Transcript:

Buzz Aldridge: Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
Buzz Aldridge: I hereby call to order this, the 223rd Assembly of the 7th High Council.
Buzz Aldridge: *taps the halberd on the flagstones three times*
Buzz Aldridge: The first announcement is to let y'all know that the time frame
Buzz Aldridge: for applying for the Grand Marshal position has expired
Buzz Aldridge: as of this announement.
Buzz Aldridge: *smiles*
Buzz Aldridge: We do have applicants and are getting their application materials together.
Buzz Aldridge: Then we'll set up interviews.
Buzz Aldridge: We hope to have a new Grand Marshal to introduce soon.
Buzz Aldridge: The next item is from Lady Leeda.
Buzz Aldridge: M'Lady, the floor is yours.

Leeda: Good Evening

Joylah: Hullo, Leeda
Leeda: As you know, Trinsic has taken in the refugees from Magincia.
Leeda: We are making every effort to provide the basic needs for them.
Leeda: The winter brings bitter cold weather.
Leeda: We are in need of blankets and etc.
Leeda: We would also like to invite you to join us at the Keg & Anchor in Trinsic
Leeda: Thursday nights at 8 PM Central time.
Leeda: For a bit of fun and relaxation.
Leeda: Thank You

Buzz Aldridge: Thank you, M'Lady.

Galen: Is Bert Ramsey here?

Buzz Aldridge: And thank you for your efforts

IronHorse: i've not seen Bert this day

Galen: *nods*

Buzz Aldridge: Galen?

Galen: Jhelom offered to buy the Magincians blankets and a few other things...
Galen: Waiting for, for want of a better term, an order from Ramsey.

Buzz Aldridge: Ah
Buzz Aldridge: Perhaps he's running late

Galen: Actually could I say something quick?

Buzz Aldridge: Certainly

Galen: *kisses the top of Joy's head, while walking to the front of the table*

Joylah: *dimples*

Galen: We had five come out for the rescue mission in Doom.
Galen: Thank you.
Galen: and I think that's 'bout all from me.
Galen: *top of the head kiss again*

Joylah: *dimples warmly*

Buzz Aldridge: Do any of the other councilors have any additional items for tonight's meeting?

Thrand Graywolf: I'd like to ask a question

Buzz Aldridge: Thrand?

Thrand Graywolf: How many councilors have actually been to Trinsic
Thrand Graywold: to see and speak with the Magincian refugees?

Galen: *raises hand*
Galen: Though curiously how I couldn't actually talk to any of the actual refugees...

Thrand Graywolf: Yes, I think that's the point.
Thrand Graywolf: Do any of you know that most of the refugees are
Thrand Graywold: working in mines west of Trinsic instead of
Thrand Graywolf: here, clearing the rubble?

IronHorse: huh?

Merlynna: What?

Joylah: I had heard rumors to that affect.

Buzz Aldridge: What?

Thrand Graywolf: Or that the governor of Trinsic is building a new mansion

Galen: *a disguised expression*

Leeda: They are earning a living

Thrand Graywolf: While people constantly say Magincia is too expensive to rebuild at this time.

Joylah: They dont' have blankets, it must be a very mean lliving.

Leeda: not all work the mines

Joylah: Or perhaps they're just not very good miners?

Jackson: *listens carefully*

Thrand Graywolf: I strongly suggest that the Councilors go to Trinsic and see things for themselves.
Thrand Graywolf: Among my people, what is taking place there would not be considered...proper.
Thrand Graywolf: Thank you

Leeda: perhaps thurs night

IronHorse: hmm

Joylah: Is that their night off?

Merlynna: *raises hand*

Thrand Graywolf: They have no night off that I am aware of

Thrand Graywolf: Though one of them does work at the Keg.

Merlynna: Where in Trinsic is this being built?

Buzz Aldridge: Very well...

Leeda: .that issue was cleared right away

Buzz Aldridge: Any other issues from the councilors?
Buzz Aldridge: IronHorse, perhaps you should speak then...

IronHorse: certainly
IronHorse: good evening
IronHorse: first of all
IronHorse: I do not know from where the 9th seat gets his intel

Joylah: *lifts a slender brow mildly*

IronHorse: but i can assure the council that very few refugees work in any mines
IronHorse: in fact the only ones who have worked in any mines that come to mind
IronHorse: is one who was jailed
IronHorse: his time has since been served
IronHorse: any of this council is welcome to come to Trinsic and speak
IronHorse: directly with the refugees
IronHorse: they are being treated quite decently
IronHorse: and generously by the city of Trinsic

Galen: Then why was Ramsey asking if the Magincians were going to be paid?

IronHorse: as for the building of the new Governors mansion

Galen: *his expression nearly blank*

IronHorse: well that is at my personal expense
IronHorse: he did not ask if
IronHorse: he asked how they would be paid
IronHorse: i think you only heard a part of a conversation
IronHorse: i had offered jobs to some on the building of the mansion

Galen: *not saying anything, face still blank....*

IronHorse: as for the clearing of the rubble from magincia
IronHorse: all has been done that can be done
IronHorse: until the proper skills and eqiupment are in place
IronHorse: I encourage all to stay away from this city for now
IronHorse: due to the crumbling ruins
IronHorse: don't want any casualties
IronHorse: any other questions that need to be cleared up?

Jackson: and it also serves to stabilize your reputation with in the Kingdom as well.

IronHorse: my reputation needs no stablizing

Joylah: Yes, where are the refugees being held.. er.. housed?

IronHorse: not that I know of anyway

Jackson: *half shrugs*
Jackson: true enough

IronHorse: they are being housed in the trinsic barracks

Jackson: however this crisis does serve to improve your standing to be sure.

IronHorse: I had to personally move most of my guard to their new quaters

Joylah: On Palidin Isle?

IronHorse: located directly outside the main gate

Galen: ...Ain't that the jail, just inside the main gate?

IronHorse: well as of present it has been by my personal actions that these refugees were helped at all
IronHorse: i did not see any other city jump up and offer aid

Joylah: *lifts a slender brow mildly*

IronHorse: and if i can give them jobs
IronHorse: then all the beter

Galen: If any of them wish to leave I'll do it now....

IronHorse: most need to learn skills they don't have

Galen: *staring right at Iron, expresson still nearly blank*

IronHorse: I hold no magincians against their will
IronHorse: they are free to leave at any time

Airmid: surely Magincia was not devoid of skills?

IronHorse: but while in Trinsic
IronHorse: of course they are required to obey the laws that are in place
IronHorse: as does any citizen of the realm

Thrand Graywolf: Quite the list of laws that is, too.

Buzz Aldridge: This is obviously a very tense time for the realm...

IronHorse: the laws are clear i believe

Thrand Graywolf: Quite

Joylah: Indeed.

IronHorse: and none unreasonable
IronHorse: we have had very few violations
IronHorse: so i am pleased

Buzz Aldridge: I'd certainly like to thank the city of Trinsic for their care of the refugees

Joylah: Martial law has a way of keeping the populace well in its place.

IronHorse: thank you Buzz

Joylah: *a sardonic twist to her lips*

Galen: In case no one heard me....Any Magincians who wish to leave Trinsic....Jhelom has space.
IronHorse: and Martial Law shall remain in place
IronHorse: until such time that i feel it is no longer needed

Locus Ceruleus: lol

IronHorse: perhaps when there is a High Guard in place
IronHorse: we can discuss it

Thrand Graywolf: If there has been such little crime...how is it needed?

Buzz Aldridge: I think it's very normal for people to be concerned during times such as these

IronHorse: due to the law

Buzz Aldridge: Communication between teh parties involved will help quell

IronHorse: no laws and then there is lawlessness

Galen: *tapping fingers together, expression still blank*

Thrand Graywolf: I find laws have little to do with stopping crime.

Buzz Aldridge: any problems from misunderstandings...

Thrand Graywolf: *smilese at Buzz*

Buzz Aldridge: Please, let's all keep the channels of communication open
Buzz Aldridge: *smiles*

IronHorse: that is your opinion councilor Thrand
IronHorse: and your entitled to it
IronHorse: Mine differ

Rick: Fear stops more then just word of law. Is that what you mean Lord Thrand?

Thrand Graywolf: Again, I strongly suggest the Councilors journey to
Thrand Graywolf: Trinsic and investigate things for yourselves.

Locus Ceruleus: *mumbles something about appeasement*

Thrand Graywolf: Take no ones word on anything.

Buzz Aldridge: I would agree...

Buzz Aldridge: Thank you, Lord IronHorse


IronHorse: I believe councilor leeda just invited you all to do just that

Thrand Graywolf: *nods to Rick*

Leeda: Yes I did

Buzz Aldridge: In fact...

IronHorse: I would encourage you all to take her up on that invite
IronHorse: and come visit our fair city
IronHorse: just obey the law

Buzz Aldridge: I think that's perfect idea!

Buzz Aldridge: Again, we all need to remember

Galen: *winks to Joy at Ironhorse's last remark*

Joylah: *lifts a slender brow mildly*
Joylah: *dimples at Galen*

Buzz Aldridge: These are not "usual" times
Buzz Aldridge: Allright...
Buzz Aldridge: Would anyone else care to speak tonight?
Buzz Aldridge: Very well
Buzz Aldridge: I hereby bring this, the 223rd Assembly of the 7th High Council to a close.
Buzz Aldridge: Long Live Britannia!
