Location: SFRIM Offices. Bar. Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons FactorySetting: The main gathering area of the Society, the bar sports plush leather couches centered around a long coffee table. Low music plays songs from around the galaxy. The soft blue lighting is easy on the eyes, but still light enough to see what you're doing and where you're going. The shelves are filled haphazardly with bottles of spirits, clearly labeled. Luna's name is by the spiced wine and other vintages from around New Eden, with a few religious texts leaning against the bottles. The whiskeys shelf label has been taped over by Freya and Lucas, each bidding for ownership. There is a shelf with rum on it, with a fresh label reading 'Alexi'. Above that, is Nicoletta's shelf, with juice mixes and exotic wine, with a few bottles of absinthe here and there. Cocktail mixers and a jar of little umbrellas wrapped with a piece of tape reading 'Gottin's Dont Touch!!' is on her shelf. There is a shelf with a pair of bottles, one full of Absynth and the other full of Chocolate Irish Cream and etched "Lady Anise Tig'res of the Khanid Kingdom." A long line of bottles of Quafe are on a shelf with a "DON'T TOUCH!" sign by Rhoxy. Johanes has a shelf with brandies and cognac and a lone bottle of smurgleblaster. There are a few other shelves that hold overflow for now, waiting for new corp members to claim them.
[ 2015.01.24 04:46:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote changes her mind and takes Brent to the bar.
[ 2015.01.24 04:47:52 ] Brent Anderson > "Nice selection......."
[ 2015.01.24 04:48:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes, each member gets their own shelf if they ask for it.
[ 2015.01.24 04:48:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have a seat Brent. Can I get you a drink?"
[ 2015.01.24 04:49:49 ] Brent Anderson > *take a corner of a couch.* "yes is there a small shot of 20 year caldari wiskey? just two fingers of it?"
[ 2015.01.24 04:50:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose. 'Hmm." She goes behind the bar and begins to look.
[ 2015.01.24 04:51:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have you had a chance to consider my communication to you? I rarely invite people to the Society, but what happened this week makes me think I need to be more proactive."
[ 2015.01.24 04:51:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote adds "I usually wait for people to contact me." She glances at the shelves.
[ 2015.01.24 04:53:49 ] Brent Anderson > "I've been thinking about it and thinking and then decided whats to think about it. Simply put I've seen you and the people in your company quite knowledgable and tolerant.....Plus you know of my gallery and the Theology council hasn't come to call."
[ 2015.01.24 04:54:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles softly. "Our private thoughts and places should be our own...." She reaches up on her tippy toes to grab a bottle.
[ 2015.01.24 04:54:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "If it were public, that'd be another story" she adds as an afterthought.
[ 2015.01.24 04:55:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote muses "Although, really, 99 percent of it was fine..."
[ 2015.01.24 04:55:38 ] Brent Anderson > "yeah......still only half remember painting it all."
[ 2015.01.24 04:55:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Did you jettison out the airlock the piece we discussed?"
[ 2015.01.24 04:56:33 ] Brent Anderson > "faceless Emperess.......yep chooped it up and sent it on a trip into the sun."
[ 2015.01.24 04:57:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks slightly more relaxed. She asks "How do you like your whiskey?"
[ 2015.01.24 04:57:26 ] Brent Anderson > "One cube ice only please."
[ 2015.01.24 04:58:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. She goes to the freezer and gets an ice cube. "yes, I remember that night. You were quite out of it."
[ 2015.01.24 04:58:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I thought we've had much chance to talk since... you vanished until recently."
[ 2015.01.24 04:58:35 ] Brent Anderson > "Dare I ask how out of it was I?"
[ 2015.01.24 04:58:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You passed out."
[ 2015.01.24 04:59:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thal and someone else helped me to take you to your quarters."
[ 2015.01.24 05:00:28 ] Brent Anderson > "Ah so that wasn't a poorly remebered dream.......er.......you didn't give me a shower did you?"
[ 2015.01.24 05:00:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles. "Not me. Thal did I think."
[ 2015.01.24 05:00:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pours some whiskey into the glass.
[ 2015.01.24 05:00:54 ] Brent Anderson > "No wait now that I think bout it i DOn't......drat.....DRAT......"
[ 2015.01.24 05:01:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles.
[ 2015.01.24 05:02:28 ] Brent Anderson > "okay putting that mind image away forever I hope....."
[ 2015.01.24 05:04:16 ] Brent Anderson > *accepts the glass of wiskey and sniffs at is smokey flavor*
[ 2015.01.24 05:06:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "yes, do so." She takes a seat, still amused.
[ 2015.01.24 05:08:06 ] Brent Anderson > "But to your orginal question I feel the need to be a part of something to help other.....To try and make the 'Golden Fleet' painting a reallity....but doing it alone would take forever with friends not so long."
[ 2015.01.24 05:08:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Interesting. Well.. I guess I'd be willing to try. At least here you'd have friends to take sustenance from as you work on it...
[ 2015.01.24 05:09:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > We are unified here by our ideals not so uch our in-space activities. But as you saw earlier this week there are times we do act together when needed.
[ 2015.01.24 05:09:52 ] Brent Anderson > And I wouldn't mind helping out their dream as well.....I do have some skills others may find useful
[ 2015.01.24 05:10:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > What sort of skills?
[ 2015.01.24 05:10:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a seat in a lounge chair that has a cozy blanket which she pulls up over lap.
[ 2015.01.24 05:11:59 ] Brent Anderson > I can fly every standard class of ships up to battlships of all four races....I can command and do own a Ocra Minig command ship as well as Packmule Omega My Providence class Amarrian Freighter.
[ 2015.01.24 05:13:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well.. all of that could have been of use in recent events.
[ 2015.01.24 05:13:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles.
[ 2015.01.24 05:14:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I did discuss with you already what we have to offer, i think. The way this works is Praefecta Mithra wants to me ask 3 questions of each appplicant
[ 2015.01.24 05:14:53 ] Brent Anderson > My other skills are that I am a Okay to middling artist. Grandmaster class in Pistoleer, master class with throwing knives. and several hand to hand masteries....
[ 2015.01.24 05:15:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says firmly "you are a fine artist."
[ 2015.01.24 05:15:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "if you joined us, i would permit you to have a studio. I'd add it there" She gestures to the 'south' side of the room.
[ 2015.01.24 05:16:54 ] Brent Anderson > "Oh....Nice....would you model for me as well?...."*Gives a playful wink at the comment*
[ 2015.01.24 05:18:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stiffens slightly and murmers "Don't press your luck" she says with a slight edge that quickly fades to amusement after a moment.
[ 2015.01.24 05:18:59 ] Brent Anderson > "Sorry Luna was joking about it wasn't serious."
[ 2015.01.24 05:19:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles softly "Alright."
[ 2015.01.24 05:19:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gazes at Brent "I confess with you, I suspect the answers to my questions may be interesting. Are you ready to begin?"
[ 2015.01.24 05:20:09 ] Brent Anderson > "Yes"
[ 2015.01.24 05:22:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Alright, What do you think the essence of the Amarr Faith is?
[ 2015.01.24 05:25:07 ] Brent Anderson > To believe in god and his written works in the scripture as well writing he made in your heart. To spread this Joyest word across the galaxy to all who will listen and belive but to do so humblely without tainting the word with acts of greed or bigotry.
[ 2015.01.24 05:26:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods looking satisfied.
[ 2015.01.24 05:27:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > A follow up though..
[ 2015.01.24 05:27:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > How do you put that belief into practice
[ 2015.01.24 05:27:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly.
[ 2015.01.24 05:29:22 ] Brent Anderson > By being who I am.....living how I belive not caring who will think what of me...I do it out of love for the scripture, Love of god, love of doing the right thing. I would help all who ask me for it and showing my faith to all by living it always.
[ 2015.01.24 05:30:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cup of 'irish' ((eve whatever it is)) coffee as she nods.
[ 2015.01.24 05:32:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Alright our next question, is it more important in the eye sof God to simply be True Amarr or to live a rightous, God-fearing life in accord with his Word?
[ 2015.01.24 05:35:00 ] Brent Anderson > *Looks a little puzzled at that one*...."To be True Amarr was to be a rightous and god-fearing and it was to live life in accord with his word. But if I was to choose the two as spoken I would choose to live Rightous and god-fearing life with his word."
[ 2015.01.24 05:36:27 ] Brent Anderson > "To be True Amarr would change to meet everyone elses Ideal of 'True Amarr'.....a very shaky foundation to be sure."
[ 2015.01.24 05:38:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2015.01.24 05:39:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Alright last question..
[ 2015.01.24 05:39:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gazes at Brent "What is your view of slavery and the purpose of it today?"
[ 2015.01.24 05:41:39 ] Brent Anderson > "Much diferent then I think it was meant to be. As a holder I now have slaves people who look to me for guidance leadership. My job is to keep them safe to help them and their families grow in community and grow in spirit with god and his scripture. "
[ 2015.01.24 05:42:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly as she listens.
[ 2015.01.24 05:43:50 ] Brent Anderson > "But today I feel that slavery is not the people being given to be taken care of by a learned an powerful holder who does hold the needs of the people in there hearts to ones who only see slaves as a means of weath and power,"
[ 2015.01.24 05:45:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "Almost as if they lose sight of the Scriptural purpose"
[ 2015.01.24 05:46:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > With respect to your job, as you put it. I am sure even you have some recalcitrant slaves.
[ 2015.01.24 05:46:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > How do you handle that?
[ 2015.01.24 05:46:38 ] Brent Anderson > "It is those people I oppose not just because I feel they are doing a deep hurtful wrong to the people enslaved but even more so what they are doing to the scripture. How could a slave child want to learn of God when her masters say god demands this."
[ 2015.01.24 05:48:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly, then indicates to her question.
[ 2015.01.24 05:49:57 ] Brent Anderson > "Hmm" *smiles* "I had this issue already.... and young slave who survived the towns destruction by the tidal wave ran away into the jungle and lived. 'Free' He came back and stole food and other things after his fourth attempt the paladins caught him."
[ 2015.01.24 05:51:49 ] Brent Anderson > "I was now the holder so he was brought before me for judgement. He stood tall and proud saying he was free. I asked him if he was free why did he steal food from the others who where starving, or took the blankets from a childs bed so now she's cold?
[ 2015.01.24 05:52:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2015.01.24 05:54:14 ] Brent Anderson > He stuttered unable to give a reply. So I asked him did he swear loyalty to me? he said no. So then I said if he returned the blankets and replaced the food he would not be punished as for his freedom he could live on a smaller island nearby but no thef
[ 2015.01.24 05:56:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2015.01.24 05:56:33 ] Brent Anderson > theft. He agreed and got fish to replace the food he took. I waited for two months before I visited him. He had done Okay for himself but he was so EAGER to speak to someone anyone it was a bit sad. "
[ 2015.01.24 05:56:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I bet.
[ 2015.01.24 05:58:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > What happened after he spoke with you
[ 2015.01.24 05:58:23 ] Brent Anderson > "He finally asked me after my third visit why he just didn't have the paladins enslave me again. I said because that would teach you nothing save resentment of the faith I belive in. You need to understand freedom is not Free or easy it is very hard
[ 2015.01.24 05:59:31 ] Brent Anderson > and it taxes you in ways you cannot understand until you endure it."
[ 2015.01.24 06:00:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > An intriguing lesson. Not sure I totally agree but I think you share sufficient commonality with our views...
[ 2015.01.24 06:00:49 ] Brent Anderson > "If you want to be free you need get up every morning and get your food for the day to make shelter for yourself an all manner of other things."
[ 2015.01.24 06:00:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods, listening.
[ 2015.01.24 06:03:01 ] Brent Anderson > "You need to find others who are the same as you are inside with faith and belief to do the right things.....I belive in the scripture and all thats written there to be the guide in my life I would be happy to share my knowledge and show you that path
[ 2015.01.24 06:04:17 ] Brent Anderson > but I can only show it....if I force you onto it your heart is not there if I drug you onto it your heart is not there....if I lead you too it and you walk it knowing you can stop whenever you choose to but choose not to your heart is filled with it and
[ 2015.01.24 06:04:54 ] Brent Anderson > is the purest of belief and faith that will fill your heart and that is from god himself not me."
[ 2015.01.24 06:05:59 ] Brent Anderson > "The boy asked to to teach him....so I did.......he has begged to learn at the theology council about the scriptures as a scribe so I had him sent there.....he is very happy."
[ 2015.01.24 06:06:55 ] Brent Anderson > "He bears the title of 'Slave' but in his heart he is Free and knows god has a plan and place for him."
[ 2015.01.24 06:07:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her drink. "An interesting approach. It did seem to have results in your case..."
[ 2015.01.24 06:08:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well we do allow for a diversity of viewpoints within limits in the Society. I think you will fit in.
[ 2015.01.24 06:09:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I do not think I need to wait for Praefecta Mithra to review the log. Althogh she may have questions of her own later.
[ 2015.01.24 06:09:28 ] Brent Anderson > "Well i Hope I do more then just fit.....making it grow and thrive would be nice."
[ 2015.01.24 06:09:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You are invited to join, Brent, if you still want to.
[ 2015.01.24 06:09:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles. "I am sure you will help with that"
[ 2015.01.24 06:13:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Welcome brent.
[ 2015.01.24 06:13:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles.
[ 2015.01.24 06:13:59 ] Brent Anderson > Thank you......Oh I forgot I can drive all Mining ships as well save the new little cloaking one
[ 2015.01.24 06:14:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh lovely!
[ 2015.01.24 06:14:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > We mine in Latari and have our mining POS there.
[ 2015.01.24 06:14:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > If you wish to mine or boost, that would be quite welcome! We only ask for a small goodwill donation towards the POS in hangar 3 from time to time.
[ 2015.01.24 06:15:25 ] Brent Anderson > What would help the most?
[ 2015.01.24 06:15:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Mining and giving a donation.
[ 2015.01.24 06:15:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Right now Gottin, our busiest miner, is on leave.
[ 2015.01.24 06:16:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > When she is active, she has a fleetof five ships and the boost is helpful.
[ 2015.01.24 06:16:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > If you are not able to make arrangements stationside, we do have sleeping quarters for quick bunking, *she indicates*
[ 2015.01.24 06:17:10 ] Brent Anderson > Hmm well now its six ships with a fellow who can fly and orca if need be.
[ 2015.01.24 06:17:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Yes." She looks tired suddenly.
[ 2015.01.24 06:17:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Forgive me brent, it's been a long week. I need to retire now,.
[ 2015.01.24 06:18:40 ] Brent Anderson > *Points out the station window at Packmule Omega* feel free to ask for quarters aboard....it can hold a crew of 7,000 with families. I have a few spare rooms
[ 2015.01.24 06:18:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smles.
[ 2015.01.24 06:18:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I will remember. have a Blessed night Brent." She rises.
[ 2015.01.24 06:19:09 ] Brent Anderson > Sleep Well Luna
[ 2015.01.24 06:20:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exits to the sleeping quarters.
