Beneath

The Tefoonet’ahn book of commentary has been taking my time up lately. Have been debating whether to go exploring some, had been considering seeing if I could scope Noloben out with Marein, I’m kind of hoping Esher’s Bahro research is still there and I can obtain copies for my own research. That said there is so much of the Barracks Age to explore, the mountains to the north look interesting and I know others are keen to venture out and explore some more.

In the mean time Steven and I have been breaking the monotony of work with light painting in the Cavern.

Been quite fun, firemarbles provide a great source of light for it, definitely going to do some more over the coming weeks.

I had decided that the second floor of the D’ni Jazz Club location was going to house living accommodation for myself, perhaps a studio for me to paint in.

Course then the idea of using it as an office for The Firemarble came to me. Currently we’re operating out of a small room in the Tehren Neighbourhood but having a larger space would be much nicer to work in, plus if more people join the staff we would need more room.

So at the start of the month we cleaned the place up, got some repairs done and started dressing the place up and removing some of the stuff we had been keeping in there.

The Firemarble is going on a hiatus whilst I set everything up in the office and work out some plans I have for the paper.

It has been a busy month so far, I haven’t really had time to reflect on Dr. Watson’s return and other things.

The last few days have seen me spending a vast amount of time in Jalak Dador.

It has been most enjoyable, and relaxing to take some time out from the grind to construct weird things with people like No’ga, “Nadnerb”, Curty and Marein. As well as constructing some new games and testing them out (my current favorite being Highball).

As a result I have added a Jalak Dador Games section to my Archives page. I plan to upload my notes and diagrams to that section of the games I come up with, Shifting Sands and Highball are already up and ready.

I have found myself spending a lot of time in the D’ni Jazz Club of late. Just wandering around looking at the great work Darryl has done on the structure. There was a lot of damage when we first found the location.

People are already asking for access, not sure when that will be, could be a while given the amount of projects on the go and the small team we have working in the group. Perhaps we should get a meeting held and vote on suspending some projects, will have to take that up with the others.

For a couple of years now I have been wanting to restore the location to house The D’ni Jazz Club. But resources have been a big problem in getting it done. This weekend Phase 1 was finally completed, and details posted.
Upon seeing them, Darryl “Paradox” Pogue kindly offered to help fix the place up, overseeing Phases 2 to 4. Work began pretty quickly a lot of the damage has been repaired and the DJC tapestries have been hung on the walls.

To say I am excited to see this taking shape is an understatement, out of all the projects the RestorersGuild has going The D’ni Jazz Club is one of the ones I want to see completed most (the other being the explorer memorial age Tefoonet’ahn).
