[Investigative Meeting Chat Log for December 16, 2012 at Cafe Jack, Grignano, Nova Albion]

[10:57] Fenix Eldritch: Hello
[10:57] Shigeko Tachikawa: Hello Valdora. Nice to see you!
[10:57] Valdora Grayson: Hello hello!
[10:57] Valdora Grayson: Very nice to see you too, Shigeko.
[10:57] Valdora Grayson: How are you?
[10:58] Shigeko Tachikawa: I'm fine, thanks.
[10:58] Shigeko Tachikawa: Keeping myself busy with building a plane.
[10:58] Valdora Grayson: Please have a seat, won't you?
[10:58] Shigeko Tachikawa: I've done some first test flights and I'm quite pleased with the results so far.
[10:58] Valdora Grayson: How nice, my first husband worked on the flight line at the old Abbots Aerodrome years ago.
[10:59] Valdora Grayson: Everything was about the planes. Well, almost everything.
[10:59] Shigeko Tachikawa: ((brb, sorry))
[10:59] Valdora GraysonValdora Grayson nods
[10:59] Valdora Grayson: Fenix, thank you so much for the copy of the bottle.
[11:00] Fenix Eldritch: You're welcome! It's not much, but hey... you never know
[11:00] Valdora Grayson: I hope yours finds it's way to Salazar in some way.
[11:00] Valdora Grayson: I agree.
[11:00] Valdora Grayson: Every little bit helps.
[11:00] Fenix Eldritch: Sudden change in plans allowed me to attend today
[11:00] Valdora Grayson: Wonderful!
[11:00] Valdora Grayson: I barely made it here myself in time.
[11:00] Valdora Grayson: Had to leave Adam to discuss some of the Trust business with an old friend.
[11:01] Valdora Grayson: But I'll get to that later in case anyone else arrives.
[11:01] Fenix EldritchFenix Eldritch nods
[11:01] Valdora Grayson: While we wait a bit... please tell me about how you know Salazar.
[11:02] Fenix Eldritch: Oh, well I had stumbled across his historical documents regarding the great erase and this world, and was fascinated by it all. I actually mt Salazar in person for the first time at a Bay city event one year ago
[11:02] Valdora Grayson: I see.
[11:03] Valdora Grayson: Which event was that?
[11:03] Fenix Eldritch: The annual tree charity - this year's one was last week I believe
[11:04] Valdora Grayson: I think I read about that. I hope they raised plenty for their charity this year.
[11:04] Fenix Eldritch: I'm new to bay city, so I am not too knowledgeable yet about the events - but I believe that was the one
[11:05] Valdora Grayson: Have you been inworld long or just not long in Bay City?
[11:05] Valdora Grayson: And, I should say.
[11:05] Fenix Eldritch: Just to Bay City, I've been in world for over seven years
[11:05] Valdora Grayson: Oh well! You are a long time resident then!
[11:06] Fenix EldritchFenix Eldritch grins
[11:06] Valdora Grayson: Shigeko, what kind of plane are you working on right now?
[11:06] Shigeko Tachikawa: Oh, by the way. TheGazelle won't be here tonight. He sent me a message an hour ago. His little Gazelles are keeping him busy.
[11:07] Fenix Eldritch: Hearburro?
[11:07] Fenix Eldritch: *headburro?
[11:07] Valdora Grayson: Okay, thank you,
[11:07] Valdora Grayson: Those little ragamuffins!
[11:07] Shigeko Tachikawa: it's a flying wing.
[11:07] Shigeko Tachikawa: Headburro, yes
[11:07] [Free] Traveller's HUD from the Golden Oriole: Ready!
[11:08] Valdora Grayson: Oh my! Hello Osprey.
[11:08] Shigeko Tachikawa: hey Osprey
[11:08] Osprey Therian: lol
[11:08] Fenix Eldritch: Hello
[11:08] Osprey Therian: hi!
[11:08] Valdora Grayson: Aren't you the little dickens!
[11:08] Shigeko Tachikawa: Was that a good idea? There are supposedly a few cats around tonight.
[11:08] Osprey Therian: just here by the skin o my teeth
[11:08] Valdora Grayson: You and me both!
[11:09] Osprey Therian: lol
[11:09] Valdora Grayson: Shigeko, is your flying wing near completion, or will it be a long term project?
[11:10] Osprey Therian: Flying wing!
[11:10] Shigeko Tachikawa: It's almost ready, but I'm not yet very happy with the design. I'm currently trying a few different designs and I'll see which one I'll end up with.
[11:10] Valdora GraysonValdora Grayson nods
[11:10] Valdora Grayson: I look forward to seeing it in the air soon then.
[11:10] Osprey Therian: Does that figure into our quest?
[11:10] Osprey Therian: in any way?
[11:10] Shigeko Tachikawa: https://my.secondlife.com/shigeko.tachikawa/snapshots/50cc9e577549635300000001?version=original
[11:11] Valdora Grayson: Anythi is possible, of course.
[11:11] Valdora Grayson: Anything.
[11:11] Valdora GraysonValdora Grayson checks the link
[11:11] Fenix Eldritch: It looks really nice!
[11:11] Osprey Therian: wow neat
[11:12] Valdora Grayson: Oh! I did see that on the feed yesterday!
[11:12] Valdora Grayson: Beautiful.
[11:12] Valdora Grayson: I love the orange accents.
[11:12] Valdora Grayson: Love it!
[11:12] Shigeko Tachikawa: thank you
[11:12] Valdora Grayson: It's very graceful looking.
[11:13] Valdora Grayson: But, you should wear a headscarf when you fly!
[11:13] Valdora Grayson: lol
[11:13] Shigeko Tachikawa: will do the next time :)
[11:13] Osprey Therian: Has anyone heard anything from Salazar or his gini?
[11:13] Valdora Grayson: I havn't, not since his gini sent that tweet message.
[11:14] Shigeko Tachikawa: Not me, I haven't received my Gini yet. I guess I have to poke Champie again.
[11:14] Valdora Grayson: And none of the other officers have either.
[11:14] Osprey Therian: I wonder if this meeting is too close to Christmas for much attendance.
[11:14] Valdora Grayson: Well, that is why I wanted to have a quick meeting today.
[11:14] Valdora Grayson: Before it got too close.
[11:14] Fenix Eldritch: Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the GINI? A communication device?
[11:14] Osprey Therian: I have not heard from Champie in ages - hope he's ok.
[11:14] Valdora Grayson: And I wasn't expecting many.
[11:14] Valdora Grayson: I do too, Osprey.
[11:15] Valdora Grayson: But all who are here are who are supposed to be here today.
[11:15] Osprey Therian: :-D
[11:15] Valdora Grayson: I just have a few thing to relay of my own.
[11:15] Valdora Grayson: First...
[11:15] Valdora Grayson: Cessadia and Adam were not able to be here as they are on Trust business, each on their own.
[11:16] Valdora Grayson: I was just with Adam in the Pacific Northwest and left him for a short while to come here this morning.
[11:16] Valdora Grayson: Hello Lucy!
[11:16] Valdora Grayson: Glad to see you.
[11:16] Shigeko Tachikawa: Hello Lucy
[11:16] Lucy Tornado: Hello
[11:17] Lucy Tornado: Thank you for the TP Osprey
[11:17] Lucy TornadoLucy Tornado rubs eyes
[11:17] Valdora Grayson: I don't think I've seen you since Adam and i were at a performance of the Show Must Go On!
[11:17] Osprey Therian: We are discussing the strange occurrances
[11:17] Lucy Tornado: That was another lifetime!
[11:17] Valdora Grayson: Please have a seat, Lucy.
[11:17] Valdora Grayson: Yes, it does feel that way, doesn't it?
[11:17] Lucy Tornado: The seats are rezzing -- don't want to sit on anyone!
[11:17] Valdora GraysonValdora Grayson laughs
[11:18] Osprey Therian: Did S's horse ever turn up?
[11:18] Valdora Grayson: Not to my knowledge. But, hold on.. let me check the group list...
[11:18] Osprey Therian: Salazar's horse was loose in the forest.
[11:19] Osprey Therian: And of course Salazar is missing, Lu.
[11:19] Lucy Tornado: Was he with his horse when he ... ulp... vanished?
[11:19] Valdora Grayson: Salazar's horse was last detected on the Grid on the 10th.
[11:19] Valdora Grayson: Just six days ago.
[11:19] Osprey Therian: hmmm
[11:19] Valdora Grayson: So he is here somewhere.
[11:19] Lucy Tornado: Who detected him?
[11:19] Valdora Grayson: The Linden Group list.
[11:19] Lucy Tornado: Oh.
[11:19] Lucy Tornado: So he was not seen.
[11:20] Valdora Grayson: I don't think I've heard any reports of first hand contact from anyone yet.
[11:20] Valdora Grayson: Adam has been searching for Tahro off and on the past few weeks.
[11:20] Lucy Tornado: Is Tahro the horse?
[11:20] Valdora Grayson: Yes, dear.
[11:20] Valdora Grayson: Tahro is Salazar's horse.
[11:21] Lucy Tornado: Has anything else changed here in the last 2 weeks?
[11:21] Valdora Grayson: We lost track of him after Salazar disappeared.
[11:21] Valdora Grayson: But he seems to be around. Somewhere.
[11:21] Valdora Grayson: I hope he is all right.
[11:21] Valdora Grayson: He's a smart horse and can take care of himself. That's for sure.
[11:21] Lucy Tornado: Horses usually come home to their barn.
[11:22] Lucy Tornado: Like cats to a paper bag!
[11:22] Valdora Grayson: Well, Salazar had been putting him up in a small field near the Cowell Village.
[11:22] Valdora Grayson: But, with that gone, I wonder if he isn't a bit muddled about what has happened.
[11:22] Lucy Tornado: Could we put some other horses there, and some oats and hay?
[11:23] Lucy Tornado: He might come to them.
[11:23] Lucy Tornado: OH it's gone
[11:23] Lucy Tornado: hmmm
[11:23] Valdora Grayson: We no longer have access to the property.
[11:23] Osprey Therian: Hello mari
[11:23] Marianne McCann: Sorry I'm late!
[11:23] Fenix Eldritch: Hi Mari
[11:23] Valdora Grayson: So it would be difficult to put anything in Cowell.
[11:23] Tish: good... eh, day everyone
[11:23] Valdora Grayson: But, we could try closer to the Rodeo property.
[11:23] Osprey Therian: hi!
[11:23] Fenix Eldritch: 'ello
[11:23] Valdora Grayson: Hello Laetizia!
[11:24] Marianne McCann: Hi Tish!
[11:24] Lucy Tornado: I have a horse or two we could pasture there.
[11:24] Lucy Tornado: If I can
[11:24] Shigeko Tachikawa: Hello Mari, hi Tish
[11:24] Lucy Tornado: Hi Mari and Tish!
[11:24] Valdora Grayson: Hi Marianne, so glad to see you both.
[11:24] Osprey Therian: Lu, try riding around the forest.
[11:24] Osprey Therian: you might see him
[11:24] Valdora Grayson: Yes, that may draw Tahro back!
[11:24] Lucy Tornado: I may get lost! I have no sense of direction!
[11:24] Lucy Tornado: But I will try
[11:25] Valdora Grayson: Just let everythign rez first!
[11:25] Valdora Grayson: lol
[11:25] Lucy Tornado: LOL
[11:25] Tish: Stay out of Noyo though, a full parcel there gives problems
[11:25] Lucy Tornado: ohhhhh
[11:25] Osprey Therian: Mrs G you said you had things to report...
[11:25] Valdora Grayson: Oh dear.
[11:25] Valdora Grayson: Well, let me discuss Cessadia's efforts first.
[11:25] Marianne McCannMarianne McCann nosa, "ya, that's caused some navigational issues with th' Electra
[11:26] Valdora Grayson: But before I do that, let me just say thank you to you all.
[11:26] Valdora Grayson: You don't know how much I have appreciated all your support and efforts the past few months.
[11:26] Valdora Grayson: It is truly a blessing.
[11:26] Fenix Eldritch: :)
[11:27] Lucy Tornado: :)
[11:27] Valdora Grayson: I wish there was more that Adam and I could do to show our appreciation,
[11:27] Tish: ci mancherebbe, is what they say here: how could you not have our suppoert?
[11:27] Osprey Therian: We all have great love and respect for your family.
[11:27] Marianne McCann: You're certainy welcome
[11:27] Marianne McCannMarianne McCann nods in agreement with Osprey
[11:27] Valdora Grayson: And perhaps we may be able to figure out a way to do that in the coming year.
[11:27] Valdora Grayson: now, Cessadia's concerns.
[11:28] Valdora Grayson: Shigeko, Cessadia wanted to be here to speak with you directly.
[11:28] Valdora Grayson: But she felt it important to track down an old colleague and wanted me to relay her thoughts to you today.
[11:29] Shigeko TachikawaShigeko Tachikawa nods
[11:29] Valdora Grayson: She, and we all, are very impressed with your efforts at the Rodeo site.
[11:30] Valdora Grayson: Your skill at cutting the new landing stones is impressive.
[11:30] Shigeko Tachikawa: Thank you
[11:30] Valdora Grayson: But Cessadia is troubled by the readings she has collected from them.
[11:30] Shigeko Tachikawa: what readings?
[11:30] Lucy Tornado: ?
[11:31] Valdora Grayson: She thinks there may be a small compatibility issue with them and wants to discuss that with you in person soon.
[11:31] Shigeko TachikawaShigeko Tachikawa nods.
[11:31] Valdora Grayson: The reason she couldn't be here today is that she wen to New Babbage to consult with a respected geologist there.
[11:31] Fenix Eldritch: I was at the site a few weeks ago - I could still see bits of energy arcing from the stones
[11:31] Osprey Therian: dOES SHE THINK IT'S DANGEROUS TO BE NEAR RIGHT NOW?
[11:32] Tish: Good question Osprey
[11:32] Valdora Grayson: And took samples of some of the stones in the area to conmpare.
[11:32] Shigeko Tachikawa: You all saw that my experiments were quite unpredictable, that's why I didn't continue until further investigations have been done.
[11:32] Valdora Grayson: Osprey, only that the damaged equipment may not be quite safe to be around.
[11:33] Valdora Grayson: But the stones arre fine for now.
[11:33] Osprey Therian: ok ty
[11:33] Tish: Will the dangerous equipment be removed?
[11:33] Tish: (if you don't know me, safety is my prime concern as Civil Protection)
[11:34] Valdora Grayson: The remaining original stone has grown more quiet since the accident, though it is having some low level, intermittent activity between it and the new stones that Shigeko placed.
[11:34] Lucy Tornado: ooo
[11:34] Valdora Grayson: Yes, Laetizia. Adam is having a dumpster dropped at the location later today.
[11:34] Tish: That's good.
[11:35] Valdora Grayson: And will be handling the cleanup of the machinery debris.
[11:35] Lucy Tornado: Where will it be taken?
[11:35] TishTish bites her lip and winks at Mari
[11:35] Marianne McCannMarianne McCann grins
[11:36] Osprey TherianOsprey Therian thinks about cheese.
[11:36] Valdora Grayson: That's a good question. I don't know at this point. Eventually it will be disposed of I suppose. But I think Cessadia wanted to run some tests on it first.
[11:36] Valdora Grayson: Were there any ideas here about that?
[11:36] Lucy Tornado: Cheese
[11:37] Tish: well I guess that the materials in and of themselves are not dangerous when disassembled
[11:37] Valdora Grayson: I know Cessadia has been studying the blast pattern and taking careful note of where things ended up.
[11:37] Valdora Grayson: Cessadia is most concerned about the two energy sources that still seem to be active.
[11:37] Lucy Tornado: Damn Osprey now I'm thinking about cheese.
[11:37] Tish: not sure what's in a GINI though, those are still a mystery to me
[11:37] Osprey Therian: Mrs T is amazing.
[11:37] Marianne McCann: Ya, I s'pect the biggest issue with the equipment was the reaction to the stone, not the equiment itself
[11:37] Valdora Grayson: Those will be deactivated in a careful manner.
[11:38] Lucy Tornado: Please be very careful.
[11:38] Valdora Grayson: The energy sources in the machines, not anything to do with the stones.
[11:38] Marianne McCann: As long as they're removed carefully, I'm gouda with it.
[11:38] Tish: any more readings on the stability of the grid itself in and around Rodeo?
[11:39] Marianne McCann: er, good. Sorry
[11:39] Lucy Tornado: LOL Mari
[11:39] Osprey Therian: ;-)
[11:40] Fenix Eldritch: Couldn't let it brie, could you?
[11:40] Valdora Grayson: The area seems to have calmed down a bit. It is still an area that gets more than its share of disruption.
[11:40] Lucy Tornado: *groan*
[11:40] Tish: Took you long to come up with that Fenix °͜°
[11:41] Fenix Eldritch: (( i forgot how it was spelled :P )
[11:41] Valdora Grayson: But I think it is more stable now than when the remaining landing stone first began to glow.
[11:41] Marianne McCann: For what it's worth, I have had to do flyovers when goin tween abbotts and Kremer Airfield. I'm usually at a decent altitude there, to get over the weather. I get some disturbances there, usually need to go visual rather than rely on my instruments over the area, but it's fairly minor all in all
[11:41] Marianne McCann: Dunno how it would be at lower altitudes, though
[11:41] TishTish concurs
[11:42] Valdora GraysonValdora Grayson nods
[11:42] Valdora Grayson: Well, do be careful.
[11:42] Marianne McCannMarianne McCann nods
[11:42] Tish: At lower altitudes theres the weather, which still is a phenomenon we hardly understand
[11:42] Lucy Tornado: Could you try slightly lower? Or is it too dangerous.
[11:42] Lucy Tornado: See what happens?
[11:42] Lucy Tornado: Maybe send a drone
[11:42] Tish: I was knocked out of the sky but that's a while ago now
[11:42] Lucy Tornado: ~*~OMG~*~
[11:42] Valdora Grayson: Shigeko, after Cessadia gets back from New Babbage I'm sure she will want to talk to you.
[11:42] Marianne McCann: I dunno, getting into those clouds would make me lose visual. I think that might not be a good idea
[11:42] Valdora Grayson: When are you usually available?
[11:43] Osprey Therian: I think we are beyond trying things just to see what happens.
[11:43] Marianne McCannMarianne McCann nods
[11:43] Shigeko Tachikawa: Today for the next 1.5 hours.
[11:43] Shigeko Tachikawa: Starting from tomorrow it will be difficult until after the 26th.
[11:43] Valdora Grayson: I understand.
[11:43] Osprey Therian: We can agree on the danger, I think.
[11:43] Shigeko Tachikawa: But there's no need to hurry.
[11:44] Valdora Grayson: I'm sure it won't be until after the holidays.
[11:44] Valdora Grayson: It's very funny about New Babbage.
[11:44] Valdora Grayson: I mean traveling back and forth.
[11:44] Lucy Tornado: What is?
[11:44] Valdora Grayson: I first noticed this with Salazar, but I see it with Cessadia's travels as well...
[11:45] Osprey Therian: Almost is like the glimpse of the city
[11:45] Valdora Grayson: The flow of time is very different, and unpredictable, between the two areas.
[11:45] Osprey Therian: Yes
[11:45] Lucy Tornado: Do you have a current theory about Salazar?
[11:45] Valdora Grayson: Sometimes Cessadia will go to New Babbage and return in just a few minutes...
[11:45] Valdora Grayson: but she says that she's been away for days.
[11:45] Lucy Tornado: Oh !
[11:46] Marianne McCann: Ya, I've heard similar stories from some Bay city operativ... um... visitors to Caledon.
[11:46] Valdora Grayson: Yes, it's very peculiar.
[11:46] TishTish nods
[11:46] Osprey Therian: That makes sense to me. NB is not our past.
[11:46] Valdora Grayson: I don't think it is either, Osprey.
[11:46] Valdora Grayson: And Cessadia is sure that it's not.
[11:46] Osprey Therian: It's a separate time/place.
[11:47] Tish: exactly
[11:47] Marianne McCannMarianne McCann nods
[11:47] Valdora Grayson: None-the-less, when she does return you can expect a message from her, Shigeko.
[11:47] Osprey Therian: I wonder how many there are.
[11:47] Tish: this is why we can go there, and they can come here, without disturbing any greaterv forces
[11:47] Osprey Therian: Infinite, perhaps.
[11:47] Valdora Grayson: Now, the bigger news.
[11:48] Osprey TherianOsprey Therian inches forward.
[11:48] Valdora Grayson: It concerns where Adam and I were this morning.
[11:48] Tish: sit still silly mouse!
[11:48] Valdora Grayson: In the Pacific Northwest.
[11:48] Marianne McCann: Hmm?
[11:48] Valdora Grayson: In fact, Adam is still there and when the meeting is over I will be returning.
[11:48] Shigeko Tachikawa: Thanks, Valdora. If I'm not around, she can drop me a message at any time. I'll come back to her as soon as I can.
[11:49] Tish: Seattle?
[11:49] Valdora Grayson: Yes, Tish. Seattle to be exact.
[11:49] Tish: well, tell us more!
[11:50] Tish: Seattle... Boeing factory.... *drools*
[11:50] Lucy Tornado: lol
[11:50] Valdora Grayson: Well, I don't know how many of you are aware. But when the accident occurred, the Trust lost large portions of it's land in Cowell and Kahruvel forest.
[11:51] Tish: sadly I'm all too aware of that yes
[11:51] Fenix Eldritch: Yeah.... such a shame
[11:51] Marianne McCann: A big loss... small compared to the loss of Sal, but... a big loss
[11:51] Shigeko Tachikawa: More than two regions, right.
[11:51] Lucy Tornado: Sal was pretty big
[11:51] Valdora Grayson: When Salazar went missing, we lost our main source of income and the funding for the Trust and the research we were doing.
[11:52] Lucy TornadoLucy Tornado quietly obsesses about the phrase "went missing"
[11:52] Marianne McCann: i'd heard some rumor to that
[11:52] Marianne McCann: of the funding loss, I mean
[11:53] Osprey Therian: We'll find him, Lu.
[11:53] Lucy Tornado: *sniff*
[11:53] Valdora Grayson: When the accident occurred a portion of the forest was saved because Cessadia, Salazar, Osprey, and the others there at the time had set up force fields to deflect the blast from the immediate area.
[11:54] Valdora Grayson: Cessadia says it was displaced to the surrounding terrain and that's why the outer parts of the forest and Cowell were affected more.
[11:54] Valdora Grayson: Force fields they created with their hand held ginis.
[11:55] Osprey Therian: ah
[11:55] Fenix Eldritch: wow
[11:56] Valdora Grayson: The reason we have been able to maintain that remaining region has been because of the ongoing support of the people in the Trust who contribute tier. Miraculously, it has been just enough to keep that Rodeo parcel intact.
[11:56] Valdora Grayson: These are long term folks who almost never come inworld anymore.
[11:57] Valdora Grayson: One, Lynn Lippmann, hasn't been back since 2007 I believe!
[11:57] Valdora Grayson: So we have been very fortunate.
[11:57] Osprey Therian: toes for the toeless - wasn't that Lynn?
[11:57] Marianne McCannMarianne McCann nods
[11:57] Valdora Grayson: Yes, I think so!
[11:57] Valdora Grayson: lol
[11:57] Valdora Grayson: Bless her.
[11:57] Osprey Therian: lol
[11:58] Valdora Grayson: Up until Salazar's disappearance, Adam and I had sold all of our remaining property on Earth as this became our home.
[11:59] Valdora Grayson: The only parcel we have left is a small warehouse in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood where we keep a portal.
[11:59] Lucy Tornado: ooo
[12:00] Valdora Grayson: And Adam and I now are in a position that we can't keep that warehouse anymore and be able to remain here.
[12:00] Valdora Grayson: So we are lookikng to sell it.
[12:00] Osprey Therian: yikes
[12:00] Lucy Tornado: Oh dear
[12:00] Valdora Grayson: And we think we may have a buyer.
[12:00] Osprey Therian: No more back and forthing.
[12:01] Valdora Grayson: Well, not so much.
[12:01] Valdora Grayson: I still have friends back there. But we would definitely have no more physical ties.
[12:01] Lucy Tornado: Is that good news for you Valdora?
[12:02] Marianne McCann: I was wonderinf the same. I'd s'pect a bit bittr sweet
[12:02] Valdora Grayson: Well, it's both good and bad.
[12:02] Lucy Tornado: Yes
[12:02] Lucy Tornado: Oh my I'm afraid I must get back
[12:02] Osprey Therian: bye lu!
[12:02] Marianne McCann: Have fun, Lucy
[12:02] Fenix Eldritch: Take care
[12:02] Valdora Grayson: Yes, Mari. Very bittersweet. This is my home, but not Adams..
[12:03] Tish: Nice meeting you Lucy
[12:03] Valdora Grayson: Oh! Goodbye Lucy.
[12:03] Valdora Grayson: Thank you so much for coming.
[12:03] Lucy Tornado: I will try to look for the horse. Nice meeting you too!
[12:03] Shigeko Tachikawa: goodbye Lucy
[12:03] Valdora Grayson: Thank you!
[12:03] Osprey Therian: I'm sorry that's necessary, but you have a great outlook.
[12:03] Valdora Grayson: Now where was I?
[12:04] Marianne McCannMarianne McCann nods
[12:04] Tish: in Seattle, selling your place
[12:04] Valdora Grayson: Oh! yes. Well, we are in talks with a dear old friend who has done business with Salazar over the years.
[12:04] Valdora Grayson: In fact they grew up together.
[12:05] Valdora Grayson: And he is interested in our warehouse.
[12:05] Valdora Grayson: If he agrees to buy it he will let us keep our portal there.
[12:05] Fenix Eldritch: That's good!
[12:05] Osprey Therian: oh good
[12:05] Valdora Grayson: Which will makes things easier if we need to return.
[12:06] Marianne McCann: That is better than it could be, f'r sure.
[12:06] Tish: oh splendid!
[12:06] Osprey Therian: How is the family doing?
[12:06] Valdora Grayson: And we will have enough to support us for a while here.
[12:06] Osprey Therian: All right, I hope.
[12:06] Valdora Grayson: Until we can come up with some other means of income.
[12:06] Valdora Grayson: It will make the transition much easier.
[12:06] Tish: overheating... have to log off, sorry
[12:06] Marianne McCann: Take care, Tish. Good t'see ya
[12:06] Valdora Grayson: Oh dear.
[12:06] Osprey Therian: bye tish
[12:07] Valdora Grayson: Take care Laetizia!
[12:07] Fenix Eldritch: uh oh
[12:07] Valdora Grayson: But I want to wait until the deed is done before we make any formal announcements.
[12:07] Marianne McCann: Makes sense
[12:08] Shigeko TachikawaShigeko Tachikawa nods
[12:08] Osprey Therian: How soon will you know?
[12:08] Valdora Grayson: He is very interested in helping us search for Salazar and wants to do anything he can to assist.
[12:09] Valdora Grayson: I will know more after our meeting today, Osprey.
[12:09] Valdora Grayson: When I can get back to talk with him and Adam more.
[12:09] Osprey Therian: I wish all the best for you.
[12:09] Valdora Grayson: Thank you!
[12:09] Marianne McCann: Likewise. All my best wishes
[12:10] Fenix EldritchFenix Eldritch nods
[12:10] Osprey Therian: Things are a bit strange all over these days.
[12:10] Valdora Grayson: And I'm very interested in all your thoughts as to how we proceed.
[12:10] Valdora Grayson: The future is very dark and fuzzy for us these days.
[12:11] Valdora Grayson: And I want to make sure that you are all as involved as you want to be.
[12:11] Fenix Eldritch: Was there any more info on that creature photographed?
[12:11] Valdora Grayson: I, and we all really, are open to any thoughts or ideas you have.
[12:11] Marianne McCann: I'll certainly do what I can t'help
[12:11] Valdora Grayson: No, Fenix, no further developments.
[12:11] Marianne McCann: But I'm not no stranger to dark and fuzzy stuff
[12:12] Osprey Therian: I wonder if there's a way to find places where the veil is thin between worlds.
[12:12] Valdora Grayson: But it has made my own mother and father, Elsia and Fraunklin Baysklef, very reluctant to engage more in the search.
[12:12] Valdora Grayson: Especially my mother.
[12:12] Valdora Grayson: They are very afraid of that creature.
[12:13] Valdora Grayson: How so, Osprey?
[12:13] Fenix Eldritch: I dunno why, but it reminds me of something outta the linden homes portals that Magellan discovered a while back
[12:14] Valdora Grayson: What reminds you of that, Fenix? The creature?
[12:14] Osprey Therian: Well, the point of the accident, the Brownstone East, and other spots seem to have portal-type capabilities.
[12:14] Fenix Eldritch: Yeah.
[12:14] Valdora GraysonValdora Grayson nods
[12:15] Valdora Grayson: I see what you mean, Osprey.
[12:15] Osprey Therian: we were going to trek to that stone ring.
[12:15] Valdora Grayson: There must be some sort of connection.
[12:15] Osprey Therian: I remember.
[12:15] Valdora Grayson: In Elderglen?
[12:15] Osprey Therian: yes
[12:15] Valdora Grayson: That's a good idea.
[12:15] Osprey Therian: Not today but one day let us go.
[12:15] Valdora Grayson: I'm sure Cessadia would be interested in studying that place too.
[12:15] Osprey Therian: By balloon perhaps.
[12:15] Valdora Grayson: Yes.
[12:16] Valdora Grayson: Oh, did I miss Marianne leaving?
[12:16] Fenix Eldritch: Did we lose mari?
[12:16] Shigeko Tachikawa: Welcome back, Mari.

[12:21] Valdora Grayson: And if you cannot reach him, Cessadia Thetan may be able to help you.
