Revision as of 11:13, 11 March 2012
- 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)
<Isabel> (mostly annoying. ;)
- 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?)
- Max has joined #changeling
- ChanServ sets mode: +o Max
<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.
