(01/10 12:11:35) Kelsei A.T.: shorah, cpt.
(01/10 12:12:10) Kelsei A.T.: how are you?
(01/10 12:12:23) Cpt.Jericho: I'm Ok, thanks.
(01/10 12:12:28) Cpt.Jericho: How's you?
(01/10 12:12:48) Kelsei A.T.: a bit tired from the holidays, and work stress right after the new years
(01/10 12:13:03) Kelsei A.T.: better than Calum is doing these days, though. last I saw him he looked about dead on his feet!
(01/10 12:13:39) Cpt.Jericho: I know that look. Seen it often on TV.
(01/10 12:13:58) Kelsei A.T.: yes, unfortunately his holidays were a lot more stressful than mine,
(01/10 12:14:07) Kelsei A.T.: all i had to deal with was introducing Runa'mei to my parents!
(01/10 12:14:20) Kelsei A.T. shakes her head slightly.
(01/10 12:14:31) Kelsei A.T.: how my father and her got involved in an arm wrestling match, ill never know.
(01/10 12:15:16) Cpt.Jericho: Usually it's just a question of how much alcohol was inbibed.
(01/10 12:15:37) Kelsei A.T.: not very! it was rather early in the day.
(01/10 12:16:06) Kelsei A.T.: my father's not that much of a drinker period, but even on the holidays its an evening affair.
(01/10 12:16:37) Kelsei A.T. giggles
(01/10 12:16:51) Kelsei A.T.: still, the sight of him losing rather suddenly is a funny one. the look on his face...!
(01/10 12:17:08) Cpt.Jericho: Priceless, I guess
(01/10 12:17:15) Kelsei A.T.: he was rather bemused!
(01/10 12:17:39) Kelsei A.T.: "wait, what, did we say go?"
(01/10 12:17:56) Kelsei A.T. grins
(01/10 12:18:35) Cpt.Jericho: As long as it's all in good sport
(01/10 12:18:57) Kelsei A.T.: oh, we stopped them before it got past the friendly competition stage.
(01/10 12:19:15) Kelsei A.T.: My mother was quite afraid he'd break his arm!
(01/10 12:19:24) Cpt.Jericho: Reminds me of an old joke:
(01/10 12:19:30) Kelsei A.T.: not that Runa'mei would, but my father... oh...
(01/10 12:19:35) Kelsei A.T.: sometimes he can push himself.
(01/10 12:19:49) Cpt.Jericho: Finally, I found the right girl!
(01/10 12:20:02) Cpt.Jericho: She looks like my mum, talks like my mum...
(01/10 12:20:12) Cpt.Jericho: I introduced her to my father.
(01/10 12:20:18) Cpt.Jericho: He can't stand her.
(01/10 12:20:22) Kelsei A.T. roars with laughter
(01/10 12:21:00) Kelsei A.T.: fortunately they all got along rather well, and it didn't go quite as horribly as i'd feared.
(01/10 12:21:25) Kelsei A.T.: introducing friends or significant others to your parents is always a fraught time.
(01/10 12:21:39) Kelsei A.T.: especially at the holidays.
(01/10 12:21:57) Cpt.Jericho: Yeah, there is always an album with baby photos lingering in the dark...
(01/10 12:22:33) Kelsei A.T.: oh dear lord, i remember the time my cousin, Dawn, brought her highschool sweetheart over one year and... oh. the pictures. so many pictures.
(01/10 12:24:12) Kelsei A.T.: i could feel her embarrassment, radiating off of her, practically.
(01/10 12:24:56) Cpt.Jericho: That's how parents take revenge for sleepless nights.
(01/10 12:25:11) Cpt.Jericho: They make lots of evidence photos
(01/10 12:25:17) Kelsei A.T. smiles
(01/10 12:26:51) Cpt.Jericho: How's Runa's hunt going, btw. Any news about that Haru guy?
(01/10 12:27:24) Kelsei A.T.: nothing new on him directly, unfortunately. though i have my suspicions he's involved with those damned scientists we ran into.
(01/10 12:28:00) Kelsei A.T.: probably just one of a myriad number of 'backers'
(01/10 12:28:04) Cpt.Jericho: Possibly. I just hope it's not him powering my pods up.
(01/10 12:28:18) Kelsei A.T.: someone's messing with your Pods?
(01/10 12:28:22) Cpt.Jericho shrugs
(01/10 12:28:43) Cpt.Jericho: I shut them down when I leave. But sometimes they're on when I relink
(01/10 12:28:56) Kelsei A.T.: how strange
(01/10 12:29:05) Cpt.Jericho: Had that issue for a while now.
(01/10 12:29:27) Kelsei A.T.: im assuming you've checked your invite lists already?
(01/10 12:29:32) Cpt.Jericho: Yes
(01/10 12:29:58) Kelsei A.T.: if we're lucky, it's probably just a Bahro playing a prank,.
(01/10 12:30:02) Cpt.Jericho: I usually clear all invites after a while. And I haven't had people in my pods for years
(01/10 12:30:33) Kelsei A.T.: very strange.
(01/10 12:30:43) Cpt.Jericho: Yeah, probably the switch needs some love
(01/10 12:31:18) Kelsei A.T.: old d'ni tech, i wouldn't be surprised.
(01/10 12:32:50) Cpt.Jericho: Funny is however, the battery never ran out.
(01/10 12:33:09) Kelsei A.T.: very strange. almost like its turned on right before you linked in.
(01/10 12:33:12) Cpt.Jericho: Even after month between visits
(01/10 12:33:19) Cpt.Jericho: Yes
(01/10 12:33:44) Kelsei A.T. shrugs
(01/10 12:33:52) Kelsei A.T.: i have no idea what could cause that.
(01/10 12:34:25) Kelsei A.T.: i mean, tech isn't my department anyways,
(01/10 12:34:30) Cpt.Jericho: I don't think it's worth to think about it
(01/10 12:34:40) Kelsei A.T.: but even so, i've picked up a thing here or there. quite strange to ponder.
(01/10 12:34:47) Kelsei A.T.: probably a mystery we wont ever have a solution to.
(01/10 12:35:03) Cpt.Jericho: It's not like anyone could break anything in a pod
(01/10 12:35:19) Kelsei A.T.: depends on who you ask, id imagine.
(01/10 12:35:42) Kelsei A.T.: shorah, thoe
(01/10 12:35:50) Cpt.Jericho: Hello thoe
(01/10 12:35:56) thoekenem says hey
(01/10 12:36:33) Cpt.Jericho: I doubt anyone would take the trouble and sneak in several tons of TNT into a pod just to break it.
(01/10 12:36:37) thoekenem: shorah Kelsei
(01/10 12:36:48) Cpt.Jericho: Hello ES
(01/10 12:36:49) thoekenem: hello Cpt.J
(01/10 12:36:52) Eternal Seeker: Shorah all
(01/10 12:36:54) Kelsei A.T.: if they were desperate enough maybe.
(01/10 12:37:05) Kelsei A.T.: i think the windows are easier to pop out than needing explosives though
(01/10 12:37:07) Kelsei A.T.: shorah, seeker,
(01/10 12:37:10) thoekenem: shorah eternal seeker
(01/10 12:37:10) Eternal Seeker leans right
(01/10 12:37:16) thoekenem leans right
(01/10 12:37:17) Eternal Seeker leans left
(01/10 12:37:40) Cpt.Jericho: You sure? The windows in Tetsonot are submerged and don't break
(01/10 12:37:56) Kelsei A.T.: yes, well, that pod *was* designed to be under water to begin with though, wasn't it?
(01/10 12:38:22) Kelsei A.T.: Dereno, half submerged, also seems to have thicker reinforcements around the windows from the outside,
(01/10 12:38:27) Cpt.Jericho: Payiferen and Negilahn have megafauna to consider
(01/10 12:38:37) thoekenem: tetsonot does need some flex seal
(01/10 12:38:52) Kelsei A.T.: ugh, dont remind me. Tetsonot situations suck horribly.
(01/10 12:39:20) Cpt.Jericho: A couple of new lights would help there too
(01/10 12:39:23) Kelsei A.T.: as long as whatever powers those water pumps keep on pumping even with the damaged state, the less i dont have to think about it
(01/10 12:40:16) Cpt.Jericho: I always wondered where the air comes from?
(01/10 12:40:34) Cpt.Jericho: How's that replenished?
(01/10 12:40:53) Kelsei A.T.: yet more things id rather not think about.
(01/10 12:40:58) Kelsei A.T. looks dizzy just considering it
(01/10 12:41:29) Cpt.Jericho: Well, you don't have a cousin cruising the lake in a submarine.
(01/10 12:42:38) Kelsei A.T.: no, I don't think Dawn would work in a submarine, lol
(01/10 12:42:44) Kelsei A.T.: thank goodness for that,
(01/10 12:43:14) Kelsei A.T.: after that scare last year with that other submarine... I think I'd like to steer clear of high pressure sub-water environments, thank you very much.
(01/10 12:44:27) Cpt.Jericho: Calling that eggshell a submarine is like calling a paraglider and airplane
(01/10 12:44:35) IwonK: shorah everyone
(01/10 12:44:45) Cpt.Jericho: Hi Iwon
(01/10 12:45:29) Kelsei A.T.: hiwonk
(01/10 12:45:39) Eternal Seeker: Shorah Iwon
(01/10 12:45:39) Kelsei A.T.: also, yes, i agree, still terrifying towards my anxiety.
(01/10 12:45:52) Kelsei A.T.: Tetsonot always made me queasy, even when i was younger.
(01/10 12:46:16) thoekenem: hello IwonK
(01/10 12:46:40) Cpt.Jericho: There are worse death than being crushed in a split-second by water pressure.
(01/10 12:46:47) Kelsei A.T.: true.
(01/10 12:47:03) Kelsei A.T.: not something i'd like to put myself at risk of, however.
(01/10 12:47:18) Kelsei A.T.: shorah, Mina
(01/10 12:47:22) IwonK: that kind of death doesn't sound that bad, it's just *poof* and you don't feel anything
(01/10 12:47:30) Minasunda: shorah everyone
(01/10 12:47:36) IwonK: shorah Mina
(01/10 12:47:38) Cpt.Jericho: Hi Mina
(01/10 12:47:43) thoekenem: shorah minasunda
(01/10 12:48:08) Minasunda leans left
(01/10 12:48:08) thoekenem leans right
(01/10 12:48:17) Kelsei A.T.: still kind of terrifying. i think that's an anxiety worse than my stagefright.
(01/10 12:48:23) Cpt.Jericho: Yeah, Iwon, better than sitting in a boeing when a wall panel cracks loose in midair
(01/10 12:48:34) Kelsei A.T.: oh dear lord, that poor plane.
(01/10 12:48:39) Kelsei A.T.: atleast nobody got pulled out
(01/10 12:48:52) Cpt.Jericho: Because that seat was vacated
(01/10 12:49:01) Kelsei A.T.: indeed. what luck.
(01/10 12:49:13) Kelsei A.T.: won't catch me in an airplane if i can damn well help it.
(01/10 12:49:16) Kelsei A.T.: or a submarine.
(01/10 12:49:21) Kelsei A.T.: either at this point.
(01/10 12:50:10) Cpt.Jericho: With HALO gear, the plane would be too bad though
(01/10 12:50:38) Kelsei A.T.: on a lighter subject, i've been hearing some rumblings from Patrick the last few days about cracking open the Kirel Classroom and renovating it into an information hub.
(01/10 12:51:02) Cpt.Jericho: Good idea.
(01/10 12:51:35) Kelsei A.T.: it does strike me as a good place to get at things,
(01/10 12:51:40) Cpt.Jericho: I could throw in a few beartraps for wall decorations
(01/10 12:51:44) Kelsei A.T. roars with laughter
(01/10 12:55:44) Kelsei A.T.: maybe not bear traps, but some new banners might be nice...
(01/10 12:55:48) Kelsei A.T.: thinking on it, that is.
(01/10 12:57:54) Cpt.Jericho: Banners are fine too. You could make one with the image of a beartrap on it
(01/10 12:58:15) IwonK passes around bear-sized cookies
(01/10 12:59:33) Kelsei A.T. thanks iwonk for a cookie
(01/10 13:00:22) IwonK: just A cookie?
(01/10 13:00:29) IwonK: you can have more than one, Kels
(01/10 13:00:48) Kelsei A.T.: with how large this cookie is?
(01/10 13:00:55) Kelsei A.T.: one will do for now!
(01/10 13:01:11) IwonK: welllll... you might need a bigger cuppa tea for that one
(01/10 13:01:56) Kelsei A.T.: i hope everyone had good holidays?
(01/10 13:02:06) IwonK: hi Pod
(01/10 13:02:11) Kelsei A.T.: shorah, pod
(01/10 13:02:16) Minasunda: shorah Pod
(01/10 13:02:23) PodHopper: Shorah everyone
(01/10 13:02:31) Cpt.Jericho: Hi Pod
(01/10 13:02:42) PodHopper: have the luring cookies been deployed?
(01/10 13:02:51) thoekenem: hello podhopper
(01/10 13:03:00) PodHopper: hey thoe
(01/10 13:03:03) IwonK: even bear-sized ones!
(01/10 13:03:17) PodHopper:
(01/10 13:06:38) thoekenem: shorah Fil
(01/10 13:06:41) Cpt.Jericho: Hi Fil
(01/10 13:06:41) IwonK: shoraaaaaaaaaaaah Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil
(01/10 13:06:42) Kelsei A.T.: shorah fil!
(01/10 13:06:42) Minasunda: shorah Fil
)(01/10 13:06:47) PodHopper: Shorah Fil
(01/10 13:07:06) Fil needs a moment to breathe!
(01/10 13:07:42) Fil waves hello
