...Izee's first Companion was Marcus Hrolfson, a Shipwright at Scagnar.  Izee' maintained the financial records of the Shipyard, and would arrange to have food and drink delivered...but...

...She always had something else to do when they could use another hand to pound stakes, or sand.   ::)

...The precision shown in building this thing is AMAZING.   :)

...Tavi and Gunnar get loose from Izee', in Turia, and find an instrument they had never seen before.   ???  But, being Tuchuk, they figure out how to play it.   ::)  (At least Tavi does...Gunnar just pounds on it... :P)

...Aslaug wanted to perform music at Turia.  She hoped that a cultured Tuchuk would appreciate her skill and Musicianship, and she would get claimed by a Tuchuk Warrior of High Rank.   ;D  Aslaug got all dressed up, and went to the stage.  Problem was, S'lene, her Accompanist, was having 'fun' with her Companion, Bartu.  Aslaug then played both instruments, sometimes at the same time.  She thought that she was getting by, but wondered why the audience was laughing at times.   :-\

...Aslaug complained to her mother, Izee', about not feeling appreciated.  Izee' comforted her, and said..."Here is a bit of wisdom, daughter, it is...There are NO cultured Tuchuk."   ;)

...Some good, personal news!   :) :) :)

...For the past two years, I have been suffering from a chronic illness that leaves me tired, weak, and irritable.  Izee' has expressed my r/t feelings at times, although I try to keep my r/t out of the r/p.  My Doctor ordered a CT scan of my torso, to examine my internal organs, and...I received an email from her stating that it was essentially normal.   :)

...I think that my problem is psychological, a lot happened during the past two years.  I am getting help, a Psych sees me every month, and I am on meds.  Problem with the meds, is that they make me tired and irritable.  I am also going to group meetings, almost every day, which is helping. 

...I will try to get back into Gor r/p...but if I am feeling too tired, or irritable...I will stay off, or leave the r/p.  I really don't want to be disruptive, I still feel guilt over the way I left Scagnar...there were many there who liked Izee'...but my r/t challenges were at an all-time high, and I just couldn't control my reaction.  I probably should have just logged off, and returned in a few days, when my r/t had calmed down.

...I am very grateful to Rags, he has always supported me, and forgiven me when I got out of line, and helped me with my r/t issues.

...During a stay in Turia, Rags had an idea of how to 'acquire' some coin... :)...but he needed to have the Turians distracted.  His first thought was to have the kajirae dance, that would distract the Turians, but then, he and the Warriors would have to protect them, and would not have the time to arrange the 'loan'.  He briefly thought of having the FW dance,  :o  but when the Turians began laughing, the FW would pull out their quivas,  >:(  and the Tuchuk Warriors would have to forget about the 'loan'...and haul the FW away.  :P

...Marcus and Izee' were traveling with the Tuchuk, and the two of them came up with an idea.  They presented it to Rags, and he grinned and rubbed his hands together and flexed his fingers.  "Good idea, Marcus and I will perform, and Jonas will 'take out the loan.'"

...They set up the 'Concert'...and proceeded to perform.   ;D  Jonas arranged for the 'loan', and baskets of gold and silver coin were quickly taken to the wagons.  The Turians were watching the two and didn't notice the 'loan' until days after the Tuchuk left.

...(Here is the performance, not saying who is who... ::))

...The 'Talking Stick'... ::)

...I was very active in Girl Scouts when I was in H.S.   :)  I was invited to join a GS County Honor Club, and was TRILLED!!!!   ;D  only one other girl from our Troop had ever been invited.  All of the 'Invitees' had to come to a large public park on a Friday night, and the Initiation would be over Sunday at noon.  There were eleven of us, and the Active GS explained the rules.  We would spend the days working on cleaning the Park.  We were divided into three teams, and two Actives commanded each team.  We were told that we would do whatever an Active ordered us to do, and we could expect to sweat a lot and get dirty.  We were fed very little, and chewed on crackers and peanut butter as we watched the actives eating chicken, eggs, ribs, and other nice food.  The worst part was...

...WE COULD NOT SPEAK!!!!!    :o :o :o :o :o

...They did have the 'Talking Stick' if we really needed to speak on something.  They told us not to gesture for it, unless we needed to speak of a serious matter.  The Talking Stick was a branch from a tree, that was about the size of a baton, and it had ribbons tied all over it.

...On Friday night, we were each given a piece of soft wood, about 12" long, and 4" wide.  We were told to carve it into the shape of an arrow.  Needless to say...the skill level in carving was quite different between us.  The Actives approved the arrows, and we were told that we had to keep them with us at all times.  They also explained that the arrows were to be used to record the times when we messed up.  So, for instance, if an Active caught me talking, or not doing what I was told to do, or just slacking...she would carve a deep notch into the arrow.  They also said that if a Candidate got seven notches, then the Actives and the Adult Leaders would decide if the girl should be allowed in the Club.   :P

...I did fairly well, I had two notches in my arrow on Sunday morning, and I felt that I could keep my big mouth shut until noon, I had gotten caught talking.  I am capable of staying silent...but it has to be in a proper setting.   :)  I rolled up my sleeping bag, and then walked to the latrine.  I was walking back to our camp, and passed by a table...and...

...THERE WAS THE TALKING STICK!!!!!!!!!!!    :o :o :o :o :o

...I looked around, and did not see any Actives...so I thought, "Just DO IT!!!"  I picked up the Talking Stick, and continued to our camp.  As I got closer, I started singing, and greeting the Actives...I was holding the Talking Stick behind my back.  They stared at me as if I had gone mad, and one shouted..."YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE TALKING".  I kept singing, and when I got close, I said, as I pulled the stick out from behind my back..."Sure I can...

..."I GOT THE TALKING STICK" 

...It got snatched away from me, and I got TWO notches carved into my arrow. 

...I did finish the Initiation, and one of Adult Leaders said that that was one of the funniest things he had ever seen.   ;D ::) :o

...At times, I got ornery in H.S., it was usually when the 'manic' part of my illness kicked in.  Normally, I was the 'quiet girl' in class, I didn't talk, and would only speak when the teacher called on me.  Once, we had a Substitute teacher for two weeks, in our English class.  My manic phase had kicked in, and I was working hard to keep it under control during class.  One day...I failed.   :P

...I arrived at the classroom 15 minutes early, there was no one else there.  I figited for a few minutes, and then walked to the blackboard.  I let my mind loose, and drew silly pictures, and wrote short, silly poems.  I finished before the teacher arrived, although students had arrived, and were laughing at my 'Masterwork."  I then pulled a screen down, and my work was covered, and I got back into my seat.   :)

...The Sub arrived, frustrated, she was 10 minutes late.  She greeted us as she set down her teaching materials.  She started the lecture, and then turned to the blackboard, and pulled the screen back up.  She stared at my masterpiece, and then turned to us, and quietly asked..."Who did this?"   >:(  We were all quiet, at first, and then the other students started laughing, and pointed at ME!!!   :o  She walked over to me, and asked..."Did you do that?"  I nodded, and she handed me an eraser, and said, "Get it off my board."  I got up, and erased it.  As I was walking by her, she muttered...

..."They TOLD me to WATCH OUT FOR THE QUIET ONES."   ::) ::) ::)
