March Governor's Service Medals

FioHelston "Our first item of old business is the March Governor's Service Medal recipients. I think we hit a record this month, or close to one. There are sixteen individuals who recxeived recognition for service to the community. Many of them are here tonight."

Rachael Douglas Dip of raven haired head to Steve and others whom she recognized in the crowd. Notes continued to be taken.

Lem DeAngelo ::nods to Noah as he takes a seat near him::

FioHelston "You will see the complete listing on the reverse of your agenda tonight. It has also been posted in the public notices. ( http://www.rdi.dragonsmark.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25338 )

Rage and Shadow A little whisper to Shy.

Zack Alcar Flipping the agenda over and chuckled softly for a moment.

NorseLady Loops her arm around Victor's as they listen to Fio.

Issy ::Taking the adgenda before her, she turned it over and read the names::

Icer1978 ::Listening intently.::

Issy ::One name in particular caught her attention. As her eyes lingered over his name, a soft smile touched her lips::

Rachael Douglas Lips briefly flatlined while she continued to take notes lefthanded.

Desmond Granger He flipped over his agenda and read the names, recognizing not a one, but confident Caroline would recognize all or most of them.

FioHelston "Please join me in applauding the efforts of all of these members of our community. Congratulations to all who have been recognized." She paused for a moment to acknowledge them all, clapping.

PrlUnicorn ::She came in a few steps ahead of Rhi and took a seat::

Noah Bird A smile seeing his brother's names and some of the others.

LadyAjaBird ::applauds the service winners::

NorseLady After scanning the names of those receiving medals, looks at Victor. Smirks at the question, then replies via whisper.

Rhiannon Brock ::She grabbed a copy of the agenda and settled in::

LadyAjaBird Drinks are on Zack tonight. ::grins::

Andu Kirost ::Softly applauds with the others.::

Desmond Granger He offered polite applause of his own.

Rage and Shadow He claps politely for the names.

Audrey Horne ::She claps like a lunatic, sending the register tape a'sprawlin', and even throws in a whistle for good measure.::

Noah Bird He claps also.

Takki ::Takki glanced around, then clapped a bit. ::

Katt A little wave to Rhi and a clap of her hands to those on the list.

Candy Hart Slipped in at the back with Lucy. She pointed the woman toward the back wall. "Dillon and you c'n lurk back here." There's a wink and she splits off, heading to the front and taking a seat at the end of the front table. Her beer and displeased expression with her.

Spell Crawls out from under the main table and sits down by Fio!

Steve Armstrong The machinist's hands came out from his pockets and he applauded heartily!

Icer1978 ::Peeking at the names and blinking. Though she smiled at a few.::

Spell Fixes her Vice Governor badge.

Candy Hart Joins in on the clapping, not sure what it's for.

Ebon Ilnaren ::he lifted his hands in applause for those recognized, nodding to Zack, Icer and Andu as he did so::

FallenHunter *she smiled and clapped*

Issy ::Rather than clap, she was locked away in a private prayer. A sniff and her hand wiped across her lips as she dispelled her reverie. Catching Katt's eye then, she winked at her::

Alain DeMuer Alain applauded too as eyes skimmed the back of the agenda — lots of names!

arthour :Slipping into the hall, he looked about a bit, remaining to the side and out of the way:

Icer1978 ::And Ebon received a smile.::

NorseLady She, too, applauds for the recipients.

Zack Alcar A rub to the back of his neck at the clapping and waved to everyone.

Lucy Mitford ::Lucy nods to Candy, raising a brow as she watches Candy making her way to the front table. She glances at Dillon with a question in her eyes, then weaves her way towards the back wall, trying to find a place for she and Dillon to stand::

Construction Update: Observatory and Botanical Gardens

FioHelston "The next item of old business tonight is a very brief update on the construction of the RhyDin City observatory and botanical gardens."

Steve Armstrong "Jesse," Steve murmured the girl's name loud enough for her to hear, before gesturing her over.

Rage and Shadow "Hmm." Jesse's help makes him worry for the proposal.

PrlUnicorn ::Collie jotted a note or two on her agenda. She had a few packages to deliver.::

NorseLady He misunderstood her question, but will explain it to him later. Slide of gaze to Jesse.

Audrey Horne ::And the toffee kicks in. She scribbled something down in her notebook, a combination of scribbles and notes, and then she's narrowing her eyes at it.:;

Lucy Mitford ::Lucy nods, tugging at her outfit, keeping her voice low for Dillon:: I'm not exactly dressed for a city council meeting. ::Rather, Lucy looks ready to go clubbing. To combat the boredom, she slips her cell phone from her purse and starts tapping out a text::

Desmond Granger He glanced over his shoulder at the liontaur before returning his gaze to the governor.

Zack Alcar Light nod over to those showing up.

Noah Bird rolls his eyes at Jesse.

Audrey Horne ::A wave of a pencil to Candy and Dill.::

Katt As long as he was sitting opposite side of Issy she was fine. Leaning over she pinched his side playfully. "(vsw) Just doing my job as your personal assistant."

arthour :Same old request. Arthour remained where he was, arms crossed and leaning againast the wall, looking about the faces he knew:

Issy ::A brow arch at Batten's doppleganger, Al Capone::

Rachael Douglas Notes continued to be taken in that precise left handed script.

Spell "Rakesshy. You have mine aid...now give me a dream demon to test upon."

Candy Hart Tip of two fingers to Audrey in greeting.

FioHelston "This project was put up for bid last summer and the winning firm announced in late fall. As we know, winter has been particularly fierce this year. The ground is now starting to thaw and I will be looking for an update from the contractor next month."

Takki ::a glance was given Aja, then a few others that were near by Aja that she did not know. These proceedings were odd, to witness them, even stranger for herself.::

Ebon Ilnaren ::he leaned forward on the other side of Katt to give Ed a grin:: (s) You made it!

FioHelston "This project has not been forgotten, however."

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre Saffron turrrrrned her head toward Candy and Dill, ears going Yoda as she offered a slow smile and an equally languid nod.

Rakeesh ::The liontaur looks over towards Jesse and grins, subtly. Slowly, he raises a finger to his lips and gently gestures with a dip of his head towards Fio as she addresses the crowd.::

Ebon Ilnaren ::then he looked the other way, seeing Rakeesh, and made a note to speak with him later before turning his attention back to Fionna::

FioHelston "So look for that and if you have any specific questions for the firm, please send them to me before next month's meeting so those can be relayed for answer."

Alain DeMuer Alain raised a hand.

NorseLady She is excited for the construction of the observatory and botanical gardens to begin. Plans on visiting both once they are completed.

Desmond Granger He took up his cup of take-out coffee for a sip, while he listened, his gaze wandering to the various faces on the board.

Edward Batten He grinned and winked at Issy as he took the fedora off and tossed it carelessly on the table.

FioHelston "Councilor DeMuer?"

Candy Hart A nod to Saffron. Candy's eyes drift over to Lucy and Dillon across the room. She takes another pull from her beer and looks down the row of advisors.

Alain DeMuer Halfway down, with a Gallic shrug. It could wait, if she desired. But he proceeded when called upon.

Rage and Shadow "Excellent." Nice to hear that is moving forward.

Dill T Jones A finger gun shot over to Audrey and Saff. One after the other, but he was quiet as there was....talking and what not going on. He played the background, tipping a pinch of something into his lip and poked with his tongue into submission. A non-commital sound before he looked over to Lucy once again. "I think you are fine. You're supposed to be a fashionista anyhow....That's the buzzword right, fashionista?" Quiet, quite in the background now.

Steve Armstrong Candy was given a quick smile and a wink in greeting, before he mouthed the word: Smile.

Desmond Granger He was sitting in for Caroline tonight, more observor than anything else.

Spell "It's mine by right. I have offered aid." She grunted, then crossed her arms. Hmph!

Spell "Mine Fio will agree with me once she is done speaking to the masses." Slow nod.

Marc Franco ::In he slipped, pocketing his handheld blogging device/lifeline. Quietly, he found his way to a seat.::

Eregor ::he entered the Great Hall, giving little waves to all familiar faces and a wink to Rhi before finding a seat near Lem and Noah::

Noah Bird He smiles to Gory.

Zack Alcar Now crossing his arms by Aja.

Alain DeMuer "Thank you. I do not know if this is already accounted for, but is there room in the project for memorial benches or plaques" They could be bought to honor the dead, with proceeds going to a charity you or the Council could appoint."

Rhiannon Brock ::She jotted a quick note and glanced to Jesse as she heard her then winked back to Eregor when she spotted him::

Candy Hart A look toward Matt to catch his eye and a shake of her head to relay the results of the night.

LadyAjaBird ::glances up at Zack:: Yer so buyin drinks tonight. ::quietly::

NorseLady Return waves to the others, along with a smile.

Zack Alcar A light smirk to Aja. " Alright. " Softly.

LadyAjaBird ::smirks as she gives him a soft nudge and watches the ongoings::

Goldglo ::he pursed his lips in answer to Candy's communique and crossed his arms::

Lucy Mitford ::She tucks her phone away, quirking a smile as she glances up at Dillon:: Supposed to be nothing. I am a fashionista. ::Then she too quiets down::

FioHelston "I suspect the architects would be very open to that idea. If you could outline what you have in mind and send it to me, I will forward that on for consideration. Thoughts about this from others of the council?"

FallenHunter *she listens quietly to the meeting *

Issy ::Looking from Alain, she nodded to Fio. She would second the idea with a thumbs up::

Rakeesh ::The beast folds his right hand over his left wrist and allows his arms to rest against his torso. He shifts a little in his leonine resting position, his tongue running across his lips as he watches each of the speakers in turn. There is intent in his expression and old brown eyes, a show that the wheels are turning.::

Alain DeMuer Alain dipped his head and scrawled out a quick note, then glanced around the rest of the table.

Ebon Ilnaren I think it's an excellent suggestion.

Zack Alcar Light hip nudge in return.

Audrey Horne ::She sniffles once and finally pockets the register tape after five minutes of just staring at it.::

Spell Glaring daggers at Candy while Fio spoke.

Icer1978 A very good suggestion.

PrlUnicorn I think it's a good idea. Also, a memorial pathway, perhaps" Brickwork done that way seems popular.

Candy Hart No thoughts. Candy went back to drinking.

PrlUnicorn ::She shuffled through some papers::

Desmond Granger He wasn't sure if he should speak or not, and it didn't really seem necessary or prudent. He wondered if he should have worn a nametag.

Rakeesh ::The liontaur raises his hand, then, gaze cast upon Alain.::

Alain DeMuer Alain smiled at the others, and nodded at Collie's idea, making a note. "I'll mention it in my proposal."

Ebon Ilnaren ::pointing to Colleen:: Brilliant!

Edward Batten He simply nodded to Alain and Collie's suggestion. "Soun's like a good iea t'me." Edward Batten ^idea

Spell "Eye'm against this idea as everyone seems to be for it. There must be a balance."

FioHelston "Rakeesh?"

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre Saffron grabbed the side of the chair for dear life as Audrey pulled the register tape from the tangle around her tail, going wide-eyed before slowly, slowly settling back down with a niiice....ooh that's a nice deep breath.

NorseLady Takes the opportunity to remove one supple leather glove; the kidskin is tucked behind her weapons belt, as usual. Slips her hand into Victor's in hopes he will not mind holding hands for a little while.

Audrey Horne ::Or she tries to pocket it. All of that paper is snagged on something, so she jerks at it, pauses and stares out across the room.::

Rakeesh ::He rumbles forth in his deep bass, while tucking his chin towards his chest in respect directed towards Fio.:: The Councilor's motion is a good idea.Should the proposal go forward, I would suggest the Rhy'Din Shield charity, as it has been doing great work in the Old Temple District as of late.

Alain DeMuer There was a very noticeable pause from the Baron when Rakeesh raised his hand, though it was far from clear what was going through the man's head at that moment. He leaned back slightly in his chair, the subtle posture of a statesman hearing an argument.

Rhiannon Brock ::Her lips twitched a touch as she made more notes::

Goldglo ::cold began to ebb out from his person when the linotaur's voice met the Council's collective ears::

Spell "That's Myria's cherity!"

LadyAjaBird ::just nods listening to Rak speak::

NorseLady Another glance at Jesse, then back to Rakeesh.

Alain DeMuer "Myria Graziano?" confirming Jesse's remark, curiously.

FioHelston "I will add that to the list for consideration. If there are any other suggestions for the fund to benefit from the idea, please submit them to me in writing so that we can be sure to collect them all."

Spell "Yes. She is the greatest and donates to them much."

Noah Bird Feeling the cold, blue eyes moes to Matt.

Spell "Her and...the ugly Candy Harts team."

Candy Hart Candy holds her tongue, not mentioning that Beat Down and the Crew work with that charity.

Rachael Douglas Lips flatlined briefly while she took notes in that even, precise left handed script.

Alain DeMuer "Thank you, Councilor," he said, then, to Rakeesh, with a small dip of his head.

Katt Her eyes closed and she sighed under breath. At least she didn't have to take notes for her brother this time around.

Candy Hart The charity is what matters, not the teams. She takes another drink.

Spell "They gave money to Old Temple while others supported baby killing and such by not buying t-shirts." Nodding to Alain. "Shh! We need to be quiet. Fio is talking."

Rage and Shadow Like he has ever minded holding hands with Shy. His slips a glove off himself, taking hold of her hand with a happy smile.

Rhiannon Brock ::A nod was given to Alain:: Yes, Myria Graziano.

Aurthur Shimmerscale *Wanders into the hall, working his way carefully through the crowd towards his mate. Too bad he hadn't waited to be full grown, this would have been much easier.*

Noah Bird Watching the overlord speak now.

FioHelston "Any other discussion on this topic?"

Rakeesh ::The beast bobs his head gently in turn to Alain, and then is silent. His gaze drifts, from the Councilor, aside to Matt, and then back over towards Fio as she begins to speak once again.::

Steve Armstrong Grunting when he pushed off from the wall, Steve closed the distance to Jesse and caught her by the back of her shirt lightly. Slowly but surely, he was hauling her back to his spot along the wall, murmuring quietly.

NorseLady Snickers as she watches Steve.

Spell "Hey...!" Picked up like a kitty cat. Watch her flail.

Spell She'd then sort of dead weight and let Steve take her.

Icer1978 ::A twitch of an ear, and a nod to her mate, then a few notes were jotted down.::

Issy ::Her hands rested on the table, on either side of her agenda, as she glanced down for a moment. She shifted in her chair before looking up once again::

Ebon Ilnaren ::shaking his head, looking thoughtful::

Harbor Clean-up Project

FioHelston "The next item on tonight's agenda is the Harbor Clean-up Project. Aja Bird will be speaking to this item. Aja?"

Audrey Horne ::Clap clappity clap clap clap. Clap clap.::

Takki ::Giggles::

Race Severely late is his entrance, stopping near the back to observe.

Rage and Shadow A little cough. That hurt, a bit.

Desmond Granger Oh, yes, as if the girl isn't hyper enough. Let's give her more sugar!

Rakeesh ::He claps politely in turn for Marc, only until Fio begins to move onto the next piece of business.::

Marc Franco ::A polite nod was given at the statement and a flash of a smile shot Issy's way.::

LadyAjaBird ::stands up and comes to an open spot where she can see the people.::

Rachael Douglas Addendum was made to her notes in the margin, M' t' an duine d'sachtach tofa, beidh m' ag bogadh go Arcadia buan, mar n" bheidh m' ag freastal ar thearmann d'sachtach.

Lucy Mitford ::Lucy shifts her weight, watching and vaguely listening. Her eyes cast about the room, half-wondering if she's allowed to smoke in here::

LadyAjaBird Thank you, Fio. ::looks to the crowd:: Hi, I'm Aja Bird. Some of ya know me, some don't. I own a shipyard in Arcadia where we build ships, import and exports goods. I also own a construction company. Anyway, as you know, RhyDin City was hit with Storm Hannibal not too long ago. Which dumped an extreme amount of snow upon the city.

Zack Alcar " Go get them. " Murmured as he watched Aja.

LadyAjaBird As that snow begins to melt, it carries a tremendous amount of trash into the harbor which is starting to block incoming ships and backing up the flow of goods being delivered to the city. Not to mention, the ships that have sank over the years and during the recent storm, causing damage to incoming vessels, further compounding the problem.

Spell "Lemmy shall be mine running mate...or Xanthy, I do not know...We will stand on the platform of arming RhyDin with a mana bomb so we have a proper d...de.." All this low...but now she was starting to look upset since she couldn't think up the word. "...Isabella." Psst, over to the empty air next to he. Then a look to Steve. "Deterrent."

Rhiannon Brock ::She shook her head in response to her mother before giving Aja her attention::

LadyAjaBird We are not requesting any city funds for this project. I offer my shipyards and crew to the clean up the harbor. We will also be donating the crane, and repairing any docks that have been damaged or are just worn from time. Which will remain after the project is done to assist in unloading and loading of vessels for many years to come.

Noah Bird a smile when his mother was speaking.

Issy ::Chuckling, she smirked and winked to Marco. He could always bring a ray of sunshine, no"::

NorseLady This should be interesting. When Aja says, 'hi' ....waves to her.

LadyAjaBird Any salvage yards interested in the scrap is welcome to come by and collect it. Anyone with experience in deep sea welding, would also be very useful to this project. Also, Watch teams that could spare the time to ID any remains found in the water and provide security for the work site would be a help.

Desmond Granger He turned his attention back to the speaker, this time Aja.

Rachael Douglas Notes were taken and attention focused on Aja while she spoke.

Edward Batten He upnodded to Aja. "If ya'd like, Ah c'n spare some o'my secur'ty people t'help wit' dat. Free o'charge, o'course."

LadyAjaBird I've spoken to a few already and they've been very gracious about providing their assistance. Thank you for your time. ::pauses and then glances to Jesse:: I do make one request of Ms Helston. If she could assist in keeping Jesse far from the project as she tends to be more of a hinderance than a help. (( Playable found here: http://rdi.dragonsmark.com/forums/viewtopic.php"t=25297 ))

Katt Swats to her brother and murmurs. "(vsw) Raise your hand."

NorseLady Smirks.

Spell "I take offense to that statement...the SS Breadsticks is by far the greatest sea ship of all time."

Candy Hart Took out a pen, taking down notes.

FioHelston "Anyone who is willing and able to help should be allowed to."

Noah Bird A hand raise up.

Spell "...and I most likely sunk a few of those ships.."

Edward Batten He chuckled and had the good grace to look at least a little chagrined. "Yeah, yeah, Ah know."

Spell "In self defense." Psst to Steve.

Rage and Shadow He reaches his free hand up to cover his mouth and the laugh.

Rachael Douglas Dip of raven haired head in mute acknowledgement.

Ebon Ilnaren ::chuckling at the Battens::

LadyAjaBird Yeah...not so much her though. ::shrugs:: Sorry. I wish to offend no one, but she tends to cause more trouble than she solves.

Icer1978 ::And yes, a grin hearing Aja.::

Zack Alcar He was coughing at the end of Aja's speech.

FioHelston "We'll take public questions or comment after we get through all of the new business."

Rakeesh ::The beast waits for a moment where the banter and dialogue dies down to call over to Aja.:: Lady. I would be pleased to volunteer the crew of my ship, the Phaross Max, to aid in the welding and repairs. They are very experienced in these matters.

NorseLady Softly laughs.

Steve Armstrong "Shhh."

Rakeesh ::And then, he is silent once again, gaze shifting between Fio and Aja.::

Spell "I will help just to spite her." Nods to Steve.

Rhiannon Brock ::She glanced to Ed:: You have access to SCUBA gear with lengthy air supplies, Ed" That would help, too.

Spell "It is obvious she is jealous of mine fine ship."

Katt "(vsw) See you so lazy...Tsk. Having me take notes you forgot how to be at one of these." She grinned playfully to him.

Issy ::A smirk sent off to Ed and Katt::

Candy Hart A flick of her eyes at Rakeesh. Then back to her notes.

Noah Bird he lowers his head what flo had said.

FioHelston The look she favored Aja with was unwavering. "Calling out individuals publically in this meeting is inappropriate," she said plainly.

Takki ::Takki glanced over at Jesse then looked away as she rolled her eyes and muttered quietly in Atlantian.::

FioHelston "Anyone who is able to assist with the project should contact Ms. Bird. Councilors, any questions before we continue?"

Rachael Douglas "Three cold cases are already in the process of being solved, due to the initial efforts made by Madame Bird and her crews." Her words were low toned.

LadyAjaBird Thank you all the same, Ms Helston.

Desmond Granger He takes another sip of his coffee. He was picking up a few names to go with the faces.

Koyliak ::slips in::

Steve Armstrong To spare Desmond his special cookies, Steve shoved one of the recently appeared brownies into Jesse's mouth and tossed the bag back to it's owner with a grateful look and a mouthed thanks.

Spell Stares up at Steve. Blink, blink. Then blinks her right eye, opens it, then blinks her left.

Spell She then got a brownie! Score.

Hochi Banto ::Hochi strolls into the Great Hall, his hands and arms covered in grease and oil as he looks around::

Eregor ::he was beginning to wonder if Matt was solely responsible for the slight chill in the air::

PrlUnicorn ::She gave Fio a sidelong glance and shook her head::

Steve Armstrong "Keep eating," he mumbled. "Before I need to get you a helmet and a diagnosis."

Desmond Granger He nodded his head to Steve in acknowledgement, caught the bag of cookies and set them back on the table.  

Ethereal Rifts

FioHelston She shared a quietly meaningful look with the Scathacian, and moved along. "The next item of business tonight is a cyclical phenomenon we believe is occurring related to the Nexus."

Zack Alcar Grins back at Aja.

Alain DeMuer Quick thumbs up, keeping his hand close to the table.

Hochi Banto ::he still, nervously cleaned his filthy hands off on his shirt and pants::

Spell "Fio knows good words." Nodding to Steve.

Rhiannon Brock ::She pursed her lips::

Lem DeAngelo ::nods to Noah and Eregor:: I've got to head out. See you guys later. ::quietly disappears::

NorseLady Perhaps Victor should have spoken louder.

Rakeesh ::The beast's chest rises and falls quickly, at an animal's pace, as he calmly watches on. His hands remain rested against his torso, gently locked together. He does not overtly react to Fio's next item of discussion. Not immediately.::

Issy ::The Judge looked from Fio to Victor. A blank expression on her face with a hand gesture that seemed to say that she didn't know::

Eregor ::that got his attention, mention of the Nexus....though he nodded farewell to Lem::

PrlUnicorn Governor, there were two people speakin' up.

Noah Bird Noding to Lem.

Rachael Douglas Addition was made to her notes in the margin, Zack Alcar HIs brow rose to the talk of the Nexus.

FioHelston "Reports have been slowly making their way to town hall of..." she chose her words carefully, "spiritual manifestations of deceased individuals in greater than usual numbers."

Spell Blink, blink. "........How fun." Grinning ear to ear.

NorseLady An arching of one eyebrow.

Steve Armstrong Steve expelled a deep breath.

Edward Batten The talk of the Nexus didn't really interest him that much, until that past part came up. Now his curiousity was piqued.

FioHelston "In researching old city records, there is the thought that this may be related to what the city founders called 'ethereal rifts'. There is very little of a solid nature in the archives."

Rage and Shadow He mouths 'greater than usual numbers.' What an interesting phrase. Oh dear. A look to Shy.

Desmond Granger That got Desmond's attention, which the slow arch of a brow.

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre "...Oh..." She had a secret little fangy grin as she caught Jesse

Audrey Horne ::Her ears perk up and she casts a slow, sidelong glance Saffron's way.::

Aurthur Shimmerscale *Ahhh, the ghosts. Yes, this he was interested in, as he had his own rather disturbing encounter.*

Rakeesh ::Small, nearly unnoticeable beads of sweat begin to wet the fur at the liontaur's temples as he listens, expression relaxed.::

Takki ::Takki was completely lost at this point.::

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre 's smile out of hte corner of her eye, but the topic at hand had her ears tilting waaaaay back. Her tail twitched a little restlessly.

Dill T Jones "I don't think that's worth a hundred bucks." But it got a curl of a laugh from him. "Leave her in this boring mess and she'll stab me in my sleep..." A rumble, though he would perk up a bit when he heard the ghost talk coming out. "Ooooooh, ghost story time."

Ebon Ilnaren ::his fist clenched at the mention of "spiritual manifestations" and then relaxed::

Alain DeMuer Alain privately, but very strongly, considered leaving for Saint Aldwin and never returning at that news. The dead were dead; he did not wish to see them again.

Aurthur Shimmerscale *Scribbling down in his notebook as Fio spoke.*

Steve Armstrong One of the machinist's hands lifted to rub at the back of his neck, his gaze cast towards the floor

NorseLady Slide of gaze back to Victor. Had she mentioned her ghostly encounters to him' She cannot recall.

Spell "...I would very much like to eat one of these rifts.." Her body sort of leaning to the side...then upright as she slowly blinked.

Rachael Douglas Raven brow lifted while notes continued to be taken.

Katt A brow arched a bit wondering who brought this to the floor. Hm...

FioHelston "Again, all I can say at this point is that this is believed to be cyclical.....as it started, it will, eventually, heal itself. But I cannot say when that will occur."

Takki ::instead she watched the peoples in response to the words that the woman was using. Tilt if her head.::

Candy Hart A twitch in the edge of her jaw. She'd had enough experiences with the dead showing up when they shouldn't. She didn't like the idea of it happening again.

Icer1978 ::Peeking to Rakeesh then.::

Edward Batten He raised his hand.

Spell She'd then snort, then snicker. Leans against Steves leg.

Desmond Granger He doubted it was anything he had to worry about personally, but it was certainly interesting.

Lucy Mitford ::That's not the answer she was looking for. Lucy pouts, and looks back at her phone, tap-tap-tap::

Alain DeMuer As Alain lifted his eyes and looked around the room, he realized he wasn't the only one who looked tense.

FioHelston "In the interim, individuals who have talents in this area....exorcists, guides, sherpas if you will ....are encouraged to make your services available."

Spell "Your pants are soft, mine Steve.." Rubs her cheek against pant leg.

FioHelston "Councilor Batten?"

Eregor ::said with a chuckle::

Katt Her hand followed up after her brother's, swaying a bit and peering over to him to see if he was going to ask the same thing.

Steve Armstrong He didn't say a thing. Jesse might as well have not been there in that moment.

Issy ::She watched Ed and Katt. She wasn't really keen on this topic, after all....how creepy!::

Spell Now came the odd silence...and the staring off to the side.

NorseLady The last thing she wants are more ghosts to visit her. Shivers.

PrlUnicorn ::Collie was busy writing something down::

Aurthur Shimmerscale *He mumbled softly as he wrote* Never thought i'd see him again.....as bad as she is........*Mumble mumble*

LadyAjaBird ::leans there and just remained silent for now. Ghosts weren't her thing, others were better equiped to deal with those::

Rage and Shadow "Don't worry, Shy."

Ebon Ilnaren ::he turned to look at Ed, eyebrow raised::

Icer1978 ::Ghosts didn't seem to bother her though, well aside from the occasional great grandbaby popping in.::

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre She might have started to button up her bolero over the Ghostbusters logo on the front of her shirt. "Bustin' does not make me feel good. You lie Huey Lewis as sung by Ray Parker Jr. You lie."

Edward Batten "Is dere any indication of where dese...rifts are occurin'?"

Edward Batten "Like, a specific location?"

Rhiannon Brock ::She looked to Eregor::

Audrey Horne I've been up to my ears in ghosts. ::She mutters and then catches her bottom lip between her teeth, eyes skimming Saffron's shirt. She's kind of popculture stupid, which is kind of ironic.::

Eregor ::nodding to Rhi::

Spell Slinks down. Using Steves shoe as a pillow.

FioHelston "Not that I have heard. Reports have been coming from every part of the city for weeks."

NorseLady Especially any of those she has killed in battle. That would not be a good thing, in her opinion. Wonders something, and her eyes become big, like saucers. Quickly shoves the thought away. "Hvorfor not?" There is a lot to be concerned about when it comes to ghosts.

Icer1978 You too' ::Murmurred to Audrey.::

Kalamere ::slipping in quietly to catch what?s left of the meeting::

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre "Ugh.....Ffff*ck." She stood on her chair and raised her hand.

Ebon Ilnaren (s) I encountered one.

Rage and Shadow "I'll take care of them." Said with the kind of quiet assurance it is very easy to believe.

Audrey Horne Yeah. I shudder whenever someone rattles a bag..::And then she's watching Saffron stand up, and whoa..she's just too high.::

Rakeesh ::Once Ed finishes speaking, the liontaur also raises his hand, slowly, his stare narrowed down towards the long table before him.::

Katt Nope not the question she was going to ask so she patiently waited.

Steve Armstrong Some of the color had long since drained from his face, but he wasn't copping to anything.

Issy ::She blinked to Ebon::

FioHelston "Katt Batten."

Aurthur Shimmerscale I hate ghosts......Theres a very unpleasant one around the lair.

Rakeesh ::Noticing that Katt's hand is also raise, he manages a reserved smile and nods towards the woman, his gaze now settling upon her.::

Goldglo ::muttering something under his breath, he sits up straighter and uncrosses his arms::

NorseLady (s) "How" Will you explain later?"

Katt "The people who are making these reports. Is there a way to contact them' I mean is it kept on the recorded report' And if possible could I get ahold of said reports?"

Ebon Ilnaren ::he caught the look on Isuelt's face and nodded once::

Icer1978 Now love. ::Murmurred.:: Most are great grandbabies.

Rage and Shadow "Certainly."

Spell "If Matt Simon was here...we would have nothing to fear." A few mumbles after that...Oh, look " her hand. Begins staring at it.

Issy ::A swallow to her friend, Ebon. Then as she heard Katt, she shot a glance that way::

Aurthur Shimmerscale Not the one I saw dear........I wish I had just seen our grandchildren.......*He offered no more information than that.*

NorseLady Looks at Katt curiously.

Andu Kirost ::Sips his coffee and thinks.::

FioHelston "If the individuals have indicated that they wish their stories made public, then yes."

Lucy Mitford ::She glances across the room at Candy, then tap-tap-taps a text and sends it to her::

Icer1978 :;Arching an eyeridge, but whether to Katt's question, or her mate, was unsure.::

LadyAjaBird ::glances around at the various comments then back to the front::

Koyliak ::side glance at Matt::

FioHelston "Rakeesh?"

Takki ::Takki scratched her right shoulder and simply listened.::

NorseLady Now she feels bad for shushing him earlier. She just needed to know what is going on with the sewer information. It is imperative that she finds out.

Candy Hart Feels a vibration at her side and checks her phone.

Race Gaze flicks from person to person with a thoughtful look.

Audrey Horne ::She raises her hand too and glances from Katt to Rakeesh.::

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre She switched arms, raising her other hand.

Rakeesh Spirits and exorcisms. These are intricate matters. If it is a rift that is causing this phenomenon, as you say, then one method alone is unlikely to quell the hauntings. I would humbly suggest a joint effort by a number of volunteer experts in these areas with different backgrounds. A mass ritual exorcism that utilizes the natures of many religious and magical backgrounds would be the best chance to put a stop to this matter, hopefully for enough time to pass that the rifts may heal.

Rakeesh :: A beat. Then, he adds.:: A committee of action to properly plan for solutions in this regard. That is what I propose.

FioHelston "I'll take your suggestion of a committee under advisement," she murmured pleasantly. "Thank you."

Spell "I will sacrifice ten goats." Waving her hand above her head. It might of slapped Steves leg a few times.

Tara Rynieyn ::Wanders in with a phone at her ear which she is shaking in frustration. The female voice from the speaker says, "Now arriving at your destination: Pete's Pleasure Palace. Hope you had a nice trip!" She looks around with wide eyes:: Looks like the Hall to me. Where the hell is Pete" I'm not finding this pleasurable! How did I get here" Hullo in there" Yoohoo' ::and shakes it s'more::

Desmond Granger He knew nothing of ghosts and even less about rifts. He was fairly new to Rhy'Din and was still learning the ropes.

Audrey Horne ::Wavity wave.::

Steve Armstrong He grunted, but said nothing.

Goldglo ::the cold grows sharper::

Rachael Douglas Lips flatlined deeply. Notes continued to be taken in left handed script.

FioHelston "Councilor Horne?"

Icer1978 ::And yes, a blink and grin spotting Tara.::

Takki ::A glance to Aja, then Zack...much confused.::

Alain DeMuer Alain coughed suddenly into his hand. That definitely wasn't a startled laugh at Tara's entrance. No way.

Audrey Horne I don't have much to say, except that..ya know..if it's a personal haunting, talking to them seems to work sometimes. But Saffron has a question. ::And she points to the foxgirl.::

NorseLady Gives his hand another squeeze. Pleased that he is willing to help her no matter what the problem, or cause.

Candy Hart Reply delivered. Candy looks back to the topic at hand.

Aurthur Shimmerscale Pleasure Palace" *blinks in stunned amazement.*

Race Edges away from the door seeing Tara, like she might spontaneously combust or something.

Noah Bird He flickers back into veiw.

Goldglo ::Koy's presence, and MoonBeryl's, does not seem to calm him, at least not outwardly::

Takki ::Finally she looked back at the meeting, her questions would wait.::

Issy ::Looking over her shoulder, she spotted Tara's entrance and lightly smirked. Her chin upnodded to Race as she saw him just behind her::

Candy Hart A look at Matt.

FioHelston "Let's get through the rest of the agenda and then I'll open the floor for Q&A," suggesting because of the time.

Koyliak ::she didn't rub her arms for warmth despite a slight shiver from the cold she had grown to know so well. She stretched a few fingers to rest on his knee. She would bear it::

Rakeesh ::The liontaur wets his lips as he again becomes silent. His sights flicker from speaker to speaker, and he listens intently, attempting to absorb the din and murmer of the hall.::

LadyAjaBird ::shrugs to Takki::

Ebon Ilnaren ::he looked out at Tara's entrance, and likewise spotted Race as well, the latter getting a lift of his glass::

Tara Rynieyn ::The voice now says "Please tell me how I can be of assistance to you by saying what you want." She blinks, sniffs the phone and then backs away from it, holding it as far out as she can:: Well, I am a little hungry. Some exsanguination might be nice. How do I do this without getting arrested" There are a lot of people here who do not know Pete.

Spell "Is it Q and A time yet?" Rolls off Steves foot.

Rage and Shadow He squeezes Shy's hand back. Of course he will help her.

Steve Armstrong "Not yet."

Spell "...Tell me when...I must...I must.." Slow blink. "I must make it known.."

Audrey Horne Fair enough. ::She grins when she sees Tara and then slumps back into her seat, a shrug offered in lieu of comfort to Saffron.::

Lucy Mitford ::Lucy narrows her eyes glaring across the room at Candy. She leans towards Dillon, keeping her voice down as usual:: Next time we come to one of these things, we should make it a drinking game. Anytime Jesse offers to help — drink. Anytime someone talks without raising their hand — drink.

Race Double nod as he looks from Issy to Ebon.

Tara Rynieyn ::The voice now says "Did you say exsanguination or assasination?" She has to think on this, tapping her lip a moment and then grins:: Either will do. I'm not a picky person. ::Said as she elbows her way through the crowd::

Desmond Granger He glances at Tara's entrance before turning back to Fio. One cookie down, a whole bag to go. Sigh.

Q&A and Conclusion

FioHelston "And on that note, let's open this up for public questions or comments. Saffron, I think you're first on the list."

Spell "Eye'm second!" Pipes up.

Issy ::Of course it is, she smirked. Beltane was time for rancous sex in the fields...and it was looked favorable upon. How could this not be the most revered holiday around here" The Scathachian's shoulders shook lightly with a silent chuckle::

LadyAjaBird ::whispers to Zack:: Mur just took Dragons Gate.

Rhiannon Brock ::Rhi blinked as she heard Tara and murmured:: What baby'

Katt Ah! AH! Wait what"! She bounced in her seat at the mention of Beltane.

Audrey Horne ::She's scribbling notes like it's her job, one foot tap tap tapping against the floor.::

NorseLady Quietly says to Steve and Aja, "Some of my crew will bring the children's longships o'er this e'ening. They are finished, and ready to go into the water."

Tara Rynieyn (s) I'm also fairly sure he's a mutant but I have been unable to perform scientific testing to prove my theory. ::Looks over at Rhi:: Razzle.

Dill T Jones Mind caught on to what Candy was saying, but he shrugged shoulders over at her casually. If she had to stay here a while longer for this, he might as well too.

Goldglo ::looking Fio's way to indicate he'd like to say something::

Zack Alcar Light nod to that. " I'm out. " Shoulder nudge to Aja, before he moved to duck out of the Hall.

Steve Armstrong "Perfect, Shy," he flashed the woman a quick smile. "It's appreciated."

Kalamere ::attention shifting from Fio and Steve to the crystal in hand with a view into the arena, grumbles at the last round before realizing it and snapping his attention back to the meeting::

Rakeesh ::The beast, too, raises his hand - after a glance aside to Matt.::

LadyAjaBird ::nods to what Steve told Shy::

Desmond Granger He'd stay until the meeting was adjourned and then slip quietly out and for home. All of what was discussed would be passed along to Caroline who was home with a sick baby.

Noah Bird He raised his hand now.

Steve Armstrong Kal was given a thumbs up, just because.

Tara Rynieyn ::Jumps as a new voice (male) comes through the phone now "Hi and thank you for calling Armed to The Teeth! My name is Seth, how can I help you?" She blinks and whispers into the phone:: (s) I'm in a council meeting run by a mutant who is porking my cousin an' tryin to suffocate our baby with coal. I need a ranged weapon to assasinate him.

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre "Oh! Right!" She planted her hands and hopped back up to stand on her seat. "Uh....Hey....Uh....The Ghost stuff" Yah....It's uh....So..." She swallowed and rubbed at the back of her neck. "It's uh....apparently' It came from a family crypt. So....Uhm. I think Audrey said it that it's all kinda personal ghosts and not like..." She held out her hands. "....Thriller or anything, so maybe just kinda talkin' to 'em and seeing what they want might be the best way to handle 'em. 's kinda like....

Rhiannon Brock Oh. ::She whispered to Tara:: Steve's alright.

NorseLady Nods to Steve. "We are proud of them." Proud Norse Vikings" Smiles at the two near her.

Race Keeps his hand raised with the throng.

Katt She pouted a bit over to her brother but kept her mouth shut.

Kalamere ::smiles back, trying to cover the lost look that would betray his lack of earlier attentions::

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre ....spirit goo climbing into the forms of dead folks. Um....That's all I got!"

Steve Armstrong If he pretended Tara wasn't there, all would be well with the world.

Spell "Eye'm next." She said to the open air beside her.

Tara Rynieyn ::As the man stammers, she smiles over at Rhi:: Yer always so kind. I love that about you. Excuse me a moment. ::She whispers in the phone again:: (s) Also, could you throw in some molotovs please" I need to burn a few things on my way to eradicating the mutant.

NorseLady Her thoughts turn to Beltane. Looks over at the handsome Garou whose hand she holds. Dimples deepen as her smile widens.

Takki ::Brows furowed she did hear Saffron and she puzzled to herseof as to why some one would disturb a family cript..::

Rage and Shadow An odd look to Saffron. Strange idea, but perhaps. He looks back to Shy, returning a happy smile.

Edward Batten He looked back at Katt, a smirk on his features. "Ya know, ya could volunteer t'run it 'gain...ya did a damn good job wit' de last one."

Rakeesh ::He observes Saffron, mute, his bushy red eyebrows knitting tightly.::

FioHelston "Useful information. Thank you." She nodded appreciatively and tried very hard not to hear a word Tara was saying. "Jesse" Briefly, please."

Issy ::She folded the agenda in front of her and leaned against the table as she listened::

Spell She'd then blink to stand on top of the councils table. "Okay! I shall be brief!"

PrlUnicorn ::She nudged Tara and spoke quietly:: Ya got another ex-husband yer tryin' ta off, lass"

Ebon Ilnaren That you did, Katt....even if you were undercover.

Rage and Shadow "What's got you smiling like that, Gorgeous?"

Katt She shook her head a bit. "(vsw) Think they want something more professionally done." She shrugged a bit and leaned a bit to bump his shoulder.

FioHelston (Then Rakeesh, Matt and Race. If I missed anyone, raise your hand again?)

Audrey Horne ::She gives the vixen a thumbs-up and looks towards Jesse while leaning against Saffron, her lips brushing against a furry vulpine ear as she whispers.::

Noah Bird Still kept his hand up, waiting for his turn.

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre She slowwwly dropped back down into a crouch on her seat, ears straight out at either side of her head. "So that wasn't absolutely harrowing." The ear nearest Audrey tilted up to catch the whisper.

NorseLady Wonders what Jesse has to say this time.

Spell "One: There must be a stop to this Anti-Demon Communist talk! In Rakeeshys own letter it states, prepare safe traps to stop these demons and clear the district of their threat." She said, Flailing the agenda. "Demons have the right to dwell wherever they see fit! As it is their right in this fine city! One should not tell another they are not allowed to dwell here! Unless they are red commie bastards, then they can get right the #$%^&* t because I'm not paying for their childrens schooling! Also

FioHelston She spilled out a sigh. "Jesse. Language."

Tara Rynieyn ::The voice asks "We have a special today on sniper rifles......only five thousand dollars! We'll throw in the molotovs for free if you buy in the next ten minutes. How will you be paying today?" She thinks a moment and smiles:: (s) Can you invoice the Rhy'Din Governor's office please" Attention: Fionna Helston nee LeVey. But ship it to the Red Dragon Inn, attention Tara Rynieyn nee LeVey.

LadyAjaBird ::she just stood there and grinned.::

Spell , I would like it noted that I requested to aid Rakeeshy and if he does not give me a dream demon to study then he is full of lies and slander! Also, Aja is so jealous of mine great ship that is why she called me out! I will be offering aid simply to spite her!" A breath then taken.

Issy ::She gripped the bridge of her nose::

Spell "Oh, and Fio. You look quite beautiful tonight."

Takki ::takki just blinked and finally said something:: that is brief"

Tara Rynieyn (s) Umm, do you have any red gumdrops" Because those are my favorite.

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre As she caught the whisper, her other ear popped up and a fangy grin set on her lips, nodding enthusiastically.

Steve Armstrong Steve covered Jesse's mouth again. "I think she's done."

Steve Armstrong Wan smile.

Rachael Douglas Her facial scar twitched fiercely while notes were taken in that left handed script.

Spell Blink, blink. She sort of flailed as Steve held her.

FioHelston "Thank you, Jesse." Calmly. She had mastered the zen of breathing the past two years.

Candy Hart Took a pull from her beer. A glance between Fio and Jesse.

FioHelston "Rakeesh?"

Icer1978 ::A twitch of a grin.::

NorseLady Just shove a brownie into Jesse's mouth. That should help.

Goldglo ::shifting in his seat again as he looked away from Jesse after her proposals;:

Rakeesh ::He stands from his spot and dips his head forward as he begins to speak, his noble bass resounding throughout the hall.:: The Khul-din demons are the cause of children being possessed in the Old Temple District. These children suffer great horror from these demons, and are a threat to themselves and others. There have been several child suicides and murders recently in the District. Please, send a letter to the Overlord's Manor if you can offer any aid, as we have yet to end the threat.(cont)

LadyAjaBird ::chuckles and glances at Shy:: And my point was just made. ::quietly with a grin::

Tara Rynieyn ::Back to Colleen, shaking her head:: (s) No. I jus' like to see how well our fire department responds to emergencies seeing as the last time I set the Inn on fire Gremmy had to carry me out. They totally dropped the ball on that one, Miss Collie. Do you need a sniper rifle too'

NorseLady Turns her gaze upon Aja. (w) "You communist!" Ja, she knows ....it takes one to know one! She has already heard that line.

Edward Batten He shook his head, chuckling. (vs)"Yanno, Ah talked t'Fio de night o'de Beltane masquerade...she seemed t't'ink dat ya did a good job, too. An' ya know if ya need help, Ah'll be glad t'pitch in wit' ya."

Spell Double thumbs up at Steve.

PrlUnicorn ::She considered tossing Steve a roll of duct tape, but Tara had her attention now. She shook her head.:: No, darlin'.

Rage and Shadow "Anyone paying attention recently agrees with you, Aja."

Rakeesh Additionally, I would like to volunteer my experience with exorcisms, as a priest of Sekhmet, to any committees or efforts to deal with the recent hauntings. Let us let our ...loved ones and friends rest peacefully, as they deserve. ::a beat, and a deep inhalation:: Thank you.

FioHelston "That item of business has already been addressed." She cut him off right there. "Councilor Simon?"

Rakeesh ::Then, the liontaur sits once again, gaze drifting to Matt.::

LadyAjaBird ::snickers at Shy and Victor and then goes back to making notes::

Goldglo ::he stood slowly, chill air radiating from his body and likely felt by those nearby, though it lessens in intensity as he speaks. Drawing a deep breath, he paused a moment before speaking and then looked out over the Great Hall, to those seated::

Kalamere Wish ye'd 'ave taken 'em wit ye' when ye' gave me tha' district. ::sigh::

Goldglo First of all, let me state that what I'm about to say is unrelated to and does not stem from, on my part, my past and currently pending challenges with Rakeesh Sah Tarna in the dueling venues. It concerns Old Temple and its supposed self-proclaimed caretaker.

PrlUnicorn ::Collie raised her hand::

Goldglo ::clearing his throat, he glances over the other Council members before settling his gaze back on the crowd and begins:: Once again, Rakeesh petitions us for urgent action yet exhibits no urgency of his own. He requests support from others, from you, while he consistently finds other matters to turn his attention. We've all just witnessed evidence on how to get things done, and get them done appropriately and quickly. ::gesturing to Aja and Isuelt::.

Steve Armstrong His hand was replaced with a brownie.

Aurthur Shimmerscale It's not a loved one i'm seeing.......The bastard is lucky he's dead or i'd take him out again..........*Reading over his notes.*

Goldglo Rakeesh, on the other hand, continues to spend time seeking dueling titles and warmongering rather than focus on his efforts to where he demands we spend our own attention. This is not at all to discount that there's something sinister going on in the Old Temple district that requires diligent care in handling.

Goldglo But I tire of these false-hearted pleas from Rakeesh Sah Tarna. His words are as empty as his supposed honor and his professed concern. If you ::, pausing, he turns to look at Rakeesh:: truly are worried about the people in Old Temple, then stay out of the dueling venues, cease talking and writing about helping those people and actually do it.

Tara Rynieyn (s) Okies. ::Whispering back in the phone:: Only one sniper rifle per my previous instructions. I have to go now. Bye bye. ::And, she hangs up and looks around to see what was going on::

Goldglo I'll bet that you can't. Moreover, I bet that you won't. Your continual split attention does a disservice to Old Temple and indeed, all of Rhydin. Many people in this room have put forth their own time and efforts into uncovering what?s going on in Old Temple, only they do it the right way and with actual dedication.

Goldglo Until such time as you're prepared to wholeheartedly commit and devote yourself entirely to the cause you claim to hold so dear - the cause you continually ask us to get behind, to support and to act for - the cause you yourself give just barely enough attention to claim as your own - I request you stay your viper's tongue.

Goldglo Please, no longer waste this Council's time or the time of those actually committed to aiding Old Temple any further with your empty half-hearted requests that blossom with intent and promise and then die empty on the wind as you lay them aside for other interests and personal accolades. ::he'd then sit back down::

NorseLady Matt has her attention.

Spell "That's what I said...Why is he taking mine speech?" Grunts at Matt.

Tara Rynieyn ::mouth ajar at Matt::

Ebon Ilnaren He said it better. ::absently, to Jesse::

Katt Sighing under her breath she murmured to her brother, "(vsw) We need to work on somehow making asprin for me."

Rage and Shadow Sounds like someone just threw down a gauntlet.

FioHelston She was quiet for a moment, then pointed to Noah. He was next. She didn't know his name.

Koyliak ::Koy glanced around to see how Matt's words would be received::

Kalamere Matt, in fairness, I'd wager ye' consider yerself ta be one wha' cares about the city...yet yer a baron, an opal an a keeper. Why would tha' be mutually exclusiver fer Rakeesh an na yerself"

MurOllavan ::appeared in the hall with Maul::

Rhiannon Brock ::She nodded her agreement with Ebon::

Rakeesh ::The liontaur is non-plussed, by way of his expression. He folds his arms over his chest while watching Matt speak out against him, his left eyebrow ticked upward slightly. He does not speak or react further, though.::

Eregor ...did we suddenly jump back to winter, or am I imagining the sudden temperature drop"

Race Mouth agape as Fio apparently skips him....

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre Saffron glanced from Matt....to Rakeesh....back to Matt....and finally to Audrey, hands on her ankles and eyes all big. "Sports!"

LadyAjaBird ::smiles at Matt::

FioHelston Then Race! She was just stunned witless a moment.

FioHelston Then Collie.

NorseLady Overhearing Eregor, snickers.

Spell "Sports!" Calling out too.

PrlUnicorn ::She noted Race's fishjaw and eyed him::

Steve Armstrong Steve let out a low whistle, staring at Matt. Wow.

Tara Rynieyn ::Violets darting all over the place at the various people speaking::

Molly MacLairish The killer leans against Mur. Her shirt declares her First Prize.

Spell "I know, I said it quite well - did I not?" To Steve. Thinking his whistle was for her.

Rachael Douglas Raven brow lifted. Sapphires shielded by those dark lensed sunglasses flicked from Matt to the current Overlord to Kalamere. Lips briefly twitched.

Race At some point brings his hand up to his jaw and shuts his mouth.

Candy Hart A smirk for Matt's words. His cold does not reach the holder of FireStar.

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre She nodded to Jesse in solidarity.

Tara Rynieyn (s) This is so much better than Pete's Pleasure Palace.

Audrey Horne Mmmm. ::She nods in agreement to Kal's words, but there's probably more toffee somewhere and she just can't be arsed. A cigarette is slid free from behind her ear with a swipe of her hand and she slips it between her lips, the action repeated to offer up a coffin nail to Saffron.::

Steve Armstrong "You were much more eloquent than usual, Jesse." Was that good enough'

Spell "Eye'm going to go hug Tara. Release me at once, mine Steve."

Noah Bird He stands up. and clears his voice. "I am Noah Bird, squire of Old Market. Lord Lem and I wants to let Lady Aja know that the Old Market supports her in the clean up of the harbor. and lend me to service to help clean up."

NorseLady Lifts Victor's hand that is holding hers, and uses the back of it to rub against a small itch on her cheek.

Tara Rynieyn ::Hearing Jesse, she rises from Colleen's lap and starts for her bestie:: Be back Miss Collie.

FioHelston "Very good. Thank you."

FioHelston "Race?"

MurOllavan ::looks to take a seat at a table::

Noah Bird "and both of us to be in the service," he added,

LadyAjaBird ::nods with a smile to Noah:: Please tell Lem, we appreciate his assistance. ::winks::

Molly MacLairish Licks Mur's cheek.

LadyAjaBird *Lem know

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre She flipped up her palm and shook her head to the offer of the smoke, but she did pull out her fancy little Tachikoma lighter for Audrey.

Edward Batten He arched an eyebrow at her, a thoughtful look on his features as he nodded. "Ah'm sure we c'n work somet'in' out...ya know Ah got a whole medical division."

PrlUnicorn ::she nodded to Tara::

Rage and Shadow "Itchy there, Shy?" he asks, wonderingly.

NorseLady "Not anymore." Grins as she lowers their hands.

Tara Rynieyn I found this, my Queen. There are naked pictures on it. An' I got us a sniper rifle. ::Said to Jesse as she bows, then straightens and opens her arms::

Noah Bird "Will do, Mom." He let out a sigh and a smile. He sat back down.

NorseLady * clasped hands.

Race Gets himself composed and steps fromthe wall. "Thank you...I am sorry I have delayed in getting fliers out, but I would like to remind everyone that sunday the 14th is not only Children's Day, but it is the one year anniversary of the Rhydin WonderPlex. Just as our grand opening last year, children under the age of 12 can enter for free. We also have a station stop along the RTS."

Alain DeMuer Alain jotted down an addendum to the earlier note Issy saw, angling it her way and raising an eyebrow.

FallenHunter *she smiled listening*

Candy Hart Kalamere gets a flat look.

Audrey Horne ::She leans in close to the flame, breathes in until the cherry is all nice and glowing red, and then leans back. Legs crossing, her free arm draped across her stomach, she winks at Saffron and then turns her attention to the Tara and Jesse show.::

Spell Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle from Steve. She'd then strut across the floor toward Tara. "Mine grace. It is good to see you once more." She did a curtsey. Plucking at her robes and lifting it as she did so. "I would offer to kiss you, but we are not in lesbians with one another, as the children say. At least not yet." She then perked a brow. "...Naked pictures...and a sniper rifle" Do we have a target to purge?"

Tara Rynieyn Hi Overperson! ::Just now seeing Candy and waving at her like a fan::

Rage and Shadow A little nod to Race's words. They might not go there, but it is interesting.

Kalamere ::winks back at Candy::

FioHelston "Excellent. Thank you very much. Collie?"

PrlUnicorn Afore ya closed out the subject, Governor, the gent over there, ::a gesture to Victor:: had a question about the sewer project proposed by Councillor DeRomiano. As did the Squire from Battlefield Park mention havin' a suggestion. I'd like ta know what they were.

Steve Armstrong Oh, good. Let Jesse and Tara distract each other.

Issy ::She returned writing on Alain's paper::

Rakeesh ::The liontaur waits until all of the conversations and statements finish, for the meeting's end. He will listen silently to the rest of it, expression taut with unspoken concern. Then, he tucks his chin down towards his left shoulder and his jaw tightens, abruptly. He stands and whispers a word - and then is simply gone from the Greath Hall as the proceedings continue.:: ((sorry, late for a dinner date! thanks Fio and everyone!))

Candy Hart Kal's going to get another hot seat. Candy nodded to Tara. Though, she no longer holds that title.

Saffron Jensen-Lefevre She closed the lighter with a quick flip of her wrist and tucked it back into her jacket pocket....though she did end up mouthing in lesbians with a quirked brow and a snorty little snicker.

Tara Rynieyn Sadly, we are not but jus' two queens without proper kingdoms to dominate an' control. Which is why I purchased the sniper rifle. It is time we remedy that situation. ::She hands the phone to Jesse:: There is a woman trapped inside who speaks to you yer heart's content. Our target is the mutant who kidnapped you briefly. ::She points over at Steve::

MurOllavan I think they are discussing building your manor, Maul. ::nods and sips the beer he swiped::

Rage and Shadow He is gestured at, and the looks up towards Fio.

Katt "(vsw) And you know I am not exactly normal. Regular asprin doesn't work on me.." She watched after Rakeesh and shook he rhead with a sigh.

Rage and Shadow *then he looks

NorseLady Notes that Rakeesh always seems to leave early from the meetings. It gives her something to ponder.

FioHelston "Thanks."She pointed to Victor first.

Molly MacLairish "I have a manor. Yours."

Tara Rynieyn ::Unfortunately once Tara nicknames someone it sticks so Candy will forever be known as that. The good news is she only nicknames those she likes!::

Spell "Mine Steve" Is he not bedfellow with Mother Fio?" She looked over her shoulder at Steve. Then to the cellphone she now held.

Rage and Shadow "The sewer mapping project, is it in need of any volunteers or help like the harbor project?"

Steve Armstrong "....." Twitch.

MurOllavan Yes, but I'm sure it will need expensive renovating.

Koyliak ::Koy watched Rakeesh leave but then her attention fell for a moment on the fact that Jesse and Tara were putting their heads together. She couldn't hear what they said but she imagined at least one person at the meeting should probably be concerned::

Kalamere I should sponsor somethin' fer children's day....::frowns as he considers:: classes on how ta weigh dice an palm cards or may'aps the art o' debt collection.

Tara Rynieyn Yes, a proper title as you are no doubt aware of his plans to trap my cousin Fio, whom you refer to as "Mother", along with our child, Razzle, down a mineshaft. You are so clever, my Queen. It's almost as if we share one mind at times. I always feel like you can read my thoughts. ::She looks at her with appreciation and admiration now and bows again::

FioHelston "I'll defer to Councilor DeRomiano to answer."

Noah Bird That was done. He moves to lean by Christa.

Ebon Ilnaren ::he could hear what they were saying, and was trying hard not to guffaw::

Molly MacLairish "I could tear down some walls."

LadyAjaBird ::looks to Kal and grins:: Take a turn in da dunk tank. Many o women would pay ta see ya wet, Kal.

Edward Batten He nodded to his sister with a smile. (vs)"Yeah, Ah know, sis. Might take a li'l doin', but Ah bet we c'n work somet'in' out fer ya. Ah still got a sample o'yer DNA an' stuff t'work wit'."

Issy ::She cleared her throat and looked from Fio to Victor:: I will place your name with the Watch, who will be heading up the volunteer core. ::She bowed her head to him:: But other than that, I'm not sure of the number of people that they will need. Or ....what sort of ....qualifications...they will require. ::She glanced to the floor for a moment before she nodded once again to Victor::

Alain DeMuer It was late. Alain excused himself in a low murmur of French, then left.

NorseLady Shy would pay to dunk Steve.

Icer1978 ::Peeking back over her mate's shoulder, trying hard not to grin as she heard Tara and Jesse.::

Katt She blinked at Ed. "(vsw) You still have that' Well..good. Don't care for more needles.."

Steve Armstrong Currently, Steve was the only one signed up to be dunked.

Rage and Shadow "I'm not really that sure I want to trudge through the sewers. I was inquiring for anyone else."

MurOllavan ::pets:: Well we have to see just how awful it is prior to all that.

Spell "...if he is to hurt mine Fio, then he must be purged. Even though I put on the meetings agenda that he shall take me camping in the woods of elves and other creatures of magic." Fingers found he chin...Exaggerated stroking of an invisable beard. "Mayhaps we are sisters, mine grace...or perhaps you are the future me or I am the future you...The space time ripples are something of a stange subject, I will have to travel the warps more..." Then a pause.

Spell "What were we speaking of?"

Takki ::Takki pondered what a dunk tank was..::

FioHelston "Rhiannon, you are next, I believe."

Kalamere ::chuckles at Aja:: When it gits a wee bit warmer, ye could jus' come out ta the beach an join me fer a late night swim.

Aurthur Shimmerscale No cheating love, take your own notes......*Snickering and putting his notepad away*

Rhiannon Brock I would like to suggest that since Captain Bird has difficulty working with Jesse of the many names and Jesse has a great affinity for treasure hunting and salvaging that Jesse's talents for hunting treasure would best be of use in the sewer project and that she be given specific areas to work in to avoid conflicts.

Tara Rynieyn I also heard some talk of children an' a day being held to honor them when I arrived earlier. If it pleases you, we could take a few of those out first, for target practice an' so that we can be sure we do not miss our target on the appointed day of his demise. ::She glances over at Steve, an ancient evil mind working with so many ideas and possibilities:: We were speaking of the girl trapped in there. ::Points to the phone:: Speak yer heart's content an' be amazed at what she grants you.

Spell "Ah. Yes. Shooting Steve. If you would like, you may use mine shoulder to steady. Shall I take a knee?"

Rachael Douglas Raven brow lifted at Isuelt's words while she took notes left handed.

LadyAjaBird ::laughs quietly and raises a brow to Kal with a sassy smile:: mmm. Interesting offer. ::goes quiet again to be respectful::

Noah Bird a poke to his greasy brother.

Spell Cackles, then quickly stops. Slow blinks.

Spell "We are targeting children..?"

Tara Rynieyn ::Shake of the red head:: No, no, we shall acquire a slave whose shoulder we shall use instead. Yers is too perfect for such a menial job.

Spell "But I need them for my soup of immortality!"

Molly MacLairish The killer nuzzled. Taking in his scent. Again she licks his cheek.

PrlUnicorn Tara, leave the kids alone. ::There was the mom voice::

Tara Rynieyn ::Blinks:: In that case, I respectfully withdraw my suggestion to wipe out the youth of this miserable town. Who do you propose we practice on instead"

LadyAjaBird ::glances to Rhi. thinks a moment and smirks. This would work for her::

Kalamere ::glances over to Jesse:: Should 'ave pushed ta merge the day wit' undead appreciation like I tol' ye.

Tara Rynieyn Jus' bouncing ideas off my bestie, Miss Collie! No worries! ::She calls out:: If you cannot think of any, ask the trapped girl. She will know.

Spell "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....!" She was thinking. "...Mayhaps...Dragons" I do need more scales for mine spells. Jellybean requires them."

FioHelston "Pumpkins," she mumbled to Tara.

NorseLady She and Victor have a lot to talk about when they return to her log home.

Eregor ::smiles at the elegant solution:: Perhaps there are blue gemstones in the sewers.

Edward Batten He chuckled and nodded. (vs)"O'course Ah do...figgered if ya ever got into trouble again like ya did de las' time, it might come in handy."

Spell "Trapped girl! Speak to me! Tell me your secrets!" She yelled to the phone.

LadyAjaBird ::and then looks to Jesse now that she's mentioned eating kids again and then looks to Fio with a raised eyebrow::

FioHelston "Councilor DeRomiano will suggest her to the Watch, as with any other volunteer for that project, if she volunteers."

Katt She grunted. "(vsw) Yeah you know me and trouble. Best of friends.."

Icer1978 ::And a muffled giggle as Fio mentioned pumpkins.::

Noah Bird a glance to Jesse as she mention the dragonscales.

Rhiannon Brock I believe she already did.

Rage and Shadow On that note, Victor reaches to muffle a yawn. "My lady, I believe it is time to say our fare thee wells."

FioHelston That was in answer to Rhiannon, and with that, she gave a last, sweeping glance around the room. "Are there any last questions before I adjourn the meeting?"

PrlUnicorn Bestie" ::She frowned at Tara::

Tara Rynieyn ::Looks up and around then:: I could swear I heard someone say pumpkins....::And, then Jesse is treated to the Voice....."Please refine your search parameters. Do you wish to know more about secrets" Or local dialects?"::

Candy Hart Her beer is drained and the empty set aside. Candy takes note of Mur, giving him a questioning look. Hopefully his night ended better than King's.

Tara Rynieyn Her name is Tracy, I have learned. ::To Jesse, helpfully, as she looks around::

Steve Armstrong ...When did Jesse turn on him'

Audrey Horne Hey, Saffron. ::She pokes the vixen in the side, and pulls back one corner of her mouth to let the smoke escape.::

Spell "Tracy! Where do I find dream eating demons to test"! Rakeeshy will most likely flake on me!"

Spell "Oo...let's shoot pumpkins!"

MurOllavan ::pets his first prize Maul with a ringed hand::

Spell "and then turn them into bigger pumpkins.."

Rachael Douglas LIps flatlined deeply.

Noah Bird Guessing his poking of his brother knocked him away

PrlUnicorn ::Collie was about to say something when Jesse put her own foot in things::

FioHelston "If not, then we are right at time for the evening. I hereby adjourn this meeting."
