My apologies. Did that hurt at all, because it definitely sounds uncomfortable. Anyway, I have remembered the question I was thinking of last night. Sorry, I seem to be full of questions at the moment, but then I was told that my first word was why (I think my parents were kidding) :). How do the Heralds buy things?. I mean, the Heraldic Cicle supplies them with clothing (Heraldic whites I mean), food and shelter, but what about if they wanted to buy something like musical scores (Talia and Dirk I was thinking of here). I know I remember somewhere they had the musical score to a particular song. And what about non-Heraldic clothing?. Can anyone remember?.

I started one with friends that never got beyond a paragraph.

Ob-misty (kinda, okay not really but it's very late) Remember the yearbook thing about a month ago? well i did keep track of it and have the results. I'll post them tomorrow if I get the chance.

If I remember correctly it was Skif throwing her a pouch of money when Kris and her were coming back from her Feild Training, though it could have been Kris throwing it to her. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Megan E.

The specific point I'm thinking of is when he is unpacking in Haven and he is "surprised" to find all the stipend pouches.

Message-ID: <20000421.073542.-4051829.0.efoxvog-+AT+-juno.com> Un-Lurking to say "Count me in as well"! As I get ready to duck, this is my first post to the list. Even as a lurker, I want to extend a THANK YOU to everyone, as this list does make everyone, even lurkers, feel welcome. That said, I did not see anything in the newbie FAQ regarding the stories that ML wrote for three of David Arkenstone's CD's. The music and the stories are favorites of mine. I usually give them a listen to at least two or three times a week as they have become some of my favorite morning drive-time music. Being a huge fan of everything set in Velgarth, I almost always think of them when I listen to the discs as well, although I don't think we'll see many electrified instruments there very soon.

A really enjoyable read. Where can I find other SKitty stories? Regarding familiars: maybe the mages in question didn't want to spend their power in acquiring one.
