<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Agreed</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Also belatedly realized I forgot to put quotes for that last session summary whoops</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: eh I didn't do story chat yet so all good, lol</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: I have no clue on anyone else for tonight, I would guess Lemon and JTom and TMO</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: I talked to Lemon around my lunchbreak and it seemed like she was planning on attending</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: discord tmo said late and mini no</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: But her shift is also until six, so she might be a lil late</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: It is already 720! where is she!</font>

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

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

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

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Food ftw</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: OH OH how did seeing the northern lights go? Did you get to see it on the second night (?) The picture you posted was really pretty</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: Yes! Second night wasn</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: *wasn't nearly as spectacular, but still beautiful</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: First night you could see it in colors with naked eye. Second night you needed camera to really see it.</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Aw, the first night was nature's main dish, eh. I'm glad the skies were clear enough for the second day though!</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: I didn't even get a good photo of when it was really nice, lol. I mean that one was but I didn't know my camera would work until then</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: It's alright! The skies weren't clear on my end so I was glad to see it via photo : ) I'm sure it's tricky to capture the real thing in one shot, but still </font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Twas beautiful to see <3</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: very much so</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: One day we will</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: I had the thought of going out into the Everglades to try </font>

<font color="#000000">GM: but would not have seen anything by eye, only with camera enhancement</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: yeah and unless you knew what to look for, it's subtle</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Need to go up North</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: 2026 Eclipse in Iceland?</font>

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

<font color="#000000">GM: I am very tempted by the 2027 Eclipse in Egypt</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Right over Luxor</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: It has to be a fortune to do that</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: I've always heard Egypt is the worst country to visit. Or at least is if you're a woman.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: I can easily imagine that</font>

<font color="#660066">'LemonyLemon' connected</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Finally here Lemon is</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Life gave us Lemon</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Did I beat Carissa?????</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: She goes right down to business : ) </font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: The important stuff</font>

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

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

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Hi everyone</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Hope your evening is starting well Lemon</font>

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

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): So far so good</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): School day ended on a weird note, but that's in the past now</font>

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

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): ? Lion king?</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: no the other rafiki</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: WHAM on the head with his stick "Ouch why did you hit me?" "It is in the past it does not matter"</font>

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

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): That sounds like something he would say</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): 's been a while since I watched it</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: bob is on a different wavelength than me tonight at least</font>

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

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Eh, I don't know if I'm ever on the same wavelength as he is</font>

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

<font color="#000000">GM: It is a safety thing</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): My brain noodles are often too tangled :D</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Or not tangled enough</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): So at the end of the day, Wendy's kids get shuffled into my classroom, since I'm there until closing. Today, I turned around to find water all over the floor and the table. They were doing an "experiment" with their drawings. They have a theory that if they draw with white crayons on black paper and then completely soak it, and then let it dry, that it will glow in the dark.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Nice experiment</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Did it work?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I mean, I would have appreciated them asking permission first, but yeah nice experiment</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'll let you know if my classroom and their papers ever dry</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Sounds like something my kids would do</font>

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

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I mean, I let them do it the other day, but they weren't making such a mess the other day, so... I guess that's on me? But I told them no more water experiments</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): They just got finished going crazy with creating fossil imprints in clay though, but I guess that wasn't enough to get their energy out</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: You should get one of the fossil kits and swap it in for one of them, so that when they dig in they find a bone and they go ballistic</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I mean, I liked the idea, but... yeah... there was too much water on the floor for that many preschoolers running around</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): ooc, obvs</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Depending on how much that is, I might think about it BOB</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): We're doing prehistoric animals for science next week</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: I bought a case of them for the Creation Station Science</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: HI NYRMA!!</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Hello Nyrma!</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I don't know about better... but probably for this setting, since they'd all have their own little fossil to excavate, rather than one they all have to share. Also mine is cheaper. Also hi Nyrma!!!</font>

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

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I do think Lemon's fit my budget range. Also BOB's link isn't opening for some reason</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Will try again</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): No dice</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): *sad violin music*</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: It is ok, it is a kit that they would have to share</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Fair enough, I'll save the link and see if I can at least see it later</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm sure they COULD do it, but it's just a lot more mediation for the teachers</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Ah, meditation minutes, the key to saving sanity :D</font>

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

<font color="#000000">GM: So it is the three (four) of us</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Until TMO makes it later on </font>

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

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: ok here i am</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): We're next to the shipwreck at least?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): you were supposed to eat when wendy and I ate or not at all</font>

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

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol sync up the sustenance process</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): But also, I saw a movie where the girl was wearing zipper pulls for earrings, and I was like, I can do that. So I ordered some for super cheap... but they are not plastic, they are metal, and I think they might be too heavy so... going to have to pivot</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Ooh zipper earrings</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Hey, if Wendy wants to work until 6, then I will go home at 4 and be ready at D&D time</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): If they can pay me overtime, sure</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): you eat on the go, man!</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): and map is just pure black</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: So many strange thoughts on zipper jewlery, on how you can put them on ... wrists, and zip them together, or other ideas</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Which map?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Lake Edge should be fine</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): huh I was thinking she meant just the pull not the full zipper but you might be on to somethin....</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): no the Ship Wreck image</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Zipper earrings just give me Miss Frizzle vibes</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Ahh well yes it is underwater</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): so did our rolls just discover it's dark underwater or....? :)</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, it was just the pull, but now I'm like, maybe I need the full zipper to add to this mess</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): people wear heavy earrings</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: You see that there is a section of the wreck that there is a portion above the water line and more below</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I cannot wear one friend's earrings long because she can do heavy and mine are now weak and sad</font>

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

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I'm just not sure I have an adhesive strong enough to make that work</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): and Vee can tell what about how it wrecked? what kind of ship? any of those fantastic successes? come on, give us something here :P</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I will figure something out, though. Just not today</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Show me pictures once you get it figured out, your jewelry is always cool</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Vee can tell that A - this was a normal ship (her hopeful thought of a sky ship is dashed) and B - it has been picked over a bit but it seems like the below water line might still be untouched for the most part and C - there are no bodies of any sort or bones around at all</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): not one of her dads' ships right....?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Boo, no sky ship</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): not that they'd have pirate ships or anything</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: No markings visible</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): underwater adventure!</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): but also what time is it?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: almost 6 PM</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: time is correct</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): I believe that I just didn't see where it was</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Will we be able to see if we swim underwater that late?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Alright y'all. Just a normal ship, but everthin' above been picked cleaned. It gettin' late so we campin' here?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: If you are underwater and inside will be dark ..... yes</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Unless y'all wanna swim when it gets dark but Levi ain't good at it durin' the light so ain't sure that's smart.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: The sky looks to be getting darker, I suppose camping would be wiser.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: There are two tents over there .....</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Here or y'all wanna go back to the shore with giants? I'm good with here, but gonna wanna be on watch for selkies.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): (over where? the giants??)</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I'm fine at swimming when I'm not distracted by ghost monkeys</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: You mean when ya ain't hit yer head. So ain't happenin</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: chuckles at the back and forth.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Violette. which safetest to camp? Our in the lake or we row back to shore?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I don't mind camping here, witnessing the giant was... a bit terrifying.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Did you bring a tent? </font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: It would be camping here on the rocks, </font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Pack mule got one.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: We can grab that and use it.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: You are good to cuddle with but you are not soft enough for that</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: So swim back to shore to get things?</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Nah, I meant Roth.</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: thumbs where Rothuss is</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): who was here</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): he is our party pack</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ya, just might need to make sure we might gotta rope up or something. If somethin' out here can charm, we gotta know before they get charmed.</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I think I actually have a spell to detect charm or something</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh but it has to be on a specific target</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): good AFTER they're charmed</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): but sirens and selkies (presumably) charm you so you jump in the water</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Still working on learning these spells</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): if the person on watch doesn't notice OR is the one charmed, we wouldn't know until they hit the water... if we hear it</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): so in the past we're tie rope so if one pulls, then we know</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Ah, I understand</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): it was to the ship mast but.... we can make it work</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): Vee has wax as well but it also means she'll hear nothing</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I'm sure there's some hefty rocks around here we can</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Man, I keep remembering the time when Bixi deafened... what was the old guy's name?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: BOB... quick question: would Temperance have beeswax on hand by chance?</font>

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

<font color="#000000">GM: Yes she would</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): don't remember that surprisingly</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Who was the old guy?</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): The siren was calling him</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok cool. Do sirens and selkies have heartbeats?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I dunno too much about these creatures</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Yes you can guess they do</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Cool. That's a spell I can use</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Also I'm pretty sure Carissa mentioned wax at some point in our travels, but I do not remember if anyone actually got any</font>

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

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (quickstart guide to get me into the situation?)</font>

<font color="#660066">'seyfert' connected</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): We're just trying to decide if it's safe to camp here</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): After finding the charmed bushes last week</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Yep! Tl;dr we planned on setting up camp on the rocks, looking to see if we have tents on hand, and seeing if we have rope to make sure no one gets charmed by possible sirens or selkies</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: You were here the whole time Carissa ;)</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert: liesss</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: and I argued we got an adventure pack so we have a tent</font>

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

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): So... then watches?</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): tempe first or third</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): the rest of us can double up</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): or one of us can</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): who does tempe wanna chat with?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Violette, Vee, Temp, Roth, Levi</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm crossing my fingers for Rothuss because that is a hilarious pairing</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I mean either is fine. Whichever is better for healing if necessary</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): no you must choose</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): alright lemon has spoken</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Dice says third</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): tempe and roth on first</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): so tempe can heal up violette before second watch</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok sounds good : ) </font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Roth has doubled up before, he doesn't mind it</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): so levi and roth on second?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): vee violette third?</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Sounds good to me</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): vee will wear wax when she sleeps for earplugs so you'll have to kick her awake if you need her</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): k</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): we got rope if anyone wants to do that as a precaution</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Dunno, I've never encountered sirens before so</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: They have red flashing lights</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): It sounds like a good precaution</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: maybe we won't, maybe chatting will be enough.... one way to find out....</font>

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

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

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): oh! did I ever tell you guys about the cop that pulled over the guy who cut me off? it was like a year ago and man it felt good!</font>

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

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

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Car-ma</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): I was hauling a trailer, he pulled out in front of me, cop was apparently behind me for miles, saw it, went around me and pulled the dumbass over</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): it made me so happy - still does!</font>

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

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Do y'all want me to try that hear heartbeat spell?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Or save it for later?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): oooh how long does it last?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): can you post description?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, if BOB doesn't beat me first : ) </font>

<font color="#660066">Hear Heartbeat </font>

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

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): There you go</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I mean, she can use that spell, or have the patient pee on a stick</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Letting Wendy put the full description in </font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): so 1 round and 4 turns which is..... 15 minutes or so?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: each turn is 10 rounds</font>

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

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): ? What patient?</font>

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

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): instead of an ultrasound looking for a "heart" beat, lol</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I think it was more of a political joke</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): ok so 14 rounds total is how long?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol jokes go over my head most of the time, sorry friends</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: 14 minutes</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): ok and Tempe is what level?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): 4</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): so you can have 18 minutes of this working</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): you see the math?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Mathmotologist over here </font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): 10 turns a round. Spell is 1 turn + 8 rounds for your level</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: 10 rounds a turn</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): ugh I always mix those up</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes that sounds about right</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): so 10 rounds _ 8 more rounds</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): 10 tounds a rurn</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): and a round is... how long?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: 1 minute</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): 1 minute?</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): so that means you can do this spell for....</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): 18 minutes?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): yay you win</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): just some things you need to know</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): how long a round and a turn are</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): this might be a good spell to cast at the start of a watch</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): if you have extra casting, maybe again later in the water</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): don't end up in the water please</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, looking up spells has helped me calculate rounds and minutes and turns and stuff</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: a watch is roughly 3 to 4 hours</font>

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

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): "... and then ... Tempe heard the island's heartbeat... it wasn't an island at all!"</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: 6 to 10 , 10 to 3, 3 to 6 </font>

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

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): *dramatic music in the background*</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, if you have extras to use, why not</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: a worm bursts out of the sand</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Well I'm gonna lay down closer to the middle of the rock, y'all. If anyone gets charmed, at least they'll have a bit more walkin' to do before the get to water. </font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I've seen Tremors! *throws TNT*</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: And I'm gonna wear earplugs so kick me if y'all need me, mkay?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Any time, Cap'n.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I'll leave it to Rothuss.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: No. Not anytime. Only if ya need help.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Mm-hmm, yep, got it.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Just know we might got selkies, sirens, mermaids, and who else knows what out here.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: shuffles around for beeswax in her bag.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: They might be tryin' to charm ya to drown so make sure yer prepared to protect yerself on watch.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Or Otters!</font>

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

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

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Are they always hostile, or can they be friendly?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): this is a big rock!</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Yeah, you know me, once I'm asleep it's not easy to wake me, so... good luck</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): can certainly be friendly, but they might still charm ya even if firnedly</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: They can certainly be friendly, but they might still charm ya even if friendly.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I don't have a needle to prick my thumb, so this would have to do.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: holds her dagger.</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: moves to middle of rock</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: looks for a place nearby with a good view of the area.</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Are we staying at the edge for watch or are we moving to the middle?</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): We should be near them, since there's no guarantee anything won't come from the opposite direction from where we are if we go way out.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): smarter to move towards the middle and the people you're making sure will be okay</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): But we can do circles around</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes!</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): circle them like a vulture</font>

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

<font color="#880000">Temperance: moves a bit away from the water's edge</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: puts in earplug wax, lays next to Violette, cuddles, and attempts to go to sleep.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: warm happy sigh that Vee cannot hear</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: pulls out his lute and keeps it handy in case of musical emergency.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Rothuss, if I cast this spell, I won't be able to hear you until the spell is finished.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Hah. Don't ever teach that spell to Vee.</font>

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

<font color="#880000">Temperance: chuckles lightly.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: You know I won't be able to refuse her. Especially if she threatens to shank.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: She's a fearsome thing to behold when she's riled up.</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: I don't let it bother me. Have you tried not caring?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: About being alive?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: About being threatened.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): don't threaten him with a good time then</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Well... I suppose I used to not care as much. But adventuring is getting to be quite interesting. Makes me care a bit more.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: winces as she takes the blade to her thumb to slice a tiny cut.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: It sure beats sitting in one place. Enough to so to make it worth putting up with the threats.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: brb quick empty and refill then will tell you what Temp hears</font>

<font color="#660066">Rothuss Carder: Rothuss is going to keep his lute ready. at the first sign of music or singing he's going to use Counter Effects to try and block it.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I suppose that's true. I haven't had a lot of opportunities to venture far before now. It's quite fun once you get used to it. I suppose threats are something I'll get used to with time.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Yeah, I'm guessing you're going to get to the social rank of being the one to give threats, not receive them.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: smiles and winks.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: laughs lightly.</font>

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

<font color="#000000">GM: understood TMO</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I don't particularly care about social ranks and all, but we'll see what future brings. I wasn't the most approachable before.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: puts the beeswax in her ears and prepares to cast.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: You've still got the shell with you, but I think you're coming out of it quite nicely.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: furrows her eyebrows and takes out the beeswax.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Sorry, what was that?</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: shakes his head and waves 'nevermind' to her. He smiles at her and then starts looking around.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: shrugs and puts the piece of beeswax back in her ears.</font>

<font color="#660066">Temperance: Temperance cast a spell NOT memorized.</font>

<font color="#660066">Temperance: [CAST] Hear Heartbeat </font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: starts walking a guard path.</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): (trying to see if she has to stand still for the spell or not)</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): (I'm guessing yes for concentration but)</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): not necessarily</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): you had to concentrate with the staff but still walked</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): BUT if you trip.... yeah</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I think in the caves I had to stand still with the staff</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Don't remember</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Concentrating is important so you cannot DO other things like attack, make a save etc. but yes to slow walk in a safe area</font>

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

<font color="#880000">Temperance: walks at a slower pace.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: glances around her surroundings from time to time.</font>

<font color="#261A10">The time is 7:33 PM</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: wonders what lives in the depths out there.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Temperance walks and listens</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and the only interesting thing she hears is Vee's heartbeating faster when Violette snuggles in closer and tighter</font>

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

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

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Information that I should not have been privy to lol</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): it would be levi if melange didn't have the shits</font>

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

<font color="#000000">GM: and a halfhour later Temperance is still walking but not hearing anything</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Whew, that's good at least.</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): The spell lasts for 18 minutes right?</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: takes the beeswax out of her ears.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Nothing I could hear thus far, at least.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: circles back around to her side.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: That's a good thing, right?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I hope so. It means there aren't any creatures within the area or... they're too deep within the waves.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: So far, rather peaceful.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Well, let's hope they stay there.</font>

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

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

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: The moonlight reflecting off the water is nice.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I agree with that sentiment. It's been a while since we've had the leisure for enjoying scenery. Everything moves quite fast around here.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Try listening to the waves on the beach. They're not big, but it's really pretty soothing.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: It's quite nice, the way they wash over the shore and roll back again. I'd have to be careful to make sure I don't fall asleep to them.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: You can when Levi gets up.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: glances around from time to time as she walks.</font>

<font color="#418C12">Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 5]</font> [d20 = 8]

<font color="#880000">Temperance: laughs lightly.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Will Levi ever get up, is the question?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: He's a tricky one to wake.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: He will if we kick him.</font>

<font color="#660066"> -> Temperance: Temp spots someting maybe a light or something in the wreck</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Lemon is the same</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: stops and squints in the direction of the wreck.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: stops with her.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I think I'm seeing... a bit of light within the wreck.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Over there, do you see it?</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: points in the general direction.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: peers in that direction.</font>

<font color="#418C12">Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 9) [SUCCESS by 1]</font> [d20 = 8]

<font color="#660066"> -> Rothuss Carder: Roth does not see anything</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: No... is it still there?</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: squints in that direction again.</font>

<font color="#660066"> -> Temperance: Temp does not see anything now</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: listens to make sure he doesn't hear any music.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): So guys... I bought a diamond painting kit that was listed as "5D!" and it looked like it was, after finished, propped up inside a cube, which seemed pretty neat to me, so I got it because I was going to do it and give it to my husband as a birthday gift. But alas, it is just the PICTURE of the cube... wtf.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Anyway, I got a refund and don't have to return it so</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): lol</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I... no, I don't see it anymore.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: shakes her head.</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Perhaps it was just my imagination.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: You okay?</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: moves a step closer, just in case.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Just trying to clear my head, is all. We have enough people seeing strange things these days.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Are any of us REALLY ok?</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: grins lightly.</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Heh. You think maybe it was Levi's monkey?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: If it is, I certainly am glad Levi's not awake to go after it.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: laughs lightly at the thought.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: No kidding. You want me to go take a look?</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Hey, Hagrid said it best. We can all get a little stupid when it comes to our pets</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I'll come with you. Perhaps I'll see it again if I look closer. Better two set of eyes.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Yes, I understand. Let me know if you need any help.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I mean... I don't think the blast-ended skrewts liked anyone or anything</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I'm... not too sure. We were quite far away when I spotted it. It might've just been a trick of the light.</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): I still need to reread those books...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Hmm.. okay, you wait here, I'm going to go left then right, just to get different angles on it. You watch in case I miss something.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Temp and Roth both stare intently at the wreck but you cannot spot any visible lights now</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Alright. Be careful!</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: continues to keep her eyes on Rothuss while glancing around to keep up with her surroundings, in case of any surprises.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: covering ground, keeping his eyes and ears open, just in case</font>

<font color="#261A10">The time is 8:13 PM</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I don't see much over here. Maybe I was just tired and I really imagined it.</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Always possible. We should get back, though.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: nods in agreement.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Yes, it wouldn't do to stay so close to the water, what with all that talk of sirens and selkies and such.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: I've been keeping an ear out for that. Tell me if you hear something. I've heard stories about how to fight that.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: quietly fingers a few strings on his lute.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I'll see what I can do. I haven't ever encountered them before, but I've heard that they've got irresistible voices.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Supposedly, if you play or sing the right counterpoint you can interrupt it.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Ah, is that so? Interesting! Countering melody with melody... </font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: shuffles for her notebook to jot the notes down.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Like the brown note?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): (or at least try to, in the dark)</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Brown note?</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (if you don't know, you don't want to)</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh, okay</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Very correct</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): I don't know either but also assume I don't want to know</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol don't ask too many questions around here, got it : D</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): just assuming it has to do with poop somehow and that's all I need to know, lol</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (musical note so low/intense it causes instant diarhea)</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): And you both play instruments. How did this never come up in your instrumental education?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): because I wasn't trying to make people poop their pants???</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: No but it's like an urban legend</font>

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

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): but maybe he's also talking in his sleep</font>

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

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): and I dunno, my teachers were professionals so they probably didn't need to teach me that legend</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Sounds like Levi might be waking up on his own already.</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Honestly, considering his interest for mythical creatures it makes sense.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: chuckles lightly.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: although you'd think three years of orchestra SOMEONE there had to be immature but nope... bet it was the band geeks</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: That's a first. Perhaps a mythical creature is on his radar.</font>

<font color="#261A10">The time is 8:53 PM</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: He's just afraid of how I'm going to wake him.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): time is moving suspiciously slow this watch....</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: muffles a laugh in order to not wake the others.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I'm sure it's terrifying.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Wellllll... I don't know about 'terrifying'...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: I don't know, musical cacophony sounds like auditory terror.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: I prefer 'non-traditional'</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: muffles a chuckle again.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Temperance: Non-traditional. I see.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Quiet bagpipes</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Honestly I need to try to listen to bagpipes with the sound minimized because I can't imagine it.</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): there's some good bagpipe acts on YT</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I'll have to find some over the weekend for sure : ) </font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Pipper Allie (I shared a link before) is fun</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: She does modern bagpipes along with traditional</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Time to kick some Levi</font>

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

<font color="#880000">Temperance: prepares to witness the 'nontraditional way' of waking someone up</font>

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

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: crouches behind Levi's sleeping form and pulls out his goat horn. He places the mouth of it up against the back of Levi's head and carefully blows a very quiet and low note so it vibrates throughout his entire skull.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I hate you.</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): he doesn't need more brain damage!!!</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: C'mon buddy. Time to spend a few hours telling me how much you hate me.</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: slow claps softly, pressing her lips together to muffle her laughter.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): tempe should heal violette before sleeping</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Uggggh, wait, I'm stuck with you?</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): and cast any other spells she might think could help</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, I do remember that</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): (maybe not all, but if one intigues you)</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I hope you have a good story man. I haven't had a good night's sleep in forever, I'm struggling to care enough to stay awake</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: coughs a bit to muffle her laughter again before heading in Violette's direction.</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): (Does she have to be awake for me to cast or can I just do it?)</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Sure. We think your monkey's over on that ship. Keep your eyes peeled, let me know if you spot it.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: What, really?</font>

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

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

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

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: gently puts a hand on Rothuss arm</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Ok but for real. Stop</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: If they hear you, we're toast</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Yeah, yeah, i'm listening. Problem is if it's the sirens, you pause to take a breath and they've got you. But I don't think they play lutes.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Nah, they sing</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: And I'm not playing *that* loud, I promise. If they can hear me all the way over there over the sound of their own players, they already know we're here.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: And they aren't likely to get me anyway. Not my type</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Yeah but we don't have to advertise it</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I don't want to be on the daily specials </font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Magic charm is all about making you do things you don't want to, duh.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Can you see anything over there?</font>

<font color="#261A10">The time is 12:33 AM</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Nah, too far and too dark</font>

<font color="#261A10">The date is Mid____se, 25th Ze (Summer), 587 SGR</font>

<font color="#261A10">Young Moon's phase is Morning Crescent</font>

<font color="#261A10">Old Moon's phase is Waxing Gibbous</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Good. Then they won't be able to see me when I play my drum solo.</font>

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: rolls eyes</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Is this watch over yet?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Not that I'm not enjoying your company...</font>

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

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Do giants have nightvision? Just curious</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Any time you want to wake Vee go for it.</font>

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

<font color="#000000">GM: You will have to encounter them to find out Wendy</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Welp, I hope I never find out, then : ) </font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Why me?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I did it last time and I still have bruises</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: I woke you. It's your turn.</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Or you could wake Violette who could wake Vee...</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): hush you...</font>

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

<font color="#000000">GM: It is still a while till the end of your watch</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: So did you find your fun and excitement you were hoping for?</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): and the more Levi dislikes it, the longer it's going to seem...</font>

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

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

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Yeah, I think I have. At least it's not boring yet. What about you? What're you after?</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Levi's just a cranky boi</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I don't know. I started out interested in that chupacabra. Now I'm after a ghost monkey</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.</font>

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

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): You know nothing Jon Snow</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Not where I thought my life was going</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I just wanted free drinks</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: I'll buy you a round at the next tavern.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I just wanted to spend my life sitting around the tavern away from my family, slowly drinking myself to death</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Ahh... I've met too many like that. I may have to rescind my offer...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Well obviously that changed, or I wouldn't still be here</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: But I don't know what I want anymore</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: So enjoy what you got where you are until you find what you want.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Hell, a week ago I was ready to take the kid and be a dad</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Yeah, that was a bit weird. Noble, maybe, but still weird.</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: You'd just let some random monster take some kid and do whatever it wants with it?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: You were just assuming the monsterhood. We didn't have any evidence either way.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I wasn't assuming, I was preparing for the worst and hoping for the best</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Sure. I don't have a lot of love for the church either.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: If it was that Mizzen church, I wouldn't have been too worried</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: They're pretty relaxed, don't seem to do much sacrificing or anything</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: But hidden up here in the mountains? Who knows</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Always possible. I ain't judging you, buddy. Just saying it was weird.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Remember, weird is usually 'not boring'</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Oh for sure it was weird</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I was not happy about it</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: But like... when the time comes, I still gotta face my own god, and I'm not facing him with that on my conscience</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Sounds like a plan.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Who's your god?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: My whole beef with both the church and whathisname up there is they are so *damn* proud of all the secrets they know that they refuse to give straight answers to simple questions.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Oh man, that gets my goat too</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: No offense</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Or was it sheep</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: You can have my goat too</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Goats. Just remember, the only thing dumber than a goat is the people who raise 'em.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: If they're so dumb, why can't you show your face there yet?</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: They blame me for their stupidicty.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: You know... a scape goat.</font>

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: groans</font>

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

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

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: If I remember correctly, didn't you purposely decieve them?</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I would like to say I've had that one waiting for ages and ages, but I just came up with it on the spot</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: It's called a prank. And it was totally harmless. ... almost.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): the best are made on the spot</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): The emphasis on "almost" lol</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Would have been if they didn't get greedy.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Ok, maybe I need the whole story</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I thought you were just messing with them for fun</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Yeah, that's what a prank is.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: I mean, it's just *so* stupid...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: So what's greed got to do with it?</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Fine... what do you know about herding goats?</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: kicks a rock.</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: You like... uhhh</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: How do you know which goat belongs to who?</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: collars can be moved or come off.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): with scrapie tags which you can get for free!!!</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: and mats the coat underneath.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: That's why you got someone out in the field watching em, yeah?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Yeah, so how we do it is marks painted on their coats.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Grundy's goats have Grundy's mark on 'em. Hyford's got a different mark.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): hope they aren't being herded for their coats... tags guys, tag your dang animals!</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): otherwise I get to send you a nasty letter</font>

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

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (remember this method was written up by a man who knows less about goats than he does cows, and he don't know diddly about cows)</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): lmao for a small island it works</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: So.. for fun, what happens if a couple people color over all those marks one night?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): I've just got my work triggers of people not tagging animals they move off farm :P</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Those people get chased out of town, from what I've heard</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: What *should* have happened was that people get confused for a while, realize they all know their own goats by sight *anyways* and figure it all out what belongs to who.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: What *actually* happens is they all start claiming they owned the most valuable goats.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Wait wait wait. How are you supposed to tell one goat from another? Like, I know SOME of them have different colors but...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: You tell 'em apart same as you do a person.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Once you get used to it, they all look completely different.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: There's a lot of people I can't tell apart, man</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Hell, most of them answer to their names.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: They name their food up in your town?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Maybe we should mark your hair.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Just so we can keep an eye on you.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Not the worst idea I've ever heard</font>

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

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

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

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Is it daytime yet?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Yeah, same</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: This is delightful, I hope it continues for hours more</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: It is time for third watch</font>

<font color="#261A10">The time is 2:13 AM</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): hey, it worked!</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Hey, sweetcheeks, time to get up! </font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Ask and he shalt give</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Alright, you wake up Vee. See you in the morning, buddy.</font>

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: gently kicks Vee</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): she's got wax, she couldn't hear that!</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: opens and eye and glares out of it</font>

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

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

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

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: removes wax from an ear</font>

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: prepares to kick harder</font>

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

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: finds himself a clear spot on the ground and rolls up under his blanket after shaking it out.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Oh, got it. Man forgot how good earplugs work.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I should wear them around ya more often.</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: yawns and stretches</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Some giants are playing some music across the lake there. Other than that, nothing happening</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): brb, afk for a few</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Good. Hope it stays that way.</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: And you two didn't kill each other, yeah?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Pretty sure Rothuss was purposly trying to annoy them by playing a song to interrupt their song, but so far no giants coming to check on us</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Might be they can't swim or somethin' would eat 'em if they tried</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Good. I wanna watch when one of ya snaps.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Now go to sleep so I can wake Violette without ya gettin' on me about it.</font>

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

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

<font color="#880000">Levi Reed: goes to sleep</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: kisses Violette awake</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Hmmmm</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Up and at 'em/</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Let's stay in bed</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Much as I like cuddlin' it ain't good to do when on adventures.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Gotta be more business-like.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: We can make it an adventure</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Nah, I get in shipmode. Hard to convince me.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Hmmmm</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: lightly disintangles herself and stands up</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: So firm</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: You gonna get cold.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: laughs lightly</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: stands up</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: We survive then there'll be cuddles later.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Yawns</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: good</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: You sleep well then?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Nice and warm cuddly</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Levi says some giants playin' music but I ain't hear anything when I was sleepin'</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I did not hear anything to wake me up</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Might be a quiet part of the lake.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: If the giants are from the water? or the jungle?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Thinkin' he means that jungle camp we saw.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: This is one of the busier parts, people coming down from the top of the bowl, down towards the river and waterfalls heading down to the sea</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: We are close to the first drop</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: First drop?</font>

<font color="#660066">Image: Borinquen</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): maps mean nothing if I don't understand the referenceeeee</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Where the lake squeezes in to the river</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: there are rapids and locks</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ah gotcha. Do ships pass through here at night?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: well sort of locks</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: It would be dangerous</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Shiplock? Them fun to see. Kinda ingenius.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: It is a group of people who put up a moveable wall, help the water build up then pull it back and let the ship go</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I like sailin' through the night on the sea. It's very tranquil usually.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Yeah! Those locks! They cool to watch.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I have never been on the sea</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: the lake seems big enough</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Nah, I can see the edges. </font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ocean has an endless horizon. Endless potential.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: It is miles across, and many more long so it is a big lake and feel free to name it if you like</font>

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

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

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): not to be confused with erie</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and the small one farther up is Ontario? </font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): Dontario. Not to be confused with Ontario.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: farther below lake ontario, takes in what lake eerie can send her</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: grins so let it be written</font>

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

<font color="#000000">GM: Upper lake lower lake</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): I vote Uron. Not to be confused with lake Huron</font>

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

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

<font color="#000000">GM: Uron flows down to Eerie and down to the shores of the sea</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): hmm.... except my georaphy dislikes that</font>

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

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

<font color="#000000">GM: You can decide later</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): it's a hard deicision!</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): Or we just... go with the same naming scheme</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): Oontario into Eerie</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Thus she goes with the flow of naming : ) </font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): people like their double vowels up here</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): yup I'm good with that now then moving on</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: So whatcha wanna do with yer life anyways, Violette? Got any goals or plans or somethin'?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Ma needs help</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: The Church always seemed like a safe choice</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Nothing exciting happens here</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: But that is a good thing from hearing stories about exciting things</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Yeah, ya told me yer mom needs help. Ain't nothin' wrong with helping yer parents, but it's nice when you WANT to help 'em 'cause it aligns with what you like too, ya know?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I don't know, we are having fun, but then you will leave so I can't really get too carried away, I have to think about what I need to do for family</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: You said you do things for your dads</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Yeah, it aligns with what I like doin', yeah?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: And as long as yer havin' fun now that's what matters.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Warm smile at Vee</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I just like hearin' about peoples dreams and stuff, ya know?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: What they wanna do with their life and stuff.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Even if they can't do it</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: How long yer family livin' up these parts?</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): the silence makes me worried abotu what bob is setting up...</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I guess my mom has been here all her life</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: added The Bowl pages so we can take notes there</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: My dad was from the other side of the mountain so he never really fit in</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: but my mom was always here</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: You ever been to the other side before?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Just up to the Orphanage </font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Never down the other side far</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I wonder what it's like on that side. I ain't got interest in it, still too far from the sea, but slight curiosity, I guess.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: You know anything about the Snow Guy?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: That is the side you are from, you are on the other side of the mountain now in The Bowl, the opposite of your side and the sea</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Oh wait, you mean my side of the mountain?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I have heard Mr Snow is very protective</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Sorry I'm still a bit sleepy.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: He seems like a jerk. I ain't a huge fan of his wife, neither. A little stuck up.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: The kids have always seemed taken care of</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: they come through and down the river to the lake once in a while when they travel down to the sea</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Those are the kids the Church does not keep I guess</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ms Mirny seemed to have good memories of her time there so guess that's good for them. But I ain't got any desire to stay near there.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: The kids do?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Maybe they goin' to the cathedral.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: They have people with them</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Maybe? they go, I do not notice any of them coming back</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Huh. I doubt he'd do slave tradin' but wonder what the purpose of their journey is?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: My mother always said if you were good he would send you to the church, if you were bad he would send you down the river</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: But I don't know if it is bad down river</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Hmm, my curiosity is a bit peeked.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Dependin' where they land, I suppose.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Parts of the city can be rough if they ain't go nowhere to go.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I imagine if they did end up at the cathedral... they strict. I ain't a fan of them, neither.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: It must be ok though, there can't be too many people after all</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Too many people in the city or goin' down river?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: In the city, </font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I hear there are pretty castles</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: but that does not take a lot of people</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: LOTS of people in the city. It's one of my favorite places. Ya can get lost in a crowd easily.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: How could there be lots of people? how do they fish? or find food in the forest?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Oh, ain't no forest there. Lots of docks, but most of them go out to sea to fish and bring it back in. Or import stuff from other cities and such. Or bring fruits from the orchards back to the city from up river.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: That just seems so strenge</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I trade some knitting for some bacon </font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: but how much more could someone do?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I guess it is complicated</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: A whole 'nother world for sure.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I wonder if I will see it</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Guessin' it depends whatcha decide to do when I gotta head out.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I hope we get to dive down and see if the pearl is still there</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: warm smiles and gives her hand a quick squeeze</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: But if ya ever decide later, ya gotta tell me. I know the city well and can make sure ya don't get lost.</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: kisses her cheek</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: giggles</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Once it gets light out, we'll look at the ship.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I know we need to be quick but I hope we can find some urchins for you</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Wish I could see better in the dark.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Ya! They damn good food.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Gotta show Rothuss it ain't a kid.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: They are good for eating and if we are lucky they might have a pearl inside too</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Or ink</font>

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

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Lirtimya might like that</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: some urchins have little pearls in side</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: others have little ink sacks</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: We talkin' about the same thing?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: the different ones seem to collect different things</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: small little things with tentacles?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: moving around like flowers?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Nah, them octopuses.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: OR starfish? Huh...</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I heard those were in the sea?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Sea urchins I know are spiky and don't hold nothin' inside except delicious goop.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: These are like little .... pots? little blobs</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Maybe it somethin' I don't know?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: They taste good</font>

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

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: but they take things inside too when they eat</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: and some of them turn them into pearls</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): but it's been around since the 80s so....</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: They are good but you have to get bigger ones so there is more meat</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: and they are the ones that collect things inside </font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): they eat your character and steal your stuff but sit there like aneomoes....depending which game it is</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Can they eat people?</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I don't think I know these things so ain't sure what I need to be careful about.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I guess if they got really big and the person was really small</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): *looks around for Indigo*</font>

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

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: They are normally about this big (she holds her hands about a foot apart) and as long as you do not let them bite you it is ok</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: grins good</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Thankfully we only got some with small brains, but they still big bodied.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: What happens if they bite you?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Some people get really sick</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Like if a snake bit them</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: So how do ya harvest them safely?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Being careful</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Guess I can stab them with my trident...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Can they reach far?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Only the blue ones</font>

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

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: They only reach right nearby</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: What colors are they? Why am I only goin' after blue ones?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: The blue ones have pearls or at least those are the ones that have the most luck at having pearls</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: the yellow and red ones tend to have ink</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: and the black ones are just icky</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Oh that's borin'</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: no one likes the black ones</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: We can</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: if we find them</font>

<font color="#261A10">The time is 4:53 AM</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: What's their normal habitat? Hangin' on rocks? Bed of lake or...?</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I always find them hidden in little crevices in the rocks deeper in the water</font>

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

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: But then they grow bigger</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: and stick out alot</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I gotta see how you hunt and harvest them then.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: They can move but not fast</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: Only in a little burst but mostly just barely creep from rock to rock </font>

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

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Definitely ain't familiar with yer urchins.</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: You need to hold your breath a long time sometimes</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: I did think it weird they was in freshwater, but guessin' 'cause they aren't what I think</font>

<font color="#000066">Violette Snipes: I am glad you have dagger</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Temp does not spot any danger</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: But she does need to meditate for her spells</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: You find any mermaids or sirekies or whatever you were looking for, Vee?</font>

<font color="#880000">Temperance: nods to herself and sits for a while to meditate, listening to the waves lull back and forth.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: We let Tempe do her thing then we go look at the shipwreck.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: 10 rounds per spell level she is memorizing</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: so 10 minutes</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and she needs how many spells ?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Are we talking total spell slots?</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): 6 first level spells and 4 2nd level ones?</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): 140 minutes</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): so over 2 hours</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): IF you want to refill everything. You can do less I bet</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I think I used three spell slots total so far</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): 2 1st level and 1 2nd level</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Which ever ones you need to fill</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): But I could be wrong</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: there you go</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I'll do meditation for one first level spell then</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I think the rule was written on the assumption that your spells were supposed to last for an entire adventure, other than maybe a few individual slots refilled along the way. And then get them all back at home</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: so that would be how many minutes for those three spells?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): if it's just three that's 30 minuts</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: For wizards yes to TMO</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I thought 30 too</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: rare to bring your spell books with you</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): didn't mean to answer for Bob, was typing that out loud</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): 40 (2x10 + 1x20)</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and yes Carissa is a mathologist</font>

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

<font color="#000000">GM: TMO is the Mathmotologist though</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and so he actually has it right</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): this is an annoying new rules we've started to care about so I vote my answer as a compromise to it's stupidity</font>

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

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

<font color="#000000">GM: it was always there, just wake at 6 start the day at 8 </font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): nah mate we weren't THAT strict with it</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): we cast ALL the spells so it would have been like a whole day to regain!</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: just said two hours to memorize spells</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): guess Levi has to make breakfast then</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): I mean, I still have a few slots left</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): two hours all your spells done</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: yes to Levi or Roth cooking</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok, meditate for two hours then?</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I can help... I wouldn't want to trust the whole thing to him</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and yes to starting next week with full spells, full HP and maybe full stomachs?</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): I will be late</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Levi's basically useless</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): not sure by how much and won't until that day</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol the trust levels in Levi post-ghost monkey</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I will be with my family next week, so no idea if it'll be busy that night or not. We're usually pretty good about being available though.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): well you know, Levi accuses Rothuss of contradictions but him and his ghost monkey are the biggest one here</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): maybe sharif will surprise us on friday</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Oh, I meant I wouldn't want to trust the whole meal to Rothuss. I realize I used both "i" and "Him" in the same sentence to refer to Rothuss though.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): A ghost is different than a real live monkey</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): to be fair... I don't ttrust either</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): no it isn't</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): again you can't like the ghost but hate it's live counterparts</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Take it up with Levi and Bixi</font>

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

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): I did and I'm trying to help Levi see that he might never be friends with the ghost if he won't reconcile with the live ones</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): But really, *is* there a difference between an imaginary ghost, an imaginary monnkey, or an imaginary ghost monkey?</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Well... he's definitely going to do that so</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Goodbye ghost monkey</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): eh if we ever see it again we can try the medallion thing</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): but it's definitely working with the living ones</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: so stopping here for the night?</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Maybe it's working with the living ones or maybe it just doesn't know it's dead yet</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): The Bruce Willis of monkeys</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Seems like the right spot</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: if it doesn't know it's dead yet I feel like Levi will have an even HARDER time trying to make friends with it</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: like if he knows he's a ghost, he can belke, yeah I know you tihnk I'm cool but gotta like my friends too</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I already feel like it's not possible, but I am not Levi. Levi is dumb af</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: but if he doesn't know then he's going to be extra offended because he doesn't know he's a cool ghost</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: ....he is.......... </font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: just gotta keep protecting him from himself :P</font>

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

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Number one danger to Levi is... Levi</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: number 2 is vee</font>

<font color="#261A10">wyjyoon: Sounds like some doppelganger stuff</font>

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

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

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: you should bring that up IC some time</font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: Rothuss isn't a danger to anything except patience and maybe sanity</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: I feel like it was before but that might be an head explosion realization</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: he's number 1 on vee's hit list</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): And all the single ladies</font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: he's not a 'danger' to them.... ;)</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Agree to disagree on that one</font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: temptation, maybe...</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: you keep believing that</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: him believing that is WHY he's a danger to them :)</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): idk what you expect from an Ace lol</font>

<font color="#261A10">Master TMO: hey, he doesn't make it his whole identity, unlike some.</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: pretty sure rothuss has flirted with more than anyone so far this campaign...</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): But someone flirting as agressively as Rothuss IRL is definitely a danger sign lol</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: oh gods yeah, he'd be labeled a creep</font>

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

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: something something poor boy and fantasy</font>

<font color="#261A10">seyfert: probably a good time for me to say: good night!</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Lol, I'm out too. Goodnight friends!</font>

<font color="#005500">wyjyoon: Goodnight guys : ) </font>

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

<font color="#000000">GM: THey will see it</font>
