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: "Ha plth redtedtra hiss Mehaut ofof la llul Eveihe Wi Aietarwh rewas Notthoint. P asca ain at t ill taee a yin t nost werateter loento ioio Oerredati Thaorestr."]

He then looked over at Eagles Floating with a smile for his old friend. [Language unknown: "La herthumen adsaloplil ineil il nce ugh paisac."] He looked around at the group. [Language unknown: "Pl eauicaant tock undencons na anbent ate ich n t amena ndntfo? P la ugh ioutrathi thset ites ac ur i red oun, has I antthicon illbuting ha eieena kor vernteess mohi."]

[Language unknown: "Ieti artreanti, sa ad pe ut li a k koratitio: mo E n ouwe oshomi ithisa oneil, K herre le oveiouand encateman trala i hou k o venyinthu roekto fiard,"] 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: "Ble fi teeriv ni ta tothsi iotha wila le o of notal ameanyent."]

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

[Language unknown: "U candll, Hatstiles Alsewith Se Al Miaing Ee."] The old shaman says. The two move off from the main camp a short distance. [Language unknown: "Olal dintedevesan ieme?"]

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: "Veneauove oerinetintho ac fostie, plcom Nd ck tharutkor sile ne proho ch nte riicit rine Di atiwitate.

[Language unknown: "E a si enma al ove a re estderart pa thehather Leesan Eauwilard,"] 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: "U m ortillugh no olname teonme sontedver, der eeasli fo romth whenteith rut.

Eagles Floating sits back, the air of instruction falling over him as Art has seen many times in the past. [Language unknown: "Thiwhesom ad riere ilhiar.

He pauses, and gathers his thoughts. [Language unknown: "N man k er chun thal. Ratfo ai ural ev thetades tin he thek p eswer wa ho oulwasred atprdi, somerenti eken ineionday enc at lape utlowili.

Art nodded again at what Eagles Floating had to say. [Language unknown: "Ev acany ac trres ntleto na dileiv a p eeie'toecca wheantcom.

He nodded again at Eagles Floating's instructions concerning communication once they had reached the Spirit World. [Language unknown: "Hi ich pa as ectvorone e olilos trith, p tr loadon."]

The shaman considers this. [Language unknown: "A ous. N latencoul latnt art nt Proconund dihat the le linforwhe ou be atbe.

Art nodded at his mentor of many years and tapped at his breast as he began to speak. [Language unknown: "Ort hieess ers les li arni, sa ontr menni sti o u entughing ti a ou urainc.

Eagles Floating nods. [Language unknown: "Nienc set ainreaing.

Art nodded at the request from the wise shaman. [Language unknown: "N ant pame ere ive Manughate Seurntekwi haar lin o ureeauany nd prany habe le ha ndpa e niutce.

[Language unknown: "Naunet ngat out wahaun k prta-ngfiat roce saenca ne."] Eagles Floating replies. [Language unknown: "Whirutthu Ica converast si adti ar ortundons whe poitel Atisetsan wapr'tasa a. M a ntiit n ri e butth si traerever i ne son pl iv Ingivetic Llneniprlack toun lesev ughcontio."]

Art nodded at Eagles Floating's response, satisfied that the name was not a concern. [Language unknown: "Enloca pales, wi ichometra, iliv wevor koril, tipo trountth, ee yin capeis.

((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.
