01/25 21:13:50) ShilohOBrien: shorah, folks!
(01/25 21:14:00) Cpt.Jericho: Hi Shiloh
(01/25 21:14:32) Calum Traveler: doing fine here,
(01/25 21:14:39) ShilohOBrien pulls a thermos of tea out of her jacket.
(01/25 21:14:41) Jules Lavisham: Shorah, all
(01/25 21:14:47) Calum Traveler: shorah jules
(01/25 21:14:53) Tiernan Quinlan: Shorah!
(01/25 21:15:04) Jules Lavisham: How're we all doing?
(01/25 21:15:26) ShilohOBrien: I'm surviving the week...for a given value of "survival".
(01/25 21:15:49) ShilohOBrien sips her tea
(01/25 21:15:55) Jules Lavisham: Survival is good.
(01/25 21:16:14) ShilohOBrien: And tea makes almost anything bearable.
(01/25 21:16:30) Jules Lavisham: Hah! Yes, quite so.
(01/25 21:16:58) Jules Lavisham: Made a point to visit my tea shop on the South Coast over the festive break.
(01/25 21:17:04) Calum Traveler:
(01/25 21:17:14) Calum Traveler: just dealing with headaches regarding many things.
(01/25 21:17:27) Jules Lavisham: Stock up on my Deckchair Dreaming, keep the seasonal insomnia at bay.
(01/25 21:17:30) ShilohOBrien: I've dropped so much money the the Spice and Tea Co...between the teas and the specialty spice blends.
(01/25 21:17:53) [BUDDIES] From Calum Traveler in Great Tree's(3) Hood: town hall in about 12 minutes,
(01/25 21:17:58) [BUDDIES] From Calum Traveler in Great Tree's(3) Hood: great tree (3) hood
(01/25 21:18:03) ShilohOBrien holds up her thermos.
(01/25 21:18:15) Jules Lavisham: I've been meaning to give them a try!
(01/25 21:18:21) ShilohOBrien: Got "Cider Spice Chai" in this one.
(01/25 21:18:28) Jules Lavisham: Although it's going to take a lot to drag me away from Bird & Blend
(01/25 21:18:45) Jules Lavisham: Oh, very nice
(01/25 21:18:56) ShilohOBrien: It's the only place I found that has true ceylon cinnamon.
(01/25 21:18:57) Jules Lavisham: Got a Mulled Cider one I'm working my way through
(01/25 21:19:32) ShilohOBrien: And their recipie cards are pretty fun. I've made their version of "slow cooker butter chicken" several times.
(01/25 21:19:37) [BUDDIES] To Buddies: Town Hall starting in 10 in the Great Tree (3) Hood
(01/25 21:19:49) ShilohOBrien: And the "maple bacon wrapped pork loin".
(01/25 21:20:27) Jules Lavisham: Oh my. Those sound incredible.
(01/25 21:20:29) ShilohOBrien: And now I'm making myself hungry.
(01/25 21:21:14) Jules Lavisham: Right right
(01/25 21:21:28) Jules Lavisham takes out his notes and does a quick flick through
(01/25 21:21:34) ShilohOBrien looks around for IwonK...I could use a cookie about now.
(01/25 21:22:00) Calum Traveler hands out a box of cookies,
(01/25 21:22:03) Jules Lavisham: Heh... coming up to about eight of these now...
(01/25 21:22:09) ShilohOBrien: Yay!!!!
(01/25 21:22:20) Calum Traveler: evening, robert,
(01/25 21:22:24) Calum Traveler: prads.
(01/25 21:22:27) Calum Traveler smiles
(01/25 21:22:30) Jules Lavisham: Hello there Rob!
(01/25 21:22:36) ShilohOBrien: Hi, Gerbil!
(01/25 21:22:37) Robert Murry: Shorah everone
(01/25 21:22:50) BatPrad: shorah all
(01/25 21:23:15) Tiernan Quinlan waves hello
(01/25 21:23:20) Jules Lavisham: Did everyone have a good festive break and New Years? Been the first time I've properly popped down this year so far.
(01/25 21:23:37) Jules Lavisham: Bit of a busy January.
(01/25 21:23:45) Calum Traveler: yes, very busy
(01/25 21:23:45) Tiernan Quinlan chuckles. "Aye, same."
(01/25 21:24:09) ALotOf: rollin' along ... the big things coming towards end of january here...
(01/25 21:24:11) Calum Traveler: naybree work mostly, but had family visiting this past weekend
(01/25 21:24:37) Robert Murry: I've been breaking in a new case of Scotch I received for Christmas.
(01/25 21:24:53) Calum Traveler: im going to try to focus more on the hood game rooms and overflow station once this beach business is sorted out.
(01/25 21:25:10) ShilohOBrien: I've been spinning some of the roving I got for Christmas. Is lovely!
(01/25 21:25:34) Jules Lavisham: Sounds good Cal. Looking forward to that, I already could do with a bit of a beach getaway.
(01/25 21:25:47) Robert Murry: I've also been doing a series a geological surveys for a special project that Doobes is working on.
(01/25 21:25:57) Jules Lavisham: Beaches on the coast in the UK are a bit too pebbley for my liking.
(01/25 21:26:43) Calum Traveler: brb for a moment... need to answer some messages...
(01/25 21:27:14) Jules Lavisham: Sounds fun, Rob. I myself was sent away over the break with a decanter of gin from Nkeiru, my head of dept.
(01/25 21:27:26) Tiernan Quinlan: Ah, Shiloh, you spin?
(01/25 21:27:49) ShilohOBrien: By the way, has anyone found anything that rYes, I do! And weave!
(01/25 21:28:04) Jules Lavisham: Told her how well it went down last time, so she insisted on a full glass decanter this time.
(01/25 21:28:31) ShilohOBrien: I've been looking for anything that resembles a textile works in the Cavern. Even if the D'ni source the fiber from the Ages, I find it hard to believe they didn't at least do the fine work in the Cavern!
(01/25 21:28:36) Jules Lavisham: Insisted I keep the bottle as well. Apparently fancy decanters are impossible to resell.
(01/25 21:28:43) Robert Murry: I've got to take you to the Gulf Coast of southern US sometime Jules. Sandy beahes, fruity drinks, Beautiful ... er, sights...
(01/25 21:29:03) Calum Traveler: aight, back
(01/25 21:29:17) Calum Traveler sets up a bowl of cherry jubilee Zandies candies...
(01/25 21:29:26) Jules Lavisham: Interesting notion, Shiloh. I have always wondered how the D'ni went about making their clothes.
(01/25 21:29:47) Jules Lavisham: Heh, sounds a treat Rob.
(01/25 21:29:57) ShilohOBrien: However they did it, from the extant examples in the Cavern, they're pretty darn durable!
(01/25 21:30:04) Jules Lavisham: Right, give that another couple of minutes...
(01/25 21:30:24) Finley Harlow waves hello
(01/25 21:30:26) ShilohOBrien: I know there's not much temperature variation in the Cavern, but the humidity...I'm in awe of how they've held up.

(01/25 21:30:30) Calum Traveler: 2:30 by my KI, jules,
(01/25 21:30:35) Jules Lavisham: Shorah Finley
(01/25 21:30:38) Calum Traveler: rules time?
(01/25 21:30:43) ALotOf: one can find good bunch of textiles in the ages...
(01/25 21:30:49) Jules Lavisham: Yes, I reckon so
(01/25 21:31:01) ALotOf: some rougher woven, some finer...
(01/25 21:31:09) Jules Lavisham: Shorah everybody, and welcome to the first Town Hall of 2023!
(01/25 21:31:18) ShilohOBrien: Yeah, but we have yet to find anything resembling machines for spinning or weaving. I want to know how they did it!
(01/25 21:31:27) BatPrad: Rules rulez
(01/25 21:31:38) Jules Lavisham: Hope you all had a good festive break and New Years and are suitably recovered for the year ahead
(01/25 21:32:03) Jules Lavisham: We'll start off as usual with the rules
(01/25 21:32:16) Jules Lavisham: No pressing the blue button,
(01/25 21:32:48) Jules Lavisham: Try to keep comments to a minimum when one of us is speaking,
(01/25 21:33:18) Jules Lavisham: and any issues that crop up, shoot a PM to Calum and we'll call on you if it needs to be addressed
(01/25 21:33:41) Jules Lavisham: Transcripts of tonight's TH will be posted to the Beneath forums as per usual
(01/25 21:34:00) Jules Lavisham: which you can find at dniexplorer.com/forum, underneath the Transcripts section
(01/25 21:34:24) Jules Lavisham: Right, all that being said, on we go!
(01/25 21:34:27) Calum Traveler: Now, speaking of that blue button...
(01/25 21:34:48) Jules Lavisham: Hahah, yes indeed
(01/25 21:34:49) Calum Traveler: right now it just does a bunch of D'ni garbled.
(01/25 21:35:05) Calum Traveler: we're looking into getting them to play an assortment of standarized welcome messages for new Explorers,
(01/25 21:35:23) Calum Traveler: Kelsei, Tyion, Jules, and Patrick have all submitted some takes for the project.
(01/25 21:35:53) Calum Traveler: these wouldn't change out every few months, but might be randomized per-hood, just for varriety
(01/25 21:36:16) ShilohOBrien raises a hand.
(01/25 21:36:21) Calum Traveler: yes, shiloh?
(01/25 21:36:33) ShilohOBrien: Can we submit suggestions? If so, how?
(01/25 21:36:50) Calum Traveler: for what the messages say?
(01/25 21:36:54) ShilohOBrien: Yep!
(01/25 21:37:25) Calum Traveler: i believe that's been refined down to a basic "Welcome to D'ni, here's how to get a KI and get around, and where to go to get more information"
(01/25 21:37:32) ShilohOBrien: Ok.
(01/25 21:37:49) Calum Traveler: general introductory stuff
(01/25 21:37:51) Jules Lavisham: Nothing that should be any surprise for us hardened veterans
(01/25 21:38:07) Jules Lavisham: But for anyone freshly down from the surface it should help orientate them a bit
(01/25 21:38:41) Calum Traveler: we'll also see about gettings other language tracks done as well, but we'll have to figure out a mechanism for selecting that audio specifically,
(01/25 21:39:37) Jules Lavisham: The podium in Kirel will continue to put out quarterly updates about ongoing news and restoration projects.
(01/25 21:39:43) Calum Traveler: as a whole, we're looking to ease some common complaints about how to orient new folks towards the community quicker,
(01/25 21:40:17) Calum Traveler: we're not sure what's going to pan out, or what even will work how we expect it to, but more info on that as it comes.
(01/25 21:41:01) Calum Traveler: one such task we're looking into, for example, is attempting to add a Great Zero link to the City Links page on the nexus,
(01/25 21:41:05) BatPrad: yeah not always easy to instruct newcomers... hoodies doing a great job on this as some kind of 'voluntary messengers'...
(01/25 21:41:14) Calum Traveler: rather than having it stuck entirely in personal links,
(01/25 21:41:34) Calum Traveler: but we're not sure if that will work or not
(01/25 21:41:38) Calum Traveler: the Nexus is... finnickey
(01/25 21:41:56) Calum Traveler: you saw how long it took us to get the GoMePub hooked up properly
(01/25 21:42:46) Calum Traveler: beyond that, we're glad to see new folks continuing to join us down here,
(01/25 21:43:11) Jules Lavisham: Yes, quite heartening to see. Word of mouth about our work here seems to be spreading.
(01/25 21:43:28) Calum Traveler: new age releases seem to always give a boost
(01/25 21:43:49) Jules Lavisham: Something that should be continuing as this year progresses.
(01/25 21:44:10) Calum Traveler: on that front... Bahvahnter seems to be recovering from its Butterfly overdose, I don't foresee any issues with a release in the next couple of months, but fingers crossed i didnt just jinx us
(01/25 21:44:46) ShilohOBrien cheer
(01/25 21:44:53) Calum Traveler: Semjay is working on an age that... we're still not quite sure of the name of? There's some conflicting opinions on the documents about it.
(01/25 21:45:02) Calum Traveler: more on that closer to its release.
(01/25 21:45:10) Hazado: Beautiful age though
(01/25 21:45:14) Calum Traveler: very beautiful
(01/25 21:45:25) Calum Traveler: Semjay's done great work on it
(01/25 21:45:29) Jules Lavisham nods
(01/25 21:45:32) Calum Traveler: im sure it's going to be a smash hit with the community
(01/25 21:45:51) Robert Murry: Iagree.
(01/25 21:46:17) Calum Traveler: Descent is continuing apace. Patrick's hopeful to get through some of the stability checks in the shaft in the coming months,
(01/25 21:46:24) Calum Traveler: i dont see it being a Q1 release,
(01/25 21:46:31) Calum Traveler: Q2 or Q3 maybe?
(01/25 21:46:32) Calum Traveler shrugs
(01/25 21:46:43) Calum Traveler: but that's still just the caldera-to-bottom stage of things,
(01/25 21:46:51) Robert Murry: There are some more tests.
(01/25 21:46:55) Calum Traveler: the full path down is full of twists and turns,
(01/25 21:47:01) Calum Traveler: and many more tests beyond that yet to be scheduled.
(01/25 21:47:18) Jules Lavisham: Yes, the Descent is very much a long-term project
(01/25 21:47:35) Calum Traveler: still, we're cautiously optimistic we'll see some movement on that front this year,
(01/25 21:47:48) Calum Traveler: the elevators, of course, are always the hardest things to get working.
(01/25 21:47:51) ALotOf: community has given great input of ideas on Descent...
(01/25 21:48:11) Jules Lavisham: Indeed, ALotOf.
(01/25 21:48:16) Calum Traveler smiles
(01/25 21:48:23) Calum Traveler: as for Naybree, as I teased a bit earlier
(01/25 21:48:34) Calum Traveler: work on the beach area is continuing apace,
(01/25 21:48:44) Calum Traveler: as always, the cliffs are a major concern,
(01/25 21:48:57) Calum Traveler: there's plenty of sharp places to fall from, as we saw last December,
(01/25 21:49:05) Robert Murry starts daydreaming of hula dancers...
(01/25 21:49:09) Calum Traveler: in a few critical places we're working to get safety nets in.
(01/25 21:49:10) Jules Lavisham grimaces at the memory
(01/25 21:49:20) Calum Traveler: i've gotten a shipment of those fancy nets skyscrapers use to catch folks if they fall
(01/25 21:49:36) Calum Traveler: hoping to have those fully installed by end of Q1,
(01/25 21:50:13) Calum Traveler: also, dont be surprised if the birds start dive bombing you,
(01/25 21:50:21) Calum Traveler: they've started becoming a bit swarmy with the work on the beach.
(01/25 21:50:37) Calum Traveler: hopefully we didn't disturb a nest or anything.
(01/25 21:51:06) Calum Traveler: finally,
(01/25 21:51:11) Calum Traveler: a bit of a public safety announcement
(01/25 21:51:32) Calum Traveler: as you know, the wood the 'chubby noodle tree' is fundamentally made out of is *rediculously* hard to cut through
(01/25 21:51:38) Calum Traveler: even at its thinnest and smallest,
(01/25 21:51:48) Calum Traveler: power tools required there, as Jules can attest to.
(01/25 21:52:09) Calum Traveler takes a moment
(01/25 21:52:26) Jules Lavisham: Quite so. Certainly beyond the abilities of my own toolset.
(01/25 21:52:28) Calum Traveler: we found the wrecked remnants of some power tools not belonging to the restoration lodged into one of the larger trunks in the back river area last night.
(01/25 21:52:49) Calum Traveler: someone seems to have been trying to cut their way through to the beach area, I think,
(01/25 21:53:01) Calum Traveler: and not had much success of it, given the damage to the equipment there.
(01/25 21:53:08) Mystlander raises eyebrows
(01/25 21:53:21) ShilohOBrien mutters "Play stupid games..."
(01/25 21:53:26) Calum Traveler: I'd like to advise folks to *please* be careful if they're taking power tools into their own hands in Naybree,
(01/25 21:53:38) Calum Traveler: the backlash to the equipment breaking on you could cause serious injury.
(01/25 21:53:58) Calum Traveler: especially with the thicker roots/branches/trunky tentacle things.
(01/25 21:54:19) BatPrad packs his jack-hammer away...

(01/25 21:54:41) Calum Traveler: on that note, I think I've covered all the stuff on my notes
(01/25 21:54:52) Calum Traveler hands the mic back over to Jules, metaphorically speaking
(01/25 21:55:03) Jules Lavisham: Right right,
(01/25 21:55:19) Jules Lavisham: little bit of news on the Rei'schu front,
(01/25 21:56:24) Jules Lavisham: We have begun the introduction of earth-based livestock to their age, as agreed upon in the first round of our diplomatic talks.
(01/25 21:57:09) Jules Lavisham: With the agreement of their Animal/Wildlife scholars, we've started bringing a small number of chickens over
(01/25 21:57:42) Jules Lavisham: animals that were chose for their similarity to a now extinct species of bird that were found in Rei'schu.
(01/25 21:57:50) ShilohOBrien: Please tell me they were quarantined first to make sure they don't have bird flu!
(01/25 21:57:58) Calum Traveler: we took precautions yes,
(01/25 21:58:02) Jules Lavisham: Absolutely, Shiloh.
(01/25 21:58:12) ShilohOBrien: Whew! Sorry! Kinda paranoid about that kinda thing.
(01/25 21:58:21) Finley Harlow flinches
(01/25 21:58:24) Jules Lavisham: No, as indeed are they, and us.
(01/25 21:59:03) Jules Lavisham: This is something that's being taken in gradual steps, with all necessary due dilligence applied.
(01/25 21:59:33) Jules Lavisham: Last thing we want is any Earth-based contagien to run amok in their biosphere
(01/25 21:59:39) Calum Traveler: or vice-versa
(01/25 21:59:50) Calum Traveler scratches back of head, an embarassed look on their face.
(01/25 21:59:57) Jules Lavisham: Mhm.
(01/25 21:59:59) ShilohOBrien sips her tea to calm herself.
(01/25 22:00:40) Tiernan Quinlan chuckles softly.
(01/25 22:01:01) Jules Lavisham: It's another reason we started with chickens in the first instance.
(01/25 22:01:13) Calum Traveler: small, fluffy things...
(01/25 22:01:25) Jules Lavisham: Easier to segregate from the wider eco-system.
(01/25 22:01:26) BatPrad: yummy
(01/25 22:01:43) Mystlander: Yes, but very nasty...
(01/25 22:01:46) Cpt.Jericho: Rabbits are also small and fluffy...
(01/25 22:02:08) ShilohOBrien: And they can dig and breed like....well rabbits.
(01/25 22:02:10) Calum Traveler: given the size of the local varient of Squirrels... id doubt theyd stay that way for long.
(01/25 22:02:44) Calum Traveler looks a bit pale, remembering some recent annecdote from Runa'mei...
(01/25 22:03:15) Jules Lavisham: In any case, we will proceed at the pace that Rei'schu's experts set. We're satisfied they know what they're doing in these matters.
(01/25 22:04:29) Jules Lavisham: Now, once I start bringing some of my locally-made sausages with me on the next trip, well...
(01/25 22:04:39) Calum Traveler: let's not get into a food war now.
(01/25 22:04:52) Jules Lavisham chuckles
(01/25 22:04:56) Calum Traveler: i think we're thoroughly outclassed on the scale front there.
(01/25 22:05:16) ShilohOBrien makes a note to bring her butter chicken down here to share.
(01/25 22:05:31) Jules Lavisham: Pork and leek though, Cal.
(01/25 22:05:34) Jules Lavisham grins
(01/25 22:05:34) Calum Traveler licks lips, feeling hungry all of a sudden...
(01/25 22:05:42) Jules Lavisham: Anyway!
(01/25 22:05:47) Calum Traveler: anyway! lol
(01/25 22:06:01) Jules Lavisham: Speaking of Rei'schu,
(01/25 22:06:03) Robert Murry: They did devour those ribs we cooked for them.
(01/25 22:06:31) Jules Lavisham: we've had another new arrival in recent days make the journey to our side of the link.
(01/25 22:06:40) Calum Traveler nods
(01/25 22:07:54) Jules Lavisham: Runa'mei, Rei'schu's resident Chezwyed Chen,
(01/25 22:08:04) Jules Lavisham: has concluded her most recent hunt
(01/25 22:08:05) Calum Traveler: wyrd, i think,
(01/25 22:08:34) Jules Lavisham: *checks* - quite right.
(01/25 22:08:59) Jules Lavisham: - and has arrived in D'ni on the hunt for this Crystal thief.
(01/25 22:09:05) ALotOf: wyrd, okay... weird...
(01/25 22:09:29) Calum Traveler: (it is a very similar pronounciation, lol)
(01/25 22:10:05) Mystlander: Chezwyed Chen, hmm... where is she staying?
(01/25 22:10:14) ALotOf: (let's not hope for phonetic misunderstandings lol)
(01/25 22:10:24) Calum Traveler: Runa'mei's staying with Kelsei right now, when she's not down here in D'ni or the ages,
(01/25 22:11:03) Mystlander nods
(01/25 22:11:10) Buddy: What is a Chezwyrd Chen?
(01/25 22:11:21) Calum Traveler: literally: "Chezahcen's Hunting Champion"
(01/25 22:11:36) Calum Traveler: Chez- Chezahcen, Wyrd - Hunting, Chen - Champion.
(01/25 22:11:44) Buddy: Thanks!
(01/25 22:11:48) Jules Lavisham: She'sAnd damned good at it, all.
(01/25 22:11:53) Calum Traveler nods
(01/25 22:12:00) Tiernan Quinlan nods.
(01/25 22:12:00) Jules Lavisham: *too,
(01/25 22:12:05) Calum Traveler: dark soul protag levels of fight capability.
(01/25 22:12:32) Calum Traveler: trust me, you don't want to see her let loose.
(01/25 22:12:42) Calum Traveler shudders faintly, at a distinct memory.
(01/25 22:13:05) Mystlander snickers
(01/25 22:13:09) Jules Lavisham: But not so much of a necessity on this side of the link, thankfully.
(01/25 22:13:19) Calum Traveler: thankfully, yes,
(01/25 22:13:28) Calum Traveler: I think she's seeing this as something of a vacation all things considered,
(01/25 22:13:48) Calum Traveler: admittedly, a working vacation, but still.
(01/25 22:14:08) BatPrad: hunting sure prominent part of her life - Prad told me the other day about his impression from the talk...
(01/25 22:14:29) Calum Traveler: it's something that's dominated her life from an early age, to hear her tell the story.
(01/25 22:14:52) Jules Lavisham: You may catch sight of her around and about the Cavern, I believe she was going about the City getting her KI calibrated.
(01/25 22:15:14) Calum Traveler: yep, apparently she's also taking the Journey Ages too, when she gets a moment
(01/25 22:15:27) Calum Traveler: last I heard she'd spent a whole day just in Eder Gira.
(01/25 22:15:35) ShilohOBrien: CAn't wait to hear her final opinion of Yeesha.
(01/25 22:15:53) Jules Lavisham: I think there is something of a formal welcoming in the works to properly introduce her to the community
(01/25 22:16:06) Calum Traveler: yes, Kelsei's wanting to get something of a welcome party together,
(01/25 22:16:20) Jules Lavisham: Let her see what a thoroughly lovely lot we are and all that jazz
(01/25 22:16:30) Mystlander: Maybe we could pit her against IwonK for a cookie baking event!:
(01/25 22:16:35) Calum Traveler starts to laugh
(01/25 22:16:49) Jules Lavisham: Hah!
(01/25 22:16:57) ShilohOBrien snickers.
(01/25 22:17:18) Calum Traveler: but anyways, yes, if you see her about, she's probably taking a break and doing fun-time things.
(01/25 22:18:03) Calum Traveler: say hi, and I'd think she'd probably make it known if she's working or not.
(01/25 22:18:19) Mystlander salutes
(01/25 22:18:37) Jules Lavisham: Grand stuff.

(01/25 22:18:49) Jules Lavisham: Right, let's see...
(01/25 22:19:08) Jules Lavisham: Ah yes. For the sake of covering all bases,
(01/25 22:19:29) Jules Lavisham: we've unfortunately had no word from Benavud since his leaving in December.
(01/25 22:19:36) Calum Traveler: i was going to ask if anyone had heard anything about Ben. I've been a tad out of the loop this month.
(01/25 22:20:01) Mystlander: No, just the note he sent to the GT Hood & Friends.
(01/25 22:20:26) Calum Traveler is hoping he's alright...
(01/25 22:20:29) Jules Lavisham: That's what I thought. Unfortunate business.
(01/25 22:21:17) Jules Lavisham: All we can do is hope that he's somewhere that he wants to be, and that he'll return when he's ready.
(01/25 22:21:29) Calum Traveler nods
(01/25 22:22:03) Calum Traveler: while we're on the subject of folks...
(01/25 22:22:09) Calum Traveler: hey, Tenny, how've things been with, ah,
(01/25 22:22:11) Calum Traveler: the whole...
(01/25 22:22:17) Calum Traveler motions hands faintly
(01/25 22:22:20) Calum Traveler: y'know. Logan thing.
(01/25 22:22:40) Tiernan Quinlan: Ah, well...
(01/25 22:22:41) Mystlander empathizes with Tenny
(01/25 22:22:47) Calum Traveler: sorry to put you on the spot... just...
(01/25 22:23:00) Tiernan Quinlan: No, not at all, Cal.
(01/25 22:24:05) Tiernan Quinlan: Well, Logan's out of the hospital, but he's in a recovery facility. He still has quite a bit of therapy he's working through.
(01/25 22:24:26) Calum Traveler nods in understanding
(01/25 22:24:27) Tiernan Quinlan: He does get to visit on weekends.
(01/25 22:25:14) Calum Traveler: thats good.
(01/25 22:25:31) Tiernan Quinlan: He's currently working on returning to school, once he's released.
(01/25 22:25:54) ALotOf: and do Rohrschach tests ... they're funny... "what do you see here?" - "evil" - "and here?" - "evil" - "lets try this one..." - "evil, evil, evil"
(01/25 22:26:04) Calum Traveler: good to have something to work on, id think.
(01/25 22:26:13) Jules Lavisham: Agreed.
(01/25 22:26:30) Tiernan Quinlan draws in a deep breath.
(01/25 22:26:47) Calum Traveler smiles at Tenny,
(01/25 22:26:51) Tiernan Quinlan: I'll be returning to the Cavern on a regular basis soon, I think.
(01/25 22:26:52) Mystlander throws Tenny a virtual hug
(01/25 22:27:03) Tiernan Quinlan: I don't know if Logan will, however.
(01/25 22:27:03) Jules Lavisham nods supportively
(01/25 22:27:16) Calum Traveler: understandable, that,
(01/25 22:27:24) Jules Lavisham: Mm.
(01/25 22:27:37) Calum Traveler: you take your time, alright?
(01/25 22:27:48) Calum Traveler: we've missed you down here
(01/25 22:27:54) Tiernan Quinlan nods. "Thank you, Cal."
(01/25 22:27:58) Calum Traveler hugs...
(01/25 22:28:00) Calum Traveler leans right
(01/25 22:28:06) Tiernan Quinlan leans left
(01/25 22:28:13) Tiernan Quinlan hugs
(01/25 22:29:03) Calum Traveler: as for Ami, I suppose she'll come back if she ever decides its worth it?
(01/25 22:29:16) Calum Traveler: i'd like to have some words with her eventually, if you could pass along the message?
(01/25 22:29:22) Calum Traveler: just, causal, no hard feelings.
(01/25 22:29:31) Calum Traveler: I understand she was in a bad place when she shoved me over.
(01/25 22:29:53) Tiernan Quinlan: She's spending time with her family, but sure, I'm sure she would appreciate that.
(01/25 22:30:02) Tiernan Quinlan smiles.
(01/25 22:30:07) Calum Traveler: hey, family time is best time
(01/25 22:30:35) Calum Traveler: no rush on that. whenever she's ready to talk, ill be ready to listen.
(01/25 22:31:05) Jules Lavisham nods
(01/25 22:31:19) Tiernan Quinlan: She's a sweet girl.
(01/25 22:31:24) Tiernan Quinlan smiles
(01/25 22:31:39) Tiernan Quinlan: I think she's happy.
(01/25 22:31:59) Calum Traveler: I'd be, if I'd gotten a friend out of a cult-like situation like that.
(01/25 22:32:45) Calum Traveler: on that note... is there anything else outstanding we haven't touched on, Jules?
(01/25 22:32:55) Buddy: Any more Cavern information to give us, or are we done.
(01/25 22:32:58) Jules Lavisham checks his notes
(01/25 22:33:10) Jules Lavisham: Nope, that's pretty much everything I had put together
(01/25 22:33:16) Calum Traveler: alright then,
(01/25 22:33:21) Buddy: Thanks all
(01/25 22:33:26) Calum Traveler: let's wrap this up, and I'm gonna go get some food, hah!
(01/25 22:33:41) BatPrad: some chicken wings
(01/25 22:33:51) Calum Traveler considers that...
(01/25 22:34:04) Jules Lavisham: Yes, I need to finish unpacking. Hoping to start putting myself about a bit more in the months to come
(01/25 22:34:13) ShilohOBrien: Thanks everyone! We need to have a potluck with these meetings!
(01/25 22:34:16) Jules Lavisham: Keep myself busy down here
(01/25 22:34:31) Calum Traveler: heh, next time we should just throw a party in the GoMePub
(01/25 22:34:34) Calum Traveler: get lots of catering
(01/25 22:34:40) ShilohOBrien: I'm down with that.
(01/25 22:34:43) Tiernan Quinlan chuckles
(01/25 22:34:54) Jules Lavisham: Heheh
(01/25 22:34:58) Mystlander: I have frozen fruit bars (coconut, pineapple & lime) if any one would like one...
(01/25 22:35:22) Calum Traveler: alright, thanks for coming, everyone,
(01/25 22:35:24) ShilohOBrien: On that note, gotta dash! See you all around.
(01/25 22:35:26) Calum Traveler: we'll see you next month
(01/25 22:35:30) Calum Traveler: or sooner,
(01/25 22:35:31) Buddy: May Runa can show us her chicken hunting skills!
(01/25 22:35:31) Mystlander waves hello
(01/25 22:35:32) Tiernan Quinlan waves goodbye
(01/25 22:35:33) Jules Lavisham: Yes, have a good rest of the day, all
(01/25 22:35:34) Calum Traveler: probably at the AGM lol
(01/25 22:35:36) Cpt.Jericho claps her hands
(01/25 22:35:36) Mystlander waves goodbye
(01/25 22:35:40) Calum Traveler: how'd it get to be so soon again...
(01/25 22:35:44) Jules Lavisham: See you all soon!
(01/25 22:35:48) Jules Lavisham waves goodbye
(01/25 22:35:49) Calum Traveler shakes head and motions for the relto book
(01/25 22:35:51) Calum Traveler: later, all
(01/25 22:35:51) Robert Murry: I have some sensors to check on.
(01/25 22:35:54) Calum Traveler: have a good night!
(01/25 22:36:17) Tiernan Quinlan: Good night all!
(01/25 22:36:17) BatPrad: gotta get on my J'okah hunt...
(01/25 22:36:18) Jules Lavisham: I'll certainly need to get my poker face back on if you're going to be back down again, Tenny
(01/25 22:36:27) Robert Murry: Good night.
(01/25 22:36:31) Tiernan Quinlan laughs
(01/25 22:36:41) Jules Lavisham: Night, Rob.
(01/25 22:36:48) ALotOf: good luck BatPrad... I'm gonna go back to my DOS things...
