[15:14] <Wrengl> and the house?
[15:14] <the_Bee> who's Dan?
[15:14] <KK> We decided at the last minute (on Thursday) to go to Scotland
on Friday, coming back Monday, as that was a 3-day weekend here, and the
builders were already off.
[15:14] <Wrengl> and writing?
[15:14] <Wrengl> meant how is your dad
[15:14] <Wrengl> chilly fingers
[15:14] <KK> My dad is fine; Scrappy is fine.

[15:14] <Shiral> And the universe according to Katherine, you forgot to ask
that one, Pat
[15:14] <Wrengl> good

[15:15] <Wrengl> meant lol shiral
[15:15] <Shiral> Glad that all two foots and four foots are recuperating wel
[15:15] <KK> In Scotland, worked with DTH on the proposal for the Adept
prequel, which is taking shape.
[15:15] *** Martine has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[15:15] <DeryniBot> Chocolate, Cats, and Cheese just a few of our favorite
things here Martine
[15:15] <Shiral> Your fingers must REALLY be chilly

[15:15] <kirienne> hi Martine
[15:15] <Shiral> Hi Martine!
[15:15] <Sedina> hi Martine
[15:15] <Wrengl> hi martine
[15:15] <Martine> hi! huggles all!
[15:15] <Shiral> COOOL!!
[15:15] <Rebecka> that's good on the adept prequel...
[15:15] <Wrengl> nifty katherine
[15:15] * Dov grins at that
[15:16] <TerryOBrien> Good news about the Adept prequel.
[15:16] <Rebecka> i miss adam
[15:16] <Wrengl> is that instead of adept 6?
[15:16] <KK> No contract yet, of course, but my agent has indicated that Ace
is open to the idea.
[15:16] <Wrengl> oh good
[15:16] <Debbie-VB> That's good news Katherine. of course any news about
your books is good news
[15:16] <KK> Set in the 1880's.
[15:16] <Wrengl> us adept fans are waiting brethlessly
[15:16] <Rebecka> yes we are
[15:16] <Shiral> A marvelous era =o)
[15:16] <kirienne> hopefully the contract will come soon
[15:16] <Dov> even so
[15:16] <Shiral> Any relatives of Adam's in it?
[15:16] <Mistyck> yep yep
[15:16] <KK> DTH has been teaching the gothic novel at St. Andrews, so is up
to speed on that period.
[15:17] *** Ghostgames has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[15:17] <DeryniBot> Hey Ghostgames - Welcome to the Deryni Destinations
chat!
[15:17] <Mistyck> cool!
[15:17] <Rebecka> that's cool
[15:17] <Shiral> Hello Ann
[15:17] <Mistyck> hi Ann
[15:17] <Sedina> hi Ann
[15:17] <Wrengl> hi ann
[15:17] <Debbie-VB> hi ann
[15:17] <kirienne> hi Ann
[15:17] <Martine> hi ann!
[15:17] <TerryOBrien> Hiya Ann.
[15:17] <Rebecka> hi
[15:17] <Mistyck> hi Martine, you snuck in on me!
[15:17] <Dov> hi
[15:17] <Wrengl> lol mistyck
[15:17] <Ghostgames> hi, all!
[15:18] <RainbowDragon> Hi, Martine
[15:18] <RainbowDragon> Hi, Ghostgames
[15:18] <TerryOBrien> Ann, have you had a chance to look at the DVD I sent?
[15:18] <the_Bee> speaking of the Adept, I have a question: Since John
Graham's only son (only child?) died in Lammas Night, how could he have a
great-grandaughter in the Templar Treasure?
[15:18] <Mistyck> Ann: how goes the Atlas and Deryni Adventures?
[15:18] <Martine> Katherine - when I sent you the general castle layout, I
completely forgot Ann had to rotate it on the city map! :-P
[15:18] <Shiral> Any inspiration for Childe Morgan arise from the Scottish
trip, Katherine?
[15:18] <Martine> The library now faces south instead of west into the
stable yard <sheepish grin>
[15:18] <KK> Got the tile in the upstairs bathroom in the flat done this
week. Hopefully, windows willcome this week.
[15:18] <Wrengl> a daughter bee
[15:18] <Martine> Whoo hoo! Construction progresses :-)
[15:18] <kirienne> we had the last day of regular Sunday school today, I
gave the kids a party...it made my day to have one of the youngest boys cry
because he wasn't going to see "Miss Geri" during the summer program
[15:19] <Shiral> ALWAYS a good thing
[15:19] <the_Bee> never mentioned before?
[15:19] <Wrengl> possible bee
[15:19] <KK> Martine, send me the revised plan please.
[15:19] <Ghostgames> Terry: Yes, thanks! Boy, was I nervous! I'm glad you
didn't pan the camera to catch me going down the aisle to the podium or back
again to my seat (I almost fainted going back to my seat!). :-)
[15:19] <Rebecka> i have to find my adept books so i can reread
them...although right now that's hard as brian is making new book cases
[15:19] <KK> I'm in the process of reviewing Chapter 2 of the gaming book.
[15:20] <Wrengl> if she were not germaine to the story in lammas night
[15:20] <Martine> I will when I've got it figured out. The only way to make
the library face west into the yard is to put it in the gatehouse.
[15:20] <Mistyck> cool, kk!
[15:20] <TerryOBrien> Ann, there wasn't enough light in the audience to even
think about getting shots there.
[15:21] * the_Bee is surprised. LN mentioned at least one other character
who didn't appear: Michael's brother Peter
[15:21] <kirienne> glad to hear gaming book is coming along nicely
[15:21] <Rebecka> yes
[15:21] <Wrengl> but i believe that was to explain his absence
[15:21] * Mistyck would really like to see the gaming book done :)
[15:21] <Shiral> Nancy just sent me chapter four
[15:21] <Wrengl> else he would have been there
[15:21] <TerryOBrien> Maybe this year, however. I'm talking with Nicole
about changing the environment for the awards show this year.
[15:21] <Dov> now that's interesting
[15:22] * Debbie-VB is waiting eagerly for the gaming book even if she
seldome does RPGs anymore
[15:22] <KK> granddaughter by a step-child, Bee.
[15:22] <Wrengl> ah
[15:22] <Wrengl> thanks katherine
[15:22] <kirienne> same here Debbie...I have no one here to game with, none
of my friends do any of that
[15:23] <TerryOBrien> Here, I've got plenty of gaming friends, but no Deryni
fans among them.
[15:23] <Shiral> I've only played the game at Darkover
[15:23] <Wrengl> so have i shiral
[15:23] <Debbie-VB> I did enjoy doing that bit of role-playing at Darkover
last fall
[15:23] <Martine> Ditto
[15:23] <KK> Oh. Good news re Augustus. His biopsy results came back
negative for any of the nasty stuff, and his swollen gland has gone back to
normal.
[15:23] <the_Bee> then why wouldn't they need to explain Gray's daughter's
absense? Assuming she was raised in the old faith, I'd expect her to be
part of the group
[15:23] <Wrengl> but not from lack of trying
[15:23] <Martine> Excellent, Katherine! I'm so glad to hear that.
[15:23] <Shiral> Hooray! Glad Gus is okay, Katherine
[15:23] <kirienne> that si sooo good to hear about Gus KK
[15:23] <Shiral> he's much too young for serious health problems
[15:23] <Debbie-VB> Good for gus-cat
[15:23] <Wrengl> glad to hear that katherine
[15:23] <KK> So we think it was probably swollen from a transient infection
somewhere else in his body, that responded to the antibiotics and just took
a few weeks to disspate from the swollen gland.
[15:24] <Wrengl> be she could be part of another group
[15:24] <Shiral> Cesca sends Gus a whisker rub
[15:24] <TerryOBrien> She could have been too young at the time. Or sent
away for safety.
[15:24] <the_Bee> OOps. gues it pays to read before writing. thanks, KK
[15:24] <Wrengl> lol bee
[15:25] <Martine> I'd send Rowena's greetings to Gus, too, but based on her
meeting with Arwen, Rowena greetings consist of both forepaws flying! <g>
[15:25] <Wrengl> lol
[15:25] <Rebecka> heh
[15:25] <kirienne> Bee, I have trouble with that too, I have to look at the
keyboard to type, then miss any new things others ahve typed
[15:25] <Mistyck> good for Gus-cat!
[15:25] <Ghostgames> Good news about Gus, glad to hear it!
[15:25] <KK> Rowena has reason to greet other cats with her claws.
Over-friendliness might have cost her that lost eye.
[15:25] <Shiral> Cesca says striped cats must stick together
[15:25] <Wrengl> hooligan says to tell arwen he has not had time to fullfill
the contract, martine
[15:26] <the_Bee> Am I correct that the Earl of Selwyn in Adept TT is Peter
Jordan?
[15:26] <kirienne> LOL Martine...so i take it their meeting was less than
cordial?
[15:26] <KK> Yes, Bee.
[15:26] <Martine> It's possible, Katherine. My vet thinks she was born that
way or lost it as a very young kitten. She may have had a bad early cat
meeting!
[15:26] <Martine> Kirienne, Arwen hissed and growled. Rowena lunged with
both forepaws. It ended with yowling and squealing in the basement.
[15:26] <KK> Born without one eye?!
[15:27] <Ghostgames> I'm dealing with a horse lameness (Zephyr, my young
horse) and an old horse who, after getting his hock injected for arthritis,
is feeling young again -- to the point of almost being a pain! I jumped him
in a lesson (over cross country fences! woo-hoo!) last night, and he was so
happy to be jumping again that he landed bucking after every one!
[15:27] <Martine> ouch, ann!
[15:27] <Shiral> Yikes
[15:27] <Shiral> Although I'm glad the shot was beneficial
[15:27] <Rebecka> ow
[15:27] <KK> Yikes. I have that!
[15:27] <Debbie-VB> You definitly do not need a buck right after a jump
[15:27] <KK> The bucking while landing.
[15:27] <Martine> Katherine, from the way her eye socket developed and
filled in, my vet thinks she didn't have an eye very long and spent most of
her growth stage without it.
[15:27] <kirienne> yikes Ann
[15:28] <KK> Hmm. Might have been an early infection, when she was very
tiny.
[15:28] <Martine> Could have been. She also may have had bad interactions
with cats who saw her as a one-eyed easy target.
[15:28] <Ghostgames> The saddle fits Shazaam well (which is why I use it on
him) but it's not very comfortable. Add some bucks and some less than
stellar riding on my part and I'm um, a little bit bruised where you
definitely don't want any bruising...
[15:28] <KK> Hate, not have--bucking while landing.
[15:28] <Mistyck> ick!
[15:28] <Shiral> Ouch, Ann
[15:28] <Martine> LOL, Ann! Did you forget your seat saver?
[15:28] <Rebecka> whoops
[15:29] <Shiral> I WAS wondering, Katherine =o)
[15:29] * Debbie-VB sends Ann some anti-bruse woodgies
[15:29] <kirienne> oh ann, ouch !!!
[15:29] <Shiral> You don't seem like the bucking type
[15:29] <Martine> Buck on landing can be hard to sit sometimes.
[15:30] <Shiral> Sometimes, just plain landing can be hard to sit
[15:30] <Mistyck> yep
[15:30] <KK> I don't like bucking at any time.
[15:30] <Ghostgames> I was laughing so hard it didn't matter. :-) It was SO
good to feel him feeling that good again (I stopped riding him regularly 4
years ago when I hit my top weight because he was feeling old and I was
feeling fat...). And it was REALLY good to actually being enjoying
jumping -- dunno why (maybe all that riding in Ireland!) but I wasn't very
nervous at all! Jumping's FUN when you're not spending all your energy
/making/ yourself point the horse at every jump while your stomach roils in
protest....
[15:30] <Martine> LOL! Especially on my stable's greenest horse. He tends to
jump sideways <g>
[15:30] *** Olympia has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[15:30] <DeryniBot> Chocolate, Cats, and Cheese just a few of our favorite
things here Olympia
[15:30] <Shiral> Hello, Olympia
[15:30] <Debbie-VB> well you all would know more about that then I would.
I've been on horse-back exactly once
[15:30] <Olympia> Greetings!
[15:30] <Rebecka> hi
[15:30] <KK> hee-hee! nancy!
[15:30] <the_Bee> hi Olympia
[15:31] <kirienne> hi Nancy
[15:31] <Martine> Jumping's a LOT of fun when you don't have to worry about
yourself OR the horse <g>
[15:31] <Mistyck> hiyas Nancy
[15:31] <Wrengl> hi nancy
[15:31] <Martine> hi nancy!
[15:31] <Olympia> Oooo! Katherine! I saw Gabrielle yesterday and her three
kids - all grown up!
[15:31] <Sedina> hi Nancy
[15:31] <the_Bee> has a horse ever cleared a jump sideways?
[15:31] <Shiral> Not intentionally
[15:31] <Olympia> And Kathy (Jessica Llyrindi) and Fran, and Arabella
[15:31] <KK> Argh! I guess they would be. Does that make us old-er? ;-)
[15:31] <Wrengl> not at all
[15:32] <Olympia> and Aurelia showed up in a pale yellow QUIANA dress that
used to be yours <grin>
[15:32] <Martine> Bee, Midnight approaches on a perpendicular path. He just
manages to somehow move SIDEWAYS while in mid-air. Don't ask me how. We
haven't figured it out yet!
[15:32] <Wrengl> we stood still while they grew up
[15:32] <Olympia> Hi everyone! We had an "Old Timers Tourney" here in Caid
yesterday
[15:32] <KK> Arabella? Cool. How's she doing?
[15:32] <Olympia> And Morven 'n Charles armed up and fought!
[15:32] <Olympia> Arabella, Kristin 'n Robear all live in this sort of
ranch/farm
[15:32] <kirienne> bet that was fun Nancy
[15:32] <KK> I'll bet Morven hasn't change at all, other than to get greyer.
[15:32] <Olympia> we had a candlelight Harry Potter quest for the revel
[15:33] <Ghostgames> Martine -- I gave my seat saver to Karen who needed it
more due to some difficulties she's been having recently... Come to think of
it, she decided to use her sheepskin seat saver for the jumping lesson (we
trucked the horses to a group lesson), so my gel "Tush Cush" was available,
I'll definitely use it next time!
[15:33] <TerryOBrien> Martine, it sounds like you horse is trying to high
jump the hurdle.
[15:33] <Olympia> Terry looks pretty much the same. Richard (my ex) was
there
[15:33] <Shiral> What, did you have to search for the Goblet of Fire?
[15:33] <KK> Arabella lives with them? Cool. Is Ximena still around?
[15:33] <Dov> wow arabella! don't know names, but i love the sca
[15:33] <Martine> Terry, I try not to ride Midnight too much. There've been
a few times when I've barely stuck the landing!
[15:33] <Olympia> and I saw peacocks 'n chickens 'n emus 'n a donkey 'n
horses 'n dogs 'n cats - it was VERY rustic. No both Piers and Ximena are
gone from us.
[15:34] <Olympia> Let's see what else - oh yeah - I'll be in the Barony of
Stonemarche (Salem, NH) for about four months :)
[15:34] <KK> Ah. I knew about Piers; hadn't heard that Ximena had passed
on.
[15:34] <KK> (Sorry, guys. This is SCA catch-up.)
[15:34] <Martine> And Nancy, if you don't come down here for sushi, you can
bet I'll be up there knocking on your door!
[15:34] <Rebecka> no prob
[15:34] <Mistyck> it's cool, KK..
[15:35] <Olympia> I think she did - I'll ask Gabrielle - you should see her
kids!!!!! (yep - sorry - Katherine 'n I got um sorta way back on this)
[15:35] <Shiral> You'll be knocking the door DOWN, Martine <G>
[15:35] <Dov> not aproblem, katherine
[15:35] * Mistyck has been getting involved in the SCA recently
[15:35] <Olympia> Heh! John and I are driving from L.A. to Salem the week of
July 18th - with a stop in Canton, Ohio!!!
[15:35] <Shiral> Possibly with a battering ram
[15:35] <kirienne> tis ok KK, one of my dearest friends who lives in Yakima
WA is in SCA, she tells me about things. i find it all very interesting
[15:35] <the_Bee> KK & Nancy: Which ones have 2 legs and which have 4?
[15:35] <Mistyck> Dov introduced me to the local Houston Chapter last month
[15:35] <Shiral> What's in Canton Ohio?
[15:35] <Rebecka> i'm used to it..as i have two members of the D'mer
household show up on my doorstep every once in a while...
[15:35] <Ghostgames> KK (and Nancy and Martine and anyone else coming to
Boston for World Con) -- we have GOT to set aside a day before or after the
convention to go to the Lord of the Rings exhibit that will be at the Museum
of Science!
[15:35] <Olympia> gasp!
[15:35] <Olympia> what's in canton,oh!
[15:36] <Olympia> The Football Hall of Fame!
[15:36] <KK> That's a definite yes, Ann.
[15:36] <Shiral> Okay, well, I know NOTHING about Football
[15:36] <Martine> Absolutely, Ann!
[15:36] <Martine> And we've gotta figure it out quick so I can request the
time off work before and/or after.
[15:36] <Olympia> Conrad will be at Worldcon too
[15:36] <Debbie-VB> OOoooooo that dso sounds like it would be totally
interesting Ann. wonder if it will get to our big science museam?
[15:36] * kirienne is jealuou of those getting to see the LOTR exhibit, and
getting to go to worldcon
[15:36] <KK> I can do it before or after, so long as I know which.
[15:37] <the_Bee> all I need to know is my tram won the superbowl ;o)
[15:37] <the_Bee> my team too
[15:37] <Martine> Eek! I've got to reserve my WorldCon ticket!
[15:37] <Shiral> That's a talented tram, bee <G>
[15:37] <the_Bee> me too
[15:37] <KK> But you're staying with us at Ann's, though, right, so we can
have out slumber party?!
[15:37] <Olympia> Oh and when we come back to CA, it turns out that Morven
is a big hockey fan (who knew?)
[15:38] <Olympia> So John 'n he will be hockey buddies
[15:38] <KK> Amazing.
[15:38] <Olympia> Sherri doesn't let him smoke his pipe in the house so he's
been relegated to a converted room in the garage.
[15:38] <KK> Are you keeping your apartment, or getting a new one once the
two of you move back?
[15:38] <Martine> Absolutely, Katherine! :-)
[15:38] <Martine> My John will stay home with the kitties and his referee
whistle.
[15:38] <Olympia> I'm leaving this vale of woe (with the horrible downstairs
neighbor and the high rent) and we will find somewhere new when we return,
possibly in Camarillo or Carlsbad
[15:39] <Sedina> and his water gun, Martine?
[15:39] <KK> Ah. Excellent.
[15:39] <Martine> and especially the water gun <g>
[15:39] <Shiral> Poor Arwen and Rowena <G>
[15:39] <Olympia> Assuming we survive the road trip, we'll be in NH for
about 4 months while I get a house full of 40 yrs o' stuff ready to sell!
[15:39] <Sedina> that's great, Nancy...you'll have to remember to keep us
up-to-date on your address
[15:40] <Shiral> Definitely
[15:40] <kirienne> from the sounds of it, poor John
[15:40] <Olympia> Oh, I'm ALWAYS reachable via the internet :)
[15:40] <Sedina> well, yes, but it's hard to send cards through the internet
:)
[15:40] * Debbie-VB wonders if she has nancy's e-mail
[15:40] <Olympia> I told my friends here it will be like nothing has changed
:)
[15:40] <Olympia>
[15:40] <Martine> John's having a great time playing "mercenary", Kirienne.
[15:40] <KK> We call it the God-gun here at Holybrooke, because the cats
don't know where the water comes from, so it must be God.
[15:40] <Olympia> Mercenary?
[15:40] <kirienne> LOL, well that's good at least
[15:41] <Olympia> ahhh the god gun - katherine is deadly with that
[15:41] <Rebecka> heh
[15:41] <Sedina> lol water guns don't work with my cats
[15:41] <Martine> I forgot about that, Katherine! That's a great name for
John's gun, because he got one of those big huge super soakers that require
a mop for cleanup :-P
[15:41] <Shiral> Don't let a God gun fall into Torenthi hands...
[15:41] <Ghostgames> Shadow completely ignored the super soaker that we
soaked half the kitchen with in our last attempt to discourage him from
getting up on the counters.
[15:41] <KK> Gus practically turned himself inside-out the first time Scott
had to zap him.
[15:41] <Olympia> It's not unlike watching Hermione cast a spell
[15:41] <Rebecka> they don't work with the furball or the purrball
either..yana on the other hand...
[15:41] <Martine> rotfl, katherine!
[15:41] <Mistyck> I will have to try that with Evaine
[15:42] <Sedina> lol Katherine
[15:42] <Mistyck> she hates water
[15:42] <Martine> They don't work on Arwen either. Her fur's too think.
Rowena's a different story. She thinks John is a wet demon from hell now <g>
[15:42] <Olympia> roflmao
[15:42] <KK> We actually use one of those spritzer bottles with the nozzle
turned to a tight stream.
[15:42] <Rebecka> heh
[15:42] <Martine> too thick, too
[15:42] <Mistyck> she even thinks twice when thirsty
[15:42] <the_Bee> thinking fur? smart cat!
[15:42] <Shiral> LOL
[15:42] * Dov chuckles
[15:42] <Martine> She is smart enough to be scary, Bee <grin>
[15:42] <Martine> Rowena on the other hand.... :-P
[15:42] <Shiral> It's funny, Pan has picked up the habit of patting the
surface of the water in his water dish from Cesca
[15:42] <Rebecka> yana loves water guns and the water hose...being out in
the rain on the other hand...
[15:42] <Shiral> He NEVER used to do that
[15:42] <Martine> ./;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
[15:43] <Martine> Sorry. Guess Rowena objected to my calling her "not as
smart as Arwen" <g>
[15:43] <KK> Was that Rowena's comment?
[15:43] <Shiral> LOL
[15:43] <Rebecka> heh
[15:43] <Olympia> In answer to a question asked a bit ago, no we didn't
quest for the Goblet of Fire; we were doing our final exams at the Hogwarts
Adult Night School :)
[15:43] <Sedina> I'm still half expecting to be taking a bath and end up
with a Bueller in the tub with me
[15:43] <Shiral> Wow, she used the SEMICOLON too. She must be furious
[15:43] <Olympia> Geh, Kim - wet cat!
[15:43] <Martine> AND she hit the enter key!
[15:43] <Shiral> Oh, okay, Nancy
[15:44] <KK> lol, olympia.
[15:44] <kirienne> LOL Nancy, sounds like a very fun time
[15:44] <Shiral> Remedial Spells?
[15:44] <Olympia> It was AWESOME - we had these little battery operated
"candles" and we had five "exam's
[15:44] * Martine pictures Nancy in a remedial flying broomstick lesson
[15:44] <Sedina> lol
[15:44] <Rebecka> heh
[15:44] <Olympia> ha ha ha /thwak oops sorry Miss Martine
[15:44] <Shiral> Hang on tight
[15:44] <Debbie-VB> I had a kitty-cat who loved to play with my toes while I
was bathing. She ended up wet a few times, which she did NOT appreciate in
the least thankyouverymuch
[15:44] <Martine> ow!
[15:44] <Olympia> And the horses (real horses) were all decked out - one was
a unicorn!
[15:44] <Dov> eek
[15:45] <Shiral> Cool
[15:45] <KK> So, what kines of questions did they ask on the exams?
[15:45] <Dov> impressive
[15:45] <KK> kinds of questions--not cows.
[15:45] <Shiral> Magical cows would be a bit much
[15:45] <Olympia> oh the first test was to identify the Fumets of Mythical
Creatures
[15:45] <Olympia> (fumets = poop)
[15:45] <Olympia> So...
[15:45] <Shiral> LOL
[15:45] <Martine> I was all aflutter waiting for bovine questions
[15:45] <Olympia> There were jars 'n boxes of stuff - like chocolate bits
(Brownie poop)
[15:45] <Martine> lol!
[15:45] <Olympia> and goldfish crackers (mermaid poop)
[15:45] <Wrengl> indeed ann
[15:45] <Dov> lol
[15:46] <Sedina> lol
[15:46] <Rebecka> heh
[15:46] <Shiral> LOL
[15:46] <Olympia> I will NEVER be able to eat goldfish crackers again!
[15:46] <Wrengl> i have my handicap scooter all rented already and paid for
[15:46] <Debbie-VB> rotfl!
[15:46] <Martine> lmao!!!
[15:46] <KK> rotflmao
[15:46] <Shiral> Nor will I
[15:46] <Rebecka> hee hee
[15:46] <Olympia> We have Morven 'n Amina to thank for those!
[15:46] <KK> Might have known.
[15:46] <Olympia> (The Terry and Sherri we were talking about)
[15:46] <KK> Soulds like it's getting more like the old days already.
[15:46] <kirienne> that is sooo funny, well did you get good marks on your
exams?
[15:46] <Olympia> Oh and we got majorly stumped - there was a jar of
jewels - we thought it was dragon poop but it was gnome poop
[15:47] <Martine> gnome?
[15:47] <Rebecka> heh]
[15:47] <Martine> Why gnome?
[15:47] <Olympia> There were ashes (phoenix poop but we thought the charcoal
was) - 'cuz dragons don't actually EAT jewels - don't ask
[15:47] <KK> They're the ones who guard riches.
[15:47] <Olympia> yep
[15:47] <TerryOBrien> I would love to stay and chat, but I need to go get
dinner.
[15:47] <the_Bee> rocks. they eat them
[15:47] <Shiral> Bye, Terry
[15:47] <KK> Night, Terry.
[15:47] <TerryOBrien> Good night, all.
[15:47] <Martine> bye Terry
[15:47] <kirienne> see ya Terry
[15:47] <the_Bee> seeya terry
[15:47] <Rebecka> later
[15:47] <Debbie-VB> Nighters Terry
[15:47] <Dov> night terry
[15:47] <Shiral> Must have been some INTERESTING discussions
[15:47] <Olympia> So the next station was Spells (Jessica had that) - mind
you this is all -- bye Terry! - out in the country so it was lit by stars 'n
candles
[15:47] <RainbowDragon> Bye, Terry
[15:48] <Wrengl> night terry
[15:48] <Olympia> and little tents full of cool stuff
[15:48] <Sedina> bye Terry
[15:48] <Mistyck> g'nite Terry
[15:48] *** TerryOBrien has left #Deryni_Destinations
[15:48] <Olympia> We had to match spells names with pictures from the movie
which appeared on a "magic box"
[15:48] <Olympia> and we got chocolate afterwards to fortify us
[15:48] <Olympia> which was a BAD thing 'cuz the next test was Potions
[15:48] <KK> That sounds like a good part.
[15:48] <kirienne> lol
[15:48] <the_Bee> are you sure it wasn't brownie poop?
[15:48] <Martine> Potions??? <lol>
[15:48] <Rebecka> heh
[15:48] <Wrengl> lol
[15:49] <Olympia> Four bottles and we had to ID what was in them. THAT was
very embarassing. Yes I'm sure 'cuz it was in BIG chunks <grin>
[15:49] <Martine> I'll take Mexican potions for $500!
[15:49] <Shiral> I'm giving up brownies for a while, I think...
[15:49] <Sedina> this is sounding like it was a riot
[15:49] <Debbie-VB> Sounds like a good time was had by all
[15:49] <Rebecka> yes it does
[15:49] <KK> So, what <was> in the bottoles?
[15:49] <Olympia> Sigh I really goofed on this one. The first one had no
smell or taste...
[15:49] <Olympia> I thought it was um cooking oil.
[15:49] <KK> bottles, even. Rented fingers tonight.
[15:49] <Olympia> It was water :(
[15:49] <kirienne> lol
[15:49] <the_Bee> water?
[15:49] <Wrengl> lol
[15:49] <Olympia> The second we thought was vinegar; it was lemon juice
[15:50] <Olympia> The third was raspberry flavoring
[15:50] <Shiral> Snape will be SOO disappointed, Nancy. You're his star
pupil
[15:50] <Wrengl> not verrA good were ya?
[15:50] <Olympia> actually i was awful at this one
[15:50] <Martine> I guess all that poop tasting destroyed your taste buds!
<g>
[15:50] <KK> Guess you flunked Potions.
[15:50] <Wrengl> lol
[15:50] <Shiral> At least they weren't your o.w.l's
[15:50] <kirienne> did that mean you had to have detention with Snape?
[15:50] <Rebecka> heh
[15:50] <Debbie-VB> well those two are a bit closer toeach other then oil
and dihydrogen monoxide are
[15:50] <Wrengl> true enough
[15:50] <Olympia> The fourth was weird - tinted blue, faint taste - it was
brown sugar dissolved in water!
[15:50] <Shiral> LOL
[15:50] <Olympia> So we have two tests left... we got to Myths & Legends -
[15:51] <Olympia> Oh Katherine yuo should have seen Charles of Dublin all
done up like a wizard and we had to tell a story or recite a poem or whoo
hoo sing! Got FULL marks on THAT one!
[15:51] <Olympia> (Oh Cristobal 'n Larry say hi too)
[15:51] <Olympia> The final exam was a mini-live chess game - we were given
a Queen, 2 rooks and 2 pawns.
[15:52] <Olympia> Thank heaven we had Master Aldred with us - he's a chess
genius so we scored serious major points in that - mate in 6 moves
[15:52] <Rebecka> cool
[15:52] <Olympia> and (we were Hufflepuff) we won the House Cup!
[15:52] <Olympia> and ... get this ... we got WANDS! and Feathers!

[15:53] <Rebecka> chess is fun...
[15:53] <Dov> when you took a piece, did the piece get to fight back?
[15:53] <Olympia> It was a Robear 'n Kristin production of course - so it
was amazing
[15:53] <Olympia> Well not exactly, Dov, but the opponent pieces sure talked
a lot!!!!
[15:53] <kirienne> rotfl
[15:53] <Wrengl> i usually get beaten like grant at cold harbor when i play

[15:54] <KK> That is so clever! Wish I could have been there!
[15:54] <Olympia> I'm ok at chess until the mid-game and then I go brain
dead. Backgammon is my game.
[15:54] <Martine> Say, Bynw.... can I borrow your tesseract again? <G>
[15:54] <Rebecka> it's been so long since i've played that i'm very rusty
[15:54] <Ghostgames> brb -- doggies are hungry

[15:54] <Wrengl> of course you did
[15:55] <Bynw> sure Martine
[15:55] <Olympia> Hm, John is VERY resilient. He's a New Englander :)
[15:55] <Shiral> Good point
[15:55] <Martine> Awesome, Bynw! Thanks!
[15:55] <KK> It really was an old-timer's event, wasn't it?
[15:55] <jp> the trick s to let them win one every now and then Olympia
[15:55] * Martine goes back to her task of relocating the royal library...
[15:55] <Wrengl> lol martine
[15:55] <Rebecka> be right back want to make sure yana didn't leave the door
open to downstairs for the furball and purrball to come down here
[15:55] <Olympia> bah! never, jp
[15:55] <Wrengl> btw i think i have decided to have a party on sat at
worldcon
[15:55] <Olympia> I am a horrible loser and a worse winner - ask Katherine
[15:56] * Shiral makes note never play chess with Nancy
[15:56] <KK> She does not lie. ;-)
[15:56] <Wrengl> only problem is before or after the hugos, which i don't
attend
[15:56] * the_Bee passes around flagons of nut brown to toast the victors
[15:56] <Olympia> Cool, Pat! but I have a question and please forgive me for
being a weenie but will there be smoking in the room?
[15:56] <jp> from the grind them into the dirt school of winning?
[15:56] <Olympia> Oh yeah, JP - big time
[15:56] <Olympia> Sun sign is Cancer but it's with Leo Rising :)
[15:57] <Rebecka> back..silly puppy..i go to close the door, she goes
upstairs before i close it..
[15:57] <Martine> Nancy - remind me to only play *cooperative* computer
games with you! <g>
[15:57] <Bynw> Martine, you playing in the idle rpg again tonight?
[15:57] <Olympia> One of the reasons I didn't pursue a fighting career in
the SCA is that I have THE worst rhinohide ever! I know the opponent has hit
me but ha ha! it was a glance
[15:57] <Rebecka> brian is trying to figure out if he wants to go into the
costume contest.
[15:57] <Debbie-VB> I much prefer co-operative computer games too Martine
[15:58] <Olympia> "idle rpg"?
[15:58] <the_Bee> cancer sun, Leo rising--sun in 12th house of charity,
mysticism, hospitals and secret enemies
[15:58] <Martine> Ack! Bynw, I just noticed that my login script to dump me
in the rpg channel didn't save. What's the channel name again?
[15:58] <jp> ?
[15:58] <Olympia> heh! Is that you, Bee?
[15:58] <Shiral> Olympia, I hope you're happy. I'm having to feed a Legion
of Torenthi Dukes and Counts
[15:58] <Martine> Or better yet - the URL for the page that tells me how to
log into it?
[15:58] <Olympia> Yeah and you hate it, Shiral dear
[15:58] <Bynw> martine #idlerpg
[15:58] <Shiral> Well, they're ALWAYS hungry
[15:58] <Debbie-VB> well you will insist on bringing them over shiral
[15:58] <Olympia> Wot's an Idlerpg
[15:59] <Olympia> They're like that, Shiral. I recommend chocolate
[15:59] <Martine> And Shiral, I'll bet you HATE how they always insist on
dressing in leather <g>
[15:59] <Olympia> lots and lots of chocolate
[15:59] <Olympia> and those puffy white shirts
[15:59] <the_Bee> no, it's whoever Nancy was describing
[15:59] <Bynw> Olympia, see the PM
[15:59] <Shiral> It gets a little crowded is all
[15:59] <Shiral> They all think my castle is too dinky and they're right
[15:59] <Olympia> heh! that would be me I was describing - better check my
12th House!
[15:59] <Debbie-VB> isa that not an RPG created by a former Python?
[15:59] *** Duck has joined #Deryni_Destinations

[15:59] <Bynw> hi Duck
[15:59] <Shiral> Hello Donald!
[15:59] <kirienne> hi Duck
[15:59] <Rebecka> hi
[15:59] <Duck> hello people
[15:59] <KK> Hello, Duck.
[15:59] <Olympia> Greetings, Donald!
[16:00] <Dov> hi duck
[16:00] <jp> hi duck
[16:00] <Shiral> Heh, actually, I DID just get a new bed <G>
[16:00] <Sedina> hi duck
[16:00] <Olympia> Ooooo with four posters 'n satin sheets?
[16:00] <Shiral> It's wonderful after years of twanging springs
[16:00] <Shiral> Not quite
[16:00] <Debbie-VB> Dyck g'Quack
[16:00] <Shiral> But it's MUCH more comfortable than the old one
[16:00] <Olympia> How goes it over there, Donald?
[16:00] <Shiral> Just plain cotton sheets, though
[16:00] <the_Bee> g'day duck!
[16:00] <Martine> hi duck!
[16:00] <Olympia> I trust that's high count Egyptian cotton!
[16:00] <KK> But bedknobs?
[16:01] <Dov> btw i hear Donald Duck turned 70 this week
[16:01] <Shiral> Oh, of course <G>
[16:01] <KK> Canopy?
[16:01] <Shiral> Umm, just a metal frame, box springs and mattress
[16:01] <Martine> Canopied curtained beds rule :-D
[16:01] <Wrengl> i can have no smoking during the party
[16:01] <Olympia> Ok I'm tempted to say metal frames can be fun but I'd
better not
[16:01] <Shiral> It's not terribly grand, but it IS comfy
[16:01] <jp> I've already eaten thank's KK
[16:01] * kirienne wishes she had a canopy bed with the fancy bed curtains
[16:01] <Wrengl> but kathy and juanita will be smoking other tiems
[16:01] <Shiral> I thank you for your restraint, Olympia. <EG>
[16:02] <Wrengl> we can probably be in hall also since it is party block
[16:02] <Olympia> If there's smoking in the room, Pat, I have to decline --
and my apologies -- but the lungs have a Not So Good reaction :(
[16:02] <jp> oh, canopy!
[16:02] * Debbie-VB asks innocently "why are metal frames more fun nancy?"
[16:02] <KK> Our lungs are definitely sisters!
[16:02] <Martine> Innocently my foot.
[16:02] <Olympia> (Nancy takes Debbie into the corner and explains it to
her...)
[16:02] <Martine> Make them triplet lungs. Asthma doesn't like smoke.
[16:02] <Shiral> LOL
[16:03] <Olympia> "And then you..."
[16:03] <Wrengl> hi duck
[16:03] <Olympia> "and if he does...."
[16:03] <Sedina> add me into that mix...my asthma has gotten far worse than
it used to be
[16:03] <Shiral> LOL
[16:03] <Sedina> lol
[16:03] <Debbie-VB> I've no6t liked the smell of tobacco smoke since I quit
about 4½ yrs ago
[16:03] <kirienne> nope, I have trouble when the neighbors in apt comples
that have fireplaces use them
[16:03] <Olympia> "Extra pillows are good too..."
[16:03] <Rebecka> heh
[16:03] <KK> Mine is greatly improved, as of my most recent asthma check.
They even reduced the strength of my inhaler.
[16:03] <Shiral> "At strategic points...."
[16:04] <Debbie-VB> conga-rats katherine
[16:04] <Rebecka> that's good
[16:04] <Duck> otherwise i'm sure pat will have some gas masks available -
she tends to have just about everything else packed into the car
[16:04] <Shiral> Not having quite so much construction dust around the house
must help, Katherine
[16:04] <Wrengl> sounds like no one will come to the party then
[16:04] <Martine> Awesome, Katherine! :-)
[16:04] <Wrengl> ;
[16:04] <Olympia> Yeah, Katherine! I suspect that 4 months or so in NH will
help mine - just being there for 10 days helped a lot
[16:04] <Wrengl> :(
[16:04] <Sedina> I wish that were my case, Katherine, but I went from not
having to use an inhaler (for the last 4 years) to having to be attached to
mine again.
[16:04] <Debbie-VB> very good news, especially tha part of less meds
[16:04] <KK> Ah, yes.
[16:04] <Wrengl> guess i will just cancel the idea
[16:04] <Olympia> Pat, what if we can find another room?
[16:04] <KK> :-( Sedina.
[16:04] <jp> think it was a reaction to all that adolecent testosterone at
Gencon last year KK?
[16:04] <Wrengl> that would work nancy
[16:04] <Ghostgames> back
[16:05] <Shiral> Bring food, and party in a non-smoking room
[16:05] <Wrengl> for darkover i will have two rooms
[16:05] <KK> No, it was the dust before I came.
[16:05] <Wrengl> but i could not afford it for worldcon
[16:05] <Sedina> I'm just hoping that it's temporary and that once this
<nasty> case of bronchitis has finally given up its grip on me, I'll be able
to go back to my relatively carefree breathing
[16:05] <Shiral> Someone will be staying in a non-smoking room, Pat
[16:05] <Olympia> The other thing we could do is fine a nearby eatery that
will give us a big table so we can carouse
[16:05] <the_Bee> I plan to request non-smoking...
[16:06] <Olympia> I hear tell the are some pretty fyne places in Boston :)
[16:06] * Debbie-VB sends Sedina some anti-bronchitis woodgies
[16:06] <Rebecka> i know that brian and i will, but..we'll have the puppy
with us, which means a crate in the room...and if brian goes into the
costume contest..there goes that thing called room altogether..
[16:06] <Wrengl> but only the sheraton has a party block bee
[16:06] <Wrengl> and they are full
[16:06] <Shiral> A lot more than in Timmonium
[16:07] <KK> But you do pretty quiet parties, Wrengl. Are no parties at all
allowed in the non-party hotels?
[16:07] <jp> KK, is there a pope in the deryni universe?
[16:07] <Olympia> No, just no Noisy Spill Into the Halls Door Open parties
[16:07] <Wrengl> no parties at all in the marriot
[16:08] * Debbie-VB remebers a little gblt party at darkover
[16:08] <Olympia> They can't keep you from having people in your room as
long as you are quiet
[16:08] <KK> There might be, far far away. But Gwynedd is more collegial,
like the Anglican communion.
[16:08] <Wrengl> even a quiet party is too noisy for a quiet block
[16:08] <Shiral> PRetend it's a Fratri Silentii party?
[16:08] <Olympia> lol
[16:08] <Wrengl> that is true nancy
[16:08] <Rebecka> heh
[16:08] <KK> Now, there's a thought.
[16:09] <Wrengl> lol shiral
[16:09] <Olympia> Of course with all that food who has a chance to talk!
[16:09] <Ghostgames> I like the idea of going out to one of the many fine
eat-and-hang-out venues in the area...
[16:09] <Shiral> They were party guys, but it was pretty hard to tell
because they never talked
[16:09] * jp note to self, swat up on Anglican communion
[16:09] * Duck "hello yes reception i heard a mouse squeak five doors down
its too loud they must be having a party"
[16:09] <Wrengl> that sounds like a good idea
[16:09] <Dov> Katherine, have you ever constructed a map that extends as far
as the Holy Land?
[16:09] <Olympia> lol! a point to donald
[16:09] <Wrengl> lol duck
[16:09] <Shiral> Communicate through semaphore flags
[16:09] <KK> Think Episcopalian, JP.
[16:09] <Wrengl> lol shiral
[16:09] <KK> no, dov.
[16:09] <Olympia> (Nancy hears the word "map" and dives into the bunker)
[16:10] <Wrengl> a restaurant would work also
[16:10] <Olympia> or wave chocolate covered chips at each other
[16:10] <Wrengl> as long as it was not overly expensive
[16:10] <KK> An eatery sounds better all the time.
[16:10] <Sedina> I can certainly supply the chippers :)
[16:10] <Shiral> Pass notes?
[16:10] <KK> Do they make chippers with dark chocolate?
[16:10] <the_Bee> sign language?
[16:10] <Dov> relax, olympia, i was just curious
[16:10] <Wrengl> you are not allowed at any deryni party kim without
chippers
[16:10] <Sedina> Katherine - yes they do
[16:10] * Shiral wishes she could go to Worldcon
[16:11] <Sedina> they also make white choc. and diabetic chippers
[16:11] <Martine> ack! chippers! help!
[16:11] <kirienne> that's about right Duck. i recall one year at Media West,
the front desk rang my room to tell us that a person in the next room was
upset over the nornal talking that goes on with more than 1 person in the
room, They heard us as they passed by our open door and complained
[16:11] <Sedina> or rather, sugar-free for diabetics
[16:11] <Olympia> Melissa, do you think you will make it to Darkover?
[16:11] <Shiral> I really don't know, Nancy
[16:11] <Olympia> :(
[16:11] <Wrengl> even the sugar free are good
[16:11] <Sedina> Pat - Widman's has gotten to recognize me for all the times
I've gone in to get chippers :)
[16:12] <Olympia> lol!
[16:12] <Shiral> We'll be closed on Sundays starting in July, which means
I'll be able to chat more freely, but it will blow something of a hole in my
budget
[16:12] <Wrengl> lol sedina
[16:12] <Rebecka> the benigans over by the Boston Park Plaza is decent..
[16:12] <KK> Do they have ice cream?
[16:12] <Martine> Ack, Shiral! Budget holes are not good.
[16:12] <Wrengl> how far is it from the sheraton, rebecka
[16:12] <Shiral> Tell me about it
[16:12] <Debbie-VB> I'm sort of planning to get back for Darkover 05
[16:12] <Rebecka> not sure on that though
[16:12] <Olympia> Ok let's see... here's the Melissa Needs a Book Contract
candle...
[16:12] <RainbowDragon> whats a chipper?

[16:13] <Bynw> candles? SOY candles ... no soot :-) from Tika
[16:13] <the_Bee> several restaurants in Back Bay. Are you looking for
fancy or pub?
[16:13] <Martine> I'm sure we'll manage to find ice cream in Boston. I
remember sharing a certain white chocolate death cake at Arisia ;-)
[16:13] <Shiral> Or boringly, a new, better paying job
[16:13] <Olympia> pub
[16:13] <KK> yum!
[16:13] <Wrengl> pub
[16:13] <Shiral> Nonsense, Ice cream is banned in BOston <G>
[16:14] <Olympia> noooo Melissa! you must do the daily affirmation thing
(I'm not kidding) and wish for the BEST
[16:14] <Duck> definitely pub
[16:14] * kirienne needs the same genie in the lamp...or money to suddenly
fall from the sky into her hands, if she is ever to attend DarkOver
[16:14] <Rebecka> pub sounds good
[16:14] <Shiral> Yes dear, but at the moment, I also seem to be going
through chapters of RPG game <G>
[16:14] <Ghostgames> there's an icecream war brewing in the boston area...
[16:14] <the_Bee> shall I do website research?
[16:14] <Olympia> Are you serious, Ann?
[16:14] <Wrengl> really ann?
[16:14] <Shiral> Some of these chapters seem....familiar, somehow <G>
[16:14] <Olympia> Ah well yes, St. Melissa... I know her...
[16:14] <Olympia> and I praise her daily
[16:14] <KK> Ann will be able to suss out the best ice cream emporium. :-)
[16:15] * Wrengl thinks she better bring extra insulin

into the area, and intend to give Ben & Jerries and Green Mountain Creamery
and Baskin Robbins runs for their money...

[16:18] <Rebecka> brian and I are planning to walk around the commons at
some point while we are up there
[16:18] <Shiral> Katherine is SO selfless <G>

incentive to keep it off... Shazaam really doesn't mind carrying me now!
[16:18] <Martine> More liek a moment on the lips, the next five months on
Weight Watchers :-P

dress again :-)
