks Ami knows something
(11/30 22:24:46) Jules Lavisham: Those stolen items I mentioned earlier?
(11/30 22:25:05) Jules Lavisham: Well, we suspect they're the work of a particular group of people.
(11/30 22:25:23) judyg is intrigued
(11/30 22:25:37) Jules Lavisham: A group that the person who spoke and just left is a part of
(11/30 22:25:45) Jules Lavisham: or possibly was
(11/30 22:25:45) Uncle Moe's Mo Rockin' Cafe: Maybe they are a bunch of weirdos?
(11/30 22:25:49) Jules Lavisham: It's
(11/30 22:25:54) Charen Kura'quen: why would they return them after taking them? that hardly seems like a normal thief...
(11/30 22:25:57) Jules Lavisham puts his head in his hands
(11/30 22:26:00) Robert Murry: Kelsei has been receiving these items from an unknown person.
(11/30 22:26:00) Charen Kura'quen: maybe an honorable one, but...
(11/30 22:26:21) Charen Kura'quen: oh, yes, she mentioned something about odd gifts. She said she had some kind of hunch who it was sending them but didn't tell me.
(11/30 22:26:35) ALotOf: maybe they wanted to demonstrate something by stealing and anonymously sending back...
(11/30 22:26:37) Charen Kura'quen: you think that girl was involved with this?
(11/30 22:27:00) judyg: yup
(11/30 22:27:04) Robert Murry: Possibly.
(11/30 22:27:13) Charen Kura'quen frowns,
(11/30 22:27:24) Finley Harlow is a bit puzzled...
(11/30 22:27:34) judyg scratches her head in thought
(11/30 22:27:35) Jules Lavisham: Mmm. Recently we've had some run-ins with a group of...
(11/30 22:27:39) NoMore is totally puzzled...
(11/30 22:27:39) Tiernan Quinlan sighs
(11/30 22:27:54) Uncle Moe's Mo Rockin' Cafe: ...mushroom ravers?
(11/30 22:27:58) Jules Lavisham: Well, individuals with somewhat dubious intentions towards us.
(11/30 22:28:03) Robert Murry: That was Ami, right Jules?
(11/30 22:28:09) Jules Lavisham: Seemed that way.
(11/30 22:28:20) Jules Lavisham: They stormed the Town Hall being held here a couple of months ago
(11/30 22:28:28) Charen Kura'quen blinks
(11/30 22:28:34) Tiernan Quinlan: Yes, that was Ami.
(11/30 22:28:39) Charen Kura'quen: something of a habbit to barge in with these folks, isn't it?
(11/30 22:28:42) Jules Lavisham: Spouted some nonsense about driving all of us.
(11/30 22:28:51) Tiernan Quinlan sighs again.
(11/30 22:29:01) Jules Lavisham: For a horrible second I thought it was going to be a repeat of that...
(11/30 22:29:10) Charen Kura'quen smiles at Jules
(11/30 22:29:18) Robert Murry: Did you catch what she was carrying on about just now?
(11/30 22:29:40) Tiernan Quinlan: Poor girl was far too afraid... but not of us, I don't think. Not really...
(11/30 22:29:45) Charen Kura'quen: i believe she was saying something about being somewhere?
(11/30 22:29:48) judyg: yeah, sunday something or other
(11/30 22:29:51) Jules Lavisham: Something about a meeting in Naybree this Sunday
(11/30 22:29:57) Robert Murry: Sunday... Eder Naybree...
(11/30 22:30:07) judyg: yeah
(11/30 22:30:08) Jules Lavisham: This is... hrm.
(11/30 22:30:16) Tiernan Quinlan: Eleven ki, did she say?
(11/30 22:30:18) Charen Kura'quen: It's a shame i have duties to attend to this weekend, otherwise I think I'd like to speak to this girl.
(11/30 22:30:19) Cpt.Jericho: Good place for an ambush
(11/30 22:30:25) Jules Lavisham: This has the potential to go very wrong indeed.
(11/30 22:30:29) Charen Kura'quen looks towards the Captain,
(11/30 22:30:30) Uncle Moe's Mo Rockin' Cafe: this Sunday, in Eder Naybree! I've figured it out!
(11/30 22:30:31) judyg: i don't remember a time
(11/30 22:30:36) Robert Murry: I believe so Tenny.
(11/30 22:30:52) Charen Kura'quen: an ambush, hm... you may be right about that.
(11/30 22:30:57) Robert Murry: You doing alright there Jules?
(11/30 22:31:06) Charen Kura'quen: didnt she say something about answering questions?
(11/30 22:31:11) Jules Lavisham: I'll be fine, Robert.
(11/30 22:31:21) Cpt.Jericho: Place has has holes and perches for snipers galore
(11/30 22:31:22) Jules Lavisham: We need to sort out what this means.
(11/30 22:31:49) Robert Murry: I agree. We need a gameplan.
(11/30 22:31:50) judyg: indeed, tes
(11/30 22:31:50) Jules Lavisham: If they get wind of this
(11/30 22:31:52) Charen Kura'quen places a hand on Jules shoulder
(11/30 22:31:57) ALotOf: I don't think it might be an ambush... rather someone who might have changed sides...
(11/30 22:32:03) Charen Kura'quen: i'm sure you'll figure it out, Jules.
(11/30 22:32:18) Jules Lavisham smiles
(11/30 22:32:18) Charen Kura'quen: its like what you told me about confidence back at the negotiation, right?
(11/30 22:32:37) ALotOf: but no way to figure out without going some risks...
(11/30 22:32:43) Robert Murry lifts and eyebrow at Jules.
(11/30 22:33:05) Jules Lavisham: Absolutely right
(11/30 22:33:16) Jules Lavisham clears his throat
(11/30 22:33:20) judyg: fore-warned, is fore-armed
(11/30 22:33:39) Cpt.Jericho: I take it, I'll have to leave my bear-traps at Relto?
(11/30 22:33:47) Jules Lavisham: Right! Seems to be habit forming, this sort of thing!
(11/30 22:34:06) Jules Lavisham: There's me thinking I'd zip through the few items I had and knock off for an early night
(11/30 22:34:14) Robert Murry: We may need some help on this one.
(11/30 22:34:26) Jules Lavisham: I need to stop having those kinds of notions, they never end well for me
(11/30 22:34:43) judyg: whatever you need, i am here to help
(11/30 22:34:50) Jules Lavisham: In any case, thank you all as ever for turning out!
(11/30 22:35:00) Charen Kura'quen adjusts her glasses, and smiles
(11/30 22:35:05) Robert Murry: And here I was just saying how quiet a night it was...
(11/30 22:35:08) Tiernan Quinlan nods
(11/30 22:35:10) Jules Lavisham: As I said at the start, transcripts of tonight's meeting will be posted to the Beneath forums
(11/30 22:35:10) judyg: been a pleasure!
(11/30 22:35:35) judyg: thanks for your work!
(11/30 22:35:36) Jules Lavisham: Not entirely sure if there's going to be a December Town Hall, what with holidays and whatnot
(11/30 22:35:54) judyg:
(11/30 22:35:55) Tiernan Quinlan: We can move it if we need, I think?
(11/30 22:36:01) ALotOf: 'quiet night on shouting stars' (freely from some Frank Sinatra or others)
(11/30 22:36:01) Jules Lavisham: Keep an eye on the usual places, the GoMe Calendar and assorted other places
(11/30 22:36:20) Jules Lavisham: Any changes to the schedule, we'll make it known in good time
(11/30 22:36:24) judyg thumbs up
(11/30 22:36:39) Thumbs up from ALotOf
(11/30 22:36:46) Thumbs up from NoMore
(11/30 22:36:47) Jules Lavisham: Until we next meet, safe travels you lot.
(11/30 22:36:47) judyg claps her hands
(11/30 22:36:49) Charen Kura'quen: if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to head home early. If our friends are still having their meeting I ought to tell them about this, just in case.
(11/30 22:36:57) Robert Murry: Err, Stay safe folks.
(11/30 22:37:02) Charen Kura'quen: thank you for having me.
(11/30 22:37:06) Charen Kura'quen bows
(11/30 22:37:14) Tiernan Quinlan claps his hands
(11/30 22:37:14) ALotOf: have save travel, major
(11/30 22:37:27) Jules Lavisham: It's been wonderful having you with us, Kura'Quen
(11/30 22:37:27) Charen Kura'quen:
(11/30 22:37:31) Uncle Moe's Mo Rockin' Cafe: I found a pocket of air that Clint Eastwood left behind, after he crashed in a a plane off the coast of California and made a pocket of air with his armpit, using a ratcheting motion going on to save the pilot and himself by swimming miles back to shore. I'm hearing piano jazz in the air right now.
(11/30 22:37:32) Robert Murry: Goodbye Kura'quen
(11/30 22:37:35) ALotOf: *safe?*
(11/30 22:37:45) Charen Kura'quen: thanks, Jules.
(11/30 22:37:48) Jules Lavisham: Looking forward to the next time we get to pay Rei'schu a visit
(11/30 22:37:55) Charen Kura'quen: I'm looking forwards to it as well.
(11/30 22:38:02) Jules Lavisham: Stay in touch, let me know how you get on with those books
(11/30 22:38:08) Charen Kura'quen: Oh, absolutely.
(11/30 22:38:11) judyg: thank you guys for being here for us all. let me know if there's anything i can do to help.
(11/30 22:38:35) Jules Lavisham: We will, Judy
(11/30 22:38:36) Tiernan Quinlan smiles.
(11/30 22:38:41) Charen Kura'quen fumbles with the Relto book for a moment, trying to remember how to open the thing...
(11/30 22:38:44) Robert Murry nods his head
(11/30 22:39:26) Jules Lavisham leans against the podium, visibly deflated
(11/30 22:39:40) Robert Murry: I don't know about you two, but I'm headed to New Messenger's.
(11/30 22:39:55) NoMore: so you up to another round of teledahn tubbies?
(11/30 22:39:59) NoMore points
(11/30 22:40:02) Jules Lavisham: Yes.
(11/30 22:40:03) ALotOf says stop!
(11/30 22:40:06) Jules Lavisham: Yes, I am too.
(11/30 22:40:09) Tiernan Quinlan: Ach, I might head over there in a few.
(11/30 22:40:24) Tiernan Quinlan seems preoccupied and tired.
(11/30 22:40:27) ALotOf: no ; gotta work to do... disassemble some stuff you knoe. hehe
(11/30 22:40:34) Jules Lavisham: Yeah. Let me just nip to Relto
(11/30 22:40:37) Tiernan Quinlan: Maybe I could use a drink, actually.
(11/30 22:40:41) Robert Murry: First round's on me.
(11/30 22:40:42) Jules Lavisham: Tidy away notes, scream into the void,
(11/30 22:40:48) Jules Lavisham: that species of kidney.
(11/30 22:41:00) Robert Murry: Heh.
(11/30 22:41:04) Jules Lavisham: Catch you in the Pub in a quick few.
(11/30 22:41:07) Tiernan Quinlan: Aye. Sounds good. I'll meet y' there, guys.
(11/30 22:41:09) Robert Murry: Yeah.
