    I actually put in the sextant purely for the humor value, and yes, Jahura is right, we were too distant from the Vikings for them to be of any help, if I recall. Besides, they were busy trying to dig a canal for their longboat. Or something.

    Anyway, regarding the cult: At one point, I considered that there might be a Nyrond plot operating in the background there, and that was how Tully got pulled into things. It was established way back that he would be away from the hotel for an indefinite period of time - years - on Nyrond "business" - which this might well have been. But as soon as he realized that the operation might run afoul of those he cared about, his own goal became to protect Marae and the hotel and its residents.

    My thoughts on the plot was that it involved the cult in some fashion: for fun, profit, and possibly giving them (or someone through them) comeuppance, not necessarily in that order. Toz would know only what the cult wanted him to know, and that knowledge might or might not be accurate; it certainly would not be complete. But as for details, I have been at pretty much a total loss.

    As to the exact nature of the plot, that would probably depend on which Nyrond engineered it, and Zander would have a far better idea than I about that. I was prepared to wing it, or if I couldn't figure it out well enough, drop it, but since Zander is now here (even if he has yet to find Now Here), I figure it won't hurt to lay all that information out there and see where it leads us.

    Regarding the vikings:

    Faerie magic being what it is, we can ignnore/forget the vikings for now, let them make it all the way to the sea, and have them show up in the bay next to the Hotel whenever we get it back. Just assume they found their way home, not realizing they made it through a Gate. Problem solved!

    Sounds perfect, Tora. Or purrfect, even.

    I seem to be missing an e-mail address or two that I used to have. Since my private messages are full (and not likely ever to be empty), it's probably best to e-mail me if you have my address. If you don't have it and want it, let me know; I think I can still *send* a private message.... Maybe I'll just try that.

    And no, it won't let me send any messages, either, so e-mail it is. Jahura, I'm still at the same address; Zander's got it if you've lost it. Shoot me a ping and I'll send you what I tried twice to send you. Thanks!

    Marae, I sent you a message through your LJ. I don't know if you still have notifications set to E-mail on that but my address is in there. Financial situation being what it is, we had to give up our phone and internet accounts, so the new address is through Gmail.
    I used to be a know-it-all. Then I made a wish...
    I wished to be happy instead of angry all the time.
    Then suddenly...
    I forgot it all.

    I finally managed to clear out my box. I downloaded and saved the messages that I wanted into XML and uploaded them into file storage, then deleted them off this server. If anyone else is interested in doing the same *coughMaraecough* I highly recommend minus.com for doing this. They offer 50 gig of free storage and sharing.

    Since the Vikings seem to be at loose ends at the moment, I hope you won't mind if I hijack them for a bit. My PMs are working once again so if you have do have any objections, just let me know. I also haven't been able to find the last post on my old friend Tianna, so I'll be taking her along as well.

    Actually, Toz and his group have re-united with the Vikings. Plus, I believe TOOO left some of his characters with the longboat crew. You might want to check with them before moving the Vikings to another Age or anything like that.

    I'm sure I could read between the lines,
    if only the lines themselves were a little clearer...

    I haven't seen Toz about the forum for about a couple weeks. Should we plow on into the werewolf stronghold without his guidance?
