::he watched the expresions of the different people and the monkey bable was lost to him but he kept quiet and not interupting anything as he looked for possible trouble sneaking up on them as they were all listening to the tales::

Branwen's Grace (Sep 1, 2011 11:59:57 PM)
So now you get to the modern day. Along comes mankind, with drills, and they begin to suck up these slumbering critters by the score. Millions of them... and they refine them into gasoline. Do you know that every refinery in the world is a great big bane slaying machine? it's true... but they liberate nearly as many or cause other problems... all that gas... all that pollution. I didn't know any of this in 1968 when Torrey Canyon ran aground, but I learned. I studied the banes,a nd what I saw scared me to my core.

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:02:38 AM)
The little ones? THey aren't alone. Nor are the big ones. When you take two little ones and mix them together, mix the crude oil, and wake up the bane, you get one that's twice as big. When you take a big one and separate it out into a bunch of little ones, you get a bunch of smaller banes when you wake them up. They are like that stupid fifties black and white movie, the blob, the more you put into it, the more ... mess... the bigger the bane is when it's woken up. *She looked around* As for the gator? We saw some animals mutate, if they were left exposed to the mess for long enough, they... turned into... some kind of animal fomori.

How did you stop them? *she looks nervous at all this talk of oil banes*

(brb)

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:07:58 AM)
Brute force. WE didn't know what we were up against, and they killed several of us. Finds the Lost Cubs was eager, he ran up to one and struck it with a klaive. The thing stepped on him, and he tried to swim out of the crude. By the time he got free of it the thing had melted his skin off and was dissolving his muscle and bone. I have never seen a garou so badly burned by chemicals. We stood back, picked at it for hours from a distance until it was smaller. We fought it in the umbra as well and finally we put fire to it. They do burn, and they get smaller as they do, but they still attack you, throwing great molten, flaming gobs of themselves as you, it's almost worse to set them ablaze...

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:08:22 AM)
Not to mention it makes it DAMN hard to maintain the veil.

Konrad Val`Dismouth (Sep 2, 2011 12:09:42 AM)
*he listened quietly still arms folded*

Akako Masako (Sep 2, 2011 12:10:04 AM)
*perked up for a moment* We've found that they are vulnerable to the effects of cold. It slows them down, weakens them. *glancing towards Branwen's Grace*

Tina Lorana (Sep 2, 2011 12:11:21 AM)
*listens to Akako*

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:11:51 AM)
*She thought about that.* I don't see why it would not. It was March when the Torrey Canyon ran aground, and the north sea in march is cold, but it doesn't snow here. It doesn't snow much in France where the oil wound up down there either, but the French septs had less trouble than we did... it's colder there. For whatever reason.

BTMSTS (Sep 2, 2011 12:13:05 AM)
::he slowly got up and moved away from the ape babble as he took in everything and well just patrolling the area some ::

Akako Masako (Sep 2, 2011 12:13:49 AM)
*nodded briefly* well, I suppose we've really only tried it on the smaller ones, that we found inside the oil barrels...

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 12:14:44 AM)
*She held her head as she wrote, resisting the urge to sniffle and doing well enough to maintain her bearing. The story moved her.*

Tina Lorana (Sep 2, 2011 12:14:45 AM)
Would .....loading these things down with say a cement powder mix work?

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:15:06 AM)
*Elizabeth nodded* Listen, these things, they pollute deep and they seep into the ground and the ground water... if they get close, just within a few MILES of your sept, they can wreak havic, kill the heart of a caern months and even years later...

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:15:24 AM)
And no, they are insoluble in water and they won't cause cement to cure.

Akako Masako (Sep 2, 2011 12:16:07 AM)
*frowned* Is there any way to cleanse the taint they leave behind? Like a rite, or... maybe... with the assistance of several spirits?

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 12:16:52 AM)
*She suggested gently.* What if there were an environmentally friendly solution? Perhaps oil from lemon and orange peels? Would that break down the material considerably?

Tina Lorana (Sep 2, 2011 12:19:56 AM)
*ponders*

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:20:41 AM)
We never tried solvents. I don't know if that would work or not. I just don't know. AS for cleansing, the problem is... these things.... wait. *She got up and walked back into her kitchen, then back out a moment later and handed a simple, 2 inch square rock to Rowan* Pass that around. Here's the problem, this is oil bearing rock. That rock, in your hand, has oil in it. THat's what the oil companies are looking for.* Meanwhile, in yoru hand, it looked vaguely like a piece of marble, and she hadn't told you, you would NEVER have guessed there was oil in it.* The problem is cleaning it at all. These things, they are used to being dissolved, sleeping away eternity as a dream in a piece of porous rock under 50 thousand pounds of pressure per quare inch, They get into the ground rock, and they just... migrate, slowly, and when they get where they want to be, how would you cleanse *hundreds of thousand* ov cubic feet of oil? These banes... they get huge, and when they go underground, they get bigger. Nea

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:21:12 AM)
Near as we can tell the one that destroyed out caern was over two miles square, and hundreds of feet deep. How do you cleans an area that large and deep?

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 12:21:40 AM)
*She took the rock, passing it around, weighing it in her hand carefully.*

Akako Masako (Sep 2, 2011 12:22:20 AM)
*shrugged faintly* I.. I don't know. I just.. I assumed that... since you'd been around for awhile, maybe... you had discovered a rite.. or...developed one... to cleanse such a deep taint

Konrad Val`Dismouth (Sep 2, 2011 12:22:56 AM)
Fire..*he commented* lots of it

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 12:23:44 AM)
*he chewed his lip at the mention of the size*

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 12:24:06 AM)
*She shook her head a bit, mostly talking to herself.* Fire would fuel it even more...the heat would break it down, causing a smoke as well as a hot liquid that could spread, possibly...*She thought hard for a moment.*

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:24:29 AM)
*Elizabeth shook her head* I wish. I wish I could. I wish I had a way.

Tina Lorana (Sep 2, 2011 12:24:30 AM)
Not a great idea with oil involved. In Pensylvania theres a few old coal mines that were accidently set fire......well, they are still burning. As the fire follows the entire seam. The land around them....poisioned and useless due to an almost eternal underground fire humans can't cope with.

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:26:13 AM)
*Elizabeth sighed* What you have to do is keep them from getting large in the first place, keep them small, deal with them before then if you can... but most of all, you have to keep them from getting huge and getting set loose... I saw that spill, it was all over US news for a while, I hoped and prayed it didn't turn into another Torrey Canyon - you're equivalent... I see my prayers fell on deaf ears.

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:26:25 AM)
*She looked around* You said they are collecting this sludge?

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 12:26:30 AM)
*She perked up a bit.* Wait...the issues with the dreck is that it is at the surface, right? What if there were a way to weigh it down so that it could stay away from the surface. That would prevent it from coming to the shores.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 12:26:57 AM)
There was a cabin with a generator where the oil was being collected and forced into the wetlands

Akako Masako (Sep 2, 2011 12:26:58 AM)
*smiled* They're collecting it, and shipping it somewhere.... I can't recall the name off the top of my head...

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 12:27:45 AM)
*She began taking notes, quickly.*

Tina Lorana (Sep 2, 2011 12:28:36 AM)
*funny thing is the metis is doing the same*

Akako Masako (Sep 2, 2011 12:29:19 AM)
*tapped her head in thought* I think its... Fort... Arthur in Texas... but... from there we dont know where its getting shipped too.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 12:29:31 AM)
*looking to Akako* Or the Endron Facility in St. Rose

BTMSTS (Sep 2, 2011 12:29:48 AM)

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:29:56 AM)
*ELizabeth *snarled* at the mention of Endron*

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:30:13 AM)
Endron? Beware. That is the wyrms own right there, that company.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 12:30:19 AM)
Innovate Waste Utilization is in Fort Arthur, and we have not confirmed whether they are actively making this worse ae trying to help

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 12:30:51 AM)
*Port Arthur)

Akako Masako (Sep 2, 2011 12:30:56 AM)
*glanced at Keenan* Doesn't matter.. if they're collecting the materials as well... we'll need to notify a Sept in the area...

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:31:16 AM)
Endron oil is the worst of a bad lot. Be very careful of them. If they are involved I gurantee they aren't taking care of mother Gaia at all.

Konrad Val`Dismouth (Sep 2, 2011 12:31:50 AM)
*he rubbed his chin quietly in thought*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 12:32:01 AM)
We know. But we're not sure if IWU and Enron are connected coincedentally or maliciously.

Tina Lorana (Sep 2, 2011 12:32:13 AM)
Only heard bits and pieces from the higher ups back home...never heard company names persay, only that some of the higher ups suspected certain businesses of being nasty. But.....companies sound hard to fight because they hiding in humanity.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 12:32:16 AM)
Purposely... same thing *he murmured, considering*

Akako Masako (Sep 2, 2011 12:33:35 AM)
*pursed her lips in thought* So its best that we dont let many of these banes gather together, because over time.. they'll absorb each other, and become bigger ones. Add that to the fact that the taint they leave behind, is almost impossible to cleanse, and can rot a sept out from beneath it...

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:33:49 AM)
*Elizabeth nodded* YOu have a huge problem on your hands. *She sighed, got up and went inside. When she came back out she took a phone number and passed it off...* This is my number. I am loathe to give it out, but you may need it. You have a huge problem on your hands...

Tina Lorana (Sep 2, 2011 12:34:30 AM)
((I need to go to bed))

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 12:34:32 AM)

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:34:37 AM)
I have told you what I can, what I understand. These things, they sleep for ages untold, and when they waken, they are wroth, unstopable wrecking machines hell bent on destruction - becasue that is their essence... decay.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 12:35:32 AM)
Branwen's Grace, if you could do things differently, what would you have done?

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:36:20 AM)
Got involved earlier and done more to keep that thing off my shores... but then, all of England was ill prepared, it was the first time we'd ever faced an oil spill like that. I know of only one other sept that's had to face the Forgotten Ones.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 12:37:58 AM)
which sept was that?

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:39:01 AM)
Why, the former Cheesh Na Sept of Prince WIlliam Sound.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 12:39:38 AM)
*Emapthetically, quietly* Did anyone survive?

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:40:55 AM)
All of them did to my knowledge, but as I understand it, they sacrificed their caern to stop the banes and imprison them. Prince WIlliam Sound is not the same, but that's another tale and one I do not know the details of...

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:41:04 AM)
That would be a pure Wendigo Sept.

Akako Masako (Sep 2, 2011 12:42:04 AM)
*frowned* I'm not about to sacrifice my sept...

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 12:42:36 AM)
*he gave a slow nod, looking to Rowan for a moment or three* It is unlikely they would tell the tale to any but those who they saw as pure. But we are a mixed sept, perhaps some could contact them. Thank you, elizabeth

*glanced towards the sky as well, frowning faintly* Well... I'd love to stay and help, but.. we're suppose to take a moonbridge back to our sept... and I'm really not sure when we're suppose to leave for it

Branwen's Grace (Sep 2, 2011 12:50:05 AM)
The moon must be up for a moon bridge. I suspect you'll leave at first dark tonight.

My grandmother told beautiful tales about it. I have only been to Ireland to visit family. But this is quaint and very fitting *he gestued to the small town's pub* they should be open for lunch about now.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:12:32 AM)
(night!)

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:14:59 AM)
Ever been to Wales before?

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:15:49 AM)
*She shook her head no.* But, I've had Welsh food before. *She gave a "look", then laughed.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:16:13 AM)
Well, if this is a small island with a fishing village, I'm betting fish and chips is a safe bet.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:16:22 AM)
The mushy peas with mint though is an aqcuired taste

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:16:38 AM)
I could really, really go for fish right now...

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:16:48 AM)
I love mint. And peas. I hesitate to try them together.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:17:25 AM)
It's not bad.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:18:12 AM)
Takes some getting used to. *he headed inside, chatted up the bartender for awhile to get some reccommendations on what to drink and then ordered* Hm, cozy. I could be very comfortable here

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:19:41 AM)
*She felt a little on edge, being in this area of the world...being a Uktena and all. She listened as he spoke to the bartender and somewhat agreed.* It is different. A new experience is always welcome.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:21:31 AM)
You never know in a place like his is people will be welcoming because they want to see what is outside or if they will be cold because the outside scares them.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:21:48 AM)
(morgan pmed me asking you to check her pm)

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:23:47 AM)
*She had been idly on her phone, as they chatted.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:24:13 AM)
*he went and got pints for them both, coming back and sliding one over to her*

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:24:44 AM)
*She caught her pint, and eyed Keenan for a moment as she tapped the screen of her phone to disconnect the call.*

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:26:46 AM)
Thank you, Keenan. *She looked around, being sure to not speak about anything...obvious.*

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:27:07 AM)
*She leaned forward, curious and speaking in a low tone.* What...what is in Belfast?

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:27:59 AM)
Not sure... captial of Northern Ireland... been tempestuous politically and socially for years.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:30:29 AM)
*She sipped her pint, mulling this over, nodding.* Okay. I had to call and check in. This IS a cozy place...

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:30:45 AM)
*She beamed slightly, and then sighed.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:33:01 AM)
Someday it would be ncie to return without a heavy problem weighing on us.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:35:48 AM)
.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:36:50 AM)
When that day comes, I hope we will be around to see it.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:37:04 AM)
*She smiled, catching the faint smell of fried food in the air.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:37:46 AM)
With any luck. As long as you have people to watch your back that gets a bit easier

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:43:34 AM)
*She nods.*

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:43:52 AM)
What are your views on...the group so far? *She looked around warily, though still curious.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:46:00 AM)
Your group? I think Sarah is solid and dependable, and Michelle seems bright and focused. Morgan... she's a bit down every time I see her. Something happened to the group she used to hang with. As for mine? Andy's crazy, but loveable. Lukas is solid and Kit was one of the first people who I met and always had my back.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:48:22 AM)
I am going to have to agree with you, on all accounts. *She took a sip from her pint, enjoying the taste.* Though, I do feel Morgan has potential. She is a bit apprehensive, but she means well.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:49:09 AM)
I can see that. *he nodded* I hope making new connections pulls her away from the sadness she bears.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:50:28 AM)
*She wrapped her slender fingers around the pint, both hands doing so. The small scarring around her knuckles were apparent, but they did not seem to bother her.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:51:01 AM)
I never got the chance to ask - what brought you to new Orleans?

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:52:47 AM)
*She paused for a moment, locking his gaze tensely for a moment before relaxing again.* Being around others with the same interests. *She looked around, casually, then back to him.*

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:53:47 AM)
My parents passed and after a time...*She sighed.*...I wanted to know family, again.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:54:05 AM)
*he looked around and gave a thin nod, understanding. Mmm, food the plates arrived, set down steaming hot* Ages since I had rel fish and chips. My brother would always try to steal chips. *pause* Do you have siblings?

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:55:41 AM)
*She exhaled relievedly at the food as it arrived, only answering after the server made it a good way from the table, sipping from her pint before doing so.*

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:56:18 AM)
No, I was their only child.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:56:39 AM)
Your brother seemed to love the idea of sharing. *She grinned.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:57:06 AM)
We're identical twins. He's a mischief maker.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:58:17 AM)
*She paused.* Really? Wow...

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 1:58:32 AM)
*She picked up a piece of fish, and took a bite, swooning.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:59:42 AM)
Yeah. I actually came to Ne Orleans to find him. He's not quite like me... *meaningful glance here* and he used to keep in touch all the time, but he dropped off in the last year or so. I was worried something was wrong... I guess he was restless and wanted to 'do his own thing' for a while.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 1:59:50 AM)
I might have missed him more than he missed me.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:00:27 AM)
*She cocked her head to one side.* Why do you say that?

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:01:45 AM)
I was the one who went hunting

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:02:37 AM)
*A look of slight sadness passed over her features.* Sometimes the hobby chooses you. *She nodded, understandingly.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:03:19 AM)
Still there is a spark of old times left. We'r going camping over this weekend. That should be crazy.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:04:28 AM)
Camping? *She blinked.* Well, I hope you two have fun. I am sure there is much catching up to do. *She dug into her plate for a moment, hungrily, but not without etiquette required for eating in public.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:06:25 AM)
My cousin has a cabin on a lake... well whatver is more lake than swamp. We're going to help him fix it up and catch up and all that stuff. Swap beer recipes. *he dug into his food* Wow, this is amazingly fresh.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:08:37 AM)
I'll bet it's gorgeous. I wish you good fun with your brother and your cousin. *She nods, nibbling a side of filet.* Yes, this is wonderful. Hopefuily soon I can have a gathering at my house.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:09:02 AM)
Thanks. *smile* Where is your house?

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:10:54 AM)
It's in Houma, about an hour from the clubhouse.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:11:37 AM)
Houma? I haven't been there before - I would love to see it.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:12:48 AM)
It's quiet there, very cozy, but not as cozy as this bar...*She trailed off a bit, shaking her head and sipping her pint, then lowering it.* I am thinking about renting the bedrooms out. I have three empty ones.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:15:51 AM)
Does the house have seperate areas that you can section off? Or ould everyone use the same kitchen and bathroom and such?

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:18:44 AM)
*She thought for a moment.* There is one large kitchen and four bedrooms, each have their own bathroom and there is a half bath in the den, combined living room, dining room and a seperate den. *She flushed slightly, shaking her head.* It's really cozy, not too big and not too small. It's just a simple double-wide, overall. And it's on bricks, which means no property taxes.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:19:10 AM)
That's very handy

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:19:16 AM)
Sounds like it could work well

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:21:19 AM)
Thank you, I am hoping so. If not then...there's always occupying the rooms with children. *She looked down a moment and shrugged, eating her food once more.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:22:23 AM)
Yes, there is that, too. *he chewed a bit, thoughtfully* Never really thought about that

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:24:38 AM)
Sarcasm, I promise you. *She smiled a bit, taking another long sip of her pint.* So, should we get some souvenirs before we go back home?

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:25:55 AM)
*he chuckled* I can see how it ties one down. Some people love it. Me? I dunno, I still feel too young *setting his utensils down* Sounds like a plan.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:28:59 AM)
*She finished up the last of her fish and chips, patting her tummy slightly after she finished the last of her pint as well, feeling very relaxed.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:33:08 AM)
*he sighed, happily* Calm before the storm. I wish we could stay here longer

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:35:10 AM)
*She nodded thoughtfully.* There is much to see this side of the world...though, it would be good to return with a plan. A plan that goes something like: two weeks in the U.K., and only one week planned out, the other week is nothing but backpacking.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:36:23 AM)
Backpacking. That sounds divine. They have many old roads - or what had been roads hundreds of years ago that are hiking trails now

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:38:01 AM)
I've heard it's fun. It's great exercise, too.

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:38:35 AM)
Used to do it up in Vermont. I love hiking and backpacking

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:40:45 AM)
Hmm...*In her mind she mulls over a trip to the Smokey Mountains.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:42:38 AM)
Fresh air, new places... break out and get about *he smiled, thinking about it*

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:42:54 AM)
*Her mind drifted for a moment at this.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:46:46 AM)
*quietly after a while* you ok?

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:47:47 AM)
*She nods, smiling, though her eyes told a different story.* I am just fine.

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:48:03 AM)
Shall we be off soon? *She left money on the table to pay for their meals.*

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:49:17 AM)
*he nodded a bit, blue yes emapthetic, laying down some money as well and nodding to the bartender* Sure, see how bustling this little place is

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:49:24 AM)
(but sadly I should head to bed soon >.<0

Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 2, 2011 2:50:23 AM)
(It's cool! Thank you for the RP!)

Keenan Murphy (Sep 2, 2011 2:51:10 AM)
(thank you as well, have a good night!)
