Quotes 8301 to 8400

Quote 8301

<AlcarGM> Luna: "Well, at least there's some good news." She flops down on the couch. "I hate this!"
* Mary_jane`^ sighs and sits beside her
<Mary_jane`^> "It also says you'll start to get self destructive tendancies."
<Mary_jane`^> "Like tryng to crawl into an oven that bakes kids regularly."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "I already have those. I'm useless!"
<Mary_jane`^> "Not entirely..."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "I don't have any power. None. Nada. Zilch. Zip. The moon feels even further away ... augh!"
<Mary_jane`^> "You still have those secrets..."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "I keep forgetting them, too. Sometimes I still see them, around people. But they're useless things."
<Mary_jane`^> "Well... I suppose we could give you a gun and you could go around shooting things, but I don't think that would be good if you were suicidal."
<AlcarGM> lol

Quote 8302

<AlcarGM> Luna is apparently making breakfast. Or, more accurately, watching bacon burn in the pan intensely.
<Mary_jane`^> "Err... What are you doing?"
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Divination. Getting a whole pig is hard, so I settled for bacon. I'm watching the world burn."
* Mary_jane`^ grabs a plate and takes some of the bacon out of the pan
<Mary_jane`^> "That's nice."
<AlcarGM> Luna: "Oh,sure, go and ruin it. You're eating Asia, you know."
<Mary_jane`^> "Tastes pretty good too. I like eating chinese food."

Quote 8303

<AlcarGM> You have your drink, esperiencing hte Starbucks Experience of overpriced lukewarm beverages with food colouring. And evil, of course, which seeps its way into your body to scribble a small piece of darkness on the ledgers of your soul.
<AlcarGM> Or something like that, at any rate.
* Mary_jane`^ wonders if cream will counteract the effect
<AlcarGM> Probably only if it came from a free-range cow.
<Mary_jane`^> i hate free-range cows
<Mary_jane`^> i hate cows
<Mary_jane`^> that's why I eat them

Quote 8304

<AlcarGM> Tyler answers after the second knock. "You're finally ... oh! Hi."
<Mary_jane`^> "Hi... Who did you think i was?"
<AlcarGM> Tyler: "I was hoping Kiesha."
<Mary_jane`^> "Errr... Why?"
<AlcarGM> Tyler: "Uhm, because she's better at things like . .changing clothing."
<Baliadoc> ((I didn't know I was in this game...)
<Mary_jane`^> "Can I come in?"
<AlcarGM> Tyler nods, ignoring Baliadoc since Baliadoc was never an angel named Jacob and nods. "Sorry I mean, I like having someone to stay and all ... " he shrugs.
* Mary_jane`^ steps in "is Gabe in?"
<Baliadoc> ((Sorry. Always weird seeing my name in games. ;))

Quote 8305

<alcar> Mind you, since the Boundary Land plot was pretty much based around Cyrus, it won't really involve MJ except in the Real World.
<alcar> unless you want MJ dragged into it ;)
<Chaos`^> oh hell no
<Chaos`^> she has enough trouble as it is
<Baliadoc> lol
<alcar> lol. Okay ,then :)

Quote 8306

<Mary_jane`^> "Is Kiesha home?"
<AlcarGM> She blinks, then nods. "She said she felt sick. You are...?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Mary Jane."
<AlcarGM> A blank look, then: "Oh! Kiesha has mentioned you before, I think. When she's home. Which is rarely. I admire her looking after some poor boy, but really .. . Oh!. My manners. Would you like to come in?" She steps back. "I think it's the teenagers flu, myself, but she does well enough in school that I don't make too much of an issue or a day or two missed."
<Mary_jane`^> "Err.. Teenager's flu?"
<AlcarGM> She nods. "Sulking."

Quote 8307

<AlcarGM> She nods. The interior is reasonably clean, and there's a few Amway borchures that happen to be lying around. Your gaze is drawn to thme and you feel an urge ot pick one up, though it's only a minor geas, and easily ignored.
* Mary_jane`^ picks one up and looks at the publisher
<AlcarGM> "Her bedroom is the second one on the right," nodding to a hallway.
<AlcarGM> Amway Inc.
<AlcarGM> (( Not a division of hereticorp. Really. ))
* Mary_jane`^ sets it down and walks down the hallway
<AlcarGM> (( It's interesting that I could recall she sells amway, but not her name :p ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( LOL!! Me either ))
<AlcarGM> (( could look it up in the character notes. I thinkit was Amy... ))
<Mary_jane`^> you know what's sad? i mean, really really really sad?
<Mary_jane`^> I almost, seriously, told you to ask kiesha
<AlcarGM> lol!

Quote 8308

<AlcarGM> Her room is .. well ... a mess. The floor is surprisingly clean, but the one dresser and bed have stuff (mostly clothes) piled all over them, and the room has a smell that's more animal than human. And a definitete reek of someone having marked their terroitory in it some time past.
<AlcarGM> Kiesha: "Gabe put it up. People can't hear inside here from outside easily. Keeps Michael from listening in on stuff."
<Mary_jane`^> "Is that urine?"
<AlcarGM> Kiesha: "Uhm...." her ears turn bright pink and she mummbers somehting about instinctsd and territory

<Mary_jane`^> "This isn't a dream. Can you think coherantly in a dream? or feel this?" Pinching her
<AlcarGM> Sal nods, and leaves fr his room.
* Mary_jane`^ grabs her
<AlcarGM> How do you pinch someone six inches tall? :p
<Mary_jane`^> you... just... uhm... well thaat WOULD hurt
<AlcarGM> You grab your mom. She glows, for a moment. It's sparkly, and has a pretty "ping!" noise.
* Mary_jane`^ just grabs her

Quote 8311

<Mary_jane`^> She BIT me! She actually BIT me!
<AlcarGM> Denial :p
<AlcarGM> law one in action :)
<AlcarGM> But hey, at least your mom has no communicable diseases
<AlcarGM> ... you hope.

Quote 8312

<Mary_jane`^> "I never had dolls. And what little I had that resembled them are long gone."
<Mary_jane`^> "There, wrap yourself in a uhm... Towel."
<AlcarGM> (( Some of Sara's might still be around :p ))
* Mary_jane`^ hands her mom the towel.. err cloth
<Mary_jane`^> (( OH HELL NO! ))
<AlcarGM> Okay., Your mom dresses herself on the TV stand, or something.
<AlcarGM> (( But your mom might get lonely! ))

Quote 8313

* alcar can't wait to hear MJ tell her mom where she was last night
<alcar> Anne: "And. .after that you went to hell. Don't you have classes?!"

Quote 8314

<Chaos`^> OMG I just thought of something MJ has to try!
<alcar> though probably should be
<alcar> oh?
<Chaos`^> I can't tell you

<Chaos`^> ;)
<alcar> lol
<alcar> Then you can't do it! HAH!
<Chaos`^> lol
<Chaos`^> you don't HAVE any plots, anymor

Quote 8315

<alcar> and .... she's quoting from Hubris. This is worrisome.
<Alicia> ?
<alcar> Oh, a quote to the effect that people demand more of heroes than they have any right to ask.
<alcar> was the tagline for game.
<alcar> Come to think of it, the heroes nuked a city so it wasn't the best tag line.

Quote 8316

<AlcarGM> Loki: "What do you want?"
<AlcarGM> The interior is strange now, looking as if someone crossed futurisic metal decor with norse huts. It's hideously ugly; you suspect Luna would like it.
<Mary_jane`^> "You showed me how to ward myself hiding my power, four years ago. I was hoping you could show me how to keep things from invading my self."
<AlcarGM> Loki: "Such as?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Everything. It seems I have unexpected visitors every other day."
<AlcarGM> Loki: "If they're Jehovah's Witnesses, I'm not sue how to stop them. Believe me, I've tried."

Quote 8317

<AlcarGM> You: "Why did you do that? Are you the justice one, the one who kils the rest of us as mad? I'm mad. We're all mad here. Join the club. Pull up a chair, and hang yourself," bitterly.
<Mary_jane`^> "Get over yourself. Where's Excalibur?"
<AlcarGM> You look up at you. "I don't know. I'd find it, because it could really kill me. But it's not down here. We've looked."
<Mary_jane`^> "Then it has to be farther down."
<Mary_jane`^> "Where are the stairs?"
<AlcarGM> "There are no stairs. It's madness all the way down, intom the dark. Where a switchblade comes out. And you start bleeding and you never quite stop, because everyone wants to die." You smile, serenely. "Why else are we born?"

Quote 8318

<AlcarGM> "I am the way into a city of woe, I am the way to a forsaken people, I am the way into eternal sorrow," the door booms out in a thunderous roar.
<Mary_jane`^> "Yes yes, get on with it. We want to go through you."
<AlcarGM> Door: "Sacred justice moved my .. Oh, shit. It's you. Uh. .. Abandon hope? Please? Go away?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Wait, I know you!"
<Mary_jane`^> "You were in Hell! How did you get here?"
<AlcarGM> Door: "Still there. I AM a door to hell, you know."
<AlcarGM> Loki just shakes his head
<Mary_jane`^> "Why are you HERE though?"
<AlcarGM> Door: "Everything has to be somewhere. And everything is everywhere."

Quote 8319

<Mary_jane`^> "How do you feel about dragons?" Whiping her hands and looking at the sundial
<AlcarGM> Words appear on it, in Hellfire. "I SERVE
<Mary_jane`^> You serve...?
<AlcarGM> ."
<AlcarGM> p
<Mary_jane`^> lol
<AlcarGM> it adds. Except for the :p

Quote 8320

<Mary_jane`^> "You weren't dead. You were stolen."
<AlcarGM> Tad: "It felt like being dead," softly. "I was scared you'd never come." He tries to put his head under a wing, and can't manage it. "I'm scared a lot."
<Mary_jane`^> "Courage is never easy."
<AlcarGM> Tad: "You're never afraid."
<Mary_jane`^> "I'm also insane."
<AlcarGM> Tad: "I think I might be," nervously.
<Mary_jane`^> "I know what will happen to me when I die, and I've accepted it."
<AlcarGM> Tad: "I did a stupid thing no sane magic would have done." Silence, then . .puzzled.. "When you die when you die..."
<Mary_jane`^> "You did a thing no dependant magic would have done. You were seperated from me well before you became a dragon."
<AlcarGM> Tad: ".... but I could have HURT you. And... and me......." he's healed enough to get his head under a wing now, and his voice is muffled as your magic says "I had unprotected sex."
* Mary_jane`^ snorts
<AlcarGM> Tad: "It's NOT funny!"
<Mary_jane`^> "You're not joking!?"
<AlcarGM> Tad's head comes up, and he stares at ypou in shock. "Why would I joke about THAT?!"
<Mary_jane`^> "With WHO?"
<AlcarGM> Tad: "..... Fred. It's what ..made me a dragon," in a small voice, refusing to meet your gaze
* Mary_jane`^ snorts... then laughs... and laughs some more, then gets louder and grabs her side, laughing

Quote 8321

<Mary_jane`^> "You changed because I changed you."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "You presume too much," and he almost grazes you, again. The spped that comes into you isn't yours and your leap away from him, for a moment, feels almost like flying as you land on the other side of the room.
<Mary_jane`^> "Arthur is dead, Phil is dead and the children are dead. You cannot atone for killing by killing."
<AlcarGM> Edward: "I've died and I'm watching my daughter in the matrix," numbly.
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "I attone for nothing. It saves time."
<Mary_jane`^> "Dad, this isn't the matrix and you're alive.

Quote 8322

<LiMing> at a locked store in a medieval town...
<LiMing> * Dave sighs
<LiMing> * Dave picks up a rock and throws it at a window of the store.
<LiMing> <Fennec> You're looting the town now? What is this, New Orleans? Anyway. The rock goes 'thud' against the shutters.
<alcar> lol!
<alcar> But Dave is likely white. It's not looting if you're white. It's finding things :p

Quote 8323

<AlcarGM> Anne: "Of course I believe you. But that doesn't make it true," gently.
<Mary_jane`^> "But you know it's true... I can see it in your eyes... You just don't believe me."
<AlcarGM> Anne: "I know YOU believe it...."
<Mary_jane`^> "You're a FAIRY."
<AlcarGM> Anne: "Just because ome imaginary thing is real does NOT mean all imaginary things are real!"

Quote 8324

<AlcarGM> One of the weres sniffs burning flesh and lunges towards you past the dog catcher, hunger overcoming obeying. They're rather pitifully thin, but definitely still dangerous.
* Mary_jane`^ slaps him aside like a pimp to his whore
<AlcarGM> The one in the rafters seems to be searching the animal cages for something. It's ignoring everythng else, and seems to be the healthiest of the werewolves
<AlcarGM> The werewolf staggers and hits inot a wall, bouncing off it like a black man's face off the pavement while meeting police officers.
<AlcarGM> It snarls and lunges at you.
* Mary_jane`^ smacks its neck with the hilt of her sword
<AlcarGM> The other two leap, and the teenager wets himself and screeams like a little girl. The dog catcher bellows "BAD DOG!" and actually knocks one back with one heavy-duty rolled up newspaper. THe other lands on him and proceeeds to try and tear his throat out, but he's had enough experience with bad dogs that it's having trouble.
<Mary_jane`^> (( I think we are the most PC place on esper... yay ))

Quote 8325

<Mary_jane`^> "I need to pick up her." Pointing to er.. amy.
<AlcarGM> Bob: "Eh? Amy just came in last night. Stray. Nice girl, though. Must come from good stock."
<Mary_jane`^> "Yeah, I'd say so. Is there any paperwork...?"
<AlcarGM> Bob: "Weeellll, normally there'd be paperwork ....... but seeing as you did stop a werewwolf from eating me, I reckon we can skip all that, eh?" He grins. "Why her?"
<Mary_jane`^> "I know her father."

Quote 8326

<AlcarGM> Okay. You reach the zoo without any trobles. It's rather nice since they fixed it up, though a lot of the animals in the cages are rarely of the same species, and zoo attrendance had been very high after the terrorist threat, mostly because the animals seem to like mating. A lot. Security has been increased due to human animals being drawn to the zoo to do the same thing.
* Mary_jane`^ parks the car and opens the door for amy
<Mary_jane`^> "So is Amy really your name?"
<AlcarGM> She gives a heavy sigh and follows you.
<AlcarGM> She nods. You get the feeling she'd prefer a name that was meaner, though :p
<Mary_jane`^> "Amy... Sounds so Goth... Yeah, you're probably the goth type."
<AlcarGM> She doesn't bite you. Though is very tempted :P
<Mary_jane`^> "Maybe we should die your hair black and give you a mohawk and put some eyliner on... DOWN WITH CONFORMITY!"
<AlcarGM> (( goth wolves would be interesting. Dye themselves deer colours and wear tags or something. Or maybe paint targets on their chests. ))

Quote 8327

* AlcarGM quite likes it that, of all that happened at the zoo, sara's presence is what lingers :)
<Mary_jane`^> lol!
<AlcarGM> Merlin's ego would be crushed if he knew.
<Mary_jane`^> probalby not
<Mary_jane`^> he's WITH sara 24/7 now
<AlcarGM> True.
<Mary_jane`^> he's probably half dead by now
<AlcarGM> He's in Hell :P
<AlcarGM> Merlin: "I amlmost have enough power to get.. what . . you want to AGAIN!?"

Quote 8328

<AlcarGM> A few minutes later Amy rushes back and flops to the ground, panting and looking pleased with herself.
<Mary_jane`^> "ready?"
<AlcarGM> She licks some blood off her nose and nods.
* Mary_jane`^ gets in the car
<AlcarGM> She hops in as well, proud of her kill.
* Mary_jane`^ drives back to the city, downtown this time
<AlcarGM> In the woods, a rather surprised Snark wonders what on earth it ran into....
<Mary_jane`^> (( LoL ))

Quote 8329

<alcar> <AlcarGM> The werewolf staggers and hits inot a wall, bouncing off it like a black man's face off the pavement while meeting police officers.
<GeminiRai> o_O Weird, how'd I avoid reading that line?
<GeminiRai> twice even.
<GeminiRai> maybe three times!
* GeminiRai becomes suspicious of himself
<Snij> short answer? you hate black people
<GeminiRai> I don't think I hate black people...
<GeminiRai> I just don't see them.
<GeminiRai> They are INVISIBLE!
<Snij> well it is night!
* Snij hides

Quote 8330

<GeminiRai> lmao
<GeminiRai> lol, is what she did in the cafe going to hurt her power? :P
<alcar> Nope.
<alcar> But Fenrir's mate is blind, so Amy is annoyed :)
<GeminiRai> lol
<GeminiRai> I hope you didn't just decide that now:P
* GeminiRai would probably want to bring up that it's MJ's fault if it ever came up:P
<alcar> of course not. I'd never be that evil.
<GeminiRai> you wouldn't?
* GeminiRai eyes alcar suspiciously
* alcar whistles innocently

Quote 8331

<Mary_jane`^> "Bah... If we're so small then why can't someone else help us with our problem so the bound god isn't so busy? See? This is what I mean by hierarchy and an army... Where we help eachother... That's what this place needs."
<Mary_jane`^> "That way there won't be such a long line."
<sparkie> "Of course," a voice says behind you. "But that would imply sharing power. And sharing power is seldom done lightly."
<sparkie> The voice sounds like what fire should be, more than what it is.
<Mary_jane`^> "But if everybody shares then it would just be paying it forward."
<Mary_jane`^> "It's an easy thing to accomplish... Plus we all work for the same team..."
<sparkie> "It depends. If you take a piece of pie, do you make it smaller or a bigger pie? I prefer to burn the whole thing to ashes."
<sparkie> "And," the voice says, amused, "what makes you think we're all on any one side, little mortal?"
<AlcarGM> (( debates having dice rolled to see if Sparkie can burn you, just to shaft the dicebot with its own dice. ))

Quote 8332

<AlcarGM> Anne is hovering before the liquor cabinet above the fridge. "Trying to get a drink."
<AlcarGM> She glares at the door. "It's hard to open doors AND get bottles and glasses while six inches tall.
<AlcarGM> Anne: "OMG! You brought a DOG in the house?!"
<Mary_jane`^> "You'll probably die of alcohol poisoning... It's probably for the best..."
<AlcarGM> Anne: ".. what if she tries to eat me!"
<Mary_jane`^> "Did you just say OMG?"
<AlcarGM> pause. "I can't believe I just said that...... AND that was from those . .chatrooms. .your brother frequents."

Quote 8333

<Mary_jane`^> "Is that how you got me through highschool? By being drunk?" .. harsh truths of parenthood emerge.'

Quote 8334

<LiMing> Tass: well, what it comes down to is I'm running a game that's Amber only the players don't really know it and want a good reference or three to drop all sorts of little cute tidbits into conversation
<alcar> have 'em kill the unicorn by mistake witha vorpal bow.
<Tass> thats stupid
<Tass> you can't put vorpal on a bow! :P
<alcar> "What do you mean, we destroyed the universe?"
<alcar> why not, huh?!
<alcar> It's magic. Duh.
* alcar sits back, having won.
<Tass> well, I think it has something to do with it being a ranged weapon, and piercing to boot
<Tass> if we are talking about D&D
<Tass> otherwise, bows don't go snicker snak
<alcar> details, details. Rules are meant to be broken.
<alcar> it's why the gods invented munchkins and rules lawyers

Quote 8335

<Mary_jane`^> "So if you don't want to learn how to talk or find out how your dad does it, then why did you let me in here? Why did you pull me in?"
<AlcarGM> Amy whines, looking afraid. "Maybe I want to."
<Mary_jane`^> "I won't stop you..."
<AlcarGM> Amy: "But mom might be .... angry...." she cowers from the memory.
<Mary_jane`^> "Probably. But she already hates ME."
<AlcarGM> Amy: "She can't. Sh's never smelled you. She just doesn't like humans."
* Mary_jane`^ laughs
<AlcarGM> Any looks up at you, confused by that.
<AlcarGM> Amy wishes the GM would type her name right and bites him.

Quote 8336

<Mary_jane`^> "Don't disalusion yourself, there is always something greater."
<AlcarGM> Voice: "There is not. We will not permit again his actions, his ... ego game. When it ends, there will be no other."
<Mary_jane`^> "And you will still be alone. Why do you destroy his creation?"
<AlcarGM> And, most likely the bound god would be dead in the result... which the voice isn't admiting, but it's there under the words.
<AlcarGM> Voice: "It should never have been. We do what we must."
<Mary_jane`^> "You are exacting revenge on him, this is not punnishment it's more than that."
<AlcarGM> Voice: "He should never have left us," and there are other voices in it as well now..... harmony, of a kind.
<Mary_jane`^> "Rules can only be broken. No one cares if they are followed."
<AlcarGM> (( .. what? :p ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( No one pays attention if you drive the speed limit... It's only there for you to go 5 miles over it ;))

Quote 8337

<Mary_jane`^> "The GRAIL Nora... The thing that bound Merlin with a thought... It did NOTHING."
<AlcarGM> Amy: "It helped the staff," from where she is resting.
<AlcarGM> Nora: "How did you get out?"
<Mary_jane`^> "But to no end... There was so much power... It was flooded with power, but... Nothing came out of it."
<Mary_jane`^> "I think... I think I started a war."
<AlcarGM> Nora stares at you, her eyes wide and very black. "A ...... fuck, MJ. Are you insane?!"
<Mary_jane`^> "Well I didn't MEAN to!"

Quote 8338

<Mary_jane`^> "We're going to fight Luna. Never give up."
<AlcarGM> (( "Never surrender!" ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( ... I was gunna say that =( ))
<AlcarGM> (( lol. ))

Quote 8339

* Mary_jane`^ sits down and leans against the chair, staring distantly at a tree off in the distance, her mind hidden deep in private thoughts
<AlcarGM> You think about sex. Next? :)

Quote 8340

* Mary_jane`^ goes back to the apartment, walking in and hanging up her jacket
<AlcarGM> Amy is sleeping soundly, as Is Nora (on the couch)
* Mary_jane`^ shaks nora
<Mary_jane`^> that could be a typo for shake or shag
<AlcarGM> lets go with the former ;p

Quote 8341

<Fennec> anyway, I'm taking my players on a little Shadow-road. It's a 'paper road' that shows up in Google Maps, but not in real life. And they're navigating along it using GPS. :)

Quote 8342

<Fennec> game elsewhere
<Caltak> Oh? what kidna game?
<Fennec> not entirely unlike the Mortal City deal. Right now, 2 players. Amber backdrop, but I'm the only one who knows that.
<Fennec> right now they're talking to a psychic who is going to read the Trumps, but she's just been called away by her 1-900 network to answer a call

Quote 8343

<Fennec> alcar: what did you think of the 900 number call?
<alcar> very nice :P
<alcar> did you rp said call? :)
<alcar> "Oh, yes! YES! YES! I SAID YES ALREADY! .. sorry. That was my stock broker."
<Fennec> well, I made up the one-sided conversation onna spot
<Fennec> "Well you tell them that if they don't want their fortune to be read then they shouldn't be callin no 900 number askin them for their fortune to be read! I ain't goin waste my time makin' up whatever they wanna hear! I gives them the truth and if the truth means that they're going to trip on their pet goldfish and fall and die from their tenth-floor fire escape it's only cuz they're gonna trip on their pet goldfish and fall and die from their tenth-floor fire escape!
<Fennec> "You- you- now you can just shut up, is what you can do! You know what? You car, you know your nice car? Well it's gonna crash and explode. And it's going to blow up your garage, too. Your whole house is gonna burn down. And then get struck by lightnin'. How's that sound to you now? Well, I don't care. It's out of my hands now!"
<Fennec> "Oh, and your pet gopher's going to drown. No, I don't care if you don't have a pet gopher, you're going to GET one! And then he's going to drown. Yuh-huh."
<Fennec> "I don't need to take no more of this lip from you- I don't. You can - you know what you can tell him? You can tell him I will be glad to see him in Court! Yeah, it'd be a real field day! Yuh-huh, sweetheart, that's awright by me. Bye now!"

Quote 8344

<Mary_jane`^> do you think I should tell Nora that Mjolnir was Thor's penis?
<AlcarGM> lol. It might be best if you didn't :P
* AlcarGM was going to work a joke about that into the game and never did
<Mary_jane`^> 'you know all those times you were swinging the hammer? It's a dead man's penis.'
<AlcarGM> Nora: "If I'd known that I'd have tried sucking on it." without missing a beat
<AlcarGM> :p
<Mary_jane`^> 'I wonder if anything would come out.'

Quote 8345

<AlcarGM> You reachthe campus in five minutes at an easy jog, finding yourself at a campus pub that's been pretty much taken over by students possessed by various medieval people who don't actually exist in the real world.
<AlcarGM> Several Robin Hoods are having a darts competition, quite a few knights are chugging back cheap beer in bottles, and Lancelot is just watching it from one corner, looking depressed.
* Mary_jane`^ walks over across from him and sits down
<Mary_jane`^> "Get over it, life sucks then you die, then you come back and die again."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "Excuse me?"

Quote 8346

<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "There are three Lancelot's in this room. There was one Arthur." He pauses. "He left, wisely. I haven't killed any of the Lancelot's yet, and what do you need from me?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Wait, where?"
* Mary_jane`^ looks
<AlcarGM> A half-drunk man at the bar is boasting about "sex with that Jennifer chick. From, like a thousand years ago."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "There is nothing more depressing than seeing what you've become in stories. They haven't even killed anyone."

Quote 8347

<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "I merely did I was ordered to." He considers that. "If there is punishment for it, it will fall on me and not my leige lord. I trust your ... justice ... is willing to agree with that?" coldly.
* Mary_jane`^ calls the staff
<AlcarGM> One of the snakes appears, looking annoyed. "And I say we .... oh! Err. Hi! We're in line still."
<Mary_jane`^> "Your liege lord is punishing himself. and I didn't say punishment, I said a sacrifice. It's only punishment if you don't want it."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "I don't believe in sacrifice," mildly, the coldness gone. "There are choices. You make you, and the others are no longer possible. Only martyrs make issues of sacrifice. If there are .. prices . .to be paid, I will pay them. If there are for my lord's actions, I will pay those as well."
<Mary_jane`^> "So what will it be? Never killing again, maybe?"
<AlcarGM> Lancelot stares at you like you just suggested he take up becoming a porn star. "I think not."
<Mary_jane`^> "Ok... uhm... How about save as many lives as you've taken?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Ah, innocentlives." Putting up a finger/loophole
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "Saving them from what? One situation, only to die in another?"
<Mary_jane`^> "How many situations does it take to kill someone?"
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "Just the one where they die."

Quote 8348

<AlcarGM> Thangor advances on you, sword in hand. He's definitely a profesional with it. "I'm giving you folks and your dire wolf thre minutes ot get out of here. We paid the rights to the guild for salvage in these tunnels."
<Mary_jane`^> "Uhm... Who are you?"
<AlcarGM> The thief hefts his daggers....
<Mary_jane`^> "Wait, scratch that... Where am I?"
<AlcarGM> Thangor: "I gabe you my name. I am Thangor the mighty, warrior of Crows Nest, champion of King Helwerd the Unready, hero of the Battle of Seven Pines."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "Perhaps they are sewer maitenance workers?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Oh, right, maintenance..."
<Mary_jane`^> "Uhm... Sir worker, we are looking for the king of thorns... Seen him?"
<AlcarGM> The clieric begins muttering a spell. You see magic glitter around her. The fighter advances, sword ready, and he doesn't look like he wants you here. Must be a union thing.
<Mary_jane`^> "Uhm, Listen, I really want to find the guy. You sure you don't know where he is? I'll leave you alone if you tell me. Let you clean up this sewage waste?"
<AlcarGM> Thangor: "Waste?! We see the Appendix of Oroba, God Of Small Puddles!"
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: ".... maybe actors?"

Quote 8349

<Mary_jane`^> "You." Pointing at Thangor "Where is the king of thorns?"
<AlcarGM> Thangor: "I do not know, but I will not let you interfere in our Quest!" he charges!
<AlcarGM> With gives him +2, incidentally.
<AlcarGM> Do you want to kill him now? Please?
<Mary_jane`^> uhhh

Quote 8350

<AlcarGM> Some boulders further on, in a small cave with a pond.
<AlcarGM> There is glowing moss on the wall to light it, because there always is in such caves.
<AlcarGM> It's probably radioactive.
<Mary_jane`^> "Aha, a pond!"
* Mary_jane`^ walks over to the pond
<AlcarGM> amy goes over and drinks from it happily.
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "And?"
* Mary_jane`^ walks around it 3 times
<AlcarGM> The pond remains looking like a pond
<AlcarGM> It does not develop a lady who gives you a sword.
<AlcarGM> though it's a small pond.You'd likely end up with a toothpick :)

Quote 8351

<Mary_jane`^> "So, where is he?"
<AlcarGM> Girl: "In the woods." She hesitates. "Please do not go in. He is angry, and the shadows have grown long and dark. We are - afraid."
<Mary_jane`^> "uh-huh.. I'm going in."
* Mary_jane`^ goes in
<AlcarGM> (( resists the sudden urge to run the session like a text-based adventure... ))

Quote 8352

<AlcarGM> The king stands, leaning on his staff. Power fills the room, brushing past you and almost spinning you around. "You are a fool, then. She was the First, you foolish unimaginative ape."
* Mary_jane`^ shrugs
<Mary_jane`^> "I've seen worse."
<AlcarGM> The king actually laughs at that. "Worse?"
<AlcarGM> His power slams into you like a tidal wave and thorns start ripping out of skin. "You cannot stand against the smallest of my tricks. You have no hope to face her."
<Mary_jane`^> "Ow."
* Mary_jane`^ sighs, and coughs
<Mary_jane`^> "That kind of hurts."
<AlcarGM> The king merely smiles, looking happy, feeding on your pain. "It can last eternity, if I wish it."
<Mary_jane`^> "T'sch, you would too."
<Mary_jane`^> (( So much for being nice ))
<AlcarGM> (( yes :p ))
<AlcarGM> (( "The enemy of my enemy is an arsehole" :p ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( lol ))

Quote 8353

<AlcarGM> Lancelot gets a beer out of the fridge. Even if the fridge didn't have any beer, since it's wise enough in the ways of maytag-fu to not anger him.

Quote 8354

<Mary_jane`^> "Your father doesn't have a place of power in Bellona to link to."
<AlcarGM> Vance: "... I do?"
<AlcarGM> Lancelot stares at you, then the phone, then shakes his head and walks over to the couch
<Mary_jane`^> "Your home. You refused to leave it after all this time, even all the proffessors are gone and you're still there. You're obviously attatched to it."
<AlcarGM> Vance: "I paid the rent for the whole term."

Quote 8355

<Mary_jane`^> you're not making this easy alcar
<AlcarGM> he's not :(
<Mary_jane`^> damnit alcar stop that
<Mary_jane`^> you're the gm you're controlling him
<Mary_jane`^> don't blame your problems on imaginary people!
<AlcarGM> If I did that 100%, he'd be boring :p

Quote 8356

<AlcarGM> Kiesha: "... be careful then. He ... told me I can't go back to his wood. Ever. I've never seen him that angry. Maybe that's why Gabe won ... maybe not. But ... he's really mad, and he could take it all out on you."
<AlcarGM> and ..end of scene!
<AlcarGM> next session: The Fae Get serious. Fenrir Gets Serious. MJ Develops An Ulcer!
* AlcarGM is now known as alcar
* Mary_jane`^ is now known as Chaos`^
* alcar snickers. Fenrir may end up trying to kill mj :p
<Chaos`^> now i don't want to go to bed =p
<alcar> lol

Quote 8357

<Mary_jane`^> "Nora!"
<Mary_jane`^> "How's Luna?"
<AlcarGM> Nora: "Luna's in the microwave."
<Mary_jane`^> "Uhm.. why?"
<AlcarGM> Thee is a plastic tub in it.
<AlcarGM> Nora: "She tried to kill herself, and I couldn't bind her and stop it in time and she ended up becoming a small silver ball, and gettring smaller. So I brought her her,e and Gabe stopped her from dying, or something like that. So I'm keeping her warm. I think it helps."
<Mary_jane`^> "You mean you're cooking her?"
<AlcarGM> Nora: "... well. Yes. Sort of. Heating? Giving energy? It doesn't seem to hurt, at least."

Quote 8358

<AlcarGM> Nora stares at you, then nods and opened the microwave, tossing you a margarine tub containing a small glowing silver sphere the size of your hand.
* Mary_jane`^ grabs the sphere and puts it in the pan "Time for some fun Luna!"
* Mary_jane`^ puts her on the heat
<AlcarGM> Kiesha: "If the smoke alarm goes off, you can explain this to the fire department."
<AlcarGM> The silver sphere gets a little larger and begins to turn golden.
<Mary_jane`^> "See, I fixed her."
* Mary_jane`^ adds salt
<AlcarGM> Nora: "What are you doing? We're not planning to cook her!"
<Mary_jane`^> "C'mon, I'm just joking... Although I wonder how she'd taste..."
<AlcarGM> Kiesha: "Like a dream of water drowning."

Quote 8359

<Alicia> Someday... I want to play a character who knows all the inner secrets of the RPG... just not the one they're IN
<alcar> LOL! That would be awesome.
<Alicia> Metagaming, using the WRONG system knowledge
<alcar> Alienist in D&D.
<alcar> The rpg being, of course, Toon.
<Alicia> LOL
<alcar> "It's okay! I'll just be Knocked Down!"

Quote 8360

<Alicia> You know.. I can just picture the funniest switch
<Alicia> Toon -> Paranoia
<alcar> The Computer drops an anvil on your head...
<Alicia> ROFL
<alcar> I hold up a sign "I am not a commie."
<alcar> That would be nicely weird. Be hard to hide being a mutant when you're an anthropomorphic rabbit :)
<alcar> "What's up, doc?" "I am Your Friend. I am not a docbot."

Quote 8361

<AlcarGM> Tad thumps to a landing inside your mind. You can feel him grinning from ear to ear. "I got the ley lines to start fixing themselves!"
<Mary_jane`^> "Good job. You've now officially done somethign new."
<AlcarGM> Tad: "I told them if they didn't start fixing, you'd cook them," proudly.
<Mary_jane`^> "Glad to be a threat."

Quote 8362

<Mary_jane`^> "I'm supposed to meet with the chained god, remember?"
<AlcarGM> Snake2: "He doesn't DO meetings anymore. Even Krishna couldn't get in."
<AlcarGM> Snake1: "The big K thinks he's preparing for a seige."
<Mary_jane`^> "Oh he doesn't?"
* Mary_jane`^ glares at the snakes "Take me to the waiting line."
<AlcarGM> Snake2: "Too risky."
<Mary_jane`^> "NOW!"
<AlcarGM> Snake1 *sighs* "Can we get our fangs back if we do?" mournfully.
<Mary_jane`^> "You'll have to talk to 'the big k' about that. I didn't take them from you."
<AlcarGM> You appear in a waiting line, very far in the back.. But not as far back as a certain fire elemental who keeps losing his temper. Or two confused Jehovah's Witnesses.

Quote 8363

* Mary_jane`^ pushes at the barrier with her will
<Mary_jane`^> (( MJ is in a very bad mood =p ))
<AlcarGM> Snake2: "And even sex wit it. We got up a bit, but not that far."
<AlcarGM> Snake1: ".. you didn'thave to tel her about the sex!:?
<AlcarGM> Snake2: "I'm not the one who ruined it by molting!"
<AlcarGM> Your will hits it to the same effect as a pea shooter against the hoover dam.
<Mary_jane`^> "Just... be quiet, for five minutes. Please."
<AlcarGM> Snake1: "If he shuts up first."
<AlcarGM> Snake2, wiser, says nothing :p

Quote 8364

<Mary_jane`^> "I'm offering to help. You know he hasn't been there in 35.8 trillian years and if he's planning some kind of siege he needs help."
<AlcarGM> Voice: "Living long enough to be of use will be help enough. The other self may not die if you do."
<Mary_jane`^> "Great, tell me that right before I'm about to go out and kill myself fighting Fae."
<AlcarGM> Voice: "Then don't die," absently. "Making sarifices is all well and good, but it's far better if other people make them for you."
<Mary_jane`^> "What? That's cold hearted and mean. You can't expect someone to die for your cause just because you're too important."
<AlcarGM> Voice: "Real heroes are cold hearted and mea, or they die young throwing themselves in front of their sidekicks."

Quote 8365

<Mary_jane`^> "Who the hell decided that you can judge people for being heros?"
<AlcarGM> Voice: "I used to be one .I stole condoms from the gods."
<AlcarGM> j/k
* AlcarGM may do that as a short story, some day.
<AlcarGM> would be fun to use in greek mythology.
<AlcarGM> "Zeus, you cheated on me!" "You have no proof, darling!" "How about your DAUGHTER!" "But .. I was using . .someone stole the divine condoms!"

Quote 8366

<Mary_jane`^> "You're judging people and you're being narciscistic about it. And it's pissing me off. Who died and made you king?"
<AlcarGM> Voice: "Elvis. Now, go away."

Quote 8367

<Mary_jane`^> "Shut up and die."

Quote 8368

<Kayar> I once had a player who was trying to talk me into letting him have orbital nukes
<Kayar> "it's not a threat, honest! I just need some way to defend myself!"
<Kayar> I gently pointed out to him that maybe his character should trying being nice to people instead :p

Quote 8369

<robertsloan2> actually we had a Feline Intervention rule.
<robertsloan2> if the cat played with the dice the cat's roll stood.
<alcar> lol! I like that rule :p
<Kayar> hehe
<Kayar> did the kitten roll better?
<robertsloan2> hehehe I'll never forget him putting the kitten on the table "Go play, come on, go play!"
<robertsloan2> yep.
<Kayar> haha
<robertsloan2> kitten got a critical success and everyone at the table died laughing.
<robertsloan2> kitten did not understand why everyone was so happy with her but really took to rolling dice after that!

Quote 8370

<AlcarGM> He looks at you critically. "Ah. You decided to wake up."
<Mary_jane`^> "Unlike some immortal swordsmen I know, I value my beauty sleep."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "Beauty is overrated. Especially if it doesn't help you."
<Mary_jane`^> "Beauty always helps. How do you think I made it this far? It wasn't on skill."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "I assumed it was luck."
<Mary_jane`^> "No, it's because no one expects a pretty girl to cut them to pieces."

Quote 8371

<AlcarGM> Several woman come out of one house, all wearing black and leading another woman in black, who is crying, towards the town hall. They notice te two of you but ignore you.
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "I have no idea."
<Mary_jane`^> "Looks morbid."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "Death often is, to parents."
<AlcarGM> A rather fat man in a greasy doublet has come out of the town hall, and is telling the woman he's doing all he can. You suspect he's the mayor; he has used car salesman eyes
<Mary_jane`^> "How do you know their parents and not... wives?"
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "I've known many grieving people in my time. Often in mobs."

Quote 8372

<Mary_jane`^> "YOu said I was probably the fifth best swordsmen alive... who is the second?"
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "Gandhi."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: (after a pause): "Jones. Bounty hunter, from a few centuries ahead of this one."

Quote 8373

<AlcarGM> You reach the mountain easily, and manage to find a path of little feet (and the occasional shoe) that leads up to a cave. The red cap is louging outside it. This one is tall and thin, of an enviable height. He's been known to see quite handome in a certain angle and a certain light. But since he's currently picking his teeth with a thigh bone he's broken in half and drank the marrow out of, this moment probablt doesn;'t count.
<AlcarGM> A young boy is on the ground, his eyes wide with shock, and staring numbly at where his leg was.
<Mary_jane`^> "Barbaric..."
<AlcarGM> The red cap looks up. "I know, darling. These barbarians don't even *bathe*."

Quote 8374

* Mary_jane`^ checks on the kid "THanks."
<AlcarGM> The red cap dies slowly, his expression confused.
<AlcarGM> Lancelot has bandaged up the stump effectively.
<AlcarGM> The boy looks up. "The bad man is gone away?"
* Mary_jane`^ frowns at the boy, wondering how he's even awake "He's gone."
* Mary_jane`^ looks inside the cave for more kids
<AlcarGM> No kids in it. Well, except for remains.
<AlcarGM> The boy nods, still deep in shock. "Good. Will he come back?"
* Mary_jane`^ looks at the boy "Doubt it."
<AlcarGM> The boy looks relived. "Good. I'd like to keep my other leg. Can I go home now?"
<Mary_jane`^> "I don't see why not."

Quote 8375

<Mary_jane`^> "Alot of stories have battlefields... but once we find a spot how will we lure them there?"
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "I would assume the death of one of them would draw them here...."
<Mary_jane`^> "THen why don't we just fight them in that large plains ahead?"
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "It is good enough to..." He stops. "They're early," and starts running back towards the village.
* Mary_jane`^ trots behind him
<AlcarGM> You clear the river, to find the town very silent, and very still.
<AlcarGM> There are six red caps, currently very, very red in the centre of the town.
<Mary_jane`^> "Well the story had a sad ending anyway."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "Yes, but I believe it was the children only..."
<AlcarGM> Boy: "... mom? ... Dad?"
<Mary_jane`^> "Not anymore..."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot sets him down on the ground. "Don't cry. You'll distract us."
<Mary_jane`^> "You're really good at that, you know?" IN a less than gentle tone =p
* Mary_jane`^ sighs and calls Excalibur
<AlcarGM> Lancelot gives you a blank look. "What?"
<Mary_jane`^> "You have a way with kids that I've never seen before..."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "Thank you. But we are about to fight?"
* Mary_jane`^ sighs and shakes her head "Yeah..."

Quote 8376

<AlcarGM> lancelot needs to hire out as a baby sitter
<Mary_jane`^> LoL

Quote 8377

<Mary_jane`^> "What do we do with the boy now?"
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "... I have no idea."
<AlcarGM> (( "Kill him?" ))
<Mary_jane`^> "Well we can't just leave him."
<AlcarGM> Boy: "I want my ... my ... mom .. and . .and dad...."
* Mary_jane`^ turns slowly to lance and smiles
<AlcarGM> (( Lancelot: "Ah. That is easier to arrange." *stabs boy in heart* ))
<AlcarGM> Lancelot looks at the boy. "They're dead. We could kill you, if you want to meet them?"
<AlcarGM> He looks at you. "... what?"
<Mary_jane`^> "You've raised a kid before..."
<AlcarGM> Lancelot stares at you.
<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "To be eaten, yes."

Quote 8378

<AlcarGM> Lancelot: "A sorry excuse for an angel." He shakes his head, helping Wade to his feet.
<Mary_jane`^> "It smells pine fresh now..."
<Mary_jane`^> "Former Angel remember. And don't judge him. As if you can heal any better."
<AlcarGM> (( Tad: "I think I burnt the pines." ))
* Mary_jane`^ kneels down infront of wade, staring at him
<AlcarGM> (( Lancelot: "I can. They call me Kevorkian. Jack Kevorkian." ))
<Mary_jane`^> (( ROFLMAO!!! ))
<AlcarGM> Lancelot helped him stand.
<AlcarGM> (( unfortunately out of character :p ))

Quote 8379

<alcar> I just love the image of "contemplating murdering the 712 infants"
<Kayara> that never goes down well
<Kayara> trying to avoid a prophecy
<Kayara> in a lot of stories it seems that by attempting to avoid the prophecy, you fulfill it
<alcar> "No, no, I can't go out hunting. I'm contemplating the murder of 712 infants! Come back in ten minutes."
* alcar nods. Yeah.
* alcar chuckles. I once had a player in a game I ran avoid prohecy rather handily.
<alcar> His PC heard about the prophecy. PC had gloves that could unleash lighting. He put them up to his face and blew his own head off.
<alcar> Me: "Uh ..... what?" Player: "I didn't want to be fulfilling some stupid prophecy."
<alcar> Me: ".... good job?:"
<Kayara> haha
<Kayara> I guess that's one way to go about it...
* alcar nods. Took me by surprise.

Quote 8380

<aslhk> but I am thinking that pcs know of amber but have been forbidden from going there =P
* alcar nods. If he needs a job other than being a Prince, then ninja would be fun. Just for the casual use on a resume.
<aslhk> and everyone knew each other as children!
<alcar> "It's a tourist trap."
<alcar> Amber as Disneyworld.
<aslhk> but got kicked out of amber for breaking a statue of dworkin =P
<alcar> Tours of the Pattern.
<alcar> "You must be THIS much related to us to take this ride."
<aslhk> lol
<aslhk> disneyworld is a shadow of amber =P
<alcar> That would rock :0
<aslhk> that would be really weird *laugh*
<alcar> Walt as Dworkin....
<alcar> Scary though.
<aslhk> yeah, but I can imagine dworkin as a cryogenically frozen head
<aslhk> =P
<alcar> Making faces at people.

Quote 8381

<Chaos`^> Fine, she let him go because he needed to go learn what it's like to be a dragon... But only if Fred watched over him
<Chaos`^> which can be a good or a bad thing, your choice
<Chaos`^> wait i take that back
<Chaos`^> I hate your choices
<Chaos`^> =p
<Chaos`^> they always get me into trouble
<Chaos`^> why would I let a story watch over my magic...
<Chaos`^> That's a bad idea
<Chaos`^> he's freelancing baby... doesn't need no baby sitter

Quote 8382

<Mary_jane`^> "Have you ever seena real cow?"
<AlcarGM> Mos: "Yeah. Father imported a whole farm in once from New Eden IV once. Took over three weeks for them to grow in the water to life size."
<Mary_jane`^> "Water?"
<AlcarGM> He nods. "They came shrink wrapped, too. Saved on shipping."
<Mary_jane`^> (( Sea cow? =p ))
<AlcarGM> (( chia pet effect :p Real cow, though :p ))

Quote 8383

<AlcarGM> You finish the meal without any problems, only to find a fortune cookie with the free dessert, and the catina/cafe doesn't do fortune cookies.
<AlcarGM> IN fact, no place on this world does.
* Mary_jane`^ opens it
<AlcarGM> You open it. THe paper is old, yellowed, and real paper. On it is scrawled in a harsh, shaky calligraphy: Novus ordo seclorum.
<AlcarGM> On the back it has (A new order for the ages)
* Mary_jane`^ asks one of the wait staff for Mos
* Mary_jane`^ eats the cookie =p
<
