"Does Edward get sea sick? -- Megan
"No Edward does not get sea sick, but he complains about it
a lot." -- Edward
"Whittling is a nice past time: keeps me quiet and gives
me an excuse to have a knife in my hand all the time." --
Edward
"Why am I not winning?" -- Breann
"That would be because you really suck at
poker." -- GM
"Do something to Edward." -- Breann, to GM
"Edward is currently bunking on the same ship with
chest-bursting, zombie creatures." -- Edward
"Well, at least he knows where the threat is coming
from." -- Breann
"Isn't it odd how she envies that?" -- GM
"I have to get Lora back to Amber, or I am as bad as her father." -- Breann
"I have been warned not to go back to the Tir. Something silly like... treason or something." -- Quinn
"They could always trump me if they needed me." --
Quinn
"What game are you playing in?" -- Breann
"What if one of my descendants hasn't walked the Pattern,
'come here and pull my horn'?" -- Quinn, about the Unicorn's
meeting with Megan
"Well it isn't as if he can use the 'pull my finger'
line." -- Ander
"You find yourself craving ice-cream and pickles."
-- Ander, to Megan, following her encounter with the Unicorn
"...and grass." -- Breann
"It's all about me, see?" -- Breann, pushing her personal world-view after a spell takes her and everyone near her to the Tir
"See, I've got this all figured out: Victor's been been playing me for a fool all along, or... he hasn't." -- Ander
"What's the matter?" -- Breann to Kethos
"Nothin', you and Lora just look a lot alike. It's really...
interesting." -- Kethos, sort of leering
"Boy, if we had a red-head cousin that looked like us, your
fantasy life would pretty much be complete." -- Breann,
under her breath.
"I'm just not an expert on anything: If its weird stuff, it's Quinn, if it's fight stuff, it's Brea." -- Ander
"I'm not screwed, I'm beyond screwed: Screwed is sitting across the room, waving at me and saying, 'Hi, glad I'm not you.'" -- Breann
"Ok, so your dreaming." -- GM
"Wait, how did I get in bed?" -- Breann
"It was the only way to calm down Kethos." -- Quinn
"Yeah yeah, maybe the bartender will give me the good whiskey tonight." -- Ander, downplaying his musical performance in a 30's-style speak-easy
"What next?" -- Breann, to Lora, in a dream
"We wake up, do breakfast, practice the lightning some
more... does Theseus have any place we can practice?" --
Lora
"I can kick Theseus’ ass. We can practice anywhere we
want." -- Breann
"That's... really disgusting." -- GM, referring to any number of possible topics
"I need some good stuff." -- Breann
"No, you just need to stop shooting arrows at people."
-- Megan
"She doesn't use arrows, she uses guns." -- GM
"What's the fun of shooting at someone who isn't better then
you?" -- Breann
"I rest my case." -- Megan
"Megan can use sex in any situation." -- Breann
"She's like a Dr. Evil girl-bot." -- GM
"I look around for Ireneon." -- Breann
"You remembered his name - I'm really impressed." -- GM
"So that's what you went and looked up." --
Megan
"I'm impressed, did you also learn my brother's
name?" -- Ireneon
"R.I.P.?" -- Breann
"I shall guard it with my life." -- Edward,
referring to Deirdre's trump
"Do." -- Deirdre
"I'm glad you all saved your good ideas for me." --
Breann, as the other player's suggest 'better' combat moves for
Ireneon to try on her
"I can probably beat him in a fist fight." -- Megan,
regerring to Matthan
"Unless he has a higher strength." -- Quinn
"There is that." -- GM
"And the GM's already lost one melee tonight." --
Edward
"Skip to the action, Edward naked does nothing for me." -- GM
"Bleys says he looked up your mothers
death record and it turns out she isn’t." -- GM
"Isn't what?" -- Edward
"Dead." -- GM
"Odd, I'll have to aim better next
time." -- Edward
"I guess I put some more clothes on."
-- Megan
"Which is to say 'some'." -- Breann
"What can they be up to, certainly
can’t be sacrifice the virgin." -- Breann
"Hey I can be a virgin everytime." --
Megan
"Be careful." -- Gerard
"Yeah tell me about it." -- Megan
"Some days it doesn’t pay to bite your way through the leather straps." -- Edward
"Your standing in front of the globe in
your pajamas." -- GM
"I have on pajamas?" -- Megan
"Yeah that’s how you know it’s a
dream." -- GM
"Enter Me." -- Pattern Bubble, to
Megan
"Isn’t that supposed to be the other way
around?" -- Megan
"You crash into a roof." -- GM
"A thatched roof, a poorly thatched one, over
a pillow factory." -- Edward
"I am all tingly." -- Megan, being Megan
"Quinn is on a kamikaze mission, Edward is combating, Megan is attuning a patter, and Breann is backup from a distance. This is a session that never should have happened." -- GM
"Whack that bad boy into shape." -- Megan, talking to GM about Edward
"This is the only time in your life where you wish it would shrivel up and fall off." -- Breann to Edward after the robot that Edward's riding explodes
"The man behind the attack is the Master
of Ceremonies" -- GM
"Yeah." -- Quinn
"No, not THAT Master..." -- GM
"Oh... you mean... the old one... the
previous Master... who faked his death, the Son of a BITCH."
-- Quinn, figuring out some things as he speaks.
"You are so not getting Aunt of the Year Award." -- Megan to Breann as Lora is hauled into the Tir infirmary
"Everyone who is important is alive."
-- Osric
"Of course, in Osric’s mind, that’s
Osric" -- Guest
"You have never shown the ability to heal your wounds, a desire sure, but never an ability." -- GM to Edward
"Pop up GM. He’s talking about a pbem game now your just supposed to know." -- Edward
"I wonder if you can make a roof out of hotdogs." -- Breann, talking about... I have no idea
"He has the wiggins." -- Megan
"That swat team wiggins." -- Edward
"I am looking seedier with every
step." -- Edward
"You really don’t have to go far for that." -- GM
"Edward doesn’t have a fight or flight syndrome, the only one he knows is flight." -- Breann, to GM, about Edward
"Like Quinn would get naked with Osric in the same house." -- Quinn, explaining one of the many reasons he's not going after Lushaira
"So she went to the Baron's place...
okay." -- Quinn
"No, NOT okay, BAD." -- Breann
"Denial in the face of overwhelming reality - Breann’s trademark." -- GM
"Thank you Mr. Tattletale." -- Breann, to Quinn
"Good stuff doesn’t protect you from the story line." -- GM
"To hell with Bleys, I want his sword." -- Edward, explaining why he's 'rescuing his father.'
"I will try the power word 'induce
fear'." -- Edward, trying to break a Trump connection
"What try every power word until you find one that
works?" -- Breann
"It works: she is very afraid she might hurt you." --
Quinn, explaining why Edward's power word 'might not work'.
"Trump theoretically would be broken if
one of you is unconscious." -- GM
"Well that was sort of my hope." -- Edward, as he does
a neural disrupt on himself.
"You come to after a bit…that was brilliant by the way." -- GM, referring to Edward's trump breaking trick.
"Of course Deirdre answers the trump: Misterrrr Tattletalllle has something to sayyyyyy." -- Breann lovingly referring to Quinn
"47 sessions no legs." -- Megan, talking about Gerard
"Megan manages to find the only headshop in Rebma, why am I not surprised?" -- Breann
"It gives me the wiggins." -- Miriel, about Edward’s trump
"I'll think about what I am going to play, maybe pass out, that would be nice." -- Ander, planning his day
"I hope they can stimulate my reality." -- Megan, referring to her 'white outs'
"I encourage comments from the peanut
gallery." -- GM, referring to non-active-player commentary
"They are not the peanut gallery they are the bitter almond
factory." -- Edward
"When I was here before I could spread my
consciousness out." -- Megan, standing in the Beatha Pattern
Room.
"No, it spread out for you: you were the peanut butter, it
was the knife." -- GM, referring to the Pattern
"The universe is a sandwich and your head
is a small lunchbox in which it barely fits.” -- Megan
"Actually, you have a lot of peanut butter and jelly oozes
out of the cracks." -- GM
"Did Edward dive down the garbage disposal
chute or laundry?" -- GM
"LAUNDRY." -- Edward, before anyone else can answer
"Heya Dagsey" -- Ander, to Inspector
Dagwood
"Dagsey?" -- GM
"I figure after that strip search, we're close." --
Ander
"Well I guess I have to kill everyone." -- Breann, trying to come up with a plan
"But... she’s a broad..." -- Ander, loosing consciousness after Breann pistol-whips him
[Breann wakes trump to Amber, but without
Lora or Ander.]
"Are you bummed out?" -- Ander/Scott, to Breann/Jackie
"Well yes but why do you think I am?" -- Breann/Jackie
"Cause you lost both of us this time." -- Ander/Scott
