Cerra Manor House
---------------------------------------------------------------

[ 2014.06.23 06:07:34 ] EVE System > Channel MOTD: Double wood and glass doors lead into a huge foyer of the house.  To the right a door leads into a large sitting room.  Floor to ceiling glass walls overlook an opened deck.A huge set of spiral steps leads up to the second floor.Potted tropical plants adorn the foyer.
[ 2014.06.23 06:08:17 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote hasn't made it beyond the foyer. She is on the bottom step of the spiral staircase petting one of her slaver hounds.
[ 2014.06.23 06:09:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters, looking to see where Shalee is and noticing her in the foyer.
[ 2014.06.23 06:09:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says hesitantly "Shalee?"
[ 2014.06.23 06:10:03 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote looks up as the door opens, her blue gaze falls upon Luna, "Yes?"
[ 2014.06.23 06:11:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote averts the gaze slightly for a moment, then returns the gaze.
[ 2014.06.23 06:11:43 ] Shalee Lianne > Well?
[ 2014.06.23 06:12:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'll be direct.  Have I offended you recently?"
[ 2014.06.23 06:12:02 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote idly strokes her fingers through Auga's fur, waiting. "You have something to say?"
[ 2014.06.23 06:12:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns slightly.
[ 2014.06.23 06:12:32 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote shrugs lightly, "I've no idea. Have you?"
[ 2014.06.23 06:12:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I've gotten the sense that haven't been pleased to see me around.
[ 2014.06.23 06:13:09 ] Shalee Lianne > Based on...?
[ 2014.06.23 06:13:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Shalee "a lot of little things."
[ 2014.06.23 06:13:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "something only a girl would notice."
[ 2014.06.23 06:14:01 ] Shalee Lianne > What little things? I've barely seen you.
[ 2014.06.23 06:14:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It's been a while since you've said anything other than a 'nod' to me.
[ 2014.06.23 06:14:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You seem... discomfited by me being near Tiger or as if you are pushing Tiger towards me as if testing something.
[ 2014.06.23 06:15:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote runs her hands through her hair and sighs, leaning back against the wall as if she is really tired and drained by just saying those few sentences to Shalee.
[ 2014.06.23 06:16:10 ] Shalee Lianne > Pushing you towards Tiger? You wanted to see a painting, I asked him to show it to you. You wanted to dance, I asked him to dance with you. Isn't that what a good friend would do? I had considered us good friends.
[ 2014.06.23 06:16:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "As have I"
[ 2014.06.23 06:17:01 ] Shalee Lianne > So I'm not sure what you think you're picking up on.
[ 2014.06.23 06:17:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns slightly "you haven't seemed to be yourself recently."
[ 2014.06.23 06:17:50 ] Shalee Lianne > I don't know what you mean by that. However, if you picked up any annoyance from me last night, it was directed at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.23 06:18:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles softly from deep in her throat "it seemed fairly obvious to me at that."
[ 2014.06.23 06:18:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Is there something you need a friend to talk to about?"
[ 2014.06.23 06:19:34 ] Shalee Lianne > No. But I would like to ask why you pulled that little stunt with your 'hurt foot' (she does air quotes). You wanted to dance, so why not with Tiger?
[ 2014.06.23 06:20:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's lip quirks slightly "Because I thought it would not be in my best interest to do so with you being annoyed at Tiger... and perhaps with me."
[ 2014.06.23 06:20:28 ] Shalee Lianne > Why should I be annoyed with you?
[ 2014.06.23 06:20:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote does not indicate in way in her posture that her foot is sore or hurt.
[ 2014.06.23 06:21:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I don't know."
[ 2014.06.23 06:22:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But sometimes, misunderstandings happen if one doesn't clear the air.
[ 2014.06.23 06:22:35 ] Shalee Lianne > Do we have anything we need to clear the air over?
[ 2014.06.23 06:22:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks directly at Shalee "in case there is, I have no interest in Tiger."
[ 2014.06.23 06:23:22 ] Shalee Lianne > Okay?
[ 2014.06.23 06:23:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I... haven't had genuine interest in anyone since Michaelus was gone."
[ 2014.06.23 06:23:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ok, then" *smiles faintly*
[ 2014.06.23 06:24:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rubs the bridge of her nose.
[ 2014.06.23 06:24:44 ] Shalee Lianne > Did you think that I thought that the two of you were involved?
[ 2014.06.23 06:25:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote 's lip quirks again "I didn't know what to think. You were acting odd.. more so since you've been podded."
[ 2014.06.23 06:25:59 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote chuckles at the thought. She leans over and rubs her nose against Auga's fur, then looks to Luna, "No offense, but you're not his type."
[ 2014.06.23 06:26:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well... good then.  He's not really mine either."
[ 2014.06.23 06:27:02 ] Shalee Lianne > He likes them a bit young, and wild. If I had to guess, perhaps your daughter would pique his interest.
[ 2014.06.23 06:27:36 ] Shalee Lianne > But then again, who he fools around with on his own time is his own business. We aren't exclusive.
[ 2014.06.23 06:27:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses and glances at the Cat as her nose twitches.
[ 2014.06.23 06:28:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well.. Maria's Maria. *shrugs helplessly*
[ 2014.06.23 06:28:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I appreciate your taking her in. I was here to visit her partially.
[ 2014.06.23 06:29:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She is being taken to the same doc.... *breaks off as she remembers something EG told her* She is being taken for a medical evaluation to calm her hysterics down.
[ 2014.06.23 06:29:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles faintly "Although Hevaima told me he broke off relations with TSF, I think Maria will calm down."
[ 2014.06.23 06:30:18 ] Shalee Lianne > Perhaps.
[ 2014.06.23 06:30:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Do you think something else is going on with her?
[ 2014.06.23 06:31:52 ] Shalee Lianne > I don't know, I don't have time to babysit her. I try to keep an eye on her when I can, but the duties of the corp come first.
[ 2014.06.23 06:32:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says firmly "of course."
[ 2014.06.23 06:32:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. I won't keep you.  We should have a girl's night out sometime perhaps...." *trails off*
[ 2014.06.23 06:33:05 ] Shalee Lianne > I think, that you are the one who is acting strangely with me. But I don't understand why.
[ 2014.06.23 06:34:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Shalee says matter of factly "Nor would I."
[ 2014.06.23 06:34:28 ] Shalee Lianne > But you do admit that you are?
[ 2014.06.23 06:34:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Not at all.
[ 2014.06.23 06:35:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I read things into people a lot... that's part of what I do.  I may have misread this situation and I apologize.
[ 2014.06.23 06:35:44 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote scrunches up her brows. "You faked a foot injury, and I'm still not certain why. You haven't quite explained that bit."
[ 2014.06.23 06:36:20 ] Shalee Lianne > What was the point of lying? I mean, if you are going to lie to my face about something so trivial as not wanting to dance with them, then what else are you capable of lying about? That is what I wonder.
[ 2014.06.23 06:37:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs. "I didn't particularly want to get into the situation last night.  I prefer to avoid confrontation."
[ 2014.06.23 06:38:45 ] Shalee Lianne > What situation? We were at a dance bar. You wanted to dance. I feel like I keep saying this and you keep giving me absurd answers. Confrontation about WHAT?
[ 2014.06.23 06:38:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quirks a smile "I didn't want to ruin anyone's night."
[ 2014.06.23 06:39:35 ] Shalee Lianne > How would you dancing with him ruin my night?
[ 2014.06.23 06:39:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well.. to be blunt, even if you didn't have an issue with me, you clearly did with Tiger.  I didn't want to get in the middle of it.
[ 2014.06.23 06:40:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks down slightly crimson "and I took the easy way out"
[ 2014.06.23 06:41:21 ] Shalee Lianne > Ah, now we get to the heart of it. Just so you know, I prefer bluntness. I don't appreciate half-truths, lies, nor manipulation. So here is my truth, if you have time to hear it?
[ 2014.06.23 06:41:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote inclines her head slightly and then with an annoyed flick brushes some strands of her away from her eyes "Certainly."
[ 2014.06.23 06:42:23 ] Shalee Lianne > When I met Tiger, he was Sani
[ 2014.06.23 06:42:26 ] Shalee Lianne > wait!)
[ 2014.06.23 06:42:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote straightens immediately with a dark look coming over face but she pauses as Shalee says 'wait
[ 2014.06.23 06:44:04 ] Shalee Lianne > ..he was Sani Sabik. He was dark, and completely fucked up. Evil. And I fell in love with him anyhow and I defied everyone to be with him. And I gave him my whole heart and he destroyed it when he cheated. Repeatedly.
[ 2014.06.23 06:45:33 ] Shalee Lianne > He carried on a relationship with someone else, got her pregnant, and had his entire corp and all of his friends lie to me to my face about it. It took a long time for me to forgive him, but it is hard to forget. But I knew something was going on, I
[ 2014.06.23 06:46:58 ] Shalee Lianne > had this sick little feeling, this nagging doubt. I felt it. And I feel it now. I know something is up with him. Whether it is you, Maria, or someone else, I know that something is going on. But we aren't exclusive, because I can't trust him. It's
[ 2014.06.23 06:47:38 ] Shalee Lianne > like a huge circle. So, I'm warning you- if it is you, or your daughter, you should know that he will never leave me completely.
[ 2014.06.23 06:47:40 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote shrugs.
[ 2014.06.23 06:49:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote has a dark look on her face like she is fixated on one part of what Shalee said "Oh. Trust me, The heat death of the universe will happen before I allow him to go my daughter. He's Sani Sabik?"
[ 2014.06.23 06:50:59 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote shrugs again, "He was, when I met him, he was practically the highest you can go in the ranks. He denounced it, yet he still carries his ceremonial blade. It wouldn't surprise me." She quirks a brow, "What does it matter to you?"
[ 2014.06.23 06:51:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Maybe that sick feeling you feel is that he still is.
[ 2014.06.23 06:51:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "My parents were killed by Sani Sabik,,, and my husband was kidnapped and killed by them."
[ 2014.06.23 06:51:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes, looking pale.
[ 2014.06.23 06:52:08 ] Shalee Lianne > How could you not have known this about him?
[ 2014.06.23 06:52:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "After Michaelus died, I joined the Theolog Council enforcement units to root them out."
[ 2014.06.23 06:52:28 ] Shalee Lianne > It is common knowledge.
[ 2014.06.23 06:52:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I don't know.  I make it my business to know.  I guess I never thought to know since he was with In Exile."
[ 2014.06.23 06:53:15 ] Shalee Lianne > He is in our corp because of me, not because he has any undying loyalty to the Amarr.
[ 2014.06.23 06:53:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says tersely "I see."
[ 2014.06.23 06:54:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote steadies herself with a hand on the wall, visibly pale and shaking "Well.. I came here hoping to sort things out and it seems are things even more muddled than before"
[ 2014.06.23 06:54:39 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote stares at her for a long moment as if trying to figure her out.
[ 2014.06.23 06:55:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I served for fifteenyears..
[ 2014.06.23 06:56:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > my last unit was ambushed when we tried to retrieve some ..... "hostages" from a blood raider cathedral.
[ 2014.06.23 06:56:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > There was an infiltrator in our ranks.  They knew everything we had and what we were coming with.
[ 2014.06.23 06:57:55 ] Shalee Lianne > i doubt Tiger had anything to do with that.
[ 2014.06.23 06:58:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > We didn't stand a chance.. i was so badly damaged I was in the hospital for months, They tested me for clone/pod compatibility.
[ 2014.06.23 06:59:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stares at Shalee "If he is currently one of them, he is an infiltrator in your ranks.  How can you know that your fleets are safe?"
[ 2014.06.23 06:59:54 ] Shalee Lianne > If he wanted to infiltrate, he could pay anyone to do it. Fleets are rarely safe.
[ 2014.06.23 07:00:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And your corporation?
[ 2014.06.23 07:00:55 ] Shalee Lianne > It is just as unsafe. Nothing is safe, Luna. Spies are everywhere. You'd be naive to believe otherwise. The only person you can truly trust is yourself. No one else.
[ 2014.06.23 07:01:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns "True but to allow someone who is an inherent risk..." *trails off* "None of those people can be trusted, ever."
[ 2014.06.23 07:02:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote slides down the wall so her back is to it, sitting on the floor with her knees drawn up.
[ 2014.06.23 07:02:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Gosh, I need to sort this out.'
[ 2014.06.23 07:02:57 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "He is as trusted as anyone else. But why are you reacting like this? Surely he is not the first Sani Sabik you've ever met. You're taking this awfully hard. Why?" She stares at Luna, watching as she collapses to the ground.
[ 2014.06.23 07:03:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They bring death and destruction."
[ 2014.06.23 07:03:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They are an insidious blot on the Empire..."
[ 2014.06.23 07:03:38 ] Shalee Lianne > So this isn't personal? You don't have feelings for him?
[ 2014.06.23 07:03:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says coldly "Oh...now I do."
[ 2014.06.23 07:04:04 ] Shalee Lianne > You know what I mean. Don't twist my words.
[ 2014.06.23 07:05:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glares at Shalee and spits out "No it is not personal to Tiger.  What a way to test that."
[ 2014.06.23 07:05:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > you should know that I instigated the recent destruction of the Blood Raider cathedral in KFIE.  That Nauplius is about to be hunted to every nook and cranny of New Eden. I stlll war against them in my own way.
[ 2014.06.23 07:05:55 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote lifts a brow, "I'm not testing you."
[ 2014.06.23 07:06:01 ] Shalee Lianne > I was ASKING you.
[ 2014.06.23 07:06:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says flatly "I did not have feelings for him."
[ 2014.06.23 07:08:00 ] Shalee Lianne > As you should. War against them, I mean.
[ 2014.06.23 07:08:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Shalee silently.
[ 2014.06.23 07:09:16 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote meets her gaze steadily, "My whole family was Sani."
[ 2014.06.23 07:09:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks tired and holds her hands in head.
[ 2014.06.23 07:10:29 ] Shalee Lianne > I was forced into it, forced to do unspeakable things in the name of God. I finally ran away, joined militia, and...killed them all. So don't think that I don't know what it means to wage war against the Sani Sabik.
[ 2014.06.23 07:10:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks back up at Shalee "then you understand."
[ 2014.06.23 07:11:08 ] Shalee Lianne > As far as I know, I pulled Tiger from that. If he is still Sani, then he is doing a remarkable job of hiding it.
[ 2014.06.23 07:11:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says flatly "I am a part of SFRIM because I do believe in redemption, conversion..."
[ 2014.06.23 07:12:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > If you ever find out he is hiding it... let me know. I will help you... deal with it.
[ 2014.06.23 07:14:14 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote tilts her head, "I didn't know about your history. I didn't tell you that to 'test' you-I told you that to illustrate why he is dangerous. Even if he isn't Sani, he has a dark side. Did you know that after I found out about his cheating and
[ 2014.06.23 07:15:19 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote left him, he couldn't tolerate it. My Father had kept all of these mindscans of me before I ran away, and Tiger got his hands on them. He cloned me, Luna, and kept that 'other me' locked away aboard his carrier."
[ 2014.06.23 07:16:15 ] Shalee Lianne > He is dark, and I come from darkness. But you are so good, and light. You don't stand a chance against him, okay? Just be careful.
[ 2014.06.23 07:16:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twiches slightly but is looking directly at Shalee listening.
[ 2014.06.23 07:16:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I assure you, Shalee, i will."
[ 2014.06.23 07:17:24 ] Shalee Lianne > Warn your daughter.
[ 2014.06.23 07:17:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am not sure.. she can be as mature as I am about this.....
[ 2014.06.23 07:18:01 ] Shalee Lianne > Like I said, we aren't exclusive. He can see who he wants, and I wont say anything about it.
[ 2014.06.23 07:18:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *quirks a grin as if to say aren't I being mature?*
[ 2014.06.23 07:18:18 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote chuckles a low little sound in the back of her throat.
[ 2014.06.23 07:18:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But.. yes, she needs to know.'
[ 2014.06.23 07:19:39 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote chews her bottom lip as her brows pull together. "Are they involved?"
[ 2014.06.23 07:19:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Maria?  Tiger's too old I think.
[ 2014.06.23 07:20:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am worried that she's seeing him as a father figure... which causes its own issues....
[ 2014.06.23 07:20:31 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote wrinkles her nose. "Weird."
[ 2014.06.23 07:20:47 ] Shalee Lianne > He isn't a Father to his own children, why should he play one to her?
[ 2014.06.23 07:21:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles, still on the floor looking up Shalee "Yes it is.  He may be trying for more, but Maria doesn't trust anyone over thirty"
[ 2014.06.23 07:21:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "As far as guys gp
[ 2014.06.23 07:22:41 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods.
[ 2014.06.23 07:22:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote reaches a hand out to Shalee "Hey,.. a hand up? *sheepishly*
[ 2014.06.23 07:23:34 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote pushes her slaver hound to the side and stands. She approaches Luna and grabs her hand, then tugs her up.
[ 2014.06.23 07:24:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stands, resting a hand on Shalee's sholder then letting it fall "Well.. thank you for clearing the air."
[ 2014.06.23 07:24:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs "this will be difficult.   But if you think you've turned him, I will always support Imperial Outlaws and you."
[ 2014.06.23 07:24:30 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods. "You as well."
[ 2014.06.23 07:24:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2014.06.23 07:25:02 ] Shalee Lianne > I think so, yes. But then again, I don't trust anyone. So, who knows.
[ 2014.06.23 07:25:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "My life is about trust. I don't give it easily, but when it's given, it remains."
[ 2014.06.23 07:26:01 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods, "I wish I had that kind of luxury."
[ 2014.06.23 07:26:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > When you... function in space without lasers, it's all about trust and relationships *faintly*
[ 2014.06.23 07:27:29 ] Shalee Lianne > I envy you.
[ 2014.06.23 07:27:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Don't.  When I am wrong,... it's a disaster.
[ 2014.06.23 07:28:46 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote chuckles, "Well, with me, it's always a disaster in the end." She shrugs. "I think I've become jaded." She snaps her finger, calling the hound over. "I need to take him out. So, you take care ok."
[ 2014.06.23 07:29:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles faintly and hesitantly offers Shalee a hug if she will take it "You too."
[ 2014.06.23 07:29:41 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote gives her a loose hug.
[ 2014.06.23 07:29:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns and makes her way to the guest quarters.


**** A FEW DAYS LATER***
Location: Huola, Planet SevenSetting: A palatial manor house situated at the top of a cliff, with spectacular views across the ocean. At the foot of the coastal path, a beautiful bay with white sandy beach allows Manor regulars, and their guests, a private and serene location to take a dip in the warm water.The house, surrounded by acres of lush gardens and tropical palm-trees, boasts a terrace bar lit by torches; flickering with naked flame. ((image here))From the landing pad, visitors are escorted to the terrace after having their weapons confiscated by the privately employed security detail.

[ 2014.06.28 00:57:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters from the shuttlepad looking tired and still wearing a medical visitor's band on her wrist
[ 2014.06.28 00:57:25 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote waves from the bar
[ 2014.06.28 00:57:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote makes her way to the bar and orders a very stiff drink.
[ 2014.06.28 00:58:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote crosses the terrace from his suite and heads towards the bar. "Good evening, Luna"
[ 2014.06.28 00:58:28 ] Vlad Cetes > hello Luna
[ 2014.06.28 00:58:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Vlad and Tigerfish.
[ 2014.06.28 00:59:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "What brings you here this evening?"
[ 2014.06.28 00:59:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I've been at Cerra all week.
[ 2014.06.28 00:59:26 ] Vlad Cetes > why have you been at Cerra all week?
[ 2014.06.28 00:59:28 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Really? I wasn't aware of that"
[ 2014.06.28 00:59:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Catching up with Maria.. and some other things.
[ 2014.06.28 01:00:17 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles and slips down into a chair near the bar. "How is she? I've not had a chance to speak with her yet"
[ 2014.06.28 01:00:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Tiger a glance "She is stationside undergoing medical supervision"
[ 2014.06.28 01:01:17 ] Vlad Cetes > /emote drains his glass> damn
[ 2014.06.28 01:01:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her glass of hard liquor on the rocks tiredly.
[ 2014.06.28 01:01:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Medical supervision? Perhaps I should visit her. I was always quite fond of young Maria"
[ 2014.06.28 01:02:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I think she needs her rest Tiger."
[ 2014.06.28 01:02:38 ] Vlad Cetes > what happened to Maria?
[ 2014.06.28 01:02:45 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "As you wish, Luna"
[ 2014.06.28 01:03:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Vlad "Some silly nonsense about nanites.  I told her to get tested to clear her mind."
[ 2014.06.28 01:05:59 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Luna, would you mind joining me for a quick walk around the grounds?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:07:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *if you want to
[ 2014.06.28 01:08:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote gets up from his chair and gestures towards the path leading towards the gardens. "After you"
[ 2014.06.28 01:08:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Tiger with her blue eyes "After you is fine with me."
[ 2014.06.28 01:09:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles, bows his head slightly and leads on towards the garden.
[ 2014.06.28 01:09:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rises and follows, still carrying her glass.

**gardens**
[ 2014.06.28 01:12:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote leads Luna through the elaborate flowerbeds, following the path towards a bench he sometimes sits on (to reflect on things when he wants some privacy). "Luna, do you fear me?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:13:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Why would you ask that?
[ 2014.06.28 01:14:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the flowerbeds.
[ 2014.06.28 01:14:32 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Simply curious as to why you insisted I lead the way, instead of following after you. I may be something of an old, bloodthirsty relic, but I have manners"
[ 2014.06.28 01:15:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > How odd.   I wouldn't think that would be the first thing that would leap into a man's mind.
[ 2014.06.28 01:15:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote kneels down absentmindly to pull a stray weed intruding on the path.
[ 2014.06.28 01:16:06 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote stands beside the bench, gesturing her to sit before him. "What should be the first thing to leap into a man's mind?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:16:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stands up and glances at Tiger "Certainly not that a woman fears him."
[ 2014.06.28 01:17:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes seat on the bench and looks up at Tiger, her long hair falling over her shoulders down her back.
[ 2014.06.28 01:18:03 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head again and sits down beside her. "So how is Maria?" he asks, attempting to make small-talk. "I haven't heard anything about her in the last week"
[ 2014.06.28 01:18:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I came to Cerra because I was receiving disturbing mails from her and wanted to speak to her first hand.
[ 2014.06.28 01:18:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > We spoke about this Tiger.
[ 2014.06.28 01:18:58 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I recall that - that was a week ago. I'm assuming you found something out about her?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:19:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns "Anways, I did. and She has been worried about nanites from TSF when they flew in a few fleets with her."
[ 2014.06.28 01:19:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Silly nonsense, but to put her mind at ease I insisted she have a full medical exam."
[ 2014.06.28 01:19:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Excellent. That's probably for the best"
[ 2014.06.28 01:20:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Perhaps.
[ 2014.06.28 01:20:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She refuses to see clergy or a psychologist.
[ 2014.06.28 01:20:47 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Why wou;d she refuse? That doesnt make much sense"
[ 2014.06.28 01:20:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She insists she has no need for it.
[ 2014.06.28 01:21:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Perhaps she's right, but naturally I'd certainly air to the side of caution"
[ 2014.06.28 01:22:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I cannot force her Tiger.
[ 2014.06.28 01:22:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Of course not"
[ 2014.06.28 01:22:45 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote sighs and leans back on the bench, looking up at the evening sky.
[ 2014.06.28 01:22:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I was surprised to not see you at the Marnor this week.
[ 2014.06.28 01:22:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Traveling?
[ 2014.06.28 01:23:50 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "My patrols keep me busy on the opposite shift rotation to Shalee and the rest of the Manors occupants. If you'd been around earlier in the day, you may have caught me between shifts"
[ 2014.06.28 01:24:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says neutrally "I see".
[ 2014.06.28 01:25:20 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "It gets a little lonely at times - that's why I'm not normally available until Friday and Saturday evenings"
[ 2014.06.28 01:25:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I guess you are flying with Pyre more I hope?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:26:06 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Occasionally, but still not as often as I'd like. It's a funny beast, this warzone of ours. It swings one way, then another. It'll never truly end, and to think it will, foolish"
[ 2014.06.28 01:26:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gazes at the garden while she gives a slight nod.
[ 2014.06.28 01:27:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote asks offhandedly "Did you ever find out why Shalee was acting odd at the Noir?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:28:02 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote pauses, just enjoying the quiet, peaceful surroundings of the garden. "I did, yes. That was why I mailed you, asking to meet with you"
[ 2014.06.28 01:28:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I see.  I ddn't realize."
[ 2014.06.28 01:29:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You didn't realise what?" he asks, tilting his head to look at her.
[ 2014.06.28 01:29:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > why you wanted to take a walk.
[ 2014.06.28 01:30:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You're disappointed? I mean, disappointed that'd the reason I asked you to join me?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:30:35 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > that's**
[ 2014.06.28 01:30:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote returns Tiger's look "you said that, not me."
[ 2014.06.28 01:30:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Why would you think that?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:31:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Tiger a puzzled look.
[ 2014.06.28 01:32:02 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shrugs his shoulders lightly. "Just curious, I guess" he pauses. "The truth is, I wanted to talk with you, but could have done that anywhere. I thought you'd enjoy the gardens, knowing you as I do"
[ 2014.06.28 01:32:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's lips quirk into a faint smile "that is true"
[ 2014.06.28 01:33:00 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles, then glances around the gardens for a moment. "They really are something, are they now?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:33:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > not**
[ 2014.06.28 01:34:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes they are. I wonder who laid them out."
[ 2014.06.28 01:34:58 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You'd need to ask Shalee about that. I'm sure she knows - afterall, she must still get them maintained on occasion"
[ 2014.06.28 01:35:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "With this level of lushness? Far more than on occasion."
[ 2014.06.28 01:36:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote crosses her legs and leans back "so what did you want to discuss?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:36:16 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote grins. "I don't pretend to know what goes into tending a garden. I never had a green finger; well, not like this. It was always ship warfare, tactics, fleet comps. I have a tactical mind, but not one of nature"
[ 2014.06.28 01:36:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly at Tiger,
[ 2014.06.28 01:36:45 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Ahhh yes" he says wit ha smile, turning to look at her. "I guess I wanted to apologise to you"
[ 2014.06.28 01:37:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks confused "For what?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:37:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Last weekend. I felt the un-easyness, so I'm damned sure you did"
[ 2014.06.28 01:37:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I did, yes."
[ 2014.06.28 01:38:05 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "And for that, I'm sorry. I spoke with Shalee about it afterwards, and I can see it was my fault"
[ 2014.06.28 01:38:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "How so?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:38:58 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Shalee was disappointed that I hadn't planned something special for the pair of us. She was then more upset when I invited you and Kat - no offense of course. I just thought that she'd enjoy socialising with a group of friends...
[ 2014.06.28 01:39:14 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > ... when instead, she wanted something more intimate between us"
[ 2014.06.28 01:39:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well there's no need to apoligize to me, it seems that Shalee is the one you should apoligize to."
[ 2014.06.28 01:40:43 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I already did, and we had an incredible night that night. But I still felt somewhat guilty for putting you and Kat in a position to feel that uncomfortable"
[ 2014.06.28 01:41:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs noncommittally.
[ 2014.06.28 01:41:51 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote offers her a warm smile. "So we're good?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:42:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gazes at Tigerfish "Why would you think we aren't now?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:43:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Well I felt guilty. It's been weighing on me for a week now, but I didn't want to simply apologise by mail. That would have been so impersonal"
[ 2014.06.28 01:43:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. there was nothing to apologize for.  I do appreciate that you felt you had to do it in person."
[ 2014.06.28 01:44:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I will be at the Manor for one more day.. there is another issue I needed to discuss with Shalee."
[ 2014.06.28 01:44:35 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Anything I can help with?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:44:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I would like to enlist Imperial Outlaws as an ally in a war I am funding."
[ 2014.06.28 01:45:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Perhaps you can tell me how you feel she would react. to the proposal."
[ 2014.06.28 01:45:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "A war? You're full of surprises, Luna. Against whom?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:46:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > An apostate, heretic and foul Sani Sabik who has admitted to killing millions on the IGS, of every station and kind.
[ 2014.06.28 01:46:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glowers slightly.
[ 2014.06.28 01:46:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "He acts like it's some kind of sadistic gameshow."
[ 2014.06.28 01:47:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.28 01:47:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns for a moment, wondering who she's talking about - somewhat concerned for he's been described in a similar way in the past
[ 2014.06.28 01:47:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Who is he?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:47:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote spits out the syllables as if they poison her mouth as she says it "Nauplius."
[ 2014.06.28 01:48:34 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Nauplius? I've never heard of him" he says with another shrug.
[ 2014.06.28 01:49:26 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I like it" he says softly. "that you're so driven in your goals. I find it refreshing"
[ 2014.06.28 01:50:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "A mercenary corporation has been engaged. We are trying to bring PIE in to obtain round the clock coverage as they will know this time they aren't the only ones trying..."
[ 2014.06.28 01:50:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'd lke to add Imperial Outlaws.. besides.."
[ 2014.06.28 01:50:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says with a sigh "I think Maria will need a specific Sani Sabik to focus her current venom on... and she can't do it without a war dec against a 24th Imperial Crusade member"
[ 2014.06.28 01:51:26 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote chews on his lower lip thoughtfully. "This target of yours. Is it based in low sec, high sec or null? Wait! He's 24th?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:51:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Nominally.  PIE still war'decced him due to his crimes."
[ 2014.06.28 01:52:57 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I guess Shalee may be interested in assisting. You'd certainly acquire her support, I have no doubt, but I'm not sure what help our forces would be against a specific target. We're not used to finding and killing individuals"
[ 2014.06.28 01:53:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "This corp isn't like me"
[ 2014.06.28 01:53:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Frankly, for Imperial Outlaws, I am hoping they will view him as a target of opportunity only.  maria will be the one with the focus."
[ 2014.06.28 01:53:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote mutters "she needs that... soon."
[ 2014.06.28 01:53:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I will pay the war dec fee.
[ 2014.06.28 01:54:23 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Hmmmm. I see. You can always ask her, of course. If you get her on a good day, she's more agreeable to such ventures"
[ 2014.06.28 01:55:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Although I know it is her call, Pyre and some members of Esoteric Philosophy have indicated that'd happily participate.
[ 2014.06.28 01:55:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles faintly for the second time of the night.
[ 2014.06.28 01:56:06 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "As would I, Luna" he says with a smile as he leans back on the bench, looking up at the sky again.
[ 2014.06.28 01:57:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns as her datapad chimes "I have an unusual.... haul tonight but I will be back to Cerra."
[ 2014.06.28 01:57:45 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods. "You're leaving me?"
[ 2014.06.28 01:57:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger as if pondering whether to ask something.
[ 2014.06.28 01:57:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a slight smirk.
[ 2014.06.28 01:58:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I suspect you aren't too popular in Matari space? I have an  insertion PIE asked me to do."
[ 2014.06.28 01:59:04 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I'm not very popular anywhere, truth be told. Left my Caldari breathren, un-trusted by Amarrians, loathed by Gallente, hunted by Matari"
[ 2014.06.28 01:59:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well assuming you feel you won't pull customs down on us like flies to Honey...
[ 2014.06.28 01:59:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am traveling from Huola to Pator.
[ 2014.06.28 02:00:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "and how I can I assist with this insertion?"
[ 2014.06.28 02:02:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs "cover me from any aggression if you chose and were able.  I do have a cloak and mwd however."
[ 2014.06.28 02:03:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'll be fine if you have other plans."
[ 2014.06.28 02:03:43 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote pulls his datapad from his breast pocket and slides his thumb across it. "As I feared; my security status would make it near impossible to move in high sec Matari space. I can do anything you desire in low, however"
[ 2014.06.28 02:04:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "I will send a signal then if I run  into difficulty transitting low.  No need to escort unless that occurs."
[ 2014.06.28 02:04:44 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "No, I'm happy to escort you through low sec, Luna. What are friends for, eh?"
[ 2014.06.28 02:05:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles. "I have to go to Sassieko for the pick up. He says he will be ready in an hour.  if you are flight ready, I'll signal you."
[ 2014.06.28 02:06:08 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Of course. I'll be on standby with an interceptor to scout you. Unless you'd rather I provide a little more muscle?"
[ 2014.06.28 02:06:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Interceptor would be best.
[ 2014.06.28 02:06:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am concerned about gate camps from Sassiekko to Minnie High Sec.
[ 2014.06.28 02:07:07 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Well, I can watch the gate and cover you to the outbound system gate"
[ 2014.06.28 02:07:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Which system will you enter low sec at?"
[ 2014.06.28 02:08:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Sassieko/Sosola I believe.  Working route out now
[ 2014.06.28 02:08:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stands and stretches "I'll work the route out on my way there and confirm that?"
[ 2014.06.28 02:09:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote rises to his feet. "Oh, and Luna....  If I scout you in, it'll cost you"
[ 2014.06.28 02:09:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote raises an eyebrow. "It will?"
[ 2014.06.28 02:10:28 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "That dance I never got to have last weekend"
[ 2014.06.28 02:11:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Tiger a long gaze before responding.
[ 2014.06.28 02:12:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote replies "As you wish.
[ 2014.06.28 02:12:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.28 02:13:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head, offering her a parting smile. "I'll be ready when you are"
[ 2014.06.28 02:13:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns sharply up the path hurrying to the shuttle pad.
[ 2014.06.28 02:14:00 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote heads back to his suite to grab his combat jacket and flight bag

**a run in space**

** then back to the Terrace**
[ 2014.06.28 03:44:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote returns in her flight suit looking worn and still covered with pod goo in her hair.
[ 2014.06.28 03:45:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters the guest house to take a shower and freshen up.
[ 2014.06.28 03:46:17 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote had already returned back, gone to his quarters, freshened up, and is relaxing with a glass of wine

***PROLOGUE - PART II - A TENSE MEAL ***

Channel MOTD: A surprisingly comfortable space in the Emperor Family Station in the Amarr system.The walls are paneled with dark wood. Periodically there are cross-hatched sections that serve to store wine bottles horizontally. The temperature is cool. There are multiple tables and booths with sumptious velvet red cushions. Stained glass lanterns and lights providing soft lighting. Each table has a wine & beverage list with a range of wines, ales, liquors and non-alcoholic drinks such as tea. A simple menu is also on each table that indicates that complimentary bread and assorted cheeses and fruits are provided to those who order by the bottle. Along one wall is a suit of golden armor with ceremonial sword and a tabard for the theology counsel that is cut for a femine figure along with a Picture. A square parquet dance floor is in the center of the room. The proprietor Vincentus Azizora and attentive wait staff are all baseliners.
[ 2014.07.12 04:41:27 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote polishes the bar.
[ 2014.07.12 04:42:40 ] Brent Anderson > *Enters the grape leaving two heavily armed and armored station security personel standing with the bouncers by the door and takes a seat in a empty booth and orders a fine meal and selections of wine*
[ 2014.07.12 04:43:31 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote glances suspiciously at Brent, remembering the last time he visited.
[ 2014.07.12 04:43:37 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote sips her wine.
[ 2014.07.12 04:43:56 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks bored.
[ 2014.07.12 04:44:14 ] Vincentus Azizora > Hello Lord Anderson, can I help you?
[ 2014.07.12 04:46:11 ] Brent Anderson > Yes please a fine meal i've been "quarintined" to my vessel by the stations security due to past events that I have had little control over.....I have been given a "Pass" for the night and I really REALLY could do with some real food.
[ 2014.07.12 04:46:59 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote grunts and says "We have a bar menu here. But the wine is fine. Just let our new server and wine expert, Ms. Black assist your needs."
[ 2014.07.12 04:47:29 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote gives a meaningful glance to Charity and makes his way back to the bar, polishing it.
[ 2014.07.12 04:48:51 ] Brent Anderson > Ah excellent!... *peruses the Menu with a greedy eye*
[ 2014.07.12 04:49:44 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote pulls out her datapad and begins to play a game on it.
[ 2014.07.12 04:49:49 ] Charity Black > /emote enters quietly from the back, wearing black slacks and a red shirt with a gold neck tab. She bows "My lord."
[ 2014.07.12 04:52:21 ] Brent Anderson > "Ah Hello...and Brent Please...I'm kinda milorded Out with dealing with Security officals and such the past weeks.....But could I please have this fried cheese sticks with dipping sauces to start and a nice sweet red wine while I look further."
[ 2014.07.12 04:54:56 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote glances at Charity Black and then looks at her empty wine glass "yo wench! I need some more wine."
[ 2014.07.12 04:56:11 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote watches Charity, but not obviously so.
[ 2014.07.12 04:58:03 ] Charity Black > "Sir, if I may, if you are having the fried cheese, I would reccomend a white wine to pair. A Mekhiosian Riesling,"
[ 2014.07.12 05:00:15 ] Brent Anderson > "hmm....yes that would be a better combo it has a nice flavor to it....I glady accept your recommendation also If the impatient lady would permit I will buy her a bottle of wine for her lesiure and perhaps a bit of improved manners."
[ 2014.07.12 05:01:15 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks at Charity with a sulky look but isn't close enough to hear Brent.
[ 2014.07.12 05:03:41 ] Charity Black > "I will convey your offer to her, my lord. Would you like a young wine, or something aged?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:05:01 ] Brent Anderson > "I will bow to your experince with wines as to which would be better"
[ 2014.07.12 05:05:37 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote drums her fingers on the table "Hello?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:06:10 ] Charity Black > "If you're new to Mekhiosian Rieslings, my lord, I would reccomend something youthful. A 113 vintage."
[ 2014.07.12 05:06:45 ] Brent Anderson > "Please Miss Maria she shall help you and I will pay the tab if you will permit me a fine meal?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:07:20 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote glances at Brent "You don't need to ask my permission for anything."
[ 2014.07.12 05:07:23 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote rolls her eyes.
[ 2014.07.12 05:07:59 ] Brent Anderson > "Oh so you will happily join me at my meal for company?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:08:26 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote straightens up slightly and peers suspisciously at Brent "Why do you want my company?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:09:13 ] Charity Black > /emote waits patiently for the two to finish
[ 2014.07.12 05:10:06 ] Brent Anderson > "because I have been stuck aboard my ship for the past three weeks with only holographic entertainments to watch and interact with. Company would be most welcome"
[ 2014.07.12 05:10:25 ] Maria Daphiti > "Okies.. if you say so"
[ 2014.07.12 05:10:37 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote gets up and walks over to Brent's table, carrying her empty wine glass.
[ 2014.07.12 05:11:56 ] Brent Anderson > *stands and pulls out a chair for Maria*
[ 2014.07.12 05:12:57 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote glances at Brent and takes a seat, then looks expectantly at Charity.
[ 2014.07.12 05:13:17 ] Charity Black > /emote is slightly mortified that Brent did that. She had started to move to pull out the chair, but stopped when Brent did.
[ 2014.07.12 05:15:25 ] Brent Anderson > *Smiles at Charity* "Miss black if you could please bring the Cheese plate your selected wine for me and Miss Daphiti Bottle of wine I will be most pleased"
[ 2014.07.12 05:16:34 ] Charity Black > "Madame, Lord Anderson has offered to buy you a bottle of wine. What can I bring you?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:16:45 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote says sulkily "Something sweet."
[ 2014.07.12 05:17:51 ] Charity Black > "Lord Anderson is going to be having a young Mekhiosian Riesling, would you care to share the bottle with him." she smiles to Brent "We have plenty of bottles, my lord, and won't run out."
[ 2014.07.12 05:18:24 ] Brent Anderson > "I am Agreeable to that"
[ 2014.07.12 05:18:25 ] Maria Daphiti > "Fine."
[ 2014.07.12 05:19:41 ] Brent Anderson > "So Miss Daphiti what adventures have graced your life of late?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:20:05 ] Charity Black > /emote bows again "I'll put the order in and have your wine right out." she departs
[ 2014.07.12 05:20:18 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks levelly at Brent "I dunno."
[ 2014.07.12 05:20:36 ] Maria Daphiti > "What do you think?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:22:04 ] Brent Anderson > "hmm....Pitched battles in space......Blockade running needed supplies to troops loyal to the empire.. Many a holder lord finding his hopes dashed at winning a place in your heart?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:23:04 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote giggles involuntarily "well... the pitched battles you got right."
[ 2014.07.12 05:23:34 ] Maria Daphiti > "I am resting from Huola. Ran out of ships..."
[ 2014.07.12 05:23:40 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote gives a slight pout.
[ 2014.07.12 05:24:17 ] Brent Anderson > "Ouch.....I heard about that.....Have you replaced your ships?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:24:27 ] Maria Daphiti > Still waiting for Mother.
[ 2014.07.12 05:24:34 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote says that with exasperation.
[ 2014.07.12 05:26:30 ] Brent Anderson > Hmm...I have a Old Cormorant hull in deep storage if you really need a ship in the destroyer class
[ 2014.07.12 05:28:56 ] Brent Anderson > or if you like I have 107 Inquistor Frigates in inventory aboard Packmule Omega
[ 2014.07.12 05:31:06 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote wrinkles her nose. "Thanks but I will pass."
[ 2014.07.12 05:32:05 ] Brent Anderson > "And sadly the once useful and profitable Inquistor Frigate remains a hanger queen."
[ 2014.07.12 05:32:38 ] Maria Daphiti > More like Jester.
[ 2014.07.12 05:33:08 ] Brent Anderson > Yes they are a bit of a joke now arent they.
[ 2014.07.12 05:33:42 ] Maria Daphiti > I've never seen one used.
[ 2014.07.12 05:34:40 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote walks in, looking tired, just in time to hear the Inquisitor comments, and sits down, "You guys are aware that inquisitors are the mainstay of many frigate fleets now right?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:34:43 ] Charity Black > /emote selects two wine glasses, carefully looking them over to make sure they are spotless and polished. She places them on the table cloth topped trolley along with a bucked of ice and the chilled wine. She drapes the serving cloth over her left fore...
[ 2014.07.12 05:35:20 ] Maria Daphiti > Not with Imperial Outlaws, Kat.
[ 2014.07.12 05:35:30 ] Maria Daphiti > I've never seen you guys ask me to fly one.. like.. ever!
[ 2014.07.12 05:36:02 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs, then slides her neocomm across the table, showing two kill mails, Kill: Katerina Tzestu (Inquisitor) Kill: Katerina Tzestu (Inquisitor)
[ 2014.07.12 05:36:14 ] Maria Daphiti > Have a seat with us? *blushes slightly*
[ 2014.07.12 05:36:20 ] Charity Black > forearm and adds the plate of fried cheese with two different ramekins of different sauces. Satisfied that everything is there, she rolls the trolley over to the table,
[ 2014.07.12 05:36:42 ] Katerina Tzestu > If you don't mind, I just got off shift.
[ 2014.07.12 05:36:52 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote smiles at Kat. "Not at all!"
[ 2014.07.12 05:37:15 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote turns to Brent, "I'm sorry I don't believe we have met?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:37:29 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks a little relieved .
[ 2014.07.12 05:37:30 ] Brent Anderson > *snorts* well if you want I have a few you can fly as test cases..And who would I be to deny a lovely lady to join us.
[ 2014.07.12 05:38:30 ] Brent Anderson > *Stands and give a little bow to Katerina* "Brent Anderson, Brent please. Trader/privateer for the empire."
[ 2014.07.12 05:39:04 ] Charity Black > /emote gets to the table and waits just a moment for them to finish the introductions
[ 2014.07.12 05:39:24 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "A pleasure. But please call me Kat. And if you have inquisitor hulls you're not using, I'm sure our alliance wouldn't mind getting our hands on them."
[ 2014.07.12 05:41:08 ] Brent Anderson > I have 107 stored aboard my Freighter..I have been trying to sell them for years....and still they sit if your alliance fights for the empire I will gladly donate for the cause"
[ 2014.07.12 05:42:04 ] Maria Daphiti > Oh gosh we do, don't we kat?
[ 2014.07.12 05:42:49 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "Yes, we do."
[ 2014.07.12 05:42:58 ] Charity Black > /emote debates putting the bottle of wine in the bucket of ice so it doesn't warm too much while they talk
[ 2014.07.12 05:44:21 ] Brent Anderson > *pauses at the smell of the cheese* "Oh please Miss Black serve us and could I trouble you for another Wine glass for Kat please."
[ 2014.07.12 05:45:44 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote follows Brents gaze, "Oh hello, didn't see you there, Miss..Black?"
[ 2014.07.12 05:48:06 ] Charity Black > /emote does a small bow "Of course, my lord." She places the wine in the ice bucket and heads back to the bar, selecting another glass and placing it on a tray before carrying the tray back to the trolley.
[ 2014.07.12 05:49:12 ] Brent Anderson > *Closes his eyes for a moment and seems to ponder something in the mind* 'There Contract completed and sent"
[ 2014.07.12 05:49:20 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote fidgets slightly.
[ 2014.07.12 05:49:55 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote looks at her neocomm, then back at Brent, "You're absolutely sure you don't want ISK? That's like 10 million in hulls, and we'd be glad to pay."
[ 2014.07.12 05:50:05 ] Charity Black > /emote pulls the bottle out of ice bucket and uses the serving towel on her arm to keep it from dripping. She displays the bottle to Brent.
[ 2014.07.12 05:51:40 ] Brent Anderson > "Ah excellent Please serve it my dear. As for the hulls it is a small matter.....they are yours if you wish to pay I will not say no but I do not require payment for them."
[ 2014.07.12 05:52:43 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "Well I'll mention it to our leadership, and let them decide, but in either case, thank you."
[ 2014.07.12 05:53:06 ] Brent Anderson > "I can always manufacture more of them"
[ 2014.07.12 05:53:23 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote stares intently at the bottle, then at Brent.
[ 2014.07.12 05:54:01 ] Brent Anderson > "Oh Please serve the ladies first Miss Black"
[ 2014.07.12 05:54:04 ] Charity Black > /emote pulls the small wine tool out of her pocket and cuts the foil. She uses the inside of the towel to wipe the mouth of the bottle before twisting the cork screw into the cork and pulling it out with a small pop. She wipes the mouth of the bottle
[ 2014.07.12 05:55:13 ] Charity Black > again. "Of course, my lord." She pours a small amount into a glass and places it before Brent and waits
[ 2014.07.12 05:56:49 ] Brent Anderson > *Picks up the glass and sniffs the wine and then takes a sip and nods approvingly.* Very good
[ 2014.07.12 05:58:05 ] Charity Black > /emote nods her head. "Excellent." she pours Kat's glass and then Maria's and finishes by pouring Brent's. She places the bottle back into the ice bucket and then the bucket on the table
[ 2014.07.12 06:01:13 ] Charity Black > "I will return shortly for a good order." She wheels the trolley away
[ 2014.07.12 06:01:24 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote sips her wine. greedily
[ 2014.07.12 06:04:16 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote whispers almost inaudibly to Kat "Have you heard about this guy? He keeps getting kidnapped or shot at. My mom told me not to be alone with him:
[ 2014.07.12 06:04:40 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks back up and sips her wine some more "Very nice wine, Sir" she says politely.
[ 2014.07.12 06:05:50 ] Brent Anderson > "Thank you...and I will also do my utmost to keep any Kiddnapping or assassination attempts at me focused on me." *Smiles at Maria*
[ 2014.07.12 06:06:08 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote twitches uncomfortably, noticing he heard her anyway.
[ 2014.07.12 06:06:43 ] Maria Daphiti > "What was that all about anyway?"
[ 2014.07.12 06:07:16 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs at Maria's discomfort, unable to help herself.
[ 2014.07.12 06:07:33 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote takes a sip of the wine then nods in approval.
[ 2014.07.12 06:07:46 ] Brent Anderson > *taps a lump under his ear* Cyberenhanced hearing. As to what it was all about that is still being worked on by Security *points at the two station securty by the bouncers"
[ 2014.07.12 06:08:13 ] Maria Daphiti > Not what I meant... *sulkily*
[ 2014.07.12 06:09:07 ] Brent Anderson > "But the Kidnapping was a attempt to remove a large portion of my wealth to the coffers of a Unnamed party...the three kidnappers are all dead from implanted explovises"
[ 2014.07.12 06:09:25 ] Maria Daphiti > 'Okies'
[ 2014.07.12 06:10:55 ] Brent Anderson > The other two assassination attempts were more Interesting... The Cloaking Dust Soilder was quite the fun scrum.. My left arm still aches from it
[ 2014.07.12 06:11:07 ] Vincentus Azizora > Yeppers, Mom mentioned that one.
[ 2014.07.12 06:11:25 ] Maria Daphiti > Yeppers, Mom mentioned that one.
[ 2014.07.12 06:11:53 ] Brent Anderson > *Blinks* who is your mother If I may ask?
[ 2014.07.12 06:12:41 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote says sulkly "Lunarisse Aspenstar Daphiti"
[ 2014.07.12 06:13:06 ] Maria Daphiti > You got attempted assasinated a second time?
[ 2014.07.12 06:13:13 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote peers at Brent.
[ 2014.07.12 06:13:29 ] Brent Anderson > Ah. yes I must really thank your mother for saving my life that night if she hadn't tossed me to the floor I would have had a new hole in me..
[ 2014.07.12 06:14:37 ] Brent Anderson > yes a second attempt was made......It was rather messy....
[ 2014.07.12 06:14:56 ] Vincentus Azizora > Huh? *questioning tone*
[ 2014.07.12 06:14:59 ] Charity Black > /emote returns. She does a quick check to see if she needs to top off glasses of wine, but will ask first
[ 2014.07.12 06:15:06 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote is listening from the bar very closely now.
[ 2014.07.12 06:15:21 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote makes his way over and leans against a wne case.
[ 2014.07.12 06:15:29 ] Maria Daphiti > Seriously?
[ 2014.07.12 06:15:52 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote glances at Charity "I need more wine."
[ 2014.07.12 06:17:26 ] Brent Anderson > I was tired of prepackaged meals so I ordered some take out....so to speak my crew let the young boy aboard and he came to my cabin to deliver the meal....and then he showed he was a very well concealed assassin in a young boys clone body.....
[ 2014.07.12 06:17:30 ] Charity Black > /emote refills Maria's glass, making sure to use her serving towel so it doesn't drip
[ 2014.07.12 06:18:38 ] Maria Daphiti > I am sorry Mr. Anderson. But Normal Holders don't have this problem.
[ 2014.07.12 06:19:00 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote watches Charity closely with an unemotional face.
[ 2014.07.12 06:19:57 ] Brent Anderson > The annoying thing is that he passed my ships security scans and was weaponless....but upon entering my cabin he was able to open my weapons locker At his touch......and yes the clone tissue was mine with altered facial features.....
[ 2014.07.12 06:20:14 ] Katerina Tzestu > How interesting...
[ 2014.07.12 06:20:16 ] Maria Daphiti > OMG, Really?
[ 2014.07.12 06:20:50 ] Brent Anderson > And I'm not sure how regular holder live but it could be complement that i live in interesting life.
[ 2014.07.12 06:21:25 ] Charity Black > /emote waits for a pause in the conversation before asking if anyone would care to order any food.
[ 2014.07.12 06:22:31 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote looks up, "Actually, yes. Do you have a menu?"
[ 2014.07.12 06:22:40 ] Maria Daphiti > If you say so *doubtfully to Brent*
[ 2014.07.12 06:22:57 ] Brent Anderson > *glances at Charity* "Oh yes I shall have.....a steak medium rare with mashed tubers and some buttered rolls please"
[ 2014.07.12 06:24:15 ] Katerina Tzestu > That actually doesn't sound bad, after today. Could you get me a steak medium, please?
[ 2014.07.12 06:24:40 ] Charity Black > /emote paues. Menus. That would be a start. "I think. Let me check, ma'am." She looks uncomfortable "I will have to see if we have steak. One moment." she makes her way over to Vincentus
[ 2014.07.12 06:24:42 ] Maria Daphiti > I like mine bloody *sulkily*
[ 2014.07.12 06:25:53 ] Brent Anderson > "what is most annoying is the lack of who and why I am being attacked....I haven't slept with anyones wife or anything like that. However the attackers seem to have a very powerful access to various means to kill or discredit me.
[ 2014.07.12 06:26:53 ] Maria Daphiti > You sure you aren't trying to escape some cult and they aren't trying to stop you? *impertinently*
[ 2014.07.12 06:27:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote pushes open the door and wanders into the Grape, nodding at the various people he knows; Maria, Kat, Charity. "Evening all"
[ 2014.07.12 06:27:21 ] Brent Anderson > There is no info from any of the kidnappers save they where once slaves as for the assassins they are both able to hop clone bodies and such."
[ 2014.07.12 06:27:35 ] Charity Black > /emote asks Vincentus if they have menus or steak
[ 2014.07.12 06:27:41 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks at Tiger and her hands tighten on her glass and her face remains sulky "Hi."
[ 2014.07.12 06:27:57 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote nods at Charity, we have both.
[ 2014.07.12 06:28:40 ] Charity Black > /emote nods and gathers the menus and goes back to the table. She places one by each of them
[ 2014.07.12 06:28:41 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote waves at Tiger then looks back at Brent and Maria, noting Maria's response. "That would seem to me to indicate that it is either a powerful criminal enterprise, or the enemy."
[ 2014.07.12 06:28:54 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles and nods her thanks and Charity.
[ 2014.07.12 06:28:58 ] Brent Anderson > *Looks at Maria with a shocked look on his face as he ponders her comment* "You may have a clue there something I never thought of."
[ 2014.07.12 06:29:25 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote raises his eyebrows but remains off to the side.
[ 2014.07.12 06:29:33 ] Maria Daphiti > Huh, really?
[ 2014.07.12 06:29:51 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote goes to get himself a drink - a bottle of wine and a crystal glass - as he turns around, 'people watching' everyone in the bar.
[ 2014.07.12 06:30:00 ] Charity Black > "We do have steak, my lord, ma'am."
[ 2014.07.12 06:31:38 ] Brent Anderson > I am not trying to escape a cult....or something like that.....But about 4 months ago I and my Battleship cleaned out a Blood raider base and freed many of the clone sacrifices they used.....most are still on my Freighter.....in my employ"
[ 2014.07.12 06:32:15 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote straightens up "you saved some of them?"
[ 2014.07.12 06:32:45 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles at Charity, "Then if you please, medium for me, and medium rare for Lord Anderson, with mashed tubers and rolls."
[ 2014.07.12 06:32:48 ] Brent Anderson > "Excellent Miss Black I shall have it as described before please"
[ 2014.07.12 06:33:21 ] Charity Black > "Of course. Would you care for a different wine with the main course?"
[ 2014.07.12 06:33:28 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote moves casually over towards Kat. "Seems a rather deep topic of conversation for so late at night"
[ 2014.07.12 06:34:06 ] Brent Anderson > "As far as I know we saved nearly 250+ clone sacrifices from the station.....before I reduced it to wreckage"
[ 2014.07.12 06:34:38 ] Maria Daphiti > Clone sacrifes?
[ 2014.07.12 06:34:47 ] Maria Daphiti > What do you mean? Or were any normal peple?
[ 2014.07.12 06:35:00 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote indicates a chair, "Join us Tiger, assuming everyone is okay with that." She turns to Maria, "Blooders regard clone blood as the purest."
[ 2014.07.12 06:35:28 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote hovers a moment longer. "May I?" he looks at Maria and Brent.
[ 2014.07.12 06:35:40 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote says tersely "I see" and to Brent "So no baseliners were in that batch?"
[ 2014.07.12 06:35:56 ] Brent Anderson > Blood Raiders ritually kill clones in mass quanities....*pauses and looks to kat* But I've never heard of them killing baseliners........
[ 2014.07.12 06:36:02 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote shrugs at Tiger "if you wish"
[ 2014.07.12 06:36:12 ] Maria Daphiti > blood raiders used to do that.. before capsuleers.
[ 2014.07.12 06:36:12 ] Charity Black > /emote had anticipated Tiger and places a menu before him
[ 2014.07.12 06:36:39 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns a moment and slides down into the vacant seat, taking the menu from Charity. "Thank you"
[ 2014.07.12 06:36:46 ] Brent Anderson > *looks at tiger* "Why not I am outnumbered at the table with lovely ladies"
[ 2014.07.12 06:37:07 ] Katerina Tzestu > I lived in Delve for a while, They'll kill anyone they can get their hands on.
[ 2014.07.12 06:37:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles, "So I see"
[ 2014.07.12 06:37:13 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs, "You're too kind."
[ 2014.07.12 06:38:32 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote mutters after Kat's Delve remark "Yeppers"
[ 2014.07.12 06:39:22 ] Charity Black > /emote departs
[ 2014.07.12 06:39:48 ] Brent Anderson > *gets a far away look in his eye as he consults his implant*
[ 2014.07.12 06:41:49 ] Maria Daphiti > "Where you've been Tiger?"
[ 2014.07.12 06:42:17 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote turns his attention to Maria. "I've been around. Just on a different schedule to you, I suspect"
[ 2014.07.12 06:42:27 ] Brent Anderson > *His eyes suddenly hardened and a murderous look crosses his face but turns to Maria* "I think you may have just given me the clue I needed to understand who is behind the attacks on me."
[ 2014.07.12 06:42:48 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote blinks and stares at Brent "Really?"
[ 2014.07.12 06:43:00 ] Charity Black > /emote returns with a tray and four plates. She sets a plate down in front of each one and then a basket of buttered yeast rolls
[ 2014.07.12 06:43:05 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote mutters to Tiger "if you say so"
[ 2014.07.12 06:43:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote does a quick double take, looking back at Maria. "Huh?"
[ 2014.07.12 06:44:10 ] Maria Daphiti > "What do you mean, Tiger?"
[ 2014.07.12 06:44:21 ] Brent Anderson > "Yes.....Three of the rescued clones have had full body reconstruction done to them. Someone peeled their skins off them and put a new one on with alterations to the face and such."
[ 2014.07.12 06:44:28 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote stares at her steak for a moment.
[ 2014.07.12 06:44:47 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Are you alright, Maria?" he asks after Brent finishes talking.
[ 2014.07.12 06:44:51 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "Thank you, Miss Black."
[ 2014.07.12 06:44:57 ] Maria Daphiti > "No, I think I've lost my appetite."
[ 2014.07.12 06:45:10 ] Brent Anderson > "Yes Thank you Miss Black."
[ 2014.07.12 06:45:16 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote pushes her bread away from her and looks at Brent "how.. awful.. and disgusting"
[ 2014.07.12 06:45:54 ] Brent Anderson > "Yes I know and incredibly painful too....personal knowledge"
[ 2014.07.12 06:46:47 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote chews on his lower lip thoughtfully, then opens his mouth to say something, but quickly decides against it
[ 2014.07.12 06:47:02 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks like she has indigestion "Every time I think those Blood Raiders are awful, I always learn something worse"
[ 2014.07.12 06:47:18 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "That they are."
[ 2014.07.12 06:47:41 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Horrendous. I could never associate with a Raider"
[ 2014.07.12 06:48:01 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote says sulkily "If you say so."
[ 2014.07.12 06:48:03 ] Brent Anderson > "Oh the blood raiders never skinned me that was my uncle's idea to teach me a lesson"
[ 2014.07.12 06:48:12 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote looks over at Maria, "Letting it get to you doesn't help, you know."
[ 2014.07.12 06:48:19 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks sharply at Brent "Your uncle.. WHAT?!?!?!"
[ 2014.07.12 06:49:45 ] Brent Anderson > *Tilts his head to the side and traces scars along the edge of his face and down the side of his neck* "My Uncle thought my devotion to the faith was lacking and so planned a humiliation to give me a lesson"
[ 2014.07.12 06:51:24 ] Brent Anderson > *Shrugs* "I was stunned skinned and worked as a slave for four years on a holders property who was a old friend of my uncle."
[ 2014.07.12 06:52:34 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks discomfited.
[ 2014.07.12 06:52:42 ] Maria Daphiti > Lord Anderson.. to get back on track..
[ 2014.07.12 06:52:43 ] Maria Daphiti > ummm
[ 2014.07.12 06:52:49 ] Maria Daphiti > who do you think is behind this?
[ 2014.07.12 06:53:45 ] Brent Anderson > *Shrugs again and takes a bite of the bread and eats it* Not sure yet but when I can talk to the three clones...or whoever they are I may have a better idea.. The kiddnapping may have been a attempt to get the clones back and not after me.
[ 2014.07.12 06:54:41 ] Maria Daphiti > Umm.. where are they now?
[ 2014.07.12 06:55:31 ] Maria Daphiti > The clones, even?
[ 2014.07.12 06:56:24 ] Brent Anderson > "right now aboard my ship Packmule Omega...medical bay with 6 hulking security guards guarding them as of 5 minutes ago"
[ 2014.07.12 06:57:08 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote glances at Tiger and Kat.
[ 2014.07.12 06:57:16 ] Maria Daphiti > "So we're safe eating with you??"
[ 2014.07.12 06:57:41 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote looks up from the roll she was busy eating. "I certainly hope so!"
[ 2014.07.12 06:57:48 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote says "Miss Daphiti, I can assure you, the Holy Grape is secure."
[ 2014.07.12 06:59:07 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote finishes his glass of wine and sets it down on the table. "Maria, I would like a word with you when you can next spare me five minutes"
[ 2014.07.12 06:59:57 ] Maria Daphiti > "If you want to."
[ 2014.07.12 07:00:21 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Whenever you can. There's no immediate rush"
[ 2014.07.12 07:00:24 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks at Tiger "Going to have some steak? I ordered mine Bloody?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:01:07 ] Charity Black > /emote comes back "Lord Anderson, would you care for a different vintage with your steak?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:01:08 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shakes his head. "I'm actually not that hungry, and I could never eat mine bloody. I'm a heathen I'm afraid. Needs to be cooked before I'll eat it"
[ 2014.07.12 07:01:49 ] Brent Anderson > "I've only heard of Blood raiders eating meat Bloody and clone meat at that."
[ 2014.07.12 07:02:26 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Indeed, my friend. Let#s be grateful there's none of their sort around here, nay?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:02:51 ] Charity Black > "So, well done, sir?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:03:42 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Medium-well by preference, actually. Honestly, there's nothing finer in life"
[ 2014.07.12 07:03:48 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote stares at Tiger, but doesn't say anything further.
[ 2014.07.12 07:04:55 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks back at Maria, catching her cold, glassy stare.
[ 2014.07.12 07:04:56 ] Charity Black > /emote nods "Of course."
[ 2014.07.12 07:06:16 ] Maria Daphiti > Lord Anderson? Wine?
[ 2014.07.12 07:06:27 ] Brent Anderson > Certainly
[ 2014.07.12 07:06:27 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote gives Brent a peevish look.
[ 2014.07.12 07:06:36 ] Maria Daphiti > The serving wench has been asking you repeatedly.
[ 2014.07.12 07:06:57 ] Charity Black > /emote blanches as being called a wench
[ 2014.07.12 07:07:24 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote chuckles. At least she's not being called a blooder.
[ 2014.07.12 07:08:37 ] Maria Daphiti > "Fine. Ms. Black, can you recommend a red wine to go with the steaks?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:08:46 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote glares at Brent as she asks Charity.
[ 2014.07.12 07:08:55 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote raises his hand to his chin and thoughtfully rubs his thumb through his beard. "Serving wench? Maria, I want to see you now"
[ 2014.07.12 07:09:12 ] Maria Daphiti > You're not my Dad.
[ 2014.07.12 07:09:55 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote lays a hand on TIger's arm, "Chill."
[ 2014.07.12 07:10:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote bites his lip. "As you wish"
[ 2014.07.12 07:10:41 ] Brent Anderson > "Yes please Miss Black show us your experince and knowledge of Wines for the prefect wine for the steaks you shall serve us with grace and calm politness you have so far shown us."
[ 2014.07.12 07:11:11 ] Charity Black > "Something a bit bolder." she smiles "WIth the exception of the gentleman I would reccomend an aged red, something from the Ardishapur vineyards. They tend to be more on the dry side."
[ 2014.07.12 07:12:05 ] Maria Daphiti > "Sounds Fine."
[ 2014.07.12 07:12:22 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote smiles primly at Brent.
[ 2014.07.12 07:12:48 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "Indeed it does."
[ 2014.07.12 07:13:08 ] Brent Anderson > "I bow to your superior knowledge of wine Miss Black and agree that shall be fine"
[ 2014.07.12 07:13:27 ] Maria Daphiti > "Lord Anderson, I thought you were a gentleman?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:13:50 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote blinks with a purely innocent expression on her face.
[ 2014.07.12 07:14:02 ] Charity Black > "For the gentleman, something less aged, with a bit more fruit to it. Since he wants his steak well cooked."
[ 2014.07.12 07:14:57 ] Brent Anderson > "I try to be a Gentleman....and I have yet to gain the title of holder right now I am a Heir to a title for now it has yet to be ratified and granted."
[ 2014.07.12 07:15:13 ] Charity Black > "Lord Anderson is a holder, madame." she straightens her spine. For those that look closely a thing slave collar can be seen just above the collar of the shirt
[ 2014.07.12 07:15:42 ] Maria Daphiti > My pardon, I was simply confused I suppose.
[ 2014.07.12 07:16:35 ] Charity Black > /emote makes a small bow and departs
[ 2014.07.12 07:17:00 ] Maria Daphiti > You keep talking about your ship, the packmule?
[ 2014.07.12 07:17:04 ] Maria Daphiti > Tell us more about it.
[ 2014.07.12 07:17:42 ] Brent Anderson > She
[ 2014.07.12 07:17:46 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Seems you have a fan, Mr Anderson?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:20:07 ] Brent Anderson > She's a Providence class freighter Refitted to carry over 1 million cubic tons of cargo with extensive refitting to crew and crew family areas of the ship and its also my mobile home and museum."
[ 2014.07.12 07:21:31 ] Brent Anderson > Oh and a personal art gallery.
[ 2014.07.12 07:22:00 ] Brent Anderson > My own works mostly
[ 2014.07.12 07:22:57 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote makes his way to the bar to check on the status of the steak and wine.
[ 2014.07.12 07:23:31 ] Charity Black > /emote is getting the wine glasses and the decanter. She's not sure what the kitchen is doing
[ 2014.07.12 07:24:15 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote nods at Charity and goes back into the kitchen.
[ 2014.07.12 07:26:05 ] Katerina Tzestu > She sounds lovely.
[ 2014.07.12 07:26:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote darts his gaze towards the kitchen door. "Seems service is a little slow this evening. So.. you guys think we'll take Huola?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:26:23 ] Charity Black > /emote has placed five glasses on the trolley along with a lit candle and a crystal decanter. She has two bottles, one in a cradle, one standing upright. She rolls the trolley to the table
[ 2014.07.12 07:26:35 ] Charity Black > .
[ 2014.07.12 07:28:09 ] Maria Daphiti > Of course we will. *firmly*
[ 2014.07.12 07:28:26 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote notes that after a few minutes, yelling can be heard in the kitchen.
[ 2014.07.12 07:28:38 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I like that attitude" he says to Maria, having forgiven her for her outburst earlier
[ 2014.07.12 07:28:57 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote smiles faintly.
[ 2014.07.12 07:29:03 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "I think we can do it, early yet, but based on yesterday and today I think it's possible, at least."
[ 2014.07.12 07:29:21 ] Charity Black > "My lord, regreably the bottle was placed on its side in the rack." She shows brent the bottle, not changing the way it was
[ 2014.07.12 07:29:39 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote returns from the kitchen, veins bulging from his neck and forehead and goes behind the bar,.
[ 2014.07.12 07:30:04 ] Brent Anderson > Hmm is the cork still wet?
[ 2014.07.12 07:31:25 ] Charity Black > "Yes, my lord. It should be okay. If you will permit me to decant it?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:31:36 ] Brent Anderson > "yes please."
[ 2014.07.12 07:32:51 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Well, if you'll all excuse me, I should probably be heading back to the Manor"
[ 2014.07.12 07:32:54 ] Maria Daphiti > What kind of museum, Mr. Brent?
[ 2014.07.12 07:33:08 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote waves to Tiger, "Nighty."
[ 2014.07.12 07:33:41 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote notes that the Steak will be ready when Charity returns.
[ 2014.07.12 07:34:21 ] Brent Anderson > "Religion and faith and belief."
[ 2014.07.12 07:34:21 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks at Tiger "G'nite"
[ 2014.07.12 07:34:22 ] Charity Black > /emote carefully cuts the foil and wipes the mouth before popping the cork, keeping the bottle on its side. She pours a small amount into a glass and then the same taste into another glass.
[ 2014.07.12 07:34:26 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote picks up his bottle and settles back down. "Well it would be a shame to leave now"
[ 2014.07.12 07:35:41 ] Charity Black > /emote hands the glass to Brent and takes the other and turns, giving the wine a long deep smell, making sure it's okay
[ 2014.07.12 07:36:17 ] Brent Anderson > *give the wine apprecative sniff and then sips it* Yes Very good.
[ 2014.07.12 07:36:34 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote watches Charity with interest, then looks back to Kat and Maria. "Anyone seen Shalee lately?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:36:58 ] Maria Daphiti > "No. I think she's moving stuff around."
[ 2014.07.12 07:37:47 ] Charity Black > /emote nods and starts to pour the aged wine into the decanter, using the light from the candle to see when the sediment starts to gather in the neck of the bottle, and stops. She sets the bottle on a coaster and then on the table, the label facing Bre...
[ 2014.07.12 07:37:57 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "It's sad, but I've seen more of your mother than I have my lady friend in the last few weeks"
[ 2014.07.12 07:38:51 ] Katerina Tzestu > I saw her today, She's been busy.
[ 2014.07.12 07:39:44 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I see. I assumed Huola was her project; I know how much she wanted it"
[ 2014.07.12 07:40:06 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote glances sharply at Tiger 'Really?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:40:06 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote shrugs
[ 2014.07.12 07:40:17 ] Charity Black > /emote then pours each of the women their wine and then Brent. She puts the decanter on the table. "Sir, I will happily pour your wine if you wish. It's younger and not needing to be decanted."
[ 2014.07.12 07:40:42 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks back at Maria. "Yes, she once asked me to take it for her, but it was much too large a project"
[ 2014.07.12 07:41:08 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote says frostily 'that's not what I meant."
[ 2014.07.12 07:41:19 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles her thanks at Charity, then takes a sip of the wine.
[ 2014.07.12 07:41:25 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks at Brent "Can you tell us more about the Museum.. what do you mean faith?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:41:45 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote glances up at Charity. "You're an exceptional hostess, my dear"
[ 2014.07.12 07:41:50 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote sips her wine.
[ 2014.07.12 07:42:30 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods back to Maria. "Why so surprised?" he asks, finally working out what she meant.
[ 2014.07.12 07:42:34 ] Brent Anderson > *Rubs the back of his Neck and has a sheepish look about himself* Its a museum in showing how I percive my faith and belief in god.
[ 2014.07.12 07:43:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks back to Brent. "Actually, if your museum is for private observation, it forms more a cabinet of curiosity"
[ 2014.07.12 07:43:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "That's the technical term for it"
[ 2014.07.12 07:43:57 ] Brent Anderson > I stand corrected in how I am to address it then
[ 2014.07.12 07:44:26 ] Charity Black > /emote smiles softly "I try sir." She moves around the table to take the bottle from Tiger "This is a Kadorian wine. A Merlot grown in an orbital farm around the planet. Most Amarr find that a break with tradition, but it is quite good."
[ 2014.07.12 07:44:51 ] Charity Black > /emote gives Tiger the cork on a small plate and pours him a small taste in the glass
[ 2014.07.12 07:45:16 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles and gestures to his glass. "I'll trust your judgement, my dear"
[ 2014.07.12 07:45:18 ] Maria Daphiti > "Isn't that a bit narcissic? Sorry if I am being rude." *to Brent*
[ 2014.07.12 07:45:44 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote glances at Tiger "As for my mother, i think you know" and says nothing further.
[ 2014.07.12 07:46:16 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns and looks back to Maria, now totally confused. "Huh?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:46:38 ] Brent Anderson > Well if It was portaits of myself and such then yes I'd say Narcissicitic but its about faith
[ 2014.07.12 07:47:16 ] Charity Black > /emote pours a full glass for Tiger and then places the bottle on the coaster on the table
[ 2014.07.12 07:47:26 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote shrugs at Tiger and turns her attention back to Brent "Your version of it, So how is it a museum which I thought dealt with history"
[ 2014.07.12 07:47:31 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head to Charity. "Thank you"
[ 2014.07.12 07:47:47 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote shrugs at Tiger and turns her attention back to Brent "Your version of it, So how is it a museum which I thought dealt with history" ((take 2))
[ 2014.07.12 07:48:39 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You mother is alright, I trust?" he presses, still trying to comprehend what on Earth is bugging Maria.
[ 2014.07.12 07:49:08 ] Maria Daphiti > "She was fine the last time I saw her. She had important advice."
[ 2014.07.12 07:49:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "important advice? About what?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:49:46 ] Brent Anderson > It is a history lesson to me about faith is the best way to describe it...You'd have to see if for yourself to understand it
[ 2014.07.12 07:50:24 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks evenly at Tiger and says "Mother/Daughter stuff."
[ 2014.07.12 07:50:41 ] Charity Black > /emote notes that other staff deliver the steak
[ 2014.07.12 07:51:29 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote picks up the glas of wine and raises it to his nose. After a moment, he takes a sip and swills it around in his mouth. "Very nice indeed"
[ 2014.07.12 07:52:11 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote notes that at this point, steaks are served with appropriate cutlery.
[ 2014.07.12 07:53:49 ] Maria Daphiti > 'I see. Would I be safe seeing it for myself?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:54:21 ] Brent Anderson > Certainly.. You may take anyone you wish along with you if you like.
[ 2014.07.12 07:54:55 ] Maria Daphiti > No hooded minmater kidnappers?
[ 2014.07.12 07:55:26 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote stares at her steak, as if deciding whether to eat it.
[ 2014.07.12 07:55:48 ] Brent Anderson > *chuckles* Nope Armored Dust Soldiers of Ammarian side of conflict
[ 2014.07.12 07:56:21 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote doesn't laugh.
[ 2014.07.12 07:56:46 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote thanks the staff, then proceeds to attack the steak, a day of fighting had left her famished.
[ 2014.07.12 07:57:05 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote watches Maria, thoughtuflly cradling his glass of wine and saying nothing.
[ 2014.07.12 07:57:39 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote takes her steak knife and begins to cut the steak slowly.
[ 2014.07.12 07:58:06 ] Maria Daphiti > "You have DUST solders on your ship? They are all crazy."
[ 2014.07.12 07:58:12 ] Brent Anderson > "Sorry I hired a group of former dust Soldiers to server aboard my ships as security they would be your escorts about the ship."
[ 2014.07.12 07:58:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote watches her for a while longer, then lowers his eyes to his glass
[ 2014.07.12 07:58:46 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote looks doubtfully at Brent "Seriously? Why not someone less unbalanced, like Kamerias?"
[ 2014.07.12 07:59:57 ] Brent Anderson > "Their old Friends."
[ 2014.07.12 08:00:47 ] Katerina Tzestu > Not all DUST soldiers are unbalanced, Maria.
[ 2014.07.12 08:00:55 ] Katerina Tzestu > just like not all capsuleers are unbalanced.
[ 2014.07.12 08:01:06 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote says quietly "Okies"
[ 2014.07.12 08:01:14 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote begins to cut her steak more forcefully.
[ 2014.07.12 08:01:35 ] Maria Daphiti > "What kind of art do you do, Lord Anderson?"
[ 2014.07.12 08:02:24 ] Brent Anderson > I would have to contend that my old friend Marcus may be at the cusp of "Holy Crap he's NUTS!!!! type crap.
[ 2014.07.12 08:03:12 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote nods as she concentrates hard on her steak, cutting harder.
[ 2014.07.12 08:03:40 ] Brent Anderson > *Smiles at the art comment and pulls out a small sketchpad and quickly makes a sketch of Maria with her look of concentraction immortallized*
[ 2014.07.12 08:04:03 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > I used to paint a little, myself. Long ago. I was never very good though.
[ 2014.07.12 08:04:32 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote glances at Tiger "really?
[ 2014.07.12 08:05:33 ] Brent Anderson > Most of the art is by my hand but I have a few others made by other painters aand such.
[ 2014.07.12 08:07:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Yes, really. Your mother has seen an example of my work - it's in Shalee's suite"
[ 2014.07.12 08:07:54 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote gets a dark look on her face "Really?"
[ 2014.07.12 08:08:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head again. "Yes. Perhaps if you ask Shalee nice, she'll show you"
[ 2014.07.12 08:08:30 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > nicely**
[ 2014.07.12 08:09:40 ] Maria Daphiti > "Why shouldn't she? I'm the one putting my skin on the line, not my mother."
[ 2014.07.12 08:09:49 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote scowls at her steak.
[ 2014.07.12 08:10:03 ] Maria Daphiti > /emote gets up and walks out.
[ 2014.07.12 08:10:26 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote watches her leave. "What just happened?"
[ 2014.07.12 08:11:28 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote sighs, "I'll be back." She follows Maria out, attempting to interdict.
[ 2014.07.12 08:12:50 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote returns a minute later, "She's way too fast."
[ 2014.07.12 08:13:12 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shrugs. "She's small and light on her feet"
[ 2014.07.12 08:13:37 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "Anyhow, where were we?"
[ 2014.07.12 08:14:08 ] Brent Anderson > *gets a far away look in his eye and sends a personal invite to his ship to Maria Via Neocom
[ 2014.07.12 08:14:14 ] Charity Black > /emote shows back up at the table "How are the steaks?"
[ 2014.07.12 08:14:48 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote sighs and pushes his chair back. "Very nice, thank you. Perfect in fact, but I need to head off. I want to try and catch Maria"
[ 2014.07.12 08:15:45 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote shakes her head, "Don't Tiger. Let me talk to her first."
[ 2014.07.12 08:17:11 ] Katerina Tzestu > And the steak is excellent, thank you.
[ 2014.07.12 08:17:38 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Perhaps you're right. Though I should get moving"
[ 2014.07.12 08:17:55 ] Brent Anderson > yes it is a very good steak *chows down on it*
[ 2014.07.12 08:18:08 ] Charity Black > "Can I get you anything?"
[ 2014.07.12 08:19:13 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote shakes her head, "Not for me, thanks."
[ 2014.07.12 08:23:13 ] Vincentus Azizora > /emote nods at satisfaction seeing that the diners are eating their steak, and frowns slightly at the plate where Maria was and makes his way to the kitchen, texting someone on his datapad.
[ 2014.07.12 08:23:52 ] Charity Black > /emote tops off water goblets and wine as necessary and departs
[ 2014.07.12 08:35:07 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote stands after finishing her meal. She deposits some ISK into the grape's account via neocomm, then nods to Brent, "I should be off, it's been a long day. Goodnight!"
[ 2014.07.12 08:35:30 ] Brent Anderson > Goodnight thank you for the company
[ 2014.07.12 08:35:38 ] Katerina Tzestu > Of course!
[ 2014.07.12 08:35:43 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote stands and walks out.

PROLOGUE - PART III

Channel MOTD: A surprisingly comfortable space in the Emperor Family Station in the Amarr system.The walls are paneled with dark wood. Periodically there are cross-hatched sections that serve to store wine bottles horizontally. The temperature is cool. There are multiple tables and booths with sumptious velvet red cushions. Stained glass lanterns and lights providing soft lighting. Each table has a wine & beverage list with a range of wines, ales, liquors and non-alcoholic drinks such as tea. A simple menu is also on each table that indicates that complimentary bread and assorted cheeses and fruits are provided to those who order by the bottle. Along one wall is a suit of golden armor with ceremonial sword and a tabard for the theology counsel that is cut for a femine figure along with a Picture. A square parquet dance floor is in the center of the room. The proprietor Vincentus Azizora and attentive wait staff are all baseliners.

[ 2014.07.12 22:13:18 ] Charity Black > /emote comes out of the back, wearing a pair of black slacks, white shirt with black sleeve garters and a red vest with a gold neck tab. The crest of Ibrahim's branch of the Tash-Murkon family is embroidered over her left breast
[ 2014.07.12 22:15:50 ] Charity Black > /emote takes a cloth and starts to polish the wine glasses
[ 2014.07.12 22:17:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters and takes a seat.
[ 2014.07.12 22:18:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters and takes a seat, She is wearing her flight clothes: Flight jacket .
[ 2014.07.12 22:19:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote lets out a sigh and leans back in her chair, her eyes closed for a moment.
[ 2014.07.12 22:24:35 ] Charity Black > /emote sets the glass down and goes over, since no one else seems to be paying attention. "Madame. Good evening. My name is Charity and I will be taking care of you this evening." She pours ice water into the goblet
[ 2014.07.12 22:25:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Hello Charity. Thank you for the water.
[ 2014.07.12 22:25:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly.
[ 2014.07.12 22:25:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You can call me Mrs. Daphiti, or Luna, whichever is easiest.
[ 2014.07.12 22:26:18 ] Charity Black > /emote bows her head slightly "What can I get for you today, madame?"
[ 2014.07.12 22:26:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I'd like a light, fruity wine. Nothing too heavy.
[ 2014.07.12 22:26:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Can you suggest something?
[ 2014.07.12 22:27:26 ] Charity Black > "Something sweet?"
[ 2014.07.12 22:27:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Not so much sweet as fruity and light.
[ 2014.07.12 22:27:49 ] Charity Black > "Or a bit more crisp?"
[ 2014.07.12 22:27:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Crisp
[ 2014.07.12 22:27:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > yes
[ 2014.07.12 22:28:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly and glances at Charity.
[ 2014.07.12 22:33:03 ] Charity Black > "Kadorian Pinot Gris. It's a crisp wine with definite fruity flavours and a floral bouquet. We have a few different vintages. One from Nordar and one from Kamda. The Kamda vintage has a bit of a smokey flavour to it."
[ 2014.07.12 22:33:48 ] Charity Black > "The Nordar wine has some appley and pear overtones and a very crisp finish."
[ 2014.07.12 22:34:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > the Nordar one sounds very pleasant and just what I need.
[ 2014.07.12 22:35:10 ] Charity Black > /emote bows and heads back into the kitchen
[ 2014.07.12 22:39:35 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote enters the Grape and looks around for Luna.
[ 2014.07.12 22:40:35 ] Charity Black > /emote comes back with her cart. She places the wine glass at Luna's place and then a small plate of cheese and crackers on the table. She shows Luna the bottle, a YC 111 Pinot Gris, from Nordar III.
[ 2014.07.12 22:41:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sees Tiger and gives a slight wave, then turns her attention to Charity.
[ 2014.07.12 22:41:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Charity."
[ 2014.07.12 22:41:41 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote heads over towards Luna. "Evening"
[ 2014.07.12 22:41:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > That looks fine, Charity. Can I have a second glass?
[ 2014.07.12 22:42:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head towards Tiger.
[ 2014.07.12 22:42:52 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "How are you, Luna? Well, I trust?"
[ 2014.07.12 22:43:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am. I just finished a number of low security hauls, in addition to the two you assisted me with.
[ 2014.07.12 22:44:18 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote wanders in and grabs a drink
[ 2014.07.12 22:44:37 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Your passenger got home safely?" he says, gesturing to an empty seat. "Mind if I sit?"
[ 2014.07.12 22:45:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes, he did. very odd that assignment. And certainly, have a seat.
[ 2014.07.12 22:45:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notices Lucas and smiles.
[ 2014.07.12 22:45:15 ] Charity Black > /emote pulls out her wine tool and cuts the foil. She wipes the mouth of the bottle before scewing in the corkscrew and pulling it out and wiping the bottle again. She puts the cork on a plate and sets it by Luna before pouring a small taste in Luna's
[ 2014.07.12 22:45:16 ] Charity Black > glass
[ 2014.07.12 22:46:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods and as she begins to lift the glass, glances at Tiger.
[ 2014.07.12 22:46:19 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote sinks down into the seat, watching Charity again for the second time in two days.
[ 2014.07.12 22:46:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > A gentleman should always taste the wine.
[ 2014.07.12 22:46:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote presents the glass to Tigerfish.
[ 2014.07.12 22:46:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles primly.
[ 2014.07.12 22:46:55 ] Lucas Raholan > Well, I certainly need this drink I tell you now *takes a seat next to Luna
[ 2014.07.12 22:47:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers to Charity "We'll need a third glass."
[ 2014.07.12 22:47:45 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote takes the glass from Luna with a smile and nod of his head. "Thank you". Raising to his nose, he smells the fruity liquid within, then sips and swills it around in his mouth. "Perfect"
[ 2014.07.12 22:48:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods with satisfaction "Charity, I think it will be fine for the table."
[ 2014.07.12 22:49:31 ] Charity Black > "Of course, madame. I'll bring out some more cheese and crackers as well." she says demurely. She scampers back to the bar and picks out two more glasses and goes back to set them before Luna and Lucas. She refills Tiger
[ 2014.07.12 22:50:11 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles up at Charity. "Thank you"
[ 2014.07.12 22:50:36 ] Charity Black > *Tiger's glass and then Lucas before filling Luna's. She puts the ice bucket on the table and the bottle in the bucket.
[ 2014.07.12 22:50:37 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote pick up the glass and pours some drink into them before raising it to his mouth and taking a sip
[ 2014.07.12 22:52:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > So Tiger... how have you been? if you can discuss it in present company?
[ 2014.07.12 22:52:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Luna, can I borrow you for a moment, when you can spare me five mins?"
[ 2014.07.12 22:52:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Ah. yes.
[ 2014.07.12 22:52:44 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "No disrespect to present company, but I'd rather talk in private"
[ 2014.07.12 22:52:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Shall we take a walk for a moment around the station ring for this level?
[ 2014.07.12 22:52:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Lucas "We'll be back"
[ 2014.07.12 22:53:10 ] Charity Black > /emote comes back with some more cheese and crackers. It's butter crackers with havarti cheese. There is also some fresh motz marinated in a herb and olive oil.
[ 2014.07.12 22:53:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head, takes another sip of his wine, and gets up from his chair. "After you"
[ 2014.07.12 22:53:15 ] Lucas Raholan > of course Luna, I still have some reports to file
[ 2014.07.12 22:53:29 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote wipes out his datapad and starts typing
[ 2014.07.12 22:54:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote walks over by the bar to let Vincentus know to tell Charity she and Tiger will be back, and to please leave the table set.
[ 2014.07.12 22:54:38 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote follows after her, keeping quiet as she talks to Vincentus
[ 2014.07.12 22:55:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exits into the hallway outside.
[ 2014.07.12 22:55:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote follows

***** WALK AROUND THE STATION***

[ 2014.07.12 22:55:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote walks at a leisurely pace through the level which is filled with shops and bars, including the AVCL and the Holy Grape.
[ 2014.07.12 22:56:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly towards Lucas "So what is going on?"
[ 2014.07.12 22:56:52 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote keeps slightly behind, but at pace with her as she moves. "I have no idea. It's like I said. We were talking earlier today, on the Terrace, and she explained that she's felt different since she was last podded
[ 2014.07.12 22:58:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "I have noticed a chance in her conduct as I think I've told you" and slows so Tiger is not behind, but next to hear.
[ 2014.07.12 22:59:32 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "She tried to play is quite casually. I mean she was trying to find a way she could trust me, and whilst I was open to doing anything in my power to ensure she could, I found that request a little strange"
[ 2014.07.12 23:00:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote stops and turns to face her.
[ 2014.07.12 23:01:13 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Essentially, any time I go out or meet with her, it could prove fatal to me. At the same time, she suggested our meeting tonight, in a secluded location we sometimes go to"
[ 2014.07.12 23:01:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes, it is extremely unusual."
[ 2014.07.12 23:02:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets a blank look on her face as if pondering a few things.
[ 2014.07.12 23:02:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote muses, slowly nodding his head. "I don't feel that I can refuse her request, nor would I want to, if she's herself... But there's this doubt in my mind, caused mainly by the way she's been acting of late"
[ 2014.07.12 23:02:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I will cut to the chase, if I can.
[ 2014.07.12 23:02:52 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Please do"
[ 2014.07.12 23:03:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Unfortunately, I don't know if there is a way to verify your response.
[ 2014.07.12 23:03:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Are you still involved with the Sani Sabik, directly or indirect?
[ 2014.07.12 23:03:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a step slightly backwards unconciously.
[ 2014.07.12 23:03:59 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Still involved with the Sani Sabik?" he repeats, his brow quirked in curiosity. "Now where did you hear that?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:04:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers softly "You aren't denying it? That's what most people do when asked that.. immediately"
[ 2014.07.12 23:05:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "No, I have no connection with the Sani Sabik. Not in any way at all" he says in a steady voice.
[ 2014.07.12 23:05:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think Lady Lianne may have her doubts.
[ 2014.07.12 23:05:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And how can I verify that?
[ 2014.07.12 23:06:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "She thinks I'm with the Sani?" he ponders. "She's planning to kill me tonight, isn't she?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:07:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I didn't say that she said that she thinks it.
[ 2014.07.12 23:07:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Interestingly enough Tiger.. several people have warned me about you now.
[ 2014.07.12 23:08:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > What if Lady Lianne heard from those same people?
[ 2014.07.12 23:08:16 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head slowly. "I would have warned you myself, if I didn't enjoy your company so, Luna"
[ 2014.07.12 23:08:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stares evenly at Tiger, as they remain standing in the middle of a very public concourse.
[ 2014.07.12 23:08:54 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Lady Lianne has known me for four years. She knows me better than anyone else alive; even my own sister"
[ 2014.07.12 23:09:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.07.12 23:09:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You have a sister?
[ 2014.07.12 23:09:48 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Yes, I do"
[ 2014.07.12 23:10:05 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "We don't see eye to eye any more, though"
[ 2014.07.12 23:10:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs. "Well... that's been my issue with you for what it's worth."
[ 2014.07.12 23:10:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "As for Lady Lianne... you have been seeing her for four years?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:10:34 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I have, yes"
[ 2014.07.12 23:11:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs to herself "Well.. that could be an explanation...a very simple one"
[ 2014.07.12 23:11:34 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Oh?", he looks up at her questioningly.
[ 2014.07.12 23:12:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I don't care how you label your relationship... a woman doesn't like that sort of uncertainty."
[ 2014.07.12 23:12:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You've not even proposed to her have you?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:12:39 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "We were engaged for almost two years" he says softly
[ 2014.07.12 23:12:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see...
[ 2014.07.12 23:13:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And that is off I assume?
[ 2014.07.12 23:13:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Of course. We merely have an open relationship now"
[ 2014.07.12 23:14:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches.
[ 2014.07.12 23:14:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I could never live with that kind of uncertainty."
[ 2014.07.12 23:14:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > That's why I broke up with Sir Altol.
[ 2014.07.12 23:15:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think one possibility.. is she wants to know she has control over you so you will not go away.
[ 2014.07.12 23:15:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "It's all so very complicated, Luna. Needless to say, the openess of our relationship was of my doing, but not my choice. She won't ever get tied down with a man again"
[ 2014.07.12 23:15:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs "one possibility..."
[ 2014.07.12 23:15:52 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I considered the same, however I already gave up my life, my fortune, my career, my home, to be here with her. She already has control over me"
[ 2014.07.12 23:16:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She does not have a commitment Tiger.
[ 2014.07.12 23:16:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She is still Amarr.
[ 2014.07.12 23:17:50 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I see. Then I'll give her what she asks in this case"
[ 2014.07.12 23:18:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > If you are certain there is no other reason...
[ 2014.07.12 23:18:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles faintly 'as you said, you are not Sani Sabik, so I trust there is none"
[ 2014.07.12 23:19:07 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Indeed. How could I ever associate with the Sabik and serve the miltiia?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:19:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Tigerfish a Bleak look "Nauplius certain has"
[ 2014.07.12 23:19:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs "Our wine is getting warm... shall we walk back?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:19:54 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I'm not Nauplius - but Luna?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:20:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I guess what I want to know from you, is whether despite the warnings, you're willing to be my friend. Is this Sani thing gonna cause issue between us?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:20:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It may, Tiger. But we can discuss that another time.
[ 2014.07.12 23:21:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote begins to walk again towards the Grape.
[ 2014.07.12 23:21:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods, watching her walk away. "I'll catch up with you later, Luna. I'm going to go meet Shalee now"
[ 2014.07.12 23:23:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses and nods at Tiger.
[ 2014.07.12 23:23:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have a Blessed Trip. I hope it goes as you expect."
[ 2014.07.12 23:23:48 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I hope it doesn't" he says with a weak smile
[ 2014.07.12 23:24:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote raises an eyebrow slightly but simply nods at Tiger as she turns back to the Grape.

**LUNA RETURNS AND IS POLITE AND QUIET***
[ 2014.07.12 22:55:33 ] Charity Black > /emote comes back to the tables "Sir, can I get you anything?"
[ 2014.07.12 22:56:18 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote looks up ahh yes, some food would be good, prehaps a steak, and have yourself a drink on me a well, cant be all work now can it
[ 2014.07.12 22:58:34 ] Charity Black > /emote is apologetic "I cannot drink while working, sir, but I can definately get you a steak. How would you liked it cooked?"
[ 2014.07.12 22:59:14 ] Lucas Raholan > Medium rare....and I wont tell anyone, please get a drink
[ 2014.07.12 22:59:20 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote gives a sneaky smile
[ 2014.07.12 23:01:48 ] Charity Black > "I will consider it. All of our sides are a la carte. Anything you would like with your steak?"

[ 2014.07.12 23:09:32 ] Charity Black > "Sir, a salad to start you off?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:10:02 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote looks up looking a bit startled

[ 2014.07.12 23:24:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote re-enters, without Tigerfish.
[ 2014.07.12 23:24:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote returns to the table and sits down and gives Lucas a weak smile "Catch up on your paperwork?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:25:37 ] Lucas Raholan > Indeed...finishing up the last parts of my little project down in Neziel
[ 2014.07.12 23:26:11 ] Lucas Raholan > just got a bit more scout work to do and I'll be ready to go in about a month
[ 2014.07.12 23:26:12 ] Charity Black > /emote shows up and asks Luna "Can I get you anything, madame?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:29:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "Yeah..I think I'd like a filet mignon"
[ 2014.07.12 23:29:29 ] Charity Black > "How would you like that cooked?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:29:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Medium well please.
[ 2014.07.12 23:29:45 ] Lucas Raholan > Charity I still dont see your drink
[ 2014.07.12 23:29:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > A little pink, but no blood.
[ 2014.07.12 23:29:49 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote chuckles
[ 2014.07.12 23:30:03 ] Charity Black > "A different wine with your steak?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:30:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly at Charity.
[ 2014.07.12 23:30:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "Yes. I think I will stay for a bit"
[ 2014.07.12 23:32:29 ] Charity Black > "Would madame have her own choice or would she like me to reccomend a wine?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:32:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says absentmindly "Why don't you surprise me?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:33:02 ] Charity Black > /emote bows and departs
[ 2014.07.12 23:33:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks a perturbed but settles as she sips her original wine.
[ 2014.07.12 23:34:39 ] Lucas Raholan > Any major problems with Tiger there, seemed abit sad to me
[ 2014.07.12 23:34:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs "Oh, nothing you need to concern yourself with."
[ 2014.07.12 23:35:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am curious though.. what were all the low sec shipments for?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:35:54 ] Lucas Raholan > Oh how I would like to tell you, unfortunatly its represents a rather significant investment so I'll rather keep it Opsec for the moment
[ 2014.07.12 23:36:37 ] Lucas Raholan > those shipmenst were some of the final pieces i needed
[ 2014.07.12 23:36:43 ] Lucas Raholan > shipments*
[ 2014.07.12 23:37:58 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote takes out Datapad and types a few words before placing it back in his pocket
[ 2014.07.12 23:38:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "I see. Does it involve SFRIM or your personal holdings?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:38:22 ] Charity Black > /emote arrives with a salad for Luna, with ranch dressing
[ 2014.07.12 23:38:56 ] Lucas Raholan > It's a personal project but I'll expect it bring some benifit to SFRIM
[ 2014.07.12 23:39:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers politely to charity and then pauses.
[ 2014.07.12 23:39:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have I seen you before Ms. Black?"
[ 2014.07.12 23:40:01 ] Charity Black > "You must have, madame, since you knew my last name."
[ 2014.07.12 23:41:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Charity some more, then shrugs. "Don't mind me."
[ 2014.07.12 23:42:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at lucas "Well then I won't trouble you for details."
[ 2014.07.12 23:42:03 ] Charity Black > /emote bows and heads back to the bar
[ 2014.07.12 23:43:01 ] Lucas Raholan > (Blasted Router)
[ 2014.07.12 23:43:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at lucas "Well then I won't trouble you for details."
[ 2014.07.12 23:43:44 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote nods
[ 2014.07.12 23:44:46 ] Lucas Raholan > I do hope however that you are been doing well
[ 2014.07.12 23:45:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It's been interesting..
[ 2014.07.12 23:45:20 ] Lucas Raholan > oh
[ 2014.07.12 23:45:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am beginning to restart the family shipyards to supply increased demand due to Huola
[ 2014.07.12 23:45:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The POS you and Brother Novan have been discussing would be very useful if they had refinding arrayrs.
[ 2014.07.12 23:46:44 ] Charity Black > /emote comes back with a plate of bread, fresh baked and a small bit of butter on a plate with a knife. "Your steaks should be out shortly."
[ 2014.07.12 23:46:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Besides sending the mining fleet on renewed ops.. I am also issuing buy orders in select systems.
[ 2014.07.12 23:46:57 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote nods
[ 2014.07.12 23:47:02 ] Lucas Raholan > indeed
[ 2014.07.12 23:47:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Charity "thank you" and takes a piece of bread and begins to butter it.
[ 2014.07.12 23:47:30 ] Lucas Raholan > I'm still making the purchases if relevent modules and towers for the job, Rein has been more then helpful with the matter
[ 2014.07.12 23:49:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "good."
[ 2014.07.12 23:49:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > How confident are you that the new member can be trusted with access to it?
[ 2014.07.12 23:51:13 ] Lucas Raholan > Rein does seem to have previous experience with the matter of POS modules, half of the structures came from his personal assest
[ 2014.07.12 23:51:40 ] Lucas Raholan > but i am designing a layer of added security anyone with POS rights will be required to provide come the 22nd
[ 2014.07.12 23:52:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.07.12 23:52:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well then.
[ 2014.07.12 23:52:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I spoke with Lady Steward Lagann by the way about the vineyards... about using her facility to have a taste testing. She is agreeable"
[ 2014.07.12 23:52:55 ] Lucas Raholan > I'm also aware Anise wishes to set up her own POS for various personal projects
[ 2014.07.12 23:53:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Lucas (strike the prior comment by me for now))
[ 2014.07.12 23:53:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > What sort of personal projects?
[ 2014.07.12 23:53:26 ] Lucas Raholan > for the moment she has them but as I said will need to conform to added security when the corp one goes up
[ 2014.07.12 23:53:46 ] Lucas Raholan > Something about wormholes I belive
[ 2014.07.12 23:54:51 ] Charity Black > /emote arrives with her trolley again with two glasses. She shows the wine to Luna. It's a Kadorian Merlot, YC 110
[ 2014.07.12 23:56:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote raises an eyebrow at Lucas "Well.. I trust you to balance her needs with those of the Society"
[ 2014.07.12 23:56:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at the wine and nods at Charity.
[ 2014.07.12 23:57:19 ] Lucas Raholan > the roles themselves aren't much of a issue at this moment
[ 2014.07.12 23:57:56 ] Lucas Raholan > we cant erect ones in high sec and I've stressed that any tower she sets up for personal projects will be her responsiblity to run and keep fueled
[ 2014.07.12 23:58:20 ] Charity Black > /emote pops the cork and passes it on the plate to Luna. She pours a small taste into Luna's glass
[ 2014.07.12 23:58:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes the glass and sips it, pausing, and then nods at Charity "very nice, thank you for your choice."
[ 2014.07.12 23:59:49 ] Charity Black > /emote turns to Lucas "Is the gentelman sure that I cannot pour him a glass? It's not the best for the steak, but a far sight better than the white."
[ 2014.07.13 00:00:29 ] Lucas Raholan > Well go one then, can't refuse a graceful lady now can I
[ 2014.07.13 00:01:00 ] Charity Black > /emote pours Lucas a glass and then Luna before putting the bottle on the table on a coaster
[ 2014.07.13 00:03:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods with approval.
[ 2014.07.13 00:03:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Charity, do you know when the steak will be ready?
[ 2014.07.13 00:05:33 ] Charity Black > "Now." she smiles as the staff bring out the steaks. "There is asparagus and potatos au gratin for the side dishes. Can I get you any sauce?"
[ 2014.07.13 00:05:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > No, i will be fine.
[ 2014.07.13 00:05:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Lucas.
[ 2014.07.13 00:06:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Do you want any steak sauce?
[ 2014.07.13 00:06:55 ] Lucas Raholan > I belive I have already finished my steak, but I'll order another
[ 2014.07.13 00:06:57 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote smiles
[ 2014.07.13 00:07:29 ] Lucas Raholan > (derp it was Salad not steak earlier foget I said that)
[ 2014.07.13 00:07:40 ] Lucas Raholan > Yes I would love some
[ 2014.07.13 00:08:30 ] Charity Black > /emote nods and goes to get a ramekin of steak sauce
[ 2014.07.13 00:10:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > To make the POS productive.. do you require me to conduct industry with it?
[ 2014.07.13 00:11:33 ] Lucas Raholan > a small pos should only run up roughly 130mil a month..Rein expects that to rise slighty given changes coming to Capital Fuel bays though it wont likley break 150
[ 2014.07.13 00:12:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.07.13 00:12:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > have you and he identified activities for it besides it's existence?
[ 2014.07.13 00:13:27 ] Anata Thewi > /emote wanders inside, wearing a muted version of Gallentian fashion, with Imperial undertones. She orders herself a glass of wine and opens her datapad, sitting at the bar.
[ 2014.07.13 00:14:06 ] Lucas Raholan > If Rein's up for it, I belive T2 production would provide much needed income for the corp, plus give room for are more industry minded members to avoid corporate taxes on production jobs
[ 2014.07.13 00:16:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.07.13 00:16:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the new arrival.
[ 2014.07.13 00:16:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I have sizeable number of blue prints I would make available for research into tier ii bps for ships if needed.
[ 2014.07.13 00:18:48 ] Anata Thewi > /emote lights herself a cigarello, taking a short drag before looking around, making eye contact with Lunarisse briefly
[ 2014.07.13 00:20:11 ] Lucas Raholan > That would be helpful
[ 2014.07.13 00:21:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote slices her steak and continues to eat it.
[ 2014.07.13 00:22:21 ] Charity Black > /emote asks Luna and Lucas "How is everything?"
[ 2014.07.13 00:22:57 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote smiles broadly
[ 2014.07.13 00:23:05 ] Lucas Raholan > very well thank you
[ 2014.07.13 00:23:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Lovely. I confess the service has been much better than it usually is. *gives Charity a meaningful look*
[ 2014.07.13 00:24:54 ] Charity Black > "Thank you, madame." She refills glasses as needed and departs behind the bad
[ 2014.07.13 00:26:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Anata "I think I've seen you on comms but I don't think we've met. How do you do?"
[ 2014.07.13 00:28:20 ] Anata Thewi > /emote looks up from her datapad, she smiles slightly "Very well, I've been making quite a good amount of money lately, how've you been, Ma'am."
[ 2014.07.13 00:29:02 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote tucks into his steak
[ 2014.07.13 00:32:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I have been fine... how do you make isk? Hauling?"
[ 2014.07.13 00:32:52 ] Lucas Raholan > (dced its looks like)
[ 2014.07.13 00:33:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote yawns.
[ 2014.07.13 00:33:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well... that was delicious, I think I have a food coma now"
[ 2014.07.13 00:33:48 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote chuckles
[ 2014.07.13 00:34:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have a good night Lucas. I am glad we were able to catch up."
[ 2014.07.13 00:35:03 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote nods
[ 2014.07.13 00:35:12 ] Lucas Raholan > I was good to catch up indeed
[ 2014.07.13 00:35:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles as she rises.
[ 2014.07.13 00:37:43 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote gets up as well
[ 2014.07.13 00:37:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote leaves a tip in the tip jar on the bar for Charity as she exits.
[ 2014.07.13 00:40:11 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote walks out of the bar nodding to Charity while leaving a tip aswell with 'drink money' written on it

First Day at Emperor Family Station - Luna gets a Contract

Location: The Holy Grape. A surprisingly comfortable space in the Emperor Family Station in the Amarr system.The walls are paneled with dark wood. Periodically there are cross-hatched sections that serve to store wine bottles horizontally. The temperature is cool. There are multiple tables and booths with sumptious velvet red cushions. Stained glass lanterns and lights providing soft lighting. Each table has a wine & beverage list with a range of wines, ales, liquors and non-alcoholic drinks such as tea. A simple menu is also on each table that indicates that complimentary bread and assorted cheeses and fruits are provided to those who order by the bottle. Along one wall is a suit of golden armor with ceremonial sword and a tabard for the theology counsel that is cut for a femine figure along with a Picture. A square parquet dance floor is in the center of the room. The proprietor Vincentus Azizora and attentive wait staff are all baseliners.
Vincentus Azizora > /emote is polishing the bar and asks Reinheart "Can I get you a menu or wine list?"
Reinheart Novan > /emote looks up, blinking for a moment "ahh, menu, please"
Vincentus Azizora > /emote nods and gives Reinheaert two menus. One a simple bar menu, the other full service dinner menu.
Vincentus Azizora > /emote frowns as he looks at his antique watch "I would ask the Sommlier to assist.. but she is off shift."
 Vincentus Azizora > /emote makes his way back to the bar.
Reinheart Novan > /emote nods absently "ummhmm"
Reinheart Novan > /emote flicks between the two menus then places them down and goes back to his datapads
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote drifts in looking distracted and peeved.
 Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glares at VIncentus "Get me some Amontillado today"
Vincentus Azizora > /emote blinks "As you say Lady Aspenstar"
Reinheart Novan > /emote looks up at the familar voice and smiles at Luna
 Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Reinheart "Oh.. hi Brother Reinheart."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > Are you occupied?
Reinheart Novan > Nothing that can't wait "lady" Aspenstar
 Reinheart Novan > /emote chuckles lightly
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rolls her eyes and take a seat at Reinheart's table.
Reinheart Novan > /emote quickly collects the datapads in a pile to make space
Reinheart Novan > Excuse the mess Lunarisse, just working on a few things
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles "so I see"
Reinheart Novan > /emote smiles "So how have you been?"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly "A rough day. I think I may run to Cerra for a few days to enjoy the beach."
Reinheart Novan > /emote frowns slightly "Is that safe with the fighting in the system?"
Vincentus Azizora > /emote comes over with a glass for Lunarisse and looks at Reinheart "Can I get you something, Sir?"
Reinheart Novan > /emote nods "the cheese and cold meats platter and a pot of black tea please"
Reinheart Novan > /emote looks at Lunarisse "would you care to share?"
 Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "the fighting is in a lull.. frankly I fear the AMarr militia was not ready for the push back when the Minmatar got the Gallenteinvolved"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Sure. Thanks"
Reinheart Novan > /emote looks back at Vincentus "make that enough for two please"
Vincentus Azizora > "As you say, Sir."
Reinheart Novan > /emote returns to Luna "well that doesn't sound too bad"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods absentmindly "So.. whatcha working on?"
Reinheart Novan > Well working on the possible connections between the Sabik on Amarr before the reformation and the Takmahl
 Reinheart Novan > I keep running into two main issues though
Reinheart Novan > one the information that was...managed.. during the reformation and trying to stay on the right side of the Theology's council rules
Reinheart Novan > I don't want to strat rining any bells by lost of searches for Sabik belifs and practices from the period when they were strongest
Reinheart Novan > /emote rubs his eyes with finger and thumb and sighs
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly "How interesting sort of.. the Abbess hinted she needed me to pick up some sani sabik artifacts."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "maybe I can sneak you in for a peak before I deliver them.'
Reinheart Novan > /emote eyes widen "That could prove very interesting, if it's not going to cause you an problems?"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches "We'll see. I need to pick it up in low."
Reinheart Novan > "Very good, wait a moment" *lowers his voice* "Should I ask why the Abbess has sabik artifacts?"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The Abbess.. has a variety of roles. All are law abiding."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "This is one that is not public."
Reinheart Novan > /emote frowns but nods slightly "if it is legal it is not my place to question her.. activities"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her Amontillado.
Reinheart Novan > /emote looks around "is he churning the milk himself I wonder?"
Vincentus Azizora > /emote returns from the bar with Reinheart;s order.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote thanks Vincentus.
Reinheart Novan > /emote nods in Vin's general direction and pours a cup of tea
Reinheart Novan > So whereabout do you need to go for this cargo?
Brent Anderson > *Brent enters the grape escorting a man dressed in amarrian robes but the uncovered head shows the man to be of mimmatar origins the fellow is also very unsteady on his feet.* "This way Counciler there is a booth over here."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > I need to go to Delve.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Brent but keeps talking to Reinheart.
Vincentus Azizora > /emote goes over to Mr. Anderson "Sir. I trust, there will be no disturbances tonight?"
Reinheart Novan > /emote follows Luna's gaze "mmhmm"
Brent Anderson > *The Robed figure looks at Luna.* "Lunarisse Aspenstar.....it is good to see you again."
Vincentus Azizora > /emote glares at Brent waiting for an answer, barring the way to the booth.
Brent Anderson > Brent Speaks to Vincentus "So do I..."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks pale.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I... have never seen you before in my life..." *slides her chair back*
Reinheart Novan > /emote moves his pile of datapads turning the top ones face down and looking worridly at Luna
Brent Anderson > *The robed figure nods* "Yes I am to have surgery to have my face Returned to me. in the next few days."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stands up staring at the strange MInmatar"
Vincentus Azizora > /emote narrows his eyes.
Reinheart Novan > Is there a problem with this..him.. Lunarisse?
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "I know that voice"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns... stepping behind her chair as she looks at the man.
Brent Anderson > "Luna this is Couciler Vandeem.....I rescued him from the blood raiders a month ago.."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gasps, holding onto the chair.
Reinheart Novan > /emote stands looking around at each of the people
Vincentus Azizora > /emote 's eyes widen and he quietly slips into the back.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "How?"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "How did you live?"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Councilor Vandeem
Brent Anderson > *Vandeem Reachs over and pats Luna's hand in a fatherly manner* "With great pain and faith my dear......"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches, remaining where she is. "They don't generally let their prisoners live..."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'I... I don't know"
Reinheart Novan > /emote looks utterly confused his head flicking between the tribal and Luna
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Who rescued you?"
Brent Anderson > *Vandeem looks at Vincentus* "May I please have a seat and some of your best food sir.....I have desired a amarrian cooked meal for a very long time." Brent chimes in "I will pay for everything."
Brent Anderson > *Vandeem pats Brent on the shoulder* "This young man did my dear.....and yes I saw many of their captives die horribly. but they needed me alive."
((Vincentus went back into the kitchen, presumably to report to his superiors))
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says warily "sit down you two.."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "tell us about it."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is still standing even as she says that.
Reinheart Novan > /emote rubs his pate and runs his hand down across his face, starts to sit then rest ands as he see's Luna hasn't moved
Brent Anderson > *Vandeem nods in acceptance and sits* "I will let young Brent Speak for me as I am not feeling at top form right now."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a seat, chair still reversed, leaning onto it. So she is at the table, but not of the table.
Reinheart Novan > /emote somewhat angrily and somewhat loudly says to Brent "Who is this man Sir and what is going on?"
Vincentus Azizora > /emote returns from the kitchen with a bottle of wine and several glasses.
Vincentus Azizora > /emote smiles warmly at Brent and Vandeem "Please.. have some food and wine."
Brent Anderson > "Luna about a month ago I got a contract to remove some Blood Raiders in Tash-murkon space....I destroyed the base there but I had my crew board it and take any prisoners and captives aboard my ship"
Vincentus Azizora > /emote returns to behind the bar.
Vincentus Azizora > /emote narrows his eyes as he watches.. and listens.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods and sips her Amontillado.
Brent Anderson > "Among the captives where four prisoners All of them heavily drugged and in poor health....Three of them have had extensive Surgery that removed the entire upper skin layer.. Counciler Vandeem was one of them
 Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
 Reinheart Novan > /emote recoils, a look of horror across his face
Brent Anderson > "Two of the others was the Wife of Holder Larchies of Marthia V and his daughter....he himself had not been skinned but replaced by his younger twin brother..."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches.
Reinheart Novan > /emote tilts his head slightly mouth opening closing like a stunned trout for a few moments
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says in a strained vouice "Why in New Eden?"
Brent Anderson > "So the blood raiders have been the ones trying to Steal my ship with the captives still aboard it or kill me so I don't Discover the truth......Counciler Vandeem has also been spending a few days cleaning the drugs out of his body."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches as it dawns on her.
Brent Anderson > "As for why....what better way for the blood raiders to operate in Imperial space then to have a Holder in their back pocket so to speak......They have all been captured just so you know."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > So this is why all those people were trying to kill you?
Lunarisse Aspenstar > and me!
Brent Anderson > "Yep....and they failed miserably because of your timely throwing me about bodily."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head "It wasn't for you and that meddling girl you mean....
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs
Reinheart Novan > /emote continues to look confused but at the last comment suddley looks serious " she what?"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Reinheart, "I threw an assassin to the side when he uncloaked."
Brent Anderson > "Oh a cloaked Clone assassin tried to kill me....and she Tossed me out of the line of fire...."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Before my captain's quarters.. when Mr. Anderson was walking me home to keep me 'safe'" *you can hear the scare quotes in her voice*
Reinheart Novan > /emote returns to looking confused "By God what are you people getting involved in here?"
Brent Anderson > "Deep undercover Blood raider agents protecting there subornment of a Sitting Holder of Marthia V with allowed then to work in the system undercover."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Brent "Good question. Have they all been rounded up yet?"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > Or are we sitting ducks because we... are... with... you!
Brent Anderson > "The main players yes....the Larchies Impersonaters are all captured with the younger brother off to be "Questioned" by Imperial Security....The other three are drugged and being skinned as we speak.....To return the skins to the rightful owners of them
Reinheart Novan > /emote unconciously shuffles slightly away from Brent
Lunarisse Aspenstar > Main players?
Lunarisse Aspenstar > What about their clean up crew. The ones whose' job it is to ensure that messy details are cleaned up when it all goes apart?
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is very pale as she asks this, glancing at the door of the establishment.
Brent Anderson > *Brent Smiles and points out the entrance where a platoon of Paladins wearing the sigil of the Theology Council stand on guard beyond*
Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her Amontillado and pours another glass.
Brent Anderson > "The Theology council is less then pleased to find out one of its sitting members was replaced by a Blood raider agent......so the paladins have been having a field day....off in the shadows."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets a dark look and mutters "I bet."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They.. have a way of infiltrating through the shadows."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > A corruption that is unseen.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Brent "You're an agent right?"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote leans forward on her chair back "I mean that question."
Reinheart Novan > /emote looks at Brent, leaning back suddenly
Brent Anderson > "Nope just a lucky fellow in the right spot at the right time.......but that may change"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote 's eyes look very blue "what do you mean?" and she looks as if she is pondering a few other things.
Brent Anderson > *Counciler Vandeem speaks* "He is not a recognized agent for the theology council at this time but if I have my way he will have our leave to hunt this corruption wherever it is."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks thoughtful.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Vincentus then back to Brent.
Reinheart Novan > So what, this might extend beyond... this *waves his hand in circles
Brent Anderson > *Brent Shrugs* "Im packing heavier then I was that night of the attack......its rated to "Hurt" dropsuit armor"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. if you make a job out of it.. let me know."
 Brent Anderson > "Hunting Blood raiders.....No problem."
Reinheart Novan > /emote suddenly opens his eyes wide and leans in "Oh and by the way... if you should happen across any mention of ancient artefacts please do give me a call"
 Lunarisse Aspenstar > Even the ones that walk among us?
 Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head at Reinheart.
Reinheart Novan > /emote bows his head slightly "sorry but... you know.. it's worth a crack.."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > You mentioned.. you had a museum to me when we last met Brent
Brent Anderson > *Opens his jacket showing the hi-caliber pistol in a shoulder holster* "Special dispensation to carry from station security" *smiles* "But they did beg me NOT to use it if I can avoid it."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > Can you help Reinheart?
Reinheart Novan > /emote suddenly picks up a square of cheese and stares away nibbling
Brent Anderson > Hmm what kind of peices of art is he looking for?
Reinheart Novan > /emote leans in, any confusion from before melting away, "Well, not art as such..."
 Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quietly lets Reinheart speak.
Reinheart Novan > I am looking for where the ametat and ametat of legend may have ended up
Brent Anderson > *Blinks in confusion* Sorry my history is a little fuzzy on that
Reinheart Novan > I personally beleive they were taken by the Sani Sabik in antiquity and have either ended up in the ruins of the Takmahl or still within their possesion
Lunarisse Aspenstar > The Sceptre and the Crown in common paralance Lord Anderson...
Reinheart Novan > /emote somewhat cheerily "oh certainly, yes, the Sceptor and Crown of Emperor Amush-akura with which he ruled the first Empire
Brent Anderson > *blinks and gets a far away look*
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says with a bemused look "So any old amarrian artifacts in your collection? I am sure Brother Reinheart could sort them out for you.."
Reinheart Novan > They grant the holder great power and health and gave him the ability to create and lead the Empire to greatness
Brent Anderson > *pulls out a pencil and draws flawlessly the seal of the Emperor Amush-Akura on a bit of paper.*
Brent Anderson > Items with this on them right?
Reinheart Novan > /emote takes the paper "well they were granted to the Emperor by the Sefrim so maybe no markings but they were of gold and they would be held in great esteem by whomever holds them"
Brent Anderson > *rubs the back of his neck*......well I have a nice decanter and set of goblets of solid gold with this emblem on it......I have them in my office aboard Packmule Omega.....it has a nice Gallente Wiskey in it right now.
Reinheart Novan > "they ancient drawings show them like this" He shuffles through some of the datapads in the pile and shows photos of ancient drawings showing a crown and sceptor
Brent Anderson > *picks up a photo and half covers the emblem. with his hand*
Reinheart Novan > (( https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Ametat_and_Avetat ))
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances.
Brent Anderson > *Rubs his chin in thought......*
Brent Anderson > Hmm....I think I saw this in a mimatarr bazzar a few months back on a cylinder that looked half chared and melted
Reinheart Novan > The image?
Brent Anderson > The emblem...
 Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote listens, her hands resting on the back of her chair with her chin on top.
Reinheart Novan > hmmm, do you recall where?
Brent Anderson > Galla something system in mimmatar space.....
Reinheart Novan > /emote lifts and taps that into his data pad
Brent Anderson > Sadly the booth with leatherwear next to it had my full attention

***Comment - about three/four separate arcs crossed in this, but it's a good a starting place as any for the main part of the story of the container. I may post separately Brent's story of which this was the last part. Reinheart is working on his own on his archeology. Some of the undercurrent of Luna's comments is based on her recent discovery during an argument with a friend that another mutual friend of theirs was a former Sani Sabik. Which will figure later....***

The Second Day at Emperor Family Station - Luna is stressed and gets drunk

[ 2014.07.30 23:54:09 ] EVE System > Channel MOTD: A surprisingly comfortable space in the Emperor Family Station in the Amarr system.The walls are paneled with dark wood. Periodically there are cross-hatched sections that serve to store wine bottles horizontally. The temperature is cool. There are multiple tables and booths with sumptious velvet red cushions. Stained glass lanterns and lights providing soft lighting. Each table has a wine & beverage list with a range of wines, ales, liquors and non-alcoholic drinks such as tea. A simple menu is also on each table that indicates that complimentary bread and assorted cheeses and fruits are provided to those who order by the bottle. Along one wall is a suit of golden armor with ceremonial sword and a tabard for the theology counsel that is cut for a femine figure along with a Picture. A square parquet dance floor is in the center of the room. The proprietor Vincentus Azizora and attentive wait staff are all baseliners.
[ 2014.07.31 01:31:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters and takes a seat at the bar.
[ 2014.07.31 02:29:09 ] Thal Vadam > /emote opens a small book and starts writing
[ 2014.07.31 02:33:02 ] Charity Black > /emote wonders in wearing her spaghetti strapped tank top and yoga pants. She's dressed in such a way that her middrift is showing. She is still wearing her slave collar and the tank top has Ibrahim's crest on it.
[ 2014.07.31 02:34:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is at the bar quietly working on her datapad and sipping from a glass of green colored wine.
[ 2014.07.31 02:36:37 ] Charity Black > /emote hums and heads back to the bar. She steps behind and takes a look at any open bottles, seeing if she can make a flight out of something
[ 2014.07.31 02:37:59 ] Thal Vadam > /emote closes book and moves over to the bar. "hello miss charity, what's the special today?"
[ 2014.07.31 02:39:17 ] Charity Black > /emote glances up and smiles wide "Not a clue."
[ 2014.07.31 02:40:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles "off duty?"
[ 2014.07.31 02:40:46 ] Thal Vadam > /emote smiles back "i'll just have a salad then, that is if this is your shift."
[ 2014.07.31 02:41:37 ] Charity Black > "Yes, ma'am. Even slaves get a day off." She hums and decides to get something from the wine cellar. She hollars back into the kitchen "There'
[ 2014.07.31 02:41:45 ] Charity Black > "There's a customer here."
[ 2014.07.31 02:47:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles involuntarily "I confess service is clower when you're not on duty"
[ 2014.07.31 02:50:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote polishes off her glass "well that was nice" and orders another from the baseliner waitstaff.
[ 2014.07.31 02:50:39 ] Charity Black > "A capsuleer should be good at something as simple as waitressing." she turns and a tatto ( https://2img.net/h/i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg163/Sweetsing/voluval.jpg ) can be seen on her left shoulder blade as she heads to the back and into the wine cellar
[ 2014.07.31 02:54:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote studies Charit with an appraising look and then accepts her new glass of wine.
[ 2014.07.31 02:56:05 ] Thal Vadam > /emote pulls out a tool, removes his glove, and starts working on his mechanical arm
[ 2014.07.31 02:56:49 ] Charity Black > /emote comes out with a bottle of white wine and pops the cork. She gets a glass and takes a seat at the bar "Luckily, my Holder upped my alcohol allowance" she beams
[ 2014.07.31 03:01:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her wine, looking at how the light refracts through it "Lord Tash-Murkon is generous"
[ 2014.07.31 03:01:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote mutters "Unless you owe him interest"
[ 2014.07.31 03:02:07 ] Charity Black > "Well, slaves can't own money, so that's moot for me." she grins as she pours herself a glass. She glances over to Thal "Did someone take your order?"
[ 2014.07.31 03:03:13 ] Thal Vadam > /emote opens a hatch on his arm "not yet miss charity, but i'm alright"
[ 2014.07.31 03:04:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that the baseliner staff will serve Thal as he needs from the basic wine and bar menu when Charity Black or Vincentus Azizora are not there.
[ 2014.07.31 03:04:21 ] Charity Black > /emote stares at the open arm and blinks "That's not going to leak oil or something, is it?"
[ 2014.07.31 03:05:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head with interest.
[ 2014.07.31 03:05:34 ] Thal Vadam > /emote chuckles "no, at least, it hasn't leaked yet"
[ 2014.07.31 03:06:35 ] Charity Black > "Well, if it does, I know who's going to be the one cleaning it up." she says surly
[ 2014.07.31 03:06:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote asks curiously "Prosthetic or robotic?"
[ 2014.07.31 03:07:15 ] Thal Vadam > /emote smiles "if it does, i'll clean it"
[ 2014.07.31 03:07:47 ] Thal Vadam > /emote looks to luna "robotic"
[ 2014.07.31 03:08:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Is it is specific to this clone or do all your clones have it?
[ 2014.07.31 03:08:24 ] Charity Black > /emote smells her wine and swirls it, looking at it "What's the difference?"
[ 2014.07.31 03:08:59 ] Thal Vadam > /emote closes hatch and moves fingers "they all have it"
[ 2014.07.31 03:10:56 ] Thal Vadam > /emote looks to charity "most i've seen have some way of looking like a regular arm, mine's metal components are exposed"
[ 2014.07.31 03:13:03 ] Charity Black > "I see." she says before taking a sip of the wine and setting the glass down
[ 2014.07.31 03:17:52 ] Thal Vadam > /emote opens a small book and writes a quick entry and closes the book
[ 2014.07.31 03:19:09 ] Charity Black > /emote decides that her wine is palatable and takes a good gulp
[ 2014.07.31 03:19:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Enjoying the wine Charity?
[ 2014.07.31 03:20:09 ] Charity Black > "It's actually pretty good for a medium priced wine. How's your tea?"
[ 2014.07.31 03:21:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh! This is Zyndrine Wine.
[ 2014.07.31 03:21:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It does look like tea doesn't it?
[ 2014.07.31 03:21:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles.
[ 2014.07.31 03:22:05 ] Charity Black > "I know." she gives Luna a slight look "But it's really more of a tea. Calling it wine is a . . . marketing move."
[ 2014.07.31 03:22:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks amused. "if you say so. Would you like a glass? I have 3/4 of a bottle left"
[ 2014.07.31 03:23:34 ] Charity Black > "No thanks. I've tried it before."
[ 2014.07.31 03:24:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "As you wish."
[ 2014.07.31 03:24:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It's pretty how the glass looks in the light'
[ 2014.07.31 03:24:55 ] Charity Black > "I try to make sure that I try something new every day."
[ 2014.07.31 03:25:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Curiosity?
[ 2014.07.31 03:25:54 ] Thal Vadam > /emote sips tea
[ 2014.07.31 03:26:01 ] Charity Black > "More to broaden my knowledge base."
[ 2014.07.31 03:26:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly "sensible. I assume you mean new wines every day then?
[ 2014.07.31 03:27:07 ] Charity Black > "Sometimes beer, or a cocktail."
[ 2014.07.31 03:28:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see. I am not much a fan of beer.. but any interesting new cocktails lately?
[ 2014.07.31 03:29:30 ] Charity Black > "Ever had a Hound on a Mission?"
[ 2014.07.31 03:31:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets a bemused look at the name "No I can't say I have"
[ 2014.07.31 03:32:02 ] Charity Black > "I guess in Amarr you might call it a Purified on a Mission." She takes another drink of her wine
[ 2014.07.31 03:32:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles.
[ 2014.07.31 03:32:39 ] Thal Vadam > "i've heard of that"
[ 2014.07.31 03:33:11 ] Charity Black > "Have you had one?"
[ 2014.07.31 03:33:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I have not.
[ 2014.07.31 03:33:54 ] Charity Black > (to Thal)
[ 2014.07.31 03:34:18 ] Thal Vadam > /emote shrugs "i've been around for a while, i might have once"
[ 2014.07.31 03:34:43 ] Charity Black > /emote glances to Luna "Want one?"
[ 2014.07.31 03:36:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote finishes her second glass of Zydrine.
[ 2014.07.31 03:36:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Sure.. why not. This wine is rather light on the senses"
[ 2014.07.31 03:37:41 ] Charity Black > /emote downs her glass and heads behind the bar "Mister Vadam, want one?"
[ 2014.07.31 03:38:03 ] Thal Vadam > yes please
[ 2014.07.31 03:40:21 ] Charity Black > /emote places three glasses on the bar and gets a bar spoon. She layers a coffee liqueur and then a cream liqueur and an orange liqueur before getting a high proof rum and floating that on top. She rumages behind the bar and find 3 metal straws.
[ 2014.07.31 03:41:19 ] Charity Black > /emote hands one to Luna and then to Thal. "Ready?"
[ 2014.07.31 03:42:33 ] Thal Vadam > /emote picks up the drink "i'm ready"
[ 2014.07.31 03:42:48 ] Charity Black > /emote baps Thal's hand "Not yet!"
[ 2014.07.31 03:42:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.07.31 03:42:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am ready.
[ 2014.07.31 03:43:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stares at the drink with interest.
[ 2014.07.31 03:43:23 ] Charity Black > "Oh shit. I mean, fuck. Sorry, sir. My mistake." She gulps
[ 2014.07.31 03:43:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her drink slowly.... savoring the tastes.
[ 2014.07.31 03:44:26 ] Thal Vadam > /emote smiles at charity "it's alright my friend"
[ 2014.07.31 03:44:54 ] Charity Black > /emote sighs and takes her drink and downs it in one gulp "Maybe some other time then."
[ 2014.07.31 03:45:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "mmm"
[ 2014.07.31 03:45:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head slightly as if clearing it, but is enjoying the flavor.
[ 2014.07.31 03:46:50 ] Charity Black > /emote puts the cork in the bottle and grabs another one from behind the bar and puts them into a bag
[ 2014.07.31 03:47:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well.. thish was a good drinksh Charity.
[ 2014.07.31 03:47:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks owlishly at Charity.
[ 2014.07.31 03:47:53 ] Charity Black > "Maybe next time you'll let me finish it first." She says and then heads out
[ 2014.07.31 03:48:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns to herself and looks at Thal.
[ 2014.07.31 03:50:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Templar Thal, did I missh Shomethin?
[ 2014.07.31 03:51:15 ] Thal Vadam > /emote sips tea "i'm not sure miss luna"
[ 2014.07.31 03:53:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Gosh.. this drink is really good though.
[ 2014.07.31 03:54:07 ] Thal Vadam > /emote raises an eyebrow "i'm sure it is"
[ 2014.07.31 03:54:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Are you going to try yoursh?
[ 2014.07.31 03:55:24 ] Thal Vadam > /emote picks up the drink and drinks it. "mmm, that ish good"
[ 2014.07.31 03:56:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Packs a punchsh... or maybe the wine didsh?
[ 2014.07.31 03:56:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks slightly confused.
[ 2014.07.31 03:58:58 ] Thal Vadam > /emote blinks "maybe both"
[ 2014.07.31 04:02:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slowly.. sipping her cocktail, not sure if she should gulp it or work her way down...
[ 2014.07.31 04:04:16 ] Thal Vadam > /emote blinks "haven't been drunk for a while"
[ 2014.07.31 04:05:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Drunksh? No.. just a little bit of a buzz.. yep.
[ 2014.07.31 04:06:12 ] Thal Vadam > /emote sips tea and breaths slowly
[ 2014.07.31 04:06:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote finishes her drink.
[ 2014.07.31 04:09:47 ] Thal Vadam > /emote finishes his drink
[ 2014.07.31 04:10:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets up and promptly falls off her bar stool.
[ 2014.07.31 04:10:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Eeep! Who moved the shashion floor?"
[ 2014.07.31 04:10:49 ] Thal Vadam > /emote jumbs off his seat and helps her up
[ 2014.07.31 04:11:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote get up slowly, shaking her head "How oddsh,.. thank you Templar"
[ 2014.07.31 04:11:53 ] Thal Vadam > do you need help getting home?
[ 2014.07.31 04:12:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > No no no... *waves off Thal* I'll be finesh.
[ 2014.07.31 04:13:15 ] Thal Vadam > "are you sure? your very drunk."
[ 2014.07.31 04:13:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks firmly at Thal and says very slowly "I..... am..... not.... drunk!"
[ 2014.07.31 04:14:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote hiccups.
[ 2014.07.31 04:14:58 ] Thal Vadam > /emote raises an eyebrow "i've been drunk before, your acting like i was"
[ 2014.07.31 04:15:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks sulkily at Thal and begins to turn, placing her hand on the bar.
[ 2014.07.31 04:17:06 ] Thal Vadam > "i just want to help luna"
[ 2014.07.31 04:18:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says demurely "thanksh you Templar" and begins to walk slowly and deliberatly to the door.. one foot in front of another.
[ 2014.07.31 04:18:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But I will be fine."
[ 2014.07.31 04:19:46 ] Thal Vadam > /emote sighs "at least take this" *offers a nanite injector
[ 2014.07.31 04:20:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote flinches, startled, and stumbles.
[ 2014.07.31 04:20:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "What is that?" *slightly alarmed*
[ 2014.07.31 04:21:50 ] Thal Vadam > "it's a medical injector i received from a friend, it's modified to combat large amounts of alcohol in the bloodstream"
[ 2014.07.31 04:22:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says in a strained voice, looking flushed and unsteady "thanksh you.. but i'd rather not."
[ 2014.07.31 04:22:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles politely at Thal.
[ 2014.07.31 04:22:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote makes her way out the bar rather unsteadily and exits.
[ 2014.07.31 04:23:21 ] Thal Vadam > /emote sighs and puts the injector in his pocket "be safe luna"

**Luna gets drunk and leaves the Holy Grape. What follows ensues**


[ 2014.08.12 01:25:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *Despite Templar Vadam's protestations and not trusting the nanite needle he waved about, Luna assures him she will be fine and leaves the Grape. Well.. staggers out of it really*
[ 2014.08.12 01:26:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *Lunarisse takes a very random and circitous route to the hangars and walks through the station towrong ship berth and sees it is the Packmule Omega*
[ 2014.08.12 01:27:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *With a slightly drunken smirk on her face, she makes her way into the ship and boards the Packmule Omega. Because Brent had given her permission previously to enter she walks right past the guards without a pause*
[ 2014.08.12 01:28:06 ] Brent Anderson > *The guards only do a brief scan of her and nod admitance*
[ 2014.08.12 01:28:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *At some point stumbles into Brent and is about to giving him a talking to when she passes out*
[ 2014.08.12 01:28:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *Lunarisse wakes up on a couch dressed with blanket covering her in a well apointed office with a glass of water and a small bottle of Headache pills on a plate on the coffee table in front of her*
[ 2014.08.12 01:30:02 ] Brent Anderson > *Brent sits behind his desk quietly working on something. The office has many painting and drawing on the walls....Lunariesse can see Brents touch in each of them.*
[ 2014.08.12 01:30:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rubs her eyes trying to focus.
[ 2014.08.12 01:31:09 ] Brent Anderson > *Sees the motion but just keeps working quietly not sure if she is truely waking up*
[ 2014.08.12 01:32:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs and stretches sitting up fully then wincing.
[ 2014.08.12 01:33:07 ] Brent Anderson > "Good morning...."*glances at the clock in the desk* "Or Afternoon if that matters to you Luna."
[ 2014.08.12 01:33:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote startles suddenly and glances at Brent and involuntarily tugs her outfit. She looks... confused and not fully alert yet.
[ 2014.08.12 01:34:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Brent?"
[ 2014.08.12 01:35:26 ] Brent Anderson > "Yes it is me and welcome aboard Packmule Omega."..*smiles at Luna* "Did you wish to contiune last nights.....disscussion or shall we hold it on pause for the moment?"
[ 2014.08.12 01:36:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks slightly, then collecting herself says with forced cheerfulness "Oh put it on pause"
[ 2014.08.12 01:36:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote has no idea what last's discussion was but is trying to skate by.
[ 2014.08.12 01:36:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "So.. what is this place? Your captain's quarters?"
[ 2014.08.12 01:37:52 ] Brent Anderson > "My office.....*points to a closed Door to the right of the desk* thats my quarters and more private areas."
[ 2014.08.12 01:38:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > A bit large. My captain's quarters is rather constrained with a broken door.
[ 2014.08.12 01:38:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose.
[ 2014.08.12 01:39:24 ] Brent Anderson > Well in a Providence class Freighter I do not lack for room.
[ 2014.08.12 01:40:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tenses slightly. "I am sure you don't" and glances right, then left.
[ 2014.08.12 01:40:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "This isn't your freighter is it?"
[ 2014.08.12 01:40:28 ] Brent Anderson > Yes it is..
[ 2014.08.12 01:42:53 ] Brent Anderson > *Presses a few controls and the holo screen lights up giving a holo schematic of the internal layout of the ship with a small glowing room in the middle of it blinking*
[ 2014.08.12 01:42:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote begins to get a slightly hunted look her eyes, but she visibly calms herself and gives a forced smile "it is lovely, i am sure. I must have gotten turned around walking with you last night."
[ 2014.08.12 01:44:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Care to show me the rest?
[ 2014.08.12 01:44:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles at Brent.
[ 2014.08.12 01:44:42 ] Brent Anderson > Certainly....What would you like to see first?
[ 2014.08.12 01:44:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances closely at the holo schematic, eyes lingering on the exits.
[ 2014.08.12 01:44:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "How about.. the museum you keep telling me about?"
[ 2014.08.12 01:45:57 ] Brent Anderson > Ah.... This way then....*Stands and goes to a door behind the couch and waits in the open doorway."*
[ 2014.08.12 01:46:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote begins to get up and winces.
[ 2014.08.12 01:46:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh.. my pardon Lord Anderson. I think I need a drink first.
[ 2014.08.12 01:46:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pops some pills and takes a sip of water.
[ 2014.08.12 01:46:59 ] Brent Anderson > Thats what the water and pills are for....Nasty looking Hangover you had.
[ 2014.08.12 01:47:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs "Yes... I sure do."
[ 2014.08.12 01:48:24 ] Brent Anderson > *waits for Luna to compose herself*
[ 2014.08.12 01:50:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Brent, then gets back up and gives a slight smile 'Well.. lead on!" with some bravado in her voice.
[ 2014.08.12 01:52:55 ] Brent Anderson > *leads Luna down the corridor with many people in crew suits greeting Brent in passing but in one moment Brent moves to the side and guestures for Luna to do the same as a pack of Childern thunder past in a gleeful mood*
[ 2014.08.12 01:54:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote slips to the side, and for the first time a genuine smile touches her lips.
[ 2014.08.12 01:54:55 ] Brent Anderson > *Shakes his head as they thunder past and then moves on down the corridor......ahead singing can be heard.....Hymms sung in Amarrian*
[ 2014.08.12 01:55:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote steps back into the corridor, lookng backwards.
[ 2014.08.12 01:55:55 ] Brent Anderson > "Well be passing the chapel if you wish to see it or we can see it later.....the childeren are practicing."
[ 2014.08.12 01:57:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh let's not disturb them. If they see the Lord of the ship they will get nervous.
[ 2014.08.12 01:57:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles at brent.
[ 2014.08.12 01:58:09 ] Brent Anderson > *Snorts* "I wish.....they just see me as something to play about most of the time."
[ 2014.08.12 01:58:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles involuntarily.
[ 2014.08.12 01:59:14 ] Brent Anderson > Besides they are practicing some Hymms I translated for them. its quiet moving....
[ 2014.08.12 01:59:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh, well in that case, why don't you show me. We can sit in the back"
[ 2014.08.12 02:00:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Brent.
[ 2014.08.12 02:01:26 ] Brent Anderson > *leads Luna to the chapel which is huge looking to seat 2,000 people at once just below the pulpit a group of childern 8-15 years old sing hymms under the lead of a priest*
[ 2014.08.12 02:02:36 ] Brent Anderson > *Brent calmly take a pew in a back corner where the children will most likely not see them*
[ 2014.08.12 02:04:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote scoots in next to Brent and looks at interest, listening.
[ 2014.08.12 02:04:28 ] Brent Anderson > The Children sing the Hymms for a bit in amarrian before they start what seems a new hymm but its sung in Galentae
[ 2014.08.12 02:06:14 ] Brent Anderson > *Brent whispers to Luna* "They're singing the same Hymm just in Galentae so it sounds different....but its the same meaning"
[ 2014.08.12 02:09:18 ] Brent Anderson > *Brent just closes his eyes and just gets swept up in the singing*
[ 2014.08.12 02:12:20 ] Brent Anderson > *After a time the childern start singing the Hymm in Caldari.*
[ 2014.08.12 02:13:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Brent, listening, a little bemused looking.
[ 2014.08.12 02:16:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Why, brent?
[ 2014.08.12 02:17:38 ] Brent Anderson > Because you can spread the faith better if you talk to them in there own language....if they hear the hymms of faith sung with joy and faith in them the words carry the sound but the singing carries the soul of it.,
[ 2014.08.12 02:18:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly, not disapproving. "Ok.. I can see the logic in it. But... you have Gallente, Caldari on this ship?"
[ 2014.08.12 02:18:53 ] Brent Anderson > "Yes and Amarrian and Minmatar."
[ 2014.08.12 02:20:00 ] Brent Anderson > Is the faith for just Amarrian alone or for all mankind?
[ 2014.08.12 02:20:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Of course, the Faith is entrusted with the Amarr as a deposit for all mankind.
[ 2014.08.12 02:20:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But.. it is unusual to have such a diverse ship/.
[ 2014.08.12 02:20:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is still speaking low so as not to disrupt the choir.
[ 2014.08.12 02:22:07 ] Brent Anderson > *the choir start singing in Minmatar.....the words seem coarse and rough when spoken but when sung seem to lose their edge*
[ 2014.08.12 02:24:18 ] Brent Anderson > I have been to many worlds in my travels.....Some joined because I was a job...others just to escape a past.....I judge them not for I do not know them till that moment and let them choose to show who they are to me.
[ 2014.08.12 02:25:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "I see" and somewhat cattily adds "I am sure your security must be thrilled with that" but then almost as hastily adds "my pardon, that was uncalled for."
[ 2014.08.12 02:25:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets quiet, listening to the minmatar singing, twitching slightly.
[ 2014.08.12 02:26:42 ] Brent Anderson > The choir comes to a end with the children all giggling and smiles and the priest thanks them all and shoos them out of the chapel..
[ 2014.08.12 02:27:31 ] Brent Anderson > "Yes I have made adjustments to that after the events you got caught up in and for that I am sorry if it distressed you."
[ 2014.08.12 02:28:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly and simply says "Good.'
[ 2014.08.12 02:28:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances the children leaving the chapel.
[ 2014.08.12 02:29:33 ] Brent Anderson > *one little girl of 8 sees them and approaches* "Mr. Anderson....is she your Girlfriend?" asks the child without a hint of guile in her face just curiosity.*
[ 2014.08.12 02:30:30 ] Brent Anderson > *Brent goes a little Red and sputters "No Alice just a friend visiting the ship is all."
[ 2014.08.12 02:30:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles in amusement "Precocious aren't they?"
[ 2014.08.12 02:31:15 ] Brent Anderson > "To the max."
[ 2014.08.12 02:31:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles and glances over the empty chapel "Thank you for sharing that with me. Do you have time still for the Museum?"
[ 2014.08.12 02:32:22 ] Brent Anderson > *Brent Stands and offers his hand.."Of course I do."*
[ 2014.08.12 02:34:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes Brent's hand as she gets up from the pew, then releases it.
[ 2014.08.12 02:36:40 ] Brent Anderson > *leads Luna back out into the hallways and walks for a bit till they reach a section of the ship that has many displays of various things.....and hallways branching off showing more items. the central items seems to be a early copy of the Pax.*
[ 2014.08.12 02:38:00 ] Brent Anderson > *The ancient book is under glass and protected but a Holographic copy floats right before it where people can reach it. and use it*
[ 2014.08.12 02:39:26 ] Brent Anderson > *beyond the book a hallway arch just reads 'Faith'*
[ 2014.08.12 02:40:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is looking carefully as she follows past Brent. Whether at or for specific things or just in general isn't clear.
[ 2014.08.12 02:41:59 ] Brent Anderson > *Brent walks past the book towards the hallway of faith* "I think you may like my works of art in here"*
[ 2014.08.12 02:43:54 ] Brent Anderson > *Beyond the archway dozens of paintings all who depicit a figure in Armor with face covering helm doing various things. In one painting the central one seems to be a near copy of the one in the grape save no face is shown*
[ 2014.08.12 02:44:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote studies the paintings closely.
[ 2014.08.12 02:46:36 ] Brent Anderson > *In another the figure is handing food and water to the hungry.....in another they figure is giving comfort ease to a dying man....Another shows the figure helping to place stones for a home... *
[ 2014.08.12 02:46:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at the paintings with a pale expression on her face, nodding slightly as Brent speaks.
[ 2014.08.12 02:48:35 ] Brent Anderson > *Another shows the figure ready to fight with pair of children hiding behind her....another show the shield being used to give cover from the elements to a family.....painting after painting the figure seems to be doing good a godly things*
[ 2014.08.12 02:49:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Who is this Saint?
[ 2014.08.12 02:51:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly, standing a little stiff.
[ 2014.08.12 02:51:40 ] Brent Anderson > That depends on who you ask.....to me its everyone who has faith they become the saint and do what needs to be done.
[ 2014.08.12 02:52:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly "an interesting perspective and one that I believe my colleagues at SFRIM would endorse"
[ 2014.08.12 02:53:34 ] Brent Anderson > SRRIM?
[ 2014.08.12 02:53:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Brent "have you been talking with Director Mithra? She does tend to proselytize her view of the different ways to reclaim.
[ 2014.08.12 02:53:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The Society. My corporation.
[ 2014.08.12 02:54:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the paintings again including the near copy of the painting in the grape.
[ 2014.08.12 02:54:40 ] Brent Anderson > Um.....I have not really spoken to anyone in your corporation
[ 2014.08.12 02:55:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "hmm. Perhaps you should", then straightens up "What gave you the idea for this montage.. Lord Anderson?"
[ 2014.08.12 02:56:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances about the gallery, lingering on the exits, then the paintings of the figure.
[ 2014.08.12 02:57:08 ] Brent Anderson > *Brent Shrugs*....."Dreams mostly...I just wake with the images buring in the mind and my fingers needing to bring them to life so to speak."
[ 2014.08.12 02:57:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods with a slight smile.
[ 2014.08.12 02:58:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "preach thee as love knows how with virtuous words and kindly acts"?
[ 2014.08.12 03:00:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I've meditated on how the reclaiming might work better....
[ 2014.08.12 03:00:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs glancing at the paintings. "The Empress at least seems to be seeking other avenues for now"
[ 2014.08.12 03:00:55 ] Brent Anderson > I have one painting left in here I finished it two nights ago.....
[ 2014.08.12 03:01:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see. I'd like to see it.
[ 2014.08.12 03:03:14 ] Brent Anderson > *leads her to the back of the archway to a small room with the painting taking up the entire wall.....Showing ships of Amarr bringing food and needed things to the masses beneath them....Paladins guard the people beneath and keep them safe while
[ 2014.08.12 03:04:53 ] Brent Anderson > battleships and cruisers watch the skies. the people beneath seem to be all the races....Caldari, Amarrian, Galeante and Minmatar.....The figure is in the painting to.....Paladins seem to be listening to their directions.
[ 2014.08.12 03:05:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote lingers glancing back at the first set of paintings, then follows Brent.
[ 2014.08.12 03:08:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses studying the paintings.
[ 2014.08.12 03:08:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And what are these about, Lord Anderson?"
[ 2014.08.12 03:11:35 ] Brent Anderson > "These......*pauses as if weighing something in the mind*.....these paintings are the golden Armada.....not one of conquest but of protection of aid and succor to all even ones we called enemies"
[ 2014.08.12 03:12:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Brent "An interesting fantasy" then shifts to lean on one leg.
[ 2014.08.12 03:13:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I knew a Holder like you once. Did I ever tell you what happened to him?
[ 2014.08.12 03:13:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is looking pale and unsteady, perhaps from the hangover.
[ 2014.08.12 03:13:48 ] Brent Anderson > no.....but with how many in the empire are I could guess how they got......treated with.
[ 2014.08.12 03:14:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It was not the Empire that "treated" him, Lord Anderson *somewhat sharply but still conversational*
[ 2014.08.12 03:15:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances to the side of Brent's face, not making eye contact "When I was in enforcement, we were assigned to put down a slave rebellion."
[ 2014.08.12 03:17:21 ] Brent Anderson > That does not sound pleasant.
[ 2014.08.12 03:17:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "He told us to stand down. That at heart, they wanted the same things we wanted. That they could be reasoned with."
[ 2014.08.12 03:18:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "he asked us to stay while he approached them. They were in a fire circle surrounding a Shaman who was exhorting them over something."
[ 2014.08.12 03:18:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They chanted and raised their clubs in a dance. But he approached the circle, with no weapons and arms out."
[ 2014.08.12 03:18:53 ] Brent Anderson > "And they beat him to death."
[ 2014.08.12 03:18:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "He said to them 'I come in peace' and bowed slightly."
[ 2014.08.12 03:19:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > No, they did not beat him to death.
[ 2014.08.12 03:19:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > They lowered their clubs which were flechette rifles and riddled him with needles.
[ 2014.08.12 03:19:50 ] Brent Anderson > How the hell did the get Flechette rifles?
[ 2014.08.12 03:19:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs. "it is a beautiful fantasy Lord Anderson"
[ 2014.08.12 03:20:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs "A trusted house slave had the codes to the armory. The local Holder was also too trusting"
[ 2014.08.12 03:20:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I think there is a time and place for..."
[ 2014.08.12 03:20:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gestures at the painting.
[ 2014.08.12 03:20:58 ] Brent Anderson > True it is a fantasy.....but is it wrong to dream for better? to hope for better....to have Faith in better?
[ 2014.08.12 03:20:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But there are times and places where it.. just won't work"
[ 2014.08.12 03:21:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks sadly at brent. "Of course not, as long as you don't let it mislead you to reality"
[ 2014.08.12 03:22:22 ] Brent Anderson > *Nods* "a slaverhoud that has been mistreated every day of its life will still take the face off the kindly one who opened its cage because it knows nothing of the kindness becaues it was never taught it."
[ 2014.08.12 03:25:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2014.08.12 03:25:19 ] Brent Anderson > I shall take your advice to heart Luna.....I will not be your fallen Holder......
[ 2014.08.12 03:25:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Good. One shouldn't let idealism blind one's self.
[ 2014.08.12 03:26:14 ] Brent Anderson > Blind faith is one thing but I like know where I put my feet when I walk
[ 2014.08.12 03:26:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the paintings and the figure. She pauses as if about to ask something directly, but instead glances at brent "Thank you for the tour. I really think I should be going now I think"
[ 2014.08.12 03:27:47 ] Brent Anderson > *I am most pleased with the visit you are welcome anytime to visit again...*
[ 2014.08.12 03:28:28 ] Brent Anderson > I shall also lead you to the docking ports...*guestures for luna to follow him*
[ 2014.08.12 03:28:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Brent and follows.
[ 2014.08.12 03:29:29 ] Brent Anderson > *Leads Luna off his ship and this encounter enters history*

The Third and Last Day at Emperor Family Station

Location: The Holy Grape. A surprisingly comfortable space in the Emperor Family Station in the Amarr system.The walls are paneled with dark wood. Periodically there are cross-hatched sections that serve to store wine bottles horizontally. The temperature is cool. There are multiple tables and booths with sumptious velvet red cushions. Stained glass lanterns and lights providing soft lighting. Each table has a wine & beverage list with a range of wines, ales, liquors and non-alcoholic drinks such as tea. A simple menu is also on each table that indicates that complimentary bread and assorted cheeses and fruits are provided to those who order by the bottle. Along one wall is a suit of golden armor with ceremonial sword and a tabard for the theology counsel that is cut for a femine figure along with a Picture. A square parquet dance floor is in the center of the room. The proprietor Vincentus Azizora and attentive wait staff are all baseliners.
[ 2014.08.04 00:38:21 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote makes her way in, orders a sweet white and leans back in a booth.
[ 2014.08.04 00:49:04 ] Eternal Guardian > /emote enters the Grape in his usual ornate cloak, hood up, followed closely by Rhoxy. he approaches Erin's table and gives Erin a bow. "Good evening, Contessa, How are you fairing?"
[ 2014.08.04 00:52:04 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote smiles "Evening, have a seat, have a seat." she says
[ 2014.08.04 00:52:16 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote follows Guardian's lead and bows similarly, enrobed in her bright sweater coat, contrasting with Guardian's own robes. (( https://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/5134970/il_570xN.229240601.jpg ))
[ 2014.08.04 00:54:48 ] Eternal Guardian > /emote allows Rhoxy into the booth beside the contessa and then slides in himself after her. he orders for himself a warm mead.
[ 2014.08.04 00:55:32 ] Erin Savonarola > "So, what brings you two to the Grape?"
[ 2014.08.04 00:57:40 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote orders her usual overly ornate quafe float. "We're celebrating." she beams, "new opportunities and successes!"
[ 2014.08.04 00:58:41 ] Erin Savonarola > "Oh, what opportunity is that?"
[ 2014.08.04 01:01:41 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote looks to her father, and then back to Erin, "I've recently settled into a new system with lots of untouched belts, and a cometitive manufacturing landscape. all thanks to the suggestions of Captain Aspenstar." she explains as revrently as possibl...
[ 2014.08.04 01:01:47 ] Thal Vadam > /emote enters the establishment and moves to his normal spot in the back
[ 2014.08.04 01:03:41 ] Erin Savonarola > "Oh. Well then, congratulations. I wish you much success."
[ 2014.08.04 01:04:01 ] Eternal Guardian > /emote nods, "And not only that, the refining arrays within the area are top of the line. It will give her an edge in the marketplace."
[ 2014.08.04 01:05:19 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, I'm afraid that I don't know much about those things, but it sounds impressive."
[ 2014.08.04 01:06:49 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote smiles, running her hands over the different fabrics of her dress while she waits for her drink. "Contessa di le Solfete, Are you going to have something to eat?"
[ 2014.08.04 01:09:53 ] Erin Savonarola > "Just contessa will be fine, my dear" she says gently "And I'm not sure if I am going to be eating here or elsewhere. I do know that I am going to be drinking." she smiles and gestures to her wine bottle
[ 2014.08.04 01:12:25 ] Eternal Guardian > /emote silently peruses the menu. "you are invited to join us for a meal, if you so wish. It is not often we eat out, and rarer still with company."
[ 2014.08.04 01:13:58 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, when you put it like that, I believe that I will eat."
[ 2014.08.04 01:16:54 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote glances at the menu "How's the Lobster Bisque here?"
[ 2014.08.04 01:17:51 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote looks for the soups on her own menu, "Like clam chowder, but orange, and a bit more spicy."
[ 2014.08.04 01:20:11 ] Erin Savonarola > "I meant, is it good?"
[ 2014.08.04 01:20:38 ] Rhoxy Runekin > "oh. yes!"
[ 2014.08.04 01:20:43 ] Thal Vadam > /emote glances over "i enjoy it"
[ 2014.08.04 01:27:25 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, we'll start with that then. It's made from fresh lobster, yes?"
[ 2014.08.04 01:27:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters, notices the dinner party, and takes a seat at the bar not too far away.
[ 2014.08.04 01:28:15 ] Rhoxy Runekin > "Luna!" she calls out, for the moment forgetting herself.
[ 2014.08.04 01:28:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote waggles her fingers in greeting.
[ 2014.08.04 01:29:17 ] Eternal Guardian > /emote smiles to himself. "I'll have the house salad to start then." he adds, turning to the entres.
[ 2014.08.04 01:31:28 ] Erin Savonarola > "Luna, if you don't come sit with us, I will take it personally."
[ 2014.08.04 01:32:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes and moves over to join the group
[ 2014.08.04 01:32:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Hello all of you"
[ 2014.08.04 01:33:21 ] Eternal Guardian > "Good Evening, Luna."
[ 2014.08.04 01:33:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a seat. "I'll have whatever the rest of you are having"
[ 2014.08.04 01:34:03 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote smiles, "one of each, or..."
[ 2014.08.04 01:34:06 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, I don't know what I am having yes, aside from the soup." she smiles
[ 2014.08.04 01:34:42 ] Erin Savonarola > "Oh, so that catgirl I purchased has been asking about you, Lunarisse. She's wondering when you're going to come back."
[ 2014.08.04 01:35:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "I'd like to visit and see how my garden is coming. I need to do a low sec retrieval first so it may be a few days..."
[ 2014.08.04 01:36:36 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote decides on potato skins.
[ 2014.08.04 01:36:46 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, it seems to be coming along fine. I was up in the atrium the other day with Darina and everything is blooming and wonderful."
[ 2014.08.04 01:39:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Sister Darina?
[ 2014.08.04 01:39:34 ] Erin Savonarola > "Mhmm."
[ 2014.08.04 01:41:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *blithely* A Blessed Woman. We need more Space Nuns.
[ 2014.08.04 01:42:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > So what is the occasion?
[ 2014.08.04 01:42:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles warmly at those at the table.
[ 2014.08.04 01:43:15 ] Erin Savonarola > "Yes, indeed-oh, well, I was just here, for a drink after meeting with my soliciter in Dam-Torsad, again."
[ 2014.08.04 01:45:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.08.04 01:46:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And you, Guardian and Rhoxy?"
[ 2014.08.04 01:47:27 ] Rhoxy Runekin > "we are celebrating!" she repeats. "New succeses in new systems."
[ 2014.08.04 01:47:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "Good. I hope the move in operations has worked out for you?"
[ 2014.08.04 01:48:58 ] Rhoxy Runekin > "very smooth. and everyone is so friendly!"
[ 2014.08.04 01:49:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles, pleased.
[ 2014.08.04 01:50:38 ] Erin Savonarola > "So, Lunarisse, I got the new catalogue from Stermwinners."
[ 2014.08.04 01:51:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote orders a tea and glances at Erin.
[ 2014.08.04 01:52:00 ] Erin Savonarola > "No catgirls in this one." she giggles
[ 2014.08.04 01:52:52 ] Eternal Guardian > /emote listens quietly, trying to decide if he wants meat or fish.
[ 2014.08.04 01:55:49 ] Erin Savonarola > "Which is a good thing. If they were common, I would probably sell mine."
[ 2014.08.04 01:56:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles wryly
[ 2014.08.04 01:57:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I may have a new exhibit for you Erin. The Abbess asked me to pick up an art collection in low security space.
[ 2014.08.04 01:57:37 ] Erin Savonarola > "Oh?"
[ 2014.08.04 01:57:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.08.04 01:58:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She was very tight lipped. Onlyi ndicated that it was time to have it placed in a new Home. She asked me if I new of any respectable museums.
[ 2014.08.04 01:58:52 ] Erin Savonarola > "What is it of?"
[ 2014.08.04 01:59:58 ] Thal Vadam > /emote picks up his sword and begins moving to the exit
[ 2014.08.04 02:00:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The Abbess wouldn't tell me.
[ 2014.08.04 02:00:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She was quite mysterious about it, And she told me not to peek!
[ 2014.08.04 02:00:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks vaguely insulted.
[ 2014.08.04 02:00:50 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, I'll need to take a look before I display it."
[ 2014.08.04 02:01:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "I'd expect that. I'll let you know when i return to Amarr with it,.. or I could plan my flight path to go past Nova Carra.
[ 2014.08.04 02:01:49 ] Erin Savonarola > "Just go straight there, if you would."
[ 2014.08.04 02:02:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.08.04 02:06:52 ] Erin Savonarola > "I'll be there for a few days. I have Arline at the hospital there and then I made an agreement to purchase some Starkmanir, ahem, seed, and am going to hopefully be, well, you get the idea."
[ 2014.08.04 02:07:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Praetorian Arline is in the Hospital?
[ 2014.08.04 02:07:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks.
[ 2014.08.04 02:07:24 ] Erin Savonarola > "Nothing to worry about."
[ 2014.08.04 02:08:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see.
[ 2014.08.04 02:09:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote finishes her tea and smiles.
[ 2014.08.04 02:09:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. I suppose I need to go to the Station Quartermaster's and make sure my new Blockade Runner is fitted and ready to go."
[ 2014.08.04 02:10:08 ] Erin Savonarola > *A man comes and delivers to Erin a leather folder with a bow before departing. She puts it down on the table "Oh, you won't join us for dinner?"
[ 2014.08.04 02:13:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I'd be happy to. thank you.
[ 2014.08.04 02:13:54 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote glances to the other two "So, what looks good to you?"
[ 2014.08.04 02:14:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I'll have a salad.
[ 2014.08.04 02:17:53 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote glances to Eternal and Rhoxy
[ 2014.08.04 02:21:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You ordered the bisque I believe?
[ 2014.08.04 02:22:12 ] Erin Savonarola > "Oh, well, I ordered the lobster bisque for an appitizer. But, I am not sure what to get for a main course."
[ 2014.08.04 02:22:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I am on a diet so the Salad will be fine. A bit too much time in the pod and not enough exercise."
[ 2014.08.04 02:23:04 ] Thal Vadam > /emote glances over "i enjoy the ribs"
[ 2014.08.04 02:23:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkes her nose."
[ 2014.08.04 02:23:54 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, I work out several times a day." she smiles "So, I want something a bit more substantial than a salad."
[ 2014.08.04 02:24:47 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote closes her menu difinitively, "I shall have the steak."
[ 2014.08.04 02:27:29 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, I mean, that's tempting. Though, I think I would rather have the swordfish."\
[ 2014.08.04 02:28:34 ] Eternal Guardian > /emote nods, "I was just looking at that myself. Indeed, quite tempting. I haven't had anything out of any ocean in some time."
[ 2014.08.04 02:29:18 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote smiles as the soups are delived by the staff. "Ah, now this looks good."
[ 2014.08.04 02:32:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods politely.
[ 2014.08.04 02:33:23 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote stuffs a potatoe skin in her mouth happily, taking a sip from her float.
[ 2014.08.04 02:34:12 ] Erin Savonarola > "You should teach your daughter to drink wine, like a good Amarr."
[ 2014.08.04 02:34:27 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote speaks in a gentle playful voice
[ 2014.08.04 02:34:49 ] Eternal Guardian > God knows, I have tried.
[ 2014.08.04 02:34:49 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote makes a face.
[ 2014.08.04 02:36:29 ] Erin Savonarola > "You don't like wine, Rhoxanne?"
[ 2014.08.04 02:37:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote begins to eat her soup, and accidently slurps.
[ 2014.08.04 02:37:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes and murmers "My pardon'
[ 2014.08.04 02:37:56 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote shakes her head, no. "It makes me sleepy, and I'm not a fan of the flavor. i prefer my grape juice fresh, not several centuries old."
[ 2014.08.04 02:38:43 ] Erin Savonarola > "Centuries?" she snerks, ignoring Luna's slurping. "This wine is, well, maybe only a few years old."
[ 2014.08.04 02:40:54 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote eats another skin. "still. I'm just not a fan. i prefer my drinks fruity, and fizy, and sweet."
[ 2014.08.04 02:41:37 ] Erin Savonarola > "You have not had Moscato, have you." She hands her glass to Rhoxanne "Try this. Fruity, fizzy and sweet."
[ 2014.08.04 02:42:52 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote looks to her father for aknowledgement, and then inhales it, rolls the glass a little, takes a small sip.
[ 2014.08.04 02:44:17 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote looks at Rhoxanne, waiting
[ 2014.08.04 02:44:46 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote frowns and hands the glass back, picking up her own. "there's just something else there. another really sharp taste i don't like."
[ 2014.08.04 02:45:54 ] Eternal Guardian > /emote sips his mead. "The alcohol, maybe? here do you taste it here?" he asks, offering her his mug.
[ 2014.08.04 02:49:35 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, if she doesn't like alcohol, how ever am I going to get her in bed?" she says with a straight face
[ 2014.08.04 02:49:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers quietly "Erin!"
[ 2014.08.04 02:50:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head and sips her tea with amusement.
[ 2014.08.04 02:50:21 ] Erin Savonarola > "Yes?" she says innocently
[ 2014.08.04 02:52:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh nothing *slightly exasperated sigh*
[ 2014.08.04 02:52:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote finishes off her soup.
[ 2014.08.04 02:56:23 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote eeps,a nd quickly stuffs her cheeks with the rest of her potato skins.
[ 2014.08.04 02:56:38 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, how was the mead?"
[ 2014.08.04 02:56:53 ] Eternal Guardian > Delicious as always.
[ 2014.08.04 02:57:26 ] Erin Savonarola > "I was asking your daughter, my dear Eternal."
[ 2014.08.04 02:58:16 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote can't talk at the moment with her mouth full of spuds, cheese, and bacon.
[ 2014.08.04 02:58:49 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote blinks at Rhoxy "My god" she giggles madly "She looks like a chipmonk."
[ 2014.08.04 02:59:30 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote blushes and tries to wash it down quickly.
[ 2014.08.04 02:59:54 ] Eternal Guardian > "chew your food, daughter." guardian says softly.
[ 2014.08.04 03:02:45 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote smirks and opens her folder, looking at the paper inside. She grins wide. "Well, that's good news." she says before closing the folder and putting it back down
[ 2014.08.04 03:08:49 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote swallows with a pant, "the mead was sweeeter. but not better."
[ 2014.08.04 03:09:30 ] Erin Savonarola > "So, not one for alcohol?"
[ 2014.08.04 03:10:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles with satisfacton as the waitress comes out with the main courses.
[ 2014.08.04 03:11:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > ((time passes and we're at dessert!!!))
[ 2014.08.04 03:11:35 ] Erin Savonarola > "I notice that cute little Brutor is not here. Lord Ibrahim gets a capsuleer slave and puts her to work in a bar." she sighs "I wonder if he'd sell her to me and for how much."
[ 2014.08.04 03:12:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh it might not be her shift, Erin.
[ 2014.08.04 03:12:53 ] botros > /emote enters wearing a high collared Caldari-style uniform devoid of corporate insignia. He surveys the room with a calm calculating demeanor.
[ 2014.08.04 03:13:41 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, you know about her. Think I have a shot at buying her? I need one for my collection."
[ 2014.08.04 03:13:52 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote plans on which ice creams to have in her sundae, pouring over the list again and again as she remembers different flavors and wonders if they have them.
[ 2014.08.04 03:14:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Erin, Lord Tash Murkon is almost as rich as the Empress.
[ 2014.08.04 03:14:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > He does not need isk.
[ 2014.08.04 03:14:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Botros with an appraising eye.
[ 2014.08.04 03:14:59 ] botros > /emote picks up a wine menu from the nearest empty table.
[ 2014.08.04 03:15:21 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, there must be something he wants that I can trade."
[ 2014.08.04 03:16:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote 's eyes glance at Botros's hands, briefly.
[ 2014.08.04 03:17:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well.. why don't you talk with him Erin? I don't know his interests...
[ 2014.08.04 03:17:52 ] botros > /emote orders a spiced white wine "something bright" from the staff and turns to assess the capsuleers present.
[ 2014.08.04 03:18:40 ] Thal Vadam > /emote eyes botros from the corner
[ 2014.08.04 03:18:56 ] Eternal Guardian > "Contessa, I was under the impression you already had every bloodline under the sun."
[ 2014.08.04 03:19:37 ] Erin Savonarola > "Oh. It's not about bloodline. I don't have a capsuleer slave. One of the few pieces my collection is missing."
[ 2014.08.04 03:20:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote 's eyes look back up, not having seen a ring and she continues talking to Erin while keeping a distracted eye on the newcomer.
[ 2014.08.04 03:21:39 ] Eternal Guardian > /emote looks up at Erin, "One would imagine a capsuleer would be difficult to hold onto."
[ 2014.08.04 03:22:06 ] Erin Savonarola > "There are ways." she says softly
[ 2014.08.04 03:22:38 ] botros > /emote receives his glass of wine and immediately orders another without tasting it.
[ 2014.08.04 03:23:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote orders a dessert wine.
[ 2014.08.04 03:23:12 ] botros > /emote turns to the other capsuleers and raises his glass. "To the health of her Holiness, long may she reign."
[ 2014.08.04 03:23:34 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote raises her glass "The Empress."
[ 2014.08.04 03:23:41 ] Thal Vadam > /emote raises his glass "hail"
[ 2014.08.04 03:23:47 ] Eternal Guardian > /emote raises his mug, "Umbassa."
[ 2014.08.04 03:23:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote raises her glass "Long may she Reign"
[ 2014.08.04 03:24:01 ] botros > /emote drinks his wine.
[ 2014.08.04 03:24:25 ] Thal Vadam > /emote drinks his wine
[ 2014.08.04 03:24:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her wine and murmers to Erin "For a Caldari he is quite smooth."
[ 2014.08.04 03:25:05 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote nods a tiny bit. "But, I've been looking for a capsuleer slave for a while and Lunarisse steadfastly refuses to sell me her daughter."
[ 2014.08.04 03:25:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chokes on her wine.
[ 2014.08.04 03:25:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote splutters "Erin?!?!"
[ 2014.08.04 03:25:35 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote giggles
[ 2014.08.04 03:27:28 ] Erin Savonarola > "You're so easy to tease, my dear."
[ 2014.08.04 03:27:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes and looks with interest at the colors of her wine glass.
[ 2014.08.04 03:28:10 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote 's eyes light up as the large tray of desserts emerges from the kitchen.
[ 2014.08.04 03:28:13 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote turns to Eternal "Rhoxanne is not for sale, is she?"
[ 2014.08.04 03:29:22 ] Eternal Guardian > /emote puts his mug down, "You would take the only daughter, of this lonely soul?" he asks her in a tone that is both pleading and forceful. hood mostly hiding his face.
[ 2014.08.04 03:29:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose, seeing only all the assembled calories and involuntarily checks her figure.
[ 2014.08.04 03:30:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smooths her dress and glances at Erin and Guardian "May I be excused? I think I see a potential businessman I should introduce myself to."
[ 2014.08.04 03:30:26 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote softens "Twas only a joke, dear sir."
[ 2014.08.04 03:30:37 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote nods to Luna
[ 2014.08.04 03:30:43 ] botros > /emote sips his wine, politely ignoring the other conversation.
[ 2014.08.04 03:32:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets up from the table, and makes her way over the bar, putting on a brightly cheerful face.
[ 2014.08.04 03:34:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *cheerily to Botros* Pardon me, Sir. But I noticed you seem to be a new face. My name is Miss Lunarisse Aspenstar. *slightly curtsey as she makes her way to the bar*
[ 2014.08.04 03:35:37 ] botros > /emote stands from his seat, and returns a slight bow. He responds in fluent Amarrad. "Good evening, I am Botros."
[ 2014.08.04 03:35:42 ] Eternal Guardian > /emote smiles, "I wish you luck on your endeavor though, COntessa, I hear the daughter market is a small one."
[ 2014.08.04 03:36:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods fractionally with approval as she hears "I see you are familiar with us. Do you mind if I take a seat, Sir?"
[ 2014.08.04 03:36:54 ] botros > Please, good wine should never be enjoyed in solitude.
[ 2014.08.04 03:37:24 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote waves her hand. "Not to worry. I'm sure that before I die, I will have a capsuleer slave." she smiles "If you both will excuse me, I need to return home."
[ 2014.08.04 03:37:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles faintly and takes a seat, holding her dessert wine glass with one hand.
[ 2014.08.04 03:38:27 ] botros > /emote returns to his seat and takes a sip of his wine.
[ 2014.08.04 03:39:04 ] botros > A client recommended this place to me. The wine is very good.
[ 2014.08.04 03:39:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "it is an excellent place. It also has a Sommelier, but I believe she is off shift today."
[ 2014.08.04 03:39:56 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote frowns, "Farewell contessa."
[ 2014.08.04 03:39:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > What brings you to the Golden spires of Emperor Family Station? *friendly smile*
[ 2014.08.04 03:40:22 ] botros > The employee who helped me did their job adiquately. This glass is what i wanted.
[ 2014.08.04 03:40:30 ] botros > I work here, madam.
[ 2014.08.04 03:40:32 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote collects her folder and departs with her bodyguards
[ 2014.08.04 03:40:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Here? at the Station *blinks a little with surprise then collects herself*
[ 2014.08.04 03:41:11 ] botros > Officially, yes.
[ 2014.08.04 03:41:34 ] Thal Vadam > /emote smiles and shakes his head
[ 2014.08.04 03:41:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her wine "In what Capacity?"
[ 2014.08.04 03:42:16 ] botros > I'm a market analyst. Now that that's out of the way. I'm an otherwise indepedant capsuleer.
[ 2014.08.04 03:43:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods thoughtfully.
[ 2014.08.04 03:44:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I see. Analyzing mineral and ore prices and other things?"
[ 2014.08.04 03:44:19 ] botros > /emote smiles. "And other things."
[ 2014.08.04 03:44:30 ] botros > Namely, everything.
[ 2014.08.04 03:45:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh. Interesting. *leans forward, her elbows on the bar, looking utterly fascinated*
[ 2014.08.04 03:46:59 ] botros > It's not that impressive madam, I export a report to my megacorporation daily and then I'm free do what I will. It takes five minutes, and then I'm about my own business.
[ 2014.08.04 03:47:23 ] botros > I've made Domain my home.
[ 2014.08.04 03:47:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see. We don't have too many Caldari who take that next step.
[ 2014.08.04 03:47:51 ] botros > Which is?
[ 2014.08.04 03:47:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her wine. "Most seem to come and do business and eventually rotate out."
[ 2014.08.04 03:48:05 ] botros > Ah
[ 2014.08.04 03:48:11 ] botros > no, I live here.
[ 2014.08.04 03:49:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "A pleasure to make your acquaintance. Do you freelance your market skills or are you under a restrictive covenant agreement with your corporation?"
[ 2014.08.04 03:49:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I... do a great deal of trade,industry.. and other things.
[ 2014.08.04 03:50:59 ] botros > My capsuleer business is independant of my obligations to my megacorporate sponsors, though they take a slight percentage.
[ 2014.08.04 03:51:17 ] botros > I manage the wealth of a half dozen or so capsuleers.
[ 2014.08.04 03:51:34 ] botros > They do well, I make them do better.
[ 2014.08.04 03:52:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see.
[ 2014.08.04 03:52:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > May I send you my contact information? I think we may have some mutually beneficial interests I'd like to discus... further.
[ 2014.08.04 03:52:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar gives Botros her warmest smile.
[ 2014.08.04 03:52:57 ] botros > Of course!
[ 2014.08.04 03:53:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar pulls out her datapad and hits a few keys, sending Botros her Electronic Business Card and Neocomm coordinates.
[ 2014.08.04 03:53:58 ] botros reviews and accepts.
[ 2014.08.04 03:55:19 ] botros raises his glass. "It's a pleasure to meet you madame Aspenstar."
[ 2014.08.04 03:55:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar raises hers and says "Likewise, Sir."
[ 2014.08.04 03:56:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar sips "We should have dinner in a more private location and discuss these interests and needs futher."
[ 2014.08.04 03:56:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Some other night."
[ 2014.08.04 03:56:42 ] botros > If you wish. I am available for such.
[ 2014.08.04 03:57:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar nods "I would. I will be back in Amarr in about a week or so with some shipments. I'd ;like to make sure they are properly valued."
[ 2014.08.04 03:59:35 ] botros > That's very prudent.
[ 2014.08.04 04:00:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar nods and finishes her wine. "Have a good evening Sir."
[ 2014.08.04 04:01:07 ] botros > If you would like, I'd be happy to help you asess their value.
[ 2014.08.04 04:01:18 ] botros > Good evening madame.
[ 2014.08.04 04:01:44 ] Rhoxy Runekin is halfway through her ice cream.
[ 2014.08.04 04:02:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar replies "I would like that" as she slowly unwinds from her barstool, showing a little leg before her skirt falls over it. Perhaps inadvertantly.
[ 2014.08.04 04:02:50 ] botros gives a professional smile.
[ 2014.08.04 04:03:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar smooths her dress and gives Botros a firm smile back as she departs.
[ 2014.08.04 04:08:09 ] botros finishes his wine and leaves the establishment.

***SEVERAL DAYS LATER, AFTER LUNA RETRIEVES THE CARGO AT AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION IN DELVE, ON THE RETURN TRIP***

Location: Huola, Planet Seven
Setting: A palatial manor house situated at the top of a cliff, with spectacular views across the ocean. At the foot of the coastal path, a beautiful bay with white sandy beach allows Manor regulars, and their guests, a private and serene location to take a dip in the warm water.The house, surrounded by acres of lush gardens and tropical palm-trees, boasts a terrace bar lit by torches; flickering with naked flame. ((image here))From the landing pad, visitors are escorted to the terrace after having their weapons confiscated by the privately employed security detail. The terrace is scattered with tables and chairs, chaise lounges, rockers, and several outdoor sofas. Drinks and food are served upon request by a dedicated team of smartly dressed servers. The terrace is also fitted with several holodrones and a retractable roof that is used during the rainy season. A three tiered water fountain sits directly in the centre of the terrace - the base having been decorated with floating flowers, and is home to several species of Koi.Visitors are allowed to stroll the gardens and visit the nearby waterfall, the menagerie, and the public rooms of the Manor house. Overnight accommodation is also available in the Guest House, which is located opposite the house, near the menagerie.
[ 2014.07.23 02:26:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar enters and takes a seat along the edge of the Terrace looking at the ocean.
[ 2014.07.23 02:26:53 ] Vlad Cetes heads in from the landing pad and grabs a vodka from the bar
[ 2014.07.23 02:27:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar glances at Vlad and nods.
[ 2014.07.23 02:27:21 ] Vlad Cetes > hello Luna
[ 2014.07.23 02:27:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Hello Mr. Cetes.
[ 2014.07.23 02:28:16 ] Vlad Cetes > Huola is quiet tonight
[ 2014.07.23 02:29:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I noticed. I see no shooting stars tonight.
[ 2014.07.23 02:29:38 ] Vlad Cetes > I am destroying some Blood Raiders tonight
[ 2014.07.23 02:29:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar's lips quirk slightly and she murmers "Good riddance to them"
[ 2014.07.23 02:30:30 ] Vlad Cetes shows Luna the holo screen where a single battleship is ripped apart by 20 sentry drones
[ 2014.07.23 02:30:39 ] Vlad Cetes > quad Ishtars, all linked together
[ 2014.07.23 02:31:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > A bit overkill?
[ 2014.07.23 02:32:34 ] Vlad Cetes > not for their Naval Shipyards
[ 2014.07.23 02:33:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I was unaware that you engaged in such activities. I thought you were a null sec or faction warfare pilot.
[ 2014.07.23 02:33:48 ] Vlad Cetes > this is in null security
[ 2014.07.23 02:33:54 ] Vlad Cetes > J4LP sovreign space
[ 2014.07.23 02:35:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar nods slightly but doesn't comment further, as she looks at the ocean.
[ 2014.07.23 02:40:27 ] Katerina Tzestu steps out onto the terrace, and takes a seat near Luna, "Hey, fancy seeing you here."
[ 2014.07.23 02:42:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar turns her head and smiles at Kat "hello there. Yes, Shalee invited me to take a break if I needed a place to duck for a few days"
[ 2014.07.23 02:42:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "How's things?"
[ 2014.07.23 02:43:12 ] Katerina Tzestu nods, "Fine, you? What's up?" she looks a tad concerned.
[ 2014.07.23 02:44:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh, I was mining in null and had an unusual delivery to pick up.... that was stressful and then I stumbled into this mess in Huola on the way back and docked up til it blows over.
[ 2014.07.23 02:44:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar chuckles.
[ 2014.07.23 02:45:59 ] Katerina Tzestu frowns, "What was the delivery, if I may ask."
[ 2014.07.23 02:47:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I'm not sure. The Abbess asked me to retrieve it for her.
[ 2014.07.23 02:47:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I was thinking of going up to the station and opening the Cargo Module and taking a peek. I have nothing else to do.
[ 2014.07.23 02:50:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar glances at Kat "Want to take a peek with me?"
[ 2014.07.23 02:52:28 ] Katerina Tzestu nods, getting up, "Sure."
[ 2014.07.23 02:52:48 ] Vlad Cetes > don't unleash some biological horror upon this planet
[ 2014.07.23 02:53:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar quirks her lips at Vlad "I hardly think it would be that. Still... it's in my Blockade Runner and contained in the bays.
[ 2014.07.23 02:54:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar rolls her eyes.
[ 2014.07.23 02:57:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar gets up "let's take a shuttle up."
[ 2014.07.23 02:58:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Good night Mr. Cetes.. I wouldn't want to expose you needlessly to pathogens.
[ 2014.07.23 02:59:26 ] Katerina Tzestu laughs and throws a wave at Vlad.
[ 2014.07.23 03:00:00 ] Vlad Cetes waves back

***IN TRANSIT**

[ 2014.07.23 03:01:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > **at the station, Luna takes you from the shuttle to her Blockade Runner, 'The Holy Ghost' and guides you into the vessel.**
[ 2014.07.23 03:02:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > **Assuming you follow, Luna will wind her way through to the ship to a cargo bay that resembles the inside of an ocean going contain ship, lined with litterally hundreds of landtruck sized containers**
[ 2014.07.23 03:03:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar gazes at the mass of containers, wrinkling her nose.
[ 2014.07.23 03:03:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar pulls up a datapad and mutters "Now where did we load that one?"
[ 2014.07.23 03:05:02 ] Katerina Tzestu laughs, "Somewhere, I'm sure."
[ 2014.07.23 03:05:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar mutters as she scrolls through the manifest.
[ 2014.07.23 03:06:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Aha! Follow me Kat."
[ 2014.07.23 03:06:40 ] Katerina Tzestu laughs, "After you."
[ 2014.07.23 03:07:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar leads you on a winding path through the huge hold, involving climbing up and down ladders until she comes to a Black Container that is sealed with a security lock.
[ 2014.07.23 03:08:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar leans forward and lets the lock scan her eye as she places her thumb on another part.
[ 2014.07.23 03:08:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar mutters "The Abbess is a bit paranoid"
[ 2014.07.23 03:09:21 ] Katerina Tzestu smiles, "Can't hurt, I suppose."
[ 2014.07.23 03:09:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar steps back as the door opens with a click and steps inside.

[ 2014.07.23 03:10:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters and immediately gets a frozen, almost stricken look on her face.
[ 2014.07.23 03:11:54 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote follows after, looks curious, then worried, "You okay, Luna?"
[ 2014.07.23 03:11:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote simply stares at the pieces arrayed on the wall.
[ 2014.07.23 03:12:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well.. I certainly didn't expect this... I expected boxes and... the Abbess wanted me to pick this stuff up?
[ 2014.07.23 03:14:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stares at the painting of the Blood Raider Templar looking pale and plops down into a convenient chair ((the cargo module is set up like a lounge in a rich person's rail car))
[ 2014.07.23 03:15:07 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote settles into an adjacent seat, then lightly touches Luna, "Hey, what's up?"
[ 2014.07.23 03:15:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote mutters "she would have known this would upset me."
[ 2014.07.23 03:16:02 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote frowns, "Why?"
[ 2014.07.23 03:16:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Kat "My parents and much later my husband were killed by Blood Raiders"
[ 2014.07.23 03:16:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Bless their souls...
[ 2014.07.23 03:17:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks fixedly at Acolyte .
[ 2014.07.23 03:18:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is shaking slightly as she does.
[ 2014.07.23 03:18:45 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote reaches over and folds Luna into a hug, "Oh, I'm so sorry."
[ 2014.07.23 03:19:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote accepts the hug, sniffling slightly and looking pale.
[ 2014.07.23 03:21:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote straightens up and stares at the progression of the art work. "At least this isn't some sort of glorification..."
[ 2014.07.23 03:22:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Avenging Angel and then back at Kat "when I was in the service, we prayed to Saint Michaelus to protect us before an operation"
[ 2014.07.23 03:24:41 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "I've no doubt."
[ 2014.07.23 03:26:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns "well.. i certainly won't show this room to Maria."
[ 2014.07.23 03:28:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It was bad enough when I had to tell her a trusted friend might be Sani Sabik. She didn't handle that well...
[ 2014.07.23 03:30:24 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote frowns, "What?"
[ 2014.07.23 03:31:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I was told by another friend that an individual she and I both were dealing with was a former Sani Sabik and might well still be a Sani Sabik so we should proceed with great caution.
[ 2014.07.23 03:31:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote studies Ashes and says "Maria didn't handle it as maturely as I would have hoped, but i am sure she has settled down by now"
[ 2014.07.23 03:31:44 ] Katerina Tzestu > Is it anyone I know?
[ 2014.07.23 03:32:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Katerina as her eyes look slightly vacant, as if pondering something.
[ 2014.07.23 03:33:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes, I would imagine so"
[ 2014.07.23 03:33:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think it best if I leave it to Lady Lianne to discuss it with you if she hasn't already.
[ 2014.07.23 03:34:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote studies In the Dark Red Shadows "the pernicious thing about the Sani Sabik is they blend in"
[ 2014.07.23 03:35:07 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote frowns, "Shalee?" She makes the connection in her head, "Oh, tiger. I'm afraid Maria is taking it less calmly then you think."
[ 2014.07.23 03:35:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sits up slightly in her chair where she was slumped staring at the pictures and looks directly at Kat "What do you mean?"
[ 2014.07.23 03:38:16 ] Katerina Tzestu > A week or so ago, we were at the Grape and Tiger came in. Maria looked like she could barely stop herself from stabbing him with her steak knife.
[ 2014.07.23 03:39:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly, looking at Kat.
[ 2014.07.23 03:41:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh.. I had hoped she'd work her temper out on the Minmatar in Huola... Is there someone she could talk to in Imperial Outlaws?"
[ 2014.07.23 03:42:54 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "I tried to catch her as she left, but she was too fast, and I haven't seen her since."
[ 2014.07.23 03:43:03 ] Katerina Tzestu > She could talk to me, or Shalee.
[ 2014.07.23 03:43:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns and nods.
[ 2014.07.23 03:43:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I will suggest that if I see her. She's been avoiding me so far.
[ 2014.07.23 03:44:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances around the room "You know I did ask Tiger directly about whether he was still a Sani Sabik."
[ 2014.07.23 03:44:08 ] Katerina Tzestu > And?
[ 2014.07.23 03:44:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > He didn't answer me at first and then said he wasn't after a while.
[ 2014.07.23 03:44:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Hardly the sort of strenous objection I'd expect from someone who isn't.
[ 2014.07.23 03:46:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But how do you prove a negative?
[ 2014.07.23 03:47:22 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "Yea. I'm guessing Maria's anger is at the fact that her father was killed, yes?"
[ 2014.07.23 03:48:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes.. and I know Tiger was tutoring her."
[ 2014.07.23 03:48:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > So I assume she had felt close to him in some way.
[ 2014.07.23 03:49:09 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "I'll talk to ther then, I have some experience in the area," she frowns.
[ 2014.07.23 03:49:19 ] Katerina Tzestu > Assuming she lets me.
[ 2014.07.23 03:49:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.07.23 03:49:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says to herself "I wonder what Tiger would think of this room?"
[ 2014.07.23 03:50:34 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote shrugs. "I wish I knew." She says, barely a whisper.
[ 2014.07.23 03:51:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly "well I've had enough of this room for now. It gives me the creeps."
[ 2014.07.23 03:51:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shivers.
[ 2014.07.23 03:51:48 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "Yea. let's get a drink."
[ 2014.07.23 03:52:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets up, and without looking back leaves the cargo module.

**return to Cerra*

[ 2014.07.23 03:53:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar returns from the shuttlepad.
[ 2014.07.23 03:56:18 ] Katerina Tzestu follows, then walks behind the bar, pulling out some salt, cut limes, and a bottle.
[ 2014.07.23 03:56:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar takes a seat at the bar.
[ 2014.07.23 03:57:33 ] Katerina Tzestu pours a pair of shots, then slides one over to Luna, along with the bowls of salt and lime.
[ 2014.07.23 03:57:35 ] Vlad Cetes > welcome back
[ 2014.07.23 03:57:49 ] Vlad Cetes > you don't seem to be suffering from some malady, I assume it was safe then
[ 2014.07.23 03:57:52 ] Katerina Tzestu > Thank you, Vlad. Join us?
[ 2014.07.23 03:58:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar murmers "thank you" to Kat,
[ 2014.07.23 03:58:08 ] Vlad Cetes > sure *gets another vodka*
[ 2014.07.23 04:01:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar licks the skin between her thumb and index finger and shakes a little bit of salt on her fingers.
[ 2014.07.23 04:01:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar quickly downs the shot.
[ 2014.07.23 04:01:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar takes a cut lime wedge and quicky sucks on it and places it back down.
[ 2014.07.23 04:02:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar shudders slightly.
[ 2014.07.23 04:02:14 ] Katerina Tzestu pours another shot, then does the shot herself.
[ 2014.07.23 04:02:19 ] Katerina Tzestu > Another?
[ 2014.07.23 04:02:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar says "Well.. that certainly had an edge to it" and giggles.
[ 2014.07.23 04:02:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes
[ 2014.07.23 04:02:45 ] Katerina Tzestu laughs, then pours another two, sliding one to Luna.
[ 2014.07.23 04:04:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar downs another in the same fashion.
[ 2014.07.23 04:05:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Thank you Kat.. I suspect I may be able to sleep now.
[ 2014.07.23 04:06:01 ] Vlad Cetes > what is the occassion for shots?
[ 2014.07.23 04:06:39 ] Katerina Tzestu nods, "Of course." She takes a seat, as much for stability as anything else.
[ 2014.07.23 04:08:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar glances at Vlad without comment and says to Kat "I think I will try to go to sleep now"
[ 2014.07.23 04:10:24 ] Katerina Tzestu nods, "Want me to walk you in?"
[ 2014.07.23 04:11:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I'll be fine.. *smiles slightly*
[ 2014.07.23 04:11:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar says "good night" to Vlad and Kat as she slides off her stool and then makes her way to the Guest Quarters.
[ 2014.07.23 04:12:17 ] Vlad Cetes > good night Luna
[ 2014.07.23 04:12:31 ] Vlad Cetes > Kat, what in the hell was in there to drive you two to drink?
[ 2014.07.23 04:13:38 ] Katerina Tzestu > Don't worry about it, I'm fine

The AVCL Connection is a small social club adjacent to the PIE headquarters in Amarr. The club is built out of bronze metal that reflects the soft blue ceiling lights, and the architecture is rounded, with a high domed ceiling. Finely-polished golden panels, engraved with religious illustrations, line the surface of the ceiling, and ornate gold text engravings of Amarrian scripture run down the walls to the floor to tell the tales of the scenes above.In the far corner of the bar is a large holo-emitter showing the latest Mind Clash Game. Several smaller emitters are dotted around the bar, each showing various items of note such as stock prices, religious sermons, and basic news. Beside the main emitter is a Mind Clash table, for those interested in playing amateur matches with their fellow patrons. Seating is ample in many forms. Floor mats, chairs, booths, and stools all complement tables designed for each. Juvenile samples of carefully selected plant life from both State and Imperial worlds grow together in large pots. VIP lounges are available on the second floor, accessible by a glass elevator at the rear corner of the bar opposite the Mind Clash area. Food at the Connection is comprised of a large variety of traditional upscale Amarrian and Caldari food. A large selection of teas are available along with the food, with the infamously toxic hak'len and other Kresh drinks a notable exception. The kitchen is quite visible and is staffed by chefs from both empires. All food and drink, of course, is provided free to any active member of the State or Empire militia.Connection restricts customers from carrying firearms, in accordance with local Imperial law. Those found carrying firearms in violation of this restriction will be asked to turn their weapon over or be escorted from the area.
[ 2014.08.11 02:20:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shimmers in and takes a "seat", looking a little pale and stressed.
[ 2014.08.11 02:24:55 ] Benedicta Secheh > /emote walks in placidly, pausing briefly to assess her surroundings, and makes her way over to where Lunarisse is appearing.
[ 2014.08.11 02:25:21 ] Benedicta Secheh > "Hello Mrs Daphiti. Thank you for meeting me. Where are you actually located at Present?"
[ 2014.08.11 02:26:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rises and curtseys "I am at Cerra Manor, Milady"
[ 2014.08.11 02:26:53 ] Benedicta Secheh > /emote gives a dismissive way of her hand as Lunarisse curtseys, indicating she should sit.
[ 2014.08.11 02:27:04 ] Benedicta Secheh > "I see. Do you have the package?"
[ 2014.08.11 02:27:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses "Umm.. yes Milady"
[ 2014.08.11 02:27:58 ] Benedicta Secheh > "I trust you have not opened the package?"
[ 2014.08.11 02:28:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stares at Benedicta and begins to shake.
[ 2014.08.11 02:28:53 ] Benedicta Secheh > /emote says sharply and without pity "You opened it didn't you?"
[ 2014.08.11 02:29:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stammers "i.... well I need to know what is in my holds Abbess..."
[ 2014.08.11 02:29:47 ] Benedicta Secheh > That's an excuse.
[ 2014.08.11 02:30:10 ] Benedicta Secheh > You should not have touched it until i was ready to explain it to you.
[ 2014.08.11 02:31:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote begins to shake, looking more pale.
[ 2014.08.11 02:31:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "How could you ask me to haul such things. You know what those..... Monstrosities.... mean to me?"
[ 2014.08.11 02:31:53 ] Benedicta Secheh > You had your Duty Mrs. Daphiti. Feelings are irrelevant.
[ 2014.08.11 02:33:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stares at the Abbess, her upset turning slowly to anger. "Feelings are irrelevant? I lost my husband to them damn you."
[ 2014.08.11 02:34:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I did do my duty. If I let my feelings control me I would have burned it all when i saw what it was."
[ 2014.08.11 02:34:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > and scattered every last godamn piece of ash into space.
[ 2014.08.11 02:35:18 ] Benedicta Secheh > Watch your tone young woman. You tread on dangerous ice. *sharply*
[ 2014.08.11 02:36:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stares at Benedicta for a long while, shaking, but does not say anything.
[ 2014.08.11 02:36:47 ] Benedicta Secheh > /emote stares levelly back.
[ 2014.08.11 02:37:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote remains staring at Benedicta, her face a jumble of emotions.
[ 2014.08.11 02:37:47 ] Benedicta Secheh > "We can do this all night, you know?" *placidly*
[ 2014.08.11 02:38:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote slowly looks down and says in a strained voice "My pardon, Abbess."
[ 2014.08.11 02:39:17 ] Benedicta Secheh > *briskly* To Business. I expected you to peek.
[ 2014.08.11 02:39:46 ] Benedicta Secheh > "I expected you to peek and to later remember how you reacted and felt. There was no hiding it was there?"
[ 2014.08.11 02:40:35 ] Benedicta Secheh > "The monstrosities, as you put it, would arouse such emotions in any of the right thinking Faithful, and therein lies the purpose of the Container."
[ 2014.08.11 02:40:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says in a low dangerous voice "You expected me to peek?"
[ 2014.08.11 02:41:20 ] Benedicta Secheh > "I had to be sure, Mrs. Daphiti. You have confirmed it by your reactions."
[ 2014.08.11 02:41:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote 's voice gets even lower if that is possible. "I.... confirmed it? Like some sort of.. test subject?"
[ 2014.08.11 02:43:04 ] Benedicta Secheh > /emote ignores the tone in Lunarisse's voice "Now that I know your reaction bears it out, i can give you your assignment, That possible Sani Sabik infiltrator in the 24th Imperial Crusade you told me about? You must take him to your ship and show -c-
[ 2014.08.11 02:43:41 ] Benedicta Secheh > him the exhibits in the Container. Your must take note of his reactions. His reactions may unveil what he truly is."
[ 2014.08.11 02:43:59 ] Benedicta Secheh > "Or lack thereof."
[ 2014.08.11 02:44:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Benedicta. "God damn you."
[ 2014.08.11 02:46:05 ] Benedicta Secheh > "You are not the Empress Mrs. Daphiti. I will wait for her or God himself to pronounce judgment. Will you do it?"*gazes without flinching at Lunarisse"
[ 2014.08.11 02:47:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says in a strained voice "Yes, Milady I will."
[ 2014.08.11 02:48:05 ] Benedicta Secheh > /emote nods slightly "As is your Duty. We shall have words about penance for your attitude later. Moving on..."
[ 2014.08.11 02:48:21 ] Benedicta Secheh > "Have the Stormcrows commenced operations against the Heretic?"
[ 2014.08.11 02:49:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks, taken off guard by the sudden shift in topic "Umm.. yes Miliady, with respect to the self-admitted heretic, and Lady Lianne has committed the Imperial Outlaws."
[ 2014.08.11 02:50:19 ] Benedicta Secheh > And the Praetoria and others of the 24th Imperial Crusade? How do they react to having a known heretic and mass-murderer in their ranks? Have they also committed?
[ 2014.08.11 02:51:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks down "No, Milady. But I have tried... I truly have"
[ 2014.08.11 02:51:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I have not heard that PIE will not do so, so there is hope yet they will take a renewed stand now that others stand with them.. unlike before."
[ 2014.08.11 02:52:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly "Perhaps if Milady would take a more direct role?"
[ 2014.08.11 02:53:14 ] Benedicta Secheh > "I will be announcing a Prayer Service to invoke God's protection on the 24th Imperial Crusade and for the purging of heresy in its ranks. Has the heretic been defeated in battle yet?"
[ 2014.08.11 02:53:33 ] Benedicta Secheh > "It is presumptous to make an announcement without tactical victory."
[ 2014.08.11 02:54:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes, Milady, both the Stormcrows and Imperial Outlaws have defeated him. One was a podding.
[ 2014.08.11 02:55:27 ] Benedicta Secheh > /emote gives a slight smile. "Then I shall announce the service tomorrow. Please ask Lady Lianne to name me if the heretic asks why Imperial Outlaws declared war on him."
[ 2014.08.11 02:55:49 ] Benedicta Secheh > ironic,... the outlaws. Who would have thought they would respond to the call before PIE?
[ 2014.08.11 02:56:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > PIE did act first, Milady.
[ 2014.08.11 02:56:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Respectfully.
[ 2014.08.11 02:56:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *hastily adds that*
[ 2014.08.11 02:57:11 ] Benedicta Secheh > /emote looks at Lunarisse "Be that as it may. If they respond let me know."
[ 2014.08.11 02:58:24 ] Benedicta Secheh > "Have a good day Mrs. Daphiti" *preemptorily ends the discussion by turning her back, as she had never sat down, and makes her way deliberately out of the AVCL*
[ 2014.08.11 02:58:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 'Good...'
[ 2014.08.11 02:58:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs.
[ 2014.08.11 03:00:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sits down where she is and puts her head in her hands.
[ 2014.08.11 03:13:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shimmers out.

 Channel Name:    Cerra Manor: The Shore
---------------------------------------------------------------

[ 2014.08.24 03:28:30 ] EVE System > Channel MOTD: At the bottom of the coastal path lies a secluded beach, lit exclusively by naked flame torches. The sand is very fine, white and warm, and the water a cool blue with coral reef further out. A small selection of wooden rowing boats have been pulled onto the beach and available for all to use.Despite a need for privacy, please don't take the boats too far out. We'd hate you to lose your way to the beach in the dark!
[ 2014.08.24 03:28:54 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote is sitting on the beach, as per his last communique with Luna.
[ 2014.08.24 03:34:08 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote lays back on the beach, resting his head on his arms and staring up into the night sky; watching the tiny, clouds cross the predominantly clear sky, obsuring the stars for a few seconds at a time.
[ 2014.08.24 03:37:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notices Tiger and makes her way across the beach, humming to herself so as to be heard.
[ 2014.08.24 03:37:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote rolls his head to the side, hearing Luna approach, then sits up and dusts himself down. "Evening, Luna. I'm glad you could make it"
[ 2014.08.24 03:38:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly "Hello Tiger.  Looks like we both made it back here."
[ 2014.08.24 03:39:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Well, I didn't like to hang round earlier; you looked rather busy being the hostess. Besides, our business is not something for public debate" he offers her a smile, then gestures to the sand beside him. "Care to join me?"
[ 2014.08.24 03:40:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote inclines her head slightly "I find this an odd location for us to discuss our business?"
[ 2014.08.24 03:40:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks slightly... confused? bemused? Something else?
[ 2014.08.24 03:41:34 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "We can head up the coastal path if you'd prefer?" he asks, rising to his feet and dusting the rest of the sand off his pants. "Sorry, I didn't mean to put you on edge"
[ 2014.08.24 03:41:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh, not at all. I just,.. well I don't even have my notes here and all.
[ 2014.08.24 03:41:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Shall we walk?
[ 2014.08.24 03:43:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head and gestures along the beach. "After you, Luna" he motions, allowing her to lead the way.
[ 2014.08.24 03:44:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote walks next to Tiger and slows to make sure he is walking with her and comments "I am curious as to why you asked me to look into him."
[ 2014.08.24 03:46:26 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote muses her comment a moment or two as he walks alongside her. "I'll tell you shortly, actually. I have a good reason though" he offers her a smile.
[ 2014.08.24 03:47:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly "I see" and glances up the path. "I've not been this way before.  Where does it lead?"
[ 2014.08.24 03:47:54 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Just along the beach. I used to bring Shalee down here, but she soon tired of the sand and sea. I run down here most mornings and evenings. It's how I keep in shape"
[ 2014.08.24 03:48:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the water's edge "It is certainly calming to walk along here."
[ 2014.08.24 03:49:19 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I find so too, actually. That's why once I moved into the Manor, I couldn't ever leave. Why would want to leave this place?"
[ 2014.08.24 03:50:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles wryly "Someone who worries about who flies overhead...and what the shooting stars actually are."
[ 2014.08.24 03:51:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote stops walking a moment and stares up into the night sky. "You think they're up there right now?"
[ 2014.08.24 03:51:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger and says carefully "Who?"
[ 2014.08.24 03:52:34 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "The Matari? Our enemies? Pirates? I don't know. Anyone?"
[ 2014.08.24 03:53:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote relaxes slightly, oddly enough "Of course they are."
[ 2014.08.24 03:53:39 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks back down and establishes eye contact with Luna once again. "I always feel so safe down here. We have guards and a handful of dedicated combat pilots. Not enough to liberate the system; but one day, perhaps"
[ 2014.08.24 03:54:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes.  A pity the latest effort failed....But Shalee's place is certainly secure enough"
[ 2014.08.24 03:55:20 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I wouldn't leave this area and head further inland. I doubt that'd be very safe. But Shalee has a lighthouse along the coast. We meet there every now and then. Such a view from the top" he sighs.
[ 2014.08.24 03:55:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh? I think I'd like to see that.
[ 2014.08.24 03:56:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles. "Perhaps one day. It's really our secret rendevous. She probably wouldn't even like me telling you about it, truth be told"
[ 2014.08.24 03:57:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh. Well then certainly not of course.
[ 2014.08.24 03:57:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shifts her footing slightly.
[ 2014.08.24 03:58:14 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote notices a driftwood log washed up on the beach. "Care to take a seat?" he says, wandering towards the log.
[ 2014.08.24 03:58:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head in the affirmative, "it's been a long day Tiger."
[ 2014.08.24 03:59:08 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote stops and turns back towards her. "Sorry. Then I guess you want to get down to business?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:01:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote makes her way to the log and sits, stretching out her legs.
[ 2014.08.24 04:02:08 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote follows after her and sits down beside her on the log; stretching his own legs out and burying his heels in the sand.
[ 2014.08.24 04:02:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > yes, Tigerfish.  Why did you have me research that horrible man *voice shaking slightly*
[ 2014.08.24 04:02:56 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Answer me a question first, Luna. Then I'll tell you why I asked you to research him for me"
[ 2014.08.24 04:04:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote purses her lips slightly looking tense "What question, Tigerfish?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:04:29 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You and I were becoming quite close friends at one point, then suddenly you seemed to distance yourself from me" he pauses. "Why?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:05:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses, then answers straightforwardly "I was unaware of your past Tigerfish.  and unfortunately in my experience those with that sort of past can't be entirely trusted again."
[ 2014.08.24 04:06:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head, the smile fading from his lips. "You heard about my past with the Sabik, didn't you? Suddenly I became the face of the enemy"
[ 2014.08.24 04:07:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I've spent most of the last 15 years fighting that cult one way or another."
[ 2014.08.24 04:07:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods again. "So ask me again why I asked you research my old friend"
[ 2014.08.24 04:08:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes, why in New Eden did you want me to look into him? *low voice but slightly sharp in tone*
[ 2014.08.24 04:09:43 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "It was a gift, for you" he looks up, meeting her gaze. "I knew you'd discovered my past, and I wanted to prove myself to you, Luna. The only way I could do so was to give you the information for one of the most influential men I'd ever served with. He
[ 2014.08.24 04:10:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > was the financier behind Shiras Neferis' operations; the banker for the Thrice Illustrious Sovereign. Do you realise what power that role contained? Do you realise how important he was to her operations?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:11:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > He was the "Crown Prince" of that particular branch according to Revan Neferis's records that I found.
[ 2014.08.24 04:12:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But all you gave me was a name...*frowns slightly* I think it's time for you to give me information this time... if you mean what you say.
[ 2014.08.24 04:12:57 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "That's correct, and the banker for everything Revan did. Her attack on Providence, of which I was the lead military commander, was funded by him"
[ 2014.08.24 04:21:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger, switching gears in topic "Have you heard of the The Space Auctoramentum Gladiatorium Arena.
[ 2014.08.24 04:22:13 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shakes his head softly from side to side. "No, I haven't. What is it?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:22:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tenses "You are sure you have no idea?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:23:31 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns. "Positive. The name doesn't mean anything to me, at least"
[ 2014.08.24 04:25:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I found a "A Tribute to the Brave fallen in the Arena"
[ 2014.08.24 04:25:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > There were some fascinating names on the list.
[ 2014.08.24 04:25:21 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Oh? What names?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:25:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is rather tense and talking tightly at present.
[ 2014.08.24 04:25:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Jade Constantine
[ 2014.08.24 04:25:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Vlad Cetes
[ 2014.08.24 04:25:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > and yourself among them.
[ 2014.08.24 04:26:06 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Revans lover, Revans Loyal Minion and me? I was her right hand man back then. Her Prathet"
[ 2014.08.24 04:26:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Jahandar was a judge to duels on that Arena.
[ 2014.08.24 04:26:57 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Was he? I don't recall the event, let alone the judges"
[ 2014.08.24 04:27:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It was apparently a long standing thing... I am deeply.. surprised you have no recall of it.
[ 2014.08.24 04:28:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the stars "And do you know if they are still out there?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:28:26 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods. "I once fought a guy called Rockafella in some gladatorial game. I destroyed his Abaddon, but took pity on his capsule, if memory serves"
[ 2014.08.24 04:29:16 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote lowers his voice. "Luna, before I answer that, I want to know if you can trust me again. I'm the same man I always was with you"
[ 2014.08.24 04:29:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am not sure.
[ 2014.08.24 04:30:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > that's why i wanted to talk to you now. But you are... forgetful  or evasive.
[ 2014.08.24 04:30:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns slightly.
[ 2014.08.24 04:30:38 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote sighs and turns to look at her. "Let me explain something to you Luna. You want to know the truth?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:31:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > At this point, I am not sure which truth we need to sort out first.
[ 2014.08.24 04:32:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But yes... some truths would be good.
[ 2014.08.24 04:32:19 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I was a loyal servant to Revan long before she became Sabik. When I started serving her, she was still loyal to Amarr and her people. I served her cause. She was true Amarrian, and a holder too. I was proud to serve her. Yet, once she broke away from A
[ 2014.08.24 04:33:02 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > Amarr, following the civil war with Tetrimon, lead by my equal number; Admiral Graelyn, as was, I was tied to her side. I didn't mind that, for the time, for I didn't know which direction she'd take"
[ 2014.08.24 04:34:04 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Then she became a Sani Sabik. I wasn't even sure what that entailed when she dragged me into the faith. I was there as her right hand man only, never as anything more - not until she became more powerful and needed my help"
[ 2014.08.24 04:36:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly, her eyes focused on Tigerfish,
[ 2014.08.24 04:37:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "So there I was. I had this power and position within the Sabik. I had no idea what to do with it. All I wanted was combat, and she kept me busy with roams against the Amarrians. It was never personal. They were my enemy, as the Matari are now"
[ 2014.08.24 04:38:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gazes at Tigerfish to see if he adds anything else.
[ 2014.08.24 04:39:00 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote sighs and looks down at the sand. "Then I disgraced myself in the Sabik, and left under a cloud of drama. My time there was over...."
[ 2014.08.24 04:39:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blurts out as you bring that piece up "And who was Evangeline? I understand she is the reason Reven cast you out?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:39:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "My marriage broke down as a result, and I was alone. No Sabik, no alliance, no wife. No family. Nothing. One person offered me hope, Luna. One person reached out to me"
[ 2014.08.24 04:39:52 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Evangeline? She was my wife"
[ 2014.08.24 04:40:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see.
[ 2014.08.24 04:40:55 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "The one person that offered me reason to live was Shalee. You want to know why I've been here, serving her so loyally, despite my own interest in this warzone? It's because of her"
[ 2014.08.24 04:41:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly, softening a little at the mention of Shalee.
[ 2014.08.24 04:42:03 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I fell in love with Shalee, and she helped me start the long journey of redemption, Luna. It's been a 2 year journey so far, but I've served with as much loyalty to the Amarrians, as I ever did to the Sabik"
[ 2014.08.24 04:43:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But you didn't leave because you renounced their ways Tigerfish... you left because Revan accused you of being unprrofessional.
[ 2014.08.24 04:43:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Where you ever excommunicated? Renounce their ways?
[ 2014.08.24 04:43:49 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Yes. We had a ceremony the day I left. The day my marriage was dissolved"
[ 2014.08.24 04:44:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stands up, looking very tense.
[ 2014.08.24 04:44:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "tigerfish, don't lie to me. Please."
[ 2014.08.24 04:45:06 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I'm not lying, Luna. You weren't there; Revan ended or marriage at the alter of the temple we frequented, and then excommunicated me as she had Punx"
[ 2014.08.24 04:45:31 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You can ask Cetes. He was there for the ritual"
[ 2014.08.24 04:45:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says to herself as if repeating something she read " she cast me away as 'disgraced' to our faith, for behaving in an unprofessional manner. She has not excommunicated me, as she did my wife"
[ 2014.08.24 04:45:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see.
[ 2014.08.24 04:46:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *sardonically* Mr. Cetes is certainly trustworthy.
[ 2014.08.24 04:46:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But perhaps it did happen after.. what i learned of...
[ 2014.08.24 04:46:55 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote sighs and looks back up to meet her gaze. "Mr Cetes is still loyal to her cause, Luna. I now fly, risking my life and my personal assets for the Amarrian Empire"
[ 2014.08.24 04:47:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And you know he is still loyal Tigerfish?
[ 2014.08.24 04:47:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks up at the stars.
[ 2014.08.24 04:47:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Why, he is?
[ 2014.08.24 04:47:43 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Of course he is. He never even fell out with her. He was there the day I left, and I carried on until she went into hiding"
[ 2014.08.24 04:48:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "So do you know if they are still out there?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:48:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "If the Sovereign ever returns, he'll rejoin her; mark my words, Luna"
[ 2014.08.24 04:48:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly about the mention of "return"
[ 2014.08.24 04:48:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote bites his lip, musing his answer. "Do you trust me at my word?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:49:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I assume you know I am thorough and will tell me the truth.
[ 2014.08.24 04:49:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs.
[ 2014.08.24 04:49:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tigerfish, then sits back down again looking pale.
[ 2014.08.24 04:50:51 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote takes a deep breath, then shakes his head. "Revan is a distant memory, for now. As was Jehandar. However, I was approached two weeks ago, by pilots that were only ever underlings when I stood in power"
[ 2014.08.24 04:51:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks a little less tense, oddly enough as if he confirmed something.
[ 2014.08.24 04:51:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods and listens.
[ 2014.08.24 04:51:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "They asked for my council"
[ 2014.08.24 04:51:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Ras Murin was one of the they, I assume?
[ 2014.08.24 04:52:37 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote takes another deep breath to steady his nerves, then looks up at the sky - the stars twinkling overhead. "I don't know the name, but possibly. They asked me what I thought they'd need to reform a Sabik as it was under Revan's leadership"
[ 2014.08.24 04:53:07 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "They asked me to advise, to help them flourish as it was during the days for project AzA and the great attack on Amarrian Providence"
[ 2014.08.24 04:54:47 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "If anything was likely to bring Revan out of hiding, it would be a Sabik following the rules laid down by her during her illustrious lead. Without her banker she's nothing. I gave you his name, knowing that you'd have contacts to deal with this man at
[ 2014.08.24 04:55:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > the source should he ever return" he pauses. "Luna, because I want you to trust me, I gave you the name of the one man that can rebuild an empire, should things pan out as they plan"
[ 2014.08.24 04:55:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.08.24 04:55:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Both he and she have not been publicly in view for almost 3 years."
[ 2014.08.24 04:55:55 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote rises to his feet and turns to face her. "I want to show you something..."
[ 2014.08.24 04:56:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But  Ras Murin claims he was her spymaster.
[ 2014.08.24 04:56:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quiets and glances at Tigerfish Torpedo.
[ 2014.08.24 04:56:40 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote begins unbuttoning his shirt. "Do you think her spymaster would make himself known to me? I was a public figure; a military commander"
[ 2014.08.24 04:57:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes. based on what he impertinently said.
[ 2014.08.24 04:57:40 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote pulls the shirt from his shoulders and lays it down beside Luna; revealling his toned by scarred torso. "What did he say?"
[ 2014.08.24 04:58:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > that he was trying to reactivate her old loyalists, that "their loyalties may have Eroded with time but we shall see"
[ 2014.08.24 04:58:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tigerfish and studies his torso,
[ 2014.08.24 04:58:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Then my fears are quite accurate, and in that case, the information I gave you is far more valuable than I thought"
[ 2014.08.24 04:59:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shivers slightly in the cool breeze, his skin mottling with goosebumps. "Do you begin to understand?"
[ 2014.08.24 05:00:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly, softening a bit.
[ 2014.08.24 05:04:38 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote turns around so she can see the rear of his right hand side. Two 'fresh' scars; both the result of very deep (nearly fatal) knife wounds carved into his back. "That happened when I declined to help the new order. Yet so many stand in judgement"
[ 2014.08.24 05:05:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly looking concerned at Tigerfish.
[ 2014.08.24 05:05:54 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote turns back to face her. "Yet you distrust me, after all I've been through"
[ 2014.08.24 05:06:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Softly, the Sani Sabik are difficult to ever extricate oneself from.. mentally or physically..
[ 2014.08.24 05:06:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > They never let go.
[ 2014.08.24 05:06:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "They've tried to kill me several times. Two weeks ago they almost succeeded"
[ 2014.08.24 05:07:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods and frowns slightly "Where? At Cerra?"
[ 2014.08.24 05:08:19 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "No, I was returning from the meeting with them, in which they asked for my council. They attacked me in Egghelende, in the station. I returned to Cerra though; it was early in the morning"
[ 2014.08.24 05:08:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Does Shalee know?
[ 2014.08.24 05:09:58 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shakes his head. "No. I never told her; for I fear she'd suspect my ties with the Sani weren't severed when I initially said they were"
[ 2014.08.24 05:13:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes slightly and looks pale "I appreciate your truthfulness Tiger."
[ 2014.08.24 05:13:49 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "You deserve that much, as did Shalee when I told her. Do you think she'd keep me around if she didn't trust my dedication to her cause, or yours?"
[ 2014.08.24 05:14:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think Shalee needs to know.  for Security;s sakenow.  They may be back Tigerfish,.
[ 2014.08.24 05:14:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > and that Mr. Cetes is at cerra pratically every day.
[ 2014.08.24 05:14:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks very strained as she says that.
[ 2014.08.24 05:16:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tries to stand up 'Let's...." and passes out.

[05:14:42] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks very strained as she says that.
Luna gets up to walk back to the Manor and passes out.

As Luna passes out on the beach, Tiger gets up from his spot on the log and scoops her up in his strong arms. Leaving his shirt behind on the beach, he carries her up the path to the Manor, and across the terrace. Not quite certain which suite is hers, he takes her back to his quarters and lays her down on his bed. Leaving her fully dressed, he pulls his covers over her, turns the light out and heads out to sleep on the terrace beneath the stars.

---------------------------------------------------------------

[ 2014.08.24 13:35:37 ] EVE System > Channel MOTD: Location: Huola, Planet SevenSetting: A palatial manor house situated at the top of a cliff, with spectacular views across the ocean. At the foot of the coastal path, a beautiful bay with white sandy beach allows Manor regulars, and their guests, a private and serene location to take a dip in the warm water.The house, surrounded by acres of lush gardens and tropical palm-trees, boasts a terrace bar lit by torches; flickering with naked flame. ((image here))From the landing pad, visitors are escorted to the terrace after having their weapons confiscated by the privately employed security detail. The terrace is scattered with tables and chairs, chaise lounges, rockers, and several outdoor sofas. Drinks and food are served upon request by a dedicated team of smartly dressed servers. The terrace is also fitted with several holodrones and a retractable roof that is used during the rainy season. A three tiered water fountain sits directly in the centre of the terrace - the base having been decorated with floating flowers, and is home to several species of Koi.Visitors are allowed to stroll the gardens and visit the nearby waterfall, the menagerie, and the public rooms of the Manor house. Overnight accommodation is also available in the Guest House, which is located opposite the house, near the menagerie.
[ 2014.08.24 13:47:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wakes up and walks out a different door of the terrance, than usual from the guest quarter,s looking rumpled and touseled. She makes her way to the bar and orders a cup of hot cocoa and pulls out a datapad..
[ 2014.08.24 13:51:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote orders a some breakfast as well after typing for a bit.
[ 2014.08.24 13:53:55 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote walks up from the beach, having gone down to retrieve his shirt an hour or so earlier. Crossing the terrace, he spots Luna at the bar. "Good morning, Luna"
[ 2014.08.24 13:56:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances up at Tigerfish and flushes.
[ 2014.08.24 13:56:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Good morning Tiger
[ 2014.08.24 13:56:45 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote offers her a warm smile and moves over to join her, gesturing the chair beside her. "Mind if I join you?"
[ 2014.08.24 13:56:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Sure.
[ 2014.08.24 13:57:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote pulls out the chair and lowers himself down gracefully. "How did you sleep?"
[ 2014.08.24 13:57:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Like a baby it seems. I rarely wake after dawn.
[ 2014.08.24 13:57:56 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I trust the mattress wasn't too lumpy?" he grins. "I was worried when you passed out"
[ 2014.08.24 13:58:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly "I... don't remember that."
[ 2014.08.24 13:58:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It was fine.
[ 2014.08.24 13:59:02 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles again, remaining silent for a moment. "You never did tell me how much I owe you for your research"
[ 2014.08.24 14:00:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitche slightly and glances at Tigerfish "Given what it accomplished, ummm last's just call it even."
[ 2014.08.24 14:01:42 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote bows his head. "Thank you, Luna". He pauses a moment. "Besides, should the old regime ever truly return, you have the details you need to chase down the very source"
[ 2014.08.24 14:03:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slowly. "Yes, i do and I appreciate it."
[ 2014.08.24 14:04:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "So we're cool?" he asks, tilting his head slightly towards her.
[ 2014.08.24 14:04:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes her breakfast and begins to nibble on it.
[ 2014.08.24 14:04:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "Yes, We are."
[ 2014.08.24 14:05:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Although there's still something I'd like to show you... Do you have time after breakfast?"
[ 2014.08.24 14:05:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote sits back in his chair, staring across the table at her. "I'm pleased to hear it". Looking up, he clicks his finger to summon a server, then orders some breakfast for himself. "Of course I do, Luna"
[ 2014.08.24 14:07:12 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Besides, I still have things I want to tell you about my experience. To help you further understand my life back then"... "to me, it's important"
[ 2014.08.24 14:07:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "We can chat up there then. is the station secure again?"
[ 2014.08.24 14:08:14 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Up there? Up where?"
[ 2014.08.24 14:09:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.08.24 14:09:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "it's in my cargo hold"
[ 2014.08.24 14:10:13 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Very well. I'm sure I'll be safe enough with you, Luna. They seem to be cowards; always operating in the dark it seems"
[ 2014.08.24 14:11:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods and finishes her breakfast and runs her hands through her touseled hair. "Give me a minute to clean up please? I can't go out looking like this"
[ 2014.08.24 14:12:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Feel free to use my bathroom, Luna. I would hate you to call me an unfit host"
[ 2014.08.24 14:12:37 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles at her as the server sets his breakfast down on the table.
[ 2014.08.24 14:12:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head in amusement "I need far more than that" and goes to the door where her guest quarters are located and enters.
[ 2014.08.24 14:13:41 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote watches her walk away, then tucks into his breakfast, ripping it to shreds like some hungry pack animal.
[ 2014.08.24 14:16:35 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote gets up from the table, having finished his breakfast and takes the plate over to the bar. Heading towards his own suite, he quickly freshens up whilst waiting for Luna.
[ 2014.08.24 14:20:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote comes back out looking much more put together. She is wearing practical walking clothes and takes seat by the way to the shuttlepad.
[ 2014.08.24 14:22:13 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote emerges from his own suite moments later, having showered and dressed in a clean uniform. "Been waiting long?" he asks, approaching Luna.
[ 2014.08.24 14:22:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head and says briskly "let's go"
[ 2014.08.24 14:22:50 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods and follows her to the shuttle

**Luna's Blockade Runner, the SFRIM 'The Holy Ghost' **

[ 2014.08.24 14:23:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > **at the station, Luna takes you from the shuttle to her Blockade Runner, 'The Holy Ghost' and guides you into the vessel.**
[ 2014.08.24 14:24:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > **Assuming you follow, , Luna will wind her way through to the ship to a cargo bay that resembles the inside of an ocean going container ship, lined with literally hundreds of landtruck sized containers**
[ 2014.08.24 14:24:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > ((think the warehouse at the end of indiana jones and the lost ark))
[ 2014.08.24 14:24:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gazes at the mass of containers, wrinkling her nose.
[ 2014.08.24 14:24:54 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote follows quietly, observing the inner workings of Luna's vessel. "I see business is good!"
[ 2014.08.24 14:25:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It has been brisk....
[ 2014.08.24 14:25:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pulls up a datapad and mutters "Now where did we load that one?"
[ 2014.08.24 14:25:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote mutters as she scrolls through the manifest.
[ 2014.08.24 14:26:07 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Looking for something specific?" he asks, craning his head to the side. "Why do I feel like I'm walking into an ambush?"
[ 2014.08.24 14:26:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Aha! Follow me Tiger!" and much a lower voice mutters "not anymore..."
[ 2014.08.24 14:26:58 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote pauses, almost debating to answer that, then decides against it and follows after her.
[ 2014.08.24 14:27:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote leads you on a winding path through the huge hold, involving climbing up and down ladders until she comes to a Black Container that is sealed with a security lock.
[ 2014.08.24 14:27:37 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote stands behind Luna, looking over her shoulder at the container. "What is it?"
[ 2014.08.24 14:28:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a very faint smile "you'll see... some artifacts collected by one of my employers."
[ 2014.08.24 14:28:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote leans forward and lets the lock scan her eye as she places her thumb on another part.
[ 2014.08.24 14:28:54 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods, remaining silent once again.
[ 2014.08.24 14:29:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > steps back as the door opens with a click and pauses "I think i can enter this container this time without getting upset."
[ 2014.08.24 14:29:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns and looks at Luna as he steps forward. "Upset?"
[ 2014.08.24 14:30:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger 'Same reason I was upset with you, sort of.'
[ 2014.08.24 14:30:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters.
[ 2014.08.24 14:31:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote follows after her.

[ 2014.08.24 14:31:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote steps on and steps aside, glancing at the door to see if Tigerfish folows.
[ 2014.08.24 14:32:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote stops inside the container and looks around; the mystery suddenly beginning to tie together the distance, the coldness over the last few weeks. "I see" he whispers.
[ 2014.08.24 14:33:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The Abbess, damn her black heart, asked me to transport this knowing I'd peak.
[ 2014.08.24 14:34:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sits down with a sigh.
[ 2014.08.24 14:35:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote walks to the first picture and raises his hand to touch the red armor of the Sani Sabik soldier - stopping just before touching the canvass. "It takes me back" he says in a low, soft voice.
[ 2014.08.24 14:36:40 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote moves to the second picture. "I remember this all too well. That's Revan. I'm sure of it" he lowers his eyes. "I served her for so long, Luna"
[ 2014.08.24 14:38:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods and leans forward cupping her chin in her hands, remaining composed so far, watching Tigerfish.
[ 2014.08.24 14:39:08 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote moves to the gloves, then looks back at her. "Excluding the more abstract pieces, you've managed to piece together much of my life from a time long ago. A time I've tried so very hard to forget"
[ 2014.08.24 14:40:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. supposedly this was a random collection but I think she wanted me to see your reaction to all this."
[ 2014.08.24 14:41:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's eyes linger over ashes "At least you have left that path. it could only end badly in the Empire."
[ 2014.08.24 14:41:30 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote lowers his eyes again. "I don't know if I can stand any more of it. The memories are flooding back. The pains I endured; the hurt, the distrust, the loss of my family"
[ 2014.08.24 14:42:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stands up, pulling her sweater tightly around her. "Then let's go, You and me both. Those people killed my parents and my husband."
[ 2014.08.24 14:42:39 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks up at Luna again, feeling overwhelmed, angry, hurt. "You have no idea the lengths my loyalty took me to"
[ 2014.08.24 14:43:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote bows his head, turns and walks out of the container. Outside once again, he closes his eyes, taking deep breaths to steady himself.
[ 2014.08.24 14:43:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote walks out as well and closes it firmly.
[ 2014.08.24 14:44:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote closes the door firmly.
[ 2014.08.24 14:45:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Now I can be finally be rid of this accursed thin

In Luna's Ready Room on the SFRIM Holy Ghost.

[ 2014.08.24 14:49:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs "Want to come somewhere we can sit and chat?"
[ 2014.08.24 14:50:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Yes, Luna. I want there to be no secrets between us; you and I"
[ 2014.08.24 14:51:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote leads Tigerfish back out of the cargobay, climbing up and down ladders and into the much smaller crew quarters of the ship.  The quarters are kept spotlessly clean and appears to be for a fairly minimal crew.
[ 2014.08.24 14:52:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote follows her again, beginning to regain his composure from seeing the Sani exhibit - a lifetime of memories, laid out before him.
[ 2014.08.24 14:54:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote leads you up a lift and into a comfortable lounge with large windows looking out.  As it is in Hangar, the view is of the bustle and hustle of a busy port.  There are a few comfortable couches and chaires and a coffee table.  On the wall are -c
[ 2014.08.24 14:54:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > pictures of gardens. https://sfrim.forumotion.com/t15-lunarisse-aspenstar#129
[ 2014.08.24 14:55:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > https://sfrim.forumotion.com/t15-lunarisse-aspenstar#129
[ 2014.08.24 14:55:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters "The one relaxing room I have on the ship."
[ 2014.08.24 14:55:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "have a seat. I'll have someone get us some tea."
[ 2014.08.24 14:56:14 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote stops and looks at the pictures as he enters the room. "I remember these pictures. You showed them to me on your PDA.. A few months ago"
[ 2014.08.24 14:56:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.08.24 14:56:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > this room is standard on all my ships.
[ 2014.08.24 14:56:48 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks down at her. "Before you showed me the picture of yourself relaxing in your flowerbed.
[ 2014.08.24 14:56:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly and sits down on the couch by the cofee table.
[ 2014.08.24 14:57:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes. "Yes, that one."
[ 2014.08.24 14:58:03 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles. "I find it a shame that one isn't hanging up here" he says, turning and sitting down beside her.
[ 2014.08.24 14:58:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head slightly "Not here.  I conduct business here too."
[ 2014.08.24 14:59:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote removes her boots and enters some commands into a pad on the corner of the couch.  One of her crew members comes in, wearing a dark blue jumpsuit, with a pot of tea and some cups.
[ 2014.08.24 15:02:11 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Then I'll simply rely on memory..." he trails off. "Where do we start? We have so much to talk about"
[ 2014.08.24 15:03:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods and takes the pot and pours a cup of tea for each of us.
[ 2014.08.24 15:05:16 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote watches as she pours the tea, quietly reflecting on the mornings events.
[ 2014.08.24 15:05:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote finishes pouring and presents Tigerfish with his cup.
[ 2014.08.24 15:06:03 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote takes the cup and places it down on the table. "So where do I begin?"
[ 2014.08.24 15:07:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her tea. "Whereever you think Best, Tigerfish."
[ 2014.08.24 15:07:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Tiger.. I mean...
[ 2014.08.24 15:08:19 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods in satisfaction as she corrects herself. "Did you ever hear of Lami?"
[ 2014.08.24 15:10:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head slightly "No."
[ 2014.08.24 15:10:54 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Young girl. Not much older than Maria, actually. She's mixed race. Half Amarrian, half Caldari. She's very pretty"
[ 2014.08.24 15:11:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote picks up his tea and stirs it with the small spoon on the edge of his saucer.
[ 2014.08.24 15:12:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger, not interrupting nor feeling the need to fill any silences.
[ 2014.08.24 15:12:56 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "She's my daughter" he appends, taking a small sip from his mug. "I was a young officer in Revan's army. Before I took command of her forces.."
[ 2014.08.24 15:13:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "She was a red hot woman, full of lust and sexual desire. For her, life was an endless party of drink, drugs and sex. I felt so lonely at the beginning. No one really paid me any attention"
[ 2014.08.24 15:14:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2014.08.24 15:14:59 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Then one day, soon after the beginning of the Amarrian civil war, a young Amarrian woman showed an interest in me. It was the first time in my life I'd ever felt such strong feelings...  You know?"
[ 2014.08.24 15:15:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.08.24 15:15:56 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I was over the moon when I finally decided to introduce her to Revan. I remember the meeting well. We'd been seeing one another for several months...."
[ 2014.08.24 15:17:21 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "and she'd become pregnant. I was on the verge of having my own family. A time, I thought of great celebration..."
[ 2014.08.24 15:18:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Evangeline?"
[ 2014.08.24 15:18:38 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I went to Revan, to request her permission to proceed to a more serious relationship with the girl". Shaking his head, he corrects her. "No, her name was Katie. She remains a long secret in my past"
[ 2014.08.24 15:19:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see. *sips her tea*
[ 2014.08.24 15:19:41 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Revan was so angry with me. Called me a fool for allowing the Amarrians to infiltrate me so easily. A spy, dressed as my lover, positioned to steal every military secret I knew"
[ 2014.08.24 15:20:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Granted, she could have been a spy. But she was my lover, and soon to be the mother of my first born child"
[ 2014.08.24 15:20:56 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns and averts his gaze from Luna. "Do you know Revan ordered me to do?"
[ 2014.08.24 15:22:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "No"
[ 2014.08.24 15:23:00 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "She ordered me to execute my lover and cut the child from her mother. I was to deliver it back to Revan the following night"
[ 2014.08.24 15:23:57 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote reaches for his tea once again. "You think you've known pain at the hand of the Sabik? I was a loyal officer, under oath to Revan"
[ 2014.08.24 15:25:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns deeply, reaching her eyes that turn a bit red on hearing this.
[ 2014.08.24 15:25:57 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks back up to meet her gaze. "I returned home that night. Katie was awaiting news on how our future would be. Instead...."
[ 2014.08.24 15:26:50 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I placed her into a shuttle and sent her far away. I told her to go somewhere beyond Revan's reach, somewhere that if tortured, I'd not be able to reveal. She obeyed, left me, and then had my daughter..."
[ 2014.08.24 15:27:19 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I found out years later that Lami was alive, well and living in Thakala. I go back there whenever I can, in hopes of finding her for myself"
[ 2014.08.24 15:28:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.08.24 15:28:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Revan was so angry when I told her that Katie had escaped that she put me to death - that scar on my chest. You must have noticed it last night?"
[ 2014.08.24 15:31:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes.. i did notice it.
[ 2014.08.24 15:33:37 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote sighs. "I was as much a victim to the Sabik as anyone else in the Empire. There were many more occasions, similar to that. Times when my loyalty was rewarded with punishment and death..."
[ 2014.08.24 15:35:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh Tiger.. *softly*
[ 2014.08.24 15:36:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote pushes the tea away and stands to admire the pictures of Luna's garden on the wall. "I was never a model Sabik citizen"
[ 2014.08.24 15:37:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "After you left them.. did you ever find Katie again?"
[ 2014.08.24 15:38:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shakes his head. "No. I have no idea what became of her. Perhaps she was a spy, who know? I'd like to think she was honest with me, but it was a time of war. I'm too trusting, I fear"
[ 2014.08.24 15:39:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.08.24 15:39:58 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Tell me of your husband, Luna"
[ 2014.08.24 15:42:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Michaelus was an arranged marriage by Uncle.
[ 2014.08.24 15:42:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I married at 18.
[ 2014.08.24 15:43:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > He was a decent man,. we did come to love each other.
[ 2014.08.24 15:44:16 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head, looking down at Luna from where he stands admiring the artwork. "Was he Maria's father?"
[ 2014.08.24 15:44:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I learned everything I knew of business from him.. i was his silent partner...
[ 2014.08.24 15:44:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes.
[ 2014.08.24 15:45:43 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles. "I see. He taught you well, Luna. You have a formidable business mind"

[ 2014.08.30 01:41:47 ] EVE System > Channel MOTD: Location: Huola, Planet SevenSetting: A palatial manor house situated at the top of a cliff, with spectacular views across the ocean. At the foot of the coastal path, a beautiful bay with white sandy beach allows Manor regulars, and their guests, a private and serene location to take a dip in the warm water.The house, surrounded by acres of lush gardens and tropical palm-trees, boasts a terrace bar lit by torches; flickering with naked flame. ((image here))From the landing pad, visitors are escorted to the terrace after having their weapons confiscated by the privately employed security detail. The terrace is scattered with tables and chairs, chaise lounges, rockers, and several outdoor sofas. Drinks and food are served upon request by a dedicated team of smartly dressed servers. The terrace is also fitted with several holodrones and a retractable roof that is used during the rainy season. A three tiered water fountain sits directly in the centre of the terrace - the base having been decorated with floating flowers, and is home to several species of Koi.Visitors are allowed to stroll the gardens and visit the nearby waterfall, the menagerie, and the public rooms of the Manor house. Overnight accommodation is also available in the Guest House, which is located opposite the house, near the menagerie.
[ 2014.08.30 01:43:11 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote shrugs, "Not saying they have, but whenever a police state falls, chaos ensues."
[ 2014.08.30 01:43:58 ] Natasha Lanti > "What police states have fallen?"
[ 2014.08.30 01:44:52 ] Katerina Tzestu > CONCORD, soon.
[ 2014.08.30 01:46:04 ] Natasha Lanti > "CONCORD's the only the second police state New Eden has seen. The was the Provists for a while, but the same thing that happened there will be the thing that happened to the Caldari. The old systems will get used again."
[ 2014.08.30 01:46:42 ] Natasha Lanti > "CONCORD falls, the empires come to the forefront again."
[ 2014.08.30 01:48:16 ] Katerina Tzestu > Oh I don't doubt it, but it won't be a fun journey.
[ 2014.08.30 01:49:26 ] Natasha Lanti > "Well, I expect profits will go up. Open season slaving on the Minmatar and Gallente."
[ 2014.08.30 01:51:28 ] Katerina Tzestu > Maybe so, but first there has to be likely decades of death and destruction.
[ 2014.08.30 01:51:56 ] Natasha Lanti > "Well, as long as we come out on top."
[ 2014.08.30 01:55:15 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote shrugs, "True enough, I suppose. You planning on going for a swim?"
[ 2014.08.30 01:55:28 ] Natasha Lanti > /emote giggles "I would sink."
[ 2014.08.30 01:57:17 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs, "I doubt that."
[ 2014.08.30 01:57:53 ] Natasha Lanti > "I weigh 357 pounds. I have the buoyancy of a lead bar."
[ 2014.08.30 02:00:11 ] Katerina Tzestu > And the strength to offset that, I should think.
[ 2014.08.30 02:01:28 ] Natasha Lanti > /emote nods "But not buoyancy." she chucles "I like to stand in the surf, though."
[ 2014.08.30 02:03:45 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs, "Well this planet has some truly lovely oceans. I'm almost entirely sure that's why this manor is here actually."
[ 2014.08.30 02:06:09 ] Natasha Lanti > "Makes sense. It looked lovely on the flight down."
[ 2014.08.30 02:07:42 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "It is, I make a point of going down there at least once a week for a swim."
[ 2014.08.30 02:08:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters from the guest quarter and makes her way to the bar, glancing at Natasha, her slave, and Katerina.
[ 2014.08.30 02:09:13 ] Natasha Lanti > /emote nods to the Amarr woman.
[ 2014.08.30 02:09:18 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote waves at Luna as she walks in.
[ 2014.08.30 02:09:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles at Kat as she takes a bar stool, not interrupting, and orders a drink.
[ 2014.08.30 02:10:20 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote steps out from the Manor and stretches as he feels the cool breeze wash over his bare arms. Hearing voice from down on the terrace, he wanders down the steps and towards the bar.
[ 2014.08.30 02:12:37 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote waves at Tiger as he arrives as well.
[ 2014.08.30 02:13:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote returns Kats wave and nods to Luna. "Good evening, ladies. How are this evening?"
[ 2014.08.30 02:13:41 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote shrugs, "Well enough, you?"
[ 2014.08.30 02:14:01 ] Daisha Voluptia > /emote emerges from the manor, stretching her arms and legs and walking down to the bar
[ 2014.08.30 02:17:03 ] Daisha Voluptia > /emote waves to everyone there, saying nothing and makes herself a whiskey
[ 2014.08.30 02:17:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Tiger, sips her "Wine"
[ 2014.08.30 02:18:17 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs, "Dai! Where have you been?"
[ 2014.08.30 02:19:20 ] Daisha Voluptia > /emote smiles lazily at kat. "Sleeping. Gonna have my kind of 'coffee' to wake up."
[ 2014.08.30 02:23:37 ] Katerina Tzestu > what did you hibernate for the winter or something?
[ 2014.08.30 02:23:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Daisha "Hello, Ms. Voluptia."
[ 2014.08.30 02:24:30 ] Daisha Voluptia > /emote bows respectfully. "Lady Aspentar, i hope you are well."
[ 2014.08.30 02:25:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well enough" *sips her wine&
[ 2014.08.30 02:25:01 ] Daisha Voluptia > /emote turns to kat. "Not a bad idea actually, after all killer animals like bears do it"
[ 2014.08.30 02:26:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Tiger, remaining silent.
[ 2014.08.30 02:26:44 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs. then turns to Luna, "How's Maria?"
[ 2014.08.30 02:27:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose "well she hasn't spoken to Lady Shahni yet, but she is at least diverted by her warzone targets. She seemes less... stressed"
[ 2014.08.30 02:28:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks back at Luna as he drums his fingers on the bar. "I haven't seen Maria in ages. She was so cold with me last time"
[ 2014.08.30 02:29:17 ] Daisha Voluptia > Really? What did you do to her Tiger?
[ 2014.08.30 02:29:51 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs.
[ 2014.08.30 02:30:04 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shrugs. "I have no idea. One day she was fine, the next she was all quiet"
[ 2014.08.30 02:30:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger and sips her wine.
[ 2014.08.30 02:30:48 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote catches Luna's eye as she glances over at him, and offers her a warm smile.
[ 2014.08.30 02:47:25 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote steps out of the Manor with his canvas duffel slung over his shoulder. wearing civilian attire with a short sleeved button down shirt, unbuttoned revealing his carefully bandaged ribs.
[ 2014.08.30 02:47:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly at Tiger, eye's carefully hooded.
[ 2014.08.30 02:50:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Tiger, be sure to tell Shalee I said thank you for her hospitality. I've enjoyed my stay here.
[ 2014.08.30 02:51:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote slides onto the stool beside him and picks up his freshly prepared drink. "I'm sure she'd say you're very welcome, but I'll be sure to mention it. Will you not stay a few more days and tell her yourself?"
[ 2014.08.30 02:51:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote purses her lips slightly and looks at Tiger "I'd really rather not have that... package more than a day necessary. But perhaps.."
[ 2014.08.30 02:52:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles and nods his head. "Well, it'd be a shame to see you leave us. Dare I ask what your cargo is?"
[ 2014.08.30 02:53:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote 's face darkens at Tiger. "I'll be charitable and assume you've blocked the memory of it out."
[ 2014.08.30 02:54:34 ] Roland Cassidy > "To charity in that case." He approaches the group from behind
[ 2014.08.30 02:55:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Roland. "Hello Mr. Cassidy"
[ 2014.08.30 02:55:39 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "Hey you."
[ 2014.08.30 02:55:49 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote bites his lip. "You still have that container? I thought you'd have got rid of it a week ago!"
[ 2014.08.30 02:56:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods at Roland.
[ 2014.08.30 02:56:40 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote sets his duffel down and wraps his arms around Kat in a quick embrace. "Lady Aspenstar you're taking off?"
[ 2014.08.30 02:56:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I've had to finish some arrangements here before I could leave...
[ 2014.08.30 02:56:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles thinly at Tiger and then nods at Roland.
[ 2014.08.30 02:57:21 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Ahhh, I understand. Would you like an escort, Luna? I'd be happy to ensure you reach safety"
[ 2014.08.30 02:57:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I might appreciate that. I'll let you know when the time comes.
[ 2014.08.30 02:57:59 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Of course" he sets his glass down. "You're more than welcome"
[ 2014.08.30 02:58:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *to Roland* "vacation is over for me. I hope you can spend a litlte more time with Katerina here?"
[ 2014.08.30 02:58:56 ] Roland Cassidy > "Well we may be co-passengers on the shuttle out in that case." He looks back to Kat. "Called up for a wormhole seige." He blanches. "Have I told you how much I loathe wormholes?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:00:52 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote sighs, "You've mentioned a time or two."
[ 2014.08.30 03:02:03 ] Roland Cassidy > "I thought I might have." The thought of being stuck in another one of those holes for years always gave him cause for concern.
[ 2014.08.30 03:02:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Tiger and Daisha 'I also appreciate your keeping an eye on maria. She's been hunting that Nauplius fellow"
[ 2014.08.30 03:03:20 ] Daisha Voluptia > /emote smiles. "Not a problem at all. I rather enjoy flying with Maria"
[ 2014.08.30 03:05:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote places his hand on the base of his glass and swirls it around on the bar, leaving trails of bar sweat in its wake. "I've not seen Maria in ages, Luna. You shoudn't thank me. The last time I tried to give her advice, she reminded me I wasn't her f...
[ 2014.08.30 03:05:23 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > father and stormed off"
[ 2014.08.30 03:06:32 ] Roland Cassidy > "But you seem so fatherly... "
[ 2014.08.30 03:07:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly and murmers "that does explain things..."
[ 2014.08.30 03:08:21 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote frowns, "Explain what?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:08:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote half smiles at Roland, then looks back to Luna. "It does?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:09:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Her reaction.
[ 2014.08.30 03:09:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns to herself.
[ 2014.08.30 03:10:21 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Perhaps I should speak to her at some point. I've given her some space, since that day"
[ 2014.08.30 03:10:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I think she's settled a bit. She and I have been speaking on my little sojourn here..."
[ 2014.08.30 03:11:47 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "sojoum?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:12:15 ] Roland Cassidy > "Trip. Journey."
[ 2014.08.30 03:12:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "A needed break... for the most part."
[ 2014.08.30 03:13:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I see. Luna?" he asks, looking up at Luna again. "Was she aware of the subject of our last conversation?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:14:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Only in a very general sense. General enough that perhaps some of her... issues have been resolved but I suspect not all...
[ 2014.08.30 03:14:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns.
[ 2014.08.30 03:14:52 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I see. Have her come and speak to me, Luna, when you next see her... please"
[ 2014.08.30 03:15:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.08.30 03:16:31 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote looks to Kat feeling as though he's intruding. "Sit with me for a minute?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:16:37 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles, picks up his glass and finishes his drink. "Thank you"
[ 2014.08.30 03:18:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Would you like to take a walk Tiger?
[ 2014.08.30 03:18:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances down the beach.
[ 2014.08.30 03:18:56 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote pushes the glass away, and rises from his stool. "Why not. That sounds ideal"
[ 2014.08.30 03:19:14 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "Of course."
[ 2014.08.30 03:21:26 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote heads slowly towards the path, looking back to see if Luna is following
[ 2014.08.30 03:21:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rises and follows.



Cerra Manor - Somewhere on the Beach
---------------------------------------------------------------

[ 2014.08.30 03:22:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote follows Tiger onto the beach.
[ 2014.08.30 03:22:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote waits for Luna on the path, then continues towards the beach as she nears. "It's a nice evening, isn't it?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:22:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "it is lovely" and glances up at the sky and the stars.
[ 2014.08.30 03:23:31 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "There are some days when I actually choose to sleep on the shore, rather than up at the Manor, you know?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:23:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I didn't know, but I can see the appeal."
[ 2014.08.30 03:24:49 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote laughs. "I doubt you could rough it, and enjoy it as I do...." he pauses. "So what's on your mind, Luna?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:25:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances over the surf. "I've been thinking about what you told me, and I appreciate.. your candor."
[ 2014.08.30 03:26:47 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles and follows her line of sight to the surf. "Well, I like you Luna. I have no interest in lying to you, and if total honesty buys me credibility, then so be it"
[ 2014.08.30 03:27:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I told maria that we spoke and your answers satisfied me. I didn't go into details."
[ 2014.08.30 03:27:39 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head thoughtfully. "So her problem with me stemmed from the same concerns you had?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:28:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes to a degree... I didn't realize how much until you mentioned the father remark...
[ 2014.08.30 03:28:51 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Ahhh, I see. Why didn't she just confront me about it? I thought her and I were close at one point"
[ 2014.08.30 03:29:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think it was too close perhaps. Her father.. my second husband Michaelus.. was killed by Blood Raiders.
[ 2014.08.30 03:30:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Your second husband? Didn't you marry him at eighteen?" he asks, stopping to look at her.
[ 2014.08.30 03:30:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "If she saw you as a father figure and then thought you were Sani Sabik... " *trails off at Tiger's questio*
[ 2014.08.30 03:30:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes and says in a strained voice "Correct."
[ 2014.08.30 03:31:17 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote quirks a brow. "Your first marriage can't have lasted long..." he trails off, realising just how personal he's being by asking.
[ 2014.08.30 03:31:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote mutters and says in a strained voice "two weeks and it was annulled."
[ 2014.08.30 03:32:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks extemely closed at this point.
[ 2014.08.30 03:32:41 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I hope you don't mind my asking, Luna, but I'm interested in you.." he says, offering her a warm smile. "Though that helps explain why Maria was so off with me"
[ 2014.08.30 03:33:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly "Yes. I think so. Especially given her comment,. She seems more relaxed lately especially after she shot down the heretic Nauplius"
[ 2014.08.30 03:34:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I need to deliver the crate. The artwork may be being put into a museum on Nova Carra.. I hope you will let me know of any further developments on what we talked about?
[ 2014.08.30 03:34:40 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Well, I hope she'll be okay with me, given what we spoke about the last time" he sighs, slowly continuing to walk along the beach.
[ 2014.08.30 03:34:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Tigerfish, walking with him.
[ 2014.08.30 03:35:20 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles at her again. "You know I will, Luna. You'll be the very first to know anything I do...."
[ 2014.08.30 03:35:28 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Although...." he trails off a moment
[ 2014.08.30 03:35:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says firmly in a soft goice "After Shalee, I expect"
[ 2014.08.30 03:35:55 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I did talk to Vlad, later that night. I wanted to see if he'd heard anything, but he said he hadn't"
[ 2014.08.30 03:36:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns to herself. "Do you yhink he is lying?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:36:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns. "Why after Shalee? I don't see her very often, so we seldom talk about anything important"
[ 2014.08.30 03:36:59 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shrugs his shoulders. "I don't trust Vlad, Luna. But I never did"
[ 2014.08.30 03:37:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I believe she and I share similar interests.
[ 2014.08.30 03:37:44 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I simply mean that Shalee and I spend more time talking about other things, Luna"
[ 2014.08.30 03:38:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2014.08.30 03:39:17 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles and heads back to that same log on the beach - a little blacker than before, but still in roughly the same spot. "Besides, what interests do you share with Shalee?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:40:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses, then responds "in preserving the security of our people.. in different ways of course but the goals are the same."
[ 2014.08.30 03:41:17 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Same goal we all have, of course... I'm sorry, by the way" he appends. "I didn't mean to pry about your husband. I didn't know about the whole Blood Raider thing"
[ 2014.08.30 03:41:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs. "I know you know her mind better than me."
[ 2014.08.30 03:41:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.08.30 03:41:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Shalees?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:41:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Of course.
[ 2014.08.30 03:42:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles. "Truthfully we spend most of our time in bed. I don't know her as well as I used to"
[ 2014.08.30 03:43:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns. "The two of you need to spend some time... somewhere.. where you have to do things. Of out bed."
[ 2014.08.30 03:44:12 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I totally agree... but I'm a passionate man, Luna" he sighs.
[ 2014.08.30 03:46:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. "The passion can that much sweeter if you reconnect a bit first in other ways."
[ 2014.08.30 03:47:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Have you taken her to Caldari space?
[ 2014.08.30 03:48:00 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You're quite right, of course" he says, leaning back and looking out towards the surf again, watching as the tiny white waves crash along the beach. "Caldari space? There's nothing much up that way"
[ 2014.08.30 03:49:02 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote hesitates a little, then looks from the surf back to Luna. "So tell me a little more about yourself. You seem to know me quite well now"
[ 2014.08.30 03:50:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles mysteriously "Not much to tell. I am in an independent business woman these days so I am a jack of all trades."
[ 2014.08.30 03:50:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Rather.. boring.. really i think.
[ 2014.08.30 03:51:46 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shakes his head. "I already know that. Tell me something else"
[ 2014.08.30 03:52:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles. "Although some of my customers keep me on my toes. Like the Contessa who had me search low security space for a slave's misplaced cat."
[ 2014.08.30 03:52:52 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote laughs. "A slave's misplaced cat? Must love her slave"
[ 2014.08.30 03:53:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well... her investment in it. *sourly*
[ 2014.08.30 03:53:46 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles. "So are you with anyone?" he asks casually, looking back out towards the surf.
[ 2014.08.30 03:54:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I was with someone until fairly recently.
[ 2014.08.30 03:54:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Right now my focus is on the Society and the building of it. It.. was distracting.
[ 2014.08.30 03:55:49 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Probably for the best, I guess. I doubt I could live like that, as I'm sure you couldn't live my life"
[ 2014.08.30 03:56:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says that quite quickly, then nods at Tiger.
[ 2014.08.30 03:56:29 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I'd need the intimacy, I think"
[ 2014.08.30 03:56:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly and murmers "it felt too much like cheating to me."
[ 2014.08.30 03:57:16 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "On your second husband?" he asks, leaning forward and looking across at her.
[ 2014.08.30 03:57:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > they never found him you know?
[ 2014.08.30 03:57:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But of course I know what usually happens to those kidnapped by them.
[ 2014.08.30 03:58:49 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Never found him?" he says softly with a low sigh. "You still have hope, don't you?"
[ 2014.08.30 03:59:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes, I suppose a part of me does. I became a Paladin to try to look for him... we did free some poor wretches but I never found him.
[ 2014.08.30 04:00:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Space is huge...
[ 2014.08.30 04:00:44 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote licks his lower lip, then lowers his eyes to the sand. "I would offer to help, if I could Luna. But my former contacts are Sani, nor Raider"
[ 2014.08.30 04:01:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Later I came to understand there was a difference, I suppose."
[ 2014.08.30 04:02:11 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Well, if I can ever help, just let me know"
[ 2014.08.30 04:02:16 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote offers Luna a warm smile again.
[ 2014.08.30 04:02:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly "thank you. I think at this point it's in God's hands"
[ 2014.08.30 04:03:43 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Maybe so. How long ago did he disappear?"
[ 2014.08.30 04:04:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > 15 years ago. Maria was four or five.
[ 2014.08.30 04:04:47 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods, remaining silent for a moment or two. "I see. That's quite a while"
[ 2014.08.30 04:04:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Naturally he was declared dead after a few years. My Uncle Johanes took us in shortlly after he vanished.
[ 2014.08.30 04:05:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think it affected all of us... but the boys had the most time with he and I. Maria to a degree didn't have the same benefits being the youngest and I was so focused on becoming and being a Paladin...
[ 2014.08.30 04:06:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think I let her down in many ways.
[ 2014.08.30 04:06:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns to herself.
[ 2014.08.30 04:06:37 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You know it's a little ironic, but I was raised by my uncle too" he offers. "Maria is a wonderful girl, Luna. You did a fantastic job with her"
[ 2014.08.30 04:07:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes and says "Johanes is eccentric but he loves his family. he's had many children, both his own and adopted."
[ 2014.08.30 04:07:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And I can only hope I did what i could with her.
[ 2014.08.30 04:07:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns as her datapad beeps.
[ 2014.08.30 04:08:06 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks down at her datapad. "You have to leave?"
[ 2014.08.30 04:08:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs. "I think I need to head back to the Manor and start packing. But I will see if i can stall a few days."
[ 2014.08.30 04:08:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "A customer needs me to deal with an issue"
[ 2014.08.30 04:08:44 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I'd like that, Luna. For you to stay I mean. I really enjoy having you around"
[ 2014.08.30 04:09:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly and turns ariund to walk back up to the manor. "I've enjoyed my stay" and smiles at Tiger.
[ 2014.08.30 04:09:44 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote rises. "Luna?"
[ 2014.08.30 04:10:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote begins walking, looking to see if Tiger follows "Yes?"
[ 2014.08.30 04:10:34 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shakes his head, deciding not to say what he wanted to say. "It doesn't matter" he mumbles, as he follows after her towards the Manor.
[ 2014.08.30 04:11:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "Okay" and gives Tigerfish a confused smile.
[ 2014.08.30 04:11:56 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote gives her a reassuring smile and pats her lightly on the arm as he walks past her.

**Some days later, after a few hauls and a ship change, docked in a station off Nova Carra**

[ 2014.09.22 01:45:24 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote notes that she's in the parlour, not the gang plank
[ 2014.09.22 01:45:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters and smiles. "Hello Contessa. I am glad you could arrange time for us to meet tonight"
[ 2014.09.22 01:46:31 ] Erin Savonarola > "Not a problem at all, my dear. And what did I say? In private, just call me Erin."
[ 2014.09.22 01:46:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes "I wasn't sure I was still allowed..." *trails off*
[ 2014.09.22 01:46:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Erin is there anyone else we are waiting for?"
[ 2014.09.22 01:47:18 ] Erin Savonarola > "Alexi might show up. Not sure. She's off doing her own tasks."
[ 2014.09.22 01:48:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Then if you and your bodyguards can follow me. I will take you to my holds. The container I received it from the Abbess is a furnished modular room."
[ 2014.09.22 01:48:43 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote gestures to Luna to lead the way and she'll follow
[ 2014.09.22 01:49:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote leads Erin through a well lit, extremely clean and highly maintained vessel.
[ 2014.09.22 01:49:47 ] Erin Savonarola > "I must say this is the first time I have been in a ship of this class."
[ 2014.09.22 01:50:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "It is specially equipped to run through low security space."
[ 2014.09.22 01:50:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote arrives at the Cargo hold. She turns to Erin "I anticipated this so I asked my crew to move the container near the entrance so we didn't have to climb all over looking for it,...." *chuckles softly*
[ 2014.09.22 01:51:24 ] Erin Savonarola > "Thank you." she smiles
[ 2014.09.22 01:51:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote opens the doors to the Cargo hold which is fairly cavernous with shipping containers from floor to ceiling. She does not venture further into it, however, as a Black Container is right at the entrance. it is locked with blinking lights and -c-
[ 2014.09.22 01:51:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > sensors at the doors.
[ 2014.09.22 01:52:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose "The Abbess was concerned this could be a 'shrine' of sorts if it fell into the wrong hands..."
[ 2014.09.22 01:52:29 ] Erin Savonarola > "I see." she looks with caution at the container
[ 2014.09.22 01:52:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote leans over and places her eye towards one sensor while placing her fingertips and palm against another.

[ 2014.09.22 01:54:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters, twitching slightly and trembling a little before she settles herself, visibly.
[ 2014.09.22 01:54:52 ] Erin Savonarola > "Are you okay, my dear?"
[ 2014.09.22 01:55:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I.... the subject matter is difficult for me.
[ 2014.09.22 01:55:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that there are chairs and a table.
[ 2014.09.22 01:57:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sits down heavily at one of the chairs, glancing at the pictures, in particular Ashes .
[ 2014.09.22 01:58:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Erin.
[ 2014.09.22 01:59:36 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote takes a look around and heads over to the first paining. "Hrmm. That's disgusting. I am not sure I want to show the picture of a Blood Raider holding a head."
[ 2014.09.22 02:00:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose and nods.
[ 2014.09.22 02:01:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > On the other hand... *softly* it shows what scum they are.
[ 2014.09.22 02:01:23 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote shudders and heads to the second. "Wow. That's stark. I can really feel the evil from that."
[ 2014.09.22 02:02:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shifts back and forth slightly and says in a strained voice "I try not to remember that one...."
[ 2014.09.22 02:02:44 ] Erin Savonarola > "That's an Imperial symbol on them. Hrmm."
[ 2014.09.22 02:03:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says bleakly "Probably a raid on a colony.... or a ship."
[ 2014.09.22 02:03:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is looking increasingly pale.
[ 2014.09.22 02:04:09 ] Erin Savonarola > "I meant the Blood Raider. That's an Imperial symbol on her chest."
[ 2014.09.22 02:04:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "They infiltrate.... as I am sure you know. Lord Raholan got careless and forgot that..."
[ 2014.09.22 02:04:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Damn them.
[ 2014.09.22 02:05:29 ] Erin Savonarola > "That might be a good lesson."
[ 2014.09.22 02:05:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly. "Yes. A warning."
[ 2014.09.22 02:07:21 ] Erin Savonarola > "This ship painting. I like it, as well."
[ 2014.09.22 02:07:34 ] Erin Savonarola > "For the exhibit, not for it's artistic value."
[ 2014.09.22 02:07:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.09.22 02:10:40 ] Erin Savonarola > "A Cardinal? Well, we'll have to leave that little bit out. Undermining the faith inthe clergy is not good."
[ 2014.09.22 02:11:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > We can delete that line of course Erin.
[ 2014.09.22 02:11:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You'd be surprised at the clergy we arrested.. when I was doing such things...
[ 2014.09.22 02:11:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote mutters "a long time ago"
[ 2014.09.22 02:11:55 ] Erin Savonarola > "I am sure. But we don't want the commoners to know."

[ 2014.09.22 02:14:13 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote looks at the gloves "Physical items are always a must. Having one is a good thing, but my God. These people."
[ 2014.09.22 02:14:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks like she is about to burst as Erin looks at that glove.
[ 2014.09.22 02:16:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "That damn glove may have belonged to Revan Neferis according to the archivists notes. Did you know some of that crew may be returning?" She blurts.
[ 2014.09.22 02:17:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Her old spymaster made an appearance on the Summit of all places.. when it was quiet.
[ 2014.09.22 02:17:25 ] Erin Savonarola > "Delusions of grandeur."
[ 2014.09.22 02:17:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods, settling down.
[ 2014.09.22 02:18:14 ] Erin Savonarola > "Can you really call them people?"
[ 2014.09.22 02:18:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *flatly* no.
[ 2014.09.22 02:19:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > There was a raid on Cerra Manor by some other associates of hers.
[ 2014.09.22 02:19:25 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, the more reason for me not to go."
[ 2014.09.22 02:19:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I was asked to investigate at the same time the Abbess.. unloaded... this on me. Curse her black heart.
[ 2014.09.22 02:19:47 ] Erin Savonarola > "I won't tell the Abbess you said that."
[ 2014.09.22 02:20:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is visibly worked up. "My pardon Erin... just. ugh."
[ 2014.09.22 02:20:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Let's focus on whats at hand....
[ 2014.09.22 02:20:37 ] Erin Savonarola > "Oh, now we're getting to the good stuff. Cities burned, cultists killed."
[ 2014.09.22 02:21:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets a grim look of satisfaction on her face, although a tear is in her eye.
[ 2014.09.22 02:22:57 ] Erin Savonarola > "Now, I am all for abstract. But, wow. Nope."
[ 2014.09.22 02:23:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles dryly "I never could understand Pablo."
[ 2014.09.22 02:23:58 ] Erin Savonarola > "This Angelus does good work. Both his paintings are good."
[ 2014.09.22 02:24:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > If your Museum Shop sells them. I may get a print of the Avenging Angel...
[ 2014.09.22 02:24:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > If they are made.
[ 2014.09.22 02:25:54 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, I will see to it you get one." she smiles 'It is quite good."
[ 2014.09.22 02:27:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2014.09.22 02:27:53 ] Erin Savonarola > "And burning I can get behind! Delightful!"
[ 2014.09.22 02:29:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is recovering her color slightly "Yes."
[ 2014.09.22 02:31:35 ] Erin Savonarola > "More burning. At Solfete City. Oh, splendid. Someone mislabeled the location. The burnings happen, mostly at Saing Victoria's Square. Minor note."
[ 2014.09.22 02:32:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pulls out her datapad, taking notes.
[ 2014.09.22 02:34:58 ] Erin Savonarola > "This last picture . . . midsummer, that was at the Conte Alighieri park in Solfete City."
[ 2014.09.22 02:35:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote taps a few keys.
[ 2014.09.22 02:36:26 ] Erin Savonarola > "This one of a sacrifice. It makes me want to throw up. I'll think on it."
[ 2014.09.22 02:36:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.09.22 02:37:40 ] Erin Savonarola > "I'm not sure I want to show too much."
[ 2014.09.22 02:38:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "I think more than anything else that shows the horror. They are not just a group of misunderstood teenagers trying to drink blood and pretend to be cool"
[ 2014.09.22 02:39:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "They kidnap and do things to people.. like that."
[ 2014.09.22 02:39:52 ] Erin Savonarola > "True. Let's go. I've seen enough."
[ 2014.09.22 02:39:55 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote 's camera drone buzzes around in little loops and swirls, looking at each piece and making little shutter sounds.
[ 2014.09.22 02:40:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches in alarm. "Tell Hans and Frans to shoot that thing"
[ 2014.09.22 02:40:56 ] Erin Savonarola > *Notes that they already have, well before it got close."
[ 2014.09.22 02:41:10 ] Rhoxy Runekin > *bzzzzt- twitch*
[ 2014.09.22 02:41:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pulls out her datapad and yells at someone.
[ 2014.09.22 02:42:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says in a strained voice. "My pardon. I think that was an errant cleaning drone."
[ 2014.09.22 02:42:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote leads Erin out.
[ 2014.09.22 02:42:21 ] EVE System > Rhoxy Runekin was kicked from the channel by Lunarisse Aspenstar

[ 2014.09.22 02:42:31 ] Erin Savonarola > "Apologies, just bill me, but my security, they were startled."
[ 2014.09.22 02:42:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods as she departs and guides Erin back to the station.
