Notes: this log was created by [[Deamhan]] and is from his point of view. I don’t know the exact time frame it was created.
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Hope to see you again soon'. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'whoops'. 
 
You say (in common), 'I will be taking off before too long too, but we can chat another few minutes'. 
 
Dalmiera nods. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Ok :)'. 
 
You say (in common), 'So...now you know the taste of another's blood'. 
 
Dalmiera nods slowly, still amazed at how it feels. 
 
Deamhan laughs as a sudden thought occurs to him. 
You say (in common), 'Mine is actually probably a little...unusual'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Oh?'. 
 
You say (in common), 'It's been more centuries than I can count since I was mortal'. 
You say (in common), 'and for several of them I've been Kissing only a goddess...'. 
You say (in common), 'Her blood is...overpoweringly stronger than anything else I ever tasted'. 
 
Dalmiera giggles softly. 
 
You say (in common), 'so you may have gotten the high-proof stuff, so to speak'. 
You grin neutrally. 
 
Dalmiera laughs gently. 
 
You shrug. 
You say (in common), 'It will be a little different every time'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'It still feels...so incredible...'. 
 
You nod in recognition to her. 
You say (in common), 'There is nothing like it'. 
You say (in common), 'Not even the...mortal form of love between two people'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Deamhan, can i ask you something?'. 
 
You say (in common), 'of course'. 
 
Within The Tapestry of Fate 
[Exits: north up] 
Stepping through the spider-web, you find yourself standing beneath countless 
stars... no, not stars, but strands of light, their incandescent glow pushing 
back the darkness that would otherwise overcome you. 
 
You stand on a circular cathedra of dusky marble striated with silvery 
gray. Four titanic, equidistantly spaced archways of albescent jade yearn 
upward towards the lights above you. Sable fires seethe within three of 
them, a spider-web fillin g the fourth. In the center of the rostrum stands an 
intricately carved wooden loom. It is cool here, like the first misty chill of 
twilight, and you shiver slightly, hair prickling on the back of your neck as 
you realize: Perhaps this is no place for a mortal to be. 
The Loom of the Weaver is here, coruscating with an unearthly radiance. 
Dalmiera is resting here. 
 
> cl n 
You close the spider-web. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'My father...was he...a monster?'. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'What you know of him?'. 
 
You ftell, 'i've got the temple door closed while i talk to dalmiera so no little wankers wander in, but feel free to come in if you need...'. 
 
Durin ftells, 'Satan is a Dwarf!'. 
 
You say (in common), 'I cannot speak from much personal knowledge of him. But I doubt it.'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'All those who knew him best seem to be dead or missing, so Im only able to pick up snippets'. 
 
You say (in common), 'Khore accepted many folk, who dealt with their Thirst in many different ways'. 
You say (in common), 'but the Lord always required an honorable soul'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'I see..'. 
 
You say (in common), 'I am sure that there were times in his life when he lost control'. 
You say (in common), 'it happens to us all, especially early on'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'So It will happen to me too?'. 
 
You say (in common), 'It will'. 
 
Dalmiera nods. 
 
You say (in common), 'But over time you will learn to control it and...channel it'. 
 
Dalmiera sighs softly. 
 
You hug her. 
 
Dalmiera blinks, surprised at the hug. 
 
You say (in common), 'Do not think, however difficult it gets, that you are alone'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Im sorry..not used to those...been since I left home..'. 
 
You nod. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'I have to ask this...'. 
 
You nod. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Did you ever hear of my father taking a woman for a lover?'. 
 
You say (in common), 'I am sorry, but I do not remember one way or the other'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'At least I KNOW my father's name...I still have no idea about my mother at all'. 
 
You nod. 
You say (in common), 'Cordir told me'. 
You say (in common), 'and I sympathize'. 
You say (in common), 'My twin and I did not know who our parents were for many years'. 
 
Dalmiera nods. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'I thought I would ask...I keep hoping to run into someone who might know'. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'I know of only one name that knew him well'. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'And she hasnt been seen for longer than my father'. 
 
You nod. 
You say (in common), 'Who?'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Ginny..I was told she and he were...close...'. 
 
You say (in common), 'ah'. 
You say (in common), 'yes'. 
You say (in common), 'but you are correct, Ginny has been gone a very long time'. 
 
Deamhan clears his throat. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Only other names are those that people think might be a name...molar, Crisnea'. 
 
You nod. 
You say (in common), 'There were...among the Kindred, many hunters'. 
 
Dalmiera nods. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'So Ive heard...'. 
 
You say (in common), 'who chose to go with their Thirst more often than others of us'. 
You say (in common), 'I was briefly among them'. 
 
Dalmiera nods slowly, listening. 
 
You say (in common), 'If you decide that is your path'. 
You say (in common), 'There are a few things I can teach you'. 
You say (in common), 'Do not decide now'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'I know this much about myself, Deamhan'. 
 
You say (in common), 'It is not a decision to be made lightly, or a path you can step off of easily, ocne you start'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Even though I may fail at times, I dont want to hurt anyone'. 
 
You nod. 
 
You say (in common), 'each path has its trials, and you will find your control tested many times'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'I know I have a temper, Ive lost that a few times in my life'. 
 
You nod. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Im worried about failing though'. 
 
Deamhan sighs and looks at his hands. 
You say (in common), 'I won't gloss it over: you will almost certainly fail at least once'. 
You say (in common), 'When you do, don't give up'. 
You say (in common), 'don't assume it makes you a monster forever'. 
You say (in common), 'and don't curl up in a corner nursing your wounds and hating yourself'. 
 
Dalmiera nods solemnly. 
 
You say (in common), 'Come talk to me, or failing that, to Cordir'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'ok..Ill try not to'. 
 
You say (in common), 'or Cirth if you can find him - he was among the Kindred and is of the Chosen now, though not often here'. 
 
You say (in common), 'I have done things, in the grip of the Thirst, that brought me great shame'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Deamhan..if...the Thirst...becomes too strong again...if you are here...'. 
 
Deamhan glances at his hand. 
 
Dalmiera lets her voice trail off, unable to say the rest of her thoughts. 
 
You say (in common), 'If it would help you not to hurt someone, if that is important to you'. 
You say (in common), 'Then you may ask'. 
 
Dalmiera nods gratefully. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'You said i was the only one like this...am I a freak of some kind?'. 
 
You laugh. 
You say (in common), 'who isn't?'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Part human, part elf, part...vampire..'. 
 
You say (in common), 'Has Cordir told you who my parents are? I'm fairly one of a kind too'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'no..I’m afraid not..I’ve been kind of self-absorbed the last few years'. 
 
You say (in common), 'My mother is a mortal half-elven woman'. 
You say (in common), 'My...father.'. 
You say (in common), 'Vil'. 
You say (in common), 'One of the princes of the Demon Realm'. 
 
Dalmiera blinks. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'So you're...part demon?'. 
 
Deamhan sits calmly, but you feel him tense. 
 
You say (in common), 'My...father'. 
You say (in common), 'is the prime cause of most of the events that caused me to lose control to my Thirst'. 
You say (in common), 'He and I are not close'. 
Deamhan smiles tightly. 
 
Dalmiera nods slowly, looking at you in sudden understanding. 
 
You say (in common), 'But yes, I am part demon'. 
 
Dalmiera takes your hand, squeezing it sympathetically. 
 
You smile at her. 
You say (in common), 'So we're both a little freaky...makes life interesting, hmm?'. 
You grin neutrally. 
 
Deamhan stretches and snickers. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'I promise, I wont think any less or more of you because of your heritage..'. 
 
You say (in common), 'I haven't manifested the more demonic parts of my appearance for some time now...I don't want to, but they're there'. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'and yes, it does make things a bit freaky at times'. 
 
You grin neutrally. 
 
You say (in common), 'Well, I don't want you to think being a vampire is all either the ecstasy of the Kiss or the agony of the Thirst'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Ill just get to know you, and like you for that, rather than the half demon stuff, if that's ok?'. 
 
You laugh. 
You say (in common), 'Preferable'. 
 
Dalmiera smiles softly, squeezing your hand once more before letting go. 
 
You say (in common), 'You'll find yourself much stronger and faster than you used to be...that can be fun'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Ive noticed that..I can run to the baker and back like the wind'. 
 
You grin neutrally. 
 
You say (in common), 'and should someone big and nasty corner you, a tiny defenseless little woman...well, it's always nice to see the look on their face'. 
You grin neutrally. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'I seem to hit a lot harder now than I did 2 years ago...'. 
 
You nod. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'So I should...show them my teeth?'. 
 
You grin neutrally. 
You say (in common), 'You do this:'. 
 
Deamhan stands, calmly, just a lean half-elf, not scary at all. 
Deamhan doesn't move a muscle, but _looks_ at you, and smiles, ever so slightly. 
 
You say (in common), 'That's the look you want'. 
You say (in common), 'Scares hell out of people'. 
You smile happily. 
 
You say (in common), 'Much fun'. 
 
Dalmiera steps back despite herself. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'wow.. I’ll try it.. though I don’t think I can match you'. 
 
You laugh. 
 
You say (in common), 'Give yourself as many centuries of practice as I've had'. 
You grin neutrally. 
 
Dalmiera giggles. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Ok...'. 
 
You say (in common), 'Oh'. 
You say (in common), 'one more rather essential thing'. 
 
Dalmiera nods to you, listening. 
 
You say (in common), 'Have you got yourself somewhere absolutely safe and completely dark to spend the day?'. 
 
You say (in common), 'If you've been scrounging for places the last few years'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Well...I haven’t found the need for that yet. .I’ve heard vampires need to sleep in places out of the sun'. 
 
You say (in common), 'then finding yourself a sanctuary will be something you will want to do as soon as you can'. 
 
You say (in common), 'If you don't need it yet, well enough for now'. 
You say (in common), 'But find somewhere, in case you someday do need it'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'As long as the sun doesn’t touch my skin directly, I seem to be ok, but bright light hurts, and direct sunlight will burn.. I found that out recently'. 
Dalmiera pulls her hair back from the right side of her face, showing a nasty burn. 
You nod in recognition to her. 
 
You say (in common), 'The first dawn after my Embrace...'. 
You say (in common), 'I couldn't bear to say goodbye to the sun so quickly'. 
You say (in common), 'I learned that lesson right quick...'. 
 
Deamhan rubs his hand along his face, remembering. 
 
You shrug. 
You say (in common), 'in an emergency, you can always come here'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'I stepped out of the arena, into my hometown, and into pain..I ran back but not in time'. 
 
You nod. 
 
Deamhan glances around sardonically at the flames in the arches. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Long as I wear a helmet I seem to be ok'. 
 
You say (in common), 'I don't recommend sleeping here - the flames will make it hard'. 
You say (in common), 'but in an emergency'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'In some lands they like to suntan.. I think I can get an allover tan in one minute just by walking out naked'. 
 
You smirk. 
You say (in common), 'more like a burn'. 
 
Dalmiera nods ruefully. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'true'. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'The Sleep...what is it? Cause outside my normal being tired, I don’t feel anything different that way'. 
 
You say (in common), 'then maybe it doesn't affect you yet'. 
You say (in common), 'If you begin to always know exactly how long it is until sunset or dawn'. 
You say (in common), 'then you may start to Sleep...'. 
You say (in common), 'you'll fall asleep exactly as the sun rises and wake exactly as it sets, unless you fight it'. 
You say (in common), 'you can stay awake past dawn if you need, but it's hard'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'ok...I generally have a horrid sense of time, if that changes, I’ll know what it is then'. 
 
You nod. 
You say (in common), 'if you start taking naps during the day but always know exactly where the sun is even in a dark room...'. 
You grin neutrally. 
You say (in common), 'pretty good sign'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), '(Gads Ive missed roleplaying)'. 
 
You say (in common), '(laugh)'. 
You say (in common), '(i am so jealous of nikki having recho, makes storytelling much more flexible)'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), '(lol - That it does)'. 
 
You smirk. 
You say (in common), 'And speaking of'. 
You say (in common), 'The sun is soon to rise'. 
You say (in common), 'So I am off to bed'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), '(has she mentioned who this is BTW)?'. 
Dalmiera nods. 
 
You say (in common), '(yeah)'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), '(Ok - Just wanted to make sure you knew)'. 
 
You say (in common), 'You know where to find me, and you are always welcome to visit here'. 
You smile happily. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Thank you so much Deamhan..I feel so much better'. 
 
You smile at her. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Im hoping to join her someday'. 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'This is where I want to be'. 
 
You say (in common), 'It will be a pleasure to have you with us, if that's your fate'. 
 
You frown at what she did. 
 
The spider-web opens. 
 
Durin arrives from the north. 
 
You say (in common), 'Young lady...'. 
 
Durin rests. 
Durin grins neutrally. 
Durin closes the spider-web. 
 
You say (in common), 'you have not eaten the entire time we've been talking'. 
 
Durin stands up. 
Durin utters the words, 'create food'. 
A Magic Mushroom suddenly appears.

Durin says (in common), 'Hi Dalmiera'. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Ah..Durin is it?'. 
 
Durin says (in common), 'oops, Khad invis'd me'. 
 
Durin beams a smile at Dalmiera. 
 
Dalmiera giggles. 
 
Dalmiera offers her hand to Durin. 
 
Durin says (in common), 'eat!'. 
Durin says (in common), 'eat!'. 
 
Durin utters the words, 'create food'. 
A Magic Mushroom suddenly appears. 
 
Dalmiera giggles. 
 
You give a Magic Mushroom to Dalmiera.

Durin utters the words, 'create food'. 
A Magic Mushroom suddenly appears. 
 
Dalmiera gets a Magic Mushroom. 
Dalmiera eats a Magic Mushroom. 
Dalmiera eats a Magic Mushroom. 
 
Dalmiera says (in common), 'Thank you...Both hungers sated in one evening'. 
 
You tell Dalmiera (in common), 'The more bodily urges you've got yammering at you, the harder it will be to control the Thirst...so don't forget to eat :>'. 
 
Durin says (in common), 'both?'. 
 
You chuckle.
