\\\\Stargazer////
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: Tal Brother ... I have a small matter to discuss with You ... perhaps it best done in the open as I am not one to create secrets in such matters
(00:03:30 M)
\\\KANE///
says to \\\\Stargazer////City Se: Watches
(00:03:44 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
hai... nothin secret in Tuchuk.... ***grin***... we ain't built that way
(00:04:56 )
\\\\Stargazer////
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: *moves over to Your furs and stands next to You and looks You over* .. for the first time I have a bit of a complaint with the Ubar of Harriga .. You My Brother are out of Uniform .... something I and KANE would like to fix I think.
(00:06:08 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \\\\Stargazer////City Se: damn... first time??? must be doon somethin wrong... ~stills and waits... ***Scorpio eyes*** watchful...~
(00:06:22 M) \\\KANE/// - Camp Second - C.O.H - MagnaChat : Rises up and moves to stand with My Brothers.......roaring out.....LISTEN UP.....TUCHUK
(00:07:34 )
~tieri{CH}~R~
says to \\\KANE/// - Camp Second: (Becomes more alert)
(00:09:03 )
\\\\Stargazer////
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: I am sure there are many here that agree .... with what I am about to say ... and that might be the firs time for that. My Brother... You are generous with Your time and praise of Others.. You have Our back in times of need You wear the title of Warder .... but more then that .. for U/us .. . ALL of Us that know You .. .. You live it .. not as a tag line or "cute" title but as a manner of being .. its Your Gorean existance.
(00:10:30 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to ALL: ~listens...~
(00:12:28 )
\\\\Stargazer////
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: *reaches down and picks up the grass and dirt and thrusts in Your hands and You have done to Mine so long ago* .. This grass and dirt is the mother and father of the Tuchuk ... and You are Our Brother .... but today (and for those following along this is very onlinism and dont much care) ... there is something that is wished to be bestowed upon You.
(00:12:48 )
\\\\Stargazer////
says to ~tieri{CH}~R~ ~senior tr: tieri the orange paint pot please
(00:13:08 )
~tieri{CH}~R~
says to \\\KANE/// - Camp Second: (Looks to Master for permission)
(00:13:30 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \\\\Stargazer////City Se: ~holds grass and dirt with one of five that truly merit the word Trusted... ~listens...~~
(00:13:30 M)
\\\KANE///
says to ~tieri{CH}~R~ ~senior tr: go girl
(00:14:08 )
~tieri{CH}~R~
says to \\\KANE/// - Camp Second: Thank You, Master. (The slave hops up and darts away, long legs carrying her over the space to the grey bosk hide)
(00:14:16 )
\\\\Stargazer////
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: Honor is important to Goreans, in a way that those of Earth might find it hard to understand; for example, those of Earth find it natural that men should go to war over matters of gold and riches, but not honor; the Gorean, contrariwise, is more willing to submit matters of honor to the adjudication of steel than he is matters of riches and gold; there is a simple explanation for this; honor is more important to him
(00:15:06 )
~tieri{CH}~R~
says to \\\\Stargazer////City Se: (Arriving there, she picks up the pack kept there for such occasions and retrieves the pot of orange scarring paint. Quickly, she moves to kneel at Master's side, the lid removed and offering the pot)
(00:16:43 )
\\\\Stargazer////
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: Today we create the scar of the Warder ... The one who has proven Himself worthy of standing to the back of His Brothers without question or pause. To look after those that might not be able to look after themselves at that moment, when its darkest they have a Friend and Champion.
(00:18:44 )
\\\\Stargazer////
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: *releasing Your hands and taking the pot from tieri* .... Well this is a first run at this paint pot .. not likely to be used again anytime soon .. this is one that is a lifetime in coming it seems *takes the pot and brush and marks Your face in the manner of Our ways* ...
(00:20:52 )
~tieri{CH}~R~
says to \\\\Stargazer////City Se: (Watches with a happy smile)
(00:21:29 )
\\\\Stargazer////
says to ~tieri{CH}~R~ ~senior tr: Returns the paint pot to you ..and smiles. thank you girl.
(00:22:13 )
~tieri{CH}~R~
says to \\\\Stargazer////City Se: (Nodding, she accepts the pot, seals it and returns it to the pack)
(00:22:51 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \\\\Stargazer////City Se: ~hears His Brother... nods to the Other...~ My thanks... summat stunned, but My thanks nonetheless.. I suspect there are more than just Me who walk this walk of the Warder... likely one small band of Brothers, but I am certainly not alone...
(00:23:36 )
\\\\Stargazer////
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: Well Someone has to be the tip of the spear.
(00:25:19 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to ALL: ~looks to Tuchuks, new, returned, and never gone...~
(00:27:15 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to ALL: I am both surprised and stunned... sometimes what we do matters.. sometimes it seems it does not... but it WILL be the Way we do it...I am pleased and proud that each of you chose this Home and managed to be here this night... and I am proud of each and every one of you for being Tuchuk to the very best of your ability... this... here... means nothing if it serves no one and if it helps none...
(00:29:08 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \\\\Stargazer////City Se: and KANE... hai... we do what we can... yesterday, today, and tomorrow... we do what we can...

(22:03:09 )
\\\\\\Qar Qarth//////

(22:03:58 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \\\\\\Qar Qarth//////Eld: ~sets the stormi one gently aside... stands... and centers...~
(22:04:59 )
\\\\\\Qar Qarth//////
: Scars ---I wear scars as all of you do ---all of those scars are earned ---some have more than others but ---none is more important than the first one ---The RED one ---no person can become a man in This camp without the RED
(22:06:13 )
\\\\\\Qar Qarth//////
: Others denote rank and status ---I have the red ---the Grey, the sky blue. Gold Black and purple but my scar that I am most proud of is the Blue
(22:06:32 )
\\\\\\Qar Qarth//////
: Few of us wear it ---but fewer wear the Green
(22:06:38 )
\\\\\\Qar Qarth//////

(22:07:38 )

KnightStorm~Warder~
: HAI
(22:10:46 )
~tieri{MMM}~R~
says to ALL: (Perks up at the mention of scarring)
(22:11:33 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to tieri: nods ..and walks to the Ubar .....looks towards tieri ...the pot lil one
(22:12:29 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: ~turns to face Him~
(22:12:36 )
~tieri{MMM}~R~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: (The slave darts from her kneel to the satchel that lies at the old grey bosk hide. she kneels and sorts through the pots for the correct color. she moves quickly to kneel at His side and offer it up)
(22:12:36 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: s i stop in front of the Ubar ..and nods in respect
(22:12:58 )
~stormi~{KS}~W~
: watching intently.... never turning her head or lowering her eyes. This is something that fascinates her.
(22:13:08 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: ~nods...~
(22:13:11 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: **Arranges furs and a solid roll made from a hide. Turning to the One to be scarred,** You are about to receive Your "Orange Warder Scar." Because it is painful and can cause further damage, it is best that You lie down. **Indicates the furs and the roll for the head. The roll is made for the correct height for scarring.**
(22:14:18 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to ALL: ~the massive chest rises and falls... rises and falls... steady rhythm to the heartbeat of Tuchuk... and the ***Scorpio eyes***... seem... hooded... somehow....~
(22:14:21 )
~stormi~{KS}~W~
: moves quietly to be a little closer to Master.... pride flowing but watching intently and with ..... a feeling of the need to protect Him
(22:14:33 )
~tieri{MMM}~R~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: (Remembers the applicator for it and crawls back to the satchel to get one. she quietly returns, holding the two items in readiness)
(22:14:43 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: ~says no more ... simply complies...~
(22:15:13 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: **Positions Myself next to Him and gestures for the girl to approach. While she prepares what is needed, I reach with My right hand to firmly grasp Your chin. Your head is turned, first to the left, then to the right, to see the work that was done before.**
(22:15:41 )
~tieri{MMM}~R~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: (Heels and settles nearby)
(22:15:48 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: ~knows how good that work was... for He yet breathes...~
(22:16:34 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: **Removing a quiva from its sheath with My left hand, I turn Your head slighty to the right, exposing Your left cheek. With focused intent etched on My face, the quiva cuts a line from the cheek a half inch from Your nose toward Your ear in one smooth movement. The pain is sharp, for the face contains many nerves.** The pain of each cut, the flow of blood, represents the deeds You have done to warrant such scarring.
(22:17:00 )
Salem
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: watches... thinkin I have a green dye that doesnt include poo.. but.. Men... they have their ways chuckles softly and simply watches
(22:18:50 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: ~the massive chest never falters or shakes... the breathing is steady, the ***Scorpio eyes*** still hooded and deep... the involuntary tearing of the eyes at such pain is simply a monument to the Courage that Tradition and Blood bring to the Tuchuk...~
(22:19:22 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: **Using a clean, folded rep cloth, the quiva's blade is wiped clean and ready for the next cut. Switching the blade to My right hand, I turn Your head to the left, exposing Your right cheek. As with the first, the quiva cuts a line from the cheek a half inch from Your nose toward Your ear in one smooth movement. Another reminder made with pain.**
(22:19:57 )
~tieri{MMM}~R~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: (Watches silently, as Master works His skill)
(22:20:13 )
~stormi~{KS}~W~
: eyes never leaving Master.. barely hearing the words...
(22:20:46 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: ~the only additional reaction to the second Cut is a ... ~~F L E X I N G~ of that fully expanded, powerful chest... an intake of additional energy that cannot be explained to the unScarred...~
(22:21:16 )
~vella~{HM}~R~
says to ALL: keeping within the shadows watching as the crimson washes across His flesh, pulse flutter wildly, fingers clenched into her fists, breasts rises and fall with each breath taken
(22:21:23 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: **Wiping the blade clean a second time, the quiva is sheathed. With blood flowing from the cuts, I turn Your head left, then right, to check that the cuts are even...and is satisfied.**
(22:22:19 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: **Looks to tieri for the applicator and pot of dung dye in the proper color**
(22:22:34 )
~tieri{MMM}~R~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: (Offers them up)
(22:22:43 )
Salem
says to ALL: watches him from a medical standpoint.. his breathing steady.. and strong, and I can see his pulse from here in his cartoid artery.. his nstrils flair with the pride in pain.... and his forehead beads with the sweat of adrenalin....
(22:22:51 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: ~MUCH experience tells the Tuchuk that these cuts were cuts performed by a Master Craftsman... all that remains is surviving, to walk even more handsome than before...~
(22:23:14 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: **Accepting it from the girl, the pot is held in one hand, while I use another side of the folded rep cloth to wipe away the blood in preparation for the next step. Scooping a measured amount of "green-dyed" dung scarring blend, it is packed into the quiva slice until even with the surface of the skin. A second measure is scooped up and applied to the second cut, packing as the first.** The fire of this scarring blend reminds You that You have been tested and found worthy.
(22:24:04 )
~tieri{MMM}~R~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: (Quickly rises to fetch the setting solution and brush along with a bowl. she pours the solution into the bowl and holds it ready)
(22:24:38 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: ~the heart inside the machine He is become for the moment swells with pride... for a Tuchuk's entire LIFE is a test to be found worthy... and to be found so one MORE time... drives Tuchuks to greater and greater heights...~
(22:25:08 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: **The scarring blend quickly begins to work, burning its way into the sensitive, cut flesh. It seems that fire consumes that area and tries to spread further afield. It swells the area to form a welt, the new chevron in that color. I watch as the swollen marks appear, gauging when the marks are as they should be.**
(22:26:30 ) \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~
: **Turns to tieri and holds out the pot and applicator for the brush and setting solution.**
(22:26:31 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: ~stays utterly committed to simply breathing... sweat blood and tears commingling with the serum from the Cuts...~
(22:26:51 )
~tieri{MMM}~R~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: (Accepts the pot and applicator and holds up the bowl and brush)
(22:27:38 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: **With a clean face of the folded rep cloth,the scarring blend is wiped from the new chevrons. Using the brush, it is dipped into setting solution and brushed onto and around each swollen area of flesh. The solution is left to dry and seal the scars from healing. The all-consuming burning lessens to the soreness of abused skin.** The permanent scar is a reminder that You must always live to the honor that has been given You.
(22:28:19 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: ~knows no other Way...~
(22:28:27 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: **Returns the brush and setting solution to the girl**
(22:28:44 )
~tieri{MMM}~R~
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: (Accepts them and holds them near)
(22:29:13 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to KnightStorm~Warder~: Rise, Scarred Warrior, and follow. **Walks to Qar Qarth**
(22:30:34 )

: Take Note all
(22:31:00 )
\\\\\\Qar Qarth//////

(22:31:21 )
\\\\\\Qar Qarth//////

The One who willingly looks after those who might not be able to look after themselves, those who discover at their darkest moment, that they have both Friend and Champion.
(22:31:50 )
\\\\\\Qar Qarth//////

(22:31:51 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /

(22:31:51 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~

~tieri{MMM}~R~
says to ALL: (Eyes shine with pride, for she is well aware that there have been Those that did not survive the scarring)
(22:33:00 )
\\\\\\Qar Qarth//////
says to \ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /: few have it --it is an honor to even apply the scar
(22:33:27 )
\ \ Hadassah Mijurai / /
says to \\\\\\Qar Qarth//////Eld: nods in respect
(22:33:35 Ž)
KnightStorm~Warder~
