Gnome Power

21:08:11You wave.
21:08:14Duerma waves at you.
21:08:16Duerma says: HIHIHI!
21:08:21Calsh says: Hey!
21:08:22Nellardy says: I say, Hello there!
21:08:22Duerma says: Welcome welcome!
21:08:32Calsh says: Sorry I'm late!
21:08:46Duerma says: It's totally OK! Obviously you are earlier than most other people!
21:09:26You smile.
21:09:49Nellardy says: Nellardy SunCog, pleased to see you made it!
21:09:51Nellardy stands at attention and salutes.
21:09:55You nod at Nellardy.
21:09:56Nellardy says: That's me by the way, Nellardy.
21:10:06Calsh says: Calsh. Calsh Trinketrun.
21:10:09You bow before Nellardy.
21:10:30Duerma says: Duerma Whistlescrew!
21:10:41Duerma points to the little girl munching on a hot dog.
21:10:46Duerma says: And that's my daughter, Wynni.
21:10:53You smile at Winter's Little Helper.
21:11:32Nellardy says: Mister Trinketrun, ethic dictates I warn you, I'm having my assistant record everything. It's all for posterity don't worry, but I'm still required to tell you. Court settlements are costly and I'd rather not go through that again....
21:11:42Duerma 's daughter blinks at the newcomer but keeps stuffing her mouth full.
21:11:51You shrug at Nellardy. Who knows?
21:12:00Calsh says: That's fine.
21:13:00Calsh takes a seat.
21:13:01Duerma says: Anyway, feel free to grab something off the grill here! And I've got some fruit and drinks to go with.
21:13:13You nod at Duerma.
21:13:25Calsh says: Thank you, ma'am.
21:13:32Duerma says: Not a problem!
Several gnomes around a grill
21:14:39Nellardy says: Hmm...we should set up a permanent frequency for these events...Do either of you remember the one that reminded people of game fridays in Gnomeregan? We need something like that!
21:15:09Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
21:15:28Duerma 's daughter dutifully toddles over and pokes Duerma's belly.
21:15:30Calsh says: Can't say that I do remember that, but I spent a lot of time away. I guess my sister might know what you're talking about.
21:15:30Duerma says: Eeep!
21:15:31Nellardy says: Hmm...
21:15:33Calsh says: Oh!
21:15:43Calsh says: You were the one who kept falling asleep at our pub a couple weeks ago!
21:15:52Duerma says: Yeah, that's me...
21:15:54Duerma blushes at you.
21:15:55You smile at Duerma.
21:16:00Nellardy says: Ha? This is a rersistent problem?
21:16:07Calsh says: I thought you looked familiar.
21:16:21Calsh blushes and thinks.
21:16:27Duerma says: Um... yeah. I'm a chronic narcoleptic. Effect of the Gnomeregan radiation and all that.
21:16:28Calsh says: ...and I guess I'm sorry for bringing that up!
21:16:42You nod at Duerma.
21:17:00Duerma says: No, it's OK! I mean, it's totally weird to fall asleep all the time, so it comes up, like, always.
21:17:18You shrug at Duerma. Who knows?
21:17:49Nellardy says: At least it's mostly harmless! It could have been worse. Like Kleptomania! Although radiations can't cause that one I think...
21:18:03Calsh says: Everyone's weird in some way.
21:18:21Calsh says: And I don't think it could, either.
21:18:25Duerma says: Yeah, that would be pretty strange if that happened! That's more of a psychological, while mine is neurological.
21:18:34Calsh says: I'll trust you on that!
21:18:47Calsh says: But yes, worse things could have happened.
21:19:06You smile.
21:19:42Duerma says: My boyfriend, Pizmo - he lost all his memory. He can't remember a thing from before the incident.
21:20:22Nellardy says: That's terrible! Are we expecting him tonight?
21:20:32Calsh says: The only people close to me I knew who were there for the incident aren't talking about it. I wasn't there at the time myself.
21:20:46Duerma says: I sure hope so! He really wanted to come support me and stuff, but his corporation takes up a lot of his time.
21:21:06Duerma 's daughter tugs on Duerma's skirt and says, "Watermelon?"
21:21:09Nellardy says: I was away as well...my wife went missing in the evacuation though.
21:21:18You nod at Nellardy.
21:21:25Duerma grins and pulls out a slice of Snapvine Watermelon.
21:21:28Calsh says: Same with my parents.
21:21:46Calsh says: But the rest of my family made it out.
21:21:52Duerma says: Yeah, I lost my first husband and son... and pretty much everyone else except my brother.
21:22:04Duerma rubs the back of her neck and shuffles her feet a bit.
21:22:13Calsh says: And by the rest of my family, I mean my brother and sister... that's all I had.
21:22:26Nellardy nods at you.
21:22:38Nellardy says: A cousin of mine made it out, as well as two uncles.
21:23:05Nellardy says: The uncles were eaten by blue dragons, cousin died of...Hmm. Don't remember. Water under the bridge!
21:23:13You nod at Nellardy.
21:23:18Nellardy says: It's the gnomish way to look forward, not back!
21:23:22Duerma says: TOTALLY!
21:23:25Calsh says: Same. Wish it hadn't happened, but I'm over it.
21:24:46Nellardy pokes around the squirrels back.
21:24:52Duerma says: Everyone has lost someone... or a lot of someones. What a depressed race we would be if ew couldn't look forward!
21:24:57Nellardy says: ...looks like he's still recording well. I think that's a new record!
21:25:26Calsh says: Record?
21:25:36Calsh says: Record for what?
21:25:40Nellardy says: Posterity!
21:26:02Calsh says: I mean, you said it's a new record, implying that there was an old record you broke?
21:26:15Nellardy says: OH! -that- record!
21:26:19Nellardy lets out a hearty chuckle.
21:26:24Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
21:26:30Nellardy says: Yes, he ussualy has a malfunction much soo- ha!
21:26:39You poke Duerma. Hey!
21:26:46Duerma says: Eep!
21:26:50Calsh says: Sorry.
21:26:51Duerma says: Thanks!
21:27:03Duerma says: I think Wynni was too busy downing her watermelon to help.
21:27:10You smile at Winter's Little Helper.
21:27:27Calsh says: How old is she?
21:27:33Duerma waves at Dougie.
21:27:38Duerma says: Hi Dougie!
21:27:39You wave at Dougie.
21:27:39Dougie waves at Duerma.
21:27:45Duerma says: Oh, she's 2.
21:27:46Dougie says: Hey peoples.
21:27:51Nellardy stands at attention and salutes.
21:28:03Calsh says: Expecting a fight?
21:28:18Duerma says: He was probably just SO eager to get here he forgot to change!
21:28:19Dougie says: Well..I just came from a fight, if that's what ya mean.
21:28:30You smile.
21:28:31Dougie says: Darn trolls acting up again..
21:29:18Dougie says: Besides, I just got this new sword..I need to wear it in a little.
21:29:37You nod at Dougie.
21:29:49Calsh says: I'd hope it doesn't get too much wearing in here, though.
21:29:52You let out a hearty chuckle.
21:30:49Dougie says: I guess that's true..can't be too careful though.
21:31:04Calsh fishes around in his bag.
21:31:13Calsh says: Wouldn't want to be unprepared, though.
21:31:19Duerma says: Course not!
21:31:20Dougie blinks at you.
21:31:30Duerma says: I totally have my boomboom stuff in my bags in case.
21:31:46Duerma says: But it's so totally deserted out here. We'll be good.
21:32:02Nellardy says: I doubt even rain clouds will trouble us here!
21:32:04Calsh says: Oh, I've got better things than this fish with me too. But I don't expect to need them.
21:33:34Dougie says: I guess I could put on something else if it bothered y'all.
21:33:42Calsh says: Doesn't bother me.
21:33:43Duerma says: No, don't worry about it. It's cool!
21:33:53Nellardy says: I've no problem with it!
21:33:56Calsh says: Plus, I don't want to see you change!
21:33:58You grin wickedly.
21:33:58Dougie nods.
21:34:18Duerma giggles.
21:34:26Duerma says: TRUE ENOUGH!
21:35:15Duerma says: Let's get some people here more quickly.
21:35:23Duerma says: Ack, wrong one!
21:35:27You nod.
21:35:34Duerma says: There we go!
21:35:56You greet Priwiel warmly.
21:35:58Priwiel says: ...The nether?
21:36:04Dougie waves at Priwiel.
21:36:07Nellardy says: Nope! Coast of Stormwind!
More gnomes arrive
21:36:19Priwiel says: ....Huh.
21:36:25Priwiel says: Okay then.
21:36:39Priwiel says: Hey, free grub!
21:36:54Dougie says: Oh, hey, barbeque.
21:37:08Duerma says: Anyone want some drinks or fireworks?
21:37:18Priwiel pushes her goggles up.
21:37:29Priwiel says: I'd take a drink, just no explosives in it.
21:37:37Duerma giggles at Priwiel.
21:37:37Calsh says: Brought my own drinks, actually, unless you've got something more interesting!
21:37:41Duerma says: Of course!
21:37:45Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
21:37:54Priwiel says: ...
21:38:00Duerma 's daughter spits a seed at Duerma.
21:38:01Priwiel says: HEY!
21:38:03Duerma says: Ack!
21:38:06Priwiel says: I'm not that boring!
21:38:11Duerma frowns with disappointment at Winter's Little Helper.
21:38:13Calsh deliberately turns from the crowd.
21:38:18You feel a little tipsy from the Fiery Festival Brew.
21:38:21Duerma says: We don't spit seeds, even to wake up Mommy.
21:38:24Calsh says: ... excuse me.
21:38:28Priwiel says: Were you making fun of me?!
21:38:54Duerma says: Huh, me? No no no! I'm so sorry!
21:38:54Calsh says: I doubt she was.
21:39:17Duerma says: I have a chronic condition - narcolepsy. I fall asleep all the time. Usually when it's inappropriate. It's SO not you.
21:39:23Priwiel says: ...
21:39:27Priwiel says: Oh.
21:39:34Priwiel blushes.
21:39:39Priwiel says: Sorry 'bout that.
21:39:40Duerma says: ANYWAY! I have Flask of Port and Ice Cold Milk here to drink.
21:39:49Duerma says: It's OK, happens all the time.
21:40:13Priwiel says: Milk please.
21:40:24Duerma says: There you go!
21:40:31Priwiel thanks Duerma.
21:40:43Priwiel says: So whats this all about?
21:40:47Duerma says: I brought some bananas, apples, and watermelon too, if you'd like some summer fruit.
21:40:51Duerma says: Oh!
21:40:52Priwiel says: I heard gnomish something.
21:41:08Duerma says: Yeah! The Gnomish Citizens Council. Or celebration!
21:41:19You feel sober again.
21:41:20Priwiel says: Ooh banana please!
21:41:33Duerma says: The idea is to get to know your fellow gnomes - we're so scattered that it can be hard to connect with each other amongst the tall races.
21:41:34Calsh says: I must admit, I'm unfamiliar with this council.
21:42:01Priwiel says: Mmphm. I guess so.
21:42:07Julen hails everyone around her.
21:42:08You wave.
21:42:13Priwiel says: I've never seen you guys before.
21:42:13Nellardy stands at attention and salutes.
21:42:15Julen says: [Gnomish] Hello!
21:42:25Duerma says: Oh man. it was FOREVER ago, like two and a half years I think? We got together every Sunday to socialize and discuss matters of importance to the gnomish nation.
21:42:27Duerma says: Hi Julen!
21:42:28Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Greetings!
21:42:38Duerma giggles.
21:42:55Duerma says: [Gnomish] I'm so used to talking to tall people! I didn't even think to speak our own language.
21:43:00Rixiel says: Now whose idea was it to decide to meet in the most remote, out-of-the-way location this side of Dun Morogh?
21:43:08Rixiel mumblegrumbles.
21:43:25Rixiel peers at Jakmat searchingly.
21:43:25Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Its not so bad.
21:43:33Duerma says: [Gnomish] Sorry sorry! It was further than I remembered. And I didn't want idiots off the street wandering in to harrass us.
21:43:43Priwiel nods.
21:43:44Duerma says: [Gnomish] Next time, it'll be in a totally better place, promise.
21:43:50Priwiel says: [Gnomish] The biggers love doing that.
21:43:57Rixiel says: And why are you still here? Get lost!
21:44:04Duerma says: [Gnomish] Anyway, introductions!
21:44:08Calsh says: [Gnomish] Eh, nothing really wrong with this place, it was just hard to find.
21:44:09Rixiel says: Stupid freeloading demons...
21:44:12You smile.
21:44:17Duerma says: [Gnomish] I'm Duerma Whistlescrew, and this is my daughter Wynni!
21:44:21Duerma points at Winter's Little Helper.
21:44:22Rixiel mumbles some more.
21:44:26Julen smiles at Winter's Little Helper.
21:44:28Priwiel waves at Duerma.
21:44:34Duerma points at Priwiel.
21:44:34Priwiel waves at Winter's Little Helper.
21:44:42Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Yeah?
21:44:47Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Oh.
21:44:54Duerma says: [Gnomish] Oh, I thought you were waving at me! My mistake!
21:45:05Duerma says: [Gnomish] Anyway! Um, let's go in a circle!
21:45:23Calsh says: [Gnomish] Circles can go two ways.
21:45:27Duerma points at Nellardy.
21:45:33Duerma says: [Gnomish] Nellardy, you next!
21:45:37Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ..Did you figure that out on your own?
21:45:39Nellardy says: [Gnomish] me next?
21:45:41Priwiel grins at you wickedly.
21:45:43Duerma says: [Gnomish] Yeah!
21:45:45Julen smirks slyly at Priwiel.
21:45:52Calsh says: [Gnomish] Took me a few hours, but yes.
21:45:55You grin wickedly at Priwiel.
21:45:58Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Next to what?
21:45:59Priwiel giggles.
21:46:05Julen says: [Gnomish] Introduce yourself!
21:46:12Calsh feigns being proud.
21:46:20Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Oh! Right right, of course. Evident conclusion...
21:46:26Dougie says: [Gnomish] Actually we're move of an exponential accleration curve now..
21:46:33Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ...
21:46:36Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Get on with it!
21:46:54Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Well Hi! I'm Nellardy SunCog, demolition expert. I've got a degree in urban demolition and gyrocopter maintenance from way back before the wars.
21:47:08Julen smiles at Nellardy.
21:47:10Duerma says: [Gnomish] Oh cool!
21:47:13Priwiel nods at Nellardy.
21:47:23Duerma says: [Gnomish] Gosh, maybe I shoulda said something more about me. Oh well.
21:47:32Duerma points at Julen.
21:47:35Julen waves.
21:47:54Priwiel waves at Julen.
21:48:02Julen says: [Gnomish] I'm Julen Centrifius, corporal in the Ironforge Guard.
21:48:14Duerma cheers at Julen!
21:48:16Duerma says: [Gnomish] Thanks Julen!
21:48:18Julen smiles.
21:48:24Duerma points at Dougie.
21:48:37Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
21:48:40Dougie says: [Gnomish] Dougie Starsprocket, at your service. Engi...
21:48:45Dougie blinks at Duerma.
21:48:46Nellardy pokes Duerma. Hey!
21:48:48Duerma says: [Gnomish] Eeep!
21:48:54Duerma says: [Gnomish] Sorry sorry, go on, please!@
21:49:09Duerma says: [Gnomish] Ignore my fits, really. It's fine.
21:49:29Dougie says: [Gnomish] Uh...kay! Engineer, swordsgnome, and maybe-someday Paladin, if the Order gets off their stodgy butts about it.
21:49:41Dougie salutes Duerma with respect.
21:49:46Julen smiles at Dougie.
21:49:49Duerma cheers at Dougie!
21:50:17Duerma waves at Censura.
21:50:20Duerma waves at Cariainn.
21:50:23Cariainn greets Duerma warmly.
21:50:23Duerma says: [Gnomish] Hi there!
21:50:28Censura waves at Duerma.
21:50:35Cariainn looks at Duerma with a confused look.
21:50:46Duerma says: Oh! Sorry! Hi!
21:50:53Cariainn says: Hello!
21:50:59You smile at Duerma.
21:51:04Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Gimme a hand!
21:51:06Duerma says: We totally weren't expecting any big folk!
21:51:13Censura lets out a hearty chuckle.
21:51:20Duerma greets Bellenet warmly.
21:51:28Cariainn says: Sorry to crash your party.
21:51:42Nellardy waves at Bellenet.
21:51:44Priwiel shrugs. Who knows?
21:51:50Dougie salutes Censura with respect.
21:52:08Censura bows before Dougie.
21:52:18Cariainn says: Well, we'll leave you be.
21:52:35Duerma says: Bye!
21:53:19Duerma says: Wow, so much for thinking we wouldn't get any drop ins way out here! Gosh!
21:53:26Duerma says: Have a seat!
21:54:00Duerma says: [Gnomish] Anyway!
21:54:04Duerma points at Priwiel.
21:54:12Julen says: [Gnomish] Yes, where were we?
21:54:13Duerma says: [Gnomish] I think it was your turn before we were interrupted?
21:55:26Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Hey! I'm Priwiel Swiftwrench! My father was Mr, Swiftwrench! If you guys have heard of him its because he worked on the monitors for the Tram we all use!
21:55:33Priwiel says: [Gnomish] And helped design the rail.
21:55:35Priwiel nods.
21:55:38Duerma says: [Gnomish] Really? That is SO cool!
21:55:43Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Amazing!
21:55:45Priwiel says: [Gnomish] My sister is Laurenna Swiftwrench...
21:55:58Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Now, don't flip, but I'm a warlock...
21:56:02Duerma says: [Gnomish] You know, I know a guy who might like to talk to you about that... The tram, I mean. Not your sister.
21:56:08Priwiel says: [Gnomish] I'm very good about not being evil..
21:56:08Duerma says: [Gnomish] Hey, it's fine! I am TOO!
21:56:10Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Oh!
21:56:20Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Well, I still have some of the designs.
21:56:25Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Who's ever heard of a -bad- gnomish warlock! Leave that to humans!
21:56:27Nellardy lets out a hearty chuckle.
21:56:33Duerma agrees with Nellardy.
21:56:33Dougie laughs at Nellardy.
21:56:33Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Saved them before Gnomergan went belly up...
21:56:33Rixiel coughs.
21:56:46Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
21:56:55Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Oh dear...
21:56:55Priwiel says: [Gnomish] So, yeah! thats me...
21:56:59Duerma 's daughter tugs on her hair.
21:57:02Duerma says: [Gnomish] Oww.
21:57:05Priwiel bows down graciously.
21:57:09Duerma says: [Gnomish] Awesome thanks!
21:57:13Duerma points at you.
21:57:23Calsh says: [Gnomish] Guess it's me?
21:57:27Duerma says: [Gnomish] Yup!
21:57:59Calsh says: [Gnomish] Calsh Trinketrun. I live in Menethil Harbor with my brother Rissh and sister Heacha, though I'm away more than I'm at home.
21:58:05Calsh says: [Gnomish] I do deliveries for hire, mostly.
21:58:14Calsh says: [Gnomish] And fishing. Lots of fishing.
21:58:15Priwiel nods at you.
21:58:19Priwiel smiles at you.
21:58:31Calsh says: [Gnomish] Even won the Stranglethorn contest once!
21:58:39Duerma says: [Gnomish] Oh neat!
21:58:43Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Whats the biggest fish you ever caught?
21:58:43Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Oh! Congratulations!
21:58:46Nellardy claps excitedly for you.
21:58:51Priwiel listens intently to you.
21:59:08Calsh stretches his arms as far as they'll go.
21:59:11Julen smiles at you.
21:59:11Calsh says: [Gnomish] Bigger than that.
21:59:18Duerma says: [Gnomish] Wow!
21:59:27Priwiel grins at you wickedly.
21:59:28You smile.
21:59:58Calsh says: [Gnomish] Guess that's it.
22:00:13Duerma cheers at you.
22:00:17Duerma points at Rixiel.
22:00:20Duerma says: [Gnomish] Your turn!
22:00:40Rixiel says: [Gnomish] Rixiel Shadowsprocket. That's about all I'm likely to tell at this point.
22:00:50Rixiel coughs politely.
22:00:51Julen says: [Gnomish] Mysterious...
22:00:54Duerma says: [Gnomish] Oh. Um, well, hi Rixiel!
22:00:57Duerma points at Bellenet.
22:01:01Priwiel snorts.
22:01:07Duerma says: [Gnomish] Your turn!
22:01:34Bellenet brings her hands together, her fingers prying at each other nervously. Shel ooks about the group, not really knowing what to say.
22:01:56Bellenet says: um.. Well, I'm Bellenet.
22:02:04Duerma smiles encouragingly at Bellenet.
22:02:07Duerma says: [Gnomish] Hi Bellenet!
22:02:15Bellenet bites her lip as she thinks, a bead of sweat rolling down her forehead.
22:02:29Duerma says: [Gnomish] If that's all you want to share right now, that is TOTALLY fine.
22:02:33Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Are you mysterious too?
22:02:42Priwiel quietly snickers to herself.
22:02:42Bellenet says: [Gnomish] I live in ironforge by myself and--- Mysterious?
22:02:51Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Nevermind!
22:02:55Duerma winces at Priwiel's remark.
22:03:21Bellenet says: [Gnomish] Ermm.. WEll, Yeah, I live by myself, and I just do my own thing, really.
22:03:28Duerma nods at Bellenet.
22:03:43Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Nothing wrong with that.
22:04:02Calsh takes off his hat.
22:04:07Duerma says: [Gnomish] Sounds good to me!
22:04:07Bellenet runs the palm of her hand across the bottom of her chin.
22:04:13Bellenet says: [Gnomish] THat's it, I think.
22:04:19Duerma smiles at Bellenet.
22:04:33Duerma says: [Gnomish] K, so since everyone else shared something interesting, I prolly should too!
22:04:38Priwiel peers at you searchingly.
22:04:50Priwiel covers her mouth, focusing on Duerma.
22:05:10Duerma says: [Gnomish] So, I help lead an army doing heroic deeds across Outland! We're planning a MASSIVE assault on Kael'Thas, and then it's on to the Black Temple!
22:05:36Julen peers enviously at Duerma.
22:05:38Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Sounds like you've got your hands full!
22:05:39Duerma says: [Gnomish] And I used to be a midwife! So if you'r ehaving babies, lemme know! I can totally help.
22:05:48Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ...
22:05:57Priwiel says: [Gnomish] What if you fall asleep during the birthing?
22:05:59Duerma says: [Gnomish] Kinda yeah! But it's so TOTALLY fun and amazing.
22:06:00You let out a hearty chuckle.
22:06:10Bellenet looks over at Duerma, she grits her teeth to herself nervously.
22:06:12Calsh says: [Gnomish] I don't think I'll be in need of your services, thanks.
22:06:18You smile at Duerma.
22:06:24Duerma says: [Gnomish] Ah. Right. Well, that's why my license was revoked, see... So I need to have someone there to help me.
22:06:28Duerma waves at Imble.
22:06:38Dougie waves at Imble.
22:06:38You greet Imble warmly.
22:06:41Duerma says: [Gnomish] Imble, yay! Introduce yourself!
22:06:41Imble waves at Duerma.
22:06:42Nellardy salutes Imble with respect.
22:07:31Imble says: [Gnomish] Me? Um... hello!
22:07:41You peer at Imble searchingly.
22:08:02Imble says: [Gnomish] I don't know what you can do with that, Calsh.. but you might be able to make it into something?
22:08:22Calsh says: [Gnomish] I'm sure I can find a use for it.
22:08:26You smile at Imble.
22:08:36Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
22:08:49Duerma 's daughter sits on her stomach.
22:08:55Duerma says: [Gnomish] Oooof.
22:09:24Duerma scoops her daughter into her lap and huggles her.
22:09:25Imble says: [Gnomish] I'm sorry, that horrible goblin wouldn't part with what I needed until I'd destroyed every single elemental on his beach..
22:09:36Dougie says: [Gnomish] Feh..
22:09:39Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ...What a jerk.
22:09:40Julen says: [Gnomish] Goblins...
22:09:47Duerma says: [Gnomish] Man, I had no idea it'd be such an ordeal! Geesh!
22:09:54Nellardy says: [Gnomish] What goblin was that? I'll stop doing business with that crook!
22:10:05Imble says: [Gnomish] But! Now I have it. Do you have everything it takes, Duerma?
22:10:18Priwiel says: [Gnomish] You shouldn't do business with goblins anyways. They are all crooked.
22:10:18Duerma says: [Gnomish] Remind me?
22:10:24Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Look at their racing team!
22:10:27Rixiel mutters something about extortion, and goblins being good at it.
22:10:28Bellenet pulls an apple out of her bag and begins to eat quietly. Soft crunches from her bites can be heard occasionally.
22:10:39Nellardy says: [Gnomish] I know a few good goblins! About...one and a half.
22:10:45Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Bunch of no good cheats...
22:10:45Duerma giggles at Nellardy.
22:10:59Duerma says: [Gnomish] And stealing our best engineering ideas, GOSH!
22:11:00You shrug. Who knows?
22:11:17Calsh says: [Gnomish] I've dealt with good and bad ones.
22:11:21Nellardy says: [Gnomish] There's this one in Ratchet, Armnistice Floyd. Always a good deal for me! You'd swear he's some sort of gnomish patriot in disguise!
22:11:24Nellardy lets out a hearty chuckle.
22:11:27Calsh says: [Gnomish] Same as any other race.
22:11:41Imble says: [Gnomish] Um... it looks like...
22:11:47Imble examines the schematic.
22:12:00Imble says: [Gnomish] ...dense blasting powder, deeprock salt and runecloth.
22:12:02Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Yeah... maybe. But the team at the Saltwater flats racing track are -horrible- cheats.
22:12:19Duerma looks in her bag and turns red.
22:12:38Priwiel says: [Gnomish] All I have on me is course stone.
22:12:41Priwiel says: [Gnomish] *coarse
22:12:43Duerma says: [Gnomish] Er. Crap. Um.
22:12:46Nellardy says: [Gnomish] No doubt. Cartel people...don't trust a goblin unless he's freelance! They rely too much on good PR.
22:12:50Rixiel lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
22:13:05Duerma says: [Gnomish] I have the blasting powder. But I forgot to buy everything else.
22:13:09Priwiel nods at Nellardy.
22:13:10Duerma cringes away from Imble.
22:13:28Duerma says: [Gnomish] If you make me a portal I can totally go get it like RIGHT NOW.
22:13:30Julen looks through her pouch.
22:13:31Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Give me the list! I will get them for you!
22:13:33Priwiel loudly sips her milk
22:13:42Imble says: [Gnomish] Well... why don't I go get it, and you can bring me back?
22:13:48Priwiel says: [Gnomish] What do you need all that junk for?
22:13:56Imble says: [Gnomish] A surprise!
22:13:58Imble grins.
22:13:59Duerma says: [Gnomish] There's that, at least!
22:14:29Duerma says: [Gnomish] I am so, so, so, seriously sorry.
22:14:34Dougie hmms as he pulls a notepad out of his back, flipping through a few pages.
22:14:37Imble says: [Gnomish] I'll go get a couple of things, it won't take two minutes.
22:14:53Duerma nods at Imble.
22:14:53Imble says: [Gnomish] I'll be right back!
22:14:53Priwiel leans over looking at what Dougie is flipping through.
22:15:07Priwiel siiiiiiips.
22:15:19Bellenet gets up, still eating her apple and wanders off, looking at the enviroment.
22:15:24Calsh turns away again and takes a sip of his own.
22:15:26Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Whaaatcha looking at?
22:15:29Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
22:15:30You feel a little tipsy from the Fiery Festival Brew.
22:15:32Duerma says: [Gnomish] Um. Kay. So! Anyways! I wanted to poll you people about possible discussion topics! I came up with some of my own, but being gnomes, we're ALL clever, so-
22:15:37Calsh coughs.
22:15:38Rixiel peers at you searchingly.
22:15:42Dougie seems to be just engineering notes and diagrams, writing down a few more things, "Hmm..definately something explosive.."
22:15:45Calsh says: [Gnomish] 'scuse me.
22:16:04Duerma 's daughter just blinks at her mother.
22:16:11Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ...
22:16:14Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Mid-sentence? That's new!
22:16:19Nellardy pokes Duerma. Hey!
22:16:20Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Hey!
22:16:23Duerma says: [Gnomish] Eeep!
22:16:38Bellenet throws her apple core into the water.
22:16:39Priwiel blinks as Spackle climbs from her bag.
22:16:41Duerma says: [Gnomish] Gah! Sorry! Where was I?
22:16:45Duerma says: [Gnomish] OH!
22:16:45Rixiel says: [Gnomish] Topics.
22:16:50Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Sssh.
22:17:05Duerma says: [Gnomish] Yeah! Topics of discussion! Anyone have any clever ideas?
22:17:18Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ..Hmm...
22:17:28Rixiel says: [Gnomish] New and original ways to discipline disobedient students.
22:17:29Bellenet continues to look around, smiling to herself.
22:17:29Duerma says: [Gnomish] I can keep us going for a bit, but I want to hear your ideas too!
22:17:37Priwiel says: [Gnomish] A potion to grow hair for male gnomes!
22:17:39Bellenet says: [Gnomish] Ideas for what?
22:17:45Duerma says: [Gnomish] Discussion topics!
22:17:45Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Has it been developed yet?
22:17:49Priwiel peers at you searchingly.
22:17:56Bellenet says: [Gnomish] Umm..
22:17:59Bellenet says: [Gnomish] Morality?
22:18:03You cough at Priwiel.
22:18:15Bellenet leans down and picks up some grass.
22:18:20Dougie says: [Gnomish] The supposed law of the convervation of energy?
22:18:28Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Lend a hand folks!
22:18:31You feel sober again.
22:18:34Duerma says: [Gnomish] Morality is a good one, but it's kinda broad!
22:18:53Bellenet says: [Gnomish] Uiversal laws of morality.
22:18:59Bellenet says: [Gnomish] *universal
22:19:08Bellenet kneels down.
22:19:20Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Wow... that sounds boring
22:19:20Duerma says: [Gnomish] That could be interesting.
22:19:29Rixiel says: [Gnomish] Yes, well, the problem with moral codes is that they tend to be specifically tailored to the individual...
22:19:44Duerma cheers at Fizzlespark!
22:19:46Bellenet blinks at Fizzlespark.
22:19:48Fizzlespark greets Duerma warmly.
22:19:50Nellardy salutes Fizzlespark with respect.
22:20:00Calsh says: [Gnomish] How about... "just because I'm shorter than you doesn't mean I'm a genius with machines, so please stop asking me to fix things?"
22:20:02Calsh mutters.
22:20:27Duerma says: [Gnomish] Heh. That could work.
22:20:29Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Well that doesn't sound like something -I'd- say...
22:20:36Nellardy says: [Gnomish] But I suppose it -is- a problem!
22:20:48Julen says: [Gnomish] Um... What about the consistancy in Trogg reinforcements within the City?
22:20:49Nellardy says: [Gnomish] That falls under the category of semi-positive racism doesn't it?
22:20:59You shrug at Nellardy. Who knows?
22:21:27Nellardy says: [Gnomish] That's a good one!
22:21:30Nellardy nods at Julen.
22:21:30Duerma says: [Gnomish] Trogg reinforcments is a serious problem...
22:21:31Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
22:21:52Rixiel says: [Gnomish] Arguably as serious as narcolepsy...
22:21:57Bellenet puts an apple on a stick and coats with a a dark substance. She walks over to the fire and begins to slowly cook it.
22:21:59Rixiel peers at Duerma searchingly.
22:22:03Julen says: [Gnomish] And the lepers. Every time someone ousts one Thermaplug, another crazy leper starts calling himself Thermaplug in his place!
22:22:13Calsh chucks a pebble at Duerma's leg.
22:22:32Nellardy says: [Gnomish] That -is- problematic. Wasn't someone looking for a way to cure them?
22:22:55Priwiel says: [Gnomish] I heard a spray was being developed.
22:22:58Dougie says: [Gnomish] Togglevolt? Hadn't made any progress last I heard..
22:23:15Rixiel mumbles something about a "universal cure."
22:23:31Bellenet pulls back her roasted chocolate apple, smiling as she takes a bite.
22:23:36Priwiel says: [Gnomish] I heard about it being dropped from Gyrocopters.
22:23:49Julen says: [Gnomish] But... what about those underneath? Inside the city?
22:23:51Priwiel says: [Gnomish] On the outside forces..
22:23:59Priwiel shrugs. Who knows?
22:24:04Priwiel says: [Gnomish] S'all I heard!
22:24:11Duerma says: [Gnomish] Wow, that's a ton, Imble!
22:24:21Nellardy says: [Gnomish] We can probably prepare some sort of canon-based injector! Give'em a good splash!
22:24:34Imble says: [Gnomish] I know! I hope they're good! I don't even know what they do, I've never seen one.
22:24:41Duerma says: [Gnomish] If we made it airborne, we could send it through the vents.
22:25:01Imble starts removing armor, since she's just been in the jungle and stuff.
22:25:19Priwiel nods.
22:25:22Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Well we'd have to cut off whatever is still creating that gas down there first...it's still blowing out the sides of the mountain!
22:25:30Duerma says: [Gnomish] UGH yeah!
22:25:44Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Personally...
22:25:55Priwiel says: [Gnomish] I think it'd be better if we started over.
22:26:04You nod at Priwiel.
22:26:10Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Got everyone we could out, and then blew it up.
22:26:18Priwiel says: [Gnomish] That'd stop the trogg problem.
22:26:22Rixiel says: [Gnomish] I like this plan.
22:26:30Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Hmm....well I -do- love pyric solutions...
22:26:35Calsh says: [Gnomish] Don't know that blowing it up is necessary. But starting over makes sense to me.
22:26:37Rixiel says: [Gnomish] Kill them all, start over.
22:26:38Julen says: [Gnomish] Round up the lepers and contain them in quarentine?
22:26:47Priwiel nods.
22:26:50Dougie says: [Gnomish] Yeah..we can't leave in Tinker Town forever..
22:26:52Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Those we could safely get.
22:26:55Dougie says: [Gnomish] (( *live ))
22:26:57Nellardy says: [Gnomish] No way! Remember the orc camp? Quarantine that large costs a fortune!
22:27:07Julen says: [Gnomish] Hmm..
22:27:11Duerma says: [Gnomish] That was one topic I was tihnking of! Should we keep working on reclaiming Gnomeregan, or should we support the new settlements like Toshley's station?
22:27:34Imble says: [Gnomish] Oh, I *love* Toshley's Station!
22:27:37Fizzlespark says: [Gnomish] Maybe we could find a nice piece of property on the beach somewhere...
22:27:39Calsh says: [Gnomish] New settlements. In *warm* places. With oceans.
22:27:40Nellardy nods at Imble.
22:27:43Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Some place on Azeroth wold be preferable.
22:27:44Calsh says: [Gnomish] Yes! Beaches.
22:27:51Julen agrees with Priwiel.
22:27:57Imble says: [Gnomish] I mean... the areas around it aren't that nice... but it's perfect for work.
22:28:05Dougie says: [Gnomish] Yeah, I would think Gnomekind would want something less off-world..and with a reliable transporter..
22:28:06Calsh mutters something about lack of oceans at the end of a continent being unnatural.
22:28:08Dougie grumbles..
22:28:10Duerma grins widely at the idea of beaches.
22:28:23Julen says: [Gnomish] You know...
22:28:40Priwiel says: [Gnomish] It'd beat Dun Morogh.
22:28:44Julen says: [Gnomish] The goblins aren't the only ones who can build cities in the desert. What about Steamwheedle?
22:28:47Priwiel says: [Gnomish] I neer did like snow.
22:28:51Priwiel says: [Gnomish] *never
22:28:53Julen says: [Gnomish] Or along that beach.
22:29:14Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Troggs don't like beaches I bet!
22:29:15Calsh says: [Gnomish] I think that's going too far to the other extreme. Too *warm* there.
22:29:21Duerma says: [Gnomish] Steamwheedle'd be great. Except we'd totally have to clear out all the pirates.
22:29:25Nellardy says: [Gnomish] You know, our digging team got a lot of experience making the Tram. We -could- build under the ocean!
22:29:32Duerma blinks.
22:29:32Rixiel looks thoughtful for a moment, then stands.
22:29:34Nellardy says: [Gnomish] I think...
22:29:36Bellenet brushes her robe off.
22:29:39Rixiel says: [Gnomish] Excuse me for just a few moments...
22:29:42Bellenet says: [Gnomish] I have business to do.
22:29:43Bellenet waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!
22:29:48Dougie says: [Gnomish] Not if Loch Modan is any indication..
22:29:48Calsh looks over at Rixiel.
22:29:48Nellardy nods at Bellenet.
22:29:51Julen waves goodbye to Bellenet. Farewell!
22:29:53Duerma says: [Gnomish] Oh! Thanks for coming!
22:30:12Calsh says: [Gnomish] Under the ocean wouldn't be good for fishing, though.
22:30:17Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Do we really want to live like Naga?
22:30:27Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Well we could have transporters to platforms on the surface...
22:30:31Dougie says: [Gnomish] Can't throw a lemon-wrapped brick out there without hitting one..
22:30:32Priwiel says: [Gnomish] You know what would be great?
22:30:37Calsh says: [Gnomish] Unless we made liberal use of water breathing potions and just... attacked fish?
22:30:38Priwiel says: [Gnomish] That Draenei technology!
22:30:44Priwiel says: [Gnomish] We could have a place in the sky.
22:30:46Calsh makes a face.
22:30:51Priwiel lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
22:30:56Duerma says: [Gnomish] Like... Nagrand?
22:30:59Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Hmm...I -have- been dreaming of a flying workshop for a while...
22:31:06Imble looks at Nellardy.
22:31:11Priwiel says: [Gnomish] I heard that their place used to fly once.
22:31:23Imble says: [Gnomish] ..do you really think that below the ocean could work?
22:31:31Imble says: [Gnomish] Or maybe choose a lake?
22:31:41Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
22:31:51Priwiel says: [Gnomish] No pesky land disputes, anyone messes with us we can just move...
22:32:01Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Well the advantage with the ocean floor is that outside of nagas, nobody could push us out again!
22:32:03Julen says: [Gnomish] There's a lot of unclaimed land on Kalimdor...
22:32:21Priwiel says: [Gnomish] That is true.
22:32:23Dougie says: [Gnomish] Eh..don't tell that to a Tauren..
22:32:26Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Mulgore is nice.
22:32:27Nellardy says: [Gnomish] I don't know if I want to live that close to orcish and Tauren lands...
22:32:41Imble says: [Gnomish] That's true too... maybe in Nagrand? The lakes, the animals, and Shattrath close by?
22:32:43Duerma 's daughter beats on Duermas chest.
22:32:46Calsh says: [Gnomish] Though maybe if we were looking to move underwater, we may want to make use of that etherial dome technology to make it a little more... inviting.
22:32:47Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Aww! but Tauren are cuddly.
22:32:49Dougie says: [Gnomish] And whatever places they aren't..doesn't look like any place I'd want to live either.
22:32:50Duerma says: [Gnomish] OW, Wynni!
22:33:03Priwiel giggles.
22:33:08Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Who wants to move to Felwood?!
22:33:14Priwiel laughs.
22:33:19Duerma says: [Gnomish] Yick!
22:33:22Dougie says: [Gnomish] Or Silithus..feh..
22:33:26Julen says: [Gnomish] ...what about Hyjal?
22:33:33Priwiel says: [Gnomish] All the bugs we can eat!
22:33:38Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Wouldn't the Night elves take offense?
22:33:42Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Or in that case, tainted blood!
22:33:44Julen says: [Gnomish] Why?
22:33:49Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Mmm Archimonde...
22:33:51Julen says: [Gnomish] They're not using it. Far as they say.
22:33:53Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Goes down smooth.
22:33:53Duerma says: [Gnomish] Hyjal is pretty... but yeah there's that... and there really are a ton of demons living there still.
22:34:02Julen says: [Gnomish] Are there still demons?
22:34:07Duerma says: [Gnomish] Oh yeah, tons!
22:34:08Dougie says: [Gnomish] Hyjal? is there anything left?
22:34:12Julen says: [Gnomish] We could always run them out!
22:34:14Priwiel says: [Gnomish] I heard there was also a big stinking corpse.
22:34:20Calsh stands
22:34:29Julen says: [Gnomish] I mean... we're going to have to clear out wherever we go, anyway, right?
22:34:30Calsh says: [Gnomish] Back to that flying city idea, though... what if, instead of a flying city, we did a floating city?
22:34:30Duerma says: [Gnomish] And the dragonflights have some kind of operation going on up there, too.
22:34:39Priwiel nods at you.
22:34:51Calsh says: [Gnomish] Anchor it off the shore somewhere.
22:34:57Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Floating city, no muss, no fuss, no clearing of anything.
22:35:12Nellardy says: [Gnomish] I like the floating city idea! Combines the ocean and air projects! Maybe make it submersible for quick escapes?
22:35:12Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Unless a harpy or a druid gets stuck in our propellers.
22:35:14Calsh says: [Gnomish] And just have a ferry service.
22:35:15Dougie says: [Gnomish] Imble? Haven't you been to Hyjal?
22:35:33Calsh says: [Gnomish] Why have propellers?
22:35:41Calsh says: [Gnomish] Just let it float in one place.
22:35:45Calsh says: [Gnomish] Somewhere nice.
22:35:52Priwiel says: [Gnomish] With a view.
22:36:05Julen says: [Gnomish] I could go for that!
22:36:20Priwiel says: [Gnomish] We could have cannons strapped to the side! in case anyone tries to mess with New Gnomergan!
22:36:30Calsh says: [Gnomish] Maybe off the east coast... like well east of Loch Modan?
22:36:57Imble says: [Gnomish] Um.... I have, once... only once. I went back with Aurorawind to rescue Trinixia.
22:36:58Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Our city would be a bajillion times better then stupid old Iron Forge...
22:37:01Duerma says: [Gnomish] Be nice and safe from Nagas and Pirates!
22:37:02You smile at Imble.
22:37:04Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Yes, far way from that maelstrom.
22:37:20Imble says: [Gnomish] ...but.. hmmm. Where would it be? Put a floating city off where?
22:37:46Calsh says: [Gnomish] I'd definitely say the east-central coast of this continent.
22:38:05Calsh says: [Gnomish] Relatively secluded, but not *too* far away if we managed to get gryphon service.
22:38:13Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
22:38:15Fizzlespark says: [Gnomish] What if we just floated it right over Ironforge? That'd show those stuffy old dwarves.
22:38:17Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Isn't that coast pretty stormy?
22:38:27Priwiel claps excitedly for Fizzlespark.
22:38:30Calsh says: [Gnomish] Is it?
22:38:30Duerma says: [Gnomish] Oh! like, off the coast of the Hinterlands or something!
22:38:49Calsh says: [Gnomish] Well, maybe a bit further south so as not to bother the Horde outpost there.
22:38:49Priwiel says: [Gnomish] We could float right over Stormwind.
22:38:51Priwiel grins wickedly.
22:39:05Calsh says: [Gnomish] By "floating," I meant on the water.
22:39:06You smile at Imble.
22:39:10You smile.
22:39:14Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Awww.
22:39:22Duerma says: [Gnomish] We'd have to make sure we don't look like a nexropolis if we were in the air. I bet people are still really touchy about that.
22:39:23Priwiel sticks her tongue out.
22:39:29Calsh says: [Gnomish] Exactly.
22:39:35Imble says: [Gnomish] Maybe close to Southshore?
22:39:56Julen says: [Gnomish] Here's a question... Would we want to use magic or technology to keep it afloat?
22:39:56Priwiel says: [Gnomish] What are they going to do? Show up fourty at a time to hurl fireballs at us...
22:40:08Calsh says: [Gnomish] Technology?
22:40:15Calsh says: [Gnomish] Just make it like a gargantuan boat?
22:40:17Duerma says: [Gnomish] I'd say we should build several redundant systems based on multiple power sources!
22:40:18Priwiel says: [Gnomish] A combination of the two would be our best bet.
22:40:27Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Machines definately. We don't want any problems like Dalaran had.
22:40:28Julen nods.
22:40:43Julen says: [Gnomish] A little of both would do fine for me. So long as it's not entirely magic.
22:40:53Dougie says: [Gnomish] Yeah..some kind of magi-tech would work the best likely.
22:41:03Nellardy says: [Gnomish] That would paint us as a big target for demons and other nasty things from the Nether!
22:41:10Calsh says: [Gnomish] Why have it fly at all?
22:41:24Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Flying looks neater.
22:41:27Priwiel nods.
22:41:28Dougie nods at Priwiel.
22:41:30Julen says: [Gnomish] Hmm...
22:41:35Julen says: [Gnomish] Though if it flies...
22:41:37Nellardy says: [Gnomish] A whole city though?
22:41:39Calsh says: [Gnomish] And more likely that something goes wrong.
22:41:39Julen says: [Gnomish] ...it can be knocked down.
22:41:46Calsh nods at Julen.
22:42:00Julen says: [Gnomish] What if it floated on the surface of the water?
22:42:01Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Good point. That would be even worse than troggs!
22:42:07Calsh says: [Gnomish] That's what I meant!
22:42:08Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Well at least if that happened we wouldn't have to worry about leapers.
22:42:08You smile.
22:42:17Calsh says: [Gnomish] Just essentially make it a monolithic boat.
22:42:18Duerma says: [Gnomish] Right. We don't want something that will kill us all again.
22:42:22Calsh says: [Gnomish] A floating city.
22:42:23Fizzlespark creates: Heavy Netherweave Bandage.
22:42:27Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Oooh but someone could sink us!
22:42:32Julen says: [Gnomish] Not if we do it smart!
22:42:56Julen says: [Gnomish] Make dozens, maybe hundreds of seperate pontoon chambers!
22:43:04Julen says: [Gnomish] So no one or fifty holes could sink it
22:43:11Dougie says: [Gnomish] I think the point is, no matter where we built, or what, there's always some element of danger.
22:43:17Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Hmm...Make it many satelite cities with bridge between them! So if they -do- sink us, they can only sink one part at a time!
22:43:18Julen nods at Dougie.
22:43:29Calsh says: [Gnomish] Like Thunder Bluff?
22:43:31Calsh says: [Gnomish] Only on water?
22:43:41Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Right! Except with canons to counter while they try to sink us!
22:43:46Calsh says: [Gnomish] Just have a web of floating islands.
22:43:51Nellardy nods.
22:43:53Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ...
22:43:53Calsh says: [Gnomish] With bridges.
22:44:05Priwiel says: [Gnomish] What... what about the gnomes that get seasick?
22:44:26Julen says: [Gnomish] Oh the city (or islands) would be large enough that you wouldn't even notice the waves!
22:44:38Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Exactly!
22:44:38Fizzlespark says: [Gnomish] We'll install lots of drains too, so you can just hose the place down if it gets dirty.
22:44:40Priwiel nods.
22:44:49Julen nods at Fizzlespark.
22:44:56Calsh says: [Gnomish] We'd of course need a navy for defense.
22:45:12Priwiel gently pats Yellow Moth.
22:45:33Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Hmm...
22:45:37Julen says: [Gnomish] ...that's something I hadn't considered.
22:45:40Duerma says: [Gnomish] HUGE Turrets with cannons along the sides!
22:45:47Julen nods at Duerma.
22:46:05Julen says: [Gnomish] Also, let's not power things with radioactive reactors this time...
22:46:06Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Too bad no one has the funding to make a new gnomergan.
22:46:17Calsh says: [Gnomish] Well, the good thing about this design...
22:46:24Calsh says: [Gnomish] It can be done one island at a time.
22:46:31Calsh says: [Gnomish] Rather than having to spend all the money up front.
22:46:49Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
22:46:56Calsh says: [Gnomish] We'd have to get funding for the first few islands, but if they were successful...
22:47:05Calsh tosses another pebble at Duerma.
22:47:13Priwiel nods.
22:47:17Duerma says: [Gnomish] Ack!
22:47:27Calsh says: [Gnomish] ... if they were successful, it probably wouldn't be hard to get funding or labor to build more.
22:47:35Calsh says: [Gnomish] Either through taxes or donations or whatnot.
22:48:03Calsh says: [Gnomish] Basically, the first few islands would be a chance to prove that it works...
22:48:13Calsh says: [Gnomish] And as the city grows, we can always just add more islands!
22:48:18Calsh says: [Gnomish] To suit the population.
22:48:37Nellardy claps excitedly for you.
22:48:39Duerma says: [Gnomish] I think we'd want to have the schematics reviewed and re-reviewed... We want people to think it's safe from the very beginning.
22:48:39Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Excellent plan!
22:48:41Imble says: [Gnomish] That sounds like it wouldn't require magical adaptation to hold it up...
22:48:52Calsh nods at Imble.
22:48:55Nellardy says: [Gnomish] You don't need to need magic to use it.
22:48:58Nellardy lets out a hearty chuckle.
22:49:01Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ...We'll really want a clean fuel source.
22:49:08Julen says: [Gnomish] Like steam?
22:49:09Imble says: [Gnomish] But some protective spells from the weather and the ocean would make a difference.
22:49:25Calsh says: [Gnomish] That's not my area of expertise.
22:49:38Imble says: [Gnomish] Well, the technology for steam is already here.
22:49:38Calsh says: [Gnomish] But I'm sure there's a way that could help.
22:49:44Julen says: [Gnomish] Steam would be clean, and we'd have plenty of water, provided we can desalinify it.
22:49:45Imble says: [Gnomish] It would just need a bigger scale.
22:50:00Calsh says: [Gnomish] As I said, I'm not a mechanic.
22:50:23Duerma says: [Gnomish] Well, in creating the steam, it'd separate the water from the salt, and we could sell the salt to help our economy!
22:50:30Julen says: [Gnomish] Good point!
22:50:36Imble says: [Gnomish] A simple distillation process would work, and if we siphoned the byproduct of the steam generator carefully, it would provide drinkable water too.
22:50:41Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Desalinization?
22:51:05Priwiel scratches her head.
22:51:38Dougie says: [Gnomish] It's where you take the salt out of saltwater.
22:51:51Imble nods at Dougie.
22:51:54Rixiel says: [Gnomish] Try and keep up.
22:52:03Julen frowns with disappointment at Rixiel.
22:52:12Imble says: [Gnomish] Right. We don't want to drink salt water, and pure water would work better for a steam engine.
22:52:31Dougie nods at Imble.
22:52:53Julen says: [Gnomish] I like the idea of having an export also. Everyone uses salt.
22:53:27Priwiel says: [Gnomish] It goes good on pretzels.
22:53:34Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ..
22:53:38Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Well it -does-
22:53:41Julen nods at Priwiel.
22:53:55Julen says: [Gnomish] Not to mention curing leather, and preserving food...
22:54:08Rixiel says: [Gnomish] I like the pretzel idea better.
22:54:48Priwiel ponders the situation.
22:55:14Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Well if someone is willing to make a schematic, you could always bring it to High Tinkerer do-nothing.
22:55:29Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Tell him we should stop living off the dwarves!
22:55:30Duerma giggles at Priwiel.
22:55:31Rixiel says: [Gnomish] Yes, so he can...do nothing?
22:55:39Rixiel mutters to herself.
22:55:48Priwiel shrugs. Who knows?
22:55:54Dougie says: [Gnomish] He doesn't 'do nothing'! He just..tinkers...alot..
22:55:59Duerma says: [Gnomish] I swear, Pri, you and Pizzy have GOT to talk.
22:56:22Imble has been sitting thoughtfully.
22:56:57Imble says: [Gnomish] You know...
22:56:57Calsh says: [Gnomish] Did we decide on where the best place to locate it would be?
22:57:01Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Hmm.. well either way we need funding and support,,,
22:57:04Calsh looks over at Imble.
22:58:10Terantor blinks.
22:58:15Imble says: [Gnomish] ...locating the engine in the center of the city would allow easy distribution of power, as well as reducing heat loss.. there would only be the noise of the boiler, and there always was in Gnomeregan anyway.
22:58:16Priwiel blinks at Terantor.
22:58:18Terantor peers around, searchingly.
22:58:20Nellardy eyes Terantor up and down.
22:58:24Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Hey, who ordered an elf?
An elf appears
22:58:27Dougie says: [Gnomish] Elf?
22:58:30Nellardy says: [Gnomish] He's not mine!
22:58:32Julen peers at Terantor searchingly.
22:58:36Terantor lets out a hacking cough.
22:58:37Julen shrugs. Who knows?
22:58:37Terantor apologizes to everyone. Sorry!
22:58:39Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
22:58:46Priwiel giggles at Terantor.
22:58:56Terantor introduces himself to everyone.
22:58:57Terantor bows down graciously.
22:59:07Priwiel blinks at Terantor.
22:59:07Fizzlespark waves goodbye to Terantor. Farewell!
22:59:18Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Well that was...odd?
22:59:34Dougie says: [Gnomish] I thought elves didn't get lost..
22:59:36Dougie shrugs. Who knows?
22:59:41Priwiel says: [Gnomish] The blue ones.
22:59:51Priwiel says: [Gnomish] The short ones are addicted to magic.
22:59:54Priwiel laughs.
22:59:55Rixiel says: [Gnomish] Yes, introduce yourself and *then* leave. Elves still have the worst etiquette, I see...
23:00:01Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Can you believe it.
23:00:04Rixiel descends into muttering again.
23:00:19Julen says: [Gnomish] Maybe he was a scout...
23:00:27Julen peers over to where he was thoughtfully.
23:00:44Imble says: [Gnomish] ..I wonder... we'd have to locate it... does anyone remember the fellow who was diving near Theramore? Maybe he could run some tests for us, with the local currents...
23:00:56Rixiel says: [Gnomish] If he were a scout, it would be unlikely that he'd make himself visible like that.
23:01:00Julen says: [Gnomish] That's a good idea!
23:01:05Julen nods at Imble.
23:01:13Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Theramore?
23:01:15Calsh says: [Gnomish] Unless he was a very bad scout.
23:01:18Priwiel says: [Gnomish] That place is ugly!
23:01:24Priwiel says: [Gnomish] And depressing!
23:01:36Rixiel says: [Gnomish] More than likely a random interloper, unworth the time and effort required to think a thought about.
23:01:44Imble says: [Gnomish] ..because we'd have to locate with the water currents in mind. Maybe we could use the motion of the water to generate more power... or the wind...
23:02:31Priwiel says: [Gnomish] But not Theramore...
23:02:32Imble says: [Gnomish] ...no.. that wouldn't work.. wind reduction wouldn't.. but then.. maybe use the steam pistons..
23:02:37Nellardy shakes Duermas' arm.
23:02:52Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ...She isn'
23:02:57Priwiel says: [Gnomish] *isn't dead is she?
23:03:09Imble says: [Gnomish] Hmmm? No, not Theramore... but there was a diver there, and his equipment might help, but it wouldnt work anyway.
23:03:17Nellardy says: [Gnomish] How would I know? I'm a mechanic, not a doctor!
23:03:34Priwiel pokes Duerma. Hey!
23:03:39Priwiel pokes Duerma. Hey!
23:03:44Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ...Yep, still alive.
23:03:53Calsh says: [Gnomish] She's breathing.
23:04:07Imble is scribbling notes.
23:04:45Imble says: [Gnomish] ...if we.. I wonder..
23:05:02Imble glances back toward Stormwind.
23:05:13Imble says: [Gnomish] ..um... hmmm..
23:05:32Calsh says: [Gnomish] Hm?
23:06:21Imble says: [Gnomish] ..I think maybe I should head back.. this is making me think, and I want to go back to the shop.
23:06:36Priwiel waves at Imble.
23:06:40Calsh says: [Gnomish] It's making you think? You actually ever stop thinking?
23:06:45Calsh chuckles jokingly.
23:06:54Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ...I do!
23:06:58Priwiel says: [Gnomish] It is very relaxing.
23:07:07Imble says: [Gnomish] Well... I mean thinking about this..
23:07:11You smile at Imble.
23:07:13Calsh says: [Gnomish] I know.
23:07:14Imble says: [Gnomish] ...it's a big project.
23:07:16Calsh says: [Gnomish] Just teasing you.
23:07:59Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
23:08:17Priwiel says: [Gnomish] I got a live one!
23:08:22Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Or not!
23:08:22Julen blinks at Shagrain.
23:08:26Julen says: [Gnomish] Um...
23:08:29Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Hey, its a big blue thing~
23:08:39Priwiel says: Are ya lost?
23:08:41Rixiel glances at Shagrain and cringes reflexively.
23:08:50Shagrain says: Please do not mind me! I was aksed to bring dancing!
23:08:55Priwiel says: ...
23:09:01Priwiel says: Someone ordered a stripper?
23:09:06Priwiel cheers at Shagrain!
23:09:07Julen says: [Gnomish] I'm very confused.
23:09:08Dougie says: Bring..dancing?
23:09:12Imble scribbles a few more notes quickly and stands.
23:09:13Priwiel says: Take it off!
23:09:17Rixiel lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
23:09:25Dougie blinks at Priwiel.
23:09:31Thornidy greets everyone warmly.
23:09:34Duerma says: [Gnomish] Oh, he's got one of those fiery draenei chicks in a bottle!
23:09:35Julen waves at Thornidy.
23:09:38Duerma waves at Thornidy.
23:09:39Imble says: [Gnomish] It was nice to meet you all.. um.. Duerma, I'm going to head back. Thanks for inviting us!
23:09:40Duerma says: [Gnomish] Hiya!
23:09:45Priwiel says: Awww!
23:09:48Shagrain says: Eh...not so much no. An elemental representation. Then I will make myself scarce.
23:09:52Nellardy salutes Imble with respect.
23:09:52Duerma says: [Gnomish] Oh for sure! Thank you SO MUCH for coming!
23:09:54Thornidy says: [Gnomish] I'm late!
23:10:03Priwiel waves goodbye to Imble. Farewell!
23:10:11Duerma says: A bit! But we're glad you are here now!
23:10:21Duerma says: And thanks for coming on out here, Shaggy!
23:10:30Shagrain says: Where should I set her down at?
23:10:30Thornidy eyes Shagrain up and down.
23:10:31Shagrain shrugs. Who knows?
23:10:36Priwiel says: Oo nice Gigaflux...
23:10:37Priwiel peers at Thornidy searchingly.
23:10:41Imble says: [Gnomish] Good night everyone!
23:10:57Imble says: [Gnomish] Duerma I'll let you know how.. um.. well, what I come up with.
23:11:02Dougie waves goodbye to Imble. Farewell!
23:11:02Thornidy says: [Gnomish] so umm.... whats going on?
23:11:15Imble waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!
23:11:16Duerma nods at Imble.
23:11:18Duerma says: Awesome!
23:11:21Duerma waves goodbye to Imble. Farewell!
23:11:28Priwiel says: Dancing I think... but not the without shirt kind.
23:11:59You smile at Dancing Flames.
23:12:00Rixiel eyes Dancing Flames up and down.
23:12:00Julen peers at Dancing Flames searchingly.
23:12:02Thornidy says: [Gnomish] ooohhhhh
23:12:02Priwiel says: ...
23:12:02Duerma bows before Dancing Flames.
23:12:05Priwiel says: What is that?!
23:12:15Duerma says: Dancing flames!
Gnomes around Dancing Flames
23:12:17Shagrain says: She has come to celebrate with you! Dance with her!
23:12:20Duerma says: Try dancing with it!
23:12:22Duerma cheers at Dancing Flames!
23:12:27Priwiel says: ....You first!
23:12:30Julen waves at Dancing Flames.
23:12:42Julen says: [Gnomish] Well...
23:12:45Julen dances with Dancing Flames.
23:12:46Duerma dances with Dancing Flames.
23:12:52Thornidy dances with Dancing Flames.
23:12:53Priwiel says: ...Its a trap!
23:12:58Thornidy says: ahhhh!!!!!
23:13:01Thornidy says: I'm on fire!!!
23:13:04Nellardy quietly snickers to himself.
23:13:08Julen says: [Gnomish] ...
23:13:10Shagrain says: No no! She is sharing!
Panic sets in
23:13:12Duerma glances at the others , then down at herself.
23:13:15Rixiel scoffs.
23:13:17Julen says: [Gnomish] What... is this, I wonder?
23:13:27Duerma says: Maybe my dress makes me immune to her magic?
23:13:31Priwiel hides inside her voidwalker. Who blushes and waves at the flame.
23:13:43Rixiel says: [Gnomish] Useless cantrips...
23:13:52Thornidy peers at Dancing Flames searchingly.
23:13:56Julen says: [Gnomish] I'm... so tall and sexy!
23:13:58Calsh moves away from the voidwalkers.
23:14:06Thornidy dances with Dancing Flames.
23:14:13Priwiel says: ...
23:14:17Duerma says: You are sexy as a gnome, Julen! Never forget that!
23:14:18Priwiel says: You aren't brainwashed?
23:14:31Julen says: [Gnomish] Not brainwashed, just...tall.
23:14:32Duerma tells a joke to Dancing Flames.
23:14:40Priwiel says: Weeeeird.
23:14:41Duerma waves at Dancing Flames.
23:14:46Thornidy says: that was strange
23:15:08Priwiel gently pats Hathkrast.
23:15:12Priwiel says: Okay Hath!
23:15:14Priwiel says: Thanks!
23:15:36Priwiel says: Well, that was scary!
23:15:45Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
23:15:51You poke Duerma. Hey!
23:16:02Priwiel says: So.. are there going to be more meetings like this?
23:16:04Duerma says: Eep!
23:16:12Duerma says: Oh yeah, TOTALLY!
23:16:26Thornidy says: Did I miss anything important?
23:16:29Duerma says: I'm leaving on vacation soon so I can't tell you exactly when the next one will be.
23:16:42Priwiel says: Plans for a new Gnomerga.
23:16:46Priwiel says: *gnomergan
23:16:49Duerma says: But I think it's important to keep gnomes in contact with one another!
23:16:55Julen agrees with Duerma.
23:17:17You nod at Duerma.
23:17:27Priwiel says: I have to admit... it has been difficult to keep tabs on where our people go.
23:17:27Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Top priority!
23:17:33Dougie nods.
23:17:48Duerma says: I mean, gosh, the last GCC is where Pizmo and I met! And lots of other great friendships too!
23:17:51Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ...I was living for a long time in the human orphanage.
23:18:13Priwiel says: [Gnomish] They didn't realize I wasn't a human for a few years...
23:18:25Duerma says: Really?
23:18:28Priwiel nods.
23:18:34Rixiel looks like she's about to say something, but bites her tongue.
23:18:34Priwiel says: [Gnomish] I wasn't going to protest.
23:18:38Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Free room and board!
23:18:55Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ...
23:19:02Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Sounds pretty horrible out loud.
23:19:12Priwiel blushes.
23:19:15You smile at Priwiel.
23:19:21Thornidy says: I live in the basement of the bar in Duskwood.
23:19:24Thornidy says: It's not that bad
23:19:29Thornidy says: Lots of room
23:19:35Rixiel says: [Gnomish] We all do as we must to live on.
23:19:50Priwiel nods.
23:20:13Priwiel says: [Gnomish] It was pretty hectic after gnomergan fell.
23:20:24Dougie nods.
23:20:27Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Me and my sister went to Stormwind instead.
23:20:32Duerma says: Oh man, for sure. My brother and I had to live in tents outside Anvilmar for a long time.
23:20:35Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Iron Forge was pricy.
23:20:43Julen nods in general agreement.
23:20:46Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Eww!
23:20:55Dougie says: I lived in a Dwarf barracks while the war was going on..
23:20:56Priwiel says: [Gnomish] That'd suck gears!
23:21:14Thornidy says: I never lived in Gnomeregan, we couldn't afford it... turned out pretty good we lived on the surface in the end though.
23:21:59Duerma says: They let us move into Anvilmar after the first wave had cleared out. But yeah. So not very fun at all.
23:22:38Priwiel ponders the situation.
23:23:08Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Speaking of all that, I need to get home.
23:23:13Duerma says: Well, I'm not sure about you guys, but I need to get going. It's past Wynni's bed time.
23:23:22Priwiel nods.
23:23:24You nod.
23:23:31Calsh says: [Gnomish] To be honest, I shouldn't stay much longer myself.
23:23:32Julen says: [Gnomish] Thanks for inviting me, Duerma!
23:23:52Priwiel says: [Gnomish] It has been nice to meet with you all...
23:24:02Calsh says: [Gnomish] Absolutely.
23:24:04Duerma says: Stay tuned for when the next one will be! I'll advertise as soon as I know!
23:24:05Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Right right. Good times.
23:24:13Priwiel says: [Gnomish] It is nice to feel a little more connected.
23:24:14Rixiel mutters something that sounds vaguely like thanks.
23:24:22Priwiel smiles at Duerma.
23:24:26Duerma falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
23:24:26Dougie nods at Duerma.
23:24:26Thornidy says: ok....
23:24:42Thornidy obviously thinks everyone is leaving because he showed up
23:24:47You poke Duerma. Hey!
23:24:51Duerma says: Eeep!
23:24:54Priwiel gets out her hearth stone.
23:24:54Thornidy says: Have a good night then.
23:24:56Dougie says: I should probably be getting back to my duties too..
23:25:15Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Next time. I'll try to bring my sister.
23:25:17Julen presses a button on her belt buckle, causing all manner of Plate Armor to fold out of her back-satchel and onto her.
23:25:33Priwiel says: [Gnomish] ...
23:25:35Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Wow...
23:25:37Duerma says: Oh TROGG BALLS, I forgot the fireworks! And the contest!
23:25:46Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Contest?
23:25:47Duerma says: Next time! For sure!
23:25:51Julen says: [Gnomish] Contest?
23:25:53Duerma gasps at Thornidy.
23:25:53Nellardy says: [Gnomish] Right!
23:25:57Duerma says: That's awesome.
23:26:12Priwiel says: [Gnomish] Awww... but I need to go... dinner is getting cold!
23:26:15Duerma says: I'll announce it next time! People have already left!
23:26:16Priwiel waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!
23:26:18Dougie nods at Duerma.
23:26:20Thornidy waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!
23:26:21Priwiel pulls out her hearth stone.
23:26:22Dougie salutes Duerma with respect.
23:26:26Duerma says: K, homeward bound!
23:26:30Nellardy stands at attention and salutes.
23:26:34You wave goodbye to everyone. Farewell!
