<TheBrig> don't forget Dorothy
<IrishTCat> Hrmmmmmmm  Irish doesnt know who these strange people mentioned are
<Jacie> Saw her, and the munchkins. They live is the land of Disney.
<Dr10> Dorothy's daughter got married again.
<AlxKeegan> shall we do a CASTING CALL?
<AlxKeegan> <======Fred!!
<Jacie> <=== Russell-Holmes
<AlxKeegan> and any questions about tonight's script?
<TheBrig> <========Shelock (It's great to be back) Holmes
<AlxKeegan> and are you playing tonight, Heather?
<Dr10> <=== The Doctor, lost amidst so many detectives, enjoying the ride
<IrishTCat> <<---Irish T (I dont want no stinkin cup with out milk or cream) Cat
<AlxKeegan> if you think you're lost now, Tuna, wait till you see what Jen does in the next story;-)
<TheBrig> <Anything in particular you want mentioned when going over supplies?>
<AlxKeegan> I was thinking weapons, etc
<AlxKeegan> but I don't know what they would have available
<Dr10> Oh I'm not lost, just enjoying having detectivees along on a mystery...
<AlxKeegan> and they would probably buy things like lanterns and stuff, when they get to Wales
<AlxKeegan> and I don't know if they have batteries in the 1920s
<Jacie> And having just recently spent an allnighter on a train I feel I can add legitimacy to that scene.
<Dr10> :::takees his place on stage:::
<Jacie> Just remember there is a lot of rocking and rolling.
<AlxKeegan> lol
<IrishTCat> ((Irish wants milk,cream,roast beef , chicken ,catnip , a soft pillow )) 
<AlxKeegan> well, will only be on the train for one scene
<AlxKeegan> and everyone should dress warmly, since it's early january
<Dr10> I did a night train ffrom Beijing to Qufu twice, and it rocked and rolled thru the night
* DocEight sits back to enjoy the show
<AlxKeegan> other than that, ask any questions as they come up
<AlxKeegan> all roles accounted for?
<TheBrig> <Rode the Alpine Express once :-) >
<Jacie> Makes going to the bathroom or eating an adventure. :)
<Dr10> Do we even need location symbols?
<AlxKeegan> anyone notice Xander's ears are big?
<AlxKeegan> not really, I would think, Tuna
<Jacie> Not until the middle scene splits.
<TheBrig> <Share Holmes opion taht trains are a very civilised way to travel>
<Dr10> OK, let's do it up!
<AlxKeegan> rolling the credits now
<AlxKeegan> <<<The New Adventures of Dr. Who Simulation>>>
<AlxKeegan> <<Dr.Who in "The Cup of Ages", Part Five>>
<AlxKeegan> <<<by David A. Sharpe>>>
*** TheBrig is now known as SHolmes
<Jacie> <Just for the record, I'll take Mycroft and any extras as needed.>
*** Jacie is now known as RussellHolmes
*** RussellHolmes changes topic to 'NADW Sim: Cup of Ages Pt 5'
<RussellHolmes> ::sitting in Mycroft's drawing room as Lady Victoria goes over her newly realized secrets::
*** AlxKeegan is now known as DWFred
<RussellHolmes> ::out in the hall, the muffled voices of Mycroft Holmes can be heard making hurried arrangments::
<DWFred> <gee, I can't remember what Fred did last>
<RussellHolmes> <Assume a few minutes have past.>
<RussellHolmes> <Mycroft is out of the room now anyway.>
<SHolmes> :::Fills pipe absently thinking of the morgue wagon that carried away Lord Wynham-Pryce::
<DWFred> <ah, yes, someone what to ask Lady Victoria to tell them the poem?>
<RussellHolmes> Lady Victoria, perhaps you should go over what memories your husband implanted in your subconscious one more time.
<Dr10> ::The Doctor nods his head at the cleverness of the hidden memory trick, but wonders if it was harmful to Victoria.:::
<RussellHolmes> <David is doing Victoria, for the poem at least. I talked him into it. ;)>
<DWFred> <oh, and llangolen is on the way to glaestenburgh>
<DWFred> Victoria> Why yes, of course.
<Dr10> :::The Doctor watches Victoria closely, recalling their adventures, such as at the tomb of the Cybermen.:::
<DWFred> :::Victoria closes her eyes and prepares to recite the poem:::
<SHolmes> :::Places loaded pipe in pocket and leans forward::
<Dr10> :::Although not as young as she once was, she is still a strikingly beautiful woman.:::
<DWFred> :::Paterson, smiling fondly as recalls taking dictation from Mycroft in the old days, has pen and paper ready to copy the poem down:::
<RussellHolmes> <::drum rolling::>
<DWFred> :::as Victoria recites the poem, her voice changes, becoming, in turn, like the voice of each person who recited their part of the poem:::
<DWFred> Listen well, Bearer, to these words 
<DWFred> Listen not and fail in thy quest 
<DWFred> The Cup was borne across the waves 
<DWFred> By the twelvefold band 
<DWFred> Led by St. Joseph of Arimathea 
<Dr10> ::The Doctor cannot help but feel a slight shivver as Victoria goes from voice to voice.::
<DWFred> It rests now in St. Joseph's tomb 
<DWFred> Arthur abides close by, in honor 
<DWFred> Make the company eight in number 
<DWFred> One for the Bearer 
<DWFred> Seven for the survivors of 
<DWFred> The battle of Camlan 
<DWFred> Seek the Cup of Ages 
<DWFred> In the fields of autumn 
<DWFred> In the Realm of Afallach 
<RussellHolmes> ::eyebrows raise as Victoria's voice deepens then turns to a soft squeak::
<DWFred> Mark now, the Bearer 
<DWFred> One, brave and true 
<DWFred> With purity of heart 
<IrishTCat> ::Irish opens his eyes when he hears the squeaky voice:: 
<DWFred> :::Fred shivers as she hears the description of the Cup Bearer:::
<DWFred> Pass the Three Tests 
<DWFred> To claim the Cup 
<DWFred> Fail them and nevermore 
<DWFred> Will it be in your grasp 
<RussellHolmes> ::her voice changes again to a slight Scottish accent::
<DWFred> You will find the tomb 
<DWFred> West of the wall of Severus 
<DWFred> In the Land of the Dead 
<DWFred> Look in the Glen of Sacred Waters 
<DWFred> In the Vale of the Cross 
<DWFred> Speak these words 
<DWFred> In the darkest hour 
<DWFred> By the walls of the Grail Castle
<RussellHolmes> ::finally her voice returns to the prim English accent of her husband with the final stanza::
<DWFred> :::Victoria sighs, relaxes and opens her eyes:::
<IrishTCat> ::Irish looks displeased:: I am not going to carry some stupid human cup around .. No! 
<DWFred> :::Fred giggles:::
<DWFred> I don't think it will be you, Irish.
<IrishTCat> Hmmmm You are just saying that to trick me into going along .. 
<RussellHolmes> ::repeats, mulling it over:: By the walls of the Grail Castle... In the Realm of Afallach...
<DWFred> Victoria> And that is the poem.
<SHolmes> I wonder who will be our Galahad
<IrishTCat> ::Irish looks relieved:: Ah so this Galahad will be carrying the cup around . Thats good .. 
<DWFred> :::Fred concentrates, recalling what she read in the book in the library:::
<RussellHolmes> I think the more important question is what are these 'tests' and who will face them.
<SHolmes> Joseph of Arimathea was believed to be a tin merchant, Afallach god of the dead... It seems we will be doing some spelunkering
<DWFred> Does anyone have a map of Wales?
<SHolmes> I doubt there is a chart made that my brother doesn't have a copy 
<IrishTCat> I can offer my expertise in napping , eating, clinging and being attractive.. 
<Dr10> :::The Doctor is impressed by how much Fred learned at Hogwart's, wonders at what her other powers are.:::
<RussellHolmes> ::Mycroft returns, wiping a perspiration off his brow with a crisp handkerchief:: Well that settles that. 
<Dr10> :::The Doctor produces a map pof Wales fcrom his pocket and spreads it out.:::
<RussellHolmes> Mycroft>::quirks a brow:: Holmes did I hear you right? You expect us to go tinkering in the Welsh mountains?
<DWFred> :::Fred looks the map over::::
<Dr10> Royal Survey, 1932, but don't let that bother you.
<SHolmes> :Raises eyebrow that the doctor has exactly the map needed on his person::
<Dr10> Must be a printer's error, I am sure they mean 1912.
<IrishTCat> ::Irish hears the rattle of paper and jumps up to lay down on the map :: 
<DWFred> :::Fred murmurs place names as she scans the various place names in Wales:::
<IrishTCat> Meow Meow Meow 
<Dr10> :::The Doctor mumbles softly::: Langollen, I wonder....
<DWFred> :::Finally, her finger rests on a spot on the map::
<RussellHolmes> Mycroft>Digging around in pot holes is not my forte. Hard enough arranging two sleeper cars on the evening train to Anglesey for us.
<DWFred> Here.  At the top of this mountain is Castlle Dinas Bran.
<SHolmes> I think not "us" brother
<DWFred> Down below is the ruin of the Abbey of Vale Crucis.
<Dr10> ::The Doctor nods:: My friend Fred here as quite a working knowledge of such places, don't let her age fool you.
<DWFred> The area is known locally as Glyndyvrdwy, or Glen of the Sacred Waters.
<RussellHolmes> ::rolling eyes at her husband's cryptic gruff manner with his brother:: We do appreciate your assistance Mycroft, but Holmes is quite right that we don't need to bother you further.
<IrishTCat> ::Irish grabs Fred's finger with his paws :: Meow Meow 
<RussellHolmes> If Lady Victoria's memory is correct, only 8 are required for this journey.
<DWFred> :::Victoria nods affirmatively as the geography meshes with the poem::::
<DWFred> ::Fred smiles at Irish:::
<SHolmes> After all the Diognes Club may well fall down without the presence of Mycroft ::Smiles at his brother::
<RussellHolmes> ::glances at the map:: A somewhat harrowing one it seems. We'll have to hike a good afternoon to get there.
<IrishTCat> ::Irish shakes his head as if to indicate no hiking will be necessary for him at least :: 
<Dr10> Well, it might do us a bit of good, as we'll no doubt need clear heads when we get there,
<RussellHolmes> Mycroft>::folding his handkerchief and stuffing it neatly into his pocket:: Perhaps I should see no more distressful things happen while your... toiling in the dirt brother.
<DWFred> ::::Fred counts everyone in the room, including Irish:::
<DWFred> Not counting Mr. Mycroft, here, :::smiles at Mycroft:: we have exactly 8 people.
<SHolmes> :::Starts to retort then catches Russell's glare and remains quiet::
<Dr10> Well, then, we are either bound to discover one of the oddest coincidences in history or we are on our way to meet the stuff of legends.
<DWFred> <someone should comment on the count, as it includes Irish>
<IrishTCat> 7 People and 1 Cat 
<RussellHolmes> Mycroft>::checks the mantle clock as it rings:: If you wish to catch that evening train, you should be moving your expedition party Holmes.
<Dr10> Either way it should be quire revealing.
<DWFred> :::Fred picks up Irish, holding him close:::
<RussellHolmes> Mycroft>The train leaves in half an hour.
<IrishTCat> Who happens to be much better than a simple human people
<DWFred> Of course you're a person, Irish.
<SHolmes> Thank you brother,
<IrishTCat> I am not a people though 
<Dr10> ::The Doctor produces a classic carpet travel bag from seemingly nowhere and smiles.:: I am all packed and ready to travel.
<SHolmes> But brave enough from the fight to save poor Poirot
<DWFred> I'm sorry, Irish, I must work on my grammer more.
<RussellHolmes> Mycroft>I've taken the liberty of acquiring two cabs outside, and an overnight bag for the ladies is waiting there.
<Dr10> Always thinking ahead, Mycroft.
<DWFred> ::smiles brightly at Mycroft:: Thank you for your kindness.
<Dr10> :::The Dr strolls towards the door:: Our dfestiny awaits us!
<RussellHolmes> Mycroft>You needn't worry Holmes. I'll look after things here. Just... watch your step.
<DWFred> :::She curtsies to Mycroft, all the while not disturbing Irish in her arms:::
<IrishTCat> ::Irish points his paw at the snacks :: Don't forget the milk .. 
<SHolmes> I always do
<DWFred> There will be milk on the train, Irish.
<RussellHolmes> ::stops to impart a hug and kiss on her brother-in-law's cheek before she leaves:: I'll make certain he does.
<RussellHolmes> ::Mycroft watches as the westward travelers head off in the cabs::
<DWFred> :::Taking Irish firmly in tow, Fred follows after the Doctor:::
<Dr10> # = in the traincar with Dr, fred, irish, and Lady Victoria
<Dr10> # :: The Doctor watches the countryside stream by the twilight:::
<DWFred> :::Fred pours some milk on a saucer for Irish:::
<Dr10> <in the twilight>
<RussellHolmes> @ = Detectives car
<SHolmes> % = adjoining car
<RussellHolmes> <Ah, ok %>
<SHolmes> <Scratch that>
<DWFred> # See, I told you there would be milk. 
<RussellHolmes> % = Holmes, Russell, Paterson & Penelope
<Dr10> #Lady Victoria, are you sure that you do not recall when we previously met? It wa quite somew time ago.
<RussellHolmes> % We'll need to acquire some hiking gear at our stop Holmes.
<IrishTCat> # Hrmmmm  :: Irish sticks his head back in the bowl :: 
<RussellHolmes> <Shall I take Paterson and Penelope?>
<DWFred> # Victoria> I feel certain I have only encountered you in my mystical readings, Doctor.
<DWFred> <yes please, jen>
<DWFred> <if you would>
<DWFred> <be so kind:-)>
<SHolmes> % And some good strong hemp rope too
<Dr10> #:::The Dr smiles:: I quite understand. It hjappens to me quite often, actually.
<RussellHolmes> % Paterson>::jotting down notes in his notebook:: Right, we'll need some lanterns and guide rope.
<DWFred> # Fred> Ma'am, what you can tell us of the tests?
<Dr10> #Lady Victoria, you have worked so long and hard to protect the cup, what are your thoughts about encountering it?
<RussellHolmes> % Penelope>Don't forget the compass dear. It's easy to get lost in the Welsh range. Remember our first adventure with Mycroft?
<DWFred> # Victoria> Well...of course, I'm looking forward to finding what the order has guarded these many centuries.
<IrishTCat> # Just dont expect to trick me into aquirng a cup to look after .. 
<RussellHolmes> % Paterson>::grins:: No doubt that's why he breaks into a sweat whenever an trek to the hills is mentioned.
<DWFred> # Victoria> I am determined that we do whatever we can to keep it out of the hands of this..Cabal.
<SHolmes> % And it might be good to also acquire some of those gifts of the Great War, wristwatches and eletric torches
<DWFred> # :::Victoria smiles at Fred:::
<RussellHolmes> % Penelope>Well, he did lose his best pair of Wellingtons in that muddy sinkhole.
<Dr10> #Yes, they seem an ill-mannered lot, not to be trusted with fabulous artifacts.
<DWFred> # Victoria> :::to Fred::: No need to be so formal, Fred.  You may call me Victoria.  You as well, Doctor.
<RussellHolmes> % Paterson>Right, got it. ::scribbling in his pad::
<Dr10> Thank you, Victoria, of course I will.
<DWFred> # :::Fred smiles shyly at Victoria::
<RussellHolmes> Holmes, your forgetting the food supplies. Not everyone can exist on adventure alone.
<RussellHolmes> <Ah, add %>
<DWFred> # Victoria> As to the tests, very little information was given.
<Dr10> Yes, that is wwhat makes them tests.
<SHolmes> % hmmm..? Yes quite right
<DWFred> # Victoria> There are three tests to be passed.  As the poem stated, if all three tests are not passed, then the Bearer and the companions will not gain the Cup.
<Dr10> #
<SHolmes> % And some tins of sweetened milk and fish for our small green companion
<Dr10> # And somehow I suspect that is not all that happens when you fail the tests.
<IrishTCat> # Most of the tests I have seen traveling with Maker involve either getting horrible scarred or dead ..
<DWFred> # Victoria> The tests are named, but no other clue is given as to their nature.
<Dr10> #Names can be indicative. Irish, for example, is green.
<RussellHolmes> % Paterson>Ah yes... ah Holmes I realize you have a habit of meeting such colorful people, but whereever did you find a man with a talking cat?
<Dr10> #Happy St. Patrick's Day, Irish.
<DWFred> # I think you may find the names quite familiar, Doctor.
<IrishTCat> # Whats that mean ? 
<DWFred> # :::Victoria smiles just a teensy bit mischievously:::
<SHolmes> %As usual Paterson... they found me ::Smiles::
<IrishTCat> # Sait Patrick ? Who is he ? 
<SHolmes> <sorry brb>
<Dr10> Well, having confronted so many tests in my life of puzzle solution, it would be hard to predict just 3.
<DWFred> # The tests names are Faith, Hope and Love.
<RussellHolmes> % ::peeking around the corner at the connecting car:: I think in this case it is Lady Victoria who found the Doctor and his friends.
<SHolmes> <back>
<DWFred> <wb>
<Dr10> #::The Doctor stops still and thinks back -- "...and the greatest of these is..."
<DWFred> # Victoria> Indeed.
<Dr10> #Fenric. 
<SHolmes> % There is one more thing...
<RussellHolmes> % Penelope>::in a hushed voice so the others can't hear them:: Yes, she was rather peculiar about the Doctor's presence. You said she fortold the Doctor's arrival, Mary?
<SHolmes> % And shall we acquire any weapons, Russell? Or just depend on my old RIC bulldog?
<DWFred> Victoria > My parents were determined to bring me up with knowledge of both the Jewish and Christian faiths.
<Dr10> #Well, they aare intertwined in so many ways, yet very different in important ways.
<RussellHolmes> % ::considering both questions asked of her::
<IrishTCat> # Not my kind of tests then unless it involves a love of food , hope the Maker stays out of trouble , and faith that the human species is worth all the time and effort that we cats have put in to civilize.
<DWFred> <as far as I know, Fenric has nothing to do with this.  although, who knows, he may be part of the Cabal:-)>
<RussellHolmes> % I think we should be as cautious as possible Holmes. My instincts tell me there is more to this coincidental expedition than it seems.
<SHolmes> <After all, he is eeeevilll frrrrom the dawn of time ;-)>
<DWFred> # Victoria> Doctor, who do you think will be the Bearer?
<Dr10> <Line from the Curse of Fenric, tests meentioned by the Vicar of the church who feared the evvil there>
<DWFred> <i completeyl forgot that>
<RussellHolmes> % Paterson>Right, we could always acquire a few hunting rifles from the local, Holmes.
<IrishTCat> # Fred can carry the cup since I am not going to do it .. 
<Dr10> #Best not tto think too much of that Victroria. The time and the place will select the person, I am sure.
<Dr10> #I always advise handling fabulous artifacts as little as possible.
<DWFred> # :::Fred looks from the Doctor to Victoria and back.  She is sure she knows who the Bearer will be:::
<SHolmes> % And a good 12 bore would be welcome company after seeing those assasins of Lord Wyndham-Pryce
<Dr10> <See, I find DW references that aren't even there>
<DWFred> <I was glad to note that I spelled Wyndham-Pryce correctly>
<RussellHolmes> % Indeed. I would like to know about the weapon that caused those injuries. It seemed almost electrical in nature.
<DWFred> <very good Tuna>
<SHolmes> % Hm, add a pair of rubbers for eveyone Paterson
<Dr10> # Or perhaps the Cup will select.
<IrishTCat> <<Fenric was just mad because he wasnt a cat >> 
<SHolmes> % ::To Russell:: You never know... might help
<DWFred> # :::Victoria nods in agreement with the Doctor:::
<DocEight> <<lol Rob>>
<IrishTCat> [[Irish gets presented with pink rubber boots ]]

<DWFred> <you do know that victoria is wesley's great-great grandmother, right?>

<RussellHolmes> <Wesley of Buffy and Angel fandom>

<DocEight> Jen, I've finished updating the Vortex site, It's sitting on my Hard Drive waiting to be uploaded.

<TheBrig> Shorts and t shirt weather here :-)
<RussellHolmes> Cool.
<RussellHolmes> Then it's time for some Borg, Davros, Chaotica and Voyager.
<AlxKeegan> I will need to write a log also, to tie up all the threads
<RussellHolmes> I'm thinking of throwing in some Fair Haven... the holographic Irish town.
