Channel Name: 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.A dinner menu is available. Besides, an elegant dinner, an array of standard bar foods from throughout the Empire are available at other times (but no fried critters).
A small sign on the bar says "Proudly serving Lodovica's Vitae."
A model of a Silver Magnate hands on the wall along with a sign with a quote from the Tourney.A small sign mentions "For Desserts, Consider Bel's Splendid Ice Cream "
[ 2016.07.05 03:09:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters. She takes a seat in a corner table where she can watch the door. She asks for a carafe of wine and some bread, cheese and fruit.
[ 2016.07.05 03:11:53 ] Catherine Green > /emote steps into the Grape. She wears a simple white blouse, tan slacks, and simple brown flats on her feet. She stops, and looks around the room. She spots Luna, walks over, and seats herself at the same table.
[ 2016.07.05 03:12:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks up "Hello Templar Lieutenant Green"
[ 2016.07.05 03:12:42 ] Catherine Green > Hello, Ms Aspenstar. It's good to finally meet you in person.
[ 2016.07.05 03:13:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles warmly "Likewise." She indicates to the glases and the food "Help yourself and let's talk."
[ 2016.07.05 03:13:50 ] Catherine Green > /emote returns the smile, bows her head slightly, and takes some bread and some cheese.
[ 2016.07.05 03:14:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "So what brings you to inquire about joining the Society and leaving the Crusade?"
[ 2016.07.05 03:16:55 ] Catherine Green > /emote starts placing the slices of cheese onto her bread, and speaks without looking up from this. "I've heard nothing but good things about the Society, and although the 24th has been good to me I feel that I'd be better off with a bit more.... hrm."
[ 2016.07.05 03:17:01 ] Catherine Green > Autonomy?
[ 2016.07.05 03:17:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "That we can offer. Although we are not.. strictly speaking.. a capsuleer combat oriented corporation.. although at times conflict finds us."
[ 2016.07.05 03:18:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But no.. i do not impose mandatory ops, although I do.. reserve the right to make suggestions, even firm ones." she adds lightly.
[ 2016.07.05 03:19:20 ] Catherine Green > /emote smirks and nods. "I'd be worried if you didn't."
[ 2016.07.05 03:19:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > We..do strive to be.. more visibly and clearly loyal and faithful than perhaps many of the capsuleers in the Crusade.
[ 2016.07.05 03:20:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Catherine "Tell me.. what does the Faith mean to you? What is its essence?"
[ 2016.07.05 03:21:04 ] Catherine Green > /emote slowly tilts her head side to side in thought, while looking around the room.
[ 2016.07.05 03:21:23 ] Catherine Green > It's morality. An-...
[ 2016.07.05 03:21:34 ] Catherine Green > Excuse me a moment.
[ 2016.07.05 03:21:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her wine. She nods, totally relaxed and not in a hurry.
[ 2016.07.05 03:22:06 ] Catherine Green > /emote furrows her brow and glares at her bread for a second.
[ 2016.07.05 03:22:37 ] Catherine Green > /emote looks up and smiles warmly. "I apologise. I just received an unwelcome invitation that I had to decline.
[ 2016.07.05 03:22:51 ] Catherine Green > Where was I? Oh right. Morality.
[ 2016.07.05 03:23:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a small frown. But nods.
[ 2016.07.05 03:23:40 ] Catherine Green > It's morality. But more than that, it's not just knowing what's right. It's living it. Taking into yourself and being it.
[ 2016.07.05 03:23:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2016.07.05 03:23:52 ] Catherine Green > Living each day as the best person you can be.
[ 2016.07.05 03:24:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles warmly. "I understand where you are coming from on this."
[ 2016.07.05 03:24:48 ] Catherine Green > I feel I might have been a bit broad there, but that's the gist of it. According to what my mother says, anyway.
[ 2016.07.05 03:24:58 ] Catherine Green > /emote smirks again.
[ 2016.07.05 03:25:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You mother was a wise woman."
[ 2016.07.05 03:25:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Do you believe it?"
[ 2016.07.05 03:26:08 ] Catherine Green > Absolutely.
[ 2016.07.05 03:26:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods then continues "We.. are a diverse corporation of the Faithful and.. allies. tell me. Do you think it is more important to simply be True Amarr or to live a rightoues life in accord with God's laws and scripture"
[ 2016.07.05 03:27:00 ] Catherine Green > I feel that race and background has no bearing on righteousness.
[ 2016.07.05 03:27:41 ] Catherine Green > A penniless person of mixed race can be a better person than a rich one of True Amarr breeding.
[ 2016.07.05 03:27:54 ] Catherine Green > It's what's inside that makes the man.
[ 2016.07.05 03:28:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Now we support reclaimation in all respects, but focus on the peaceable spread of the word of God. Winning hearts and minds if you will. that being said.."
[ 2016.07.05 03:29:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Slavery still has a role in today's Empire. What role do you think Slavery has today?"
[ 2016.07.05 03:30:55 ] Catherine Green > /emote gives a bouncing nod. "I think that slavery can work if there are lessons taught. If it's used simply for cheap labour, or for the sake of some strange enjoyment, it's meaningless."
[ 2016.07.05 03:31:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2016.07.05 03:31:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It needs to be tied to its purpose. And that is?"
[ 2016.07.05 03:31:58 ] Catherine Green > To uplift those not enlightened.
[ 2016.07.05 03:32:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2016.07.05 03:32:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Last question, I guess and I .. apoligize for being somewhat... dry but its been a tiring week"
[ 2016.07.05 03:32:40 ] Catherine Green > /emote smiles warmly. "I understand that all too well."
[ 2016.07.05 03:32:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "How do you hope to contribute to the Society? What talents do you bring?"
[ 2016.07.05 03:33:34 ] Catherine Green > /emote gestures with a piece of bread in hand. "I'm on a rather strict training course for command ships. The Damnation class, in particular."
[ 2016.07.05 03:33:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks thoughtful. she nods.
[ 2016.07.05 03:34:11 ] Catherine Green > And not just the piloting, but actually commanding fleets as well.
[ 2016.07.05 03:34:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2016.07.05 03:34:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Alright that could be useful."
[ 2016.07.05 03:34:55 ] Catherine Green > I also carry knowledge of tactics and ship outfitting.
[ 2016.07.05 03:35:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2016.07.05 03:35:18 ] Catherine Green > The Academy was very thorough.
[ 2016.07.05 03:35:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "good." She pauses I'd like to invite you to the Society. Do you have any questions? And do you wish to wait until the wars are over?"
[ 2016.07.05 03:36:06 ] Catherine Green > My only question is this. May I open a shop near one of the offices?
[ 2016.07.05 03:36:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "What sort of shop?"
[ 2016.07.05 03:36:33 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote steps into the Grape, and notices Luna mid interview, the merc decides to take a seat at the bar and order a small meal. Steamed Veggies on a bed of spiced jasmine rice, and a pot of green tea.
[ 2016.07.05 03:36:50 ] Catherine Green > Books and tomes!
[ 2016.07.05 03:37:06 ] Catherine Green > Real ones, not holos.
[ 2016.07.05 03:37:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh. That.. would be wonderful actually." She smiles warmly "I'd encourage one near the Lamp." She glances at Catherine and adds by explanation "That's what we call our main office, Gottin's Lamp"
[ 2016.07.05 03:38:01 ] Catherine Green > Good name.
[ 2016.07.05 03:38:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'll explain more when I give you a tour,.. but for now.."
[ 2016.07.05 03:38:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Invitation Sent"
[ 2016.07.05 03:39:00 ] Catherine Green > /emote smiles softly and nods respectfully. "Thank you."
[ 2016.07.05 03:40:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles "welcome to the Society."
[ 2016.07.05 03:41:17 ] Catherine Green > I'll serve as best I know how.
[ 2016.07.05 03:42:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "My pardon, I do need to retire. It's been a long week even.. I.. am doing patrols."
[ 2016.07.05 03:42:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote flashes a smile at Roland as she says that.
[ 2016.07.05 03:43:23 ] Catherine Green > /emote nods again. "Of course. Rest well, Ms Aspenstar."
[ 2016.07.05 03:44:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rises. She departs.
[ 2016.07.05 03:46:41 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote waves to Luna as she departs, and leans back in his chair as he awaits his food.
[ 2016.07.05 03:49:16 ] Catherine Green > /emote scoops up a couple more pieces of bread with cheese, then walks over to the bar. She seats herself next to Roland. She takes a bite of the bread. "Wutcha got there?"
