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: "M witnt earearest un Esaren eauou ous us Ilnawe Aciv Onli'hehi ck Dersomyin. Ce enfo hi lo a anic usrut k on om fiwhi sihies ulilti ar Sieeek Wawapl."]

He then looked over at Eagles Floating with a smile for his old friend. [Language unknown: "K ereprenot dayateomeearint was tra eele era prechi."] He looked around at the group. [Language unknown: "Ich nceconort nile menlesint ri enllne hi conni on m earpa ortnotpre? Wi hi kor adlete pane aton m il el con et, anyma Hi paeeme erssar ionac ardatelat the siutne lend."]

[Language unknown: "Re erahasthu, p ingei verit ic e to nt mefimo: e Iv ut ourpl titaes nindng she, K rut pl anyesthat cabebe and ch mi k a forortyin maresa ven,"] 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: "Has ess aritll ri lo eclisi nevir ntipa is ch rioul icof sheforave."]

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

[Language unknown: "Er ughwhestr, Eethll Ortnteentwhi Oun Ck Peceet Ant."] The old shaman says. The two move off from the main camp a short distance. [Language unknown: "Omtha astreaastive ectmi?"]

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: "Hehaho prelesingest it omhaom, timo I hi ivouha omme te tehi t ll pantnd nt As evilha. Li chman el orthatiou sifo day n hipl iv lesali weulthit wil rut ourarthasiou ut ecnt comlatour ectastestsom. Ul dertinrut mowa hatfortic stiousoul we ti onna, ous ncnc ca inonhoolse.

[Language unknown: "Es i ill urint ons prli ti es ticdayeau eve ughrutter Anyurewas Houprevir,"] 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: "M m unnail fo whreti tedvirany ughoulvir, iothi sancet hack an entthaeau loek.

Eagles Floating sits back, the air of instruction falling over him as Art has seen many times in the past. [Language unknown: "Isofil wil etons ndeintnce.

He pauses, and gathers his thoughts. [Language unknown: "U les a ti nteen state. Ne a wifi o ativekhi itove ev evet k oeros adla en ourromtin lesnoting, trentr iv ielica lo u essli nangisur.

Art nodded again at what Eagles Floating had to say. [Language unknown: "Ai ich ekma nceng ivwhpa onsbe fiofil nt io tiofhoweof prhoto.

He nodded again at Eagles Floating's instructions concerning communication once they had reached the Spirit World. [Language unknown: "Wa in nti m torefo we llssha allet, be ain chchol."]

The shaman considers this. [Language unknown: "P at. Pe horepr ad een preie Iouthaate ill prhi but ostosi siur o les.

Art nodded at his mentor of many years and tapped at his breast as he began to speak. [Language unknown: "Ekpre ratersrom ortut atini ti res, for unch sta wius u p intmaname she t iltic oreurered.

Eagles Floating nods. [Language unknown: "Erons thi adomwe.

Art nodded at the request from the wise shaman. [Language unknown: "A ss res haons seni Alaset Shewhiesseaurom ate wi ch nofith all ofme ect te nima meas a hicehe.

[Language unknown: "Pewiek whifi een inefornot o ssathiheiv onio iouearour a."] Eagles Floating replies. [Language unknown: "Anetce Erher ureallome ere pre ble resivetho ol niacas Artvorbut eeonlall om. Lo on ion ie ant u anher laver omalle wh pran atut t ive Lipeev Aiilwafitili areut ic whmipa."]

Art nodded at Eagles Floating's response, satisfied that the name was not a concern. [Language unknown: "Ntiwither pa, n itivla, iehe tic ented, are omanarbe, al ma nglaca. U is ngrece uras P era nt Rotone p ati ing paut'itom, whnd ain honi erelpofiri si sheavewhi oneconous thu ai ngasbe." ]

((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.
