[17:31] <Mistyck> hello Katherine
[17:31] <slobbit> hi kk
[17:31] <KK> Hello, folks.
[17:31] * Barticus has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:31] <DeryniBot> Hi there Barticus! Welcome to the chat.
[17:31] <Shiral> hi kk
[17:31] <Mistyck> hi Bart
[17:31] <Shiral> hi bart
[17:31] <Dov> Greetings Katherine
[17:31] <Barticus> howdy kk
[17:31] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, KK
[17:32] <Barticus> howdy all
[17:32] <RainbowDragon> Hi Bart
[17:32] <Shiral> I checked the chat window at just the right moment,
obviously. =o)
[17:32] <kirienne> hi bart
[17:32] <KK> A bit sad this week, with Wrengl gone.
[17:32] <Bynw> hiyas KK and Bart!
[17:32] * ambush tackle-pounces kk
[17:32] <Mistyck> yes it is
[17:32] <RainbowDragon> Yes it is, KK
[17:32] * ambush tackle-pounces Barticus
[17:32] <kirienne> Hi Katherine
[17:32] <Shiral> Chat won't be the same without her, certainly.
[17:32] <KK> I understand that Samuel and Bynw and Tika managed to
visit her in hospital. That's good.
[17:33] <Barticus> (is sad too about Pat - just found about it)
[17:33] <Tika> She was very chipper that day - I was very surprised to
hear she had gone downhill so quickly after we left
[17:33] <Samuel> yes we did. although, none of us thought it was so
close.
[17:33] <KK> She was another fighter, though.
[17:33] <kirienne> how long had she been in the hospital?
[17:33] <Mistyck> yes she was, just like Kim
[17:33] <Kelric> hi kk.
[17:33] <Bynw> yeah ... never would have thought she would be gone
that soon after seeing her
[17:34] <RainbowDragon> I think the timing was fortuitous that you all
got to see her one last time and on a good day.
[17:34] <KK> The whole thing was just very quick. But if it was her
time....
[17:34] <Shiral> Definitely
[17:34] <Tika> well we were surely guided by a Larger Hand
[17:34] <Shiral> With all the new troubles the doctors discovered in
her last hours, it was probably a mercy she went so quickly
[17:34] <Tika> something told me we needed to do that first, before
any other stops
[17:35] <KK> She was there for a couple of weeks. But even at
darkover, she and Kathi were making plans for their Panama canal
cruise--half-way thorugh!--and Kathi was talking about taking her to
Australia.
[17:35] <Mistyck> the Good Lord guides all of us when He feels the
need
[17:35] <kirienne> yep
[17:36] <Shiral> I'm glad they got to go on their Alaskan Cruise, at
least
[17:36] <Mistyck> yep
[17:36] <kirienne> yep
[17:36] <KK> So we now have two Deryni fans to watch over us from
heaven.
[17:36] <Mistyck> aye
[17:36] <kirienne> yes
[17:36] <KK> She did really enjoy that Alaska cruise. I'm so glad
they were able to do it.
[17:37] <Shiral> It's a testament to the importance of not putting off
the fun stuff
[17:37] <KK> Good heavens, I just realized we have a Bennu as well as
a Bynw. Are you cousins? ;-)
[17:37] <Mistyck> agreed. And life should be led to the fullest at
all times
[17:37] <Samuel> KK: <tease> maybe they can tag team you and prompt
you to write more </tease>
[17:37] <Tika> clones more likely
[17:37] <Bennu> lol
[17:37] <Bennu> no I'm Bynw on his Mac
[17:37] <Tika> LOL Sam
[17:37] <KK> aha! sneaky!
[17:38] <Shiral> You sure you're not Bynw's evil twin?
[17:38] <Bennu> no we will tag team Scott to write that 3rd Knights of
the Blood book
[17:38] <Samuel> I thought Bynw *was* the evil twin.
[17:38] <kirienne> lol
[17:38] <Bennu> he should have it done in time for our birthday
[17:38] <KK> Is you Mac one of those new ones that's about the size of
a brick?
[17:38] <Shiral> Is that Tag Team or Nag team?
[17:38] Dethand has joined #MyndWorks and may need assistance
[17:38] <Barticus> Bynw has a split personailty
[17:38] <Bennu> no this is an old emac
[17:39] <KK> (Hey, I've been starting to think seriously about where
to start the third Morgan book.
[17:39] <Mistyck> cool!
[17:39] <Shiral> My mom just got a new apple computer and loves it
[17:39] <kirienne> wonderful
[17:39] <Bennu> not a mac mini but i'm looking at one of those or one
of the new imacs when i buy a new computer sometime in the future
[17:39] <Dov> wonderful!
[17:39] <Shiral> We like the sound of this
[17:39] <Barticus> awesome
[17:39] <KK> Scott is thinking about switching to a Mac once we move.
[17:39] <Bynw> Jasta is gonna create a memorial page for Pat ... just
like Martine created one for Kim ... I'm gonna donate the space for it
just like Kim's page so we dont need to worry about that
[17:40] <KK> I think it's the imac, actually.
[17:40] <slobbit> I switched from WIndoze, to Linux, to Mac. Love Mac
[17:40] <kirienne> that will be so nice Bynw
[17:40] <KK> Glad you mentioned that. I knew it was in the works.
Any idea when it will be up?
[17:40] <Bennu> Mac OS X is good .... my brother has one and it rocks
[17:40] <Bynw> no clue yet KK ... have to chat with Jasta again
[17:40] <Shiral> Jasta needs to accomplish her move, too so who knows?
[17:40] <RainbowDragon> Jasta is moving?
[17:41] <kirienne> did she get the house she wanted to rent?
[17:41] <Dov> loved the off-stage appearance of Denis in CM, by the
way.
[17:42] <KK> It's nice to be able to foreshadow like that. :-)
[17:42] <KK> I <think> Jasta is getting the house--which is about
halfway between where she is now and where we'll be in Staunton.
[17:43] <KK> Her horse is about 3 miles away, apparently.
[17:43] <kirienne> oohhh< KK, that will be very nice
[17:43] <slobbit> Foreshadowing -- especially when you know what comes
after ;-)
[17:43] <Bynw> it will be really cool once you guys get to
Staunton ... this chat time wont be so late anymore for ya
[17:43] <Shiral> I like the way Brion is shaping up
[17:43] * Festil Quit
[17:43] <KK> It's going to be fun, watching him change from a kid to a
man.
[17:44] <kirienne> yes it is
[17:44] <Mistyck> Katherine, do you have any plans on expanding on the
Alaric in the tree incident?
[17:44] <Shiral> Do you have any idea of where you'll start the action
in the third book?
[17:45] <KK> It will be told from his POV, of course--which will give
it a different slant.
[17:45] <Mistyck> cool!
[17:45] <Barticus> Hey will Maryse make an appearance in this book?
[17:45] <Mistyck> good question Bart!
[17:45] <KK> Nope. And I don't have a lot of the background material
available right now, with everything packed away.
[17:45] <kirienne> brb, must take laundry from washers and put in
dryers, hope one is available in the laundry room
[17:46] <Mistyck> well, that's understandable
[17:46] <Shiral> Moving = chaos
[17:46] <Dov> oh yes, and the completion of his power ritual
[17:47] <KK> Speaking of packed away, I need someone to troll through
the adept material for the background on Bonnie Dundee's Templar
cross. I'm thinking of working in some of its earlier history in the
Hunting by Gaslight book, and don't have any copies of the Adept books
available here at the cottage.
[17:47] <Mistyck> that would be almost towards the end of the book I'd
guess
[17:47] <Mistyck> I can do it Katherine, I have loads of free time at
work right now
[17:48] <KK> That would be a big help, Mistyck. Thanks a bunch!
Particularly interested in what I said about previous ownership.
[17:48] <Mistyck> will do.
[17:48] <Mistyck> do you want me to also google what I can find out
about it from historical stuff?
[17:48] <Mistyck> if anything like that exists that is
[17:49] <RainbowDragon> KK, when do you make the actual move to
Staunton?
[17:50] <KK> You can give it a try. I know where it went after Dundee
was killed, to France. Just can't remember whether I talked about
where John Graham got it.
[17:51] <KK> We're planning to leave here around the 2nd week in
March; will be living at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel in Staunton until
we take possession of the house on March 31. Critters will board here
until it's time to send them on to us early in April.
[17:51] <Mistyck> I'll re-read Lammas Night also just to be on the
safe side
[17:51] <RainbowDragon> okay, thank you :-)
[17:51] <KK> It wasn't mentioned in Lammas, I know.
[17:52] <Mistyck> ok
[17:53] * Mistyck has gotten really good at ferretting things off
google lately--even got chided by a newspaper columnist in Houston to
not pass on personal info about sports celebrities that I may know...
[17:53] <kirienne> back
[17:54] <Mistyck> I don't know those celebrities--found the info while
googling in another newspaper
[17:54] <KK> Oh, Scott gets his 2nd cataract surgery 2 weeks from
tomorrow, so that'll all be squared away before we move.
[17:54] <Mistyck> good to hear
[17:54] <Barticus> hey all I need to vamoose, y'all have a safe and
good week
[17:54] <Shiral> I noticed a passing reference was also made to the
marriageable Granddaughters of the King of Bremagne in CM
[17:54] <RainbowDragon> Thats good news
[17:54] <Mistyck> take care Bart
[17:54] <Shiral> Bye, Bart
[17:54] <Tika> cya Bart
[17:54] <Barticus> (waves to all and up to Pat)
[17:54] <Barticus> seeya
[17:54] * Barticus Quit
[17:55] <Tika> KK, is the Adept book your very next project or is the
next CM book first?
[17:55] <Tika> sorry if you've already answered this, I am a bit
behind on scoopage
[17:56] <Mistyck> good question Tika...which leads me to ask: When do
you need the background info by, Katherine?
[17:56] <KK> We don't have a contract on the next Adept book yet, but
if we get it, Debby will be able to start prosing and sending on
material for me to massage in between working on the next Morgan.
[17:56] <KK> Well spotted, Shiral. ;-)
[17:56] <Shiral> Tee hee.... The handwriting is on the wall.... even
if Brion doesn't know it, yet
[17:56] <kirienne> lol
*******
[17:57] <KK> Oh. Official word now: I have signed the contract on the
film option for Deryni Rising, so keep your fingers crossed that the
guy who optioned it can get the option picked up.
*******
[17:58] <Shiral> Or even Jehana
[17:58] <slobbit> cool!
[17:58] <Shiral> All digits crossed
[17:58] <Mistyck> woohoo!
[17:58] * slobbit crosses fingers
[17:58] <Samuel> Names of option holder(s)??
[17:58] <KK> Can't say.
[17:58] <kirienne> wooohooo, that would be so fun to see a Deryni
movie
[17:59] * ambush happy dances
[17:59] <Mistyck> it would be one movie I'd go see in the theater!
[17:59] <Shiral> Enh I'd wait for the DVD...j/k
[17:59] <Shiral> =o)
[17:59] <Mistyck> lol
[17:59] <Shiral> I'll be parked at the theater doors on opening day.
=o)
[17:59] <Tika> hah
[17:59] * KK scritches Gus, who has jumped up on her lap.
[18:00] <Mistyck> there are very few movies these days I go see, just
can't paying those ridiculous prices for mediocre movies
[18:00] <slobbit> ok, I really *am* going to bow to my sword now, so I
can get practice out of the way before we eat
[18:00] <Mistyck> hiyas Gus
[18:00] <Shiral> Night, Slobbit
[18:00] <KK> Gus says purrrr....
[18:00] <Mistyck> night Beth

[18:00] <Mistyck>
[18:00] * ambush waves to slobbit
[18:00] <slobbit> oh, I'll still be around, but not active :-)
[18:01] <kirienne> k
[18:01] <Bynw> I hope you remain very active in the movie development
there Katherine ... to make sure it stays canon
[18:01] <Mistyck> Mika just jumped off the monitor to go eat some of
her food and right away Evaine butted her head!
[18:01] <slobbit> I need breaks, to beat my head on the wall
[18:01] <Mistyck> lol, Beth!
[18:01] <Shiral> We'd all love to act as consultants for the
director...=o)
[18:02] <ambush>
[18:02] <kirienne> lol
[18:02] <KK> I need to sign off now. It's after Pumpkin Time, and the
cats want to go to bed.
[18:02] <slobbit> bye kk
[18:02] <Bynw> night KK
[18:02] <Mistyck> take care Katherine and thanks for stopping by
[18:02] <Dov> Take care Katherine
[18:02] <Mistyck> have a great week
[18:02] <Shiral> Whether the director would like that is a whole
'nother thing, of course
[18:02] * ambush waves to kk
[18:02] <kirienne> night night and hugs KK, thanks for coming
[18:02] <Shiral> night, kk

a shower of green sparkles.
