Ecclesiastical M&M's

[sraun]

For the party yesterday I got a special assortment of M&M's

I just couldn't resist getting these for the release party for The Hallowed Hunt.

So my memory is going with "old" age. Colours look to me like blue, green, red, white and grey. Is that right?

[sraun]

Orange in place of red, but other than that, yes.

Recognize the color set?

Oh, oh, oh. It took me a while - I'd been wondering why you were calling them "ecclesiastical" - but I finally paid attention to the context - and your current icon...

I'm pretty sure orange is used as an official substitute, for some reason. Perhaps one of the descriptions of Bergon?

I didn't go searching for textev - I used the glossary at the end of the e-book version of Curse and Paladin. According to that, acolytes of the Son wear red-orange.

Got that immediately from the subject. Just can't necessarily match them up. Time to reread some books!

[sraun]

Dratsab = White
Father = Grey & Black
Mother = Green
Daughter = Blue
Son = Red-orange

For some reason, I want the Dratsab to be grey and the Father to be white. I'm not certain why.

We just got home (took the scenic route down the Mississippi) and I wanted to thank you again for hosting the post-signing, post-dinner dessert-and-chat.

I'll try to get those pictures I took up tonight. Shall I post a link here when I do?

[sraun]

Please!

Attaching them to the post about the actual event. I was reading newest-backward and hadn't seen that one yet. :)

I was wondering what you meant by ecclesiastical in your earlier report!!

Very clever!! Did you have to tell everyone or did they figure it out?

[sraun]

You could have asked!

The only person I know needed a hint was Lois. I gave her a ziplock bag with five of each color at Dreamhaven. It did not register with her immediately what they were, and she did seem a touch embarassed that she hadn't recognized them immediately. :-)

You could have asked!

Yeah, I should've, but perhaps I got confused by seeing your report in three places. Which one to reply to? ;-)

The only person I know needed a hint was Lois.

Hee hee. She probably had a bit too much on her mind at the time. :-)

I bet she thought they were cool when you told her though!

[sraun]

Yes, she did!

Assorted people asked where I got them - the answer was "Mall of America". There's a shop that has 20-30 different colors of M&M's, you buy them by the individual color. You can get all sorts of strange stuff there!

One can find that kind of thing at various places. Locally, we have a great candy store on Universal CityWalk that carries the M's in bulk by color. There's a M&M store in Las Vegas too if my memory serves me aright.
