The Abode Transfers to Fair Harbour

From Caelwiki

[09:48] * Falerin Stops at the refrigerator in the kitchen and pauses looking about slowly.

[09:50] * Falerin mutters "This home is becoming somewhat more bucolic then I recall. The sylvan charm not withstanding I think it is time for a change in clime"

[09:51] * Falerin walks over to a wall and raps on it roughly revealing a panel

[09:51] * Falerin presses several buttons and turns a few dials

[09:53] <>Ambiance<> The familiar Caelestian forest made all the more poigant due to its recent retun vanishes however far more then this changes. For where the building that is the abode once stood there now stands a large gated manse. The area beyond the manse is highly metropolitan and many individuals are rapidly coming and going. The smell of sea spray hanging firmly on the air.

[09:54] * Damsel shifts uncomfortably in her sleep for a moment, then opens her eyes to peer about somewhat dazidly. "Loremaster?"

[09:55] <>Ambiance<> The sounds of a rustling seaport can be heard outside of the building and grounds but the individual who induced these changes does not respond to your query

[09:56] * Damsel slowly brings herself to a seated position, stiffling a yawn and trying to take in what has occured.

[09:57] <>Ambiance<> There is a bell ringing in the distance and dimly you recognize it as coming from the front gate to the estate

[09:58] * Damsel gets to her feet and runs a hand distractedly through her hair, trying to smooth out what sleep has displaced. Her first couple of steps are somewhat unsteady but as she continues she wakens further. "Is that someone... ringing?"

[09:59] <>Ambiance<> There is a bell continues clanging incessantly the ringer clearly not yet bored with the pullcord

[09:59] * Damsel heads towards the gate, somewhat perplexed by the change in scenery but not entirely surprised that the landscape has altered once again.

[10:01] <>Ambiance<> There dwelling itself has modernized substantially there are evident signs of a massive renovation and it seems somewhat less sprawling then it was when you went to sleep having selected a vertical expansion in this stead. Even so the horizontal dimmensions easily outclass most terran mansions

[10:02] * Damsel shakes her head slightly, deciding to investigate the surroundings futher once she locates whoever is attempting to demand attention by the continued ringing of the bell.

[10:04] <Merchant> Good Morning to you and Salutations I am glad to see the old estate once again occupied by life and vigor. It has been too long, too long, was causing whispers at the university it was. Now then since you are back under operation I was in fact wondering if you wished to resume your daily delivery of milk bread and eggs....

[10:05] <Eitak_Razal> Say wha?

[10:05] <Merchant> and of course we have a full selection of other dairy fresh products straight from our creamery and barn

[10:06] <Eitak_Razal> A door to door sales men...

[10:06] * Damsel appears momentarily startled, but recovers swiftly. "Good day to you sir. You have arrangements for such with this estate's proprietor?"

[10:06] <Merchant> However your last order was for 2 galons of milk, 3 dozen eggs, and 3 loafs of the multigrain a day

[10:06] * Eitak_Razal wonders if he's aware of the magic fridge...

[10:07] <Eitak_Razal> ((That eitak just finished cleaning u))

[10:07] <Merchant> Well naturally, naturally, the proprietor prefers our farm to all the others in the shire beyond

[10:08] <Merchant> Is master Arden home by chance.

[10:08] <Eitak_Razal> I'm afraid you must be lost... theres no arden here...

[10:08] * Eitak_Razal looks at Damsel

[10:09] <Merchant> I will look again miss but I quite sure this is Master Arden's door

[10:09] * Damsel glances back at the house. "I am uncertain if the master of the estate is available at this time. I am, unfortunately, also unable to enact financial dealings on his behalf."

[10:09] <Merchant> No I am not lost this is the Arden door

[10:10] <Merchant> Oh standing orders are quite clear miss. Master Arden wants those who dwell in his domicile to have the best. We are to provide without question and he shall make a reckoning at the first of each month

[10:11] <Merchant> By my counts he has been making payments in excess of 24000 credits for the past 10 years without so much as a doormouse using the service so even if he were to stop pay next month you have a substantive credit

[10:11] * Eitak_Razal blinks.

[10:11] * Joins: Dusk (sbbank45@Caelestia-8EBB1353.ipt.aol.com)

[10:11] * Reality sets mode: +v Dusk

[10:11] * Dusk slowly appears

[10:11] <Damsel> "Well in that case, perhaps keeping with the prior arrangements and quantities would be for the best."

[10:12] <Dusk> "Ah, hello Damsel."

[10:12] * Eitak_Razal gestures Dusk to shush

[10:12] <Merchant> And that is just our establisment. Master Arden has arrangements with every merchant/buisness in Fair Harbour

[10:12] * Dusk shushes

[10:12] <Eitak_Razal> Fair Harbour?

[10:13] * Damsel raises her eyebrows slightly, the only sign of her surprise. "So we should be expecting similar visits from them as well?"

[10:13] <Merchant> Well I do hope you enjoy the city. I will resume the order as specified. If you wish to make any changes to the order. We can be found in cetnral market. We are Gregors Dairy

[10:13] * Eitak_Razal blinks.

[10:13] <Dusk> ((whats going on?))

[10:13] <Eitak_Razal> ((An NPC vist. I'll pm you the stuff))

[10:13] <Dusk> ((thanks))

[10:13] <Merchant> I cannot say ma'am the others who regularly make door to door sales perhaps. Once word spreads.

[10:14] <Damsel> "Thank you, sir. If you could spare a moment, however, would you be willing to tell us about this area? I'm afraid most of us have only just arrived."

[10:14] <Merchant> And in Fair Harbour thats rather quickly....

[10:14] <Merchant> I wish that I could socialize such madam but I do have other clients to deliver too

[10:14] <Damsel> "Of course. I will not detain you further then."

[10:15] * Merchant hoists a basket with 8 glass bottles of milk a crate of eggs and several loaves of warm bread.

[10:16] <Merchant> Your order ma'am, I have included a loaf of our new glarionberry streusel. It is a new addition since the last time...

[10:17] * Eitak_Razal just looks back and forth between Damsel and the Merchent as if she's trying to figure out what she missed

[10:17] * Damsel takes the items somewhat akwardly. "My thanks."

[10:18] * Eitak_Razal looks at dusk with an expression of pure confusion.

[10:19] * Damsel waits to see if the merchant has any further business.

[10:20] * Dusk returns the look

[10:22] * Eitak_Razal takes a good look outside and gasps

[10:23] * Damsel glances at Eitak and Dusk. "Here. Help me in with this, will you?"

[10:23] <Eitak_Razal> Right

[10:24] * Eitak_Razal takes some of the items

[10:24] * Dusk takes a few loaves of bread and puts them in the cupboard

[10:24] * Damsel begins heading back inside with what remains.

[10:25] <Damsel> "So we remain within Caelestia. That is a comfort."

[10:25] <Eitak_Razal> You've been here before?

[10:26] * Damsel shakes her head as she puts the items away in the kitchen. "No, but I have heard tell of it. If you give me a moment, I'm certain I could find a few more details within the archive."

[10:27] <Eitak_Razal> Who is master Arden... Another name for Falerin?

[10:28] <Dusk> "That name rings a bell"

[10:28] <Eitak_Razal> Doesn't to me...

[10:28] <Damsel> "Well it certainly has some similarities to Falerin's own last name."

[10:28] <Eitak_Razal> I noticed that...

[10:29] * Damsel strides over to the archive and begins sorting through scrolls.

[10:30] <Eitak_Razal> How did we get here is my bigest question

[10:30] <Damsel> "Ah here we are. Fair Harbor is on the Far Eastern Coast of the greater continent Celestiae Major, across the Deep Sea from the Royal Seat of Valoria in Mithius."

[10:31] <Eitak_Razal> And where were we before?

[10:31] <Eitak_Razal> We'ed been in

[10:31] <Eitak_Razal> Limbo for so long i'd forgotten

[10:33] * Damsel frowns and begins looking through scrolls again. "I'm not certain we were ever given exact placement of Falerin's abode."

[10:33] <Damsel> "As Falerin was here, however, when I awoke to find the place changed in local, I imagine he is probably the one responsible for it's transit."

[10:34] <Eitak_Razal> I sensed his presance... I was half asleep so i didn't register right away.

[10:34] <Eitak_Razal> He was gone by the time i realized it was him

[10:35] <Eitak_Razal> ((A god's powers are easy to sense, even a novice at senseing engery can feel it))

[10:37] <Eitak_Razal> Wonder why he moved us with out warning...

[10:37] <Damsel> ((That's sort of bunnying- dictating abilities his character does or does not have))

[10:37] <Eitak_Razal> And why the abode has changed...

[10:37] <Eitak_Razal> ((true... I'm droping it now))

[10:37] <Dusk> Perhaps we needed to be disguised?

[10:37] * Damsel shrugs. "It is not the first time he has moved his house."

[10:37] <Eitak_Razal> From what?

[10:38] * Eitak_Razal nods

[10:38] * Damsel glances once more at a scroll and smiles slightly. "I wonder if Dariel is about."

[10:38] <Dusk> "A threat unbeknowest to us?"

[10:38] <Eitak_Razal> It seems like a diffrent place from the outside..

[10:38] <Eitak_Razal> That guy said this place has been empty for 10 year...

[10:39] <Damsel> "I find that hardly surprising."

[10:40] <Eitak_Razal> Which, The change on the outside or the empty for 10 years?

[10:41] <Eitak_Razal> Fal must be rich to afford what that guy said the current unused blance was...

[10:42] <Damsel> "Neither is very startling."

[10:43] <Eitak_Razal> Then again, with some of the stuff Dusk and I found in the fridge, its not...

[10:44] <Eitak_Razal> We found a pair of feet..... If thats not weird, i don't know what is...

[10:44] * Damsel steps outside the building proper and looks about their surroundings. "It is not an entirely unpleasent change. However, I wonder if it was truely wise. After all, I doubt many of us will actually seem to blend in with the natives. In fact, it may be quite blatent that we are outsiders."

[10:45] <Eitak_Razal> Then those of us who can't blend, will have to stay inside, away from prying eyes...

[10:45] <Dusk> "I would blend in if I bought new clothes"

[10:45] <Eitak_Razal> Same.

[10:46] * Dusk warps back to his home realm

[10:46] <Eitak_Razal> A kimono over leather amour is bound to atract some attention...

[10:46] * Dusk warps back wearing a T-shirt and shorts,

[10:46] <Damsel> "Oh it's not just appearence you know. It'll also be in behaviour patterns and in knowledge of this realm which we are not privy to that will give us away."

[10:48] <Dusk> "oh"

[10:48] * Dusk puts some sunglasses on to cover up his grey eyes

[10:49] <Eitak_Razal> Thats why we keep a low profile, stay here instead of going into town, unless nessiary

[10:49] * Damsel glances at Dusk and smiles slightly. "I suspect you are much more attired for life on Terra rather than Caelestia."

[10:49] <Dusk> "Oh great"

[10:49] * Dusk goes back to his white robes, black trim

[11:51] <>Ambiance<> The Gate bell rings

[11:51] <Nick> Hmmm?

[11:52] <>Ambiance<> The Gate bell rings again

[11:52] * Damsel smiles slightly. "Ah. I expected another caller before long."

[11:52] * Damsel gets up and strides out to the gate.

[11:53] <Katsiki> A rather nice ring>

[11:53] * Quits: Dale|Sleeping (Dale@XD.XD.XD) (Ping timeout)

[11:53] * Dusk walks back into the abode upon hearing the ringing

[11:54] * Nick takes a seat and pulls out a small bottle, uncorks it and takes a drink.

[11:58] * Dusk waves to Nick upon walking into the room

[11:59] * Nick tips the bottle towards Dusk, acknowlodging him.

[12:00] <>Ambiance<> Dariel stands at the gate consideringly

[12:01] * Damsel smiles slightly as she approaches the gate. "Good day to you."

[12:01] <Dusk> ((who is Dariel? Another god?))

[12:01] <Dariel> Am I to be invited in or shall I rest my old bones long on the dusty street?

[12:02] <Dariel> I wondered long and hard about the rumors of sudden life at Master Arden's estate this morning. I did guess it was something of this sort.

[12:02] * Damsel steps aside. "Please, do come in."

[12:02] * Dariel hobbles into the abode gingerly

[12:03] * Dariel So then....

[12:03] * Dariel This is a bit different

[12:03] * Dusk notices someone he doesn't know and waves

[12:03] * Dariel looks at Dusk

[12:04] <Damsel> "Indeed. It has been some time since you last visited us. You are well?"

[12:04] <Dariel> Master Arden has been collecting new adherents I see...

[12:04] <Dariel> I have heard unsettling rumors about his affairs of late... very unsettling rumors

[12:05] <Dariel> It has even been said that Master Arden is on the way out....

[12:05] * Damsel frowns slightly.

[12:05] * Dariel looks at Damsel

[12:05] <Dariel> Can you comment on those rumors Mi'lady.

[12:06] <Dusk> ((Tirlerion? [SP] ))

[12:06] * Nick takes another drink but remains watching.

[12:06] <Damsel> "I'm not certain I should do so..."

[12:07] * Dusk sits in a comfy looking armchair

[12:09] * Damsel smiles lightly. "It almost feels like gossiping about the God of Evil in his own dwelling."

[12:10] <Dusk> "Perhaps we should wait for him to arrive then? Or at least explain the situation?"

[12:12] * Quits: Brink (Brink@9B92D004.2D4D6190.184804C.IP ) (Iced: Keep the Hope of Victory within your mind!)

[12:12] * Quits: Katsiki (Brink@9B92D004.2D4D6190.184804C.IP) (Exterminated: Don't lose hope, nor let hope lose you, cling to it and think of it night and day and be victoriouse!)

[12:13] <Dusk> ((victoriouse?))

[12:13] <Dusk> ((victorian-mousse?))

[12:19] <Dusk> ((it all went quiet >.>))

[12:19] * Quits: Eitak_Razal ( Lazars@7012ADA8.4AF8D811.62E1196F.IP) (Ping timeout)

[12:19] <Dariel> (Chuckling) My dear when you get to be my age... all you have is gossip

[12:20] <Dariel> Am I to take it that Master Arden is again on one of his famous extraplanar junkets?

[12:21] * Damsel smiles a bit more softly for a moment before growing more serious. "It is highly possible, but he hardly keeps us well informed of his affairs."

[12:34] * Elaith yawns and stretches as he awakens.

[12:39] * Korban sits up straight from his slouched position in the chair to the far hand right.

[12:41] * Dusk gets up, walks in to the kitchen and grabs some flour and sugar from a cupboard, he gets some butter and milk from the fridge and some macadamia nuts from another cupboard, he places them all on the worktop, then gets some white chocolate chips from the fridge.

[12:41] * Dusk makes a cookie mixture and puts it onto a baking tray, he then puts it into the oven

[12:41] <Dusk> ((10 minuites from...NOW))

[12:42] * Dusk walks back into the room "Anybody want cookies?"

[12:42] <Dariel> May I sit down

[12:43] <Dariel> I fear the long walk from the university has tired me out

[12:43] <Dale> Hm?

[12:43] * Damsel gestures expansively to take in the chairs. "Oh of course. Please do, in fact."

[12:43] * Korban stares at the newcomer, wondering what exatly his purpose is here.

[12:44] * Elaith watches Dariel with curiosity, admiring the man who summoned Falerin without getting killed as a result.

[12:44] * Gilphon glances towards Dariel, wondering how long he's been being noticed

[12:44] * Dusk sighs and sits down

[12:49] * Damsel grins. "Is there anything else you'd like? We've already had one visitor today who arrived with milk, eggs, and bread."

[12:50] * Dusk goes and gets the cookies from the oven "You can have one of these if you want..."

[12:51] <Elaith> Those look like they could use a minute or so more... *eyes the undercooked cookies warily*

[12:52] * Dusk puts them back in the oven

[12:56] * Dusk takes the cookies out of the oven

[12:56] <Dusk> "I think they're done"

[12:56] <Dusk> "Two minuites extra to make sure"

[12:57] <Elaith> They look good to me.

[12:58] * Dusk sets the cookies down on the table "Feel free to take one" *Munches on a cookie

[12:59] * Elaith decides to stay with Avarie, not wanting to wake her from her slumber by moving about.

[13:00] * Quits: Nick (lincoln14n@Caelestia-570E6237.hsd1.co.comcast.net ) (Iced: )

[13:01] * Joins: Dariel (Falerin@Operator.Caelestia.net)

[13:01] <>Ambiance<> The sound of buisness and machinery can be heard in the distance

[13:02] <Dariel> There is only so much of this my old bones can take

[13:02] <Dariel> especially during this season

[13:02] <>Ambiance<> clouds drift lazily overhead

[13:03] <Damsel> "Well as far as I am concerned, you are welcome to this place just as much as us drifters are."

[13:03] <Dariel> A glass of water though

[13:03] <Dariel> Would be most appreciated

[13:04] <Dariel> Most of the assembled Mi'Lady probably have no idea whom I even am'

[13:04] <Dariel> But thats fine enough

[13:04] <>Ambiance<> Birds chirp softly and a cool breeze blows

[13:04] <Dariel> Thats nice

[13:05] * Dariel smiles

[13:05] <Elaith> You are a cleric of Analla if I recall correctly from reading about you.

[13:05] * Damsel smiles again. "Yes well... Perhaps if they did their studies they might have some idea." She then heads into the kitchen to fetch a glass of water.

[13:05] * Dariel places a finger at his lips

[13:05] <Dariel> We are in Fair Harbour friend

[13:05] <Dariel> On main

[13:06] <Dariel> There is but one God

[13:06] <Dariel> He is Eldron

[13:06] * Dariel winks

[13:06] <Dariel> But you are well read at that

[13:06] <>Ambiance<> In the distance the sound of a fog horn cuts through the afternoon haze.

[13:06] <Dariel> Hmm...

[13:06] <Dariel> ships coming in early

[13:06] <Dariel> That portends things

[13:07] * Damsel returns to Dariel with a full glass of water, a few ice cubes floating on it's surface. "Here you are."

[13:07] * Dusk listens carefully

[13:07] <>Ambiance<> Children run by laughing

[13:07] * Dariel sips at the water with a smile

[13:07] <Dariel> Wonderful and pure....

[13:08] <Dariel> The benefit of being Master Arden is that ones water does not taste like the city supply

[13:08] * Damsel chuckles.

[13:08] <>Ambiance<> clouds drift lazily overhead thickening slightly

[13:08] <Damsel> "If you do not mind me asking, why have you come to this place?"

[13:09] <Dariel> Because Mi'Lady I live in Fair Harbour

[13:09] <Dariel> I have forever

[13:09] <Damsel> "Aye, I recall."

[13:09] <Dariel> And when I heard of the activity here I was a busybody as ever

[13:09] <Dusk> "How can you have lived somewhere forever, when forever is the future aswell?"

[13:09] * Damsel smiles with a soft laugh.

[13:09] * Dariel chuckles and then moans slightly massaging his hands

[13:10] <Dariel> A storm is brewing

[13:10] <Elaith> Since you are of this realm, I was wondering if I might be able to ask a question... the question being "How do marriages operate here?".

[13:10] <Dusk> "Is that a metaphor or a weather forecast?"

[13:10] <>Ambiance<> The noises are quite different here then they were in the forest

[13:10] <Dariel> Both

[13:10] * Dariel looks at Elaith

[13:10] <Dusk> "Ah."

[13:10] <Dariel> That depends on who is sanctioning the marriage

[13:11] <Dariel> Here in main marriage is entirely a legal contract.

[13:11] <Dariel> In the old days the different temples had various different ideas on what the insitution of marriage was

[13:12] <Elaith> My hope is to have it sanctioned by Falerin. Unfortunately, finding him can be a bit problematic when things are as busy as they are now.

[13:12] <Dariel> On the far continents marriages are variable in the extreme

[13:12] <Dariel> Falerin?

[13:12] <Dariel> I cannot speak to Mister Arden preforming a wedding

[13:12] <Dariel> Though he certainly has the authority to do so

[13:13] <Dariel> I rather gather his church rarely entertains such prefering instead cloak and dagger tawdry affairs

[13:13] <Dariel> and rumpled bedsheets at 30 dollar motels

[13:13] <Dariel> Still

[13:13] <Dariel> He has been known to adopt what ever custom suits him

[13:14] * Elaith shifts uncomfortably at that summarization of the church.

[13:14] * Damsel has to drop her head to hide her amused expression.

[13:14] * Dusk looks down at the floor, giggling

[13:15] <Elaith> Hopefully I will find him and gain his assent then.

[13:15] * Joins: Eitak_Razal ( Lazars@7012ADA8.4AF8D811.62E1196F.IP)

[13:15] * Reality sets mode: +v Eitak_Razal

[13:16] <Elaith> I missed his last visit to the area while I was out looking for him. Perhaps if I just planned everything else, eventually he will make a return in a situation that allows time for such an event.

[13:16] <>Ambiance<> A soft rain begins to fall

[13:16] <Dariel> Hmm

[13:17] <Dariel> I believe I best get back home before this accelerates

[13:17] <Dariel> I will see you all later

[13:17] * Dariel hobbles to the gate

[13:17] * Dariel is now known as Falerin

[13:17] <Elaith> Farewell sir.

[13:17] * Dariel opens the gate and wanders out

[13:17] <>Ambiance<> The rain begins to intensify and the wind picks up

[13:17] <Dusk> "Bye."

[13:18] * Damsel watches the man leave with a small smile. "It was good to see him again."

[13:18] <>Ambiance<> The sky darkens visibly

[13:18] <>Ambiance<> Lightning slashes through the darkened sky.

[13:18] <>Ambiance<> Thunder crashes loudly shaking the building and reverberating.

[13:18] * Damsel lets her smile fade as she looks towards the sky. "Hmm... a storm indeed. A rather swiftly moving one. I hope he makes it back safely."

[13:18] <>Ambiance<> A forked lightning bolt touches down somewhere in the distance

[13:19] <Elaith> So, to the basement for everyone? Shaking buildings are rarely a positve sign.

[13:19] <Gilphon> ok... where is the basement?

[13:19] <Damsel> "I... I'm not certain we have a basement. Or where it might be located."

[13:19] <Dale> Well, we've made up rooms in the past.

[13:19] <Dale> Let's do it again.

[13:20] <Elaith> I know we have one somewhere. Lkeas said she took that one cursed scroll there to banish it.

[13:20] * Elaith nudges Avarie into wakefulness.

[13:21] <>Ambiance<> The rain continues to intensify.

[13:21] * Avarie comes awake with a small start of surprise, looking up with sleep-clouded eyes at Elaith.

[13:21] <>Ambiance<> Children run by trying to seek shelter from the summer storm.

[13:22] <>Ambiance<> The rain lessens and the wind and lightning stops.

[13:22] <Gilphon> huh?

[13:22] * Damsel moves to the doorway and looks out, not really minding if she gets splashed by the rain.

[13:22] <>Ambiance<> An occasional rumble is heard in the distance.

[13:23] <Elaith> There was a big storm it appeared. I just wanted to wake you in case we had to move into the basement.

[13:23] <Gilphon> er... so that's it?

[13:24] * Avarie looks around, beginning to come more awake. "A storm?"

[13:24] <Eitak_Razal> Whats with all the rain...

[13:24] <>Ambiance<> The rain becomes a gentle mist.

[13:24] * Eitak_Razal watchs the rain die down as she says this.

[13:24] * Damsel smiles as she continues to watch out the doorway.

[13:24] <Eitak_Razal> Ok strike that.. whats with the little bit of rain.

[13:25] <Elaith> Yes, but don't worry, it seems to have passed for the time being. Maybe we shall even see a rainbow.

[13:25] * Avarie smiles at Elaith for a moment before a look of confusion crosses her face. "Is that the sea I smell?"

[13:25] * Joins: Dusk1 (sbbank45@Caelestia-8EBB1353.ipt.aol.com )

[13:26] <>Ambiance<> Birds chirp softly and a cool breeze blows

[13:26] <>Ambiance<> The sound of buisness and machinery resumes and it fills the manse with a strange sense of quiet reality

[13:26] * Quits: Dusk (sbbank45@Caelestia-8EBB1353.ipt.aol.com) (Ping timeout)

[13:26] <Elaith> We're in Fair Harbour.

[13:26] <Eitak_Razal> That was... Surpiseingly normal...

[13:26] * YoungMan descends the stairs dressed in a blue buisness suit. His hair is a deep roan and his eyes a soft brown.

[13:26] * Dusk1 is now known as Dusk

[13:26] * Reality sets mode: +v Dusk

[13:27] <YoungMan> The storm is a normal affect of summer.

[13:27] * Eitak_Razal looks over at the man, her hand is hidden in the tie of her kimono.

[13:27] <YoungMan> Cold fronts warm fronts you can ask the meterologists

[13:27] <YoungMan> They happen almost weekly sometimes daily

[13:27] * Dusk eats one of the cookies he made before "Yum"

[13:27] * Gilphon spins around as the man speaks, not having noticed his arrival

[13:27] * Avarie shakes her head gently. "Fair harbor?"

[13:28] * Damsel turns around and looks at the man, a small smile tugging at her lips. "Good day to you. It would appear to be a day for guests."

[13:28] <Elaith> This land is the province of Eldron.

[13:28] <Gilphon> heh, I guess this Harbor isn't so "Fair" after all

[13:29] * Elaith is speaking softly to Avarie *

[13:29] <Dusk> "Certainly not fairweather"

[13:29] <Eitak_Razal> Who are you, if I may be so bold to ask?

[13:29] * Avarie stiffles a yawn with a hand, then nods in understanding. "So still within Caelestia then."

[13:30] * Eitak_Razal mutters, first fal, then a door to door sales men, then this guy...

[13:30] <Dusk> "Don't forget Dariel."

[13:30] <Youngman> Guests yes... you might say that I am Arden de'Rilorn

[13:31] <Dusk> "You are the 'owner' of the abode?"

[13:31] <Youngman> Though should any be called guests it is not I

[13:31] * Damsel chuckles. "Forgive my oversite then. I was unaware."

[13:32] <Arden> so it seems was I

[13:32] <Arden> I did not expect guests

[13:32] <Eitak_Razal> I thought the Abode was the property of Faleirn. How can you claim to be owner if he is?

[13:32] <Arden> When life gives us lemons we make lemonade

[13:32] <Dusk> "Then why did you order those supplies?"

[13:32] <Elaith> The abode is Falerin's former home.

[13:33] <Arden> Falerin? Who is this Falerin pray tell My Lady?

[13:33] <Dale> Arden?

[13:33] <Dale> Hm...

[13:33] * Eitak_Razal stares at Arden.

[13:33] <Dale> Didn't Falerin say he was an elf before god-hood? Or something of the sort?

[13:33] <Arden> I am but a humble friar

[13:33] * Dusk looks suspiciously at Arden

[13:34] * Damsel reguards Arden with a quiet curiousity.

[13:34] <Arden> I am but a monk.

[13:34] <Arden> Father Arden de'Rilorn

[13:34] <Dusk> "But do you own this establishment?"

[13:34] <Arden> Fa. Arden de'Rilorn

[13:34] <Arden> This is my estate.

[13:34] <Dale> Bwahaha.

[13:34] <Elaith> Ah.

[13:34] <Arden> My families estate

[13:34] * Dale bursts into laughter.

[13:34] <Eitak_Razal> You are an analog

[13:35] <Dusk> "And if you did not expect guests then why did you order those supplies?"

[13:35] * Eitak_Razal lowers her guard a little.

[13:35] * Dale falls to the ground in laughter.

[13:35] <Arden> Order?

[13:35] * Elaith bows his head * "Pleasure to make your acquaintance Father."

[13:35] <Arden> You placed the order.

[13:35] <Dusk> "We did?"

[13:35] <Arden> Madam Damsel did

[13:35] <Arden> I observed her do so myself

[13:35] <Dusk> "Hmmmm,"

[13:35] <Eitak_Razal> Well, technecily, but the merchent kinda forced it onto us

[13:36] <Arden> As for Falerin

[13:36] * Damsel shakes her head slightly at the antics of her companions. "Aye, I suppose I did, though the man mentioned a prior arrangement. You are suggesting that was mine as well?"

[13:36] <Arden> Whomever he might be

[13:36] <Arden> He clearly is no where near here

[13:36] <Eitak_Razal> Falerin, the god of evil here on Caelestia and loremaster on Lore, how can you not know who is.

[13:36] <Arden> The God of Evil

[13:36] <Arden> .... what apotasy ...

[13:36] <Arden> If the temple heard such words they would have you in shackles'

[13:36] <Dusk> ((more dictionary searching for me now))

[13:36] <Arden> There is one God

[13:37] <Eitak_Razal> And you, My good sir, are an analog of him!

[13:37] <Arden> That god is Eldron

[13:37] <Arden> You are mistaken Madam

[13:37] * Damsel sighs. "Eitak, I would suggest you cease this line of conversation."

[13:37] <Arden> I am not an analog

[13:37] <Eitak_Razal> Rearange you name

[13:37] <Damsel> "Eitak. Enough."

[13:37] <Eitak_Razal> It spells out Fal's name.

[13:37] * Eitak_Razal falls silent

[13:37] * Arden smiles

[13:38] <Arden> I am Master Arden

[13:38] <Arden> That is what I am known by here

[13:38] <Damsel> "He is well aware of what is and what isn't. And what isn't is that individual's influence here. THe one god is Eldron. No others."

[13:38] <Arden> I have been master arden for a good 50 years

[13:38] <Arden> I am not an analog of your Lorian friend

[13:38] <Arden> I am but a messenger thereof

[13:38] <Arden> Untill recently on vacation in Valoria

[13:39] <Arden> Called back to tend my estates buisness rather abruptly

[13:39] <Arden> Though I have made sure my accounts are present

[13:39] * Damsel nods her head in understanding.

[13:39] <Arden> I am no more analog the Lanfire Dupre is

[13:39] * Eitak_Razal still has her hand in her kimono

[13:39] <Arden> Or your Traveller

[13:39] <Dusk> ((what is she doing in there?!))

[13:39] * Dale whispers silently to himself. "Not an analog, but Falerin himself."

[13:40] <Elaith> Avarat, Dale. Avarat.

[13:40] * Damsel flinches visibly.

[13:40] <Eitak_Razal> ((A posiened needles, though she can't throw them for crap"

[13:40] * Arden chuckles

[13:40] <Arden> Vapid

[13:40] <Arden> Yes and no yes and no

[13:40] <Arden> I am a mirror

[13:40] * Eitak_Razal wishs she had a dictonary present

[13:41] <Dale> (( Apparently people have superhuman hearing. ))

[13:41] <Eitak_Razal> Similer to how I am a mirror to Katie Lazar of terra?

[13:41] * Arden looks at Dale

[13:41] <Eitak_Razal> or a diffrent kind of mirror?

[13:41] <Gilphon> not a mirror at all, persay

[13:41] * Arden thinks at Dale (No sir.. not hearing at all)

[13:41] * Arden thinks at Dale (I can read your mind)

[13:41] <Eitak_Razal> ((In my case mirror = oppositoe peronaitly same appearance))

[13:41] * Arden smiles and goes to his kitchen

[13:42] <Arden> Ooh they have started a new type of bread have they

[13:42] <Arden> A fine streusel

[13:42] <Arden> their desert breads are always lovely

[13:42] <Dale> (( Well I didn't mean you. XD I kinda figured you could. >.> ))

[13:42] * Damsel chuckles.

[13:42] * Arden takes out a large serated blade

[13:42] <Dusk> "How did you know?"

[13:42] * Arden slices off a large slice and frowns

[13:42] <Eitak_Razal> If the fridge is the same one that was in fal's abode, i'd stay out...

[13:43] <Arden> Should have ordered creamery butter

[13:43] <Damsel> "I'm not certain what exactly the merchant called it. Some sort of berry."

[13:43] <Eitak_Razal> We found some feet in there...

[13:43] * Arden opens the large stainless steel fridge and looks inside

[13:43] <Arden> Eggs but no butter

[13:44] <Damsel> "If you like, I can speak with the merchant tomorrow about altering the order to include some upon further deliveries."

[13:44] * Arden gestures and speaks slowly and clearly

[13:44] <Arden> "Creamery Butter 2 pounds"

[13:44] <Arden> "1 quart of heavy cream"

[13:44] <Eitak_Razal> Its not the same fridge... Last i checked the frigde spawned what you were looking for.... Unless you were just browseing then it burried you in food...

[13:44] <Arden> "1 quart double creme"

[13:44] * Eitak_Razal finds a memo pad.

[13:44] <Arden> "A side of bacon"

[13:44] * Dale is now known as Dale|away

[13:44] * Damsel laughs softly.

[13:45] <Arden> "Charaged to the de'Rilorn account"

[13:45] <Damsel> "I think you'll find, Eitak, that some rules have altered based on our new location."

[13:45] * Arden gestures again

[13:45] * Arden smiles

[13:45] * Arden fumbles under the counter

[13:45] <Arden> "Now where did I put the toast oven"

[13:45] <Eitak_Razal> I've noticed damsel. We haven't had any sudden furniture appearing... I'm guessing the magic wardrobe doesn't work either...

[13:46] * Dusk munches on his cookie "Anybody else want one before I eat them all?"

[13:46] <Damsel> "The only god here is Eldron. I suspect much that might call attention to how that might in any way be otherwise will be prohibbited."

[13:47] <>Ambiance<> A large crate floats into the kitchen

[13:47] <Eitak_Razal> I assume we shouldn't speak of Fal outside of the building...

[13:47] * Arden walks over to the crate

[13:47] * Damsel steps into the kitchen with Arden. "Would you like for me to lend a hand?"

[13:47] <Arden> Certainly

[13:47] * Arden takes out a Quart of cream and passes it to Damsel

[13:47] <Arden> 1 quart cream

[13:47] * Damsel glances over her shoulder. "I wouldn't speak of him at all unless absolutely necessary."

[13:47] * Eitak_Razal nods

[13:47] * Arden takes out another bottle

[13:47] <Arden> 1 quart Double Creme

[13:48] * Dusk walks into the kitchen "Need any help?"

[13:48] * Arden takes out a wax paper bundle

[13:48] <Arden> A side of bacon

[13:48] <Arden> "Yes yes start putting things away"

[13:48] * Damsel begins putting the items passed to her away.

[13:48] * Arden takes out 2 crocks

[13:48] * Dusk puts the side of bacon in the fridge

[13:48] * Eitak_Razal walks into the kitchen to help.

[13:48] <Arden> 2 pounds creamery butter

[13:48] * Eitak_Razal takes the butter and places it in the fridge

[13:49] <Arden> Whats this then

[13:49] <Arden> A half gallon of fresh clementine juice

[13:49] <Arden> I did not order that

[13:49] <Dusk> "perhaps it was a freebie?"

[13:50] <Eitak_Razal> We didn't order it..

[13:50] * Damsel chuckles.

[13:50] * Arden takes out two glass bottles of yellow orange liquid

[13:50] <Arden> Fortune favors the bold

[13:50] <Arden> Thank you you may return to your demiplane

[13:50] * Arden gestures

[13:50] <Eitak_Razal> I thought it was the brave..

[13:50] <Arden> You need a thesauri man

[13:51] <Arden> *mam

[13:51] <Arden> "Now then"

[13:51] <Arden> "The rules have changed in part here due to capability"

[13:51] <Arden> "It is a matter of economy"

[13:52] * Damsel smiles slightly more broadly.

[13:52] * Eitak_Razal would normally say something like "I was just correcting the statement", but isn't since he's the owner of the new place..

[13:52] <Eitak_Razal> No more free food?

[13:52] <Arden> "I can get fresh butter from the dairy that is better then any I would conjure magically from the Aether"

[13:52] * Dusk listens to Arden carefully

[13:52] <Arden> "It is therefore not economical to save money but waste energy"

[13:52] * Damsel nods her head in understanding.

[13:52] <Arden> "Any item you can obtain from the city will not mystically provide itself to you any further"

[13:52] <Dusk> "Of course"

[13:53] <Arden> "On the other hand items that you cannot"

[13:53] <Arden> "Can and still will"

[13:53] <Arden> "Though less obtrusively"

[13:53] <Arden> This Double Creme would be great with a Lorian Begelberry pie

[13:53] * Arden opens the refrigerator and takes out a pie

[13:53] <Arden> Simply not made on Caelestia

[13:53] <Dusk> "So...basically, anything we cannot get ourselves, will get itself"

[13:53] <Arden> the plant does not even exist

[13:53] * Arden cuts himself a slice

[13:54] <Arden> Though to be fair

[13:54] * Damsel begins laughing softly.

[13:54] <Arden> THey say the place is haunted by dark forces

[13:55] <Dusk> "they?"

[13:55] <Arden> I cannot imagine what ever gave them that idea

[13:55] * Arden takes a bite of pie

[13:55] <Eitak_Razal> ((PM everything between my last statment and the time I just joined))

[13:55] * Damsel raises a hand to her lips to help stiffle the increased mirth.

[13:55] <Eitak_Razal> (({Please))

[13:56] <Eitak_Razal> My castle at home is much the same way Father Arden. Guests often get lost, thus spreading rumors of people vanishing.

[13:57] * Damsel regains a bit of control on her merriment after a moment and lets her hand drop back to her side. "Well I am certain that we can deal with more mundane methods. In fact, it may do a large number of those here some good to do so."

[13:57] <Dusk> "My castle is a bit more...roomy."

[13:57] * Dusk changes to his shorts, t-shirt, sandals and sunglasses ensemble

[13:58] <Dusk> ((not actually changing, just uh...morphs them on))

[13:58] <Eitak_Razal> You still kinda stand out..

[13:58] * Gilphon appears to be biting his lip, refraining from comenting on this subjet

[13:58] * Damsel glances at Dusk and nods her head slightly. "That reminds me. How problematic will the appearance of those here be should we venture into the city?"

[13:59] * Eitak_Razal turns to Damsel, and says "Some of us know how to keep a low profile and blend into a crowd...

[13:59] <Dusk> "What is the general atire of the city?"

[13:59] * Damsel shrugs her shoulders slightly. "Is that so? You know the proper greetings of individuals is within this realm?"

[14:00] <Damsel> "The accepted way to conduct business, to say goodbye, their traditions, their terminology?"

[14:00] <Eitak_Razal> No.. I would not great some one till i was greeted first, or i would listen to find it out before opening my mouth

[14:00] * Damsel chuckles softly.

[14:00] <Eitak_Razal> Blending into a crowd is diffrent from interacting.

[14:01] <Damsel> "Sometimes it is unavoidable."

[14:01] <Dusk> "What if you wanted to buy something?"

[14:01] <Dusk> "Do you even know the currency?"

[14:01] <Eitak_Razal> Then I do one of my best skills.. Lie...

[14:02] * Reality sets mode: +v Crash

[14:02] * Damsel chuckles again and helps herself to a slice of the strange-berry bread the merchant brought earlier.

[14:03] * Dusk eats another cookie

[14:03] <Eitak_Razal> I would invent a fake Idenity for use in the town, a false location of reidance and a false reason for being here

[14:03] <Eitak_Razal> ((BRB..))

[14:03] <Gilphon> ((how many cookies do you have, Dusk?))

[14:03] <Crash> ((Can I have a cookie?))

[14:03] <Dusk> And how would you even make money, i wouldnt assume they have an interplanetary beurau de change"

[14:04] <Damsel> "Your overconfidence that you are infalible will be your downfall, I suspect. After all, we know little about Caelestian naming traditions or their geography."

[14:04] <Dusk> ((yes, and around 14 cookies))

[14:04] <Damsel> "Sometimes you have to admit your limitations before you can actually hope to succeed."

[14:05] <Dusk> "We don't even know much about their culture, what if you said something that was taboo without even realising it?"

[14:05] * Damsel takes a small bite of the bread to gauge it's flavor.

[14:07] * Damsel considers a moment. "He's right. It could use some butter." She moves to the refrigerator to retrieve the container.

[14:07] <Dusk> or their geography."

[14:08] * Damsel spreads a small layer of butter on the bread, then returns the container to the refrigerator. Again she tries the bread and smiles. "Much improved."

[14:09] * Dusk takes another bite out of his cookie

[14:09] * Eitak_Razal refrains from eating,

[14:09] <Eitak_Razal> Who said i had to say i was from around here...

[14:10] <Eitak_Razal> Or that my parents were from here.

[14:10] <Beo> Hmm.

[14:10] * Damsel smirks slightly and leans against one of the counters as she finishes her snack.

[14:11] <Beo> It could have broken.

[14:11] <Damsel> "Somehow I doubt that would make things any better. In fact, it could complicate matters quite nastily."

[14:11] <Beo> It could have broken.

[14:11] <Beo> You should be more careful with those, you know.

[14:13] <Eitak_Razal> Though it would be nice to learn. Please tell us about the Area...

[14:17] * Damsel quietly eats for a time, a thoughtful look on her face.

[14:19] * Eitak_Razal ((Assumes Fal has gone afk))

[15:03] <Arden> Oh and.... really if you want to use honorifics the appropriate one to use with me is Dono

[15:03] * Eitak_Razal nods.

[15:03] <Eitak_Razal> If we are to stay in the area.. We need to know basic things that will help us blend in, should we need to leave the abode.

[15:05] <Arden> You are being decidely generic

[15:05] <Arden> It is not very hard to aquaint oneselves with Fair Harbour and it is a port city

[15:06] <Arden> meaning that they are used to many different sorts of people

[15:06] * Damsel smiles softly as she returns to the kitchen in order to better hear the conversation.

[15:07] <Eitak_Razal> We can't exactly have a 15 year old queen, A guy with wings, a lizard man, a talking plushie, a klutzy cleric, amoung others, walking around can we?

[15:09] <Arden> Hmm

[15:09] <Arden> Nothing untoward so far

[15:09] <Arden> Though you might wish to have the cleric hide his holy symbol

[15:09] <Arden> or at least his intentions

[15:10] <Eitak_Razal> And a person with wings, a lizard man and a talking plushie aren't going to draw un-needed attione

[15:10] <Arden> I sent an invisible servant to do my shopping....

[15:10] <Eitak_Razal> The talking box

[15:10] <Eitak_Razal> oh

[15:10] * Damsel chuckles.

[15:11] <Arden> You apparently are confused

[15:11] <Eitak_Razal> I understand now

[15:11] <Arden> While the technological level of Caelestia here may be higher then it once was

[15:11] <Arden> this is still Caelestia

[15:11] <Arden> it is a world of the Arcane

[15:11] <Arden> A lizard? A Talking Doll, An insane sorcerer who talks to his hat, a rambling mad invisible cat

[15:12] <Arden> It's common place

[15:12] <Arden> Especially here at Fair Harbor

[15:12] <Arden> it is the center of government of Main

[15:12] <Arden> It is one of the largest Caelestian ports

[15:13] <Arden> If you are used to being unique and different and quirky

[15:13] <Arden> I fear you have lost your throne

[15:13] * Damsel grins. "Well that certainly simplifies matters. I had hoped such would be the case."

[15:13] <Arden> Here in fairharbor you are vanilla

[15:14] <Arden> You cannot even scratch together a butter brickle among the lot of you

[15:14] <Arden> And you are miles away from the last thing Twig offered...

[15:14] <Arden> nevermind

[15:14] <Eitak_Razal> Wait@

[15:14] <Eitak_Razal> What was that about twig?

[15:15] <Arden> They grow on trees?

[15:15] <Arden> Hold buds

[15:15] * Arden goes back into the kitchen and pours some milk which mysteriously turns dark brown as it flows

[15:15] <Eitak_Razal> Then I assume you aren't familer with the Moglin of lore of the same name...

[15:15] * Arden looks up with a frown

[15:15] <Damsel> "So that one has been to Caelestia, has he? Hardly surprising, I would say."

[15:16] <Arden> If I wanted chocolate I would have ordered theirs readymade

[15:16] <Eitak_Razal> Ah ha...

[15:16] <>Ambiance<> The milk reverts to white

[15:16] * Eitak_Razal smiles thinly

[15:16] * Damsel grins.

[15:16] <Eitak_Razal> Then again, whith tha teleport, i'm not surpised.

[15:17] * Quits: Gilphon ( Gilphon@Caelestia-8C37DB6F.dsl.bell.ca) (Vanished: Web IRC Disconnected)

[15:17] * Eitak_Razal makes a memo to interigate the moglin

[15:18] <XDale> (( ... ))

[15:18] <Arden> Moglin? Lore? You must have me confused with another.

[15:18] * Eitak_Razal smiles thinly

[15:18] <Arden> I am going for a stroll

[15:18] * Arden puts the empty glass in the sink and exits onto the back terrace

[15:19] <Eitak_Razal> ... He could at least wash the glass..

[15:20] <>Ambiance<> The water turns on in the sink

[15:20] <>Ambiance<> The glass levitates into a small box which then closes

[15:20] * Damsel giggles.

[15:20] * Eitak_Razal lets out a small laugh

[15:20] <>Ambiance<> The box emits a series of noises

[15:20] <>Ambiance<> The glass levitates out onto a shelf.

[15:21] <Eitak_Razal> I need to learn how to do that...

[15:21] * Damsel watches quitely after Arden for a moment, just now realizing they do in fact have a back terrace.

[15:21] <Eitak_Razal> Wait... since when does the abode have a terrace...

[15:22] * Eitak_Razal is looking in the same direction as Damsel

[15:22] <Eitak_Razal> Wait... I know... Since we moved here...

[15:23] <Damsel> "Since he wished it to I suspect."

[15:23] <Eitak_Razal> That will be a nice place to relax... If it sticks around...

[15:23] <>Ambiance<> The rear of the abode is large sloping series of terraces step like and layered. At the far end is a large stone wall which wraps arround the estate to the front where it is met by the wrought iron fence and gate that bar entry. In the rear there is a narrow archway and a door suggesting an exit onto a back alley. This door is currently open and Arden slips through it

[01:16] * Arden enters and looks about slowly.

[01:16] <Little_Brown_Box> Weather changes fast here.

[01:16] <Krosha> Ok Deathbringer

[01:16] * Dale looks over at Arden. "Good evening.

[01:16] <Dale> "

[01:16] <Little_Brown_Box> Two strangers in one night! Goody!

[01:16] <Arden> We are entertaining the dead?

[01:17] * Arden goes into the kitchen and pours a glass of milk from the refrigerator noncommitally

[01:18] * Arden Drinks the milk rapidly and then suddenly furious throws the empty glass to the ground where it shatters into a million peices

[01:18] <Little_Brown_Box> Well, I really think that the dead are more entertaining than we are at this point.

[01:19] <Little_Brown_Box> See? A frustrating lack of amusement.

[01:19] <Krosha> ((Then lets DANCE!!))

[01:19] <Little_Brown_Box> ((Cheya!))

[01:19] * Arden Damn the Council and their decrees.... they are going far to far....

[01:20] <Deathbringer> Hmm?

[01:20] * LordBarrius lifts his head at the sound of the glass shattering to eye this new arrival more carefully.

[01:20] <Little_Brown_Box> I'll bet!

[01:20] <Little_Brown_Box> Councils have an annoying tendancy to do that.

[01:20] * Dale notices that Falerin likes to have things shatter into a million peices.

[01:21] * Arden takes up the milk bottle as if too poor another glass and then looks about in seeming bafflement

[01:22] <Arden> What happened to the glass I just had...

[01:22] <Deathbringer> You... you threw it down and it shattered...

[01:22] <Little_Brown_Box> Oh no.

[01:22] <Little_Brown_Box> Another one.

[01:22] <Little_Brown_Box> Why do we get so many people with amnesia?\\

[01:22] * Joins: Kaz (romulus777@Wishes.He.Could.Change.His.Hostmask)

[01:22] * Reality sets mode: +v Kaz

[01:22] * Arden looks at Deathbringer coldly

[01:23] <Little_Brown_Box> Or other assorted memory problems?

[01:23] <Arden> Do not be ridiculous. I did no such thing.

[01:23] <Little_Brown_Box> Did so! I taped it!

[01:23] <Dale> Yes, yes you did.

[01:23] <Arden> Had I done so.. there would be glass on the floor

[01:23] * Arden gestures at a spotless floor no sign of any trouble

[01:23] <Deathbringer> Whoa...

[01:24] * Little_Brown_Box clicks, and a small panel slides open. A miniature projector emerges, and shines upon the floor, replaying the scene with the smashing cup.

[01:24] <Little_Brown_Box> That's mildly paradoxical.

[01:24] * Damsel opens her eyes quietly and smiles.

[01:24] <Deathbringer> Am... am I seeing things then?

[01:24] <Kaz> ((look at the roof, it's covered in glass, as are the walls))

[01:24] <Little_Brown_Box> No, I saw it too.

[01:24] * Arden patently ignores the projector as an impossible example of godmoding

[01:24] * Little_Brown_Box decides that it didn't happen then.

[01:25] <Arden> What ever your say you saw.... clearly did not happen as you saw it

[01:25] <Deathbringer> I suppose not...

[01:25] * Arden reaches into the sink and draws out a glass still with some milk at the bottom.

[01:25] * Kaz wakes up, not knowing what the heck just happened

[01:26] <Arden> Here we are... it apparently got put in the sink

[01:26] <Damsel> "Good eve to you, Master Arden."

[01:26] <Deathbringer> So it did...

[01:26] * Deathbringer rubs his eyes.

[01:26] * Arden pours another glass of milk which turns bright blue and he sips it before looking to Damsel

[01:27] <Little_Brown_Box> Alright. That does it. Bloody prestidigitator...

[01:27] <Arden> Good morrow I fear the clock struck the new day even as I left the council hall

[01:28] <Arden> And I have grown quite weary..... do try to keep your festivities down. I am retiring to my bedroom

[01:28] <Little_Brown_Box> We have festivities? Since when?

[01:28] <Kaz> woah, the Chaos department is handled Mariel, not that you'd care

[01:28] * Kaz blinks

[01:28] <Little_Brown_Box> Why was I not informed of this? This is an outrage! Deplorable I say!

[01:28] * Arden gestures and the glass levitates into a small box which makes several noises before a clean glass levitates out of the box onto the shelf

[01:28] <Damsel> "We will certainly do our best not to rouse you."

[01:29] * Arden I will take your word at that... and will hold you to keeping it too

[01:29] * Arden ascends the central stairway two steps at a time

[01:30] <Kaz> oh goodness, I have to leave now...

[01:30] * Damsel watches Arden depart for a moment, then turns to the others. "Right, you hear the proprietor."

[01:30] <Little_Brown_Box> Who was that, why did he just mess with the dishes, and why was I not informed that we had festivities?

[01:30] <Kaz> I'm too noisy

[01:31] * Quits: Jeice (Jeice@Operator.Caelestia.net) (Iced: I shall return...eventually... maybe...someday...soon...possibly...)

[01:31] <Damsel> "That is Arden. He is the owner of this place, a mirror of who owned the abode, and a monk of sorts."

[01:32] <Deathbringer> Hm...

[01:33] <Little_Brown_Box> And what is with these "festivities"?

[01:33] * Joins: Romulus (romulus777@Caelestia-D54FDDAE.no.no.cox.net)

[01:33] * Reality sets mode: +v Romulus

[01:33] * Quits: Kaz ( romulus777@Wishes.He.Could.Change.His.Hostmask) (Ping timeout)

[01:34] <Krosha> I think he means just keep it down.

[01:34] <Little_Brown_Box> Bah.

[01:35] * Romulus is now known as Kaz

[01:35] * Joins: John ( Entonis@Caelestia-EFFB15D7.dsl.stlsmo.swbell.net)

[01:35] * Reality sets mode: +v John

[01:38] * Krosha shuffles into the kitchen, looks at the food and walks back after a few seconds.

[01:39] <Little_Brown_Box> ...can we have a festivity now?

[01:39] <>Ambiance<> Arden appears next to Krosha

[01:40] <Arden> Do not suppose that you can slip under my radar my friend

[01:40] * Arden smiles

[01:40] <Kaz> hehe, he's good

[01:40] * Damsel laughs quietly. "Oh, I believe I will like it here very much."

[01:40] * Krosha looks at Arden in sruprise.

[01:41] <Arden> Do make yourself at home in my estate.

[01:41] * Arden reascends the stairs
