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: "Ur ine lessantin ouhi Thaithlin ing ich ofch Omathi Are Omadnosa itho Derkorhou. Ll ic ekour m ar ngat enpl an il ti der ovenotort reavorund we Thebutted Hiswernte."]

He then looked over at Eagles Floating with a smile for his old friend. [Language unknown: "Il wiivfo acerun'ecmi saol ard tiss te hondth."] He looked around at the group. [Language unknown: "Ilfo artaal lent astail whame thiareles prli osard nc ic een uslele? M di thu romantles as beven u nd an acet ratro, yin U whiineers iveeenthi dinmi whniho pali ceivfo nceti."]

[Language unknown: "Ous onsicatho, pl plno nail e os ta k ekurhi: os Es o rea mineil minoei latno, Ch ant st ecckad plmese fowhe n itles i pr urtrri illresith ntei,"] 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: "Nost com tedomeeau ck n omneno pe olwi asort n een ivse comouteve."]

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

[Language unknown: "A unntle, Thewerrut Urunndos Liter Acil Butandrut St."] The old shaman says. The two move off from the main camp a short distance. [Language unknown: "Tic thunteameove theus?"]

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: "Hisvenlar sonithoneiou ut ilmiti, le T ichri wietel ithie et aclat n na prtiun nd E esunee.

[Language unknown: "Ar p aier oneis era ceic k ckal undortdin osek settralar Forint Ndckle,"] 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: "P ss bleameate n ndiose ateingwer ertrad, day ingentear erni mier ndereaher wiet.

Eagles Floating sits back, the air of instruction falling over him as Art has seen many times in the past. [Language unknown: "Undhatnot esou oul icaichoer.

He pauses, and gathers his thoughts. [Language unknown: "Th kor of ch wer ee. Hean o althu li sondinatehou nti isom no n ad icani ee tedsomest setstiess, tawace ainev ilitil str en anhi nthapain.

Art nodded again at what Eagles Floating had to say. [Language unknown: "Ckth iveen llne nass atisheeen und seinpa k ll allviricaoreore osesur.

He nodded again at Eagles Floating's instructions concerning communication once they had reached the Spirit World. [Language unknown: "P ect enc k misaer of inutno ionet, u le anyicaher."]

The shaman considers this. [Language unknown: "Si ut. Ac iluren lota ica beder Ekllit ektha utet adai heetec hinti on nteck.

Art nodded at his mentor of many years and tapped at his breast as he began to speak. [Language unknown: "Arect ngtrev tin nemi naof ou, yin nte ame evver o k himend outwh di alect terverour.

Eagles Floating nods. [Language unknown: "Day tha veravelin.

Art nodded at the request from the wise shaman. [Language unknown: "N stfo loil to art Traughati Stisonforiouhis ceres vor i rutstrson lin hoof et tafor ic ee il illlno.

[Language unknown: "Enmiev ck ustha icalinres u acmo'ckfoss ica ekdiie wa."] Eagles Floating replies. [Language unknown: "Onrepa Thule adurti niee saro it hiutar any mennotfor Outeauoul hashatreaich ad. O e ous nc mo ho fi acil evetad io tio trha i esce Stiundent Tioumiasesng ous to oleslo."]

Art nodded at Eagles Floating's response, satisfied that the name was not a concern. [Language unknown: "Ulisre of, k romsheast, rednt thi is, beted betochne, vir oun aveineest.

((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.
