Session Start: Fri Jan 03 22:23:52 2003 Session Ident: Cicada [22:23] got your map? [22:24] Yep. [22:24] use map, then we can make sure we don't all get confuseled [23:31] sanyet wants to know what is going to happen about the whole "I'm turning into a goddamn sidereal" thing [23:39] concern? [23:40] ?? [23:40] The above thing. [23:40] ah [23:40] The sid thingie. [23:40] I don't think he wants to talk about that.. [23:40] Ah. [23:40] But he said... oh well... [23:40] he asked you [23:41] he doesn't know your friends yet [23:42] "Well, I suppose we are going to bring you along. See that man Jynaru is talking about. And get you to safety at the same time, just in case." [23:42] "I suppose you want to go see your friends and Iluelye first, though." [23:43] "yea.. I'm just a little worried is all.." [23:44] "I believe you." [23:44] "Oh, and I have something to tell you later that will make you worry even more, but in a much more pleasant way." [23:45] * Cicada smiles conspiratorically and winks. [23:45] He looks at you with some surprise and laughter [23:46] "Allright.. Should we go without them?" [23:48] "To your sisters place, that might work best. Jynaru will likely try to stick to like a burr though." [23:48] "The others need time to do their thing with the ruler." [23:49] He nods [00:17] Heh, maybe Forked River rises a pillar of water with poor Cic inside it, which 'just happen' to rip her clothes off or something? :) [00:19] lol [00:19] nah he is too far away [00:19] Would give Cic material to strangle other chars for months to come. [00:21] * Storylteller laughs [00:21] there will be plenty of that later. [00:21] Riiiight... put me at ease, why don7t you? [00:23] :P [00:26] Should I get away or is staying part of my role as priestess? [00:27] up to you really... [00:27] * Storylteller can see it either way [00:27] if you want to talk to him, stay [00:27] if you are busy, get out of there [00:35] * Cicada is going to update Forked River on all the new developments, even her personal ones if he wants to hear them. And then get what instructions and advice she can get from him. [00:35] ok [00:36] He says there is something wrong with the spirit [00:36] it smells like the ocean [00:36] The spirit? [00:36] the one possessing the empress [00:37] Uh oh. [00:37] And the spirit of the Ocean is evil? [00:38] well we all know how much he likes the ocean [00:39] We do indeed. [00:39] I suppose he is not being all that objective. [00:39] * Storylteller nods [00:40] He says to take Sanyet to the old man... he'll be safe there [00:40] * Cicada thanks him for that advice. [00:40] and he notes that tei smells like the sea too... she must be where the fishiness is coming from [00:40] No really...? [00:41] * Cicada supposes that she should warn Tei from bathing in Forked River anymore. [00:41] * Storylteller laughs [00:42] nah gets that salt out of him [00:42] Cool, might advice him to bathe then. :) [00:42] he says to ask if you need help crossing the river [00:43] it should not be long before he is powerful enough to help others cross him [00:43] Right now Cicada just wants to get back to the others again, before they drag Sanyet somewhere. :) [00:43] Hmm [00:43] * Cicada will keep that in mind though. [00:44] where you want him to drop you off? [00:44] What about Cicada's further duties to Forked River? [00:44] hm [00:44] you've done enough for now [00:44] Where Sanyet is waiting with some CLOTHES! [00:44] he'll call you if he needs you [00:44] well he is still on the balcony [00:45] Goody. [00:45] * Cicada will send sanyet instruction to get her some clothes and where to wait. [00:47] btw, I assume the treaty contained all the various stuff about the rulers praying, the dams and so? [00:48] yeap [00:49] Ok. [00:50] hmmm what else can I do for poor cicada [00:50] Not much, I suppose. [00:51] allright, time to spit you back up [00:51] You can do plenty TO her, of course. [00:51] ohhh don't worry [00:51] I will. [00:51] .... [00:51] * Cicada feels a lot safer... [00:52] * Cicada and Forked River likely spoke of many things. You can always tell me more later. [00:52] * Storylteller rubs his chin [00:52] sorry minds just blank [00:52] Well, it is kind of late. [00:53] I woke up at like 8 hours ago it shouldn't be bathering me [01:05] If you are still fresh, then maybe do the trip to the Sunset Sieves house now? [01:06] allright let me take a break.. I need to figure out why i'm so lightbrained [01:06] Ok, eat some food, have a drink, something. [01:07] yea [01:14] oh right. The o [01:14] ld river was going to tell you youre pregnant if you don't have a problem with that [01:16] Cool, thought I had to see a midwife or something. [01:16] heh [01:16] nah he's a spirit. spirits know these things [01:18] * Cicada will freak out poor Sanyet by being seen making offerings to spirits dealing with pregnancy, safe childbirth and strong children. ;) [01:23] I think Sanyet won't mind so much [01:23] In fact he seems HAPPY [01:23] BOO! [01:25] * Cicada is going to tell him that she is bearing his child while they drive home in the carriage. So he is likely going to make offerings as well, and if they are lucky then Nenpart is not going to be embaressed silly by the noises coming from inside the carriage after she tells him. ;) [01:26] heh [01:26] * Storylteller suspects his reaction will involve pulling the drapes [01:26] Clever boy. [01:29] * Cicada is anything but eager to leave behind the farm again. But if she has to for Sanyet's sake... [01:30] neither is he [01:30] * Cicada will also make sure to tell Arianna that they are getting ready to do something about fallen Tounge and anything she or the other Firesharks know about the demon and his movements would be of great help. [01:30] he figures go there, wait till the goddamn anima flare to die off, then come back [01:30] it's only .. four more days, right? [01:31] * Storylteller thinks Arianna will tell you that the thing that keeps the demon asleep is human tears [01:31] and that the demon sleeps in a giant well filled with gazillions of gallons of tears [01:32] * Cicada hopes that it will only be a few days as well. But it might be years... [01:33] loose a few here, gain a hundred there [01:33] Anything Arianna can tell about the terrain she and her fellows fly over would be good too. [01:34] * Cicada is going to need lots of regularily updated recon soon. [01:36] hmmmm [01:36] not sure what to tell you, really [01:36] lots of barren wasteland? [01:37] patrols of evil twisted human scum? [01:37] Troop movements, fortifications, bases, that kind of stuff. [01:37] besides the cities on the mountain there aren't any real bases [01:37] * Storylteller imagines there are herds of sub-human wastrel roaming around [01:37] And keeping that updated as they are going in will be of critical importance. [01:38] it's really quite static [01:38] they've beenfighing this war for hundreds of years [01:38] nothing to tell, really [01:38] Yea, but that might change when a sudden incursion is made. ;) [01:38] oh, naturally :) [01:39] Get my point? [01:39] * Cicada wants to control the mighty spy sattellites. :) [01:39] (or at least have their coorporation. [01:39] hmm [01:40] * Storylteller suspects the mighty spy satellite is going to be hard pressed to talk to you halfway across the island [01:40] Bugger, even the dream communication thing? [01:41] hm [01:41] maybe [01:41] Otherwise Cic is just going to make a very detailed map from their reports and then work from that. [01:43] * Cicada and Sanyet are also going to sit down with Iluelye and tell her the entire story. Even the Sanyet to Sidhereal thing, if Sanyet believes it to be safe. [01:44] Well she'll be shocked of course, but she is a good sister and will most certanily not have a scale of dragon bloods waiting for him when he comes home [01:44] Heh. [01:44] Besides it might just be a false alarm. [01:44] * Storylteller nods sagely [01:44] (yeah, right) [01:46] * Cicada and Sanyet are then going to hurry to the meeting place. There is not too much damn time left. [01:46] Can I get Forked River to bless the child while i am at it, btw? [01:47] yes! actually you are a preistess so you can confer his blessing as well. [01:47] still it is rather vain to bless one's own child [01:47] you have his blessing [01:47] * Cicada is most gratefull. [01:48] Wait a minute! [01:48] Ones's own child?! This is not Forked River's child, right?! Cic has been bathing a great deal in the sneaky old guy. [01:48] lol [01:49] * Storylteller dunnos.... [01:49] (better not be) [01:49] * Cicada counts the weeks. [01:49] won't help you any. [01:49] given spirit twistiness, it could've been the fae [01:49] after all you did black out [01:51] Black out, when?! [01:51] remember you just kinda went "poof" to the other side of the leaves [01:52] I so hope you are just trying to frighten me now. [01:53] oh [01:53] hmmmm.... [01:53] well you were still a "virgin" when you were with sanyet. [01:53] ... :) [01:54] And clearly not past the 4 month milestone, you know, bulging and stuff. And the feeling of ickyness in tight clothing is recent too, yes?! [01:54] well you haven't really experienced that too much thanks to the dragon blooded biology chapter. [01:54] but sure it feels weird and all that's new [01:55] Hell, my period only stopped recently, right?!!! [01:56] yea.... [01:56] or... [01:56] a few months ago.. [01:57] * Storylteller actually rolled for a daughter on the first night [01:57] A FEW! As in TWO, right?!! [01:57] ... [01:57] but which first night?! [01:57] * Cicada would not mind that either. [01:57] ..... [01:57] ARRRGGHH!! [01:57] * Storylteller supposes the great spirit told you it was a daughter [01:57] Stop that! :) [01:57] hmmm [01:58] but you like it.. [01:58] Well.... [01:58] is this one of those times where no means yes? I think so [01:58] Yes.... [01:58] But wouldn't that make Cic some 4 months into her pregnancy? [02:02] probably [02:02] but remember that dragon blooded pregnancies last some 15 months [02:04] Thought it was 12 months. [02:05] 5 seasons, 3 months per season, in one year [02:05] And not really getting 'troublesome' until the twelfth. [02:05] and DB pregnanacies take a whole year [02:05] Ah. [02:05] Of course. :) [02:07] Though, honestly, when Cicada counts the weeks, do she get to their first night together or two months into the winter? [02:07] it would be their first night together [02:07] * Hikari can already see Sanyet do the merry dance of joy at that. [02:07] "Mah boys can swim! [02:07] Indeed. ;) [02:08] "But don't let that make you think that no further reinforcements to their lines are needed." ;) [02:08] :) Session Close: Sat Jan 04 02:16:02 2003
