[16:08] <Rambart20> uh oh
[16:08] <hygilac> hi guest
[16:08] <Sedina> In general conversation, it would do the same to me actually.  For some reason though, I get in chat and my ability to use correct grammar seems to get lost in cyberspace
[16:08] <Jessie> hello Guest34962
[16:08] <Rambart20> i guess I had better be my best behavior today
[16:08] <Guest34962> Bynw, it's KK.  How do I get my nick back?
[16:08] <Sedina> Hi KK...

[16:09] <Rambart20> howdy kiri
[16:09] <Shiral> Your timing is perfect
[16:09] <Kiri`> really?  that has to be nothing short of a miracle
[16:09] <Kiri`> hi KK =)
[16:09] <KK> Hi there.  I've got a little screen tonight.  Couldn't get in by my usual route.  Had to come via the 2nd option from the website.
[16:09] <Jessie> hello Katherine
[16:09] <Shiral> KK just arrived too
[16:10] <Bynw> KK we can fix that later in case we have technical issues again
[16:10] <Kiri`> GMTA (pardon my hubris =)  )
[16:10] <hygilac> it has been a rough week on mIRC, KK
[16:10] <KK> OK
[16:10] <KK> Apparently so.
[16:10] * KK has a Jessicat on her lap
[16:10] <Kiri`> hi Jessicat
[16:10] <Kiri`> has a dantecat in the wondow.=)
[16:10] <hygilac> Hi Jessicat
[16:10] <Kiri`> window
[16:10] <Shiral> I have two cats on the desk with me if that helps
[16:10] * Sedina scritches Jessiecat's neck and says hi
[16:11] <Rambart20> precious and alpo say to jessicat
[16:11] <Shiral> How has your week been, Katherine?
[16:11] <KK> Actually, all 3 cats are in my office tonight.  They all want to be sociable.
[16:11] * the_Bee scratches Jessicat behind the ears
[16:11] <Sedina> Both of my fur children have curled up and died somewhere.
[16:11] <KK> Good.
[16:11] <hygilac> I have two pointedly ignoring me because they don't like the food offering
[16:11] <KK> Passed out rather htan died, I hope.
[16:11] <Sedina> Well, they look rather dead, but I'm sure that's it's just a comatose state
[16:12] <Kiri`> i have happy cats.. did major cleaning this morning (i was careful jess =) )
[16:12] <Kiri`> we have FLOOR SPACE now
[16:12] <Shiral> Good, Kiri <G>
[16:12] <hygilac> any empty boxes, Kiri?
[16:12] <Sedina> My kitties hate me when I clean...  *l*  They see the dreaded vacuum and run and hide
[16:12] <Kiri`> about 100
[16:12] <hygilac> that's what mine like
[16:12] <Kiri`> jk
[16:12] <Shiral> How progresses Childe Morgan?
[16:13] <KK> I'm happy to report that Nicholas is now coming on his own with great regularity.  Came into the library this morning while I was reading the paper.
[16:13] <Sedina> Yes, any good teasers to give us, KK?
[16:13] <Kiri`> my roomates who aren't unpacked asked me to peek in a few boxes.. i did some major consolidation *huge happy grin*  now the dining room is clear enough to walk
[16:13] <Shiral> Nicholas was probably in search of the financial section, KK
[16:13] <Shiral> Wants to check on his stocks.
[16:13] <KK> Childe is going well.  I now have pretty much worked out how and why Alyce ended up married to Kenneth and how she and Donal got together.
[16:13] <Rambart20> or someplace to nap
[16:13] <KK> It's all Jessamy's fault.
[16:14] <Kiri`> a cat who likes financial sections.. ooh  keep that one.. how well is his investing?
[16:14] * Kiri` would love to hear that bit..
[16:14] <Shiral> Jessamy gets more interesting all the time )
[16:14] <Sedina> Jessamy's fault you say?  Very interesting
[16:14] <KK> LOL.  I've worked it out, but I haven't written it yet.  That's still many chapters ahead.
[16:14] * Kelos[Away] is happy about one thing: His Darkover membership should have arrived by now....
[16:14] <hygilac> Jessamy sounds . . interesting
[16:14] *** Kelos[Away] is now known as Kelos_al-Hazar 
[16:14] <Kiri`> hi kelos =)
[16:14] <Sedina> wb Kelos
[16:14] <KK> Right now, I've just written the chapter with the death of Alyce and Marie's father.
[16:15] <Jessie> sad
[16:15] <Kiri`> oh..
[16:15] * Kiri` hands over some ice tea for Katherine
[16:15] * Shiral passes around the fresh shortbread
[16:15] <KK> He dies in an assassination attempt on Duke Richard, in Meara. But it happens off camera.
[16:15] <Kiri`> a plot!
[16:15] <Jessie> Uncle Richard!!!!!!!!!!
[16:15] <Rambart20> sounds interesting
[16:15] <Kiri`> was it quick Katherine?
[16:16] <Sedina> It's those Mearans again, I tell ya...
[16:16] <Jessie> bad mearans..........bad bad Mearans
[16:16] * Kiri` hopes he didn't suffer
[16:16] <Shiral> Yes, disorderly Mearans!
[16:16] <Kiri`> bet it was that duck editor..
[16:16] <hygilac> it's always the Mearans
[16:16] <Shiral> No Biscuits, bad Mearans...
[16:16] <Sedina> LOL
[16:16] <Kiri`> lol shiral
[16:16] * Sedina wonders what kind of cover story the MSH came up for that one
[16:16] <KK> Yes, and there's a romantic interest for Alyce and Marie, Marie especially.  A young Deryni knight named Se Trelawny.  There's an accent on Se.
[16:16] <KK> Pronounced Shay.
[16:17] <Sedina> Cool name
[16:17] <Jessie> neat
[16:17] <Shiral> Ooooooooo, Is he good looking? <G>
[16:17] <hygilac> wonderful name
[16:17] <Bynw> !stat KK
[16:17] <Bender> KK: 1258 words, 6697 letters, 5 smilies, time wasted: 1 hour 13 minutes .
[16:17] <Bynw> i know that's not counting right
[16:17] <Kiri`> like that name....  Shay
[16:17] <Kiri`> Se
[16:17] <Kiri`> what does he look like KK?
[16:17] * Kelos_al-Hazar thinks someone's gonna have to re-code that...We don't waste time here!
[16:17] <Shiral> Is Se a  member of Duke Richard's party?
[16:17] <KK> He's very good looking--blond, as it happens. :-)
[16:18] * Sedina note that Shiral's already drooling over the new character
[16:18] <Shiral> I am not!
[16:18] <Sedina> Sure Shiral...  *lol*
[16:18] <Jessie> what happens to Se Trelawny?
[16:18] <Rambart20> I think you are lady
[16:18] * Shiral dabs at lower lip with a hankie
[16:18] <hygilac> a nice Cornish name, Trelawny
[16:18] <Bynw> LOL Kelos
[16:18] <Shiral> Nonsense all base slander
[16:18] <KK> Se lasts well into Alaric's young manhood.  He's gonna be around for a while.
[16:18] <the_Bee> Does Alyce know Vera at this point? If so, does she know they're sisters?
[16:18] <Shiral> Oh good, I'm relieved
[16:19] <Jessie> excellent Katherine
[16:19] <KK> I think she probably does, but I haven't worked that out yet.
[16:19] *** Tika has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:19] <Shiral> Hi Tika
[16:19] <Sedina> Hi Tika
[16:19] <Jessie> hello Tika
[16:19] <Tika> greetings!
[16:19] <hygilac> Jessie, ask your questions
[16:19] <Kiri`> hi tik!
[16:19] <Rambart20> howdy tika
[16:19] <hygilac> hi Tika
[16:19] <Tika> (see I left off the earthlings part
[16:19] <KK> We've met Alyce, Marie, and their brother, Taysan Ahern, the new Earl of Lendour, who is wounded in the attack that kills their father.
[16:19] * Sedina giggles at Tika
[16:19] <Jessie> nope -- not until KK is finished with telling us about this week's writing 
[16:20] <hygilac> okay
[16:20] *** Bynw sets mode: +o Tika
[16:20] <hygilac> just reminding
[16:20] *** Jessie sets mode: -o Jessie
[16:20] <Jessie> thanks hygilac
[16:20] <Shiral> So, once again though, Is Se Trelawney included in Duke Richard's Mearan party?
[16:20] <hygilac> np
[16:21] <KK> Not sure yet.  I think he may still be a squire at this point.
[16:21] <hygilac> young, then
[16:21] *** Sedina Quit (System error: 64)
[16:21] <Shiral> Alyce is young also
[16:21] <KK> Yes.  But so are Alyce and Marie.
[16:21] <hygilac> true, of course
[16:21] <Jessie> what is Kenneth Morgan doing now?
[16:22] *** Sedina has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:22] *** Bender was kicked by Bynw (go reset yourself you silly bot)
[16:22] *** Bender has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:22] <Jessie> wb Sedina
[16:22] <Shiral> WB, Sedina
[16:22] <Sedina> Sure...Peer's gets me during the teasers part.  Bad peer!
[16:22] * Sedina grabs a monkfish and wallops Peer with it unmercifully
[16:22] <KK> Kenneth <is> probably with Duke Richard's party, and saves Richard's life.
[16:22] * Sedina hopes she didn't miss too much
[16:22] <hygilac> yes, what IS kenneth Morgandoing?
[16:22] <Jessie> good man
[16:23] <Shiral> This may be a silly question, but why is Taysan Ahern not the Duke of Corwyn?
[16:23] <hygilac> excellent
[16:23] <Jessie> you didn't Sedina
[16:23] <Jessie> cause he dies Shiral
[16:23] <Sedina> Good, Jessie...  *g*  Thanks
[16:23] <Shiral> Well, yes, but BEFORE that!
[16:23] * Bynw makes sure there is a place next to him for Tika
[16:23] <Jessie> his father was alive
[16:23] <Shiral> He's the Earl of Lendour, but not the Duke
[16:23] <KK> Kenneth is shaping up to be a war hero.  On that next foray into Meara, he ends up saving Donal's life--which is part of what results in his brilliant marriage to the beautiful and rich heiress, Alyce de Corwyn.
[16:24] <Jessie> ah -- good Kenneth
[16:24] <Bynw> lucky guy
[16:24] <Sedina> ah-ha
[16:24] <Shiral> Brave guy
[16:24] <Jessie> no war hero is lucky Bynw
[16:24] <Jessie> except to still be alive
[16:24] <KK> Deryni can't inherit fully until they're 25, at this time.
[16:24] <Shiral> I see
[16:24] <Shiral> He was lucky enough to marry Alyce, though
[16:25] <Jessie> if she loved him
[16:25] <hygilac> I had forgotten that age clause
[16:25] <KK> He isn't fully Earl of Lendour either; has regents for both title.
[16:25] <Sedina> And at this point he'd be exactly how old?
[16:25] <KK> 15
[16:26] <Sedina> Ah, still a rather young pup
[16:26] <KK> As is Marie.  Alyce is 16.
[16:26] <hygilac> Where is the duke of Corwyn to be buried?
[16:26] <the_Bee> Is he the one who was disqualified by physical and mental disabilities? the one
[16:26] <Shiral> Marie and Ahern are twins?
[16:26] <KK> Remember that Taysan and Marie are twins.
[16:26] <Shiral> Ahah, that explains it
[16:26] <Jessie> Ahern is the father
[16:26] <KK> He was crippled when he died, as a result of his injury in the Mearan incident.
[16:27] <Rambart20> question KK from what period of time does this take place from the beginning to the end of the book
[16:27] <KK> Had a kneecap smashed, so his leg healed straight and stiff. But at least it kept the leg.
[16:27] <Rambart20> ouch!
[16:27] * Sedina shudders. Ow!
[16:27] <Kiri`> thinks that sounds like he was driving too fast down the road.. "mearan accident"
[16:27] * Shiral holds onto her kneecap and thinks OWW!!
[16:27] * Kiri` winces
[16:28] <Shiral> Yes,  Everyone else was riding, but Ahern was in a sportscar <G>
[16:28] <KK> The book covers about a 9 year period.  I think it will end when we find out that Alyce is pregnant, possibly with Alaric's birth.  I'll have to decide when I get there.
[16:28] <Kiri`> i've had my left knee rebuilt.. *feels for the character*"
[16:28] <Jessie> ;-)
[16:28] * hygilac is grateful for modern-day painkillers and surgeries
[16:29] <Rambart20> is it going to be as thick as camber the heretic?
[16:29] <Jessie> Katherine:  would a Deryni Healer have been able to heal the kneecap?
[16:29] <KK> Alyce and Marie are able to use their powers to make their brother more comfortable, but they don't know how to heal.
[16:29] * Sedina hopes it will be as thick as CH
[16:29] *** Mak has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:29] <KK> Probably.
[16:29] <Sedina> Hi Mak
[16:29] <Jessie> hello Mak
[16:29] <Kiri`> hi mak
[16:29] <Kiri`> !
[16:29] <Shiral> Hello Mak
[16:29] <Bynw> hiyas mak
[16:29] * Kelos_al-Hazar offers KK a tall glass of cool Earl Grey tea to soothe her throat with
[16:29] <Rambart20> howdy MAK
[16:29] <hygilac> hi Mak
[16:29] <Mak> Hi, everyone!
[16:29] <Shiral> I hope it will be thicker <G>
[16:29] <Mak> Boy was it tough gettng in here today!
[16:29] <KK> It won't be thicker.
[16:30] <Shiral> Oh well, one can dream =o)
[16:30] <Jessie> Katherine: a question -- do you have a title yet for the next Templar Anthology?
[16:30] <Kiri`> thicker pages?
[16:30] * Sedina giggles at Shiral
[16:30] <the_Bee> thicker skulls?
[16:30] <KK> I think we decided on Deryni Tales.
[16:31] <Jessie> TEmplar Anthology
[16:31] <Kiri`> for the emplar anthology?
[16:31] <hygilac> for the Templar book?
[16:31] <KK> Whoops, wrong anthology.
[16:31] <Kelos_al-Hazar> For the next Templar Anthology?
[16:31] <Shiral> Deryni Templars!
[16:31] <Jessie> lol Shiral
[16:31] <hygilac> there's a thought
[16:31] <Rambart20> hey there isan idea
[16:31] <Sedina> That would certainly being an interesting merge
[16:31] <Jessie> Sedina:  it is called the Michaelines
[16:31] <Kiri`> Temple of the Deryni?
[16:32] <KK> I was trying to find that a couple of days ago.  There's something about flames, but I can't remember the exact title we decided on.
[16:32] * Sedina smiles at Jessie
[16:32] <hygilac> Adam Sinclair holds out a hand full of blue handfire. ..yeay
[16:32] <hygilac> I can see it
[16:32] <Shiral> Wouldn't put it past him <G>
[16:32] <KK> I did get a query from my Ace editor asking if I had any suggestions for cover art for the Deryni anthology.
[16:32] <hygilac> Hurray!
[16:32] * Kiri` points to shiral.. =)
[16:32] <Jessie> do you know who else will have stories included besides Rob, Patricia & DTH?
[16:33] * hygilac nods
[16:33] <Rambart20> awesome
[16:33] <Bynw> there is this artist in Calif...named Melissa ...
[16:33] <Jessie> in the Templar Anthology that is
[16:33] * Shiral blushes like sunburned raspberry and hides under a rock
[16:33] <KK> They've already got the artist, but apparently he works best with serious navigation assistance.
[16:33] <Kiri`> ok.. 1 read the stories..
[16:33] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Let Shiral loose on it...LOL! She'd do great! )
[16:34] <Shiral> Is it the same guy that did the KKB cover?
[16:34] <Kiri`> 2. pick something in the stories for the cover
[16:34] <Jessie> in the Templar Anthology do you know who else will have stories included besides Rob, Patricia & DTH?
[16:34] <Shiral> I liked his work!
[16:34] <Kiri`> 3. get the characters correct!
[16:34] <Kiri`> 4. ask KK if you have it right BEFORE you submit for publication
[16:34] <Bynw> i think the picture of Lewis at his expirement on deryni.net would be a cool cover for Deryni Tales
[16:34] <hygilac> Kiri`, how radical
[16:34] <KK> Templar anthology: Rob, Patricia, DTH, Lohr Miller (I think), Susan Shwartz, Richard Woods, and Macdonald & Doyle, besides me.
[16:34] <Kiri`> darryl sweet reaction.. *paints well  but hasn't a clue*
[16:35] <Jessie> thank you Katherine
[16:35] <hygilac> how about. ..a green tower?
[16:35] <Mak> Yeah- Kiri- that almost makes sense!
[16:35] <Jessie> Katherine:  have you yet pictured in your mind what the "colors and/or emblem" would be for Altorf?
[16:35] <KK> But we don't see that in the story; we just know it happens. Remember, it's from the POV of the two girls.
[16:36] <KK> Haven't done much with the Torenthi lands' heraldry.
[16:36] <Kiri`> kk - hmm you mean alyce and ?
[16:36] <Jessie> Jessamyn
[16:36] <Shiral> And Stevan
[16:36] <Shiral> Stevana
[16:36] * hygilac thinks of Shiral's Castle Coroth, at night, tower shining green. ..
[16:37] <Kiri`> yes lovely picture
[16:37] <Kiri`> what about your castle painted for a cover sometime Katherine?
[16:38] <KK> It isn't really a castle, though it's somewhat like Adam's house.  But I don't his is as gothic.
[16:38] <hygilac> gothic is good though
[16:38] <Shiral> Not "Toad Hall" enough?
[16:38] <Shiral>  =o)
[16:39] *** Debbie-vb has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:39] <KK> We're very fond of gothic.
[16:39] <Jessie> hello Debbie-vb
[16:39] <Shiral> Hello Debbie
[16:39] <Debbie-vb> Hi all
[16:39] <hygilac> hi Debbie
[16:39] <Mak> Hi, Debbie!
[16:39] <Rambart20> howdy debbie
[16:39] <the_Bee> Hi Debbie
[16:39] <Shiral> Coroth Castle would be more Romanesque
[16:39] <hygilac> do you have any gargoyles, KK?
[16:39] <hygilac> :-)
[16:39] <Bynw> hiyas Debbie
[16:39] <Sedina> Hi Debbie
[16:39] <KK> Not as part of the house.
[16:40] <Jessie> Katherine:  any other hints & tidbits about childe morgan?
[16:40] <KK> But I have one that Susan sent me, that looks down at my computer from on top of a bookcase.
[16:40] <KK> No other hints tonight.  I've told you pretty much what I was working on this past week.
[16:40] <Jessie> ;-)
[16:41] <hygilac> sounds like a productive week
[16:41] <Sedina> Having done that, how are the renovations going then?
[16:41] <KK> I thought the plumber was coming yesterday, but he didn't show. All the tiling is done.
[16:41] <Shiral> I had a question about the wildlife of the XI Kingdoms: If someone was crossing the Anvil of the Lord, would they do it on camel back?
[16:41] <KK> It was a pretty good week.
[16:42] <KK> Quite possibly on camels.
[16:42] <Rambart20> soundslike a MR. O'reilly
[16:42] <Sedina> That's good to hear, Katherine.  Hopefully the plumber shows up soon though
[16:42] <Shiral> And farther North, would they have wolves and bears in Gwynedd?
[16:42] <hygilac> don't hold your breath,though
[16:42] <Jessie> lions and tigers and bears -- oh my
[16:42] <Shiral> Plumbing is always better when it works
[16:42] <Bynw> lol
[16:42] <KK> Well, we've got houseguests coming in next Sunday for about 3 days, so we need to have the front guest bathroom up and running fully.
[16:42] <Kiri`> What about snakes?
[16:42] <Kiri`> I think richenda was wondering that =)
[16:43] <Debbie-vb> thinking of sending donald to Gwennedd?
[16:43] <Sedina> Oh dear, in that case...  *crosses fingers and toes in hopes that the plumber will show up before then*
[16:43] <hygilac> she has snakes on the brain
[16:43] <KK> Probably would have wolves.  Bears more in Torenth, I think.
[16:43] <KK> I read the Duck Diaries to date.  He really does wrestle with snakes, doesn't he?!
[16:44] <Kiri`> anywhere have a dangerous nasty deadly spider named after Charissa the duchess of tolan?
[16:44] <hygilac> Is any part of Gwynedd itself heavily forested?
[16:44] <KK> Probably some of the mountain areas.
[16:44] <hygilac> lol Kiri
[16:44] <Shiral> And in forests, rabbits, moles, badgers, and other small, fur bearing critters?
[16:44] <Jessie> would have to be -- for wolves
[16:44] <KK> And maybe over in the west.
[16:44] <Kiri`> spiders or forests?
[16:44] <KK> Yeah, standard dritters, Shiral.
[16:44] <KK> Forests.
[16:44] <Shiral> Okay
[16:45] <Shiral> Well, they probably have spiders too, if they've got insects
[16:45] <hygilac> What would the "sleeping furs" normally be, KK?
[16:45] <Tika> KK, I visited Westview this morning   It's the polar opposite of Hollywood
[16:45] <Debbie-vb> stenrect fur
[16:46] <Jessie> good question hygilac
[16:46] <Shiral> Stenrects weren't terribly furry <G>
[16:46] <KK> Any Carters there, Tika?
[16:46] * Debbie-vb giggles
[16:46] <KK> Stenrects don't have fur.

[16:46] <Mak> Hi, scribbler
[16:46] <Tika> It's several hundred acres in size, I'm going back in the morning to the office to look - I did see one but it definitely wasn't yours
[16:46] <KK> Scribbler, haven't seen you here for a few weeks!
[16:46] <scribbler> yes -- it's somewhere in my backlog....
[16:46] <Jessie> would sleeping furs be:  bear skins, cow hides, deer hides or ?
[16:46] <Tika> wb scribbler
[16:47] <scribbler> I was at a baseball game last Sunday, KK...
[16:47] <KK> Check the "abbey," if that's the mausoleum, too.
[16:47] <Shiral> Wolf pelts?
[16:47] <Tika> the "abbey" is incredibly beautiful
[16:47] <Tika> at least on the outside
[16:47] <scribbler> sorry I'm late -- grocery shopping today....
[16:47] <KK> Bear skins, hides, sheepskins, maybe fox furs.  But no cats!
[16:47] <Tika> and I'll do that!
[16:47] <Kiri`>  KK - would there ever have been a female component to the Michaelines?  Either lay or religious? Not necessarily in Camber or kelson's time.
[16:48] <Rambart20> did everyone see mists of avalon the movie? did it live up to the book
[16:48] <the_Bee> deer for sure.  Brion was hunting deer when he died.
[16:48] <hygilac> no, bart, it did not
[16:48] <Shiral> Unless the cat was alive and just sleeping on top of the bed <G>
[16:48] <scribbler> I've got it on tape, Bart, but haven't found the time to watch it yet...
[16:48] <KK> Not of the Michaelines, since they were partly a military order, but there obviously were Deryni or part-Deryni women's orders.
[16:48] <Shiral> Probably wild goats and sheep in the mountains
[16:48] <Sedina> cats are natural little bed warmers
[16:49] <the_Bee> I've wathed it.  enjoyable, but lots left out
[16:49] <Shiral> I know, I woke up this morniig with two of them
[16:49] <scribbler> I never read the book, so I won't have too many expectations....
[16:49] <Mak> You mean natural little bed hogs, don't you, Sedina?
[16:49] <KK> Was it a TV miniseries?
[16:49] <Rambart20> just curious thats one of the books I have on to read lists
[16:49] <Shiral> Yes
[16:49] <the_Bee> Yes, KK
[16:49] <scribbler> It was a 2-part movie on Turner Network Television....
[16:49] <KK> It's good, but over-long by about a third, to my taste.
[16:50] <Jessie> Katherine: in 677 in Torenth besides chaimail & helm -- what would be the attire of a Torenthi Knight?
[16:50] <the_Bee> The movie was shorter
[16:50] <Sedina> Mak - actually, my one kitty's not a bed hog...cover hog, maybe, but she shares the bed itself rather nicely.  She just likes to curl up under the covers where it's toasty warm
[16:50] <KK> Quilted gambeson, possibly boiled leather, possibly leather with metal studs--light and flexible stuff.
[16:50] <hygilac> mine normally sleep one oneither side of the foot
[16:50] <Mak> Well, maybe it's just because I usually have 4 or more taking up space, Sedina!
[16:50] <KK> Picture the Saracen armour in El Cid.
[16:50] <hygilac> until I put the eiderdown on
[16:51] <hygilac> then they want the middle
[16:51] <Jessie> round metal roman shields? or larger wood&hide shields?
[16:51] <Sedina> LOL Mak - that could have something to do with it
[16:51] * scribbler gets confused and pictures cats in Torenthi armor.....
[16:51] <Shiral> LOL Roberta!!
[16:51] <KK> They'd probably favor round shields.
[16:51] <hygilac> How many cats not Mak?
[16:51] <hygilac> now
[16:51] <Sedina> LOL scribs
[16:51] <Mak> Still 8
[16:51] <Shiral> It's really hard to get the little blighters outfitted, too!
[16:51] <Kiri`> grins at scribbler
[16:52] <Rambart20> 8? wow
[16:52] <KK> They don't like wearing clothes.  Little naturists, as they'd be called over here.
[16:52] <Mak> See them all at: www.thirtywopaws.com
[16:52] <hygilac> they really hate to stand still for all the buckles to be fastened
[16:52] <Shiral> They're already exquisitely dressed, after all
[16:52] <Jessie> The torenthi knights are little naturists? -- or the cats?
[16:52] <Shiral> And they wiggle about and complain...
[16:52] <KK> The cats.
[16:53] <Sedina> LOL Jessie
[16:53] <Shiral> Battle Cats -- I wouldn't want to command that army
[16:53] * Jessie has visions of an verra verra interesting Torenthi army
[16:53] <the_Bee> Yes, cats provide their very own sleeping furs
[16:53] <hygilac> naturist knights. . .the mind boggled
[16:53] <Mak> And then wriggle out of the stuff just as soon as you get it on them....!
[16:53] <Debbie-vb> Of course, with cats, why mess with perfection
[16:53] <Shiral> "Attack now? But we're all taking NAPS!!"
[16:53] <KK> LOL, Shiral!
[16:54] <Shiral> Of course, I wouldn't want to be attacked by Torenthi battle cats, either
[16:54] <Rambart20> I just got this image of the cat commericial where they are herding cats like the cowboys did cows
[16:54] <KK> The naturist knights go with the Scots line mooning the English in Braveheart.
[16:54] <hygilac> "nah, I don't wanna kill him; let's just chase him around a while?
[16:54] * Sedina giggles
[16:54] <Jessie> In 822 -- would the attire for a Torenthi  knight be plate army or chainmail
[16:54] <Jessie> sorry plate armor

(to be continued...)
