| Grayling - Saturday, July 3, 2004 - Page 397 | Mid: You're..a halfling.
/ Rae: Mmm hm. / Mid: Okay..Uhm...Do you...have any...problems? You know...physically?
/ That I should know about? / Rae: ....I had flat feet when I was little. Cal fixed them. Otherwise, no.
/ Mid: Okay..good. That's good. / Mid: {thinking} Well....This is awkward. As halflings... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20040703 |
| Grayling - Sunday, July 4, 2004 - page 398 | Mid: Rae, it's not the end of the world...
/ Rae: I'm not saying it IS, but how would you like it, being stuck like this?! All the rest of you can attain perfect form, and here I have to put up with being perpetually...this, I can't even pull off a proper species in an ILLUSION because I PURR. / Mid:... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20040704 |
| Grayling - Wednesday, July 14, 2004 - page 399 | Mid: Seriously, Rae, it's not that bad... / Mid: But I guess you're not going to believe me anytime soon.
/ Are you? / Mid: ....Are you covered in fuzz? / Rae: Fur--
/ Mid: Can I touch???
/ Rae: Seeing as you already are...
/ Mid: You're so soft...
/ Rae: Um...yeah... / Mid: All right, Rae...

| Grayling - Tuesday, July 27, 2004 - Page 400 | AT HOME. / Fern: Well I would say that was a successful mission... even if it did take 2 years to get those bloody villagers to leave their VOLCANIC, LAVA-EXUDING island...
/ Fern: All's well that ends well. Now we can lie around, drink, and eat milanos. / Smoke: We've been gone for two years.
/ Fern:... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20040727 |
| Grayling - Wednesday, August 4, 2004 | Asne: You must be Fern.
/ Fern: That's right...
/ Asne: It's good to meet you at last. Cal has told me so much about you.
/ Fern: Oh. Uh.. That's nice. Where IS Cal, anyway?
/ Asne: I think he's attending to some elemental business. He asked me to wat here. / Fern: I see. And you are...?
/ Asne: Asne. I... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20040804 |
| Grayling - Tuesday, August 24, 2004 - Page 402 | [VOICEOVER]
/ Fern: That was the first time I met Asne... we talked for several hours-- about Faidian politics, mostly. It would turn out to be the first of many other nights like it. (Cal makes people wait for him all the time :P)
/ Fern: Understandably, I was a bit flummoxed at first by the whole thing.
/ [/VOICEOVER]
/ Fern:... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20040824 |
| Grayling - Saturday, September 4, 2004 | A FOREST FAR SOUTH OF TOWER
/ [VOICEOVER]
/ Fern: It started while I was still out working with Viv and Fola...
/ [/VOICEOVER] / Viv: Ah, I just love the great outdoors. I can remember when this forest wasn't here.. What? Don't you think it's marvelous?
/ Fern: If I didn't know how much work went into it,... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20040904 |
| Grayling - Saturday, September 11, 2004 - page 404 | Viv: So, we'll give them a bedtime story. Your storytelling abilities are renowned far and wide, Fern.
/ Fern: Stories later. Scuttlebutt now.
/ Fern: What's this I hear about the halfling facilities? / Viv: On that account, Fola would be the little bird to ask. But what about from your quarter? / Fern:... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20040911 |
| Grayling - Saturday, September 18, 2004 - Page 405 | Viv: Hm... well, as you mentioned the halfling facilities are-- / Fola: Two months ago there was a mortal political convention at Tower. Its purpose was to select administrators for the halfling suffrage movement and discuss funding. / Viv: I heard about that-- it was the first Tower convention to... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20040918 |
| Grayling - Sunday, September 26, 2004 - page 406 | AT ANNELCEY'S
/ Mid: Hmm.. / Delye: Is that a letter from... Fern?
/ Delye: Is he coming to visit? / Mid: Why are you so fond of him? He calls you a lunatic.. among other things.
/ Delye: I don't mind. I AM a lunatic. / Delye: He has such pretty eyes, and his hair looks like a flower.. a flower with... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20040926 |
| Grayling - Sunday, October 3, 2004 - page 407 | Delye: What DO you write to him? I don't write to any of the people who landed me in here... I'd dunno what to say to them.
/ Mid: I want him to know that I'm not angry, and that I don't... really blame him. I really wish they had waited.. before doing what they did... / Delye: If he cared about how... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041003 |
| Grayling - Monday, October 11, 2004 - page 408 | THAT SAME NIGHT, AROUND 2 AM
/ *click click*
/ *wriggle*
/ Fern: Oh open up you son of a bitching door... / Fern: Ah--there.
/ Fern: There locks need to be changed... / Fern: Though I guess I should be grateful they weren't changed in my /absence/. / Fern: *flop* <-- exhausted / Fern: {Eyes a bottle... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041011 |
| Grayling - Tuesday, October 12, 2004 - page 409 | Fern: Look, Cal. Believe it or not, I'm not here to quarrel with you. OR drink.
/ Fern: I had some spare time, so I thought I'd rest until morning. / Cal: ...You're not staying?
/ Fern: ...No. Just passing through. I have too much to do still, I can't be settling at home. Smoke's with Viv and Fola, taking... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041012 |
| Grayling - Wednesday, October 13, 2004 - page 410 | Cal: You're a terrible liar, Fern. I don't NEED to access your thoughts. I don't know why you still bother trying. / Fern: It's not a bother. It's instinct. I can't tell you-- I don't know enough yet. / Cal: Are you plotting against her? Is that why she ran away?
/ Fern: Asne ran away?! / Cal: I haven't... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041013 |
| Grayling - Thursday, October 14, 2004 - page 411 | Cal: {Stares, shocked, at Fern} / Fern: I get it, Cal. I COMPREHEND your opinion, okay? You think I ENJOY staying where I'm unwanted? I would've left a long, long, LONG time ago, but I CAN'T. I /CAN'T/. And I can't change that. / Cal: ...You would have left me? / Fern: ...How can you say that like... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041014 |
| Grayling - Saturday, October 23, 2004 - page 412 | Cal: But Fern.. Don't lie like that.
/ Fern: Lie? About what?
/ Cal: You wouldn't leave me, even if you could...
/ Fern: Aaaaaand why would that be? / Cal: You still like me. I know you do. You wouldn't leave. / Fern: ...Huh.
/ Fern: Once again, in your supreme ignorance of mortal convention, you still... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041023 |
| Grayling - Saturday, October 30, 2004 - page 413 | [VOICEOVER]
/ Fern: You might wonder how I could manually find someone in one night when I had the entire planet to search in. / Fern: Few of the other 'mentals had to track non-branch members, but I'd figured it out...
/ Fern: Even Cal did it the long way. So I had a little advantage. / Fern: In any... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041030 |
| Grayling - Monday, November 1, 2004 - page 14 | Fern: Get... what over with? What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost--
/ Asne: Don't-- p-please just don't talk-- / Fern: Asne, stop, take a breath and tell me what the hell is wrong--
/ Asne: I know you can't help it-- I'm sorry, I'm sorry--
/ Asne: *hic* You never deserved th-this on top of everything... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041101 |
| Grayling - Tuesday, November 2, 2004 - page 15 | Asne: I don't suppose Annelcey's could have me. / Fern: No.. it.. it couldn't. S'the only actual sanctuary on Faidia, but it would be a violation of the contract to hide a civilian there. The whole hospital could be disbanded. / Fern: Speaking of sanctuaries.. why Tower, Asne? Why did you come here... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041102 |
| Grayling - Thursday, November 4, 2004 - page 416 | Fern: Okay. I understand that.
/ Asne: Fern, I--
/ Fern: Don't.. Don't. You don't have to apologize for this... This is how it is, now we deal with it the best we can. / Fern: I just don't want anyone to hurt from this too badly... Least of all the kid. But we have the most to lose..
/ Asne: I can't stay... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041104 |
| Grayling - Friday, November 5, 2004 - page 417 | [VOICEOVER]
/ Fern: When I finally found and arrived at the Kemfdals, you can't imagine how tired I was.
/ Fern: Of course, like all the sane people on this side of the world, the Kemfdals were all in bed. / Fern: I was able to raise two household melceys, Garadian and Shophe. Apparently the Kemfdals... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041105 |
| Grayling - Saturday, November 6, 2004 - page 418 | Cal: Fern-- Fern when you were alive, you had children. You were a father. / Fern: ...Er.. yes.. but Cal.. I don't remember.. / Fern: That, and I murdered them..
/ Cal: You didn't hurt them intentionally.. You understand these things more that I ever will. / Cal: Just look at what you've done for Mid.
/ Cal:... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041106 |
| Grayling - Saturday, November 13, 2004 - Page 419 | Fern: Okay.. here we are. Let's talk. / Cal: I've had my finger on it's pulse for an hour... I haven't done it yet.. I could do it any second, just another ruptured vesicle, it'd be as simple as killing anyone. Simpler. There's a reason. So often there is no reason. / Fern: Wh.. What made you wait?
/ Cal:... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041113 |
| Grayling - Sunday, November 14, 2004 - page 420 | Fern: That's fine, Cal. There are plenty of people who live their whole lives quite happily not knowing who their biological parents were. Asne's culture doesn't place any immediate importance on biological relationships, to boot. / Cal: I would be a bad parent. I've /been/ a bad parent...
/ Cal: I wouldn't... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041114 |
| Grayling - Saturday, November 20, 2004 - Page 421 | Delye: Miiid. Mid? MID
/ Mid: Unggg...Wh? G'way, Delye, it's Saturday... / Delye: I know, but Fern's already here n'wants to see you. / Mid: ...But it's six in the morning..I hope nothing's wrong...
/ I hope you're not waking me up for nothing. / Delye: Now would I lie to you?
/ Mid: ...no comment, De.... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041120 |
| Grayling - Sunday, November 28, 2004 - Page 422 | Mid: I'm worried about you, Fern. I thought you'd get angry... at least throttle Delye a little.
/ Fern: I'm... just really tired. Anyway, it's coming off. / Fern: I see all of your hair's grown back, for better or worse.
/ Mid: Yeah... I've been... feeling a lot better. Listen... um. I know you came... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041128 |
| Grayling - Saturday, December 4, 2004 - page 423 | Mid: I don't think you're gullible, Fern...
/ Fern: Well... That's nice.
/ Mid: ... / Fern: ...He said.. He's going to be alone forever. He can't be with anyone without... It's impossible for him not to be alone. / Mid: ...That.. that isn't really true, is it? I mean... Anything can happen. He's being...just... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041204 |
| Grayling - Wednesday, December 8, 2004 - Page 424 | Delye: Aw. He was hardly here at all...
/ Delye: Why'd you have to piss him off?
/ Mid: Some things are more important than having fun. / Delye: Are you kiddin? That's the ONLY important thing.
/ Mid: ...That's not a very healthy attitude.
/ Delye: Healthier than yours, sour grapes. What's more important... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041208 |
| Grayling - Friday, December 17, 2004 - Page 425 | Delye: Looks like you had that dream again, huh?
/ Mid: Yeah.. the sun and the waste land. / Mid: I feel like I should understand it.... Like what it means is just a thought away... But something alway seems to prevent me from making the leap.
/ Delye: Hmm. I dunno. It seems familiar to me too. But I... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20041217 |
| Grayling - Saturday, January 8, 2005 - Page 426 | So began what was probably my strangest assignment yet. Strange for its domesticity, anyway. And the fact that I had to deal regularly with mortals. Secondaries are more like mortals than primaries are... but the older we get, the more like primaries we become.
/ Fortunately, I took lots of snapshots. / I... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20050108 |
