  • Aidan is at Aberystwyth to... borrow some sheet music, maybe.
  • Aidan wishes his grandmother would patronize the arts... she has a great venue for hosting concerts. But, anyway. It's her home.

<Isabel> (She probably *does*) <Isabel> (She isn;t antisocial like Janus :D) <Aidan> (I've asked about it before!) <Aidan> (Aidan is an amazing concert pianist and could really use some exposure.) <Isabel> (I have a memory like a sieve :) <Elanya> (I'm getting my second wind) <Isabel> (Voltaire will do that :D) <Isabel> (I remember you asking about him doing something *with* her...) <Isabel> (oh well) <Aidan> (No not with Diamond!) <Aidan> (He would never expect *her* to play in something vulgar like a concert.  ;^D) <Aidan> (I used to joke about the Gwydaine family singers, though... that I did.) <Aidan> (But it was just a joke...  :^o ) <Isabel> (we doin' something here?) <Aidan> (I thought I'd try... Aidan's the only person I have who could be at Aberystwyth and not annoy Isabel) <Isabel> (I don't care if you annoy her) <Isabel> (If she leaves I have plenty of other people to play.) <Isabel> (Play who you want)

  • Aidan whistles to himself as he makes his way down the hall.

<Isabel> (I often play character *to* annoy people :D)

      • Elanya is now known as Kolya

<Isabel> (*couGH*Soleil*cough*) <Aidan> (Evil)

      • Kolya is now known as Hadyn
  • Hadyn ic's exia in rpotest! ;D

<Isabel> (mostly annoying. ;)

      • Hadyn is now known as Kolya
  • Aidan wonders how Kolya is doing.
  • Aidan asks a passing Boggan.

<Aidan> (how's Kolya? ^-^)

  • Aidan wishes the weather was nicer; it's too cold to be in the gardens.

<Kolya> (more social these days, I suppose, still a bit under the weather. It's the headaches, you see) <Aidan> (yes)

  • Aidan doesn't know Kolya all that well but Kolya has always been nice to him.
  • Aidan wonders if he ought to visit Kolya.

<Aidan> (Tally has been visiting. ^-^)

  • Aidan decides he might as well.
  • Aidan heads towards Kolya's quarters.
  • Kolya will be there, conveniently enough ;)
  • Aidan taptaps on Kolya's door.

<Kolya> Hello? <Aidan> Hello... It's Aidan. May I come in? <Kolya> oh, hey... come on in...

  • Aidan enters.

<Aidan> Hi...

  • Aidan smiles.

<Aidan> I was here... thought I'd drop in to see you...

  • Aidan explains.
      • Max has joined #changeling
      • ChanServ sets mode: +o Max
  • Aidan suddenly wonders what he's doing.
  • Kolya looks up and smiles

<Aidan> How are you doing?

  • Kolya is sitting in a comfy looking chair by the window, and there is a book on the table beside him

<Kolya> I'm doing alright, I guess...

  • Aidan nods.

<Aidan> Glad to hear it... <Kolya> thanks. <Aidan> Tally told me you were all right, but it's always best to hear that from the horse's mouth, rather than the fox's. <Aidan> I suppose the boggans are doting on you...

  • Aidan smiles.

<Kolya> the boggans... well, everyone, really...

  • Kolya sighs

<Kolya> it's kind of disconcerting

  • Aidan nods.
      • Max has quit IRC (Quit: )

<Aidan> I understand. <Aidan> I'll try not to dote. <Kolya> The countess is concerned, so some people seem to think they are supposed to be too :p <Kolya> heh <Kolya> thanks :) <Isabel> Whoooooo wants sticky buns? :D <Kolya> There were a couple of Sidhe in here the other day who I'd never even met

  • Isabel flounces through the not-quite-closed doot

<Kolya> they brought me a fruit basket o-O <Isabel> (door)

  • Kolya looks up

<Aidan> Really - <Aidan> Oh, hello Lady Isabel.

  • Isabel has basket, no fruit

<Kolya> hey Is :)

  • Aidan bows slightly towards his cousin.

<Isabel> *bounce*

  • Aidan looks dapper as always in his 18th C clothes. ;^D
  • Isabel skips upo and sets the basket down beside the book. It is, in fact, filled with boggan-fresh baked goods :)

<Aidan> ...

  • Aidan inhales the delightful aromas.

<Aidan> Mmmm... <Aidan> You're going to put on pounds, Kolya. <Kolya> heh, yeah...

      • Max has joined #changeling
      • ChanServ sets mode: +o Max

<Kolya> the boggans won't think I'm getting better otherwise, I think :o

  • Kolya rubs his eyes
  • Isabel is wearing a pale, gauzy mint green top under a long red brocade coat that keeps sliding off one shoulder, and cream coloured leather leggings. :D
  • Aidan grins. He doesn't usually grin - too self-conscious about his scary pointy nocker teeth.

<Kolya> . o O ( then again... I'm not. Not in the important way )

  • Isabel has on some lovely ruby earrings as well, it looks like they're just dripping off her ears.

<Isabel> I don't think it's possible for Kolya to get fat.

  • Isabel pokes him in the belly.

<Isabel> He's so lucky! <Aidan> . o O (I wish I had a boy to poke in the belly.) <Isabel> (you can poke Kolya :D) <Aidan> (that sounds pretty bad, actually... he means a mature person, of course!  :^o) <Kolya> heh <Kolya> (*snick*) <Isabel> I'm gonna eat one anyway though :D <Aidan> (Can't have Colin's rumours prove to be true!)

  • Isabel snatches one up and breaks it apart.

<Kolya> go ahead... <Kolya> you to, Aidan.

  • Aidan smiles shyly.

<Isabel> thnk yM! <Aidan> Er, thanks.

  • Isabel says with her mouth full.
  • Aidan takes a nice sticky bun.

<Kolya> Thank god for visirors, otherwise you woudln't be able to get me out of this room with a forklift in another week :o

  • Aidan eats.
  • Isabel flips her hair.
  • Isabel looks especially pretty today, for some reason.

<Aidan> I'm sure Tally would be more than willing ro coach you through a rigorous athletic program... <Isabel> Oh, poop on Tally. <Aidan> I'd rather not, thank you...

  • Aidan smiles.

<Isabel> Kolya doesn't have to do any silly 'programs'. <Isabel> He just needs to rest. <Aidan> You look especially lovely today, cousin. A special occasion? <Isabel> hm?

  • Isabel takes a bite of bun and shakes her head...

<Isabel> Not that I know of...

  • Kolya smiles

<Aidan> Well, who needs one, after all...

  • Kolya looks like, if anything, he may have lost weight
  • Aidan smiles.
  • Aidan unwinds his cinnamon bun like Janus does.
  • Isabel looks out the window to see if maybe she can see a boat out in the harbour.

<Isabel> Wonder if 'Lys and Andrea are around! :D <Aidan> Oh - are they expected? <Kolya> Andrea was here the other day <Isabel> Expected? <Aidan> I don't believe I've met them yet, but I've been hearing about them. <Isabel> Um, well... I guess not <Isabel> That doesn't mean they aren't coming though. <Isabel> :) <Isabel> You *have* to meet them... <Isabel> They're *sooo* much fuN!

  • Aidan smiles.

<Aidan> I'm not sure it would work... I'm told I'm quite tedious. <Isabel> If you can be tedious arounf them, well, you really are hopeless... <Isabel> But I don't believe it's possible <Kolya> yeah, I'm with Is on that one <Kolya> they're *satyrs* <Kolya> They are the antithesis of tedious

  • Aidan smiles self-consciously.

<Aidan> Well, perhaps. <Aidan> Have you been speaking with Rach lately, Isabel? <Isabel> I wrote her a letter! <Isabel> Well two. <Isabel> But she's only answered the first one so far :) <Kolya> how is she doing? <Aidan> All right, I guess. She sounded really tired last time we spoke. <Isabel> OK, I think...

  • Kolya nods

<Isabel> I heard some stuff about her, but I didn't want to... um.. <Isabel> Uh, forget I said anything. :o

  • Aidan glances at Isabel questioningly.

<Aidan> What? <Isabel> Nothing!

      • Max has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer )

<Kolya> hmm?

  • Aidan frowns slightly, but not in an ill-humoured manner.
  • Kolya shrugs
  • Kolya peeks at the boggan baked goods
  • Aidan guesses he ought to just let it be.

<Kolya> what all is in here, anyway? <Isabel> I'm not sure, I didn't pick through it ;D <Isabel> much <Kolya> heh <Kolya> hmm, muffins... <Aidan> The cinnamon rolls are fantastic... <Aidan> One of my favourites. <Aidan> Our mother used to make them with Tara. <Kolya> cool

  • Kolya will pick one up

<Kolya> (sec, groceries) <Aidan> (ok) <Kolya> (Back) <Aidan> 9yay!)

  • Kolya takes a bite

<Aidan> Oh! Nonono! <Aidan> You have to eat them by unwinding them.

  • Kolya doesn't seem to be entirely enthused, but is generally lacking in energy...
  • Isabel already broke hers in half :o
  • Aidan demonstrates. ;^D

<Kolya> I do? <Kolya> ... <Aidan> Mmm-hmm. <Kolya> does it make them taste better? <Aidan> Yes.

  • Kolya looks dubious

<Isabel> . o O (Nockers are weird) <Kolya> how? <Isabel> . o O (Hee!) <Aidan> Magic.

  • Kolya shrugs

<Isabel> I wrecked this one, then.. :/

  • Kolya will unwind his bun, then

<Aidan> It's a Gwydaine secret that I now pass along to you. <Isabel> Oh well, better eeat another one :D

  • Aidan grins.

<Kolya> I guess so :)

  • Isabel grabs a second and begins unravelling it.
  • Aidan glances at them expectantly. ;^D

<Isabel> *eat*

  • Aidan continues unwinding and eating his.

<Kolya> well, I guess it makes them last longer at least <Kolya> they are pretty tasty <Aidan> Indeed. <Isabel> mmf-hmf <Aidan> Rachel, Tally and I wanted to make one once that would unwind to be taller than we were... <Isabel> "s hard to picture your dad doing it... <Aidan> Who do you think I learned it from? <Aidan> ;) <Isabel> ... nothim? :o

  • Isabel figured a boggan.

<Aidan> Wrong! <Kolya> cool <Aidan> I've never seen Father eat them in any manner save this tried and tested one.

  • Aidan smiles.

<Kolya> that'd be a bigass cinamon bun <Aidan> Yes, well... not that big. <Isabel> ... <Aidan> Tally and I hadn't topped four feet at the time... <Isabel> We should make one :o <Aidan> But still.

  • Isabel takes Aidan by the shoulders.

<Isabel> A GIANT ONE

  • Aidan 's eyes widen.

<Aidan> Where? <Isabel> ... uh <Isabel> I dunno :o <Isabel> your house? <Kolya> ...

  • Kolya watches the scene warily

<Aidan> Well, see... that's the problem. Tally, Rachel and I *did* try to make one once. But we were small... and the flour bad was heavy... <Kolya> that would be... a lot of dough <Aidan> And the milk jug was slippery... <Isabel> ... :o <Aidan> And the honey was sticky... <Aidan> And... things fell. <Isabel> and now you're not allowed in the kitchen? :o <Aidan> And then it was so fun we started throwing handfuls of flour at one another... <Aidan> And it just devolved from there. <Aidan> Tara was not pleased. <Kolya> honey? <Isabel> Tara let Rachel in that time, but we weren't baking anything I guess... <Kolya> I didn't think you put honey in cinamon buns... <Aidan> We couldn't find the sugar...

  • Aidan blushes.

<Kolya> oh <Isabel> that would be ... very sticky :o <Aidan> It was... but we were quite pleased with ourselves. <Aidan> We looked like ghosts. <Kolya> ...dd you get it baked? <Aidan> Rachel's wings were a *mess*, and they're so delicate - hard to clean. <Aidan> It wasn't pretty. <Kolya> I'd think the key would be low heat and a longer cooking time... <Aidan> We did put it in the oven. <Isabel> :o <Aidan> But before it could finish baking, Tara had discovered us! <Kolya> ahhh <Kolya> I bet she just ate it ;) <Aidan> And she chased us out of the kitchen. <Aidan> Then she started cleaning up after us. <Kolya> ...or your dad did! <Kolya> :o <Aidan> She was so displeased that she forgot about it. <Aidan> And then there was a fire. <Isabel> Oh no!!! :o <Aidan> Luckily it was discovered before it spread. <Aidan> Father would have killed us. <Aidan> Still, the kitchen smelled like burnt sugary goop for several days. <Kolya> heh <Kolya> I wasn't allowed to do baking when I was a kid <Aidan> ... <Kolya> I got important jobs instead... <Isabel> Me neither <Kolya> like, you know, licking the spoon <Kolya> and decorating cookies <Isabel> Cora and Nora would have had fits.

  • Aidan smiles.

<Kolya> yeah <Isabel> Yeah, I decorated cookies... <Isabel> I also decorated the table, the chair, Cascade... <Aidan> Tara and Mother had us help out all the time... <Isabel> :D <Kolya> heh heh <Aidan> Mother didn't want us to grow up spoiled. <Kolya> all my gingerbreadmen had wheels for feet <Kolya> It was, like, my trademark <Isabel> hee hee!

  • Aidan smiles.

<Kolya> Are they still around, Is? <Isabel> Cora and Nora?

  • Kolya nods

<Isabel> Well... <Isabel> Their grand daughters are... <Isabel> ... <Isabel> -_-

  • Kolya nods

<Kolya> I figured :/ <Aidan> . o O (That's a downer... just when it seemed people were having fun.)

  • Kolya eats more of his cinnamon bun

<Aidan> ... <Aidan> You know... the cooks here are not in the kitchen for a few hours every night. <Aidan> If you wanted to risk it... <Kolya> hmm? <Aidan> Oh- nothing. <Isabel> I don't know how to work a... non dial-y oven <Kolya> me either... <Aidan> I do. <Isabel> You do? <Isabel> STEALTH BUNNAGE <Aidan> ... <Aidan> . o O (What am I thinking?  :^o) <Isabel> Then we'll take it back to Ulysses and Andrea's and feast! <Isabel> Oh boy. <Isabel> I'm hungry just thinking about it.. <Aidan> ... <Aidan> I've created a monster... <Isabel> Gimme one of those muffins, Nikki <Isabel> :D <Aidan> ! <Aidan> Which could be very bad, seeing as I'm a nocker...

  • Kolya hands Is a muffin

<Kolya> heh

  • Isabel tears the top off and starts eating it.

<Kolya> so, you're not in charge of the recipie, then :D <Aidan> Well... maybe Dovev or the knights will want to share rather than rat us out. <Kolya> mr. "I put honey in cinamon buns!" <Aidan> It was a committee decision!

  • Aidan says indignantly.

<Isabel> Does Dovev eat... other than people? :o <Kolya> too bad that Trolius guy got sent away <Kolya> suuure it was, Aidan ;) <Kolya> he'd totally have helped us :) <Aidan> (I feel kind of sorry for Trolius... once he finds out what Rachel wanted him for...  ;^D) <Aidan> So, when will we do the despicable deed? <Kolya> (yeep?) <Kolya> what's the magic hour? <Kolya> .... <Aidan> 12:30 am <Kolya> you know, I *know* most of the boggans. <Kolya> I could probably get some of them to help us... <Isabel> Need to find those satyrs, they have our getaway boat <Aidan> Until 3:30 am <Kolya> or at least to cover us <Kolya> yeah <Kolya> (When dos Fish get off work?)

<Isabel> (It's a class, and I don't know) <Kolya> (That's what I meant) <Kolya> (YO Max Power) <Kolya> how're we gonna do that, then? <Kolya> also, someone is going to have to research recipies <Aidan> I believe you've already excluded me from that duty. <Isabel> your boggan contacts? <Kolya> could do... <Kolya> I've been getting people to bring me books from the library <Kolya> I could get people to start brining me desssert recipie books.. <Kolya> although I fear what the countess might have in stick :o <Aidan> ... <Aidan> Does she even keep recipe books in her library? <Aidan> o.O <Aidan> I just can't picture it... <Isabel> They're probably all in the kitchens... <Aidan> Mind you, I've never looked. <Kolya> who knows :o <Kolya> I <Kolya> 'll see what I can turn up <Isabel> Excellent... <Aidan> (You know, when I *do* play Aidan i seem to come up with the weirdest ideas... last time it was the romance novel thing) <Kolya> 9yeah, Aidan is cool, see :D) <Kolya> I can use my boggan contacts to find out where the ingredients are kept too... <Aidan> (If only there were a nice guy who thought the same...) <Kolya> we might need extra flour and so on <Kolya> (Joel) <Aidan> (on the phone?) <Kolya> (No. Is a good boy with fun ideas ;) <Aidan> (I meant a nice guy who thought *Aidan* was cool... he needs a new SO! ) <Aidan> (lol) <Aidan> (Joel, eh...?  ;^D) <Kolya> (;p) <Aidan> It's sounding more and more like a major covert operation...

  • Aidan muses.

<Kolya> ... and whose height should this unroll to, anyway?

  • Aidan is only about 5' 7" - the twins took after Debbie in terms of height.
  • Kolya is probably the tallest here, then

<Kolya> you or Is? <Aidan> Why not make it a true challenge and go for your height? <Isabel> And if it's me, with my heels on or without?

      • Max has quit IRC (Ping timeout )

<Isabel> ... <Isabel> I just thought of something <Isabel> Is this going to require math? <Aidan> Yes. <Aidan> But that's not a problem. <Isabel> ugh <Aidan> I'll handle it...

  • Kolya shrugs

<Kolya> without heels, I think :) <Kolya> so, how tall is that? <Kolya> or, hmmm. maybe with, since you always wear heels :o <Isabel> pretty tall! <Kolya> we can mearure later, I guess... <Kolya> you're not as tall as me, though, are you? <Isabel> no, probably not :/ <Kolya> 'k <Kolya> ....not that I know how tall I am. <Kolya> I haven't measured in a while either :o <Aidan> (how tall is he? 6'3 or so? more?) <Kolya> (I'm not entirely sure off the top of my head. A little over 6, though) <Aidan> I'd guess you're about 6'2" or 6'3"... <Kolya> yeah, probably... <Aidan> Well, I'm 5'7" or so.

  • Isabel does the I'm taller than Aidan hop.

<Aidan> ¬_¬ <Isabel> :D

      • Vess has joined #changeling

<Isabel> (Terryyy) <Aidan> We take after our mother... <Vess> (waves to everyone!) <Aidan> Our biological father was actually quite tall...  :^/ <Kolya> (hey terry, whassup?) <Kolya> ahh <Isabel> (Heather's ass is squeaking) <Kolya> (sorry) <Isabel> (ooc) <Aidan> Well... I meant to go look for some musical scores... <Aidan> Perhaps I ought to go do that. <Kolya> oh, well, thanks for stopping by... <Isabel> Later! <Kolya> We'll let you know when we get ahold of Andrea and Ulysses :D <Aidan> Yes - are we doing this *tonight*? <Kolya> and then the planning can begin in earnest <Kolya> well, ni gurantees.. <Kolya> they could be *anywhere* <Kolya> (no) <Aidan> I had been planning on returning to Oxford - ought I not to/ <Aidan> (/ = ?) <Kolya> hmmm, stick around, why not? <Kolya> I'm sure they aren't too far <Aidan> All right... I'll see if Marguerite has any space for me. <Aidan> Perhaps we can discuss things more over dinner? <Isabel> Sure!

  • Aidan smiles.

<Aidan> What time would be good for all?

  • Isabel shrugs cutely.

<Isabel> I can eat anytime. <Aidan> Kolya? <Aidan> Are you on some special meal schedule to help you get better?

  • Aidan teases.

<Kolya> no, not really... <Kolya> . o O ( they are happy enough if I eat at all ) <Aidan> All right... round about 6, then? <Isabel> hooray! <Kolya> sure <Kolya> where? <Aidan> The solarium is always nice, and it will get you out into a room with plants, Kolya. <Kolya> plants are nice... <Kolya> I like plants. <Kolya> sounds fine

  • Isabel hops around.

<Aidan> Well I'll see you then. <Isabel> This will be nice, even if we don't carry out the operation tonight. <Kolya> alright :) <Isabel> Okay! <Aidan> I look forward to it.

  • Aidan bows to the two of you and departs.
