to prepare for the cooking that comes later.

Gather Barn (#5450)
Above you is a large metal roof, almost like an umbrella or the ceiling of
a huge tent, and all around the sides are columns and wires holding it up.
And all around the outside, you see ...
A little lake at the feet of the Emerald Ridge. /\/
The lake is surrounded by big trees. /\/ t
The shadowed water looks a little greenish. /\/ : t t t
A small water fall is dropping from the /\/t : t t t
Emeral Ridge creating a spectacular Rainbow. /\/ t ~:~~~ t t
The lake shore is covered with grass. /\/ t ~~~~~~~~~ t t
There is clearing on the front beach, /\/ t ~~~~~~~~~~~ t t
big enough for a dragon to land. /\/ t t ~~~~~~~~~ t t
You can smell Orchids and Mint. / t t .................... t t
There are few stone chairs here. / t ....................
Beside the waterfall is a shadowy
path leading into darkness.
You notice Hold Table and Refreshment Table in the Gather Barn.
Dale is in the Gather Barn.
Stanbogan calls across to Dale. "Hello! The shed looks great, thank you!
Dale nods and smiles looking over his work once more before everyone
arrives, "Thank you Sta and I tried. I hope everyone likes it and I will
do anything else needed. Please just give me a yell when I am needed."
Stanbogan starts arranging things on the hold table as she responds.
"Thank you for the offer." Sta smiles. "Are any of the smith's going to
be selling things here today?"
Dale shrugs a little thinking to himself, "Well Sta I am unsure if any
will be here or not? I must be returning to the hall and I hope to get
back today if possible. If I can't I am sorry and will visit sometime!"
Stanbogan smiles softly toward the craftmaster who has already done so
much to help. "I certainly understand, and I appreciate with all my heart
the help you have already been, Dale."
Dale walks out.
Outside the Gather Barn, Trau walks in from the Farm Yard.
Outside the Gather Barn, Trau says, "Hi."

look Carved table
Carved Table (#10634)
An aged table of stained and finished hardwood stands on legs carved in
the liknesses of dragons, their lifted heads supporting the top, and
tails wrapping about the base for support. Folded wings have been
meticulously detailed to the point that the individual bone flanges are
visible. The wide table top is a relief of a picture; An imaginary weyr
bowl, filled with dragons in flight and repose, Firelizards of every
color swirling in fairs, and Dragon riders in various stages of
preparation, from riding clothes to formal wear, details right down to
the shoulder knots, even casual and bathing with their dragons. The
surface is smooth from layers upon layers of varnish, but the beauty of
the wood is unhindered by the crystal-clear finish.
The table is empty.
Trau says, "Greetings all."
Stanbogan looks up still smiling, "How do you do? Welcome to Grinstead!"
Anjy stands straight and looks around giving everyone a greeting smile,
"Hello" and nods her head while looking closely in the barn, ok
everything's ready, right?
Boric beams at Trau and Stanbogan, "Hello." Simple true, but still
effective. Boric's smile broadens as he spies Cedar, "Hello there,
Cedar."
Cedar smiles briefly, looking around before focusing on the others with a
nod of greeting. "G'day." Short greeting, but friendly. Her smile
lightens up as she spots Boric. Ah, someone familiar. "'Ello, Boric."
Trau is proud to say he knows no one here.
Trau is not proud to say it's cuz he's a newb.
Stanbogan looks directly toward Anjy. "I guess the crafters are having
some trouble getting here." Then she adds to no one inparticular, "I
wonder what could be wrong?"
Trau thinks there could be some weird delay...
Outside the Gather Barn, Mirella walks with a slight limp in from the Farm
Yard.
Mirella steps under the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Mirella steps under the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Anjy looks over at Stanborgan and shrugs "they will be here in a while,
main while..." takes a looks over the room and offers "can we offer you
anything?" if better they will eat before swimming, or the other way
around, up to them.
Mirella smiles at all present as she enters the Gather area, "Boric,
Rowainne was looking for you before I left to come here. She wanted to
make sure you got her gift."
Stanbogan snaps her fingers then goes toward the refreshment table and
places a sign that says: 'Free food! - Help yourself.'
Boric blinks and tries to hide his feet in the dust, "Um, yes Master
Mirella. I did. I just didn't get a chance to thank her for it."
Mirella chuckles softly as she heads over to the refreshment table. "I
will tell her you said thank you."
Anjy heads a welcoming nod over Mirella as she after Stanbogan, "shouldn't
we serve them first?" Heh maybe so. she also invited her old friend
Katrine to join, but she won't get there in a while, so she herself gets
the time to get realy
Cedar belatedly nods a greeting to Mirella, edging over to the refreshment
table as well. After surveying the items, she simply pours herself some
cider and heads over to Boric. "Having fun yet?" she teases, taking a sip
of her drink.
Trau says, ""Mmmm...food.""
Mirella takes a plate and helps herself to some of the food on the table,
then looks around for a place to sit. "Cedar, I would just like to remind
you that 'prentices to the dolphincraft are not allowed to drink," she
calls out after having found a place to sit.
Trau starts gobbling hungrily.
Hold Table (#10615)
A simple wooden table.
On the table are Wooden Wherry, Furrbee, Out-Of-Fashion Pants, His & Hers
Shirts, and Insta-Mullet.
Boric chuckles as he walks over to the refreshment table and gathers some
food and some fruitjuice. Boric looks around before returning to stand
next to Cedar, "Not yet, but the Gather's only just begun." He winks at
Cedar and then flushes a deep crimson.
Outside the Gather Barn, Rowainne walks in from the Farm Yard.
Rowainne steps under the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Rowainne steps under the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Cedar grumbles softly, setting down the cider for now. "Yes, ma'am," she
replies with an exaggerated sigh, then grins at Mirella to show she's not
/really/ annoyed. Daring, isn't she? She winks back at Boric, trying not
to giggle as he flushes.
Stanbogan picks up the book from the hold table and thumbs through it
before putting it down. "Don't forget that the lake is beautiful this
time of year, and my office is empty if anyone feels shy about changing
out here!"
Trau stands in the corner, aloof and intimidated.
**You notice Hold Table, Refreshment Table, and Carved Table in the Gather
Barn.
Anjy, Trau, Cedar, Boric, Mirella, and Rowainne are in the Gather Barn.
Boric casts a nervous look at Stanbogan, and mutters something about
passing thanks while taking a small step away from the lake.
Rowainne looks around then smiles as she spies Boric, then shakes her head
as he steps away from the lake. Poor dear, must be hard for him to live
right next to the water like he does.
Cedar pats Boric on the back, smiling. "I take it you won't be swimming
today, hm?" she drawls, running a hand through her hair and nodding a
greeting to Rowainne.
Boric almost squeeks at that thought, "D-do I have to?" Not scared is he?
Rowainne goes home.
Trau falls asleep sitting up in a chair.
Stanbogan leans toward Anjy and half-whispers, "That is a beautiful table!
Is that the piece that you are trying to sell?
Trau wakes, blinks slowly, and then stands, only to fall flat on his face.
Trau says, "Darn leg! Fell asleep again!"
:turns to look. "Are you having difficulties?"

-----
Stanbogan looks toward the taveler. "Are you having difficulties; can I
help?" (repose)
Trau asks if Stanbogan is talking to him?
Stanbogan nods briefly. "you did say something about your foot ...
hurting?"
Trau says, "My leg fell asleep, that's all. I guess I shouldn't sleep in
chairs anymore."
Cedar goes home.
Stanbogan looks up and down the aisle of the gather barn. Sir traveler. I
am sorry to say that we are so quiet today that you fell asleep. By the
by, I am Stanbogan, headwoman at Grinstead. And you are?

Outside the Gather Barn, Natch steps under the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Natch arrives.
Trau bows politely. "Just a curious traveler come to explore. I'm still
seeking a trade to pursue."
Mykharei pages, "I take it in the Gather Barn is where the action is?"
Outside the Gather Barn, Shimmer walks in brightly, and glances around
curiously, waving brightly at no one in particular. She bounces over
towards a stone chair after ducking quickly into the Gather Barn and
rescuing a mug of cider, she flounces back over to the chair and curls
her legs beneath her, content to watch for now...
Stanbogan stops what she is doing to make a hearty gesture of welcome
(even recognizable from a distance) to Natch as she turns to the
traveler, "Ahh, do you seek a craft or a postition at a hold?"
Natch greets Stanbogan with a wave of her crop then turns to go take care
of something outside.
Mykharei steps under the protective cover of the Gather Barn.

Outside the Gather Barn, Natch makes her way in from the Farm Yard.
Natch steps under the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Natch steps under the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Natch re arrives and heads straight for Stanbogan. "STEWARD!"
Outside the Gather Barn, Cedar stretches, then pops back into the Gather
Barn to some cider. A quick glance around, and then she steps back out,
waving at Shim and heading over. "Shiiim. Am I glad to see you." She
lowers her voice, whispering, "I feel weird around here. Not many
people." A sage nod, and then she flops - on the ground.
Stanbogan laughs as she bows to her former holder. "Just head woman these
days Holder Natch. Welcome to Grinstead!
Natch heh's at her former Steward. "You'll always be deserving of the
title! We all miss you, you know. Where's the wine?" she blurts out.
Outside the Gather Barn, Shimmer peers down at Cedar before giggling
softly, muffling the giggles by taking a sip of cider before nodding back
wisely, "Look over there, though. Always fun to watch the natives at
these things...especially if you don't know many of them." Yes, Shim is
in a slightly non-social mood to-day, otherwise she'd be boinging around
over there, introducing herself and questioning them endlessly about what
they do and where they're from. She grins at Cedar before lifting her mug
of cider, "They do make good cider around here...and the lake
is...interesting." Note the nice...greenness of it. Quite exciting.
Trau walks to the refreshment table and pours some cider, takes a deep
swig, and refills his cup before sitting down again.
Outside the Gather Barn, Cedar giggles helplessly, taking a gulp of her
cider and promptly choking. Choke. Cough. Wheeze. "Yeah. Definitely." A
bit of throat clearing, and she drinks some more cider - a /sip/ this
time. "Interesting is one way to put it," she drawls in agreement.
Stanbogan points to the cider table with the snack tray and cake.
"Unfortunately, Natch, my refreshment table helper was detained. So, it
is basically a help yourself situation." And Sta shrugs. "Unfortunately
(also) our shipment of wines from Tillek did not arrive. It seems a bit
unusual, but these things do happen."
Natch heh's "Tillek? Is that what you are reduced to serving?" she asks as
she passes Stanbogan and rumages through the bottles. "Well at least you
have some of my cider," she nods and pours. "Something to whet the
whistle. Have you heard anything about the waystation? I was thinking of
stopping there on the way home."
Outside the Gather Barn, Shimmer grins at Cedar and makes a move to smack
her back for her, before the girl manages to get herself under control.
Right then. Shim takes a similar sip of her own cider before nodding
slowly. "Lakes are exciting...but I don't believe I've ever seen one
quite this colour."
Barely awake and trudging along her way, Mykharei manages under the Gather
Barn's shelter, attempting to stifle a yawn. "Good Faranth, I'm beat
today!" she says to herself, heading over to the refreshment table
following Trau's example. The cider is frowned at slightly. "Is this
stuff any good?" she asks aloud as she pours herself a very small helping
and eyes the liquid warily. "I've never had cider before," she notes. The
cider is lifted to her nose for a smell-test and she wrinkles her nose
up. "I guess it ... can't .. hurt to try."
Outside the Gather Barn, Cedar nods sagely, stretching and sneezing.
Stuuupid allergies. Right. "Yes, it's...um...rather pretty. Although I
wouldn't personally swim in it." She says that last sentence in a low
whisper, accompanied by a wink.
Stanbogan shakes her head. "I believe that my messanger did talk withg
Hukian when he brought my order for cider, but I haven't really heard
anything more about the way station since we discovered that old ruin
during that ... odd picnic. As for the Tillek part, I contacted a vintner
and was told that Gar's winery was closing. I'll admit to suprise, but
things do happen, I guess."\
Trau walks back to the refreshment table and bows to Mykharei, and says
"Hello.
Outside the Gather Barn, Gahn walks in from the Farm Yard.
Natch mmm's and nods sadly "With the decrease in their ranks," she
references the tragedy as gently as she can, "It was thought best, for
now. I do still keep the orchards going, but they aren't tended as well.
One day perhaps we'll open up the hold to vintners again," she sighs and
sips and looks around for a place to rest her weary self. "What have you
got going here? NOt a gather with this few to attend, surely!"
Outside the Gather Barn, Gahn smiles at Shimmer, "Hello Shimmer, having a
good day today?" He looks over at Cedar, "Hello, my name is Gahn, who
might you be miss?" He looks up as he hears Natch talking.
Outside the Gather Barn, Cedar doesn't even bother standing, beaming a
smile up at Gahn. "G'day, Gahn. I'm Cedar. Nice to meet you." She takes
another sip of her cider, /without/ choking this time, mind you.
Mykharei goes home.
Stanbogan laughs at that. "Well, I did fly the gather flag in hopes of
attracting any one in the area, but mostly we are trying to get rid of
the hold junk that has accumulated in storage. I was thinking that things
peopole had stored might just be useful to /someone/."
Outside the Gather Barn, Shimmer giggles at Cedar, azure eyes twinkling
wryly before she blinks. "Why, hello Gahn!" she pats a stone chair next
to her and grins brightly. "Haven't chatted with you in a while. This'
Cedar, she's new to the 'phincraft. Cedar, this is Gahn, a guard appy."
Shim trails off with a shrug. "Darn it. I'm always late with my
introductions." she mutters before taking a slow sip of her cider,
glancing at Cedar who seems to still be sprawled on the ground...
Natch hrm's and sits on the edge of a table. "SO what did you find in the
dark recesses of the hold?" she asks, truly curious.
Outside the Gather Barn, Gahn smiles at Shimmer and sits down next to her,
"Aw don't worry about it Shimmer, so what." "You did tell her that I was
a guard appy, that was something that she didn't know." "See your
introduction wasn't wasted", He says with a smile.
Trau walks over to a table and lays down, yawning heavily.
Outside the Gather Barn, Adelaide strolls in from the Farm Yard.
Outside the Gather Barn, [OOC:] Shimmer squeaks. An Adelaide! Pounce!
Outside the Gather Barn, [OOC:] Adelaide is pounced. I've been Shimmered!
:)
Trau rolls over, and accidentaly falls off the table.
Stanbogan looks down at the table that she 'mans' then points out the
book to Natch. "Well, any one need a joke book on why not to get
handfasted?" She chuckles. Then she stops and points to the table that
Anjy brought. "Now, there is an item that I would have to think long and
hard before selling."
Trau gets up and facepalms.
Outside the Gather Barn, Cedar coughs to conceal laughter, stretching and
switching positions - so now she's on her back. Well, she /is/
comfortable...and who ever said she had to sit in a chair? She looks Gahn
up and down, then glances at Shim. "So..anyway.."
Outside the Gather Barn, Shimmer laughs before nodding softly at Gahn then
looking at the sky and jumping out of the chair. "My goodness, look at
the time. We'd probably better get back to the 'hall, Cedar, we'll miss
to-day's class. Heard it was going to be a swimming one..." she grins
before waving at Gahn and noting, "I'll catch up with you later!" Shim
flounces out of the area before beginning a dead run. Three classes left
to go, and she won't miss one of the ones she needs!
Outside the Gather Barn, Shimmer goes home.
Trau steps outside the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Trau steps outside the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Upon making her way through a small, rather
Outside the Gather Barn, Cedar scrambles up as well. "Class? Oh, dear."
She glances around, then grins at Gahn. "It was nice meeting you, Gahn. I
hope to see you around again." Then, she takes off after Shim at a
sprint. She /can't/ miss her first class.
Outside the Gather Barn, Cedar goes home.
Natch ah's at Stan, picking up the book and riffling through the pages. "I
might add a chapter or two," she sighs and trades the book for her cider
glass again. She watches Trua, just shaking her head and not commenting
before turning back to Stanbogan. "I wonder if we need to do this at
Gar.." she trails off and then looks around. "Anything actually useful?"
Outside the Gather Barn, Gahn looks at the time as well, "Well I should be
heading out as well, get back to my training you know."
Outside the Gather Barn, Gahn goes home.
Trau steps under the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Trau steps under the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Adelaide walks out.
Trau steps outside the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Trau steps outside the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Trau walks out.
Stanbogan shakes her head at the thought. "Actually, I not found any
spare farm equiptment or things of that sort." Sta's eyes show that some
mischief may had originally been intended, but the farmers are fairly
good a using every scrap piece that they have." Then she pauses over one
item, "Know any one who needs his and her unics?"
[OOC:] Stanbogan says "s/unics/tunics ... oops!"
Natch sighs and shakes her heads. "First I need a 'his' to need at tunic
for." She teasingly looks under the tables. "Got any of those hidden
around? I don't want one that's too new, though."
Stanbogan looks through the fairly bare shed. "It does seem that a lack
of opposites seems standard." Sta sighs. "So, any good news from Gar?"
Outside the Gather Barn, Yuvi walks in.
Yuvi steps under the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Yuvi steps under the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Natch takes up her perch on the edge of the table again. "Just the same
old thing turn after turn. You?" She spots Yuvi and makes herself known
"HOLDER!" she beams and approaches with outstretched arms for a hug. A
little Gar Cider is a dangerous thing.
Yuvi waves to the ladies in the Gather Barn, and to Anjy too...
Stanbogan whispers to Natch, "Well, speak of our better halves, and one
appears." Then aloud, while making a broad gesture, "Holder Yuvi.
Welcome! I am overjoyed that you were not detained throughout the entire
day."
Yuvi says, "A farmer's work never ends, you know...."
Natch is delighted, to and hugs Yuvi very closely "Your headwoman, the one
you stole from me, Dear Yuvi, has been entertaining me nicely," she
hiccoughs.
Outside the Gather Barn, Rajanigandha walks in from the Farm Yard.
Rajanigandha steps under the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Rajanigandha steps under the protective cover of
the Gather Barn.
Yuvi smiles. "This is what I pay her for.
"And it is a beautiful morning for the planting." Sta keeps a discreet
distance. "It is certainly a busily working hold. I don't even think that
they noted the gather flag."
Natch harumphs at Yuvi. "She's worth more," she says as she takes up her
spot sitting on the table's edge again. "I've been to the Smith Hall,"
She says in a complete change of subject. "I'm not so sure this new
craftmaster is going to meet Evan's standards."
Xinea gracefully glides to the Lake.
Outside the Gather Barn, Xinea gracefully glides in from the Farm Yard.
Outside the Gather Barn, Xinea drops Tusce's lead to the ground.
Xinea steps under the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Xinea steps under the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Yuvi says, "Don't warry. After some adjustment time everything will be OK.
It is like during Search: The Weyr is full with people we were sure no
one can replace. But they were searched, and we found new ones, and after
short time things got back to normal."
Stanbogan's brows seem to knit above her eyes at the news from Natch.
"Master Dale has been so busy working on our gather shelter that he
failed to mention any 'craft' gossip. What is the general situation, and
should we be worried about supply from that quarter?
Xinea dismounts from her runner and moves him off the to the side to munch
on some grass as after taking off his bridle and tying it across the
saddle. She then walks towards the crowd under the metal roof, waving to
the few people that she knows. She tucks a blond hair back into her
braid and looks around to see if she can find the drink table.
Outside the Gather Barn, Bujold suddenly disappears ::between::!
Outside the Gather Barn, Tusce walks to the Gardens.
Natch tsks and shakes her head. "Craftmaster Cera assures me all is well,
but I never have _seen_ such behavior. Rudness. Skipping chores. I'd be
surprised if anyone was doing _anything_ useful." But then, Natch doesn't
deal with apprentices much, does she?
Anjy waves shortly at Xinea and sticks her head beack to her usual wonder,
are they going to swim already? it seems like most people are planning to
stay in the barn without the rest of the fine plans Stan had. "Stan..."
she stands up and walks over, "can we go to swim now?"
Rajanigandha parts couple with a bluerider who appears eager to join a
group of other young men outside the barn. She turns and makes her way,
smiling and nodding, beneath the barn's protective cover. Now to find a
drink... Her eyes search between the crowds and couples for a glimpse of
table.
Stanbogan turns away from discussing crafts with the holders. "Anjy, of
course you can swim! I had hoped that people would avail themselves of
whatever relaxiation they prefered today. It /has/ been a long turn!"
Xinea manages to find the table with at least a pitcher of warm klah and
pours herself a cup. She finds an empty seat at a table and just watches
the gather. Not many people that she knows here, but she can relax for a
bit.
Aodhan> Ceridwin comes out through the Hold doors.
Ceridwin walks to the Lake.
Outside the Gather Barn, Ceridwin walks in from the Farm Yard.
Ceridwin steps under the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Ceridwin steps under the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
her head in her mug and sips it slowly, guessing she can't do
anything else but to listen ah. "no fun swiming alone... I was hoping you
could join me" yeah that would help. "Hey wanna swim?" Anjy offers Xinea
and Rajanigandha as she wanders around the barn. trying to drag holders
into the lake wouldn't be too bright, would it?
Nieve walks in.
Nieve saunters to the Lake.
Outside the Gather Barn, Nieve saunters in from the Farm Yard.
Nieve steps under the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Nieve steps under the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Rajanigandha peers at Anjy for a moment and shrugs her shoulders, "I
can't." What?! A girl that can't swim! That's right folks. She smiles
an apology and ambles off toward the drinks table. Much as she likes the
water... she just doesn't float.
Natch slips from the edge of the table and starts wandering the barn,
looking for useful things.
Yuvi takes a chair and drags it to the place where the wind from the
window is stronger. "You kids can go and get wet"
Natch steps outside the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Natch steps outside the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Natch makes her way to the Shadowy Path.
Outside the Gather Barn, Natch makes her way in from the Mill Road.
Outside the Gather Barn, Natch makes her way to the Farm.
Natch makes her way in from the Green Lake.
Natch swings up onto Cider's back.
Cider walks to the Paved Road.
Xinea shrugs slightly and looks outside the barn to where Tusce is still
munching. "I suppose I could for a while. I have to be back at the hall
later though since I have a class to teach tomorrow just after sunrise."
Anjy lifts an eyebrow and sighs. she will never drag anyone for a swim.
"are you sure?" well it does worth trying, there isn't much she could do
but listen to the chat if no one is up for going to the lake. "Come!"
she notes Xinea and smirks at her father. "kay I'm out..." beam. "I hope
you could change your mind" nods over Rajni as she walks out to the lake
Anjy steps outside the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Anjy steps outside the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Stanbogan nods her agreement with Yuvi. "It is still a little while
before the drudges bring out the bovine for roasting, and it is
warming-up nicely.")
Xinea nods and gets up, taking her mug with her to head for the lake.
Xinea steps outside the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Xinea steps outside the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Anjy walks near the water and takes her shoes
out, she doesn't have her swimmingsuit with her, but her cloths will
probably dry quickly with this heat after she will go out of the water.
"come!" Anjy grins and runs into the water taking a short look back in
the barn, grownups! will they ever learn to have fun?
Outside the Gather Barn, Xinea sits down to take her boots off and places
them near the side of the lake before she too wanders out into the water,
still clothed. The water is cool on a hot day and she sighs. "It's nice
in here..." She comments idly.
Outside the Gather Barn, Anjy looks back at Xinea and nods shyly. she
herself who was born in Grinstead is used the heat, and doesn't get
bothered by it, nor cool winter that fits her perfectly. "yup, well
better than hot water I guess." quick beam over as she goes deeper into
the water, flits dunno what there're missing.
Rajanigandha stares at the pair of silly girls soaking in their clothes.
A glance down at her customary gown and a shake of her head is given.
She'd never dream of getting wet! Ahh well.. the water certainly isn't
where the fun is! Now that man standing in the group over there... Hrm..
Katrine walks in.
Katrine walks quietly to the Lake.
Outside the Gather Barn, Katrine walks quietly in from the Farm Yard.
Outside the Gather Barn, Xinea goes deeper into the water until she is up
to her shoulders, but still standing. Does she really want to go out
further, not really. She'll just stand here and enjoy the water. "True,
it is better than hot water."
Outside the Gather Barn, Anjy splashes her face gently to get a bit
cooler, "Hey Katri!!" a huge beam takes over Anjy as she waves Katrine
with a hop. finally! she should of been her hours ago... "where are you
from?" clearly her memory isn't how it used to be, adding to the fact she
ran into Xinea a while ago. "come here!" sure Katrine wouldn't, but it
doesn't seem like Anjy is asking. shr runs out of the water and grabs her
hand, waiting to lead her inside.
You pick up Furrbee from Hold Table.
Stanbogan places the winning ribbon on the Furrbee.
Boric steps outside the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Boric steps outside the protective cover of the
Outside the Gather Barn, Katrine laughs as she's forcefully dragged into
the water. "Hey Anjy, I'm coming, I'm not going to run away, you know.."
laughing as her hand is grasped before raising her head to grin at the
cheeky youngling. "Sorry I'm late but they needed me at the Hall." yes
healers are never off duty.
You set The Real Man's Guide to Handfasting down on Hold Table.
Outside the Gather Barn, Boric walks in chattering about nothing much
really. to the Farm.
Outside the Gather Barn, Anjy yups, sure what ever she said. "Ok nevermind
that" and when after she leads Katrine fully in the water, she lets go of
her hand and starts to hop around like a young bratling, who she still
is. "if you're hungry you can go in the barn, Stan has fun stuff in
there" Anjy dives in the water and turns over to get a look at everyone
as she's having a blast. "once again, I must ask.. when are you planning
to handfast?" it seems like everybody forgot about the whole thing!
Outside the Gather Barn, Katrine grimaces slightly as the water seeps
through her clothes. "You could have of least let me change into my
swimsuit first Anjy." Shakes her head, but the twinkle in her eyes shows
she's not too upset. Cupping her hands she splashes water onto her face
before answering Anjy's question. "I'm not sure, both Theorn and I have
been so busy recently, we've not had time to make any plans."
Mirella steps outside the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Mirella steps outside the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Mirella walks with a slight limp to the Farm.
Outside the Gather Barn, Of course Theorn will be busy, why wouldn't he?
"I do hope you will rush up a little, he asked you long ago..." Anjy hops
into the water and starts to swim around Katrine. the lake is really fun
on times like this. Ok relax a little, she pops out of the water and
takes deep breathes slowly, smirking along as she splashes innocently
over at Xinea and Katrine, should I duck? they wouldn't... would they?
Outside the Gather Barn, Katrine giggles as cool water splashes over her
face. "Why you little..." she turn quickly in the water and sends a wave
of water over in Anjy's direction. "I promise you we will try...but it's
hard to find the time." The smile lingering on her face as she waits to
see what the girl will do next.
Anjy ducks quickly and growls at herself: I should of ducked! Heh
but at least I was ready. "You know, you should really poke him to go on
faster, I can even help if needed..." her faces goes back to the usual
state of the grownup she usually is, but just when she finishes to talk
she plashes as much as she can over Katrine's way, Ok... now you should
duck! duck! Ok that would help... Anjy hops into the water and starts to
dive in... run for your life.
Outside the Gather Barn, Katrine sees the wave of water coming and quickly
tries to turn out of the way but some of it still splashes her. "Right
you're in......" she breaks off realizing she's talking to thin air as
Anjy seems to have disappeared. Treading water for the moment, she waits
until the girl resurfaces. After all she has to come up for water some
time.
Outside the Gather Barn, Cadgwith crashes resplendently in from the Farm
Yard.
Outside the Gather Barn, Two burly drudges appear with the prepared bovine
and attach it to the rotisserie in the roasting pit.
Outside the Gather Barn, Clinging to the crags of Cadgwith's neck, Raeyen
simply sits there, then blinks. "Um. Well. That was...fast?" Only word to
describe it, really. "I thank you again for the ride," she adds, with a
grateful smile.
Outside the Gather Barn, Pyrene carefully descends the cliff of Cadgwith's
shoulder and foreleg until she's safely on land again.
Outside the Gather Barn, Anjy might be a crazy brat, but she isn't
planning to get splashed... she can't hold her breath for much longer
though... she swims under and sees Katrine's legs, but wouldn't... she
simply tickles her over and goes up for as quick breath, as she tries to
cover her face as much as doable, still trying to splash at the same
time. when after she plans her next attack, she hums, dives into the
water and swims using her legs only, hands prepared to splash with
Katrine's attack on her, she had it coming...
Aodhan> Roasting Pit
Aodhan> A stone roasting pit, with a metal grate to keep sparks from
flying out and catching things on fire. A drudge turns the crank as a
bovine cooks slowly on the fire.
Outside the Gather Barn, Aodhan gazes quietly into the roasting pit.
Outside the Gather Barn, Raeyen carefully descends the cliff of Cadgwith's
shoulder and foreleg until she's safely on land again.
Outside the Gather Barn, Katrine has disconnected.
Outside the Gather Barn, Pyrene unstraps herself quickly, sliding down
with the ease of practice and lending a hand as needed to Raeyen. "Don't
mention it," she tells the girl, eyes following the progress of the
bovine. Cadge whuffles noisily. Straps off first, /then/ food. "You get
on and enjoy yourself," Pyrene tells Raeyen as she obeys her dragon.
"Save me a drink!"
@party
The market is closed, but the swimming is active and the bovine is
roasting at Grinstead (@go grinstead, lake)!
-- entered by Stanbogan on 2002-07-28 15:58 MOO Time. (7 seconds)
Outside the Gather Barn, Anjy waves over the others who just got in and
keeps her eyes marked on Katrine, she's going to get splashed... so it
seems. "Hey! food and drinks inside the barn" Anjy smiles and then sticks
her head in the water while she throws her hair to the back. what are
they heading to now?
Outside the Gather Barn, Aodhan suddenly disappears ::between::!
Outside the Gather Barn, Raeyen smiles and nods, then focuses on Cadge.
"Thank you, too," she adds with a wink, heading towards the Gather Barn
to grab a drink. A glance is thrown the bovine's way, and she grins
faintly. That..looks good. Yes.
Outside the Gather Barn, The housekeeper arrives to cart Katrine off to
bed.
Raeyen steps under the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Raeyen steps under the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
Yuvi goes home.
Outside the Gather Barn, Cadgwith shudders out of her straps as quickly as
possible and starts heading for the water, with Pyrene yelling after her:
"Remember, the people here aren't so used to bathing with dragons! Don't
drown anybody!" Warning duly given, the rider abandons any swimmers to
fend for themselves and follows her nose into the gather barn.
Pyrene steps under the protective cover of the Gather Barn.
Outside the Gather Barn, Pyrene steps under the protective cover of the
Gather Barn.
You take Hold Table.
Raeyen shuffles straight to the refreshment table, pouring herself a mug
of cider and moving out of the way to sip her contently.
Outside the Gather Barn, Anjy takes long look over Cadgwith and
headshakes, heads over a smile as she keeps on swimming around taking
over the beach where she had left her klah. she swims out slowly and sits
on the sand while looking at the gold, it has been a while since she saw
a dragon around the lake.
Stanbogan gathers up the items to return to the storage closet, but
smiles graciously as she points to the refreshments. "Just help
yourselves!" she calls as she heads for the hold.
