Heck, just grind them beneath your heel into the dirt. The friction is bound to cause a spark. If not, stomping always work :D

*lurks in the background and plots*

*gets bored with the effort*

Welcome back back mate! You really haven't missed much, so it's good to see you around :D

M'hael? Guess you must predate Dramon then :P The handle JudaSword sounds vaguely familar from back on the old Ezboards, but guess Skechid is the only one still around you recognise :P Good to see another OLD face come back though :D

Arani, send me an outline with what you've got planned, and I'll take a look. Unless she's a full fledged AS though, the answer's pretty much going to be no.

Still, send me a PM and we'll see. :)

Well Covai's hanging around the BT, so I'm up for it. Or we can have your AS as one of the first to visit the BT along with the AS already bonded. As long as we have the chronology worked out for the record, AS can turn up the the BT :)

Any BTers wanting to RP at the WT, either need to be part of the bonding party we've had already, or we can retcon you into it. Unless you're looking at a month or more down the line?

Just rambling some input, since I wanna RP too :D

Wow.... looks like I walked into the room and an interesting time :P

Still here,

Covai Seriba

Aka GOD :D

Yes Arath does, but they say a good anti-bacterial cream can clear that right up :P

Yeah I'm back, Sorry about the delay Arath. Been flat out with work for Obama's trip to Canberra (which has now been pushed back to June >:-() I'm here now with a brandnew laptop so things are looking good.

I'm guessing Skechid can keep with the OP and Bio submissions (let me know if you want to do either, or both), but any issues can come to me instead of Elgee. She's got her hands busy as it is :P

I'll see if I can work into the welcome back RP you and Arath have atm if you like. Or would you like to start something else? We are the only ones who can (besides dashiva if he's still around) to the old RP where Andar brought Koras, Zybnek and the rest of us back to the tower :D

I'm pretty sure Dalinar and Andar's old offices are around the place if you want to cause chaos. Heck, I reckon even Dramon's old ones are around here too somewhere :P

(Only the REAL oldies are going to know who those folks even are :D)

Well vacation's over. I'm at the airport waiting for my flight in an hour, so from tomorrow it'll be back to normal(ish) for me  :'(  Its been a blast, but all good things must come to an end.

*sulks heads off to find somewhere that sells beer at the airport*

OOC: Anybody else, or can we get going?

Wow, that was a fast response!  :o

Well it does have a certain charm to it :D

Don't forget I check out sunday morning, so its tonight or Saturday night. I'm in Surfers atm (hence the net access :P). Free drinks are from 5:30-7:00. Lounge closes after that and we have to pay at the bar :(

So yeah, hurry up and drag somebody into babysitting! :P

Sounds good to me :)

Semi drunk update so far

A heavy night drinking followed by a day of highspeed theme park rides is definetely NOT one of my brightest ideas

Saying you work at another Hyatt is a great way to get free drinks at the bar

Saying you're from Canberra is a really amusing way to get people talking about pornography and fireworks (Lavinya is probably the one getting this reference about Canberra :P)

I am officially a monkey, soon do graduate to chimpanzee, or maybe a gorilla.

I have some really weird sunburn patterns on my back, which I'm still not sure how they got into that shape

Queensland drivers are stupid

Thats it for the first three days. I'll keep you all posted :D

Oh, and lavy, you still have my number right? If not, just call the Hyatt at Sanctuary Covai and ask for me :P

Sorry this is late notice, but I will be gone from 25th-31st of January. I'm heading up to the sunny Australian Gold Coast and spending 6 lovely nights at a 5-star hotel :D

So yeah, I'm probably not going to check the boards much, but I've got msn and email on my phone if people need to get in contact with me. Besides that, take care and have fun folks :D:D:D:D:D:D

Copy cat :P

Looks great to me :D

"They're a group who can track better than anybody here at the tower. They can use Tel'Aran'Rhiod to boot." Covai explained. A few nights at the White Tower had given him a few new tricks in the world of dreams, but he was still well below the abilities of the Wolfkin. Still, if Telnor or the others recognised him it could be interesting to show off a few tricks.

Resigning himself to escort duty, Covai turned to Nakor. "Go get four other Asha'man, or dedicated who can use gateways. We'll be heading to a stedding within the hour."

Waving the man off so Arath and he could talk privately, Covai lowered his voice a notch. "I won't be able to stay there for long since I'm still handling things at the White Tower. You feel comfortable leaving somebody else in charge?"

OOC: This is where everybody jumps in and we head off. Arath, no need to reply. Just making sure my post didn't just cut off badly :P

Well I'm still hear. Arath and Dashiva are too. We're probably about the only people you remember :P

Oh, the traitor tree is long gone as well. We blew it up in a Bubble of Evil RP where it started attacking everybody  ;D

The slap wasn't completely unexpected, but it still managed to make Covai's head spin. Stifling a laugh, Covai rubbed the red mark on his cheek. He had deserved it, it was true. A question from the sidelines distracted him momentarily though.

Larindhra watched Zarinen and this Covai with horror. Suddenly that horror shifted, as her own words came back to her. "Highest, it will be as you command. Should the Black Tower accept our ... offer, I will bond as many Asha'man as are willing."

Oh Light ... Sitting up, she turned towards Covai and asked in a faint voice. "Exactly how many of your ... Asha'man are willing to Bond, my good man?" She watched as the man stood there rubbing his cheek as if he was stroking a beard. "Oh, I'd say about tweleve dozen or so."

Larindhra slid to the floor in a boneless faint.

Covai raised an eyebrow in suprised as one of the Reds dropped to the floor. He had never seen somebody....crumpled like that was they fell. Realising he had make a mistake, Covai shook his head to clear it. "Sorry, I meant twelve is a dozen, or about that numbers." For the first time in the room he actually felt a little sheepish. Trying to shift the blame, he pointed at Zarinen. "Hey, after a hit like that your numbers would be a bit hazy too!"

Laughter from Arath and a few strange looks seemed to lessen the tension again. Dropping his head almost sadly at how quickly things seemed to have gone from diplomatic mission to almost drunken logic, Covai guestured towards the door to the antechamber.

"Well, Zarinen and I have set the mark. Shall I introduce you ladies to the men I've brought with me?"

OOC: Thats it for this thread people. For those of you who are now bonding, jump into the other thread http://forums.dragonmount.com/index.php/topic,47624.0.html which has everybody in the other room. Pair off and snag yourself a partner! :D

"Alright, we get the idea." Covai interrupted. Placing his hands on the ends of his chair. "May as well keep the procedings moving before we get bogged down in talks again." Covai didn't even need to look to Arath to see which of them would be bonding, they had already talked about it. As much as Arath hated to admit there was something worse than paperwork, the man drew the line at having an extra voice inside his head.

Standing up, Covai took a step towards the Red he had singled out before. Bowing low, almost as if asking for a dance, Covai spoke what just just a few days ago he would have considered to be his death sentence. "Greetings Aes Sedai. I am Covai Seriba, Tsrovan'M'hael of the Black Tower, and loyal follower of the Jarron Al'Tanin, the Dragon Reborn." Seizing the source as he stood, Covai somehow managed to edge out a little humor from the stillness of the void. "Care to bond?"

Despite the forced banter between the two moments ago, Covai was almost pleased to see it wasn't the one called Jagen who stepped forward. It was the one who's eyes he had caught before. He almost wanted to grin, but stopped himself. Aes Sedai were far better players of Dae'Daers'Mai than he was. So he still couldn't be sure he had read the situation right. Still, at worst at least he had a good looking one. Whether that was for better or for worse, time would tell.

"Greetings Asha'man. I am Zarinen Rafaliva of the Red Ajah." Covai could have sworn he saw a hint of something flash through her eyes, but it was gone before he could read it. "I will agree to being bonded with you, as an Aes Sedai of the White Tower."

Preparing the the weave as he closed the distance between them, Covai stopped infront of her to adress the the rest of the room. "If anybody has anything further to add, speak now. Else stand and bear witness to a new age." A look over his shoulder showed him nobody moved to stop him. Covai let out a breath he hadn't realised he'd been holding. "So it is then."

Reaching out, Covai took Zarinen's cheek in the palm of his hand and reaching around her waist with his other, pulled her close. He could smell the perfume she wore, and even the smell of her hair as he pressed against her. Sliding his hand from her cheek to her chin, Covai tilted her head back gently, ignoring the muffled indignation from the women near her. Burn them Covai mused. If I'm going to do this, I might as well enjoy it.Releasing the weave of spirit as their lips connected, Covai spun the other four elements around it, he guide the weave around them, and then through both of their bodies.

The sudden ball of emotions in his head was enough for him to release his grip, both on her and on Saidin. Shaking his head a little to clear it, Covai remember the last time he had bonded, albiet briefly. No attempts at shaking his head, or filling it with booze would change things. He was now connected to, and with this woman. Might was well get used to it.

Pushing the knot he felt to the side, Covai brought a slightly cheeky grin to his face. "So, was it was good for you was it was me?"

OOC: Well, thats the first bonding done. One Elgee responds (and let me know if you want me to edit anything by the way), we'll head out into the antechamber and let the pairings off begin.

*Breaks out the safe to drink BT wine supply*

Cherry Mistmas everyone :D

Yeah sorry about that, the thread's waiting on my reply. I'll have to post up tomorrow. My grandmother's going into hospital tomorrow due with a possible cancer scare, so its a bit haphazard for me now. She'll probably be fine, but I'm still running a lot of errands :S

So yeah, post up tomorrow, then anybody who wants in can join :D

I'm not sure if 'holy crap' are the best words to use if you're 'feeling' her :P

Still, good luck with the work :D

Covai nodded. "Thats fine with us. And the same applies for Asha'man. As we've said, this is to be fair both ways." Covai wondered if the word fair was accurate, given the situation. Light, considering the tone the conversation a few minutes ago, he figured there had to have been a Ta'veren nearby or the creator stepping in to get things back on track this quickly.

Covai's eyes darted between the women in the room. He knew these had to be some of the more powerful women in the tower. He didn't know, and to be honest he didn't care whether they had been called to protect the Amrylin from them, or were there because she trusted them before others. He had spotted a few looks between them while Arath had been talking, and it seemed there were one or two who were a step above the others. "Looks like not all Aes Sedai are created equal..." Covai eyes lingered for a moment one of the more well endowed Aes Sedai. What in the light was the woman doing wearing a Domani outfit?

Bringing his mind back to the matter at hand, Covai and Arath shared a look. They both knew they were almost finished with what Jarron had sent them to do, but there was still something else the council had talked about after they had left for Tar Valon. Covai guessed he had opened his big mouth enough so far, so he might as well keep at it.

"There is one more thing. Not a demand, but a condition such as your disallow of forced bonds." Covai held up a hand pacifictically "Which we agree with by the way. Its another point about who bonds, and who doesn't."

"Whilst we agree only those who agree to being bonded shall be, the issue of rank between the towers is another matter. Just as we don't expect the Amrylin to be bonded by an Asha'man due to her status, don't expect to bond an Attack or Storm Leader without being prepared for an Aes Sedai of equal status being bonded as well. The council has already discussed this matter, and you will find unless we bond like for like, they will refused a bonding"

Covai's eyes almost casually went to the Red wearing the Domani outfit. "Sound fair?"
