"I’ll ask Vaughn to explain." -- Ander
"ixnay on the Vaughnay, ixnay on the vaughnay." -- Theseus
"I pull out my brand spanking new sword, and I do mean Brand-spanking." -- Lysander
"Don’t make me punch you through this trump, Mister." -- Gerard to Lysander
"Do we want to go after Brand?" -- Quinn
"Screw it: I'm a prince, I can answer the door in a towel." -- Lysander, answering the door at his new sea-side home, a few days after the wedding.
"Oberon’s next room has a bed in it." -- GM
"Dare I say a King-Sized Bed?" -- Lysander
"Groan." -- The Group at Large
"I don’t know why people still hang out around me." -- Theseus, after he accidently detonates a booby-trap in Oberon's chambers that blows Quinn off the balcony outside.
"What did you do?" -- Gerard, trumping Lysander right after the explosion
"Dad, I'm out on the coast, 10 miles away... I didn't have anything to do with it." -- Lysander
"Hmmph. Maybe." -- Gerard
"Do I tell the truth or make her feel better?" -- Breann, talking with Lora about 'what the Family is like'
"At this point I wouldn’t listen to my advice." -- Theseus
"When Ander finds out you took his son, there won't be a hole deep enough to hide in." -- Breann
"Good point." -- Anax
"Forget Ander: you have to know right now that I'm never going to stop... I'm young, and I live a very, VERY long time. I simply WILL track you down, because I won't ever stop. I'm going to kill you, your friends, your acquaintenances, and your buisiness partners, then I'll figure out a way to bring you back and kill you again. If you hurt one HAIR on the boy's head, I'm going to take out your tongue with a bone saw, and take off your fingers with pinking shears." -- Breann, to Anax, via trump
"He seems concerned." -- GM
I have never wanted to be a brush so much in my life." -- Theseus, watching Fiona straighten out the tangles in her hair, following the explosion.
"I don’t know whether to take your hand and smile or strap you to the anchor and throw it overboard. " -- Ander, to Katherine
"I hope you open another trapped box and die." -- Breann to Theseus
"Thanks, Brea: I was wondering what to do with him the rest of the session." -- GM
"Why is that woman still alive?" -- Breann, to Ander, regarding Katherine
"We still have a lot of things to get from her." -- Ander
"Then why doesn’t she have a sword to her throat?" -- Breann
"Daelyn's dad died before you and she got there." -- GM to Lysander
"Guess we know who just became king." -- Breann
"OH FUCK ME." -- Lysander
"Technically, Lysander's not King, he's a Prince-husband to the Queen." -- GM
"You're basically Daelyn's bitch." -- Breann
"Oh crap, I have to stay here. Wait... YES!!! I have to stay here!" -- Lysander
"C'mon, Pattern-Boy, imPRESS me." -- Kethos, exhorting Quinn to keep hold of a dog-leesh (Kethos was currently managing two of them.)
"Oh god, he must be desperate: he just asked Quinn for physical help." -- Breann, after Kethos tells Quinn to help him get the new 'shifter-sniffer' dogs into the kennel
"Even if he throws his body on the ground, it won’t help much." -- Lysander
"I have heard good things about you." -- Llewella to Theseus
"No need to lie." -- Theseus
"I am not as stupid as I look... and everyone thinks I am." -- Lysander
"...or the best standardized testing indicates." -- GM
Scribe was Absent
"So how exactly do you detect shapeshifters? Do they have a big S on the front and another S on their back?" -- Quinn
"Have you ever been here before?" -- Breann, to Kethos, as the Pattern teleports them to a completely unknown location
"Oh, sure: the dead chick in the chair is named 'Sarah', and they have an excellent book collection here... of COURSE I've never been here." -- Kethos
"Can I give the pattern vague instructions?" -- Ander
"Like what?" -- GM
"Well like take me to the greatest enemy of Amber." -- Ander
*GROAN* -- group at large
"I didn’t say I was GOING to do that." -- Ander
"Quinn won’t be the first person to test out giving vague instructions." -- Quinn
"You don’t want to be the pattern’s bitch?" -- Breann
"Don’t do what Quinn does, he’s boring." -- Breann
"Where’s Julian?" -- Gm to himself
"Kicking a dog somewhere." -- Breann
"You have the wrong idea about him, he is drop-kicking a dog somewhere." -- Quinn
"They will be singing your praises for ages, two wanton wenches and a mystical horse." -- GM
"They won’t be singing that very loudly." -- Breann
"Bleys is gonna beat you bloody, you know this..." -- GM
"Yeah, but when he realizes I am doing it all for his own good..." -- Breann
"He's STILL going to be pissed." -- Quinn
"Avoid the wine-cellar and you should be safe." -- Quinn's advice to Breann on dealing with Bleys
"So this is what an epiphaney feels like." -- GM
"Trumping to your mother would be better than what your mixed up in now." -- Quinn to the acid-tripping Breann "What universe are you living in?!?" -- Breann the Parentally-Challenged
"Mud loooooooves Leprechauns." -- Quinn
