(04/17 11:31:58) Patrick Dulebohn grins
(04/17 11:32:01) IwonK: I have nooooooo idea, Murry
(04/17 11:32:04) Patrick Dulebohn: Although...that's almost complete.
(04/17 11:32:06) Claidi Song: oops, Shorah ondine
)(04/17 11:32:13) skyisblu leans right
(04/17 11:32:14) ondine leans left
(04/17 11:32:24) Calum Traveler: im sure ill be down there with you in a matter of days or weeks
(04/17 11:32:24) Murry: Hi Ondine

(04/17 11:32:40) Murry leans left
(04/17 11:32:41) ondine leans left
(04/17 11:32:43) Patrick Dulebohn: Which is good, because I need a break. Any more time down there and I'll turn into a mushroom or something.
(04/17 11:32:45) Calum Traveler leans left
(04/17 11:32:47) Murry leans right
(04/17 11:32:50) ondine leans right

(04/17 11:33:00) IwonK leans left
(04/17 11:33:01) Patrick Dulebohn: Quite well. They were a bit fickle at first, but the lower one is almost running smoothly...if a bit fast.
(04/17 11:33:03) Murry: Sorry. I'm out of practice.
(04/17 11:33:09) IwonK leans right
(04/17 11:33:09) ondine leans left
(04/17 11:33:15) Patrick Dulebohn: One has to grip the railing so as not to fly up into the ceiling!
(04/17 11:33:15) Calum Traveler: let's not tower-of-terror folks, patrick!
(04/17 11:33:23) Olorin: Is there another way to get coordinates in the City without creatin a marker game?
(04/17 11:33:32) ondine leans left
(04/17 11:33:38) skyisblu: Don't turn into a mushroom in here, we might confuse you with one of the local varieties
(04/17 11:33:38) Calum Traveler: no, Olorin, you gotta do the 14 calibration missions
(04/17 11:33:42) Patrick Dulebohn: Hello there ondine!
(04/17 11:33:49) ondine leans left
(04/17 11:33:53) Minasunda leans right
(04/17 11:33:56) Murry: Doobes has been keeping Robert and me busy with geological surveys.
(04/17 11:33:57) Claidi Song leans left
(04/17 11:34:02) ondine leans right
(04/17 11:34:16) Patrick Dulebohn: Indeed. Given all the damage we've seen, those are a must.
(04/17 11:34:21) skyisblu: Find anything good, Murry ?
(04/17 11:34:26) [PRIVATE] To Patrick Dulebohn: when you're ready to go about the speech, just let me know and ill turn on a camera to record
(04/17 11:34:33) Patrick Dulebohn: Last thing we need is a cave-in if we can help it.
(04/17 11:34:47) Claidi Song: Cave-in?
(04/17 11:34:52) Murry: Are long falls.
(04/17 11:34:55) [PRIVATE] From Patrick Dulebohn: Sure. It's still starting at 12:00, right?
(04/17 11:34:59) [PRIVATE] To Patrick Dulebohn: yes
(04/17 11:35:05) [PRIVATE] From Patrick Dulebohn: Kewl.
(04/17 11:35:10) IwonK: *sniff sniff*
(04/17 11:35:11) Murry: OR
(04/17 11:35:14) IwonK: nice smell
(04/17 11:35:25) Eternal Seeker: Shorah all
(04/17 11:35:33) Calum Traveler: shorah seeker
(04/17 11:35:34) Patrick Dulebohn: Well, one of the reasons the path hasn't been open yet is structural damage...including cave-ins that need to be cleared.
(04/17 11:35:37) ondine: Shorah ET
(04/17 11:35:40) Claidi Song: Yeah, like a forest and flowers and meadow
(04/17 11:35:56) Minasunda: hi ET
)(04/17 11:36:02) Calum Traveler: given recent events in Naybree i think i can say that a colapsing wall of rock is a serious thing to want to be careful around.
(04/17 11:36:08) Claidi Song: Shorah ET
)(04/17 11:36:37) Patrick Dulebohn: In any case, we've kept the elevators at the very top and bottom so nobody uses them just yet. Final checks and whatnot.
(04/17 11:36:47) Murry: So far the damage has been minimal along the route. Keep your fingers crossed.
(04/17 11:36:55) Eternal Seeker leans left
(04/17 11:36:57) ondine leans left
(04/17 11:36:57) Patrick Dulebohn: If all goes well, we'll be able to open up the entirety of the Great Shaft and some of the tunnels surrounding this summer.
(04/17 11:37:01) Eternal Seeker leans right
(04/17 11:37:14) Calum Traveler hums in agreement
(04/17 11:37:16) Calum Traveler: if all goes well.
(04/17 11:37:27) TOOO: Shorah everyone!

(04/17 11:37:37) Eternal Seeker leans left
(04/17 11:37:39) Patrick Dulebohn: I do caution that you bring a Linking Book with you if you intend to use the spiral path. Use it at your own risk!
(04/17 11:37:43) TOOO: is there a music stream?
(04/17 11:37:45) skyisblu: HI Starman850!!!
(04/17 11:37:46) Willy leans right
(04/17 11:37:53) Patrick Dulebohn: Just be careful. We're not as strict as the DRC, but we still value your safety!
(04/17 11:37:54) Calum Traveler: not yet, TOOO
(04/17 11:37:57) Olorin: I want to take risk and to the spiral path
(04/17 11:38:00) Minasunda: not yet - later
(04/17 11:38:01) Calum Traveler: babbel's classical is at 1300
(04/17 11:38:02) TOOO thanks you very much!
(04/17 11:38:11) Minasunda: 12:10 KI
(04/17 11:38:22) Patrick Dulebohn: We've cleared as much debris from it as we could to prevent potential tripping, but even so...tread carefully.
(04/17 11:38:33) ondine leans right
(04/17 11:38:38) Willy leans left
(04/17 11:38:45) Claidi Song: For those of you who may be confused, Patrick is talking about working on bring the Descent to MOULa so we can all walk all the way down, etc. He and Cal and Murry are talking as IC characters, right now
(04/17 11:38:54) Eternal Seeker leans right
(04/17 11:38:54) Claidi Song leans left
(04/17 11:38:56) TOOO:
(04/17 11:39:16) Olorin: I want to try to find that path, should be a fun adventure
(04/17 11:39:23) Claidi Song: Shorah TOOO
(04/17 11:39:26) TOOO: i think I'll hold off on exploring until the OFFICIAL opening.:0
(04/17 11:39:35) Calum Traveler: tis a 2 hour hike at full speed, the shaft,
(04/17 11:39:41) TOOO:
(04/17 11:39:42) Patrick Dulebohn: So yes, I know you all have been waiting ever-so-patiently for the path to D'ni to open...and bit by bit, we will do exactly that until it's completely open!
(04/17 11:39:42) Calum Traveler: im not exaggerating when i say that.
(04/17 11:39:53) skyisblu: 2 hours - better bring some snacks
(04/17 11:40:01) Calum Traveler: its even longer if you take it slower,
(04/17 11:40:08) Murry: Oh, how I have missed you, Prad. And your puns....
(04/17 11:40:10) Patrick Dulebohn: The Great Shaft has quite a bit of history behind it, so we're excited to open it up to further exploration.
(04/17 11:40:12) Claidi Song: But their may be short cuts, thankfully
(04/17 11:40:20) Calum Traveler: hence the elevators,
(04/17 11:40:38) Olorin: I want to walk all the way up to the Surface by foot
(04/17 11:40:39) skyisblu: I would still bring snacks
(04/17 11:40:42) Patrick Dulebohn: Yes, for those that don't want to do all that walking or running.
(04/17 11:40:43) Patrick Dulebohn grins
(04/17 11:40:46) Calum Traveler: now if only we can get them speeding at safe speeds, lol
(04/17 11:40:47) Olorin: I need to do more exercise
(04/17 11:40:49) TOOO: so, we're finally going to get the Shaft! (Sorry, couldn't resist)
(04/17 11:41:01) Murry: I don not recommend repelling. That was not fun.
(04/17 11:41:01) Calum Traveler: its fine, TOOO, we've heard all the puns
(04/17 11:41:03) Claidi Song: and I hope skydiving will be still possible
(04/17 11:41:04) Patrick Dulebohn: Too many easy jokes there, TOOO. Heh.
(04/17 11:41:19) TOOO:
(04/17 11:41:21) IwonK passes around funny cookies
(04/17 11:41:27) Calum Traveler: heck, even the old DRC notes are full of them...
(04/17 11:41:28) Patrick Dulebohn: I suppose we could just call it by its D'ni name to avoid the giggles.
(04/17 11:41:35) Claidi Song: Please, keep it fam friendly, tho
(04/17 11:41:39) Calum Traveler: regahro tiwah
(04/17 11:41:42) Calum Traveler: ...eh
(04/17 11:41:54) Calum Traveler: i dont think i can pull that off,
(04/17 11:42:07) Claidi Song: Tiwah, for short
(04/17 11:42:14) Patrick Dulebohn: Ah, but it's an opportunity to brush up on your D'ni.
(04/17 11:42:20) Murry: Yeah, I've missed this.
(04/17 11:42:26) Calum Traveler: but yeah, the jokes are as old as Descent is. we've heard 'em all.
(04/17 11:42:32) Calum Traveler: no need to rehash em lol
(04/17 11:42:35) Prad: wow that eder is huge... much to discover...
(04/17 11:42:37) TOOO: Lol
(04/17 11:42:39) Patrick Dulebohn: We could abbreviate it RT, but we've got an rTay in the community, so that'd just be confusing.
(04/17 11:42:41) Patrick Dulebohn laughs
(04/17 11:42:59) Calum Traveler: theres a reason i just keep sticking to "Descent"
(04/17 11:42:59) Claidi Song: ahhhh, yes lol
(04/17 11:43:11) Claidi Song: Me, too
(04/17 11:43:24) Patrick Dulebohn: Indeed. It's a nice code name for it that avoids some mischievous comments.
(04/17 11:43:24) Prad: the scent...?
(04/17 11:43:25) Patrick Dulebohn grins
(04/17 11:43:32) Prad:
(04/17 11:43:43) Claidi Song: It has been descented
(04/17 11:43:46) Patrick Dulebohn: Although when one is going from D'ni TO the surface...does it then become Ascent?
(04/17 11:43:49) Murry: So does anyone know any "descent" jokes?
(04/17 11:43:56) TOOO: It's a decent Sescent
(04/17 11:43:58) Prad: lol Patrick
(04/17 11:44:00) TOOO: Drat
(04/17 11:44:06) TOOO: It's a decent Descent
(04/17 11:44:14) Calum Traveler: im going to stick with Descent to avoid confusion
(04/17 11:44:16) Mir-o-Bot is linking to Ae'gura for at least 1.0 minute(s)... PM me "link" to follow me.
(04/17 11:44:18) Calum Traveler: mainly my own
(04/17 11:44:26) Minasunda: shorah Dulca
(04/17 11:44:32) Prad: so much about 'code name that avoids mischievous comments'...
(04/17 11:44:33) Calum Traveler hums a melody to the words "Ascend Descent Rise Up Abscond..."
(04/17 11:44:37) TOOO: Or, we could call it "Yahooooooooo....!"
(04/17 11:44:45) Olorin: so the Descent is only doable from Surface to D'ni?
(04/17 11:44:48) ondine: Shorah Dulca
)(04/17 11:45:03) Claidi Song: Shorah Dulca
)(04/17 11:45:04) TOOO: Shorah Dulcamara
(04/17 11:45:04) Calum Traveler: one day it may be traversable in reverse, but that day is not in the near future,
(04/17 11:45:07) Calum Traveler: shorah, Dulcamara!
(04/17 11:45:09) Patrick Dulebohn: All I know is that sometimes, the project feels like a Descent into madness. Heh.
(04/17 11:45:12) skyisblu: HI Dulcamara
(04/17 11:45:15) Murry: Shorah Dulca
(04/17 11:45:19) Patrick Dulebohn: Hi there, Dulca!

(04/17 11:45:51) Calum Traveler: i go with "Bah- van- ter"
(04/17 11:45:54) Claidi Song leans right
(04/17 11:46:00) Dulcamara: Nice to see so many people but hard to find the names in the list

(04/17 11:46:38) maluhia is stuffing IwonK's classical cookies in her mouth
(04/17 11:46:39) Calum Traveler: the rest seem to be scattered about the age :3
(04/17 11:46:40) Sestra: Shorah Babbel
)(04/17 11:47:01) IwonK: I can see most of you quite clearly
(04/17 11:47:25) TOOO: Shorah ametist"

(04/17 11:47:26) skyisblu: hi ametist'
(04/17 11:47:26) Olorin: you can't see me
(04/17 11:47:34) Calum Traveler gets out a camera and starts field checks...
