(04/26 21:15:08) Jules Lavisham waves hello
(04/26 21:15:21) Jules Lavisham: Shorah, all.
(04/26 21:15:21) Calum Traveler: hey, jules
(04/26 21:15:36) Calum Traveler offers an icecream sandwich
(04/26 21:15:57) Schiavona: Shorah, everyone
(04/26 21:15:58) Jules Lavisham: Oh, thank you!
(04/26 21:16:05) Calum Traveler: shorah, Schiavona
(04/26 21:16:16) Jules Lavisham accepts and takes an enthusiastic chomp
(04/26 21:16:41) Jules Lavisham: Sugar levels are a bit low today, this hits the spot nicely.
(04/26 21:16:43) NoMore shudders imagining the freeze shock...
(04/26 21:16:46) Calum Traveler: i thought so too
(04/26 21:16:55) Calum Traveler: makes for a good holdover until dinner for me
(04/26 21:17:02) Calum Traveler: i've got a Mysterium meeting tonight too,
(04/26 21:17:14) Jules Lavisham: Heh. How's the stage?
(04/26 21:17:20) Calum Traveler: needs some work
(04/26 21:17:27) Calum Traveler: we've had a few feedback reports sofar
(04/26 21:17:38) Calum Traveler: some good things that'll need looking at
(04/26 21:17:45) Calum Traveler: bit easy to get trapped behind the map
(04/26 21:17:52) Calum Traveler: not sure how we missed that in the setup phase
(04/26 21:18:03) Jules Lavisham: Ah
(04/26 21:18:08) Calum Traveler: gonna be good to get a trial run of it here before we take it down for some work, atleast
(04/26 21:18:22) Calum Traveler: and there's a lot of work.
(04/26 21:18:26) Calum Traveler: not just here, lol
(04/26 21:18:46) Jules Lavisham: I see. So, we're here just for this month then?
(04/26 21:18:49) Calum Traveler: yeah
(04/26 21:18:53) Calum Traveler: atleast just for,
(04/26 21:19:08) Calum Traveler: i mean
(04/26 21:19:14) ALotOf: RFD broadcasting from map top still - they'd be lucky not to accidentally get trapped in that area...
(04/26 21:19:38) NoMore getting out the pixel hammer and chisel for trapped explorers...
(04/26 21:19:42) Calum Traveler: i would've thought theyd use the stage. one bit of feebdack i got from them was that it was a weird angle
(04/26 21:19:48) Calum Traveler shrugs
(04/26 21:20:01) Calum Traveler: anyways, yeah, we'll work on that trap spot
(04/26 21:20:04) Calum Traveler: dont want folks getting stuck
(04/26 21:20:25) Jules Lavisham: Got it. Provided we keep people in the know so they aren't here when they're supposed to be in the hood.
(04/26 21:20:30) Calum Traveler: yep,
(04/26 21:21:25) Calum Traveler: honestly, i dont know if the banisters are even really necessary?
(04/26 21:21:51) Jules Lavisham squints at them
(04/26 21:22:26) Jules Lavisham: I mean, I certainly wouldn't fear for my safety if we were to go without them.
(04/26 21:22:39) Calum Traveler taps KI...
(04/26 21:22:42) NoMore: the banisters are there for banter about them...
(04/26 21:23:04) Calum Traveler: heh
(04/26 21:23:04) Jules Lavisham: You lot aren't harboring plans to swarm the stage, are you?
(04/26 21:23:05) Robert Murry: Shorah
(04/26 21:23:17) Schiavona: Not at the moment.
(04/26 21:23:24) Calum Traveler: we've done without so far
(04/26 21:23:32) Jules Lavisham: Shorah, Rob!
(04/26 21:23:38) NoMore: yeah, there are plans - but not at the moment... haha...
(04/26 21:23:38) Calum Traveler: they seem to be the main focus of ire amongst the complaints,
(04/26 21:23:44) Schiavona: Shorah, Rob!
(04/26 21:23:50) Calum Traveler: reasonable as they are,
(04/26 21:24:44) Jules Lavisham: I think we can rely on people in attendance to know what a respectable distance should be.
(04/26 21:24:47) Calum Traveler: im going to do a quick check and ensure nobodys gone to the hood
(04/26 21:25:00) Jules Lavisham: Righto Cal
(04/26 21:25:47) Jules Lavisham sets out his notes on the podium and gives them a flick through
(04/26 21:26:08) Jules Lavisham takes another bite out of his ice cream sandwich
(04/26 21:26:26) Robert Murry: Apologies from Murry. He's finishing up some tests for me.
(04/26 21:26:59) Calum Traveler: didnt see anyone in the nexus listing for the hood
(04/26 21:27:01) Jules Lavisham: No problem, Rob. I got your message earlier, I'll make sure it gets a mention.
(04/26 21:27:11) Calum Traveler: i did just get a call on my way back though
(04/26 21:27:14) Robert Murry: Thanks Jules.
(04/26 21:27:17) Calum Traveler: my new glasses are ready XD
(04/26 21:27:22) Calum Traveler: i guess i know what im doing tonight
(04/26 21:27:30) Calum Traveler: after the town hall, that is
(04/26 21:27:38) Jules Lavisham: Excellent news, Cal
(04/26 21:27:39) Calum Traveler: and for dinner
(04/26 21:27:48) ALotOf: sounds like a plan
(04/26 21:28:01) Calum Traveler: yeah, these old ones have gotten a bit out of date
(04/26 21:28:01) Jules Lavisham blinks
(04/26 21:28:04) Calum Traveler: by a few years lol
(04/26 21:28:09) Jules Lavisham: Oooof
(04/26 21:28:14) Jules Lavisham: Hello, brain freeze
(04/26 21:28:22) Schiavona: Oh, that's going to be an interesting adjustment period
(04/26 21:28:24) Jules Lavisham: Welcome to the soiree
(04/26 21:28:26) Calum Traveler: dont do what i do and chug em down.
(04/26 21:28:47) NoMore: (brain freeze - I knew it - goosebumps)...
(04/26 21:28:51) Calum Traveler: my jaw and head hate me for it for a few good minutes
(04/26 21:29:10) Jules Lavisham shakes his head

(04/26 21:29:24) Calum Traveler: anyways! it's now almost 14:30
(04/26 21:29:41) Calum Traveler: i think we're good to start?
(04/26 21:29:56) Jules Lavisham: Yes! Hopefully nobody heads to the Hood
(04/26 21:30:13) Calum Traveler: ill keep an eye on my buddies
(04/26 21:30:21) Calum Traveler: but r/n everyone is here!
(04/26 21:30:30) Jules Lavisham: Righty ho
(04/26 21:30:50) Jules Lavisham: Shorah everyone! Welcome to this month's town hall
(04/26 21:31:26) Jules Lavisham: As you may have heard, the set up here is a little bit fraught with varying issues at present,
(04/26 21:31:48) Calum Traveler: we'll be taking it down in a few days at the end of the month to start work on reconfiguring things a bit.
(04/26 21:32:10) Calum Traveler: then it'll be back, much improved, and hopefully not a foot-trap.
(04/26 21:32:30) Calum Traveler: we'll default to the Great Tree (3) hood until then, as per usual.
(04/26 21:32:31) ALotOf: alright, back to the tokotah rooftop with the equipment then, I think...
(04/26 21:32:39) Calum Traveler: yes, lol
(04/26 21:32:48) Jules Lavisham: Heh.
(04/26 21:33:03) Jules Lavisham: Oh, Cal, are you logging?
(04/26 21:33:05) Calum Traveler: i am
(04/26 21:33:08) Calum Traveler: are you?
(04/26 21:33:20) Jules Lavisham: Yes. Think so, anyway.
(04/26 21:33:22) Calum Traveler: i can send you the log after,
(04/26 21:33:24) Jules Lavisham grins
(04/26 21:33:28) Jules Lavisham: Good show.
(04/26 21:33:33) Jules Lavisham: Right right!
(04/26 21:33:44) Jules Lavisham: Quick run through of the rules:
(04/26 21:34:05) Calum Traveler: can skip the blue button this week.
(04/26 21:34:15) Jules Lavisham: Haha, quite so
(04/26 21:34:15) NoMore: lol
(04/26 21:34:34) Jules Lavisham: Comments are certainly not discouraged, we're all about that open dialogue,
(04/26 21:35:00) Jules Lavisham: but if you fancy tabling a specific subject or you have any issues to raise,
(04/26 21:35:25) Jules Lavisham: shoot a PM to Cal in the first instance and we'll raise it.
(04/26 21:35:27) Calum Traveler raises hand
(04/26 21:35:38) Calum Traveler: that me
(04/26 21:35:52) Jules Lavisham gestures with his thumb
(04/26 21:35:57) Jules Lavisham: That's 'im.
(04/26 21:36:11) Calum Traveler: alright, shall we get on with the stuff folks have probably seen first?
(04/26 21:36:11) Jules Lavisham: Right, as usual,
(04/26 21:36:24) Cindi Dani: Shorah bonsoir all
(04/26 21:36:32) Calum Traveler: shorah, cindi, we're by the stage at the tokotah tent.
(04/26 21:36:38) Buddy: Shorah!
(04/26 21:36:38) Jules Lavisham: transcripts of tonight's Town Hall will be posted to the Beneath forums
(04/26 21:36:39) Robert Murry: Cindi
(04/26 21:36:47) Robert Murry: Shorah Cindi
(04/26 21:36:47) Thumbs up from Cindi Dani
(04/26 21:36:51) Cindi Dani: brb
(04/26 21:37:02) Jules Lavisham: which can be found at dniexplorer.com/forum in the Transcript section
(04/26 21:37:24) Jules Lavisham: Right. All good? On we go!
(04/26 21:37:34) Calum Traveler: first up, existing Age News
(04/26 21:38:11) Jules Lavisham: Yes
(04/26 21:38:26) Calum Traveler: the D'ni Neighborhood Elonin has had a room unlocked, and you can find nice relaxing place in it.
(04/26 21:38:42) Jules Lavisham: Specifically the age of Eder Bahvahnter
(04/26 21:38:46) Calum Traveler: you an also find, in a different room with another door, a linking book to the age of-
(04/26 21:38:49) Calum Traveler grins
(04/26 21:39:14) Jules Lavisham: Heh
(04/26 21:39:16) ondine waves goodbye
(04/26 21:39:20) Calum Traveler: later ondine.
(04/26 21:39:29) ondine thanks you
(04/26 21:39:39) NoMore: seeya
(04/26 21:39:42) Jules Lavisham: Yes, this was opened up several weeks ago,
(04/26 21:39:45) NoMore: oops
(04/26 21:40:00) Calum Traveler: something of a stealth drop, with an official opening ceremony later on,
(04/26 21:40:08) Calum Traveler: i think ive seen a few of you there
(04/26 21:40:26) Jules Lavisham: Yes, quite a jolly opening ceremony that.
(04/26 21:40:42) ALotOf: some of our best buds were there too...
(04/26 21:40:57) Jules Lavisham: Actually my first classical music session after, which was thoroughly enjoyable and comes heartily recommended.
(04/26 21:41:09) Calum Traveler: It's a very nice Garden Age, with a quaint backstory. You can find out more info about that there in the age via a specific journal.
(04/26 21:41:19) Calum Traveler: Babbel does awesome arrangements
(04/26 21:41:57) Jules Lavisham: Now, we have received some reports from the age of a - let me see...
(04/26 21:42:05) Calum Traveler: water leak
(04/26 21:42:12) Jules Lavisham: ah yes, a suspected water leak, thank you Cal.
(04/26 21:42:32) Jules Lavisham: Yes, we think the source is a broken pipe beneath one of the floors.
(04/26 21:42:34) Calum Traveler: we should have that sorted out once we get a contractor in there to poke at the wet areas,
(04/26 21:43:06) Calum Traveler: Bahvahnter, like Elonin, was restored by the duo-team of ametist and Dulcamara,
(04/26 21:43:27) ALotOf: counting the aqueduct(s) in that age no wonder this would happen once...
(04/26 21:43:45) Calum Traveler: they've done great work, and the rest of the age, tahnkfully, is blissfully dry where there isnt an active stream or pond.
(04/26 21:44:09) Buddy: Yes, it's beautiful.
(04/26 21:44:09) Schiavona: Guess I won't need to pack extra socks in the forseeable future.
(04/26 21:44:18) Calum Traveler: the pond is great for a swim though
(04/26 21:44:37) Calum Traveler: home to a particularly shy frog, too...
(04/26 21:44:48) Buddy: Did we settle on a name for the frog?
(04/26 21:44:49) NoMore: Lillyfrog
(04/26 21:44:52) Jules Lavisham chuckles
(04/26 21:45:24) Jules Lavisham: Actually that's a good point, was a name decided Cal?
(04/26 21:45:35) Calum Traveler shrugs
(04/26 21:45:41) Calum Traveler: i had to leave early for dinner
(04/26 21:46:12) Calum Traveler: i suspect, much like Tiami or the Tiam ball... settling a name will take some time to engrain into the community consensus.
(04/26 21:46:16) Cindi Dani: any problem w Froggies huh?
(04/26 21:46:24) Calum Traveler: oh, no, theyre very nice frogs.
(04/26 21:46:29) Calum Traveler: just shy.
(04/26 21:46:40) Calum Traveler: probably not used to big stompy humanoids in their garden anymore.
(04/26 21:46:41) Jules Lavisham: Well, I'd say we throw it open to some knd of poll,
(04/26 21:46:58) Jules Lavisham: but bearing in mind this is how the world got Boaty McBoatface...
(04/26 21:47:06) Calum Traveler: yes, well
(04/26 21:47:06) Jules Lavisham shudders
(04/26 21:47:06) Buddy: LOL
(04/26 21:47:10) Calum Traveler rolls eyes
(04/26 21:47:22) Jules Lavisham: I think humanity in general has lost it's naming privileges for the forseeable
(04/26 21:47:32) Calum Traveler: names are hard
(04/26 21:47:44) Robert Murry: Perhaps a vote at the next AGM is in order.
(04/26 21:47:58) Calum Traveler: for example, naybree's 'chubby noodle trees'
(04/26 21:48:05) Cindi Dani: lol
(04/26 21:48:09) NoMore: lol
(04/26 21:48:11) Calum Traveler: we were going for something more scientific, but then Briggs named them such, and it stuck.
(04/26 21:48:38) Calum Traveler: speaking of Naybree, though...
(04/26 21:48:44) Calum Traveler: as you've probably seen, and felt, and *heard*
(04/26 21:48:56) Calum Traveler: the seismic activity I was wary of finally hit a tipping point,
(04/26 21:49:09) Cindi Dani: ho ho
(04/26 21:49:23) Calum Traveler: somebody with a chainsaw was doing work on a root while our work crew was installing new fencing
(04/26 21:49:25) Calum Traveler: the chain broke
(04/26 21:49:28) Calum Traveler: hit the wall
(04/26 21:49:30) Calum Traveler: and... Boom.
(04/26 21:49:47) Calum Traveler: you can see remnants of the collapse now blocking the back river. we'll be working to clean that out once things stabilize a bit.
(04/26 21:50:00) ALotOf: Did he have root privileges to do so... ?
(04/26 21:50:04) Calum Traveler: nope,
(04/26 21:50:08) Calum Traveler: we dont know who the guy even was.
(04/26 21:50:19) Calum Traveler: but he seems to have left his journal in a bit of an understandable hurry.
(04/26 21:50:26) Schiavona: That's a bit disconcerting.
(04/26 21:50:32) Jules Lavisham: Jammed into the middle of the root, no less.
(04/26 21:51:13) Robert Murry: Jules and I suspect we know who hired this person...
(04/26 21:51:15) Buddy: Yes, saw it in the back area.
(04/26 21:52:01) Calum Traveler: mhm, we have good reason to suspect that the culprit is involved with the person who distributed a stolen Rei'schu crystal to Dt. Harry Williams back in December.
(04/26 21:52:10) Calum Traveler: but they're just hunches so far.
(04/26 21:52:14) NoMore: oh
(04/26 21:52:24) Jules Lavisham: Definitely something to be going on with.
(04/26 21:52:39) Calum Traveler: the pointed use of a Rei'schuian name within the journal seems to indicate some kind of connection, though.
(04/26 21:52:43) Calum Traveler: but it could just be coincidence.
(04/26 21:52:58) Robert Murry: I don't think soo.
(04/26 21:53:05) Calum Traveler: we've got our eyes open, and Runa'mei is aware.
(04/26 21:53:32) Jules Lavisham: Something we'll be endeavouring to get to the bottom of.
(04/26 21:53:37) Calum Traveler: also, speaking of journals, we finally found Ami's journal.
(04/26 21:53:54) Calum Traveler: she dropped it back in December. turns out it got lodged into a small gap on one of the ledges right below that whole altercation.
(04/26 21:54:04) Jules Lavisham: Yes, we came across it whilst doing a stress testing of the safety netting.
(04/26 21:54:15) ALotOf: It must have fallen from the rocks during the quakes, that Ami journal,,,
(04/26 21:54:41) Cindi Dani: Ami= Amethyst?
(04/26 21:54:41) Calum Traveler: I did send her a message about it. She's already started a new one, apparently, so she's not too eager to get it back.
(04/26 21:54:54) Calum Traveler: no, a different person,
(04/26 21:55:18) Cindi Dani thanks you
(04/26 21:55:28) Jules Lavisham: I can imagine she may be wanting to move on from all of that business.
(04/26 21:55:49) Calum Traveler: she did mention to me she wanted to leave it somewhere incase things went wrong...
(04/26 21:56:05) Calum Traveler: just another misplaced book finding its home in the world, i guess.
(04/26 21:56:06) Calum Traveler shrugs
(04/26 21:56:28) Jules Lavisham: It's there until we hear different from her.
(04/26 21:56:33) Calum Traveler: mhm
(04/26 21:56:52) Jules Lavisham: Right, think that was everything on Naybree Cal?
(04/26 21:56:55) Calum Traveler: that's it on my note stack.
(04/26 21:57:07) Jules Lavisham: Outside of general "watch your step" sentiments?
(04/26 21:57:10) Calum Traveler: yes
(04/26 21:57:16) Calum Traveler: please stay off the top of the cliffs for the time being
(04/26 21:57:26) Calum Traveler: i know folks like being up there, but for now, just wait for the quaking to settle
(04/26 21:57:49) Jules Lavisham: Yes, we've already had one person take a bad step, we don't need any more.

(04/26 21:58:23) Jules Lavisham: Now then, now then.
(04/26 21:58:27) Althea waves hello
(04/26 21:58:30) Calum Traveler checks notes, finds a "Let Jules talk about Upcoming stuff" card, and lets Jules ahve at it
(04/26 21:58:33) Calum Traveler: shorah, Althea
(04/26 21:58:42) Cindi Dani waves hello
(04/26 21:59:14) Jules Lavisham: Robert, I've got your note here about you and Murry's recent work
(04/26 21:59:24) Robert Murry: Yes.
(04/26 21:59:30) Jules Lavisham: I understand you've both been doing some work for Patrick recently?
(04/26 22:00:03) Robert Murry: We have. We've been doing Geological surveys in Descent
(04/26 22:00:21) Calum Traveler: i think i saw one of those. things looking stable?
(04/26 22:00:49) Robert Murry: From the Cleft, to the Caldera, to the the great Shaft itself. Looks solid and stable.
(04/26 22:01:04) Jules Lavisham: Excellent! That's good news indeed.
(04/26 22:01:11) ALotOf: Descent has existed for long enough that it could be considered sufficiently stable...
(04/26 22:01:19) Robert Murry: Patrick is working on the elevators as we speak.
(04/26 22:01:36) Robert Murry: Might open a portion of it soon.
(04/26 22:01:41) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler
(04/26 22:01:42) NoMore: a bit rusty rails, I guess...
(04/26 22:02:00) Calum Traveler: im sure a lot of folks will be eager to see it
(04/26 22:02:02) Robert Murry: They did squeal a lot.
(04/26 22:02:17) Calum Traveler: sure that wasn't a Bahro being startled?
(04/26 22:02:21) Jules Lavisham: Bit of WD40. Fixes everything.
(04/26 22:02:31) Cindi Dani: lol
(04/26 22:03:00) Robert Murry: There have been some fascinating finds. We hope to start looking in the network of tunnels next.
(04/26 22:03:17) Calum Traveler: im looking forwards to what comes beyond
(04/26 22:03:30) Buddy: Me too!!!
(04/26 22:03:42) Schiavona: I'm so excited I can't find my words.
(04/26 22:03:46) Jules Lavisham: Yes, likewise. One step closer for the full route to be opened up from the surface to the City.
(04/26 22:04:03) Calum Traveler: speaking of things being opened...
(04/26 22:04:11) Calum Traveler: i believe we have an upcoming Age Release?
(04/26 22:04:17) Robert Murry: Once the eleavators are fixed, explorers will have the choice to walk down the shaft or take the lifts.
(04/26 22:04:40) Calum Traveler: id recommend the elevators. its a two hour hike on foot, or longer,
(04/26 22:04:49) Buddy: I hear that it's a 2 hour walk... is that true?
(04/26 22:04:50) Jules Lavisham: I *am* overdue some proper Cardio
(04/26 22:04:51) Cindi Dani: 4 sure
(04/26 22:04:54) Calum Traveler: i did it myself
(04/26 22:05:07) Calum Traveler: it very much is two hours at a decent pace
(04/26 22:05:13) Calum Traveler: if you go slower itll probably be longer
(04/26 22:05:25) Cindi Dani: lol
(04/26 22:05:32) Schiavona: I can feel the burn already.
(04/26 22:05:32) Calum Traveler: it is worth it from a sheer spectacle exercise, but...
(04/26 22:05:34) Calum Traveler: yeaaaaah.
(04/26 22:05:41) Calum Traveler: elevators are there for accessability reasons
(04/26 22:05:41) Jules Lavisham: Basically, queue up some podcasts.
(04/26 22:05:48) Calum Traveler: not everyone can make that hike nor will want to.
(04/26 22:05:49) Althea: I smell a new marker game...
(04/26 22:05:57) Robert Murry: It is an awsome sight.
(04/26 22:05:57) NoMore: just need the right soundtrack (2 hours concert) and off you go the long hike...
(04/26 22:06:04) Calum Traveler: i look forwards to seeing the strings of markers in Descent,
(04/26 22:06:11) Calum Traveler: it'll be *something*
(04/26 22:06:31) Jules Lavisham nods
(04/26 22:06:32) Robert Murry: Just have your Relto book handy, just in case.
(04/26 22:06:44) Jules Lavisham: Yes. That *is* a bit of a drop.
(04/26 22:06:48) Jules Lavisham: To put it mildly.
(04/26 22:06:57) Calum Traveler: skydivers will be happy, im sure
(04/26 22:07:16) Robert Murry: Of course Patrick fixes the elevators after our surveys are done.
(04/26 22:07:38) Jules Lavisham: Can't make things *too* easy for you now, can we Rob
(04/26 22:07:52) Calum Traveler frowns, wondering where some friends who would enjoy climbing in Descent have been in recent months...
(04/26 22:07:54) Robert Murry: I suppose not, Juels.
(04/26 22:08:34) Jules Lavisham: Well, keep us posted with what you turn up.
(04/26 22:08:41) Robert Murry: Will do.
(04/26 22:08:53) Jules Lavisham: And watch your step down there, as you say.
(04/26 22:09:11) Robert Murry: Very funny, Jules.
(04/26 22:09:35) Jules Lavisham: Okay,
(04/26 22:09:51) Jules Lavisham: as Cal said a moment ago,
(04/26 22:10:12) Jules Lavisham: we do indeed have another newly restored Age lined up for iminent release
(04/26 22:10:26) Buddy: Yes!!!
(04/26 22:10:30) Jules Lavisham: *extremely* iminent, as it happens.
(04/26 22:10:38) Robert Murry: This one I love.
(04/26 22:10:49) Jules Lavisham: Specifically, the age of Kalamee,
(04/26 22:11:11) Jules Lavisham: which begun as an official DRC restoration project,
(04/26 22:11:11) Buddy: I hear that it is also beautiful!
(04/26 22:11:16) Calum Traveler: it is
(04/26 22:11:28) Robert Murry: Very exotic.
(04/26 22:11:30) Calum Traveler: we've teased it here and there the last few months, wanting to build hype without spoiling the surprise.
(04/26 22:11:53) Calum Traveler: it's an amazing age- unfortunately the DRC just didn't have the resources at the time to finish it up.
(04/26 22:11:57) ALotOf: 'official DRC restoration project' ... so it is true what news report...
(04/26 22:12:15) Calum Traveler: Semjay has done an amazing job picking up the pieces and reassembling the picture, so to say.
(04/26 22:13:04) Jules Lavisham: Yes, Semjay really has accomplished something special.
(04/26 22:13:09) Calum Traveler: she's tirelessly worked at it, and I have to say, it's a beautiful, atmospheric place.
(04/26 22:13:42) NoMore: tension rising to unbearing level...
(04/26 22:13:51) Jules Lavisham: We do have an official date for the release
(04/26 22:13:56) Calum Traveler: as you may know, there were certain projects that were left us to pick up as we found time, and, well...
(04/26 22:14:02) Calum Traveler: the time is soon.
(04/26 22:14:05) Calum Traveler: very soon.
(04/26 22:14:07) Buddy: Any puzzles to solve in Kalamee?
(04/26 22:14:16) Calum Traveler: mmmh... no spoilers.
(04/26 22:14:22) Jules Lavisham: Monday May 1st, 13:00 KI time,
(04/26 22:14:29) Jules Lavisham: Chiso Preniv.
(04/26 22:14:32) Althea: I've taken time off work Monday.
(04/26 22:14:43) ALotOf: we'll see - ready for the big surprises...
(04/26 22:14:50) Jules Lavisham: Cal, are we doing an opening ceremony?
(04/26 22:15:09) Calum Traveler: i believe so?
(04/26 22:15:18) Jules Lavisham: Splendid! I do so enjoy those.
(04/26 22:15:20) Calum Traveler: at the very least I think Patrick will be there to say a few words.
(04/26 22:15:48) Calum Traveler: i also think Semjay does want to speak about it, though, no doubt.
(04/26 22:16:04) Jules Lavisham: Jolly good, jolly good. So, date for your diaries, you lot.
(04/26 22:16:16) Calum Traveler: may 1st, 1300.
(04/26 22:16:26) Jules Lavisham: And spread the word to any interested parties
(04/26 22:16:26) Calum Traveler: use those new Chiso books to get there
(04/26 22:16:39) Robert Murry: Looking forward to seeing the reactions of folks.
(04/26 22:16:39) Calum Traveler: ill be publishing a postcard with it this time
(04/26 22:16:42) Jules Lavisham: This is something you do not want to miss.
(04/26 22:16:53) Calum Traveler: and i'll be trying to fill in the backlog of missing ages I haven't done postcards of yet too.
(04/26 22:17:43) Calum Traveler: indeed, you wont want to miss it. Kalamee is special,
(04/26 22:17:45) Jules Lavisham: Coming to a gift shop near you
(04/26 22:17:49) Jules Lavisham chuckles
(04/26 22:17:53) Calum Traveler smiles

(04/26 22:18:14) Jules Lavisham: Right, let me see, what else...
(04/26 22:18:16) Schiavona: Hopefully someone will be recording the proceedings
(04/26 22:18:21) Calum Traveler: Minasunda usually does
(04/26 22:18:26) Jules Lavisham: Ah yes!
(04/26 22:18:29) Calum Traveler: i do too, if i can remember to upload to youtube
(04/26 22:18:57) Jules Lavisham: Folks from a while back may recall a project was announced by member of the restoration Christopher Therburg
(04/26 22:18:57) Schiavona gives a thumbs up
(04/26 22:19:15) Robert Murry: Ah yes...
(04/26 22:19:20) Calum Traveler: his Fall Memorial, yes.
(04/26 22:19:32) Calum Traveler: that is, "Fall of D'ni" memorial.
(04/26 22:19:34) Calum Traveler: properly ^^;
(04/26 22:19:54) Calum Traveler: our friend Keith "Tweek" Lord has taken up assisting him on the project.
(04/26 22:20:10) Jules Lavisham: And considerably progress has been made
(04/26 22:20:25) Calum Traveler: indeed.
(04/26 22:20:36) Calum Traveler: its located on a small island out on the lake, with a decent view of Ae'gura,
(04/26 22:20:56) Cindi Dani is amazed!
(04/26 22:21:02) Calum Traveler: and when i say small
(04/26 22:21:03) Calum Traveler: i do mean small
(04/26 22:21:17) Robert Murry: They have done a spectacular job.
(04/26 22:21:20) Calum Traveler: i dont think its any bigger than Relto, Jules?
(04/26 22:21:27) Buddy: How can we get there?
(04/26 22:21:38) Jules Lavisham: Yes, that's a fair assessment of the size.
(04/26 22:21:41) Calum Traveler: when released, we'll be placing a book to it from Chiso Preniv,
(04/26 22:21:49) ALotOf: (and a closer look towards city proper... maybe not, since mist is still strong that direction...)
(04/26 22:21:51) Calum Traveler: though in the future we're hoping to get a ferry system going,
(04/26 22:22:06) Calum Traveler: there's quite a few places in the cavern we're hoping to get a boat line going through,
(04/26 22:22:18) Calum Traveler: but that's considerably more work to get going safely
(04/26 22:22:33) Robert Murry: Hopefully to the tunnel entrance.
(04/26 22:22:42) Jules Lavisham: Yes, so for now, it's the tried and tested linking book method.
(04/26 22:22:46) Calum Traveler: ideally, once that whole route is finished, yes,
(04/26 22:23:13) Calum Traveler: it'd be nice to be able to just pull up a map, point a boat in a direction, and go.
(04/26 22:23:22) Althea: Can we swim to it?
(04/26 22:23:33) Calum Traveler: i would not recommend it, no.
(04/26 22:23:46) Calum Traveler: there's some particularly big fish out there in the lake,
(04/26 22:23:47) Robert Murry: In the lake? I wouldn't.
(04/26 22:23:53) Calum Traveler: never mind the algae
(04/26 22:23:54) Althea: Ah!
(04/26 22:23:58) ALotOf: the D'nharks again... (sigh)...
(04/26 22:24:08) Calum Traveler: i still dont know why people like taking a dip in the water just outside Elonin...
(04/26 22:24:17) Calum Traveler: seems like you're just asking to step out of there with glowing skin
(04/26 22:24:18) Althea: Because we can.
(04/26 22:24:30) Althea:
(04/26 22:24:33) Calum Traveler: i mean, fair.
(04/26 22:24:39) Jules Lavisham: Mm. We already went through one frantic search party on the lake with Wayne a while back.
(04/26 22:24:39) Calum Traveler: i cant stop yall in that regard.
(04/26 22:24:48) Robert Murry looks up, whistling to himself.
(04/26 22:24:54) Calum Traveler: speaking of, it was good to see him pop in at Bahvahnter's release,
(04/26 22:25:03) Calum Traveler: i didnt get a chance to say hi, but i was glad he made it.
(04/26 22:25:19) Jules Lavisham: Yes, that was nice.
(04/26 22:25:25) Althea: Search party! Seriously? :O
(04/26 22:25:30) Calum Traveler: yes, Wayne...
(04/26 22:25:34) Calum Traveler: did not tell us where he was going.
(04/26 22:25:38) Jules Lavisham: Indeed, Althea
(04/26 22:25:46) Calum Traveler: so when his Relto Book washed up at the docks all mangled...
(04/26 22:25:56) Althea: Goodness! I'm glad he's okay.
(04/26 22:26:07) Calum Traveler: well, it's been a *while* now and you can still see it nonfunctioning on his desk in Chiso Preniv
(04/26 22:26:07) Robert Murry: Well we did find his Relto book in the lake after all.
(04/26 22:26:17) Jules Lavisham: Yes, put us through the wringer a bit, he did.
(04/26 22:26:31) Calum Traveler: yes, Wayne was just fine in the end. Didn't think that the book would make it to Ae'gura though.
(04/26 22:27:05) Robert Murry: If he had a walkie talkie, he could have radio to us.
(04/26 22:27:08) Calum Traveler checks the time...
(04/26 22:27:35) Calum Traveler: yes, well, all we can do is have more strict 'tell folks where you're going' protocols when exploring ages and the Cavern
(04/26 22:27:48) Calum Traveler: atleast, for those of us on the restoration
(04/26 22:27:56) Jules Lavisham: All quite reasonable.
(04/26 22:27:57) Calum Traveler: i have a question from Buddy about the lake algae
(04/26 22:28:11) Calum Traveler: work on the Pellets themselves? No, we're not messing with that equipment at this time.
(04/26 22:28:21) Calum Traveler: the main hassle with the lake at the moment is the overflow station that was...
(04/26 22:28:24) Calum Traveler: for lack of a better term,
(04/26 22:28:28) Calum Traveler: not handled with care.
(04/26 22:28:51) Calum Traveler: we're still trying to get it operational, but my attention's been sucked back to Naybree given the sinkhole colapse.
(04/26 22:29:05) Calum Traveler: i havent been able to give it the attention its deserved this year yet.
(04/26 22:29:18) Calum Traveler: hopefully Ami will agree to come work with me on that.
(04/26 22:29:21) Buddy: Understandable.
(04/26 22:29:26) Calum Traveler nods.

(04/26 22:29:41) Calum Traveler: anyways, jules, I gotta bail before the eyeglasses shop closes.
(04/26 22:29:49) Calum Traveler: i think that's the last of everything?
(04/26 22:29:58) Jules Lavisham: Yes, that's basically all my prepared talking points.
(04/26 22:30:15) Calum Traveler: aight.
(04/26 22:30:18) Jules Lavisham: Lots to be looking forward to in the months to come!
(04/26 22:30:21) Calum Traveler: indeed
(04/26 22:30:31) Thumbs up from NoMore
(04/26 22:30:32) Calum Traveler: a heck of a lot.
(04/26 22:30:36) Althea claps her hands
(04/26 22:30:38) Buddy: I can hardly wait!
(04/26 22:30:38) BIG thumbs up from ALotOf
(04/26 22:30:42) Robert Murry: Yes.
(04/26 22:30:46) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler
(04/26 22:30:46) Jules Lavisham: Speaking of, next month, we'll be back in the Great Tree (3) Hood
(04/26 22:30:57) Calum Traveler: yes, the stage will be going down for some reworking,
(04/26 22:30:59) Buddy: Oh, why?
(04/26 22:31:08) Buddy: Okay
(04/26 22:31:11) Calum Traveler: we've fielded some legitimate issues via feedback,
(04/26 22:31:15) Calum Traveler: going to make sure that folks cant get stuck
(04/26 22:31:23) Calum Traveler: itll be taken down at the end of the month
(04/26 22:31:32) Thumbs up from Cindi Dani
(04/26 22:31:34) Calum Traveler: we're hoping to have it back sooner than the ol' Lake Dalek
(04/26 22:31:43) NoMore: people get injured on wood splinters (stuck in places) that why...
(04/26 22:31:49) Jules Lavisham: Long term plan is to have the Town Halls here, though.
(04/26 22:31:52) Calum Traveler: indeed
(04/26 22:31:57) Calum Traveler: it's a good use of space,
(04/26 22:32:08) Jules Lavisham: plus easier for folks to access
(04/26 22:32:17) Jules Lavisham: Increased footfall and whatnot
(04/26 22:32:22) Calum Traveler: anyways, ive got to go now, take care all.
(04/26 22:32:24) Calum Traveler waves goodbye
(04/26 22:32:27) NoMore: it has a nice backdrop... a real town hall...
(04/26 22:32:30) Jules Lavisham: Shorah, Cal
(04/26 22:32:33) Calum Traveler: jules, ill send you the log.
(04/26 22:32:34) Buddy: Bye
(04/26 22:32:39) Calum Traveler relto's...
(04/26 22:32:43) Jules Lavisham: Righto
(04/26 22:32:47) Robert Murry: Well, back to work.
(04/26 22:32:49) Althea: Thank you to whomever fixed the Tiam ball.
(04/26 22:32:59) Jules Lavisham: Thanks for coming out, everyone
(04/26 22:33:06) Schiavona: Glad to be here
(04/26 22:33:06) Cindi Dani: yw

(04/26 22:33:29) Cindi Dani: Very interesting, merci
(04/26 22:33:31) Jules Lavisham: See you all last Wednesday of the next month,
(04/26 22:33:37) Jules Lavisham: Great Tree (3) Hood, same time.
(04/26 22:33:47) Cindi Dani: ok Jules
(04/26 22:33:50) Jules Lavisham waves goodbye
(04/26 22:33:54) Thumbs up from Jeff K.
(04/26 22:34:07) Schiavona: Hope everyone who can make it to the Kalamee opening has a great time.
(04/26 22:34:08) Robert Murry waves goodbye
(04/26 22:34:12) Jules Lavisham links out
