OOC Chatter 2

Agreed :smiley:

If I may, I "created" herman and the gate of the dead, which was an item for Hiems. The item was scrapped from his list, but stayed with herman, who made a comeback as the author of one of Hiems Books.
(It's just that it was an slight hommage to a friend of mine, so it's important to me)

One of? Check the lists, my friend. Herman wrote three sound summae, and that's all the info I've revealed so far.

And by all means, take your bow. He proved quite an inspiration for me.

:smiley:

Yes, I remember you were quite striken with him, which was surprising to me since I had so little (the gate, a name, a look), but, well, if it gives you ideas, all the better! :smiley:

Apparently, nobody at work thought as much of my awesome new idea for an alt-setting as I did:

My Little Pony: Friendship is Ars Magica

All of Mythic Europe is ponies. Those with the Gift have Cutiemarks. And the gestures for spell-casting would be, like, a flick of the main, shaking the head, stomping a hoof, flick of the tail, etcetera.

I think it could work :smiley:

Well, it couldn't be in Mythic Europe, it would have to be Mythic Ponlyand.

This sounds almost as bad as the smurfs movie T-T

BtW, is there no one to welcome Ra'am to Phoenix? Raoudha will be present, and Hiems will probably make the effort to welcome and see his potential future sodales, but Cygna? Amos? Jaime?

Yeah! He's gonna feel like he's unwelcome or something.

Friday afternoon, Cygna's probably in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on her grape tarts...and, after yesterday, the Jewish maids are probably loath to disturb her work.

Although Claudia should probably be summoned, now that I think about it.

What is the date? I was under the impression that it is March 14th, a Thursday.
Or perhaps I misread that it is 3/14.

If Ra'am came about the same time as Abdul the Merchant (which is what I thought), then that would be Friday afternoon, 15 March, according to what I have on the game log.

Sabbath will be an issue sooner than I thought, then!

Couldn't the council meeting be a longish discussion and merit a new separate thread?
Also, sundown is the key for sabbath. Of course, there may be life and death issues at steak...

I'm sure it will be when it gets ready to start (just like the first one was)...it's just that I'm already juggling like four simultaneous non-linear storylines and am not ready to start the follow-up meeting when there's still a couple of things unresolved that would make a difference. Such as whether Cygna decides to take Cersei's old sanctum, what they find when they go to talk to the refugees (if they get around to it), and if the news Abdul has for Raoudha makes it to the magi's ears.

Claudia might be a good choice as you suggested, if she's not doing anything, and would know 1) about the council meeting and 2) know why the other magi and maga are indisposed. I came into the merchant thread because it was amul's suggestion. Any answers to Ra'am's questions can't get resolved until the council thread, anyway. Could give Claudia something to do, too.

Guess it'll be up to Hiems, then... :-/

Btw, after some talk with Jonathan, I'm happy to present you Ra'am of Bonisagus! :smiley:

Wetpaint doesn't work very well at the moment, but I'll add them whenever I can.

Now, does someone have another character for me?

Let's do it here, and any other loose ends there can be wrapped up in 2.1 Prelude thread for Ra'am. I came in to the merchant thread at amul's suggestion and it was a good way to bring some continuity to story threads...

Agreed. Ready (mostly) when you are, then.

So, warned through Raoudha's offices, Hiems will make an appearance (he's trying real hard), who else?

I would assume that, as had been done when the other magi appeared, that the staff would have gone to Claudia to either deal with them herself or gotten Jaime, since he's probably where they're not allowed to go without an armed escort.

p.s. sorry about the uncharacteristic silence lately...it's been a busy week, what with my dad deciding whether or not he wants to know if he has prostate cancer (he's decided he doesn't) and trying to get things arranged so that my fiancée can come over, on top of still trying to get settled into the new house. Hopefully things will settle down some this week.

Here's to hoping your dad has the slow growing variety of prostate cancer.

Thank you. Unfortunately, he's got so much other stuff (heart and lungs and circulation all pretty much shot) going wrong that, as his gp put it, "If you have prostate cancer, so what? One of the other things will probably get you long before the cancer does." (rough paraphrase)

Posted on the Ra'am thread...I'll try to post more this evening when I get back from Dad's urologist visit.
