"Aw come on! The man only fell asleep! And besides it's your fault, you surprising me and all with the news of my father." Here she pouts and eyes the newcomers intently.
William plants a stern scowl at the young woman before continuing with his introductions.

"These fine people are all close associates o yer father. This 'ere is Van, master of the residence, Lucius and Deari." He then looks at Van. "Did you happen to find out when Jacob is going to be available? Or does he need someone to pick up his groceries as well?" William says with a brush of sarcasm. It is obvious that he has had to endure somewhat of an ordeal in producing the daughter of their friend.



Aw cmon your not already fed up with her? HAHAHHAHHAHAHHA

OOC: and the question I'd really like to make: so, what club do you work in, and when are your shows?

Okay just got home..... My Father was part of Everest 2009 he climbed to the base camp, actually. 17,500 ft! Was for the make a wish foundation actually. The climb as his 65th bday gift to himself, heh.

So I am now advancing it to the 5th and any business needed to be done that day, uncluding the party.

Whatever gift you decide for him is fine by me. Now the maps mentioned by AG Thing would be perfect along with the case Lucius mentioned.

First of all, congratulations on your father. It really is an admirable feat, moreso at his age, so... yeah, send him my felicitations if you will :-)

Next, it was Deari who proposed the 'case', along with the maps, and I also think this idea is very nice. Lucius is in favour of going for it too. After hearing the alternative, he thinks it might be more interesting than the cane he suggested.

Oh, and btw... "monkey business": one more funny expression for my English arsenal :lol: very funny too...

He climbed everest... Well that is awesome!!! How short of the summit was he when he turned back... Most people never go to the top... Heck birds can't even fly over the top...

Still awesome!

Did he bring you a t-shirt!!! You know... Something along the lines of oh......

"I climbed to the everest base camp, and all I got was this lousy shirt... Which did not help the frostbite on the return trip!"

Just kidding with the frostbite...

Anyways he went for the make a wish foundation huh... Who wished for your father to climb the mountain for them or was he there on more mundane preparations? Still seems like quite and adventure!

He did it for his 65th b-day gift to himself. He can afford to pay the Sherpa's who carried his stock. I didn't get a tee shirt but got him back :P

Kind of freaky adventure story here from his mouth:

At the base camp, there are tents everywhwere. Some are the toilets. A woman approaches one. Remember, the base camp is pretty much on a glacier. So as she is about to reach into the tent, well that part of the iceberg decides, "I'm leaving now" and breaks off, falling 40 feet! I guess it wasn't her time, heh!

Back to thet game. Yeah, I am playing Delsenora on purpose like that. So don't mind the corny lines she goves Cornelius. You've been warned, she digs the stout folk and doesn't really care what Jacob has to say about it!

Everest! Wow! Your dad lived one of the most amazing experiences I think! I'm glad he made it back after your last post!

My aunt has gone to Everest too and said that was amazing, she went also to the top of it with helicopter and even tossed a small Greek flag! Ahh, and of course she got me a t-shit, but was from Nepal, not from Everest but was a really cool one, one of my favourites :)

Your aunt too, Van?

Wow... why don't I have anyone in the family remotely close to doing that ? :shock:

Congratulations then to your aunt too, Van. It must have been an awesome experience, and you both must be very proud of your relatives.

Maybe this is some sort of drowish greeting? Who knows with these outlanders?

My aunt went there 20 years ago actually when she was 35 or so, nothing to compare with Tarlyn's dad who went there at his 65!
