Rod pages, "you recieve a trump early morning after marches. taking it?" to you. You page, "Beowulf takes the trump." to Rod. You page, "Beowulf blinks a bit in surprise. "Hello, Jacqueline."" to Rod. Rod pages, "Jaqueline appears via trump, looking much less angry than when you last saw her. Oddly somber, even, but not angry. "Hello, Uncle. I hope I haven't woken you."" to you. You page, "Beowulf nods soberly in return. "No, you didn't." He sighs. "I'm sorry about those hecklers at the ceremony. I was tempted to dump them into the Dead Unicorn wearing dunce caps, but resisted a bit too long; they didn't leave me another excuse." to Rod. Rod pages, "Jaqueline nods. "No need for you to apologize for them... you had nothing to do with them. Ah... I... I was actually calling to apologize to you."" to you. You page, "Beowulf blinks in surprise. "Apologize? I was the one who made you angry."" to Rod. Rod pages, "Jaqueline grins sheepishly. "Ah... well... after talking to cousin Moriya and cousin Motoko last night... I understand what's going on now... and I should't have taken it out on you. My apologies." to you. You page, "Beowulf smiles a bit. "No problem, Jacqui. I've seen a bit of how much you care about your father, and how much his death hurt you."" to Rod. You page, "Beowulf sighs. "I should have been more toughtful." to Rod. Rod pages, "Jaqueline says, "Let's, ah, just move on. Dad always said you shouldn't mope about your mistakes too long." Her look turns more curious. "So, ah, how did the trip at CAFAM go?"" to you. You page, "Beowulf nods. "If you like, Jacqui." He smiles ruefully. "The CAFAM trip was completely uneventful... unlike Moriya and Motoko's. They managed to come across the spikard I'd been looking for." to Rod. You page, ""I did pick up that construct manual for you, though."" to Rod. Rod pages, "Jaqueline brightens. "Oh? I hope it wasn't terribly expensive."" to you. You page, "OOCly, don't even know how much it cost. :p After the big deal about going down to Chaos to return artwork for reward money, John didn't even go into how much it cost; just said I had enough money." to Rod. You page, "Beowulf shrugs. "I had enough; don't worry about it." to Rod. Rod pages, "Jaqueline looks expectantly at you." to you. You page, ""I did pick up a few Elder Sign pendants, given the way the Family's been running into Outsider stuff lately; you want one? Should help defend against Outsider sorcery and the like." to Rod. Rod pages, "it occurs to you that you haven't handed over the construct manual yet ;)" to you. You page, "OOC Should have just told her it was from Anno's library. ^_^" to Rod. You page, "OOCly waiting to see if she wants a pendant, then hand everything through at once. :)" to Rod. Rod pages, "Jaqueline blinks. "Pendant? Mmm... how many do you have? I'd like sis and Shinobu-chan to have one too."" to you. You page, "Hmmm, how many Elder Sign pendants was I able to pick up?" to Akemi. Akemi pages, "If you two are talking IC by page, it helps to let the DM listen in also :)" to Rod and you. Akemi pages, "Three." to you. You page, "Ack. Well, you'd said we could just conduct it and send you a log... ^_^" to Akemi and Rod. Rod pages, "well, you seemed busy..... n.n;" to Akemi and you. You page, "Drat. Was hoping I'd have enough money for more. Oh, well." to Akemi. Akemi pages, "That was me assuming you'd be doing it some time when I'm not around :)" to Rod and you. You page, "Ahso. :) Want me to catch you up on what we've done so far?" to Akemi and Rod. Rod pages, "weeeell, we're almost done anyway, so all's good." to Akemi and you. You page, "Beowulf sighs. "Unfortunately, I was only able to pick up three, and I want to save one for Lily." His eyes grow soft for a moment, thinking of her. "Hopefully they'll have Kafuin making Elder Sign objects again soon, and you can get ones for Shinobu-chan and Moonshade from them." to Akemi and Rod. Rod pages, "Jaqueline nods. "That's fine... you should take care of Lily, you know." She ahems and raises an eyebrow, smiling." to Akemi and you. You page, "Beowulf hands the construct manual and the pendant through the connection. "Here you go. Have fun with Morganstern." He smiles." to Akemi and Rod. You page, "And was Jacqui just after Bey for his construct manual? ^_^" to Rod. Rod pages, "Jaqueline takes them and bows slightly. "Thank you, uncle. And... take care."" to you. Rod pages, "nah, a part of her personality is trying to keep the family together" to you. Rod pages, "and that's a wrap :)" to Akemi and you. You page, "You too, Jacqui. I figured you could use the pendant, if you were going after Taylor clones. Take care yourself."" to Akemi and Rod.
