From dannimal@engin.umich.eduWed Mar 8 11:51:58 1995 Date: Wed, 8 Mar 1995 11:46:03 -0500 (EST) From: Dann Fuller To: shadows@umich.edu Subject: Game Log 28 - Keep it in the Family We open with a large crowd of people who are headin off to Rebma in order to prepare for the wedding of Archi and Laughter. Archi trumps Martin, to ask him to be best man, forgetting that he had asked Ulysses to do that same thing not oo long ago. Good thing Ulysses likes Archi. (not in THAT way, fool) Archi begins to explain the whole fiasco to Martin, but he just doesn't want to know. Good for him. People go out to get Rebma-like attire for the wedding. Ulysses takes Sylvie shopping. Sadly, his good stuff is far less than Flora's, so he and Sylvie run into her at the clothing store, where she is trying to pour Sky into a corset. Sky looks non-plussed. Flora then proceeds to try to attire Sylvie in a similar manner, but Ulysses approves not of this decision. Little does he know how little it matters. The wedding happens. There is much rejoicing. Ulysses dances with Sylvie at the reception, Atreus and Melanie dance, Atreus steps on his tounge looking at Sky, Melanie steps on Atreu's feet as payback. He apologizes for his very un-Bleys-like behavior. Mok asks Sky to dance, and she accepts. After tha dance, Sylvie wants to go back to Arden to check on her pets. Ulysses gives her a Trump of Arden, and she's off. Archi and Laughter dance, and the first dance draws to a close. The second dance begins, Ulysses dances with Laughter at which point she tells him that the wedding rings have a magic to them, such that the wearer will always know where the other is. Ulysses wants no part of this if he were ever to marry. Archi is dancing with Beauty, and they discuss Hendrake dating, suitors, and Ulysses' visions of the future. A Rebmite girl, who is well endowed, asks Sandr to dance. Her name is Ceilia. Melanie and Merlin dance, and discuss death, rebirth, Brand, Chaos, and Archi's serpent tatoo. The third dance finds Archi and Melanie dancing, and discussing the job description of the Priestess of the Serpent. Archi is disheartened. The Rebman Ceilia dances with Cameron, and nobody (unfortunately) notices that nobody knows why she's here. Mok dances with Laughter, they discuss sequence, and shadow. Ceilia wants Cameron to take her to dinner. Ulysses dances with his mother, who constantly corrects his steps, which annoys him. Ceilia and Cameron exit, Ulysses goes to Arden to check on Sylvie. She is playing a flute in Arden. It is pointed out that jubal and Tianen both play the flute. Sylvie indicates that she wants to live in Arden, and that she's walked the pattern, because she offers to go get marshmellows. Ulysses makes Sylvie ask Jubal if she can live in Arden, and he grunts. Ulysses spends the night in Arden, to bond with his daughter. Cameron and Ceilia eat a romantic dinner of fish. They briefly discuss Sandr. Cameron displays his aquatic skill by drinking at dinner before going to see the reef. Sandr trumps Ulysses, who is talking with Sky, and is a little testy. Sandr bugs out, breaking the contact. Melanie and Bleys dance back at the reception and Bleys disses Sandr. Fiona asks Archi to dance. *gulp* They talk about the coming child(ren), Chaos, Laughter's dad, Mandor. Melanie and Sandr chat, and Sandr complains. Sandr and Melanie discuss playing the Amber game, and Mok and Sky talk of trips to Chaos. Cameron gets it on with Ceilia. Ulysses wakes up in the morning, and finds that Sylvie is gone. He Trumps her. She's in Rebma, naked. After much wrangling about whos and wheres, Ulysses discovers taht she slept with Cameron, and that Sylvie loves him. Ulysses is NOT happy. Melanie is talking to Merron, and he is pissed. Brand is trapped patternless and crazy in shadow. They talk about Shandril and Odemma, and the fact that Odemma is a shadow of Laughter. Cameron is awakened by Sylvie, who now looks 18. She wants to talk with him. She tells him her real name is Sylvester, and no, she isn't a guy. (Tianen's a real winner with names. I wonder how Melanie got off so easily. Maybe her real name is Melanaeus.) Cameron applauds her ingenuity, which means she takes after her mother. They talk about being mean, and she wants to know if it was good for him. Mok Trumps Sandr, but his puny mind isn't enough to get through. So, he tries to find him the old fashioned way, by using his good stuff. He eventually finds Sandr on a beach. They talk about Ulysses, and agree to meet for Breakfast. Laughter and Archi go to Amber, and at te Hotel, Archi begins to conjure things he;ll need on vacation. Fiona shows up and tells Laughter that Mandor is going to meet them later. Archi Trumps Ulysses, and the tale is related. Ulysses wants to go along, to vent, but Archi is wary. Ulysses goes to prepare Cameron tells Sylvie that he had fun, and would do it again. Sylvie wants to go with Laughter on her Chaos journey. Mok and Sandr get together for breakfast. Melanie finds Archi, but is in demon form. Archi is a little taken aback. Cameron and Sylvie discuss their mission, it's merits, and the general plan. Melanie and Archi discuss Mok, and his merits. Mok and Sandr discuss the misson, and Mok wants to go, Sandr wants to stay. Shandril Trumps Cameron, and the discuss transport methods. Cameron is to get (someone, Kris pointed out it's Sandr) to put the ring on. Sylvie Trumps Archi, asking is she and CAmeron can come along. Archi thinks bringing Cameron would be unwise, since Ulysses is going. He also thinks Ulysses would want Sylvie not to go. Sylvie borrows a Trump of her father, to beg. Mok Trumps Laughter, askig if "we" are going. She assents to Archi. Mok tries to sell himself on Archi, who isn;t too keen on the idea. Mok offers an Army, but reconsiders when Archi explains that they would likely all die. Then they discuss bringing Sandr, which Archi REALLY doesn;t like. Mok wants Archi and Sandr to talk. Archi asks Melanie to watch his body, in case Brain boy gets any ideas. Sylvie tries to get Ulysses to let her and Cameron to come along, he argues that his permission doesn't matter, since she'll go anyway. Cameron ditches, leaving a note for Sylvie. He trumps his mother, but she fights it. He fails. He eats the note he was/did leave. He leaves a different note, and trumps Lindell. She pulls him through. At the end of the session: Archi and Laughter are in Amber, preparing for the journey. Mok and Sandr are in Amber, preparing to tag along. Sandr has a laser. Ulysses is in Arden, wondering what he did wrong, but getting ready to yell at Cameron, and go to Chaos to vent. Cameron is with Lindell Melanie is with Archi Sky (?) is in bed. ______________________________________________________________________________ Dann Fuller Journ Tarmakk Prince Ulysses of Amber Mac/IBM Repair Chancellor, Eternal Ban Trump Artist, Alcoholic, CAEN Service Center Technicolor Conjuror Nymphomaniac, and all 313-763-5413 Eternal Citadel, Faerun around fun guy. --- dannimal@engin.umich.edu --- Golf, an relaxing break from the hassle of the rat race, constantly interrupted by an annoying little white ball. ______________________________________________________________________________
