<font color="#000000">GM: Hello there Wendy</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Hello hello!</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Might be back and forth to grab food and things : ) </font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Food is important</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Tis our livelihood, indeed</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Before things get busy, could I ask a question about NWPs?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: ALways</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Just asking someone who's more experienced gameplay wise, but in your opinion, would it be prudent for Temperance to try to fill her NWP slot as soon as she can? Or can it be something I can wait on? It hasn't been too long since her training for new spells, so I wasn't sure.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: I think it is up to you, A - filling a slot with something you KNOW you want is good B - do you actually know what you want right now?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: It also depends on what it is, because not everyone can train you in everything</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: I've said anatomy before, but I think I'm a little torn right now between law and herbalism. And yeah, it makes sense that it would depend on our resources / the NPC we're meeting up with : ) </font>

<font color="#000000">GM: nods</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Which is why I didn't want to pressure anyone into thinking she needs to fill it now. Carder siblings are kind of priority for me as a player too.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: why am I not surprised?</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: LOL</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: So it is morning</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Temperance has taken care of everyone who was nice to her</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Remember that time I was nice to ya, Tempe? 'Cause it ain't a common occurance.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: chuckles lightly, with a teasing glint in her eye.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Much appreciated. I repayed the kindness through healing.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: And that's how ya do business. Butter 'em up when ya need them.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: Thank you Temperance</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Anyways, yer hair looks lovely today.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: her eyes glint in amusement.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Learning business from the best. And you're very much welcome, Lirtimya.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: is amused.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Vee wouldn't have been in a good mood if I left the smartest without healing.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: You do know that you will reach the area you think that The Snow Man is in around noon today</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Hmm, ya learn quick. I can appreciate that.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: So y'all good to go? Done with yer shits and giggles? Ready to move?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Ready when you all are. Just let me know if you need any extra healing again.</font>

<font color="#880000">MeLange starts to sway his hips</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: I earned my healing as well, I told you how to use the staff</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: hands Melange his shield</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: On a serious note, nobody needs to earn healing. I don't mind using spells I have available to heal when necessary.</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: Oh thanks Vee!</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: nods</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: And ah, yes, I do remember that. I appreciate it, Lirtimya.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: And that gives us incentive to keep ya alive.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: But it's so fun to make them beg.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: gestures to the staff with a smile.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: And how is that fun?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Says the one who keeps flirtin' with death....</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: I flirt a lot anyways, if you hadn't noticed.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I try not to notice you.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Works 'til ya get yer blood on my boots.</font>

<font color="#6106D1">Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 8]</font> [d20 = 20]

<font color="#000000">GM: and hello Eric</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (did all of us hear and see that?)</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: Hey Ghost Monkey? Any ideas where my axe could be?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): (I rolled obs and it didn't do much... unless it was supposed to?)</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: Not that I'm suspiscious of monkeys but...</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Anyone who thinks they heard that heard that</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: How odd...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Of what? Who ya talkin' to?</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: furrows her eyebrows and looks for her journal.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Did Levi give ya some of his "mushrooms" or somethin'?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): (for Sharif, no one can see the monkey - only Claudius and Levi did during their watch - not sure anyone else does now unless they successful roll... )</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: There is no monkey</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Neat! So it is real! Or we're all sharing a allucination.</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (oh, only hear, not see?)</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: I know I saw a monkey last night... I don't understand</font>

<font color="#660066"> -> Lirtimya: Lirt is SURE that there was some sort of spiritual thing there but she could not see, only hear and cannot track it now</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: There were two live ones on top the wagon during our watch, I believe? One of them took your hand axe.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Hello mysterious bodiless voice! How can we help you?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Mushrooms. Drugs. Ya trippin'</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: There was some sort of, spiritual thing there but I can't track where</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Y'all druggies...</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: raises an eyebrow at the mention of "spiritual thing"</font>

<font color="#261A10">Ratbone Carder: Well, let</font>

<font color="#261A10">Ratbone Carder: Well, Let's look around for it</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: I think this may be time for our priests to do priest things</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Maybe Levi and Claudius' mumbling about ghost monkeys wasn't entirely untrue...</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): (Am I casting a spell for this?)</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Oh there was a monkey</font>

<font color="#418C12">Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 9]</font> [d20 = 4]

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): rolls eyes and tosses up her hands</font>

<font color="#261A10">Ratbone Carder: That was to look for MeLange's missing axe</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: rolls eyes and tosses up her hands</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: No to Wendy</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: Thanks Ratbone, I feel less crazy now</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: We gotta get a move on eventually. How long y'all want keep lookin' for this supposed ghost?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: Trust me Vee, something was here</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and No to finding Melange's axe it is gone</font>

<font color="#261A10">Ratbone Carder: Sigh. I just sifted all the leaves and twigs. It's just not here.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: Monkeys are known to be mischeivious, maybe it took the axe as a sort of play</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: kicks back and watches them search for the ghost</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: If it was, infact, a monkey it could make sense</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: Oh well, Monkeys happen I guess</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Levi and Claud both claimed they saw one durin' their shift but.... they them.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Hello!! Ghost, are you there? How can we help you?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : I would have thought it was my head getting knocked if Levi didn't start playing with the damn thing.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: At this point, I'm willing to work with any information, I didn't get a look at it, only heard it</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Lets just keep our eyes out and head out. I don't think we're going to see it again if it doesn't wan tto be found...</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): (oh hi eric!)</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: wanders about looking at random behind bushes or trees or the wagon to see if he can find the ghost.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: wanders about looking at random behind bushes or trees or the wagon to see if he can find the ghost.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Well, Levi and Claudius said they saw it at night... Perhaps we could wait until nightfall and see if they see it again?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Not a bad idea... Ghosts and stuff come out at night right?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: In the meantime, we've business with...er, the Man of the Mountains?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Some of you do, yar.</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: hi ho! hi ho!</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Come along for the trip, Ghost! It'll be fun!</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Not that kinda trip, the other kind.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Are you really a ghost monkey? Or just a ghost?</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: <To Vee> Is Rothuss going crazy?</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: nods</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Always was, just obvious now.</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): or maybe talking to a possibly imaginary ghost monkey is more entertaining than talking to you?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): nothing is more entertaining than vee</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: So whatcha all want when we find Snow?</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: To party?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Back : ) </font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Not much point coming up with something and it turns out he can't do it.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Havin' options is nice versus spendin' ten hours trying to think of them.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: That's a change. I thought you were the 'you have to know exactly what you want 10 years in advance' person?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Chuch wouldn't have sent us if he couldn't help y'all out.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Problem is ya thought.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: And honestly, I don't think the Church really gave a lot of thought to what we could or couldn't use. But it's still an interesting trip.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: We told 'em what we wanted.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: smiles</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: So they did give thought 'cause we told them exactly what kinda trainer we were after.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: We apologize if we surprised you by barging in without warning.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: As Tempe was tryin' to show you, top priestess at Church of Mists sent us to ya.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: And Claudius here was assigned to deliver a child to you, though we didn't get the full details of that assignment.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: gestures to Claudius</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Looks at Levi, So you thinlk you can tell me how I should be living my life?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Not that we didn't TRY</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : If you are the snow man then yeah I got this kid for you...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Absolutely not, but if you bought a kid for slave labor, I'll have no part of that, thanks</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Gestures to the child. The priests told me to bring him to you. Didn't say why but here he is mate. My debt is paid.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: But if I did and your friends were tasked to deliver that child to me, which they say they were, then you have no problem with me taking the child and doing what I want?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Heck no, I'll take that baby back down the mountain and those priests can get someone else to do their dirty work for them</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: So it is ok to have someone else bring a child up to me, you just to not want it to be you?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: No, I wouldn't leave this baby there, I'd find it a good home. But those priests would get a good earful first</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I'm sure if they wanted to, they'd get you another one though</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I sure would be shouting complaints to their god though</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: So you would steal the babe from me and from the church and deliver it to whom?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Probably my mom</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): brb</font>

<font color="#660066">User has gone AFK. (Shislif)</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Is she that much better than I am?</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: looks back and forth between the two, looking apprehensive.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I don't know yet, that's why I'm asking</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: You have not asked anything you have demanded</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: If someone asked you to deliver a baby to a stranger, and you didn't know why, you'd just do it? And NOT demand information?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I'll never demand another thing from you sir, but I want to make sure this child will be safe with you</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I would not have blindly believed anyone</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I tried to break the damn door down to get an answer but the GM, I mean... but they wouldn't let me</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Did you ask why this child should come to me?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: The Church has a habit of giv ing quests without bothering to explain the details, and get a bit fussy when you ask questions.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Ahh so you have learned that there is more to life than the Church? (looks at Rothuss)</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: All those mysterious church folk suddenly had a mysterious religious event I wasn't invited to</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: But believe me, I TRIED</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Honestly, the Church isn't even really in my Top Ten. But I'm with this group, and some of them have different lists.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Who are in your bottom 5?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: And I'm still pissed off they wouldn't answer my question! (coughs in a way that sounds like "BOB"... but why someone would cough like that, who knows.)</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Probably people I haven't even met yet.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: So maybe in your top 12 but not top 10?</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: shrugs.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: STABS a finger at Claudis, and why were you trusted with THIS child?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: We don't know THAT many people yet, but as for me, the more people I know, the lower the church goes on my list. Except for that one on Mizzen. That one was ok.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Sure, why not. I haven't actually codified the list. It's more of a gut feeling than a strict heirarchy.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Probably my charm friend</font>

<font color="#880000">Claudius : shrugs</font>

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: mumbles "or the way you don't ask too many questions..."</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Which charmed friend?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Look I had a debt to pay...This was how I can balance my ledger with the church..</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: So you will just do what ever the church tells you to do</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : You need a kid...I can be a delivery guy. I don't tend to aks questions.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Levi is starting to like this guy, but will never admit it.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : On this issue... yep</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : gets me out from under their thumb</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol, he does throw out questions to think about</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I appreciate that</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): he asks questions like a priest, but with more sass</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Looks at Vee, So why in the hell are you here?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Excuse you? Why ya already got attitude with me?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Because you have an attitude Ms Barlett</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Ohhhh, you know her?</font>

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: looks at Vee</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ah, fuck you. Then ya ain't surprised but that, yeah?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): *by</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Look at her face, it is way too much of a give away</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: My face is gorgeous, thanks.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: and If someone else had that face and made it this far they would be scarred too</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Brb</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Scarred by what? This damn land?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Your Pa and your Father</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: But don't worry your secret is safe with me</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: What about them?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: You need to learn how to appreciate that water is water no matter the sea or the mountain</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Looks over at Rothuss</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Yeah, yeah keep yer cryptic answers. I can find them elsewhere.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: You on the other hand</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: have no understanding do you</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: grins.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Depends on the situation.</font>

<font color="#880000">Claudius : bio break brb</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Blah blah blah. You gonna tell me what you want with the kid so I can move on to having a normal conversation with you? Or do I gotta keep being an annoying little shit? Because I can do it for a reeeeeeally long time.</font>

<font color="#660066">User has gone AFK. (e2wolfe)</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Glances over at Vee, did you ever get a more cryptic answer from your Pa?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: mutters to herself, "And he's my DAD. At least get it right."</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ain't any of yer business now ain't it.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Looks at Levi, why are you so worried about this kid when you did not get tasked with it?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Also Levi can REALLY be an annoyin' little shit. Best to placate him for everyone's sake.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Because there's a lot of gray area in the world, but putting an innocent kid in harm's way on purpose is absolutely wrong.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Nothing but sunshine and compliments, isn't she?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Thanks Vee</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Better worry about this Snow Man than me right now, Rothuss.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Dod you bother to ask why the child was coming here?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I told you, I tried to knock down the damn door where all the mysterious preists were mysteriously having some kind of mysterious event</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Ahh so you did not care enough about this child to actually DO somethign when you had the chance</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: And I tried to stay until it was over, but no one else wanted to, so we compromised. We'll ask you what the plan is, and if it seems sketch, we're out</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: ALTHOUGH NOW THEY SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT AGREEMENT</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Now you can either surrender the child to me as foretold</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: idly strums his lute.</font>

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: glares at Claudius</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: OR you can keep it for your own for the rest of its life</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Which do you want to do?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I'll take the kid</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Fair enough</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I ain't babysittin' so just give it up.</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): What did I come back to</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Good Luck</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Wait wait wait</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: How ya gonna slice and dice??</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I'm done slicing and dicing, I'm a dad now</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : I was told to give the child to you Mr. Snow</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Man</font>

<font color="#880000">Claudius : Hands child to the Snow man</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : There now you can do with it as you see fit sir.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Does not take the toddler from Claudius</font>

<font color="#880000">Claudius : holds it out awkardly and stands there</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: you will have to make ammends with your friend here Levi</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Don't make Claudius be forever in debt, Levi. Unless ya got a deal for him.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: increases the tempo slightly in a dramatic fashion.</font>

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: reaches out for the baby</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: He paid his debt</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Who should govern how this child is raise? Myself? Or Your ranger friend?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: He did what he said he would do</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ain't my kid to care.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: BUT</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: records in her notebook, looking apprehensive.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: We was hopin' you'd train them twins and whoever else. They'd be here long enough to see what ya do with the kids,</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: So why make a decision now, Levi?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : If you're asking me sir, then I say you.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Waiting quietly</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Lol, Levi's about to retire and raise a baby... so who's got ideas for my next character?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: You can SEE what Snow Dude gonna do before ya committe to dadhood. Ya know ya can't undad yerself, yeah?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : You should definately take the child your snowmanship</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Like a tattoo. It's forever.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: quote</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): (and THAT is a quote directly from my mom, to us, her children)</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: See, this is what happened back down the mountain. Y'all convinced me that we could figure it out later, and now we're at later, and look what's happening</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I'm not taking that bargain again</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): (except she said, "A tattoo on your forehead" which is ever worse, but I'm pretty sure she loves us most days... :P)</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: You know ain't easy findin' dates as a single dad.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: And I ain't at ALL a fan of travelin' with a kid.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: LOL</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Never stopped your dad</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Yeah, that ain't a convo in front of this jerkass. But my point remains.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: And that's my PA not my Dad. Ain't any of ya gonna get it right??</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Pa is Pa and Dad is Dad. How hard that to get?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: The Snow Man did</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: This is fun and all, but why exactly are you pushing poor Levi's buttons like this, Snow Man? Yeah, maybe he was a bit confrontational about it, but his heart's obviously in the right place.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): no he called Rocco her "father" and that's way too formal which is why the only parent she reserves the formal name for is her mother</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Vee. My morals are pretty shaky most of the time. I know this. But generally when I'm making shitty decisions, I'm only endangering myself and other people who are capable of deciding for themselves whether they want to be endangered by me. But this kid is too young to do that. I'm not giving it up unless I know why</font>

<font color="#880000">Ratbone Carder: Strummy strum strum</font>

<font color="#880000">Claudius : Still holding kid out arms length at the snow man</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: So Levi did you ask the church why?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I tried</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: The disappeared</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I know that, man. And I'm sayin' that we gonna be here so you can wait and see what kid does, yes?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: But you did not care enough then</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): they*</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I'm sorry, is common not your first language?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Nah, I'll take that fall for him. We paid enough to get the church to deal with us. Ain't wanna ruin that deal when we can come here for that info.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Maybe you didn't understand when I explained about trying to break the door down to get an answer</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: glances at the uncomfortable way Claudius is holding the toddler, puts away the notebook, and gently attempts to take him until decision is made.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): just standing there for five minutes holidng it at arm's length</font>

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: grabs the toddler, very awkwardly</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: You have two priests with you , you could have asked them at any time but you did not care enough to do so, you waited until the last minute</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I started asking around THE SECOND I found out</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: The church people gave me the slip</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: To be fair, one of them priests struck with the holy shits again.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: And why did you not inisist on an answer?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: You ever try gettin' answer from someone shittin' out their guts? Ain't gonna happen.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: If it was up to me, I'd still be waiting down there until they showed their faces again</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: So we are at the original reason you came to my home</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: you need something from me</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: So again, maybe you didn't understand. I... TRIED... TO... BREAK... DOWN... THE... FUCKING... DOOR... IN... THE... CHURCH</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Tried but failed</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Yep</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: are you just a failure?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Kind of yeah</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Alright, WRONG!</font>

<font color="#880000">Claudius : Sits netx to Ratbone and watches</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Then admitting that is a good first step</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): LOL</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: and we can help you move forward</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): so much sass</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Hey, I got a LOT of faults, we could talk about that for HOURS</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I have days to help you discover all your faults</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Damn, we find a therapist? Group could use one.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: It just so happens that leaving an innocent child in a situation that seems to be dangerous is not one of them</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: WHO IN THE HELLS GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO JUDGE THIS MAN LIKE THAT?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I did </font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Looks at Rothuss</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: DId you stop him from bringing the child to me?</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: winces at the raised voice and contemplates whether to try and calm the situation</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: VEE, if I told the group to do or not do something, how long would you be on the ground laughing?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Tryin' not to now.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: If it sounded fun, I'd be in</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I would not laugh at you, I would enjoy the conflict of the options</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I mean before I became a dad, anyway</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Being a father IS conflict</font>

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: pats baby awkwardly on the back</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: what you want them to do versus what you want them to learn on their own</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: You a dad?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: The group was charged with a task, we accepted the task, as a group, with Levi asking some hard questions that they refused to answer. And now that we're here, he tries to get those answers from you, and ALL YOU'RE DOING is judging him for caring enough to try.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I have been a father</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Thanks man!</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: When you could have just answered the question and finished this long agon</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Past tense 'cause this ain't yer language or 'cause they passed?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Not so long ago, not so far away</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): It's been awhile since I hated an NPC as much as that time-lord mage. But we're getting close.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: What happened to yer kids?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Damn, how frustrating was this time-lord mage?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): he hurt my sugar unicorn love all the things priestess</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Claudius what are you planning on doing if your friends take this child away from you and keep it for their own?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): who could hurt a fluff in PC form??</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Oof, yeah okay that's pretty hateful</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): he just got made that she was too pretty for him and he kept talking to her because she was SO pretty he couldn't resist</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): so then he hurt her - jerk</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): *mad</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : That's on them mate. I like em so I'll support it. My debt is paid as far as I'm concerned.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Have you given me the child?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Just to point out, you refused to take it when he tried.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I have not refused, I just have not accepted</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: laughs</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: you do realize that's the same thing, right?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I've heard that one before.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Yep. Either way, that's your problem, not Claudius's</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: or is this another language thing?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: No that is Levi's</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : I offered him to you. It was your choice to not accept him. I was to bring the child to you. Well there he is... so I did as I was asked</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Levi took him from you</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: before I could accept him</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: You had several minutes to take him and you didn't.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: rubs his fingers together.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: This is the size of the thread your argument is hanging by.</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Just for reference - to refuse (verb): indicate or show that one is not willing to do something.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Ahh so you need to make decisions instantaneously or else they do not count?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I mean, I probably would have tried to stop you, if you had. And maybe I would have died for it. But that's a different story </font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Y'all. We paid good intel to come here for trainin' so how we gonna find middleground? 'Cause we came here for a reason. And this gonna be the first hurl we get over. And goin' over semantics ain't gonna solve it.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: We have not discussed training yet</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: we are still on this point of a child in need</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Exactly. This child a hurl before we can even get to that.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: And semantics ain't help anyone find peace.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Do You or I have the better means of support</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Yer gonna have to elaborate.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: We don't know anything about you man</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: That's Question Number 1 from Levi here: is supporting/raising the child your plan? Or are you a sacrificing kind of guy?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: But I can tell you my mom was a good mom, and some of my sisters would probably be good moms, so I got a support system to help me</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: How? It is an easy question Do you think you have a better means of supporting this child than I do</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: This be what I still propose: ain't make a decision on the child yet 'til after we all get trained IF you agree to train them who wants it, yeah?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: AHH so you want to foist the child onto someone else</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: so you admit you cannot handle it</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: No man is an island</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: 'Cause if yer mom says no, Levi, or yer sisters, then yer stuck with it or sendin' it to an orphanage. And thems not always great places. We don't know yet if this might be so we stake it out.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: And we do NOT have them funds to raise a kid.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Oh I plan to stick with it. But I'm sure they will help</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Looks over at Lirtimya Do you want to raise a child with him?</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: snorts</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: It might be that my mom knows a good family who's been trying to have a baby and hasn't been able, and then maybe I could check them out and see if they'd at least tell me whether or not they want to sacrifice the kid or use it for slave labor... but if that's not an option, I'll take this responsiblity myself.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: What if this be the good family?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Yer blindly trustin' them same as church askin' you to do here.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Although Mr. Snow didn't tell me what happened to his kids, yeah? </font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: So Levi you are a maybe, you might take care of the child if you cannot find someone else to take care of it, then you might do it your self</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Maybe it is a good family. But you'd think a good family would at least try to assure you that they're going to sacrifice a fucking baby</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): god families sacrific babies?? does Levi know this language??</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: You're twisting my words</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): because on my typo, I do not either</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: My other 18 children, 14 of them have done very well, they are sucessful and productive, my other 4 I am sad that I have not been able to help them achieve that they wanted to to do</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol yes, typo! NOT sacrifice!</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Nah, ain't tryin' to but you don't think I ain't aware of what bein' a young pa does to a kid?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Damn, you either get around OR ya adopt lots.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Maybe you could get a third dad here, Vee.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Why to you think that the Church trusts me to raise a child?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Fuck you, Rothuss.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Would give you another father to get angry at.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: grins.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: They didn't say you were raising it</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: That's kind of the problem here</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: There ya go, Levi. Got him to admit he gonna raise it, not sacrific it.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I ain't angry at my dads.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Granted, that might have been a bit strong of a word. Sorry.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ya should be, but good on ya fer apologizin'</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Or was it meant like "raise him" like we "raise chicken"</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Just sayin... </font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Claud, ya ain't helpin'</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Shush it or yer on diaper duty.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: AND still in debt.</font>

<font color="#880000">Claudius : Smiles mischieviously and shrugs</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Nope. Debt is paid</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Only church can decide that, Lev.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: And they ain't gonna listen to you. They barely listened to us.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: I doubt the snow man raises humans as we would chickens</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Tempe and Lirt were they. They know ain't easy negotiatin' with them.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Well if the church thinks his debt isn't paid then this church is full of morons and he should run away from them</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Lev. I know yer full hearted. That's why Melange be takin' a likin' to ya, but ya ain't one to think things through.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: stops scribbling and blinks at the mention of her name.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: Claudius, what wes it the church told you to do with this child?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Why you ain't thinkin' my compromise good enough? You can SEE how he be raised before ya stubbornly make this decision that gonna affect ALL of us.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: If Levi decides to surrender the child then that would help Claudius complete his debt</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Oh I don't care what the church thinks. I'm a man of principles and this debt was one I took on myself. I say my debt is paid and to hell with the church as far as I'm concerned.</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: face pals</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : But I do appreciate that Levi</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Because we've BEEN here before, Vee. This is the same conversation we had when you all convinced me to leave the church without knowing why we were delivering a baby to a stranger. </font>

<font color="#880000">Claudius : laughs</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Everyone was like, "oh, we'll just talk to the guy, I'm sure he's fine" </font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: And now we're here, and this clown is nothing but philosophy and maybe sacrifices</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Thank you for trusting me then Levi</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I be agreein' to hell with the church BUT until we wield more power than them, ya gotta play it smart and not make enemies.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Oh I agree there Vee.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Oh, I do NOT trust you</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Not yet</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Then, not now</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: And now I'm convincin' ya to not make enemies of the church AND to stick around and babysit with Snow and get to know him and his wife.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: Knowing when to pick your battles, is more of the battle than fighting it Levi, fighting the curch now won't do you any good</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Also in Levi's defense, he could have refused to bring the baby here without the information, and then the Church would have just passed it off onto the next poor saps to come along. This way he gets to safeguard the child and make sure they're in good hands.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Maybe she can teach ya that forest language thing so you can talk to ghost monkeys or somethin'</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Trusting in an unknown future, is a good thing, that is what the church wants, trusting in the here and now is a very human thing to doubt and question</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Ghost monkeys isn't worth a slave baby on my conscience.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Damn, I did pick a good first matey.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Levi, ain't know it a slave baby. That's just you gettin' stuck in that mindset so ya ain't listenin' to anything more.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: All futures are unknown</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Nah, fortune lady did somewhat read the future.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I'm listening, this guy just isn't SAYING anything</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Not all futures are unknown look at Melange</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: 'Cause he needs you to make that decision.</font>

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: waves his free hand back and forth</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: But he's said lots to convince ya if ya listenin'</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: those fortune tellers are so vague, they could be talking about anything </font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Snow, how many baby humans ya sacrific lately?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: They could tell you the child will be a slave, or he could be a prince, it depends on how you listen to the signs</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Yeah he said he's got 41 kids that he couldn't help to be successful. What does that mean? They all die?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Fuck ain't all my pa's offspring survive, neither, but don't make him evil.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Sacrafice? To the greater good? or do you mean do spill blood so a god feels better?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Blood spillin'</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: All I want is assurance that he will do his best to assure that the child doesn't come to any purposeful harm. That's it.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Snow Guy, can Levi come back to visit this kid whenever he wants?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Did your mother want you to come to harm Levi? did she protect you from ALL harm? what do you expect a stranger to do with a baby you are a stranger to?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: That's why I said "purposeful"</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: People get hurts. It happens</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Like my head hurts from this convo...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: But as long as you promise me you're not going to purposefully hurt this kid, then I'm good giving it to you</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I would say that if Levi owes me a favor then yes I would accept him to vist and see how his child is doing</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: And I don't mean in a philosophical sense</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: We all got trauma and whatever</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I just want to know you aren't going to like, stab this kid </font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Probably less chance of it here than with us.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Will you owe me a favor if I promist you to treat this child the way you hope it is treated?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Heck no</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: internally screams</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: If you can't promise me basic human decency then you're an ass</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: How would you treat it if he don't owe ya a favor?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I am not certain YOU can treat this child with basic human decnency</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: No but I'm willing to try</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Which is more than you're saying right now</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: AHH you want me to promise with no restraint, but you will only do what you are willing to try to do</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: You're talking in circles</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I'm not a smart man, you're going to have to dumb it down for me</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Will you sacraifce yourself for this child </font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Well that's obivous...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: And I didn't say promise</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: YOU said promise</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: All I want is for you to tell me you don't intend to purposefully harm this child</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: You willin' to sacrifice yerself, Snowman?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I am insisting that you do not Unintentionally harm the child because you do not know better</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Oh, sorry, I should clarify I don't mean that as a threat.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I'd rather take my chances on unintentional than intentional</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Levi. Ya gotta read between the lines.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I'm not saying I'm NOT willing to do a favor for you, don't get me wrong. But I"m not willing to bargain for this child</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I would rather please the Church by taking on the responsiblilty that I agreed to than let you maybe fufufill a potential agreement</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Children aren't barganing chips</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Yer bargain' for visitation, numbskull.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Ahh THIS child is YOUR bargaining chip</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: You can give kid up and not ever visit then ya don't owe a favor.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Nope</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: You're twisting my words again</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Or else you would have given it to me</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: What good does visitation do me if he murders the kid after I leave?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Revenge.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Hmmm, that's fair</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Gestures to Vee and Rothuss, see, he believes I would murder a child</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I don't know you</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Here's my counter offer</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ya didn't know Claudius or the kids much longer, neither.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: And he does not know you Levi, you two know nothing about each other, and this is a human life you're going back and forth over</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I keep an eye on things while we're here, you assure me you will not INTENTIONALLY cause unnecessary harm to the child, and if I come back and you didn't fulfill that bargain, I get to do to you whatever you did to the child</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Looks over at Claudius, I hope you are very good friends with him, that he is defending you and willing to step in and take on your debt</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: For the sake of Gorby, please accept it or we gonna be here all da.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Oh yeah mate, Levi is the best like that</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): day</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I know he doesn't know me, but should say something about my character that I want to protect the kid</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I might mess it all up but at least I'm trying</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Do you accept that the Church wants me to watch over this child Levi?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Oh yeah, I accept that</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Then that is the enter of our agreement</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: If you return here and think you can challenge me to how I have raised this child you are free to do so</font>

<font color="#660066">User has gone AFK. (Shislif)</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): This is literally the only thing Levi will ever care about, probably.</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): sorry, went to go grab a snack from the freezer and the laundry needed to be moved. didn't expect to be away that long.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Now you're finally saying something </font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): bob better not introduce another kid anytime soon or I will strangle you both</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: LOL</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : hahaha</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: What's the kid's name?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : I called him Kid</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I mean, it's good that they're at least discussing it seriously. I'd be more concerned if it was an easy handover</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: The kid is 3-4 years old so the camapaign woud have to last for another 12 years of game time...... would BOB do that do you?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): I haven't forgotten about Mercy</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: LOL</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): ever heard of time skips?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): so absolutely yes</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Anyone else remember Mercy?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): ? Mercy whomst?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): only TMO might</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): think it was after Eric</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Plus who knows, maybe the snow man's favor is going to be like "take this other baby to this other mysterious person"</font>

<font color="#005500">springdew (Ratbone Carder): yah</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): oh and spring is here! they'd remember too</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Snow Man, you know the kid's name?</font>

<font color="#005500">e2wolfe (Claudius ): Yeah I don't recall Mercy</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): sorry, not bringing Mercy up immediately in my memory, but it's probably in there somewhere.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I do not care what the child's name is</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: What are you going to call it?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): Hugh adopted it. Literal demon child.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I do not know </font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Maybe it'll come to him after he sees how the child be.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: That will come after it learns and is a person</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Do you want suggestions?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: Do the names you are given up here reflect the person?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Ok. You can have the kid for now. But if it looks like he's going to be a slave or something like that, I reserve the right to change my mind</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: They are based on who they interact with and who they want to become</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Look this wasn't my fault! All BOB had to do was let one of the NPCs answer one dang question and this all could have been avoided.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: You have no reservations</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): yeah except it's bob....</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Of course I do, that's why I put the caveat</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: So many people think they know better</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I mean, no one's blaming you, if it needed to happen then it's good that it happened : ) </font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: But it's hard to be absolutely certain about anything</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: then they decide that other things are more important</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Well, no one's openly SAYING they blame me, that's different</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: That what happened to this kid's parents?</font>

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: holds the baby out for the snow man to take</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: So now that we have decided to clear Claudius' debt</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: The kid might be an orphan</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: What can I do for you</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Them twins want trainin' for sure and maybe some of them others. They can speak for themself.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): sorry y'all, I know it was painful, but imma let BOB take the fall for this one</font>

<font color="#261A10">Claudius : Got any ale? Grog? Rum? I'm not picky</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: What do you want for your Pa Vee Bartlett?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Oh, always want somethin' but ain't nothin' from your right now that I know about.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Kinda depends what he's qualified to train us in. So far it's mostly been nitpicking and judgement, but hopefully he has a few more skills than that. I'm not overly interested in either of those.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I already got what I wanted</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Very smart of you to undestand you do not know what you need</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: grins and strums a few notes on the strings.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol Rothuss</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Rothuss Carder</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: you are in need of learning</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Yup.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: You THINK you know but you do not KNOW</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ain't arguin' that...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Oh goody. more judgement.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: His main flaw, yeah.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Rothuss, to be exact.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Talk to me</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: I can take him with me to my next library raiding if he wishes, as long as he keeps quiet while I read</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Tell me what you think you need and why?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Take who where?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Sure, I can give you a wish list, if you want.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: Well, you said he's in need of learning</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Don't be burdenin' yerself with that Lirt. That's what Snow is here for.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: I'm currently working on climbing walls, but magic is probably the top of my list. Then prestidigitation.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: after that, I mostly just need to practice a bit more on some stuff I already got.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: But is he smart enough to understand what you are teaching him Lirtmya?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: The Carder siblings from the hills</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Then you have a small vision of the future Melange, you should also have a wish for a star you might find</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: Oh alright</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I suppose it depends on what subjective definition of family is.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Melange, Levi, You are always welcome to dinner at our family table</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: I would build you in a heartbeat</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I get it now</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: We can talk Levi, he just asked about my wish n so I told him, wasn't telling secrets or nothing</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: So other than the child coming to live with me what else do you need? I understand that Rothuss wants to negociate for some help with some skills</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I googled "build you slang" to try and figure it out lol. Internet didn't have an answer</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): lol</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Lirt, speak up now if ya want somethin'</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I can't be always speakin' for ya.</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: Oh wait!</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: I'm sorry is my turn up? Can I ask one more thing?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: You can always put that mouth to use</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: ummm</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Hey, don't hit on my baby like that</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: rolls eyes</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: There's always things I want, things to work on, I could try to be better at my research, at reading omens, at being more alert, to be able to bind books,to be better at my magic. </font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: no just I was wondering if you happened to have...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Apparently we're in a committed relationship now</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Absolutely no offense intended whatsoever, but if I'm going to have to negotiate, think we could do it *without* the judging and nitpicking? Rather not feel like I'm making a deal with the devil for helping out the Church.</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: an extra hand axe about, I'm down one</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Yeah, but weren't there somethin' you was lookin' at skill wise to improve lately?</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Lirt was looking for Research</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): lol a lot going on</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): (hope that was a reminder for Mini because I know)</font>

<font color="#005500">JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Those are all the NWPs I plan to get, well, Cantrip wasn't in there it's on the list too</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): oh you did word it like that so you should be good </font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): ah, it had scrolled off the top of my screen, is why I missed it</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Researchin', yeah? Maybe ya got tips fer her.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: pretends to read a book.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Lirtimya: Learning to research first seems like a good course of action</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: No priest of Mage NWP available for training here, but others are, particularly Thief abiliities, for Lirt she might get her request as it is not a Spell type thing</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: "How to find out what the deal is with the Hermit living on top of the mountain before hiking up there yourself."</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): never hurts to ask</font>

<font color="#005500">JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Information Gathering?</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): that's a double-slot for you.</font>

<font color="#005500">JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Oh yeah</font>

<font color="#005500">JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I don't think I have two</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): that's the "talking to people in Inns" type of information gathering</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Doesn't seem like a hermit to me, man. He's got a wife and used to have 41 kids and then however many were successful</font>

<font color="#005500">JtomTMO (Lirtimya): So that leaves Research, Book Binding, and Alertness</font>

<font color="#005500">JtomTMO (Lirtimya): So probably Research</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: If I take this child from Claudius, then his debt for the church is free, I will commit to that</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): if he's thief skills, then that's just his leveling up on the thief skills</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: So.... you wanna do that now or? My arms are getting tired</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): So we giving this kid up?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: If yu put additional restrictions on that then we will negociate if that fufulills his requests</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): yes, unless something weird happens, and then we're stealing it away in the night and running </font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): cool</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and Eric just texted that he had to step away for a family emergency</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: so he is gone for the night</font>

<font color="#660066">'e2wolfe' disconnected</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): hope everything's ok</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): hope everything tuns out okay</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: I kicked him out so it is clear he will not respond</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): when you do that... it still shows him on our screen</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): kicking him when he down...</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): just not with his character active</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: true</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: It should be in black and white like Jericho for everyone</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): yes but no</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: so you see who is logged in and who is not</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): it is black and white with a Z on it AND it shows eric now as a selection</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Ahh</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: So we are at the point of Rothuss and Ratbone negociating for training</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: cracks fingers.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and Lirt wanting more skills</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): getting a snack and cleaning all these empty vessels off my desk... brb</font>

<font color="#660066">User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)</font>

<font color="#005500">springdew (Ratbone Carder): That's gonna go great. Haven't been able to pay attention.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Is anyone else necogiating with the Snow Man?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): vee just chillin'</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): Nah just having dinner</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): she's saving her open NWP for later</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I had questions but then I lost them</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): For Lirt I would probably wait to learn Research instead of spending your NWP point to get a +1 on an existing skill. But that's me.</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): Mel is also doing that</font>

<font color="#005500">springdew (Ratbone Carder): In fact, I don't even know if the Snow Man is a yeti or human</font>

<font color="#005500">JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I have all my NWPs and Spells written down here in an entry for easy access</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): nice</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: The Snow Man looks like a very tall Yellow Hair male, someone who is NOT part of anyone's every day life</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: The other voice you have heard is not clear, it is part of the trees</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): does he have a beard??</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): OH wait I remembered my question</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Doesn't have anything to do with NWPs though</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): brb bio break</font>

<font color="#660066">User has gone AFK. (Shislif)</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: He has a blonde beard, blonde hair, tall, Viking male, unlike anything else on this island</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): but not a goatee so he is NOT evil</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Ask Wendy</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): case closed, guys</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: LOL Carissa</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): makes me *want* to grow a goatee...</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): you don't need that we already know you evil</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): maybe not FBI watch list, but close</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Just an inquiry out of curiosity, but do you happen to know if you encounter spiritual beings within the area?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: ALways</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): (Referring to ghost monkey because he might know)</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: If you are part of nature then you are already encountering the spirtual</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Hm.... how often are they spirits or ghosts, if you don't mind me asking?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Spirits are part of the natural world</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Those that do not make their way to where their spirit wants to rest</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Something I've always wondered.. what's the unnatural world?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: The undead</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Like them goblin zombies.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Those that want to live after death</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Oh, yeah. Makes sense. Thanks.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: So Rothuss, llet me see how talented you are</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: gives him a gab</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: bag</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: open this lock</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: Rothuss got skillz</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ain't sure about that...</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: puts away his lute.</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: Ratbone give us a beat</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: whistles while he inspects it.</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): you know Open Locks isn't a Bard skill, right? ;)</font>

<font color="#880000">Ratbone Carder: beatboxes</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: For Rothuss to work to</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: yeahhh</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Grins, you get to explain what training you want</font>

<font color="#880000">Ratbone Carder: brrrt brrt BOP brrt brrt brrt BOP</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: You got a key?</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): I imagine it's mission impossible themed</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Mmm Pop Mmmm POp </font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: shrugs and pulls out his main-gauche and slits the top off the bag.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: That is not what I had anticipated but it does the job</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: hands it back.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: What sort of skills did you look to improve?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: I'm guessing the Magic is off the board, right?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: What type of magic?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: spells of some sort that I maybe could learn.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Looks over at Ratbone, Do you need magic to accomplish your tasks?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Ratbone Carder: me too!</font>

<font color="#261A10">Ratbone Carder: Not my current tasks, but I could do better tasks if I had it</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Ah ah ah! I never said *need*. "Want" is the word we're using here.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Ratbone Carder: I need to learn and grow, right? Stagnation is retrogression.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Want is a powerful aphrodisiac something that draws you in, closer and closer, but can you walk away?</font>

<font color="#880000">Ratbone Carder: giggles he said aphrodesiac</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Damn good think we live by words, because I think you just broke a few brains with that sentence.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Excellent</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: so you want to climb walls? you want to juggle things?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: So, to clarify in Simple Words, spells would be nice, if you can teach us something. If not, I've currently been working on climbing. After that maybe pockets.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Ratbone Carder: Definitely pockets for me.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Slipping a hand in and out of spaces is a very good skill for you to learn</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Prestidigitation is a goal, but the teacher at school is a wizard, so I'm guessing you don't have that.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol at the beatboxing, and gross at the snow man's innuendo.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I have a student who is good at slight of hand and obscuring where something comes from</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: There are few magical writings here, but I will explore those options for you</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: As that's not something I can improve myself, that'd be my preference.</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): yay Lemon </font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): :)</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Once can always take care of themselves, it is much better to have someone help you complete</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: I much rather some else help me to completion</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: The two of you </font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: Need some assistance</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I have students who can help y ou</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Magical writings....</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: whoa</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: You have a whole school up here?</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I am happy to do this for you, because you will be happy to help me afterwards</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Will we, though?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ain't nothin' free.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: If you are happy to help me, I will be glad to help you</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Do you mean "happy" or do you mean "begrudingly willing"?</font>

<font color="#005500">springdew (Ratbone Carder): BOB I'm getting SSL errors on the site. It says Cert Date Involid. FYI</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Are you going to give any hints about this task that we'd love to help you out with in advance?</font>

<font color="#005500">springdew (Ratbone Carder): Can't log in to update the training page</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: That is strange</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: I'm not saying no, mind you. But I'm aware of the Pig in the Poke scam.</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): how come?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: TMO are you seeing that ? Cariss?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): yup</font>

<font color="#261A10">Ratbone Carder: I want to learn how to escape</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: I can deal with that over the week</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: What do you want to escape from?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Ratbone Carder: Ropes and other bindings.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Ratbone Carder: *dozen</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: I do not have dozens here</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: hey, a dize a dozen is like a buck twenty</font>

<font color="#261A10">MeLange: dime</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: but I can help you with a limited set of actions</font>

<font color="#005500">springdew (Ratbone Carder): Oh hey now it works! Thanks!</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): weird</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: covers his ears so he doesn't hear about this side of his little sister.</font>

<font color="#000066">Snow Man: In a few weeks I can see how we can help you achieve your goals</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Er, I heard you say there were magical writings available. It would be helpful to get some assistance on these... documents we found as well, if we can.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): I DID ASK ABOUT HIS WIEF</font>

<font color="#660066">MeLange -> Levi Reed: I like that we can talk this way, feels so weird to be fully honest with a person</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): or was it Pick Pockets? Hard to know when we're not using Meta talk. ;)</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Really? Rothuss? The only worse pick for negotiating is Levi...</font>

<font color="#005500">springdew (Ratbone Carder): But yeah it's about bonds</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Ratbone just wants to escape</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol you said it while I was typing</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): it's for his training</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): escape rooms</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Got it. Escape NWP. There's also a Thief Skill Escape Bonds. I confused the two</font>

<font color="#005500">springdew (Ratbone Carder): I figured it'd be good for a rogue</font>

<font color="#005500">JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Ratbone will ascend to the fourth dimension and escape this third plane</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): don't you have points to redistribute too?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Spring and Barbara would sit at the end of the table quiet then speak up and say something that the entire group would go OH YEAH</font>

<font color="#005500">springdew (Ratbone Carder): LOL dimensions and planes</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Noi JTom is taking on that mantle</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: now</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): jtom is like the second most useful person here</font>

<font color="#005500">springdew (Ratbone Carder): I'm plainly looking in the wrong places for thief skills</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I know Rothuss has Thief points to spend, that's the Climb Walls he's training himself on. But when it comes down to it - he can raise those himself if he needs to. NWPs that require a trainer are priority. Take when available.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): No offense me, and everyone but Carissa</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: crushed</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): but why would you do that when we have a trainer for you to speed up the training?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): thanks!</font>

<font color="#005500">springdew (Ratbone Carder): oh i found it</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Bob, you exist outside the boundaries</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Escape Bonds might actually not be in Bob's skill list. It's from the Skills and Powers books, which I don't think he uses.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): We are all in the box, you ARE the box</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Yes to Carissa TMO and Spring should be taking advantage of all the trainign you can for all the skills, </font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): I prefer circles, but boxes can be fun too</font>

<font color="#005500">springdew (Ratbone Carder): OOC</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Go sleep</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): Yes seriously WE FOUND YOU A TRAINER SO USE HIM DAMNIT</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Wait five cups of coffee? Are you ok taking Nyquil?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): don't be undertrained out of principle or poor planning</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Very much so for Spring Lemon</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): No idea if they will see that or not, but I want it out there in the world</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: I will step away to let you all make decisions, and in the morning will work with the chat</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and lay out the plays for next session</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: BUT starting next week everyone will be committed</font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: are there any more decisions to make?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: I have no clue</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): what decisions?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: But I have a Teen Advisory Board Meeting in the morning</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: what you will do to get your training and what training</font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: Bob - did you ever answer my question above? Was it Pick Pockets or Prestidigitation his student can train Rothuss in?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: If so, sorry, I missed it.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Yes you can get anything you want training in </font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): committed? like in a mental institution?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: it is just a matter of cost for training</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and you will get to decide that next week if you want to pay </font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: I wasn't sure, because at one point you said wizard and cleric stuff was off the table, and Prestidigitation is a Wizard NWP</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: if you want to cross a bridge my dear you have to pay the toll</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): it's the cheeeeeese tax</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon: Feed the troll under the bridge before crossing</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert: don't feed the trolls, not on the internet</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Spells are off the table, specific NWP only available to Priests and Mages is off the table, he has no captive priests or mages to train you</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert: even internet bridge trolls</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: ....captive?</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): captive?</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Captive priests and mages?</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: and now Bob will disappear</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: he loves his cliffhangers</font>

<font color="#261A10">JtomTMO: The plot thickens</font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: ok, that's Prestidigitation off the table then</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): PUT THAT IN THE SUMMARY SO I DON'T FORGET TO QUESTION IT NEXT WEEK</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Flotsam Jetsom now I have her the boss is on a roll</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Yes I will</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Screenshotting it now</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Sorry, the capslock was more for BOB than for you</font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: So finish Climb Walls, followed by Pick Pockets.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Bows to Carissa</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: and there he goes, wave by to Bob guys!</font>

<font color="#005500">Shislif (MeLange): bio break brb</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: *bye</font>

<font color="#660066">User has gone AFK. (Shislif)</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: For those poor unfortunate SOOOOOUULLLLS</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I just feel like... I migtht talk to some people around the house... and then like... steal the baby in the night and become a dad?</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: waves handkerchief in the air </font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: well taking Rothuss's voice isn't a bad trade...</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: If Levi wants to do that that's fine by me : ) </font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: well y'all have fun</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: as I said, Vee doesn't need training and is sitting this out. She got you a trainer SO USE HIM TO HIS FULL POTENTIAL</font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: You really want me to do everything in hand sign Carissa?</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I mean, he doesn't really WANT to but depending on whether these "captives" are happy or not...</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: Vee speaks flippin' the bird so she can communicate as much as she needs with him</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: they might just be captivated</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Captives really do have a negative connotation...</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: captives don't become students</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: But I never know with this universe, when magic and spells are involved.</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: alrighty then, night all!</font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: my problem is sometimes converting back and forth between in universe talk and meta talk. Things can get vague quick</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm also out, but I look forward to finding out the captives are super happy so I don't have to do anythign with a babyyyyyy</font>
