[19:55] <KamenWriter> Cait, Day 7, Pre-morning
[19:55] <Aeros> i still need to roll for yesterday's aqua :B
[19:55] <KamenWriter> Oh, true.
[19:55] <KamenWriter> Roll it
[19:56] * Morty is now known as Kain
[19:56] <Aeros> 2d6+1
[19:56] <RichterBelmont> Aeros, 2d6+1: 9 [2d6=5,3]
[19:57] <KamenWriter> Charm I assume
[19:57] <Aeros> yes
[19:57] <KamenWriter> You don't make TOO much headway with Aqua today, but she's getting more and more comfortable with you.
[19:58] <Aeros> he*
[19:58] <KamenWriter> It's not my fault he's pink
[19:58] <Aeros> its your fault he's a he though
[19:58] * Aeros is now known as Cait
[19:58] <KamenWriter> I'm having so much trouble with genders this game :(
[19:59] <KamenWriter> Anyhow
[19:59] <KamenWriter> Cait: You're preparing for your day. You have all noticed that Rudiger did not come back last night.
[19:59] * Cait didn't even realize he was gone until now.
[19:59] <KamenWriter> However, the nightly attack occured before you could do anything about it.
[20:00] <KamenWriter> Ivan seems not to care much
[20:01] <KamenWriter> As you're preparing for your day, however, Charlie approaches.
[20:01] <KamenWriter> "What ho there!" :D
[20:01] <KamenWriter> "How are you this fine morning. I'm feeling much better now. Thank you for indulging in my little tiff last night."
[20:02] * Cait is stretching; Sky is next to her mimicing her movements; Snow does a little bit of it to the other side of her.
[20:02] <Cait> "Sure."
[20:03] <KamenWriter> "It was quite beastly of me to have said those things, I realize."
[20:03] <KamenWriter> "I must admit, I'm not sure what to make of all this balderdash." :(
[20:05] <Cait> "What you see and feel are real; the small attack last night was just testing our repaired barricade."
[20:06] <Cait> "At least, that's my guess."
[20:06] <KamenWriter> He shivers slightly, "I've never seen pokemon do that before. It must be true, isn't it?"
[20:06] <Cait> "I wouldn't lie to you."
[20:08] <KamenWriter> "Lie? No, no no, of course not."
[20:09] <KamenWriter> "Being two sandwiches short of a tea party is another matter entirely."
[20:09] <KamenWriter> "But it's true now, so I might as well deal with it as best I can."
[20:10] <KamenWriter> "Which means that since I'm going to be around for a while, perhaps I should make conversation. Get to know my fellow allies."
[20:10] <Cait> "Not sure what you'd want me to say; I'm just a gal from the good ol U S of A."
[20:11] <KamenWriter> "Well, how about back home? Who are you when you're not wearing pants?"
[20:11] <KamenWriter> He looks innocent, as if he didn't say something extremely slanted :3
[20:12] <Cait> Cait's face hardens, "I'm still me when i'm wearing pants or not. Pants are easier to do rough and tumble things in." She suddenly kicks up, near vertical; Sky easily follows suit, but Snow falls down on her butt.
[20:12] <KamenWriter> "O-oh... I see, I mean, well... you see, oh balderdash..."
[20:12] * Cait brings her leg around in a clockwise motion back to the ground, "I cant do that in a skirt."
[20:13] <Cait> "My father taught me to fight, while my mother decided what I would learn from school."
[20:13] <KamenWriter> "Well, I meant family, friends. Things like that."
[20:13] <Cait> "PLenty of family, plenty of friends." Is all she says, looking at him.
[20:14] <KamenWriter> "Oh! That's wonderful." :D "Isn't family wonderful? I've got Mother back home. She says she's going to set me up with a girl once I get home."
[20:14] <Cait> "Quite a few of the other nurses i've met up with in france are fun to chat with and talk about boys with."
[20:14] <Cait> She rolls her eyes, "Have you even met the girl?"
[20:15] * Ivan (Domo@sux-B9D9571C.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #OverthereMinis
[20:15] <KamenWriter> "Well, no, but still I hear from mother she's a looker."
[20:15] <Cait> "Meet the girl, get to know her."
[20:15] <KamenWriter> "Er..."
[20:15] <KamenWriter> "Anyway, how about your family?"
[20:16] <KamenWriter> "I like to hear about these things. Calms me down, what."
[20:18] * Cait continues with his situation, "If the girl is too your liking, that's great, but trust me, if she doesn't like you, even if you are the man of the house? She'll be able to make your life a living hell."
[20:18] <KamenWriter> :I "You are opinionated, aren't you?"
[20:19] <Cait> "No more than any other woman, I just have the courage to say it alloud."
[20:19] <KamenWriter> He laughs lightly, "Well, I'm tempted to have a talk with Mother after all of this, I suppose."
[20:19] * Ivan (Domo@sux-B9D9571C.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit ( Quit: Leaving )
[20:19] <KamenWriter> "Perhaps you're right."
[20:19] <Cait> "Not with your mother, with the girl."
[20:20] <KamenWriter> "I don't even know the girl. Mother has to introduce us first." :<
[20:20] <Cait> "Then let her do that, but let me tell you some advice; talk TO her."
[20:21] <Cait> "Get to know her, if you and her hit it off, that's great. If she shows know interest, find out why."
[20:21] <Cait> no*
[20:21] <KamenWriter> He seems to pause after this, and then chuckles lightly, smiling serenely, "Well, I'm glad I talked to you, Bonny Kate."
[20:22] <Cait> "Cait. I don't know if you can hear the difference, but my name is Cait, not Kate."
[20:22] <KamenWriter> He ignores this, "I'll begin composing a letter home right away! Before Mother can set the date for the marriage."
[20:22] <KamenWriter> "I'll drop it at the first post box I see!"
[20:22] <Cait> "Remember to do it after we get out of this mess."
[20:23] <KamenWriter> "o-oh. Yes."
[20:23] <Cait> "I'm writing letters, but I know I have nowhere to send them to."
[20:23] <KamenWriter> "I nearly forgot." :(
[20:23] <Cait> "So I'll send them as a batch back to mother and father."
[20:23] <Cait> "Let them know the crazy that happened here."
[20:24] <KamenWriter> "If your family is even half as spirited as you are, I'm sure they must be simply lovely people." :D
[20:26] <Cait> "Da' taught me to fight, like I said." She smiles when talking about her mother and father, "Mother taught me when I was young, but hired teachers later on. She still kept trying to drill specifics into my head."
[20:26] <KamenWriter> He nods, listening.
[20:27] <Cait> "Father was pretty much always around, if he wasn't with HIS father...but anything more specific than that, I'm afraid, is personal."
[20:27] <Cait> "As for you...why...why Rocks?"
[20:28] <Cait> "That's still bothering me. just, bags of rocks. did you really need to drag them from the cave?"
[20:28] <KamenWriter> "Rocks are QUITE facinating!"
[20:28] <KamenWriter> "Especially in this area. There are many veins of interesting stone running through the mountains."
[20:29] <Cait> "ARE you a miner? you certainly aren't built like one, nor do you have the demeanor of one."
[20:29] <KamenWriter> "Oh no, not a miner, just a hobbyist."
[20:29] <KamenWriter> "I'm more interested in the science of it all."
[20:29] <Cait> "Science of rocks." She says flatly. she's stopped stretching and sky and snow go take a break.
[20:30] <Cait> "There is science of electricity, and science of engineering even, but rocks?"
[20:30] <KamenWriter> "Oh yes. when you know how old a rock is, you can tell a lot about what the area was like years ago."
[20:31] * Cait makes a face, she is either unimpressed or she doesn't believe it. its hard to tell which.
[20:31] <KamenWriter> "Not to mention the flasher things."
[20:31] <KamenWriter> "Evolution due to stone radiation."
[20:31] <KamenWriter> "Thinks like that."
[20:31] <KamenWriter> *things
[20:31] <KamenWriter> "But those are the pedestrian things. Everyone knows about those. There are many things rocks can teach us about the world."
[20:32] <Cait> "Oh! evolution stones. that's different."
[20:32] * Cait ignores that last part, "so there is a vein of evolution stones in that cave?"
[20:33] <KamenWriter> :I "Well, no pure veins."
[20:33] <KamenWriter> "But trace elements can perhaps be combined into a sample with enough potency to do the trick."
[20:34] <Cait> "And you're able to put that all together?"
[20:35] <KamenWriter> "Well, yes."
[20:36] <Cait> "That's...actually fairly useful. I was wondering for a bit what you could possibly do if you can't fight."
[20:37] <KamenWriter> :I "B-but... the secrets of the universe!"
[20:37] <KamenWriter> "You aren't interested in hearing about stratification and cleavage?"
[20:38] * Cait waves that off, "Right now we're in a war, if the philosophy and science doesn't relate to helping the effort it can go on the backburner of the stove."
[20:38] <KamenWriter> "Okay."
[20:38] <Cait> "I know plenty about cleavage good sir." she humphs.
[20:38] <KamenWriter> He sounds somewhat dejected.
[20:39] <Cait> "I've seen girls in paris, they show it all the time; wouldn't be able to get away with that in the states."
[20:39] <KamenWriter> Also his british ears don't register what Cait is talking about.
[20:40] <Cait> "I could probably pull off a look like that...but ma' would kill me." She is mostly talking to herself now.
[20:40] <KamenWriter> "Err..."
[20:40] <Cait> "Anyway, secrets of the universe can wait."
[20:41] <KamenWriter> He nods.
[20:41] <Cait> "Dont' get me wrong, If you can do it on the wayside while helping us out, that's great."
[20:41] <KamenWriter> "That's fine. You're absolutely right."
[20:41] <Cait> "Just remember what the point of all this is."
[20:41] <KamenWriter> "Thank you for the talk, Bonny Kate. I'll go work on my rock collection. Perhaps I picked up some useful samples."
[20:41] <KamenWriter> "Although I would hate to part with some of them." ;_;
[20:42] <KamenWriter> "Farewell!"
[20:42] <KamenWriter> He begins to hurry off
[20:42] <Cait> "Sure. and its Cait."
[20:43] <KamenWriter> "Fareweeelll!"
[20:43] <KamenWriter> You aren't sure if he got that
[20:43] <KamenWriter> He probably didn't
[20:44] * Cait will just keep correcting him until it gets through his skull.
[20:45] <KamenWriter> And unless you want to go on, that's all I wanted to do for now
[20:45] <KamenWriter> You could do your morning slot, but Elsa wants to confer with everyone before the afternoon slot.
[20:45] <Cait> did i find any shallower or slower running parts of the river up to the north of the broken fishing cabin?
[20:46] <KamenWriter> Not really. It's all pretty deep and wild.
[20:46] <KamenWriter> I think Ivan is going to explore that further for his first slot on day 7
[20:46] <Cait> can i spend the morning that bridge some more? she's making it on dry land so it doesn't wash away.
[20:47] <Cait> on that*
[20:47] <KamenWriter> Sure.
[20:47] <Cait> She'll just shove it in or something because that's how bridges work right.
[20:47] <KamenWriter> Right exactly
[20:47] <KamenWriter> Elsa can figure out that part later, right
[20:48] <Cait> or you know, pulleys and winches
[20:48] <KamenWriter> So, you spend the morning working on the bridge. You gain an extra 1 trainer exp and 10 exp for each pokemon that participates.
[20:49] <KamenWriter> And you get the distinct feeling that if you hadn't take out Terrakion and Virizion, this would have been MUCH more difficult.
[20:49] * Cait is still wary of any water pokemon around.
[20:50] * Cait is also trying to use as few trees as possible, since you know, they're trying to prove a point and stuff. she'll even take planks from the fishing shack if she needs to.
[20:50] <KamenWriter> Cool
[20:51] <KamenWriter> You spend your time as wisely as you can. You aren't sure if it will actually hold up to scrutiny once it's in the river
[20:53] * Cait goes back to the town for lunch, she's worked up an appetite.
[20:54] <KamenWriter> And soon enough, you head back to town. It seems Elsa has something to say. Which we can deal with later when more people are here.
[20:54] <KamenWriter> Or you can talk now :B
[20:54] <KamenWriter> And just assume that Karsten and Ivan get this information later
