Leeda: It is lovely

Locus Ceruleus: ah yes!

Merlynna: Oh, that I'll have to see.

Joylah: It's well worth the trip, it's quite beautiful, though as yet, there is a slight difficulty using the

Buzz Aldridge: Lord SeVaN

Liet: *shrugs*

Locus Ceruleus: Yes you can

SeVaN: My brief appearence tonight

Buzz Aldridge: Yes, Liet

SeVaN: is not to represent magencia
SeVaN: but to ask for your continued thoughts and prayers for my son

Locus Ceruleus: *nods*

Joylah: Is Noah any better today?

SeVaN: who is very ill, possibly due to the evil daemon forces that invaded our home land

Locus Ceruleus: tiny lil tyke

SeVaN: Not much today
SeVaN: but he is a fighterand will prevail

Kariny Stormsong: Poor mite

SeVaN: thank you

Galen: Demonic ailments can be nasty aye....*points to the white streak in his hair*

IronHorse: aye

Buzz Aldridge: Lord IronHorse

IronHorse: good evening councilors

Dragon Edge: Evening

Joylah: Hullo, Ironhorse

Galen: *nods*

Dragon Edge : joined the party.

IronHorse: and citizens

SeVaN: Hail, IH

Jerard Slasher: Evenin

Liet: I like that color pf purple.

Isak Tangretti: *salutes*

SeVaN: *whispers* its royal purple
SeVaN: only the best

Liet: *oohs scarcastically*

IronHorse: as much as I hate to bring bad news I feel i must share certain events

SeVaN: *raises eyebrow*

IronHorse: last thursday evening about 8 pm or so
IronHorse: while on routine patrol one of my City Guards was murdered

Liet: *chuckles, shaking his ehad*

IronHorse: some evidence was collected

SeVaN: It wasnt me

IronHorse: I have spoken with the Captain of my Guard
IronHorse: Magnus
IronHorse: and once the HC appoints a new GM
IronHorse: he would be glad to share what evidence was collected
IronHorse: and would welcome any assistance the HG can provide in solving this crime

Joylah: Are you asking us to investigate an internal police matter of Trinsic?

IronHorse: no not at all
IronHorse: I am stating that trinsic would be receptive to the HG involvement

Liet: *chuckles*

SeVaN: *moohaha*

IronHorse: I believe it is one of the HG duties is it not?

Liet: *Whispers right: That was a yes.*

Buzz Aldridge: Yes, it is
Buzz Aldridge: I believe that should be one of the first tasks once the new GM is elected

IronHorse: but of course the crime may be solved before the new HG is even in place
IronHorse: however
IronHorse: as i stated

Liet: *quirks a brow*

IronHorse: trinsic would welcome its involvement

Dragon Edge: how noble of you

IronHorse: *flips to next page

SeVaN: The criminal when caught should have to cleanup magencia by himself

Liet: *whispers right: That sounds screwy too.*

Locus Ceruleus: I nominate the Justice Seat!
Locus Ceruleus: Second?

IronHorse: I ask the HC how long shall we gaze upon this empty chair?
[Standing in front of the Skara Brae/Spirituality Seat.]

Galen: *looks back*

Locus Ceruleus: sorry

SeVaN: Justice league? what?

IronHorse: the 8th seat seems to have grown abit of moss

Liet: *shrugs*

Thrand Graywolf: That's the seventh seat

Liet: *laughs!*

Merlynna: Hehe

IronHorse: excuse my tile

IronHorse: I do not expect an answer now

SeVaN: IH maybe you want to keep the seat warm? hhmm?

Liet: *blinks*

Buzz Aldridge: First things first, Lord IronHorse

Joylah: We can't seem to find someone willing to sit next to Thrand..

IronHorse: I just bring it to the attention of all

SeVaN: lol

Merlynna: I think we plan to do the Grand Marshall first.

Joylah: Perhaps when Deleaduindill returns..
Joylah: so will Wysteria.

Liet: Well, the seat -is- empty.

IronHorse: how long the 8th seat has been without representation

Liet: *smirks*

Galen: *tapping fingers looking thoughtful*

Jerard Slasher: *looks around*

IronHorse: *flips to next page*

Isak Tangretti: *eye's 8th seat*

SeVaN: Im just gonna bring a lawn chair next time

Liet: *oohs with a grin*

IronHorse: a rather disturbing development
IronHorse: I have been given a book
IronHorse: one that seems to be circulating at least in trinsic
IronHorse: I feel I should bring it to this HCs attention

SeVaN: *hides his copy*

Liet: *snnorts*

Isak Tangretti: *puts evil pen away*

IronHorse: the author is what disturbs me most

[Lays a book down on the table.]

Joylah: I can't reach that.

Liet: I can't reach that.

SeVaN: Who is the author?

Dragon Edge: Ah. My Hero Wrote it

Buzz Aldridge: He sure is needy for attention...

Dragon Edge: ......

Galen: Oh this piece of s__t.

[Reference to the Shadow, who had authored the book. It is a work of anti-High Council and anti-Crown propaganda, initially distrubuted by him or his followers during the invasion of Magincia, and has now been making the rounds amongst the refugees in Trinsic.]

SeVaN: me neither

Galen: I've seen this.

IronHorse: perhaps you all can pass that copy among yourselfs for examanation

Dragon Edge: was that outloud?

Thrand Graywolf: The author was Bert

[A nickname for the Shadow, invented and spread by Joylah.]

SeVaN: Did bert kill ernie the guard?

Liet: *shrugs*

Galen: *sighs and takes book, handing to Joy*

Joylah: *giggles softly, leaning over Galen to take a look*

Galen: *winks*

Merlynna: Darn I wasn't finished reading.

Galen: Sorry Merly.

Merlynna: No pass it along..

Liet: *squints*

IronHorse: on a more positive note

Joylah: Oh, it's fine, Merly...

Galen: Basically says we're responsbile for Magincia, and everything is our fault, as I recall.

Galen: Nothing he ain't said before.

Merlynna: I am sure Shadow has more excrement to pass along.

Joylah: Too bad he didn't include pictures.

IronHorse: i am happy to announce the completion of the construction of the New

Thrand Graywolf: Some of the refugees, however, like that book.

IronHorse: Governors Mansion

Liet: *tips his head, listening*

Joylah: "our city"?
[Quoting from the book.]

SeVaN: Built from the best pieces or rubble stolen er transported from
SeVaN: Magencia and built by our hands

[Presumably a reference to IronHorse's Governor's mansion.]

Joylah: *flipping pages, a wry twist to her lips*

IronHorse: The Construction finished ahead of shecdule

Leeda: Hmm

SeVaN: while our town still sits in ruins

IronHorse: which pleases me greatly

Merlynna: Done, thank ye.

SeVaN: so send your construction teams here

Liet: *looks right, nodding*

IronHorse: and I will point out

SeVaN: no doubt

IronHorse: accident free

Dragon Edge: Were still working out contractor issues

SeVaN: permitting is a pain I know

IronHorse: Lord SeVaN as Leeda pointed out in her report
IronHorse: Trinsic has installed a new teleportation pad

SeVaN: Aye which is I admit safer than that rickety old boat method
SeVaN: *thanks*

IronHorse: this was done at no small expense to trinsic

Liet: *Mumbles: but -after- the manse...*

Locus Ceruleus: literally

Buzz Aldridge: I can imagine

IronHorse: but will aid greatly in the transporting of bulk building materials

SeVaN: I expected it to transport me to the mansion at first

Liet: *smirks*

SeVaN: thanks to Trisnic for their *cough* support *cough* so far

IronHorse: Well there has been an increase in pirate activity in the waters around Magincia

SeVaN: TY IH
SeVaN: *nods* very true

IronHorse: and the Trinsic fleet just cannot cover all the waterways at this time

Joylah: *chuckles softly, making a note to talk with Shaelin*

IronHorse: we do the best we can

SeVaN: I shared some rum with Cap'n Jack last night on the beach

Liet: *looks thoughtful*

IronHorse: many of the Magincian refugees have been learning new and useful skills
IronHorse: so they will be valuble once the rebuilding comences

SeVaN: I agree but do we not want the end result for them to return home?

Merlynna: Oh I surely hope so.

SeVaN: We appreciate your hospitality but while Trisnic prospers we lay in ruins for months

Liet: *nods*

SeVaN: not even the bankers have returned

IronHorse: Trinsic shall be offering permanant citizenship to those who apply
IronHorse: and are deemed useful

Liet: *arches a brow*

Galen: *chuckles softly*

Thrand Graywolf: *raises an eyebrow*

Locus Ceruleus: *chuckles*

Joylah: *lifts a slender brow mildly*

SeVaN: I must peruse that applicantion process then - when Noah is well

IronHorse: I will see to it that a copy is delieved to you as soon as I have an address
IronHorse: I invite you all to visit the New Mansion

SeVaN: third pile of rubble on the right, Magencia beach

IronHorse: we are quite proud of it

Thrand Graywolf: *shakes head slightly*

Merlynna: Does anyone know when the rebuilding here will start?

Locus Ceruleus: can't wait

IronHorse: but I do need to find a good stone furniture crafter

Buzz Aldridge: I believe that is still being considered

Joylah: *giggles, scribbling something on a scrap of paper and passing it to Galen*

SeVaN: When is the house er mansion warming party?

IronHorse: I lack a desk in my office

Dragon Edge: Still working out some labor disputes

IronHorse: and just can't seem to find one that suits me

SeVaN: I'm sure the magencians will be "happy" to make one for you
SeVaN: If you *ask* nicely of course, its the least htey can do

Galen: *a deep blush at Joy's note, hurriedly pocketing it*

IronHorse: one more item

Joylah: *dimples mischieviously*

IronHorse: The Refugees have donated a large cornerstone from the ruins of magincia
IronHorse: as a permanant display within the Mansion

Merlynna: Hmm...

IronHorse: so that we never forget what has taken place

Liet: *Whispers right: The refugees are a political body?*

SeVaN: Should not the cornerstone be the centerpiece of a rebuilt Mag?
SeVaN: when we get to that point? or are you just keeping it Safe

IronHorse: perhaps we can discuss such a thing

SeVaN: *nods*
SeVaN: perhaps

IronHorse: once there is an active government within Magincia
IronHorse: I am willing to discuss it

SeVaN: very well [bows]

Buzz Aldridge: Thank you for the update Iron

IronHorse: it is in safe keeping I assure you

Buzz Aldridge:

IronHorse: thank you Buzz

SeVaN: Hail Buzz

Buzz Aldridge: Yes, SeVaN?

SeVaN: nothing sorry

Buzz Aldridge: Not a problem
Buzz Aldridge: Would anyone else care to speak?

Liet: Sort of?
Liet: *shrugs?*

Thrand Graywolf: Charades?

Buzz Aldridge: *Chuckles*

Liet: Huh?

Buzz Aldridge: The floor is yours Liet

Liet: Oh.
Liet: *grins a little.*

Locus Ceruleus: *perks up*

Liet: Hi. I really, really don't like talking...in front of...

Liet: so many p-people.
Liet: *grins*

Buzz Aldridge: If it's any consolation...

Liet: Bit I work in the mines because I don't like to talk to people anyway, and...
Buzz Aldridge: there's an active debate about Galen

[Not sure what that was about.]

Liet: um,
Liet: I mean - I know a few masons, and...
Liet: well, why build a manse when...w-wh...
Liet: *smiles a bit*
Liet: When a whole city needs rebuilt?

Galen: Ask Iron.

Liet: I mean, they asked m-me, maybe...help but I have sooo much work to do and I just can't

Galen: It wasn't Council money, and so far as I know it wasn't Crown money.

IronHorse: my City does not need rebuilt

Liet: but you know mining is hard work for people to just try and...
Liet: *falls silent*
Liet: *blinks*
Liet: Isn't it screwy?

SeVaN: Sounds like he has a pickaxe to grind

Thrand Graywolf: If you want opinions...yes. Among my people that would
Trhand Graywolf: be very...screwy.

Galen: Wait wait.....What did they ask you to help with that you couldn't?

Liet: I'm a mmm...
Liet: *looks around*
Liet: Miner.

Galen: Right...

SeVaN: Right

Liet: And blacksmith. Chhers, heh.
Liet: *grins*
Liet: Is anyone helping?

SeVaN: Has the blackrock gone to your brain?

Galen: With Magincia?

Liet: No!: scowls back

SeVaN: sorry

Liet: Y....
Liet: Mmhmm.

SeVaN: Wow thanks for the help. I didnt know anyone had started yet
SeVaN: where are the materials you have mined so far?
SeVaN: *looks around*

Liet: C...can't work on ch...harit....
Liet: For free?

SeVaN: oooh

Galen: Why is no one rebuilding Magincia? The Crown basically has the resources

Locus Ceruleus: *checks pockets*

Galen: to take on such a huge task....And they haven't said a word as of yet.

Locus Ceruleus: *shakes head*

SeVaN: Who has asked you to work for free?

Galen: Whether they have some reason for this, I don't know...

Liet: *looks back*

SeVaN: Tis the first i have heard o of this

Liet: N...noone...b-but...
Liet: Noone said anything...b-bout working for p-pay.
Liet: *blinks*

SeVaN: What a coincidence that the mansion is finished ahead of schedule...

Thrand Graywolf: He's asking when someone is going to organize, and pay
Thrand Graywolf: for, work groups to begin clearing the city.

Liet: Yes! What he said.
Liet: *heh*

Merlynna: *smiles*

Thrand Graywolf: *shrugs*

SeVaN: I have not the resources or I would have done so myself long ago

Galen: Best answer I can give you is my one from a few minutes ago.

IronHorse: good planning and organization

Galen: It's a huge project, the Crown has the resources, and they haven't said anything.

Liet: B-but...
Liet: B-...this is...
Liet: *looks confused*

SeVaN: But yet they had time to decorate for valentines day *huh*

Merlynna: This council doesn't have the coffers to organize this endevour.

Liet: Oh.
Liet: Well cra...

Merlynna: Yeah, their priorities are squed.

Liet: Oops! Sorry - heh.

SeVaN: Liet - how long have you *already* been working in the mines?

Liet: *grins*

Merlynna: skewed

Thrand Graywolf: I don't understand why it would take so much gold, really

Liet: Um...

SeVaN: and how many miners?

Merlynna: If the resouces are available

Liet: *looks back*
Liet: A long time? I'm a m-miner.

Thrand Graywolf: There's a large work force that you would think would be willing to do it

Buzz Aldridge: This is obviously a huge task

Liet: But I -don't- want to mine around anyone.
Liet: *glances back*

Thrand Graywolf: Huge tasks don't shrink until you start on them.

Buzz Aldridge: Exactly

IronHorse: certainly was a large work force to haul off the pieces

Merlynna: And as ye know the Gods never do anything fast and easy.

Buzz Aldridge: It will take many more Liet

Liet: Hah! No kidding!
Liet: *stopps*

SeVaN: Very True...

Buzz Aldridge: Thank you for your efforts

Liet: *shrugs and mumbles*

Buzz Aldridge: I wish there was an easy answer to this
Buzz Aldridge: *shakes head*
Buzz Aldridge: Would anyone else care to speak?
Buzz Aldridge: Very well...

IronHorse: oh
IronHorse: one more thing

Buzz Aldridge: I hereby bring this, the 224th Assembly of the 7th High Council to a close.

Jerard Slasher: *salutes*

Buzz Aldridge: Iron?

Merlynna: Long Live Britannia!

Liet: *smirks, looking down the archways*

Athenat: Long Live Britannia!

IronHorse: Bert wished me to thank Lord Galen and the city of Jhelom
IronHorse: for their contribution of nice warm wool blankets

Liet: *Whispers right: Who cares?*

Buzz Aldridge: Then on that note...
Buzz Aldridge: I hereby bring this, the 224th Assembly of the 7th High Council to a close.
Buzz Aldridge: Long Live Britannia!
