---------------------------------------------------------------
Channel Name: Gottin's Lamp - Bar
---------------------------------------------------------------
Location: SFRIM Offices. Bar. Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons Factory
Setting: 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. 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. One shelf labeled "Lord Anderson's" has three bottles of brandy from Gallente space, along with other liquors. Another shelf labeled "Lord Tash-Murkon" has a secure black metal container with a biometric lock with a Sapidum Distillery Emblem - 'Sapidum 255' from a Khanid small batch distillery on Oris. Lunarisse's shelf has spiced wine and other vintages from around New Eden, with a few religious texts leaning against the bottles. New to her collection is one tall, elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Cream Liqueur, one tall elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Chocolate Liqueur, one stout, wide bottle with amarrian scroll work of Chocolate sauce with added black tea all wrapped in a secure richly coloured, dark wood box.There are a few other shelves that hold overflow for now, waiting for new corp members to claim them.

[ 2015.08.21 19:08:14 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote walks, almost staggers, in and pours an inappropriatley large drink
[ 2015.08.21 19:09:20 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote taking a large swig, he stumbles to the couches, flopping into one and holds his head in his hands
[ 2015.08.21 19:19:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is at the door from the sleeping area leaning on the frame, looking at the bar. She is freshly showered. Her hair is wet and pulled back. "A difficult day... Reinheart." She sighs.
[ 2015.08.21 19:19:29 ] Lyn Farel > /emote slips inside the room, her look a bit more disheveled than usual, her long hair now cut shorter and still damp from after the pod.
[ 2015.08.21 19:21:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote remains leaning on the door. She looks at Lyn. "I am pleased so many of us came. A pity we were as helpless as a declawed furrier pup"
[ 2015.08.21 19:21:08 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote looks up "Yes, far more so than I had imagined"
[ 2015.08.21 19:21:40 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote nods
[ 2015.08.21 19:22:10 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote enters into the bar...looking visably distraut
[ 2015.08.21 19:22:24 ] Reinheart Novan > I think that is the worst part, that there was nothing we could do....
[ 2015.08.21 19:22:32 ] Lyn Farel > /emote looks akward. "I guess I have yet to take a single shot at any drifter for now..."
[ 2015.08.21 19:24:09 ] Aria Jenneth > /emote pads quietly in from the entry hall. She lingers in the doorway for a moment, taking in the scene*
[ 2015.08.21 19:24:12 ] Lyn Farel > /emote looks even more embarassed seing how terrible they all seem to feel while she is just feeling awkward.
[ 2015.08.21 19:24:38 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote takes another large drink "I doubt it will stay that way for long Sister"
[ 2015.08.21 19:24:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes" She glances at the arrivals and straightens up. "Shall I make drinks?"
[ 2015.08.21 19:25:41 ] Aria Jenneth > *steps forward* ... I was ... about to volunteer for that, Directrix. Though ... maybe I'd be better put to use making a little food. If ... that would be helpful.
[ 2015.08.21 19:26:00 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I don't ... know if I'm very good with drinks.
[ 2015.08.21 19:26:16 ] Lyn Farel > /emote absentmindedly plays with a short and wet strand of her raven black hair.
[ 2015.08.21 19:26:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh do feel free Aria.. and thank you."
[ 2015.08.21 19:26:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote makes her way from the door frame and moves behind the bar. She quietly begins to mix some cockstails.
[ 2015.08.21 19:26:53 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods* I'm ... so ... sorry, Directrix. I'll see to it.
[ 2015.08.21 19:26:56 ] Lyn Farel > /emote bites her lower lip, even if she looks happy to see Aria.
[ 2015.08.21 19:27:18 ] Lucas Raholan > I..I...I failed as a Amarr, I failed as a person, I...I didn't even manage to fire my guns
[ 2015.08.21 19:27:32 ] Aria Jenneth > *she heads into the kitchen, pausing in passing to give Lyn a hug*
[ 2015.08.21 19:28:17 ] Lyn Farel > /emote blinks and straightens, before relaxing, closing her eyes, and returning it timidly.
[ 2015.08.21 19:28:20 ] Reinheart Novan > We all did Lucas, I had armour repairs all cycled up.
[ 2015.08.21 19:28:43 ] Lyn Farel > Would you... need help... ?
[ 2015.08.21 19:28:47 ] Reinheart Novan > but we held off following her holiness, thinking any threats would be nothing to her Avatar and waited for the flagship
[ 2015.08.21 19:28:58 ] Aria Jenneth > *she releases Lyn with a sad smile* I wouldn't say no.
[ 2015.08.21 19:29:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quietly mixes drinks mechanically, listening to the chatter.
[ 2015.08.21 19:29:30 ] Reinheart Novan > That was stupid, STUPID GOD DAMMIT!
[ 2015.08.21 19:29:30 ] Lyn Farel > /emote says with a serious face: "What do you want me to do?"
[ 2015.08.21 19:29:50 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote throws his half empty glass against a blukhead smashing it
[ 2015.08.21 19:30:00 ] Lyn Farel > /emote cringes at the sudden outburst, mechanically glancing at her feet awkwardly.
[ 2015.08.21 19:30:03 ] Lucas Raholan > If..if we had only been faster, we expected them.....and we failed to do anything
[ 2015.08.21 19:30:08 ] Aria Jenneth > ... well ... it looks like there'll be a lot of drinking going on. So ... we should-- AAAH! *ducks reflexively*
[ 2015.08.21 19:30:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Reinheart and says sharply "that will do"
[ 2015.08.21 19:30:21 ] Aria Jenneth > . . . .
[ 2015.08.21 19:30:40 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote suddenly drops his head "yes Diretorix, my apologies"
[ 2015.08.21 19:30:48 ] Aria Jenneth > ... um. Some munchies. Maybe a proper meal later, but ... right now, food that ... yeah. Goes well with drink.s
[ 2015.08.21 19:30:51 ] Aria Jenneth > *drinks.
[ 2015.08.21 19:31:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote exales, looking quite drained "yes we were out of position and out-gunned. We couldn't do a damn thing."
[ 2015.08.21 19:31:18 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote slumps back into the couch rubbing something from his eyes
[ 2015.08.21 19:31:54 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote is still in a state of shock,
[ 2015.08.21 19:32:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote resumes making the cocktails mechanically, "At times, the Universe sucks. Our newest member would say suffering is needed for growth" she adds bitterly.
[ 2015.08.21 19:32:12 ] Lyn Farel > /emote says faintly: "It looks like for single high value targets, going in space, no matter with what amount of protection uh... has become highly hazardous..."
[ 2015.08.21 19:32:52 ] Lyn Farel > /emote search through stuff in the kitchen, not quite sure what would be fitting.
[ 2015.08.21 19:33:39 ] Lyn Farel > /emote stumbles on those udorian pastries again, blinking, but still concentrated on her task.
[ 2015.08.21 19:33:52 ] Reinheart Novan > Did anyone hear anything if the Heirs made it to safety?
[ 2015.08.21 19:34:03 ] Lyn Farel > /emote tries to decide if they should do the job or prove misplaced...
[ 2015.08.21 19:34:09 ] Lucas Raholan > I, can only pray they remain safe
[ 2015.08.21 19:34:35 ] Lyn Farel > /emote glances at Reinheart. "According to uh... the Imperial Guard comms, they were confirmed safe..."
[ 2015.08.21 19:35:24 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote manages a half smile at Lyn "oh thanks unto God"
[ 2015.08.21 19:35:32 ] Lyn Farel > /emote eventually settles for the pastries.
[ 2015.08.21 19:35:37 ] Aria Jenneth > *quietly sets about getting out bowls of nuts and similar nibbles, to start*
[ 2015.08.21 19:36:09 ] Aria Jenneth > Um. Lyn? Could you maybe ... see about some skewers? I'm sure there are materials....
[ 2015.08.21 19:36:24 ] Aria Jenneth > I'll join you in a minute-- just need to run these out....
[ 2015.08.21 19:36:31 ] Ahman Nahrid > /emote pauses in the entrance to scan the room, carrying himself solemnly
[ 2015.08.21 19:37:10 ] Aria Jenneth > *does a quick delivery run with bowls of nuts and similar dry nibbles*
[ 2015.08.21 19:37:30 ] Aria Jenneth > *... before scurrying back into the kitchen*
[ 2015.08.21 19:37:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote finishes the drinks and makes her way around giving a glass to Reinheart, Lyn and Lucas.
[ 2015.08.21 19:37:37 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote sighing deeply gets up and walks over the broken glass and mess and starts to clean it up.
[ 2015.08.21 19:37:48 ] Lyn Farel > /emote brings up the pastries and drop them on sight, then starts to look for skewers with dedication.
[ 2015.08.21 19:37:50 ] Ahman Nahrid > /emote quietly makes his way to a free seat.
[ 2015.08.21 19:38:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances "Hello Captain Nahmid." She makes way her back around the bar and without being asked begins to make a new cocktail.
[ 2015.08.21 19:38:12 ] Lyn Farel > /emote grabs the glass uncertainly, glancing at the liquid inside.
[ 2015.08.21 19:38:37 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote sweeping the glass away takes his drink and wanders back to the couch
[ 2015.08.21 19:39:32 ] Ahman Nahrid > Grettings, Director.
[ 2015.08.21 19:40:06 ] Aria Jenneth > /emote begins going through the supplies in the kitchen, fishing out various and sundry sauce materials.
[ 2015.08.21 19:40:10 ] Lyn Farel > /emote continues to look for skewers, looking rather split between refusing it or going with it politely.
[ 2015.08.21 19:40:28 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote is sat low in his seat draining his glass of whiskey rather fast
[ 2015.08.21 19:40:56 ] Lyn Farel > /emote stumbles on achura chopsticks, considers them, but tosses them aside.
[ 2015.08.21 19:41:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that the drink, for lack of a better description is the Amarr version of a manhattan
[ 2015.08.21 19:41:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > (actually make that an old fashioned)
[ 2015.08.21 19:42:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly "Hello Captain. Have you heard the news?"
[ 2015.08.21 19:42:33 ] Lyn Farel > /emote drops her glass on a table before eventually finding what could pass for skewers.
[ 2015.08.21 19:42:42 ] Aria Jenneth > ... Um. Are there no skewers? Ah! Good.
[ 2015.08.21 19:43:03 ] Lyn Farel > /emote hands them to Aria.
[ 2015.08.21 19:43:06 ] Ahman Nahrid > I have. Though I was otherwise engaged and unable to witness the... battle, I have since visited Safizon and seen the remnant.
[ 2015.08.21 19:43:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "I am sure there were was no news of the Empress?"
[ 2015.08.21 19:44:10 ] Lyn Farel > /emote ponders a moment. "Ah... please forgive me, I am coming back right away!"
[ 2015.08.21 19:44:45 ] Lyn Farel > /emote turns back and leaves through the door to the library.
[ 2015.08.21 19:44:47 ] Aria Jenneth > ... Okay. Um. Please don't worry-- but ... thank you for the help!
[ 2015.08.21 19:44:49 ] Ahman Nahrid > Nothing but conjecture, though there was discussion of an .. anomalous energy trace akin to a wormhole about the titan's wreckage.
[ 2015.08.21 19:44:51 ] Aria Jenneth > ....
[ 2015.08.21 19:46:29 ] Ahman Nahrid > I suspect it to be lingering effect of the energies brought to bear upon it. Little is yet known of the drifter's weapons, and it is not inconceivable their primary weapon is able to form a gravitational rift within or about a target.
[ 2015.08.21 19:47:06 ] Lyn Farel > /emote gets back with a rather imposing candelabra in her hands, the exact mirror in size and shape of the black one she gave to Aria.
[ 2015.08.21 19:47:31 ] Lyn Farel > /emote scratches her head. "Maybe we should light it up."
[ 2015.08.21 19:48:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly at Ahman. "Yes, Lyn."
[ 2015.08.21 19:48:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote continues to make three more cocktails, for Ahman, Aria and herself.
[ 2015.08.21 19:48:43 ] Lucas Raholan > Luna, I have let you down, if only I was faster
[ 2015.08.21 19:48:46 ] Aria Jenneth > *sets the skewer-like items aside and fishes a cutting board out, followed by fishing a couple steaks and chicken breasts out of the fridge and sets about slicing them into bite-sized pieces*
[ 2015.08.21 19:50:01 ] Lyn Farel > /emote approaches Luna uncertainly. "Do... uh... do you want to light the first candle milady... ?"
[ 2015.08.21 19:50:19 ] Aria Jenneth > *she sets these aside and sets about mixing sugar, soy sauce, and a few other ingredients in a small bowl*
[ 2015.08.21 19:52:12 ] Ahman Nahrid > /emote emote sits back in the couch thoughtfully, slowly stroking the scruff of his chin
[ 2015.08.21 19:53:23 ] Aria Jenneth > *... and adds these, and the pile o' ex-animal bits, into a larger bowl*
[ 2015.08.21 19:54:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Lyn "wait a moment" she finishes the three drinks and brings them over to Aria, Ahman and places hers on a table.
[ 2015.08.21 19:54:46 ] Ahman Nahrid > /emote sits straight and carefully takes the glass as it is offered. "Thank you, Director."
[ 2015.08.21 19:55:09 ] Aria Jenneth > ...? Oh ... thank you, Directrix.
[ 2015.08.21 19:55:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Aria "of course", ever the proper hostess. She makes her way over to Lyn "Sure. Do you have matches."
[ 2015.08.21 19:56:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets a slight quirk of her lips "and have you asked our station people to turn off the fire sensors in this area. They are quite paranoid about flames"
[ 2015.08.21 19:56:30 ] Lyn Farel > "Ah uh... yes."
[ 2015.08.21 19:56:56 ] Lyn Farel > I am used to... lighting candles here...
[ 2015.08.21 19:57:14 ] Lyn Farel > /emote hands a tiny electronic lighter to Luna.
[ 2015.08.21 19:57:37 ] Ahman Nahrid > /emote quietly sips his drink a time, commenting with a low "hm" before setting it on a nearby stand and taking a datapad from his jacket, beginning to key in something or another
[ 2015.08.21 19:57:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets a slight smile "thank you" She takes it lights the first candle.
[ 2015.08.21 19:58:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Reinheart "Could you do the next one Sir?"
[ 2015.08.21 19:58:25 ] Lucas Raholan > What will we do now....
[ 2015.08.21 19:58:50 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote looks surprised with a quick glance to Lucas "my honour" he says as he stands
[ 2015.08.21 19:59:28 ] Ahman Nahrid > We hold. We absorb what we must, and carry on.
[ 2015.08.21 19:59:36 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote he lights the next candle saying quietly "By Your Light, By Your Will."
[ 2015.08.21 19:59:48 ] Ahman Nahrid > There is nothing else to do.
[ 2015.08.21 20:00:05 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote glances at the candle, seemingly still confused following the events
[ 2015.08.21 20:00:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "Thank you." She looks at Lucas and asks "Sir?" gesturing at an unlit candle.
[ 2015.08.21 20:00:20 ] Lyn Farel > /emote whispers to Aria. "I only have two of those... Uh... I am glad that you liked the other one..."
[ 2015.08.21 20:00:20 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote holds the lighter out to Lucas "here"
[ 2015.08.21 20:01:02 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *whispering back* I really did. Do, even.
[ 2015.08.21 20:01:27 ] Lyn Farel > /emote smiles wanly.
[ 2015.08.21 20:02:05 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I wish ... I had something ... similar to give in turn. But ... I guess this isn't the best time to think about that.
[ 2015.08.21 20:02:19 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote slowly takes the lighter and ignites his candle
[ 2015.08.21 20:02:28 ] Aria Jenneth > *she starts threading chunks of meat onto skewers*
[ 2015.08.21 20:03:26 ] Lucas Raholan > 'for her holy grace, may her light shine bright'
[ 2015.08.21 20:04:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods and murmers something under her breath. She looks at Ahman "Would you like to do the next?"
[ 2015.08.21 20:07:09 ] Ahman Nahrid > /emote looks at the candles thoughtfully a moment, then nods.
[ 2015.08.21 20:08:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly 'Lucas, if you could pass the lighter?"
[ 2015.08.21 20:08:42 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote snaps out of his daze and slowly hands Luna the lighter
[ 2015.08.21 20:09:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles lightly and says gently "To Ahman"
[ 2015.08.21 20:10:11 ] Aria Jenneth > *sets about the business of actually grilling the skewers she's worked up. Her demeanor is solemn and a little grim, but, perhaps not very surprisingly, she doesn't seem to be hit remotely as hard as the various Amarr in the Lamp*
[ 2015.08.21 20:10:17 ] Lucas Raholan > Oh right..yes
[ 2015.08.21 20:10:27 ] Lucas Raholan > /emote passes it toward Ahman
[ 2015.08.21 20:11:20 ] Lyn Farel > /emote glances between the candelabra and Aria's cooking. She looks somewhat enthusiastic about learning more about it.
[ 2015.08.21 20:11:23 ] Ahman Nahrid > /emote nods politely and takes the lighter, turning to light the candle. "Like these flames, life is transient. Yet the light of the throne shall never fade."
[ 2015.08.21 20:13:22 ] Lyn Farel > /emote waits for Ahman to finish, and glances at the last of the 5 candles still unlit.
[ 2015.08.21 20:13:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "Please, Lyn"
[ 2015.08.21 20:13:52 ] Ahman Nahrid > /emote turns to offer the lighter to Lyn
[ 2015.08.21 20:14:54 ] Lyn Farel > /emote gets the lighter and applies it in the direction of the last candle. She presses the button and the candle flips back to life.
[ 2015.08.21 20:16:38 ] Reinheart Novan > I wonder how long before the Chancellor makes an announcement?
[ 2015.08.21 20:17:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I don't know." She glances at the lit candles, watching them flicker.
[ 2015.08.21 20:17:21 ] Ahman Nahrid > /emote picks up his datapad as it chimes twice, tapping the screen and quietly reading a moment. A brow raises before he stands. "My apologies. I have an urgent meeting to attend."
[ 2015.08.21 20:17:43 ] Lucas Raholan > I imagine planning for the trails has already started.....they even be needed
[ 2015.08.21 20:17:56 ] Lucas Raholan > A.an..and all those people onboard
[ 2015.08.21 20:18:02 ] Lucas Raholan > just...gone
[ 2015.08.21 20:18:03 ] Ahman Nahrid > /emote emote heads out at a brisk pace
[ 2015.08.21 20:18:46 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote watches Ahman leave then his gaze returns to the candles "mmhmm"
[ 2015.08.21 20:20:18 ] Aria Jenneth > *casts about for something to set the skewers on, and settles for plates, which she lines with lettuce leaves before settling the skewers on them and whisking them out into the bar proper*
[ 2015.08.21 20:21:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs and takes a sit. For the first time she drinks.
[ 2015.08.21 20:21:28 ] Aria Jenneth > *she sets them down within easy reach of the gathered company, and checks to see whether the nibbles need refilling before scurrying back into the kitchen*
[ 2015.08.21 20:21:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote reaches over and takes a skewer, examining it. She nibbles.
[ 2015.08.21 20:22:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes, Luca,s there were no survivors right?"
[ 2015.08.21 20:22:37 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote also takes a skewer, sliding a piece off with his fingers and taking a bite
[ 2015.08.21 20:23:00 ] Lyn Farel > /emote takes a skewer and examines it curiously before nibbling.
[ 2015.08.21 20:23:10 ] Lyn Farel > /emote still has not touched to her drink.
[ 2015.08.21 20:24:48 ] Aria Jenneth > *the skewers are, of course, chicken or beef with variant teriyaki-like sauce. They're very much intended as mid-sized munchables to accompany drinks*
[ 2015.08.21 20:26:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "if anyone needs to take a short leave of absence. to go on a retreat or otherwise sort themselves, i certianly won't object"
[ 2015.08.21 20:27:14 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote nods
[ 2015.08.21 20:27:48 ] Aria Jenneth > *she reappears at the kitchen door with her drink, which she quietly sips*
[ 2015.08.21 20:29:48 ] Lyn Farel > /emote notices that everyone is drinking, and so decides to take a small sip of hers.
[ 2015.08.21 20:29:55 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote stands "If I may take your leave Diretorix, I feel I need to lie down, I seem to have run out of steam"
[ 2015.08.21 20:30:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "of course, please do. Remember, we can't know what God Wills. I think there was nothing any of us could have done different today"
[ 2015.08.21 20:32:12 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote nods solemly "thank you, May god be with you all"
[ 2015.08.21 20:32:26 ] Reinheart Novan > /emote shambles off to the sleeping quarters
[ 2015.08.21 20:33:06 ] Lyn Farel > /emote nods politely at Reinheart before he leaves.
[ 2015.08.21 20:34:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a sip of her drink. "What.. brings you to nahyeen Aria. Not that i am not always happy to see you?"
[ 2015.08.21 20:35:02 ] Aria Jenneth > *quietly* Only the ... obvious, Directrix.
[ 2015.08.21 20:35:27 ] Aria Jenneth > It ... seemed ... likely that some help would be ... helpful.
[ 2015.08.21 20:35:41 ] Aria Jenneth > ... in one area or another.
[ 2015.08.21 20:36:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "Thank you for your consideration"
[ 2015.08.21 20:37:41 ] Aria Jenneth > ... you're ... more than welcome. *she smiles a little sadly* You helped me in ... difficult times, so....
[ 2015.08.21 20:39:57 ] Aria Jenneth > ... it seemed like the very least I could do.
[ 2015.08.21 20:40:25 ] Lyn Farel > /emote blinks a bit, repeatedly.
[ 2015.08.21 20:40:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her drink. "The skewers were delicious. Are they Achuran style?"
[ 2015.08.21 20:41:17 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods* I think so. If ... I remember, they're a traditional drinker's snack.
[ 2015.08.21 20:41:49 ] Lyn Farel > /emote nods in agreement.
[ 2015.08.21 20:42:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her drink again, She's been drinking a little too quickly tonight. "Well they go well with this." She looks at the candles. "So are you still lighting candles Aria?"
[ 2015.08.21 20:42:41 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods*
[ 2015.08.21 20:43:06 ] Aria Jenneth > ... the ... meaning's ... maybe changed a little. But yeah.
[ 2015.08.21 20:43:44 ] Lyn Farel > /emote might start to look tipsy. "The meaning ... always uh... changes.. with candles."
[ 2015.08.21 20:44:24 ] Lyn Farel > /emote glances at her barely touched drink, and puts it slightly away.
[ 2015.08.21 20:44:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote finishs her drink. "Good night you two." I think I need to take a nap.
[ 2015.08.21 20:46:10 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *nods* My ... condolences, Directrix. Rest well.
[ 2015.08.21 20:47:01 ] Lyn Farel > /emote bows her head politely to Luna.
[ 2015.08.21 20:47:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote departs to the sleeping quarters, leaving an empty glass and a half-eaten plate.
[ 2015.08.21 20:47:46 ] Lyn Farel > "Those... appetizers are really nice... they make me even more eager to see those monasteries..."
[ 2015.08.21 20:48:36 ] Aria Jenneth > *faint smile* Usually monk food isn't ... actually very interesting. Though again, it ... depends on the sect.
[ 2015.08.21 20:49:18 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I think it'll be a little longer than I expected before I head for the monasteries, though, Lyn.
[ 2015.08.21 20:49:23 ] Lyn Farel > /emote shakes her head a bit, probably tipsy indeed. "Ah yes uh... sorry... I did mean... why did I confuse both ?"
[ 2015.08.21 20:50:07 ] Aria Jenneth > Well-- it's easy to assume that most people in a culture will eat the same sorts of things....
[ 2015.08.21 20:50:13 ] Lyn Farel > /emote doesn't look disappointed. "... I can wait... Capsuleers are all the time they want..."
[ 2015.08.21 20:50:17 ] Aria Jenneth > ... even if that's usually not true.
[ 2015.08.21 20:50:38 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *nods* I ... kind of want to be here, right now.
[ 2015.08.21 20:51:13 ] Lyn Farel > /emote looks a bit ashamed. "I... yes, it is not true... I... should not do that kind of mistakes..."
[ 2015.08.21 20:51:37 ] Aria Jenneth > ... it's a natural misunderstanding, though, I think.
[ 2015.08.21 20:52:21 ] Aria Jenneth > It's not like monks can't afford it; they ... tend to be very well respected people. We're ... even kind of a theocracy. Kind of.
[ 2015.08.21 20:52:51 ] Aria Jenneth > But ... savory food excites the senses. It's distracting. So a lot of sects discourage it.
[ 2015.08.21 20:54:55 ] Lyn Farel > /emote nods, recording the information as best as she can.
[ 2015.08.21 20:56:45 ] Lyn Farel > /emote yawns. "Oh... M-my apologies... I think it is the drink."
[ 2015.08.21 20:57:06 ] Aria Jenneth > It's ... okay, Lyn. It seems like everyone's ...
[ 2015.08.21 20:57:14 ] Aria Jenneth > ... really ... had a hard day.
[ 2015.08.21 20:57:33 ] Lyn Farel > /emote glances around. "I uh... not that much... I feel relieved..."
[ 2015.08.21 20:57:44 ] Lyn Farel > "But alcohol is problematic..."
[ 2015.08.21 20:58:07 ] Aria Jenneth > *lowering her voice* And that's something that would ... give you a hard day trying not to show.
[ 2015.08.21 20:58:38 ] Lyn Farel > /emote drops her shoulders. "Oh... probably... Yes."
[ 2015.08.21 20:59:03 ] Aria Jenneth > Best ... sleep, suuolo. I'll see about cleaning up.
[ 2015.08.21 20:59:20 ] Lyn Farel > "B-but..."
[ 2015.08.21 21:00:21 ] Aria Jenneth > Don't ... worry about me, suuolo. Out of everybody here, I can't ... claim to be having any kind of hard time. I'll see to it.
[ 2015.08.21 21:01:02 ] Lyn Farel > ...
[ 2015.08.21 21:01:12 ] Lyn Farel > /emote gives up. "A-alright..."
[ 2015.08.21 21:01:43 ] Aria Jenneth > *smiling gently* Sleep well.
[ 2015.08.21 21:02:05 ] Lyn Farel > /emote mutters. "We should really bring one of those gallente automatic triage dish washers here..."
[ 2015.08.21 21:02:48 ] Lyn Farel > /emote stands up, slightly wobbling, then hugs Aria. "Thank you uh... for coming visiting us."
[ 2015.08.21 21:03:32 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *returns the hug gently* It's really good to see you all.
[ 2015.08.21 21:03:42 ] Aria Jenneth > I'll ... try not to wait for something so sad, next time.
[ 2015.08.21 21:03:51 ] Aria Jenneth > Or ... you know. Awkward.
[ 2015.08.21 21:05:05 ] Lyn Farel > /emote nods. "... Rigth."
[ 2015.08.21 21:05:27 ] Aria Jenneth > Be well, suuolo.
[ 2015.08.21 21:05:55 ] Lyn Farel > "You too Suuolo.."
[ 2015.08.21 21:06:08 ] Lyn Farel > /emote slightly bows and takes her leave.
[ 2015.08.21 21:08:43 ] Aria Jenneth > *bows in return, and watches her friend depart before setting about cleaning up after the mutual consolation party*

**private call afterwards from Valerie Valate***

[ 2015.08.21 20:48:30 ] Valerie Valate > Good evening.
[ 2015.08.21 20:48:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's hair is still damp as if freshly showered.  She is wearing simple linen dress.  Her face is both pale and pink.  She says in a peckish tone "I was told you wanted to speak to me today of all days?"
[ 2015.08.21 20:49:58 ] Valerie Valate > Well, I had wanted to speak to you for a while. Since Nicoletta Mithra told me that it was you that I had to talk to.
[ 2015.08.21 20:50:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > About what? She is our diplomat. It's her job to talk to people like you.
[ 2015.08.21 20:51:21 ] Valerie Valate > I have recently completed a work, an archaeological work, on the history of the Takmahl Empire.
[ 2015.08.21 20:51:37 ] Valerie Valate > a subject which Reinheart Novan had also been investigating.
[ 2015.08.21 20:51:53 ] Valerie Valate > I wished to send him a copy of my work.
[ 2015.08.21 20:52:09 ] Valerie Valate > But I wanted to make sure, with Nicoletta, that it would be alright to do so.
[ 2015.08.21 20:52:27 ] Valerie Valate > Because of our, religious differences.
[ 2015.08.21 20:52:46 ] Valerie Valate > And she told me that you were the boss now, and I should talk to you.
[ 2015.08.21 20:53:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote say sharply "Take it up with Ms. Mithra.  She can report to me if there is anything worthwhile to report and if there is anything i need to act on"
[ 2015.08.21 20:53:37 ] Valerie Valate > I See.\

**END CALL**

**2nd Private Call afterwards, from Nicoletta**
---------------------------------------------------------------

[ 2015.08.21 20:55:06 ] Nicoletta Mithra > God Bless.
[ 2015.08.21 20:56:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is seated on a bench by her vanity. She is now in her shift. Her hair is damp from being freshly showered.
[ 2015.08.21 20:56:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is pale, but pink from some recent drinks.
[ 2015.08.21 20:56:49 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Ms. Valate wants to share some of her research of the Takhmal with Reinheart Novan. She's blurting this out publicly. It's not for me to decide if she may do so.
[ 2015.08.21 20:57:12 ] Nicoletta Mithra > I advised her to bring this up to you in private, though she's rather indiscreet.
[ 2015.08.21 20:57:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh, that business. We discussed that last year and you decided it was worth him participating discreetly."
[ 2015.08.21 20:57:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am not inclined to change your position on that"
[ 2015.08.21 20:57:37 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Yes, but she makes that rather hard.
[ 2015.08.21 20:58:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I think at this time I - we- have more pressing concerns than a sani sabik wench. Do you have any thoughts?"
[ 2015.08.21 20:59:42 ] Nicoletta Mithra > "I don't think that we do. Not at all. Because there is nothing we can actually do about it. That's also, apparently, why you had some drinks, because you realize, deep down, that you or we, for the matter, can't do anything.
[ 2015.08.21 20:59:59 ] Nicoletta Mithra > But feeling the pressure to do something, taking a drink was what happened.
[ 2015.08.21 21:00:30 ] Nicoletta Mithra > We're bound to wait what happens next at the moment. Until then, we really should pull ourselves together and do our jobs.
[ 2015.08.21 21:00:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly "I needed to sleep."
[ 2015.08.21 21:01:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I think they all needed to decompress.. and sleep"
[ 2015.08.21 21:01:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "We'll be back on our feet tomorrow I am sure"
[ 2015.08.21 21:02:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs unhappily.
[ 2015.08.21 21:02:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Shaddam Daphiti our newest member tells me that to grow we need to suffer. Well if that's true, we'll be redwoods tomorrow"
[ 2015.08.21 21:04:06 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote perks an eyebrow. "Suffering is not for growth: it's for culling the tree where it's growth is malformed."
[ 2015.08.21 21:05:30 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Anyhow, I need sleep. Godspeed Lunarisse.
[ 2015.08.21 21:06:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You too Nicoletta"
[ 2015.08.21 21:06:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'll talk to that woman."
[ 2015.08.21 21:07:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Tomorrow..
[ 2015.08.21 21:07:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote flickers out
[ 2015.08.21 21:09:40 ] Nicoletta Mithra > I already wrote her.
[ 2015.08.21 21:09:43 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Ah...

---------------------------------------------------------------
Channel Name: Gottin's Lamp - Bar
---------------------------------------------------------------
Location: SFRIM Offices. Bar. Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons Factory
Setting: 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. 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. One shelf labeled "Lord Anderson's" has three bottles of brandy from Gallente space, along with other liquors. Another shelf labeled "Lord Tash-Murkon" has a secure black metal container with a biometric lock with a Sapidum Distillery Emblem - 'Sapidum 255' from a Khanid small batch distillery on Oris. Lunarisse's shelf has spiced wine and other vintages from around New Eden, with a few religious texts leaning against the bottles. New to her collection is one tall, elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Cream Liqueur, one tall elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Chocolate Liqueur, one stout, wide bottle with amarrian scroll work of Chocolate sauce with added black tea all wrapped in a secure richly coloured, dark wood box.There are a few other shelves that hold overflow for now, waiting for new corp members to claim them.

[ 2015.08.26 03:23:39 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote enters following a rather embarassed initiate. She's wearing her daring seagreen dress from the party.
[ 2015.08.26 03:25:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters. She is not dressed "up" at all. "Hi Jennifer, sorry we didn't have a chance to talk more at the party"
[ 2015.08.26 03:26:18 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote smiles and waves the notion away. "You were being the hostess. I know how seriously you take your job."
[ 2015.08.26 03:27:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I think it went well all things considered. I wasn't sure my heart would be into it.. but yes, I had a job" she smiles bleakly "can I get you a drink?"
[ 2015.08.26 03:28:09 ] Jennifer Starfall > I'll get it, suuolo.
[ 2015.08.26 03:28:27 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote stands up and walks behind the bar.
[ 2015.08.26 03:28:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at the bar "Sure." She takes a seat.
[ 2015.08.26 03:29:34 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote starts to read to Luna's shelf and hesitates a moment. She then continues and takes Luna's box off the shelf.
[ 2015.08.26 03:30:13 ] Jennifer Starfall > How are you doing?
[ 2015.08.26 03:30:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The last few days have been hell. Honestly, not good."
[ 2015.08.26 03:32:45 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote says with a simplicty belying its profundity, "You loved her." She takes the bottles out of their case.
[ 2015.08.26 03:33:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes. I still remember being planetside during the Elder invasion. My squad was on duty, we all were. And we all thought we were going to die. But then she was there, and everything was ok. It looked like a bright star in the sky from where we were
[ 2015.08.26 03:36:46 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote picks up a bottle, tracing the Sarumite lines with finger. "When you were a Paladin."
[ 2015.08.26 03:38:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "Yes"
[ 2015.08.26 03:38:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And then I followed her into space..."
[ 2015.08.26 03:39:19 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote nods and takes two glasses down and sets them on the bartop.
[ 2015.08.26 03:39:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the glasses
[ 2015.08.26 03:40:58 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote pours cream liqueor into the glasses.
[ 2015.08.26 03:41:29 ] Jennifer Starfall > I'm sorry if I embarassed you yesterday. I... couldn't not do it.
[ 2015.08.26 03:46:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "It is alright. But even on days such as that... public displays of excessive motion.." She pauses "Well i needed it anyway, thank you."
[ 2015.08.26 03:47:56 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote nods as she pours the chocolate liquor into the glasses.
[ 2015.08.26 03:49:09 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote says a little too lightly, "What would they expect from a guri?"
[ 2015.08.26 03:49:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shakes her head slghtly "Silly, you aren't Guri." She watches the slow process of making the drink as it proceeds.
[ 2015.08.26 03:51:54 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote uncaps the chocolate syrup bottle and the armomatics of the infused Caldari tea permeates the air. The bottle shakes in Jenn's hand.
[ 2015.08.26 03:54:18 ] Jennifer Starfall > I... I... am, Luna.
[ 2015.08.26 03:54:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns slightly, she blinks. "Aren't they gangsters?"
[ 2015.08.26 03:56:53 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote shakes her head "Those are Guristas, and yes, I've been one of those, too."
[ 2015.08.26 03:57:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "What do you mean by Guri?"
[ 2015.08.26 03:58:20 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote pours the last bottle, her hands shaking. "Foreigner... outsider."
[ 2015.08.26 04:01:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh." She frowns ."Well you are my friend. You can't be expected to know everything it takes a lifetime to learn"
[ 2015.08.26 04:05:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says gently "Shall we drink?"
[ 2015.08.26 04:05:54 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote picks up the glasses, both shaking in her hands. She walks over to Luna and holds out the trembling glass. "And if your God is not my God?"
[ 2015.08.26 04:07:34 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote looks at Luna with a mixture of emotions: fear, sorrow, regret.
[ 2015.08.26 04:09:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "There is only one God." She says calmly "But he manifests himself in many ways, even if incompletely. Not being of the Empire, i don't expect you to be a believer." She leaves unsaid a mental 'yet'.
[ 2015.08.26 04:09:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She takes the glass. "I am happy to share drinks with you."
[ 2015.08.26 04:10:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Friends don't need to agree on everything"
[ 2015.08.26 04:10:46 ] Jennifer Starfall > Are you... disappointed in me?
[ 2015.08.26 04:12:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Jennifer "of course I wish it was otherwise, given what I believe."
[ 2015.08.26 04:13:19 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote nods wiping at her eyes with her free hands.
[ 2015.08.26 04:14:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote raises the glass "A toast is customary i think?" She pauses "May you live as long as you want to, may you want to as long as you live"
[ 2015.08.26 04:15:05 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote raises her glass "Until the stars burn cold."
[ 2015.08.26 04:16:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her glass, savoring the taste, then sips some more with a rather long drink.
[ 2015.08.26 04:17:54 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote takes a long drink.
[ 2015.08.26 04:18:12 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote says quietly, "You're the first I've told.... other than Tee."
[ 2015.08.26 04:22:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods quietly "I'd just, by yourself and not make a big deal out of telling people in the Empire. Just be yourself" she adds again.
[ 2015.08.26 04:23:57 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote nods. "I owe it to you, suuolo. You've done so much for me."
[ 2015.08.26 04:25:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "No thanks are needed." She pauses "I appreciate what you've done for me too"
[ 2015.08.26 04:29:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her drink, content to enjoy Jennife'rs company.
[ 2015.08.26 04:29:47 ] Jennifer Starfall > When I look at you, suuolo, do you know what I see?
[ 2015.08.26 04:31:00 ] Jennifer Starfall > I see the Paladin you were. That you still are.
[ 2015.08.26 04:31:51 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote stands up. "Be that Paladin, Lunarisse Aspenstar-Daphiti."
[ 2015.08.26 04:32:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks up at Jennifer, her face intent.
[ 2015.08.26 04:32:30 ] Jennifer Starfall > For you. For your Empress.
[ 2015.08.26 04:33:10 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote sets down the glass and gently kisses Lunarisse on the head before turning and exiting the Lamp.
[ 2015.08.26 04:34:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote watches Jennifer leave. She turns and looks at herself in the mirror and runs her hand along her face, looking for a good long while.
