Rabbit studies the marks left by fingertips in the soil, frowning slightly, then rubs an arm and simply listens, trying to ignore the pull of sleepiness. No, I am worthy, but this vision was not intended for me: I am meant to do something else.

"Moses would be glad if you were to join him."
Moses nods at Art.

Art nodded at Wovoka's response. [Language unknown: "P premo venromsom utpe Hatderson mone ceers ver Omaiom Art Ninamotr men Viranther. U iouio tra er e ame reut pe est ng it tinectsti oulterain str Ecelhi Verhatver."]

He then looked over at Eagles Floating with a smile for his old friend. [Language unknown: "Us redsetant eautha'larundfor eier outst fo ati wilweroer."] He looked around at the group. [Language unknown: "Ven onserasan pl atiaverut tivir inehisate osol whe th o hoha thlape? A m resun ersaveate trse has te e t witch no, cedi U follsa manwaslar nder esunca all samoil ou."]

[Language unknown: "Ughon fopass, ho linli ne u u re al ticverred: pl O nd evil omenet ameiouers no, Fo wa p ilouse ngnare outom ta hat nt we romartave reantitra usng,"] Rabbit observes, since those of the Lakota faction of the Dance around don't seem keen, either.

The shamans nod, and preparations are made.

((OOC: Alrighty. So are you guys acquiring horses for the journey?))

Art nodded at Rabbit's response, and none other seemed forthcoming. Once it appeared that no others wished to join, Art walked over and crouched down by Eagles Floating on Gentle Breezes.  [Language unknown: "Ardic ic iceele noac n ughersive heons ut ho ri nehat wh aveintlar."]

OOC: Yes, I think horses would be a good idea.

[Language unknown: "Pe oultinour, Artrpl Ountioardpro Era Pre Latrutiou Venme."] The old shaman says. The two move off from the main camp a short distance. [Language unknown: "Oul larughareore herio?"]

Art looked around to be certain nobody was around, and then used his newfound hearing acuity to be further certain they were out of earshot. Once as certain as he could be that they were alone, Art turned his attention to his old friend. [Language unknown: "Ngalst reetench e setwasnce, onet Ng seng wesswi iefor nd nabut i tihe antterera thi Wi ortlesund.

[Language unknown: "I se ribe and un our il us derereven on houanyive Rutestous Witaie,"] Eagles Floating says, "But I understand your reasons. I thank you for telling me this, but you should let Wovoka, at least, know this as well. You can put your faith in him."

Art nodded at what Eagles Floating had to say, and he responded again in hushed tones. [Language unknown: "E i onetralar on ratratfor artbleven ersverbut, ulsi tediiv hoant ol encoulome ceng.

Eagles Floating sits back, the air of instruction falling over him as Art has seen many times in the past. [Language unknown: "Atiterave ith un staonsday.

He pauses, and gathers his thoughts. [Language unknown: "N san u ut com oun. Ati io utac ee wilwhehisher isure arter niad e tha foos u ingticeve thcewh, ckmeil set bleallrea proie o lo mofi-cano.

He nodded again at Eagles Floating's instructions concerning communication once they had reached the Spirit World. [Language unknown: "A secon omeat ce lewemo u viroveith ion, e niri olalck."]

The shaman considers this. [Language unknown: "N astng. P erofou nala ome wiha Neesur vir ndom ol eenstaven evble m oste.

Art nodded at his mentor of many years and tapped at his breast as he began to speak. [Language unknown: "Ted ersbutles ughre out wi uring, tho cehe somse washi ee a nottheant ivrea o ioess sserfo.

Eagles Floating nods. [Language unknown: "Us ntoer paenai.

Art nodded at the request from the wise shaman. [Language unknown: "P ntic encbe ad ted Undtioven Eveoultedardnde ev osun m ithsomome san liun he ofect sano la e oltaee.

[Language unknown: "Osthiv stom pllo utckat p maar-ncpait ect oerbleday e."] Eagles Floating replies. [Language unknown: "Ameherort Allo wiacth evave si tiosa lltaat prom iondri Artian cefoolul a. On e ates n are mo ou wil anlino t lick tha k illad Dayichvor Ortstiandven-menear whca ro ofchre."]

((OOC: Shall we skip to the next day, then? Just let me know all the preparations you and Moses are making, and I'll open up a Chapter 5 thread for you guys.))

((OOC: Moses will meditate and speak to the Lord, seek counsel and guidance. He'll also speak to his flock and make sure they understand that they are seeking the Woman Who Remembers The Future to show the Ravenite that he's on the wrong path.
He'll also say good bye for now to Screaming Rabbit, probably saying or doing something that makes her slightly uncomfortable - like gently touching her shoulder or something. :-) ))

[[Rabbit'll duck back and turn it into a formal forearm-clasp if she sees it coming - Mose might even get a very, very nervous hug if there's no-one else about, though she'll tell him to stop if the response is 'squash Rabbit!'/he holds too long.]]

OOC: Skipping ahead is fine with me. Art will speak quietly with Wovoka about the bits of information Art withheld when he originally told his story and his reasons for doing so. Art will also try to gather what supplies can be spared, and horses if possible. He will look for appropriate, hooded attire. He will say his farewells to any of the Cheyenne that have survived. And provide his thanks to his Lakota teachers, Horn Chips and Laughing Calf, as well as to Wovoka and Eagles Floating. Art will wish Rabbit well on whatever journey the spirits have called for him to undertake. He will listen to whatever guidance the other Ghost Dancers wish to share, and listen for anything that the spirits might have to say.

This thread is now closed. Art and Moses, resume posting on the Chapter 5.2: An Occurrence At Deadwood Gulch thread. Rabbit, when you and John Truman are done with your bit, I'll make a Chapter 5.3 thread.

I can't see the 5.2 thread. Is it in a group to which I don't have access?

Nope, I'm still writing it.
