[6:21] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "It was the Lady of Honour's request, my dear Xylvarenn."

[6:21] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "If you are zat uncomfortable wiz it, I could allow a change."

[6:51] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David applauds as he finishes his cake.*

[6:52] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Feel free to sit down and join us once you feel like it, you are guests as much as musicians, oui?"

[6:53] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "We've only played two songs, Chalons, you want us to stop already?"  *She smirked.*

[6:53] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Are we that terrible?" *smiles lightly.*

[6:54] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Non, I am razher enjoying it... I just do not want it said I am a bad 'ost, non?" *Smirks* "Especially since three of you seem to be well-versed in 'osts."

[6:54] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "Anyway, let's pick this up a bit... I hope you'll forgive Eirene helping us out with this next one, it requires more instruments than we've brought."  *She winked and sent the file to the...

[6:55] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Taptapped her PADD and made a few quick adjustments.*

[6:55] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Looks at hte notes and sets the upepr keybord to one setting and the lower keybord to another one to prepare for the song.*

[6:59] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *Somehow manages to nail it by singing it in a coloratura soprano*

[7:00] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  *She kept up with the rapid pace of the song for the most part, missing only one or two notes here or there as she provided adequate backing vocals to the chorus.*

[7:00] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Seemed to have zero issues with the pace or melody, the violin coming alive in her hands, keeping up with ease.*

[7:01] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Realizes she has to abandon to upper keyboard to Eirienes compliments as she needs both hands on the lower one far to often to pull it off gracefully. Upon surrendering the darker music >

[7:07] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Val smiles, giving Lynn a little wave.*

[7:10] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Looks to the others as if asking if they're ready.*

[7:10] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Nods, setting up her keybords for various ranges again.*

[7:11] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  *She nodded again.*

[7:11] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Hits the button to start the wind instruments from Eirene, starting off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwES9M0isVM*

[7:11] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az drank her wine happily, nuzzling David's shoulder.*

[7:13] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Seemed to have a bit more issues with her violin part here, though still performing quite admirably, even if not at the mastery she managed to hit the previous song at.*

[7:13] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David smiles down at her.*

[7:15] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *Sings Trill lyrics to the song, missing some words or the wrong words entierly, making it stand out quite some to a Trill speaker... and jsut sounding Trill to anyone else.*

[7:16] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Turns away from the mic for a quick, non-malicious giggle, then turned to support with her own backup vocals.*

[7:17] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Plays quite well indeed across the two keyboards ahead of her, setting the keybord solo nearly perfectly with one misstimed chord.*

[7:17] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Valerie cheers for Zee's wonderful solo.*

[7:18] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  *She more or less let herself fade into the background as she fumbled a few notes.*

[7:19] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *Falls silent as the outro starts and just moves clsoer to Eren to sway sensually in palce as the song ends.*

[7:20] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  *She gently hip bumped Xyl, offering a playful grin.*

[7:20] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *shyly smiles back to Eren.*

[7:20] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Strums away at the last few chords she had and let the violin rest for a moment as the song ended, taking a small breather with a happy smile... bumping Xylv back as Eren bumps her, as a >

[7:20] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Xylv-pendulum of sorts.*

[7:21] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *Blushes faintly as she is used as a xylvpendulum.*

[7:21] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az giggled and clapped, her wineglass magically empty again.*

[7:21] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Looks to David as if to ask if she should pour the zoid more, smiling and clapping for the trills.*

[7:22] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Giggles at Xylv's reactions.*

[7:22] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: *Eyes the Trills behaviour wiht his grumpy expression.*

[7:22] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  *She blew Yeran a kiss.*

[7:23] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David nods, applauding vigoriously.*

[7:23] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Whispers* "Why is he so grumpy? He looks kinda like Varel."

[7:23] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]:*Does not look ammused at Erens atempts of flirting. Crossing his arms infront of himself as she gives Eren an arrogant look.*

[7:24] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  *She chuckled.*  "Well, that's four.  Cake and wine time?"

[7:24] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Sounds lovely!"

[7:25] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Yes!" *She smiled and nodded, lettign the violin down on a stand.*

[7:25] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  *She hit a button, a playlist of generic holiday songs beginning as she set the keytar down and stepped off the stage.*

[7:25] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *Returns the microphone to the stand.*

[7:25] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Val claps for them again.* "Lovely."

[7:25] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: **The lougne fills with applaudes for the hot spot.**

[7:26] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: *turns off the keybords and leaves the stage with a bow.*

[7:27] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: *Walks over to Zee as she holds down from the stage and sternly whispers something.*

[7:27] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Nods once.*

[7:27] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Heads to give Val a hug, and after getting it returned with a head pat, then goes to sit.*

[7:27] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *Daid stands and applauds.*

[7:27] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Looks to Zee.* "Is... everything okey?"

[7:27] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David

[7:28] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  *She winked slyly at David as she went to get her treats.*

[7:28] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Quite so." *She moves over to get some cake, eyeing the cake with aristocratic suspicion for a few seconds.*

[7:28] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David chuckles, sitting back down with Azacri.*

[7:29] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Enjoy ze cake... Azacri put in some quite lovely orders."

[7:30] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Az cuddled up to David, closing her eyes as she rested her cheek on his arm.*

[7:30] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Aww."

[7:31] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: *takes a seat with some wine and cake and carefully eats little bites.*

[7:31] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David wraps an arm around her waist.* Well Commander, how was that?

[7:31] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *Takes her seat with soem cake and wine and enjoys the treat.*

[7:31] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, I 'ave absolutely no complaints or critiques, it was wonderful."

[7:32] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David nods, kissing the top of Azacri's head.* I enjoyed the performance.

[7:33] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Looks to Zee* "Uum... so... I don't know if this is a rude question to ask a joined trill, but... should I still call you Zee?"

[7:33] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Was quite the short notice but I am glad it enlightened your day, Commander."

[7:33] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Yes, if you so wish to. Relidia."

[7:34] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, I would not 'ave blamed you if you could not make it, I 'ad no idea zis was 'appening until ze last moment as well."

[7:34] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Yey! It is so good to see you!"

[7:34] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "Not like I was doing anything else important at the time," *she winked as she sat down, crossing her spotted legs.*

[7:34] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: "It is... agreeable to see so many familiar faces again."

[7:35] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Not every day we get the chance to do this." *Smiles gently.*

[7:36] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Yupp! it was good to get to play with all of you!"

[7:36] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Hides a mischiviosu grin.*

[7:37] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Innocently eats her cake*

[7:37] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  *She smirked and sipped her wine.*

[7:37] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David takes a sip of his wine.* Will you be rejoining us, Zee?

[7:38] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: *Glares at Zee at the mention of rejoining.*

[7:38] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Val glares at Yeran*

[7:39] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: *Does not flinch for a moment. Looking like a a grampa who could stare a rabid targ to the floor.*

[7:39] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "Of all the chaperones, you had to get Sir Grumpypants..."  *She snickered.*

[7:39] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Val seems to have no issue, the french glare being a national pasttime.*

[7:39] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "I am not a Chaperone, Sereya Eren, You know this very well young lady. And if you had listened better..."

[7:39] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Young lady?" *Tilts her head*

[7:40] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David raises his eyebrows.*

[7:40] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "She's like... one of the oldest people in here?"

[7:40] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Euhrmh... no offence?"|

[7:40] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  *She simply laughed.*  "Veeri, if you only knew..."

[7:41] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "Younglings these days..." *Grumbles and helps himself to to hot chocolate.*

[7:41] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "I don't." *She admitted freely with a shrug of her shoudlers.*

[7:41] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Quietly* "Ok, boomer..."

[7:41] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "...What?"

[7:41] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Human phrase I learned from holos." *Leans in to whisper to ERen*

[7:41] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: "That is possible, Commander. So far I can not comment on anything for certain."

[7:42] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "Maker preserve me..."  *She sipped her wine.*

[7:42] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Well, I am certain Liz would fight -anyone- toozh and nail..."

[7:42] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "If you had payed more attention, the maker would not need to preserve you, Young lady."

[7:43] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "Did someone say something?"  *Sip.*

[7:43] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: "Let us leave it that I am not at liberity to discuss any future topics in regards to that right now... and we leave it as such for now."

[7:44] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: *Nods in satisfaction to the answer.*

[7:45] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Valerie covers her mouth with her hand to chuckle behind it.*

[7:45] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Wow... joining doesn't look fun..."

[7:45] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David scratches his head, confused at the hostility of the unknown person.*

[7:45] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "Joining is a great honour, a rare priveledge and a huge responcebility bestowed on a promising individual. It is not meant to be 'fun' young lady."

[7:46] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "I mean.... duh, it's an honour and a privilege? But you're taking the whole mean handler thing a bit too far?"

[7:46] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "I am not a handeler."

[7:46] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "Veeri... just don't."

[7:46] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Shrugs and nods at Eren.*

[7:47] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "HAve you any idea of hte training requiered to hold my position, young lady? I overseen hundreds of newly joined in my years. A job I take utmost pride and dedication to I tell you. And to >

[7:47] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Azacri had since fallen asleep on David's arm.*

[7:48] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > cme here to be called a boomer, a handeler or a chaperone... HMPF! The nerve! I tell you youth these day lack all respect for the intitutions, When I was younger...."

[7:48] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Val hides her smirk at the cantankerous grandpa with her glass of wine as she takes a sip*

[7:48] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "...We were still slinging rocks and living in caves, yes, we know."

[7:48] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Giggles at Eren*

[7:48] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David was still focused on the very hostile Yeran to notice.*

[7:49] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *Xyvlv joins in in teh exact phrase Eren said, and Zee seems like she wanted to out of reflex.*

[7:49] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "Hmpf..."

[7:49] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *Val openly chuckles now at all the joiners repeating it.*

[7:50] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I bet you do 'ave some lovely stories of when Eren or Xylvarenn were first joined..."

[7:50] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "First joined... Maybe not. But I know these two... and I will keep a close eye on them both as long as I am here." *Eyes Eren and Xylv.*

[7:50] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Good luck..."

[7:51] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren] *She bat her eyelashes.*  "You'll have to get in line to admire us, old man."

[7:51] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "Hmpf..."

[7:52] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: 'Commander, do get Azacri a pillow, at least?"

[7:53] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David looks over at Azacri.* Oh.

[7:53] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Let her sleep? She seems happy."

[7:53] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "Do not htink I have forgotten you, Sereya..."

[7:53] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Ooooh, 'ow ominous."

[7:54] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "I was never under the illusion you had, I'm quite unforgettable," *she grinned.*

[7:55] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "Hmpf!"

[7:55] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *giggles*

[7:55] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: *Tries to not look to ammused.*

[7:55] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Very openly looks amused.*

[7:56] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Soooo... maybe you could visit the Citadel Spa, mister? It's very nice and relaxing?"

[7:56] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "What type of spa is it, young lady?"

[7:57] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Well, massages, hot springs, jacuzzis, a sauna, that kind of thing. There's also different face masks, skin procedures and the like."

[7:57] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "Oh, yes, the milk baths are simply divine, too..."

[7:57] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Veeeery good for stress." *Tries not to imply anythign too hard.*

[7:58] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "Makes ya feel right at home."

[7:58] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "I will visit that if my responcebilities allows me."

[7:59] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Gives Zee an apologetic "I tried" look*

[7:59] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: "If such is to thine interest, sir, I could merely attend such venue myself to enable thien relaxation."

[7:59] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "Perhaps... With your schedule I doubt it."

[8:01] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David makes sure to keep Azacri upright.* What are your responsibilities?

[8:01] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Eren, Spa certainly would count as triquana meditation after all? right?"

[8:01] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "Oh, absolutely."

[8:01] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: *Azacri's foot twitched slightly like a dreaming puppy.*

[8:02] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: *VAl was momentarily distracted by the sleeping puppyzoid, surpressing an awww.*

[8:02] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Alizee]: "See, Triquana meditation... how splendid I must say. Such I certianly can schedule in on the aloted time."

[8:02] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Oooh! See! No problems!"

[8:02] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: *sighs deeply and looks to David, Did you ask me, Mr?"

[8:03] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: Yes.

[8:05] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "My responcebilities are many and complicated. To atempt to summarize the great task given to me, I am to look after this young individuals well being, mental as well as physica, report to >

[8:06] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > the comission and the doctors there, assure they adhere to the recovery plan presented, monitor for signs of complications or cases where the symbiotn atempts to overwhelm the host, or the opposite>

[8:07] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > for I have done this hudnreds of times before... They are lucky to be assigned to me to guide them."

[8:07] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "He's here to make sure Zee's belly buddy doesn't drive her crazy or the other way around," *she said lightly as she licked her fork.*

[8:08] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Seems to have gotten distracted due to the long-winded speech, pouring herself a tiny bit of wine.*

[8:08] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: I see.

[8:08] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "Do not call the estemed symbionts by such childish names, young lady."

[8:09] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Is she technically not part symbiont?"

[8:09] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Zat should allow 'er to say zat word."

[8:09] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "Hey, I'm a belly buddy too... if I don't mind, why should anyone mind?"

[8:09] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "So it's like the S word?"

[8:09] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "She does it to be defiant."

[8:09] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  *She grinned.*

[8:10] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "No it is not like the S word. He is jsut... very devouted to his role to teh Symbionts, Veeri."

[8:10] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "I zhink ze name 'as a certain charm?"

[8:10] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] *Nodnods to Xylv.*

[8:10] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: *grumbles and noms some cake.*

[8:11] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: S word?

[8:12] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Euhrm... I shouldn't say it unless all trills here are comfortable with it?"

[8:12] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "Maker, Veeri..."

[8:12] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri} "He asked..."

[8:12] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: *Deadpan looks at Veeri.*

[8:13] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "It's a... term non-trills used, and sometimes use, in a derogatory manner, to refer to trills?" *To David*

[8:15] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "And I'm outta here... good night, kids.  Principal Yeran."  *She winked and went to get her keytar.*

[8:15] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: [Veeri] "Good night, Eren! Thank you, i twas super fun!"

[8:15] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "It was truly pleasant, merci, Eren. Enjoy yourself."

[8:15] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "Congratulations again, Chalons.  Zee."

[8:16] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "I will see you soon, Sereya Eren. Speaking of... I was requested to investigate certain avoideance of Zhin'taras..."

[8:16] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: *Imediately stands up* "Oh I forgot I have lunch with Liz!"

[8:16] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: [Eren]  "I think I hear my captain calling!  Coming, Captain!"  *She slung the keytar over her shoulder and powerwalked out.*

[8:17] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David waves at Eren as she goes.*

[8:17] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Oh, so zat is who Liz was setting ze table for." *Covers  Xylv*

[8:17] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: "Good evening everyone, See you later and congratulatiosn once more, Chalons!"

[8:17] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Merci. Enjoy yourself, Xylvarenn."

[8:17] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: *Grumbles as the two Trill vanishing quicker then a ferengi at the mention of the taxman.*

[8:17] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "So, do pardon ze 'uman... what is zis... Zin'Taras?"

[8:18] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "It is a esteemed rite of hte joiend Trill where you meet with your previous hosts to finda  closure and a beloning togethr, to udnerstand the link that makes you you."

[8:19] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "...Meet wiz your previous 'osts?" *Val frowned deeply at that.* "Zat sounds... 'ighly dangerous, illegal, and irresponsible in concerns to ze timeline."

[8:19] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "Not at all. And it does not invovle time traveling."

[8:20] [DOIC1] Azacri Kieres@liorexus: "I don't like eggs..."  *Az murmured in her sleep.*

[8:20] [DOIC1] David Allen@ClingingMars: *David strokes Azacri's head as he listens.* How do you meet the previous hosts?

[8:20] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Consider me curious, zen... a telepazhic link from ze symbiont some'ow, to ring out personalities of previous 'osts? But what do you project zem on, when zere is only one 'ost?"

[8:20] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "Or per'aps... a spiritual journey, of sorts, wiz trances and pills, no telepazhy?"

[8:21] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "The symbion is gifted with near perfect memories, and in it exist parts of all their previous hsots, their wisdom, personality, fears, dreams and traits. >

[8:21] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > A guardian can temporarily borrow one former hosts place in the symbiotn and for a short tiem grant it to a willing party to mantle the former host, to give the new host the chance to meet them. It>

[8:22] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > is an important rite, and compeltely unprofessional to avoid it when the time comes."

[8:22] [DOIC1] Valerie Chalons@bulgariandragon1: "So you project ze personalities to ozher people... curious. I 'ave seen ze like 'appen in... a different context. I 'ope your version of it is more 'armless."

[8:23] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: [Yeran]: "It is harmless, aside from that sometimes the host learns something of themself they wish they did not>

[8:23] [DOIC1] Therese Xylvarenn@Illuice: > and in that case it may be unpleasant, but it is highly nessesary."
