Cate Alexander:
Good, good.
Firesign:
nice picture of you :)
Azeltir:
However…
Cate Alexander:
Ah, thank you.
Azeltir:
Your first sentance ends with a preposition!
Firesign:
lol
Cate Alexander:
I’ll talk to the editors.
Cate Alexander:
Maybe fire them…
Rebekah:
shorah
Firesign:
im glad to see the update
Azeltir:
Thanks, just looking out for the grammarian cause.
Azeltir:
It’s pretty, though, and I love the new timeline.
Cate Alexander:
Great.
Cate Alexander:
Glad to hear.
Xavius links in, then tosses a bottle of purple smoke at the ground to look mysterious.
Azeltir:
Very mysterious, Xavius.
Azeltir:
So, what’s new with the resoration?
Xavius:
I try.
Firesign:
any idea on when the library barriers will come down, cate?
Cate Alexander:
Hopefully soon. Things have bogged down a bit.
Azeltir:
They are already, Firesign.
Cate Alexander:
Some debate within the DRC.
Xavius:
Not the inner ones.
Cate Alexander:
I think we are working it out…
Azeltir:
Or, the ones to the library itself?
Firesign:
thats great
Xavius bows
jetuser:
Cate i have a really quick question
Cate Alexander:
I had hoped to keep things moving but there are those who don’t have the same hopes.
Cate Alexander:
Yes, of course.
jetuser:
Any more news on sharper?
Cate Alexander:
I did have a conversation with him.
Cate Alexander:
A while ago.
jetuser:
And what did he say?
Cate Alexander:
Short.
Firesign:
who doesnt, cate? victor?
Cate Alexander:
I think he just wanted to talk, to get to know me a bit.
Xavius:
What about Dr. Watson?
Cate Alexander:
I have not heard a thing.
Azeltir:
So, I saw a lot of phase five ages. Can we get a brief description of them?
Xavius nods.
Azeltir:
On the website, that is.
Cate Alexander:
Of the Ages?
Cate Alexander:
Ah… maybe.
Azeltir laughs
Azeltir:
Meaning what?
Cate Alexander:
Meaning…maybe.
Leonor:
Shorah
Azeltir:
Even a couple words about them would be fun.
Firesign:
maybe a couple of cameraphone pics? ;)
jetuser:
Well i’m more interested in Dereno
Lemonhead:
hmmm… could you speak a bit about these ages that are closer to being opened?
jetuser:
since that’s new to me
Cate Alexander:
We may put up brief descriptions of the Ages or we may not.
Azeltir:
I have to say, that would be lovely.
Cate Alexander:
Noted.
Rebekah:
hello leonor and moietay
Leonor:
A brief description would be nice.
Azeltir:
Do we know where these firemarbles came from?
Barbarra:
It would be nice to know how to dress and so on.
Arya Anna:
just whisper in our ears, we won’t tell ;)
*Moietay:
Shorah!
jetuser:
Oh, by the way, assuming kirel gets released, will the current neighborhoods be cycled between the two?
jetuser:
ooh a colored firestone
Rebekah:
i love firemarbles!
Cate Alexander:
Some of the phase five Ages are fairly small. Contained.
Barbarra:
Ah.
Rebekah:
hmm
Cate Alexander:
Thus we’ve been able to work through them much quicker than normal.
Butch waves hello
Rebekah:
yes
Azeltir:
Are they islands, or like pods?
jetuser:
What about kirel? Will neighborhoods be allowed to follow the kirel layout assuming it is released?
Cate Alexander:
Smaller ages are easier, given our staffing.
Firesign:
we’ll be seeing tsogal soon, i imagine?
Cate Alexander:
I hope.
Firesign:
good
Cate Alexander:
That is the plan.
Lemonhead:
hey, I have a question… it seems that Ae`gura is divided in districts, like Kerath`em district, etc… so what`s the name of the district we have acces to right now?
Firesign:
plans are good :)
Rebekah:
so it is still on schedule?
jetuser:
Oh, by the way, can i apply to be a Restoration Engineer? :)
*Moietay:
Hehe…on that note, count me in :P
jetuser:
Yeah I think a lot of people would want to become a Res Eng
Xavius gives Eddie a better look.
jetuser:
but i’ve always been interested in the art
Firesign:
oh, another quick question. how is victor doing on the great zero?
Cate Alexander:
Great zero is coming along. We had a small setback for future plans but it’s coming along.
Firesign:
lattice problems?
Azeltir:
Will we explorers be helping out with the calibration?
Barbarra leans left
Lemonhead:
I guess my question about the name of the city district got ignored… lol
Xavius tries to be funny
Cate Alexander:
Sorry.
Cate Alexander:
I’m not sure to be exact.
Xavius:
Ah.
Barbarra:
The city district is Ae’gura
Lemonhead:
oh, that`s fine
Xavius:
Private Room.
Cate Alexander:
A few have been mentioned.
jetuser:
I’m pretty sure its one of the mid to lower ones
Xavius:
Oop.
Barbarra:
The whole cavern is the city proper.
Lemonhead:
Ae`gura is divided in many districts, Barbarra
jetuser:
Because atrus mentions the pub in his journals as in the middle district
Lemonhead:
they all have different names
Cate Alexander:
Ishah for one.
Xavius:
Emphasis on many.
Cate Alexander:
I’m not we know exactly where the lines were drawn… we may have opened areas of a few.
Barbarra:
Ae’gura is the one Island, not the whole city.
Firesign:
oh, speaking of the pub. any chance of that being opened soon? :)
Cate Alexander:
I’m not the best to ask.
Sorceress:
I’m glad that the DRC is working city interiors. Are they more pulblic buildings, or actual D’ni homes?
Cate Alexander:
We have plans to use it… as far as opening it, it was always associated with Kahlo and I’m not sure how soon Kahlo will be able to get here.
Firesign:
ahh, ok
jetuser:
What about the Res Eng question, will us mere explorers be able to become one eventually?
Xavius:
Also, just wondering, since it’s just an idea that I had. Do the Doors we see on walkways and places in bevin ever have a chance of leading anywhere?
Barbarra:
We could certainly use a place to sit in the city.
Xavius:
I was just thinking about it today, is all.
Cate Alexander:
We are not currently taking applications.
*Moietay:
Are there any future plans for seeing more of the garden Ages, for example the garden area of Eder Gira?
Xavius:
Eder Gira has another area?
jetuser:
well eder tsogal is coming
jetuser:
that counts
Azeltir:
Mm, about Eder Delin, did the DRC approve of the Journey door that was oh so inviting to us explorers?
Xavius:
Tsogahl’s an Eder?
jetuser:
yeah
Cate Alexander:
We’d love to open more of Gira.
*Moietay:
I meant, more areas of the previously released ages.
Butch:
Ms. Alexander, There are 3 ages flagged removed from list. 1.22.07. why were those ages ‘removed’?
Firesign:
yes, xav
jetuser:
its called eder tsogal for a reason lol
Cate Alexander:
I”ll need to raise more funding.
*Moietay:
Great, I would love to see more of that Age :D.
Xavius leans left
Cate Alexander:
We felt it better to not have them on the public list.
Azeltir:
Is there any hope, like many of us have maintained, that we’ll be able to explore Katran’s Torus Age?
Azeltir:
Or that of Tay?
Xavius:
What of Sohvokhbahr?
Firesign:
was the question about the firemarbles answered? where they came from?
*Moietay:
Ooh…Torus :D
Cate Alexander:
I’m not sure I’m familiar with that one?
Xavius:
That’s what they all say..
Azeltir:
Torus was Catherine (Katran)’s first Age.
Cate Alexander:
We scattered the marbles.
Whalyn:
Is there any way we can help with the fund raising… to sort of hurry things along some?
*Moietay:
It is described in the Book of Atrus.
Barbarra:
I’m not sure there was ever a link to that here.
Firesign:
ahh, so theyre from the drc then. thanks.
Azeltir:
I love the marbles. Thanks, DRC.
Barbarra:
I notice excavations in the guild hall–
Cate Alexander:
The fact that you are here is helping the fundraising. The more people the more money companies will be willing to contribute.
Firesign:
yeah, i like the colored ones. nice change. :)
Cate Alexander:
Numbers… always comes down to numbers.
Barbarra:
Could you tell us if anything has been found beneath the Guild Hall?
Cate Alexander:
Yes.
jetuser:
Ah i know this is kinda random, but there’s been a bit of chatter about an apparent spiral pathway seen in the city, do you know anything about it?
Firesign:
money talks
Cate Alexander:
I don’t.
jetuser:
On one of the spires in the city
Xavius plays with red firemarble in enthusiasm.
jetuser:
People were saying it leads to the Guild hall?
Cate Alexander:
I don’t believe so…
Barbarra:
Are you looking for the tomb of the great king beneath the Guild hall?
Sorceress:
Maybe it’s better to let dead Kings alone.
Cate Alexander:
We are carefully advancing as far as we can in the temple beneath the Hall although it’s very dangerous and slow work.
Azeltir:
Also, will someone else take over Teledahn now that Sharper’s gone?
jetuser:
Well it was speculation is all, its been there for a long time, i was just wondering what the pathway on the spire was
Barbarra:
I can certainly understand that.
Cate Alexander:
Currently not happenign at all.
Cate Alexander:
I should be moving along. Visit some different neighborhoods. Good talking to you all…
