I have to give my daughter a stuffed fish." --Shinesman Sepia, _Shinesman_ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2000 09:04:35 -0400 (EDT) From: Philip J. Moyer To: John Biles , Amy "General Chaos" Borden , Chris Angelini , keiichi@i-manila.com.ph Subject: [Amber/TAMD] Mikage, Corrine -- Meeting Mikage [[Archivist's note -- This log was played place -before- I read the Corrine/Shaft/"Corrine" log performed the night before, so therefore there are obviously some discrepencies between things recounted there and discussions made here. However, I think with a little filing and tweaking, both can work. For one, clearly Corrine went to see Miki to show him the Etched-Trump Crossbow Bolt -before- she went back to her room to ponder Whalekiller. For two, (and this is partly my fault for not having gotten more info from John before continuing the scene), clearly Corrine's reactions when the subject of Corrine-Embra are an attempt to sound out from Mikage just what HE knows about the entire deal. *wry look* Basically information-gathering, since she doesn't know much about it herself save the place-name. And she -is- upset over the entire concept anyway, naturally. But of course, your milage may vary. Enjoy! ^_^ -- PJM ]] [[Archivist's note #2 -- for those who are following along at home, TimeRunner plays Mikage. -- PJM ]] ===================== Akemi pages, "You up for having a conference with Mikage?" to you. You page, "Sure... in Arden, I imagine? Since I just got the trump request from Shaft?" to Akemi. You page-pose, "Aerianne mutters things about keeping this family safe and sane being a fulltime job." to Akemi. Akemi pages, "You and Shaft went back to Amber at the end of the Hunt; easiest to ahve him find you there." to you. You page, "Right. So I guess Corrine's got Whalekiller, no intention to use it, but an intention to get back to Arden after she relates new orders to the rangers." to Akemi. In a page-pose to you, Akemi nods You page, "Whoooboy, this is going to be an interesting first meeting. ^_-;" to Akemi. ===================== ===================== Akemi pages, "Okay, you go to find Corrine, Mikage. Knocking on her door, does find her, luckily." to you and TimeRunner. You page, "[Corrine calls back, "Just a minute!" She then sighs, runs a hand through her hair, and heads for the door to open it. She glances back at Whalekiller propped up in the corner.]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "Great, though I can see I've interrupted something." to you and Akemi. You page, "[Corrine quirks an eyebrow, looking at the pink-haired man in front of her. "Oh, no major rush..." She rolls her eyes a bit. "...It's been one of those extremey stressful days that makes you wonder who you pissed off in the past decade. Please, come in." She glances at Mikage again, curious. "Didn't I see you at the banquet last night?"]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "Yes, your Highness." He smiles, a little. "I distinctly remember you trying to kill me, however." to you and Akemi. You page, "[Corrine blinks. And blinks again. She says, intelligently, "Bwa?"]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. You page, "[Corrine] ... I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage, sir... for I have no idea -who- you are, and I only -met- you last night at the banquet and up in the duel arena." to Akemi and TimeRunner. You page, "[Corrine] For that matter, I don't even have your name.... *she manages a slight, confused smile*" to Akemi and TimeRunner. In a page-pose to you and Akemi, TimeRunner smiles. "Sorry. Unpleasant incident a fortnight back. I am Mikage Souji. I'm afraid your shadow from Embra had different ideas on how I should continue the rest of my days. You page, "[Corrine gestures, inviting Mikage in. "A pleasure to meet you then, Mikage...." She then pauses, and sits on the edge of her desk. The windows are open, showing a beautiful view of the gulf of Amber. "... Shadow from -Embra-? -That's- who it was??" Her eyes widen a bit. "And what or where is Embra?"]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "Oh, my word... I've upset you. I apologize." to you and Akemi. You page, "[Corrine raises her hand. "No, no... it's just that earlier today, Shaft and I were out hunting a cockatrice for Wakaba... and while we were being plauged by baby cockatrices, we were set upon by a woman who looked too much like me for comfort, who attacked us both." She holds up one of her trumps of the Castle Amber courtyard.... with a crossbow bolt THROUGH it. "So... she's a shadow of me, you say? Truly?"]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "That's what I understand. I'm surprised she didn't send you somewhere... wet, like she did me." to you and Akemi. You page, "Would corrine know that she and shaft almost went to that fire-shadow?" to Akemi. Akemi pages, "Yes, you had time to examine the Trump." to you. You page, "[Corrine shakes her head. "No, not in our case. We almost got sent to a shadow that was wall-to-wall fire."]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "I'm glad to see you escaped safely, then." to you and Akemi. You page, "[Corrine] Thank you, Mikage. *she smiles slightly* Well, more to the point, she didn't get the chance to activate it. She got away, though. *she sighs, and rubs her brow* ... first an insane version of Drake... now an insane version of -me-... what, are going to be collecting the entire damn set before we're through? *She shakes her head* Anyway. So. What brings you by? *she tries smiling again -- you know, she's darn pretty if she's not overloaded with worry and frustration, or an alternate version of her who's a psycho biatch.*" to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "I'm sorry to trouble you... I wanted to see whether you were really not the woman who tried to kill me -- I'm glad to see you're as pleasant at that... nevermind. I'll cut to the chase. Do you have a spare Trump of Shalomar?" to you and Akemi. You page, "[Corrine] Ah-hah. *she quirks a slight grin* You need a full trump deck while I'm at it? Seems to be the day for trumps. *She tosses the trump-crossbow bolt on her desk, opens the drawer, and starts rummaging around an underside of another.*" to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "That would be... excellent, if it's not too much trouble. ^^;" to you and Akemi. You page, "[Corrine grins. "Easily done. I'll probably have to take some time off after this to replenish my stock, but Unicorn knows when -that- will be." She rummages around some more, and pulls out a standard-sized trump deck, albeit filled with Corrine trumps. She then pulls out a walnut trump case with the Amber Unicorn engraved on it. "Here you go, Mikage. Use them in good health."]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. You page, "[Corrine hands the case and the trumps to Mikage.]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "Excellent craftmanship. Thank you very much. *takes the case* I'm in your debt." to you and Akemi. You page, "[Corrine chuckles a bit, her good humor somewhat returning. "No problem, Mikage." She blushes a tad, and then looks thoughtful. "Hm."]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "Yes? What is it?" to you and Akemi. You page, "[Corrine] There is something, now that I think of it... pull my trump out of the deck, wait until I step into my bedroom, and Trump me, would you? *she gets up out of her chair*" to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "I... don't really understand, but I'll do what you say." to you and Akemi. In a page-pose to you and Akemi, TimeRunner pulls out the Corrine Trump. You page, "[Corrine nods. "I just want to test out a theory... it should only take a second." She heads over to the bedroom, leaving the door ajar so she can still be seen. The Corrine trump is of her, smiling, standing in Arden.]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. You page, "(translation... this is corrine coming up with an IC-reason to intiate her double-check trump-comm directive to later be implemnted in Arden. :)" to Akemi. Akemi pages, "Hehe." to you. In a page-pose to you and Akemi, TimeRunner smiles at the sight of the Trump. "Cute," he says. Then he activates the Trump. Akemi pages, "The trump works :)" to you and TimeRunner. You page, "[Corrine looks up, habitually, as the trump contact activates, and she and Mikage get that oh-so-familiar rainbow shimmer about them. "Oh good...." She smiles broadly. "Take my hand, and pull me through." She offers her hand.]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. In a page-pose to you and Akemi, TimeRunner nods and pulls Akemi through. You page, "[Corrine is pulled through! She smiles again, looking back at the bedroom she just trumped out of. "Thank you, Mikage. That's been a help." She looks thoughtful, a smile on her lips.]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "Glad to be of service, my lady." to you and Akemi. You page-pose, "Aerianne is always wary of Evil GM's! I've already gotten a protest from Amy to not let shaft get killed, 'cause she likes him. ^_-; ;)" to Akemi. Akemi pages, "Hehe." to you. You page, "[Corrine] Anyway, enjoy the trumps! If there isn't anything else... *she glances over at whalekiller, wryly* ... I've got to head back to Arden and take care of some things. I hope our meeting has put some of your worries to rest, and if you ever want to chat, feel free to Trump me." to Akemi and TimeRunner. You page, "Oh, has rod sent you the cockatrice log yet?" to Akemi. TimeRunner pages, "All right, then. Thank you once again for all your help, and if you ever need my help, feel free to contact me as well." He bows out." to you and Akemi. Akemi pages, "Hey, can you send me and Phil the Log of the Cockatrice hunt?" to you and Ryo. You page, "[Corrine bows back to Mikage with a smile, and only after he leaves she realizes she didn't ask more about him. Ahwell, there'll be other times, and at least she has his -name- now.]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. You page, "[Corrine heads over her door, closes and locks it, heads to the corner, hefts Whalekiller over her shoulder, and with her free hand, she opens her trump case, and pulls out a trump of the Arden Stronghold.]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. You page, "[Corrine then trumps out in a rainbow shimmer.]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. You page, "[And Finished Scene?]" to Akemi and TimeRunner. Akemi pages, "And finished scene." to you and TimeRunner. ======================= ======================= You page-pose, "Aerianne yays! IU swear, John, I must have plot-sensitive radar. This isn't the first time I've had this happen." to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "[Mikage grins.] That scene is done, I think. I still have to get to Shalomar. ^^;" to you and Akemi. You page, "That's up to -you-, TR. ;) My part is done for the nonce." to Akemi and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "Okay then. Thanks, Phil." to you and Akemi. Akemi pages, "Hehe." to you and TimeRunner. You page-pose, "Aerianne bows. Neg problems. And I think, with this, I'm going to thud. I'll try cleaning logs and stuff for the two of you tomorrow." to Akemi and TimeRunner. Akemi pages, "Given the time where you are, I hope ya get enough sleep" to you and TimeRunner. TimeRunner pages, "Night." to you and Akemi. You page, "Well, this isn't the first time I've had this sort of insomnia. ^_^; And I napped a little bit earlier today. Anyway, night." to Akemi and TimeRunner. Corrine OOCly waves, his plot-sensitive radar having been quelled for the nonce. G'night. Mikage says, "Night." Corrine OOCly picks up a trump of the Real World (tm), concentrates, and trumps out in a rainbow shimmer.
