From: endeavor@mit.edu (Kate Mahoney) *** EOOH *** Date: 5 May 1997 23:01:26 -0400 To: Jasmine of Amber Subject: [Hydra] Next couple of days... From: endeavor@mit.edu (Kate Mahoney) Concentrating on your relatives at least the first couple of days, you have Random and Vialle, the King and Queen. You don't see a whole lot of them. Random's son, Martin, is generally in and out of Amber on a fairly frequent basis. On any given day, he seems to spend at least some of it in Amber and some of it, you're not sure where. You get the impression he's at least a little bit "in the know" about what Random is thinking, but can't be sure on that count. He's a little bit, well, irreverant is the best word you can think of to describe him. Martin has a younger half brother, Nathan, who is also in and out of shadow, but his trips are longer. He's been away since you got here, apparently with Deirdre's daughter, Elena, who's only newly come to Amber (found by Corwin, apparently) and has not yet walked the Pattern. Benedict's son, Alexander, is in Amber these days, though he doesn't seem to have any official duties. He and Martin have been switching off watching Morley. He's cool and not very talkative, though you gather that he's downright loquacious compared to his father, whom you've never met. Benedict apparently doesn't spend much time in Amber. Cedric (the blond you met on the stairs), is apparently the son of a long dead uncle named Absalom. He made his way to Amber somehow, seeking information about his father, only to discover he was dead. Since his arrival, he's spent much of his time in the library, brooding. He's quiet and sullen, but not as much so as his manservant, Tibbet, who follows him everywhere. Cedric has his father's pattern sword, Yaghijan, which has not been seen in Amber since before Absalom's death. Julian and his son Gregory spend most of their time in Arden. They remind ou a lot of each other. Caine is in Amber a lot these days. Keeping an eye on the Morley situation you gather. When you talk to him, his manages to seem both charming and faintly mocking at the same time. You gather he also has an official position with the navy. Gerard is also an Admiral, and has taken part of the fleet off to Gossol. Corwin, Bleys, and Llewella aren't in Amber at the moment, though you gather Corwin and Bleys have both been here in the past couple months, at least. Fiona isn't around after dinner the first night, that you notice. You're getting a general feel for the layout of the castle. A tailor and his assistant's come by to measure you and get some information for clothing the next day.  1,, Received: from PACIFIC-CARRIER-ANNEX.MIT.EDU by po7.MIT.EDU (5.61/4.7) id AA17625; Thu, 8 May 97 22:49:03 EDT Received: from ginger.vnet.net by MIT.EDU with SMTP id AA09353; Thu, 8 May 97 21:48:25 EST Received: from catdragon.vnet.net (catdragon.vnet.net [166.82.175.114]) by ginger.vnet.net (8.8.5/8.8.2) with SMTP id WAA18445 for ; Thu, 8 May 1997 22:49:07 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970508225030.007a1590@pop2.vnet.net> X-Sender: catdrag@pop2.vnet.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Thu, 08 May 1997 22:51:02 -0400 To: endeavor@MIT.EDU (Kate Mahoney) From: "Robert H.

Morley's ship is under guard in port. It's pretty badly damaged as is the one from the royal (Gossol) navy which apparently captured her and a merchant ship apparently used by the pirates as part of the trap. (The later looks as though it's probably simply going to be scrapped, having sustained an immense amount of damage.) Most of the pirate crew are in prison in the city. If you start asking about Morley in general, you get a number of stories of a fairly ruthless and skilled pirate, the daughter of the priate Harry Black (sometimes known as Black Harry). Apparently she's also taken out a number of her most feared rivals as well as a great many merchant ships. She is not popular here and you get a sense of irritation at Amber for sheltering the pirate Morely Black.  1,, Received: from PACIFIC-CARRIER-ANNEX.MIT.EDU by po7.MIT.EDU (5.61/4.7) id AA00194; Mon, 23 Jun 97 21:19:35 EDT Received: from elvis.vnet.net by MIT.EDU with SMTP id AA24429; Mon, 23 Jun 97 21:18:30 EDT Received: from catdragon.vnet.net (catdragon.vnet.net [166.82.175.114]) by elvis.vnet.net (8.8.5/8.8.4) with SMTP id VAA09012; Mon, 23 Jun 1997 21:19:30 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <3.0.32.19970623211914.007df940@pop.vnet.net> X-Sender: catdrag@pop.vnet.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32) Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 21:20:31 -0400 To: endeavor@MIT.EDU (Kate Mahoney) From: "Robert H.

IIRC, Morley said she was set up. Yes, she was a pirate, but she was accused of killing some one in cold blood, when she didn't. I have no desire to open a formal or informal dialogue with the people in Gopssel. I am just gathering information. So, my next step is seeing if Admiral Perkins is in Gossel. I will start asking about the famed pirate hunter Perkins and if I could get a glimpse of the man. OOC: Basically, Jasmine is at loose ends. There was no one to talk to in the castle (or at least no one that wanted to talk to her), nothing going on, and pretty boring. After walking the Pattern, she now has the ability to do what she wants to do. However... One night, in the seclusion of an inn room, Jasmine will pull out her trump cards and leaf through them. After debating internally, she will pick up her Mom's and study it carefully, concentrating on it to see if Mom wants to talk.
