Quotes 9201 to 9300

Quote 9201

* Cameron nods, and heads back downstairs, checking his e-mail on the way!
<AlcarGM> No emails of note. A few spam. Some offers of fang enlargement. The usual.

Quote 9202

<AlcarGM> The pizza is half gone. 15 + were + very hungry = bad combination.
<AlcarGM> Star has stopped eating and is just watching Simon go through pizza looking rather stunned.
<Cameron> "A healthy appetite, indeed."
<Cameron> "It always amazes me how beneficial eating is for people."
<AlcarGM> Simon makes some sounds, swallows.... blinks.... "Err... sorry."
* Cameron takes a seat and gets a slice. He eats pizza with a fork and knife ...
<AlcarGM> of course he does :P
<Cameron> "Don't apologize! You aren't making a mess, and are regaining your strength."
<Cameron> "Whatever lives were given for this pizza have long been lost. There is nothing to lament, save for their waste if their substance is not made unto sustenance."
* Cameron almost sounds prophetic :P

Quote 9203

* Keith is now known as Rei`-`
<Kage`> (yay!)
<Kage`> (does it bother anyone else that rei rhymes with fae? :P)
<Rei`-`> (guess who is here)
<Cameron> ((Not as much as it bothers me that we haven't finished our fae genocide yet ;p))

Quote 9204

<Kage`> "I think I might get something to eat, and then maybe head to bed, its been a long day."
<Kage`> (unless tomorrow won't be happening today, this is still wrap up from last monday, right?)
<AlcarGM> (( Err. Yes :p ))

Quote 9205

<AlcarGM> okayt! You asre in Hell at the moment. A giant shopping mall, ande were directled to the amusement park in the basement. I assume you go there and avoid the crowds and demons and tourists?
<Rei`-`> sounds good
<AlcarGM> Okay. You go down stairs past shops that offer everything from Elvis recordingd from the 1980s to the hearts of baby unicorns and the promise of an Abba reunion or a way to curse someone with the love of Disco .. the amusement park is quite large, and done up in red and black, with lots of sulphur, flames, and a sign saying "You ust be THIS tall to go on rides" .... with no corresponding meansurement.
* Rei`-` shrugs it off and heads on in
<AlcarGM> A few demons and humans are around. You spot Oprah talking to Beezlebub, and someone has a statue of Machiavelli in a corner, though from the way the statue screams as children poke it wiht sticks, it might not be statue.
<AlcarGM> How do you plan to find the sphinx?
<Rei`-`> anything in any direction look like an egiption theam?
<AlcarGM> Nope..... some Disneyland ones, though. You spot the Mickey Mouse version of Bill The Cat smoking Donald Duck.

Quote 9206

<Rei`-`> think i'll wander around slacking off till somebody assumes i should be working some place in the park
<AlcarGM> You wander around and manage to find the Sphinx by pure luck... it's in with all the other kiddle rides, like the horse, and Ghengis Khan and the Apostle Peter ... coin operated ride, a quarter efvery minute.

Quote 9207

<Cameron> "Tell me of your dream, Kage."
<Kage`> "I've had several."
<Cameron> "Involving that man?"
<Kage`> "You mean, just with the old guy?"
<AlcarGM> Simon nods, frowning, trying to recall more and giving up with sigh
* Cameron nods as well. :P
<Kage`> "I remember him standing by a crossroad, to where, I don't know."
<Kage`> "He was sad and tired, you could tell by looking at his eyes..."
<Kage`> "I passed him by, like I was in a car, and then there was when I dreamed about him playing tic tac toe with a coyote."
<Cameron> "So we have Winterland snow, and Emo Indians."
<Cameron> "I believe the secrets of the earth are soon to be ours."
* Cameron mutters :P

Quote 9208

<Rei`-`> "Which brings us around to the reason for my viset."
<AlcarGM> Sphinx: "I hope it's not ariddle. I HATE riddles. It was all fine until they came up with that quantum shit."

Quote 9209

<AlcarGM> Charles: "And you? What are you more than a creature too cowardly to accept they've died and walking around too afraid to risk death, clinging to cowardice as your immortality, not having honour enough to be true to anything?"
<Cameron> "There are things more important than honor."
* Cameron says almost as levelly :P
<AlcarGM> Charles: "Not if you're really a man."
<Cameron> "I, beast, am no longer a man."
<AlcarGM> Charles: "Then why live? If you've lost honour, why do you bother with your mockery of life?"
<Cameron> "I thought you said you were a Seer."
<Cameron> "Can't you understand? Perhaps it is best explained as this.."
<Cameron> "I have for this world a Gardener's Love."
<AlcarGM> Charles: "I'm the kind no one wants. I see too deeply."

Quote 9210

<Forest`^> "Ok... SO where did you dance?"
<kentari> Another clap, and turn.
<kentari> <Tulip> "So anyway, I was little and didn't know what room was what. She pointed at a door, and dared me to go inside and dance."
<kentari> <Tulip> "So I went in dancing and stuff... it was the locker room!"
<kentari> <Tulip> "The BOYS locker room!"
<kentari> Petunia grins that wicked grin of a guilty sibling. I'm sure you know it. :P
<Aaron_V> ((Fully))
<Forest`^> "So what dance was it?"
<kentari> <Tulip> "The ... the chicken dance." She says, meagerly, as it happens to begin playing. She pales in post-traumatic shock.

Quote 9211

<kentari> <Petunia> "Uhm .. I danced at a bowling alley once. On the lane."
<kentari> <Tulip> "Liar! You never even did that!"
<kentari> Petunia glares :P
<Aaron_V> ((little siblings, the ultimate sense motive :D)0

Quote 9212

<Forest`^> "No worries... Just watch where you're moving your hand..." My sidearm wasn't exactly at my side, I holstered it in the back
<kentari> Forest, Petunia, and Tulip are at the center of the conga circle, with 13 rings between them and you, Drew.
* Forest`^ is dancing a conga to Hava Nagila
<Drew`> .....
<kentari> Petunia notices Drew and waves from the center of the circle.
<kentari> Tulip looks a little freaked out, whispering to Forest.
<kentari> "Do you .. have a back problem, or something?"
* Drew` waves back, a trifle urgently :)
* Drew` waves for them to come over
<Forest`^> "No, that's just where I keep my sidearm."
* Forest`^ yells out "Reverse!" and spins
<kentari> <Tulip> "S-s-s-SIDEARM!?"

Quote 9213

* Anton throws his arms up, blue lines racing down them and twisting, covering his arms till they melt away, leaving smoooth shiny metal behind
* Aaron_V looks at Anton. "Interesting."
* Anton 's fingertips are wide, longer, and look like they have holes in the end of them
<Drew`> ".... better than pretending to be dead."
* Anton reaches into his pocket and inserts a clip of ammo into his elbow :P
* Anton pulls back his thumb, tchk! tchk!
<Drew`> (( tennis elbow X3 ))
* Aaron_V just kind of blinks.
<Anton> "That was all theoretical, by the way!"
* Anton looks nervously amused! ;P

Quote 9214

<Forest`^> "Excuse me... what's going on?" looking at the officer.
<kentari> One of them removes your sidearm after a moment, "Would you care to tell US what's going on?"
<kentari> You realize.. its a female voice.
<kentari> They're... they're all female..
<Aaron_V> ((Now THAT'S the bad side of girl magnet))
<Drew`> (( ..... damn..... :P ))
<Forest`^> "I THOUGHT it was a bar mitzvah... I didn't know there were hostages involved."

Quote 9215

<kentari> <Creature> "It is -- " a barrage of ranged combat damage interrupts the creature.
<kentari> The sound of the impact is like that of glass being broken while inside a back. A sort of crunching sound.
<Aaron_V> "It is what?"
<Drew`> "......"
<kentari> The creature jerks back a bit, but retains its footing.
<Drew`> "So much for actually talking...."
<kentari> <Creature> "Monsters! Swarming upon a benign host ... you are but locusts!"
<Aaron_V> "It just plunged a blade into your chest, and you want to talk to it?"
<kentari> It sounds a LOT like Drew, except for the vocabulary. ;p
<Drew`> "It had to learn English somehow."

Quote 9216

<kentari> <Officer> "How old are you, kid?"
<Drew`> (( "Sara did a better job than you!" ))
* Forest`^ looks at the officer's nametag
<Forest`^> "Seventeen."
<kentari> None.
<kentari> <Officer> "Then, explain how this sidearm is legal."
<Anton> (its a trap!)
<Drew`> (( "It's not a sidearm. I'm just happy to see you." ))
<Forest`^> "I'm emancipated."
<Aaron_V> ((...))
<Anton> (And I'm Proclimated!)
<Anton> (and together WE FIGHT CRIME!)
<kentari> <Officer> "And I'm Proclimated."
<kentari> (( :P j/k))

Quote 9217

<kentari> You are chucked, minus sidearm, into the fresh arrivals cell. There are various vagrants and miscreants about you, in varying states of sobriety. Friday night appears to be active!
* Forest`^ pulls up his pants
* Forest`^ finds an empty corner, and sits down
<kentari> A feller shuffles up to you, and asks: "... Are you using those shoes right now?"
<Forest`^> "Yes, get your own."
<kentari> He mutters something about the bourgeois, but doesn't have to spell it right since he's saying it.

Quote 9218

* Forest`^ looks at him "All i have here are photos. What do you want?"
<kentari> <Man> "The man in these photos. You know the face now."
<kentari> <Man> "Tomorrow, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, he will be finishing with a speech at the high school. You are to wait there, and eliminate him."
<Forest`^> "You know i'm not supposed to bring guns to school."
<kentari> <Man> "Do you think that matters, at this point? You know what you have to do. Are you going to do it?"
<Forest`^> "If I do this for you, then I just get framed for yet another murder, which brings me back where we started. What do I get out of this?"
<kentari> <Man> "Ah, ah, ah. Don't get ahead of yourself. Do this, and everything washes away. A typographical error on your birth certificate is fixed, and you are rightly 18 years of age."
<kentari> <Man> "... We can also help with your student council election."
<Aaron_V> ((...))

Quote 9219

<kentari> I did look into it, for prank value
<kentari> and if I could poison my roommate's food with the proper hormone therapy medication
<kentari> They'd all blossom into their own, natural full-busted beauty within months.
<tatterdemalion> Reasons Sara needs shapechange other.... :p
<kentari> She has transmute, hasn't she? :P
<Rachael> doesn't she have it?
<Rachael> it's what, four points to make it explicit?
<Rachael> I'm sure you can manage it
* tatterdemalion nods.
<Rachael> maybe you could even turn it into an attack
<tatterdemalion> on Cecil :p
<tatterdemalion> lol!
<Rachael> tatterdemalion: yes!
<tatterdemalion> Now THAT would be funny.
<Rachael> tatterdemalion: on Cecil!
<tatterdemalion> Weapn attack - Give Boob Job
<Rachael> Well, I'm sure there are other odd sexual situations you could make with that (some of them more perverted than others :P)

Quote 9220

<AlcarGM> Biology class is a lecture on cells and cell theory. Standard, boring stuff.
<Akai> (cell theory is so not boring)
<AlcarGM> You do, however, learn about the akai cell that acts like a virus and invades other cells (hereafter called games) to asert the importance of cells (this time just called cells) :p

Quote 9221

<Anelelinde> Hmm. Let's check my To do. Umm... abuse Sophie, play games with the focus, take over the pack, hmm, should I encourage the cult more? what else...
<Kage`> btw
<kentari> ((Sounds like trouble.))
<Kage`> I hate your cult :P
<AlcarGM> (( hehe ))
<Anelelinde> they love you! or they should
* Kage` (totally took care of the 'loving him' part :P)
<AlcarGM> (( yeah :P ))

Quote 9222

<Kage`> "Where have you been?"
<Anelelinde> "School!"
* Anelelinde <-- looks quite human/normal
<Anelelinde> "Don't let me keep you, then."
* Kage` remembers cameron speaking of a glamour
<Kage`> "By the way."
<Kage`> "Did you make a cult last week?"

Quote 9223

<Cameron> "Who are you, and what did you do to your sensible twin brother?"
<Kage`> "What part of 'cut out of his head' don't you understand you ignoramus?"
<AlcarGM> (( ooh. Uppitty weapon! ))
<AlcarGM> (( *deducts marks* ))
* Kage` (destroy world)
<AlcarGM> Tin finally stops trembling.
<Kage`> (seriously, I don't see whats so difficult :P)
<Kage`> (I mean, other than it being an alcar game! )
<Cameron> ((I thought Kage was implying that the male gendered pronouns were rude :P))
* Cameron does not roll his eyes. He will not roll his eyes.
<Kage`> (no no, don't ask him what he found, because he can't tell you)

Quote 9224

<Kage`> "I have to go, really, and I appreciate the help."
<Cameron> "Let me inform Simon, first.. unless you think he should come along? I know how the two of you attract those 2s when you're together.."
<AlcarGM> Rocks fall on Cameron.
* Cameron ducks inside and kind of loudly states to Simon that he's heading out for awhile, and to smoke a kipper for him, cuz he'll be back for breakfast.
<Kage`> (have you been watching red dwarf recently? :P)
<AlcarGM> (( The rocks reverse themselves in homage to red dwarf ))

Quote 9225

<Tass> "Tin. Where is your feather?"
<AlcarGM> Tin pulls it out of thin air.
<Tass> 'Good. Now we won't get lost in the woods."
<Cameron> "I thought that was bread crumbs."
<Tass> "An old man gave him it, raven's feather, I believe."
<Cameron> "Regardless. Can you take us?"
* Cameron asks Tin.
<AlcarGM> The feather shimmers...... and there's a sound, cawing... a noise like beaks snapping.... and the world twists, not bluring as much as remaking itself. The feather is gone, Tin's a couple of inches shorter, and you're at the edge of a forest.
* Tass blinks and looks about, "A key?"
* Tass looks around for you know who :P
<Cameron> "I'm going to establish this new rule very quickly."
<Cameron> "We do not speak in riddles. Okay?" :P

Quote 9226

<Tass> this short bus has one seat too many :P
<Tass> next time I go on a spirit quest, cameron is so staying home :P
<AlcarGM> :p

Quote 9227

<Cecil`^> "I'm here to help."
<AlcarGM> Salem blinks, once, gaze never leaving yours: "Why?"
* Cecil`^ shrugs
<Cecil`^> "I could tell you that the reaper threatened to kill me if I didn't, but it doesn't matter. I would have anyway. You're my friend."
<AlcarGM> A muscle in her jaw twitches. "I am not."
<Cecil`^> "You're not?"
<Cecil`^> "I like to think of you as a friend. Why don't you?"
<AlcarGM> Salem: "No one was my friend. Not even Simon. He - left, to do .. whatever he did, in bars. A boy, like all boys, confusing the line between friendship and sex Even Vaj died. No one cared. I thought it would be different. No one came to find me, after. We sent out wedding invitations. No one came."
<AlcarGM> Sara: "...."
<AlcarGM> Sara: "I could slap her!"

Quote 9228

<Cecil`^> "You sent out wedding invitations? I didn't get one."
* Cecil`^ frowns at her
<Cecil`^> "I thought you didn't invite me."
<AlcarGM> (( lol ))
<AlcarGM> Salem: "They were crows. We sent out the crows, and not a one came back."
<Cecil`^> "Crows? How am I supposed to knokw a CROW is a wedding invitation? Crows are... Birds, Salem... Send a card that says 'you're invited to my wedding' but not a CROW."
<AlcarGM> Salem: "The crows turned into the invitations. It was magic." The 'duh' is left unsaid :p

Quote 9229

<Cecil`^> "Anyway, Salem..."
<Cecil`^> "Tell me about what happened."
<Cecil`^> (( I'm leaving it open for her, she can either talk about dodger, or the reaper, or whatever else she feels like talking about ;))
<AlcarGM> Sara just grins, and Salem, wisely, does nothing. She looks over at you. "We fucked."
<AlcarGM> (( hopefully, this is NOT about dodger her pet dog :P ))
<Cecil`^> (( ^^ ))
* Cecil`^ nods sagely
<Cecil`^> "But it wasn't right, was it?"
<AlcarGM> Salem: "... right?"
<Cecil`^> "Something went wrong."
<AlcarGM> Salem: "He never laughed!"

Quote 9230

<AlcarGM> poor cecil :P
<Cecil`^> What would make her think I knew that she blew it?
<AlcarGM> she thought yo meant she was teh suxors in bed :p
<Cecil`^> I know
<Cecil`^> HOW would I know that!?
<AlcarGM> Well, you know *something* went wrong :)
<AlcarGM> and she's, like, seriously insecure :)
<Cecil`^> lol

Quote 9231

<Cecil`^> "And he wanted to keep you forever, so he ate your soul?"
<AlcarGM> Salem nods. "Because he loves me."
<AlcarGM> Sara: ".... at least he didn't beat you, too! Becuase that's love as well!"
<Cecil`^> "Tell me more about that night... Who are the players here? How did the night start off?"
* Cecil`^ waves off Sara "YOU can save the comments to translate parts that I don't understand."
<AlcarGM> Sara: "I could make a list!"
<AlcarGM> Salem: "I - can't. It was - it ws beautiful. And terrifying. Both. I don't want to - to damage it."
<Cecil`^> "Damage it? You can never damage something by remembering it Salem. Just use the best words to describe what happened."
<AlcarGM> Salem: "You narrow things once you define them. You - kill them. And then you can't raise them, because they've changed."

Quote 9232

<Cecil`^> "So you kept a piece of yourself, and he ate part of you, yet you are still giong to die. How does that help?"
<AlcarGM> Salem: "Because then I won't hurt him," simply.

Quote 9233

<Cecil`^> "You won't?"
<AlcarGM> Salem: "Die. I decided not to. And there are - rituals. I just need a copy of the torah translated directly to Eubonics."
<AlcarGM> Salem: "That was a joke," trying on a smile that doesn't quite fit. "Haven't you - haven't you ever been in love?"
* Cecil`^ frowns
<Cecil`^> "Yes."
<AlcarGM> Salem: "Then why are you asking? For him, I would do anything. He - doesn't have that option. So I lost my soul, but it stil hurt him, so I had to go away."
<Cecil`^> "Just because she died, doesn't mean she's gone. Her memory will remain, and all of the joy we had together... I can relive any moment of it that I wish, whenever I want. I think the important thing was that we filled up all of that time with eachother."
<AlcarGM> Sara: "So you're saying you DID have sex?"
<Cecil`^> "I already told you that, Sara. Can we keep on topic?"
<AlcarGM> Sara: "Sex is always on topic."

Quote 9234

<Cecil`^> "The angels said they didn't make me..." Sighing "But I think if we're going to find out what's going on, perhaps we should start where I began."
* Cecil`^ grins at Sara
<AlcarGM> Sara: "Oh! Is this like: 'what were you before you were born'? I made that up as a party game once!"
<Cecil`^> "What? Oh, i'm talking about my first memory."
<Cecil`^> "It's in the mountains of Tibet..." bitting his lip
<AlcarGM> Sara; "Does it involve monks?!"
<Cecil`^> "Well, yes... Can you take us there?"
<AlcarGM> Sara :"Of course! I LOVE monks! They make love like saints do! Butr without the body odour problem!"
<Cecil`^> "Hmmm..."
<Cecil`^> "I can't concentrate if you keep squeeling."

Quote 9235

<AlcarGM> You step through worlds, and find yourself standing outside the ruins of an old monastery long since given up the ghost to the ravages of time, though the vines twisting through rocks and plants growing out of ancient paving stones seem almost a caress and not ravages at all.
<Cecil`^> "The place hasn't changed much, in a thousand years..." Looking around
<Cecil`^> "I was over..." Looking and pointing "There, on that mountain. Wearing the clothes of a monk... I was lost, confused. I couldn't remember why I was here, or where I was going."
<Cecil`^> "I looked... Probalby like a teenage human boy, at the time."
<AlcarGM> No one is here anymore. It's high up on the mountain at least, though the snow isn't quite so bad here, and far enouhg away from everything that the Chinese never found it.
<AlcarGM> Sara: "You don't recall hatching?"
* Cecil`^ shakes hsi head

Quote 9236

<Cecil`^> "The question is, where did I come from?"
<AlcarGM> Sara: "The earth! Everyone comes from that! Or the ocean!"
<AlcarGM> You find a small tunnel leading into the top of the mountain proper. A bit of a squeeze now, of course, but it likely wasn't back then
<Cecil`^> "There isn't an ocean around... Why would I come from the earth in the middle of nowhere?"
* Cecil`^ sighs and motions to the tunnel
<Cecil`^> "Let's try this, atleast it looks more logical than the earth..."
* Cecil`^ crawls in it
<AlcarGM> Sara slips in after you easily, of course. She's good at fitting into tight spaces.
<Cecil`^> I'm sure she's well practiced
<AlcarGM> quite ;)
<Cecil`^> "Do you know this area? Have you been here before?"
<AlcarGM> Sara :"Not since it was under water!"
<Cecil`^> "I wasn't talking to you... I was asking myself."
<AlcarGM> sara :"Then talk quieter!"

Quote 9237

* AlcarGM smiles evilly
<AlcarGM> 1d2 1 = hatch, 2 = aliens
<sparkie> AlcarGM 1d2: 2 1 = hatch, 2 = aliens
<AlcarGM> Thank you sparkie.
<Cecil`^> ROFL

Quote 9238

<Cecil`^> i hate aliens in vampire games
* tatterdemalion snickers
<tatterdemalion> why?! :p
<Chaos`^> because, they don't fit
<Chaos`^> you have to seperate them
<Chaos`^> it's one, or the other
<tatterdemalion> Who sayts they don't fit? :p
<Chaos`^> ME
<tatterdemalion> ..... Right.
<Chaos`^> can't stand the whole magic/science conflict
<Chaos`^> it's another complication that I just don't need
<tatterdemalion> What conflict? :p
<Chaos`^> Exactly!
<Chaos`^> Which is why I can't stand them

Quote 9239

* tatterdemalion has never actually done real aliens.
<Chaos`^> ...
<tatterdemalion> it might be fun for a change :P
<Chaos`^> Alcar
<Chaos`^> are you high?
* tatterdemalion tends to do UA style ones :)
<tatterdemalion> which are magic.
* Chaos`^ sighs
<Chaos`^> I'm going to crawl out of the tunnel
<Chaos`^> and pretend it never happened
<Chaos`^> then maybe it will go away
<tatterdemalion> hehe
<Chaos`^> can we do that?
<tatterdemalion> if you want to, sure :p
<Chaos`^> Just really quick, maybe cecil can crawl out of the tunnel, and just walk away?

Quote 9240

<Chaos`^> aliens have no right to be in lolad
<Chaos`^> there is too much confusion with gods and the powers of the universe for aliens to show up

Quote 9241

<Anelelinde> if the aliens want, we might let them into the pack :P
<tatterdemalion> lol.
<Anelelinde> just what we need! Werealiens.
<tatterdemalion> Now *that* would be weird.
<tatterdemalion> Damn. I'm surprised no one wantred to play that, really...

Quote 9242

<alcar> the pcs were going to be the cast of Dark Shadows (whpo ruled the town), the Munsters, the Addams family etc.
<alcar> all in the one town.
<alcar> And never any real aliens :p
<kentari> ;P
<alcar> Which was the only thing their boss wanted.
<alcar> was going to be ppl from My Friendly Martian etc, too. But no Martian.
* alcar had given the game 30 sessions to basically finish, but the players never showed up at once forit to work :(
<alcar> and Keith's pc just .. didn't work.
<kentari> lol
* alcar had plots for it, and it was possible, but .... didn't work.
<kentari> there was a strange bunch
<kentari> I felt like I was the sane guy, in there
<kentari> And I was a mexican wrestling mariachi accountant alien!
<kentari> :P
* alcar chuckles
<kentari> whose only purpose to finding the aliens .. was to get them to pay their taxes :P
<kentari> ah, such beauty in simple goals :P

Quote 9243

<Anelelinde> who is where, anyway?
<alcar> Lynn was with Simon, Cecil with Sara, Kage and Cameron at the Forest, Rei in Hell.... Yuki, thanks to her player, is MIA.... Faline is now an NPC, and in the Winterland...
<alcar> paarty cohesion is a wonderful thing :p
<Cecil`^> hey
<Cecil`^> atleast you have them in pairs, except for rei
<Anelelinde> Simon is an NPC though, so... =/
<Cecil`^> We find that sticking together in a large group tends to bring about trouble

Quote 9244

<Cecil`^> have you ever SEEN what happens when we all get together?
<Anelelinde> okay, maybe YOU are responsible on your own :P
<alcar> It hasn't happened yet :p
<Cecil`^> You've obviously never been to the mall
<Cecil`^> OR the circus
<Cecil`^> Or the school...
<Cecil`^> or the mansion...
<alcar> Psh, the circus wasn't everyone. And it only destroyed a ferris wheel.
<Anelelinde> I went to school!
<Cecil`^> or that one church that we met the old indian guy
<alcar> And, erm, the last time the pcs were in one area one almost caused an invasion via Hell. But that was all Elana's fault.
<Cecil`^> but it hasn't happened in this game for a REASON
<Anelelinde> yes! distracted disjointed players!
<Cecil`^> no
<Cecil`^> Cecil knows better

Quote 9245

<AlcarGM> Sara: "... why aren't there aliens?"
<Cecil`^> "Because if there were, they'd have invaded by now."
<AlcarGM> Sara: "Not if they're not human, silly."
<Cecil`^> "We'd all just be little slaves to the aliens... That, and the fact that you've never met one before. How old did you say you were, again? They'd have come to visit at SOME point, and if they did have enough technology then they would know that you are the person who knows the most about this world."
<AlcarGM> Sara: "Well, I;ve never gone looking for any."
<AlcarGM> Sara: "I didn't think they'd want sex!"

Quote 9246

<Cecil`^> what have you done?
<Cecil`^> Faline was bad enough
<AlcarGM> hm?
<Cecil`^> Andelelinde is like the new old rabbit
<AlcarGM> :p
<Cecil`^> and I can't even spell her name!
<Cecil`^> See how bad this is?
<Cecil`^> YOU ARE FUCKING EVIL MAN!

Quote 9247

* Cecil`^ looks for footprints other than his own and sara's
<AlcarGM> No recent ones. The alien was not touching the ground.
* Cecil`^ doesn't believe in aliens anyway
<Cecil`^> "Can you tell how long?" THe gm refuses to tell me whether I know or not
<AlcarGM> Sara shrugs: "I have no idea! I don't track things. Except lovers!"
<Cecil`^> "Fine, have you had sex with any of the humans that were in this cave?"
<AlcarGM> Sara: "only that one!" pointing to a spot by the entrance. "But that was 812 years, 4 months and 15 days ago!"
* Cecil`^ hmms
* Cecil`^ walks over to the spot she's pointing too
<Cecil`^> "That's 200 years AFTER my first memory... Do you remember much about him?"
<AlcarGM> NO tracks there. It's been 812 years, after all.
<AlcarGM> Sara: "He was okay in bed!"
<Cecil`^> "Anything useful?"
<AlcarGM> Sara: "He didn't have any diseases!"

Quote 9248

<Cecil`^> "How old is this monastery?"
<AlcarGM> She shrugs. "Lao Tzu founded it."
* Cecil`^ bites his lip, remembering
<Cecil`^> "That fits the time frame... Are there any stories of anyone leaving about a thousand years ago, and heading that way." Pointing
<AlcarGM> The woman frowns......
<AlcarGM> She looks you over. "Perhaps. Why do you ask?"
<Cecil`^> "Because that's my first memory, on that mountain over there, and heading east. I found another monestary... But I do not know where I come from."
<AlcarGM> The woman blinks, then loooks at you. "What is your name?" gaurdedly
<Cecil`^> i need a chinese name =p
<AlcarGM> Kung Pow? :p

Quote 9249

<AlcarGM> The woods remina dark, though the path is easy enough to follow. You can hear people singing now, off to your left, and see lights glowing in that direction.
* Cameron almost hisses, "Don't heed the lightses."
<Cameron> (( :P ))
<AlcarGM> (( :p ))
<Kage`> "Distractions."
* Kage` looks that way
<Cameron> "The tricksy lights. Candles of corpses, yes, yes." >:D
* AlcarGM shakes his head
<Cameron> (( ;p ))
<Cameron> (( I could not resist! ))

Quote 9251

<Anelelinde> (( ahh, we don't need sadism... ))
<Cecil`^> (( Tell that to the cute butterfly boy you made ))
<Anelelinde> "Ah. She is off Binding in the Winterland."
<Anelelinde> (( boredom != sadism ))
<Cecil`^> (( I had to send him to the hospital ))
<Anelelinde> (( besides, we established that it made him interesting enough to have all sorts of future history alcar made up, so we know he survived Trail, and that says something!"
<AlcarGM> (( lol ))
<Cecil`^> (( No, the future history alcar made up is IF he survives trail ))

Quote 9252

<Cecil`^> "So Sara, while we wait, why don't you tell me about your obsession with Dragon history?"
<AlcarGM> Sara: "I love dragons! Most of them have large penises! Except for some!"
<Cecil`^> "That doesn't make any sense, Sara... That's not what you're so obsessed with."
<AlcarGM> Sara: "Of course! Sex is all there is, silly!"
<Cecil`^> "I see..."
<AlcarGM> The woman's shoulders shake with silent laughter
<Cecil`^> which is exactly what Sara wants
<Cecil`^> I know her game
<AlcarGM> Everyone does! :p
<Cecil`^> nah
<Cecil`^> not everyone knows that she's doing it just to make them think she's ignorant
<AlcarGM> The woman leads both of down two hallways and up a short flight of staires to a 30' by 30' round room with 3 doors leading in and some rugs on the ground. No tapestries.
<AlcarGM> Woman: "Wait here," as she exists out the lef door.
* Cecil`^ doesn't bother talking to Sara, since the walls have ears and he won't get anythign out of her that way
<AlcarGM> Sara wishes the walls had more than just ears.

Quote 9253

<AlcarGM> <Cecil`^> "So Sara, while we wait, why don't you tell me about your obsession with Dragon history?"
<AlcarGM> <AlcarGM> Sara: "I love dragons! Most of them have large penises! Except for some!"
<Cecil`^> ...
<Cecil`^> Alcar, can you keep a secret?

<Cecil`^> ok?

Quote 9254

<Anelelinde> "Maybe some of you know that I can read minds but tonight.... you can read mine, so you KNOW what you're dealing with. Okie?"
* Anelelinde has prepared a consciousness dump. :P
<AlcarGM> A few do look, or try to, never having been allowed such a thing before :p
* Anelelinde is operating in "transparent" mode, if not "wide open" to input.

Quote 9255

* Cameron nods, concentrating a bit of aura about him like an umbrella set against all this .. happy-go-lucky atmosphere.
<AlcarGM> Cameron's aura flares up .. pink.

Quote 9256

<AlcarGM> You reach the top without any trouble, and come two two large wooden doors, unmarked. (Large being 30' tall, solid wood, 1' thick. Closd. No lock. No handles.
* Kage` pushes on them
<Cameron> ((haha roll a reflex save, fool))
<Cameron> ((We died and went to gygax :P))
<AlcarGM> The budge, a little.
<AlcarGM> (( lol! ))

Quote 9257

<AlcarGM> Yo enter... and see a very large room. Hall, really. Tiled floor, vaulted ceiling, and lots of pedestals. Some with stastues, most of them currently empty. A museum, it seems. The last half is workers, human, constructing more of it.
<AlcarGM> (( a sign up says : "Exhibit 63! On loan from the Unseelie Muesum! The PAST of KAGE the LIVING WEAPON! AS shown By P T Barnum! Exhibit under construction!" ))
* Cameron idly looks at plaques and stuff, saying to Tin, "Don't eat anything."
<Kage`> (H8!)
<AlcarGM> (( :p ))

Quote 9258

<AlcarGM> He looks very, very relieved, putting it back. "Thanks. He's nice and all, but I think he'd be mad if we broke stuff."
<Anelelinde> "Is there anything else?"
<Anelelinde> "Clock radios?"
<AlcarGM> Simon: "oh .... yeah.. and the kitchen...... and the grandfatrher clock thing...."
<Anelelinde> "That one's mechanical.
<AlcarGM> Simon: "Oh! Right."
* Anelelinde checks things, in any event. Sets clocks back.
<AlcarGM> You've finished fixing the clocks when Sophie saunters in the front door, humming to himself.
<Anelelinde> (( place probably reeks of general were + butterfly ))
<Cameron> ((This was all happening in MY HOUSE?!))
<AlcarGM> (( Yup :) ))

Quote 9259

<Cecil`^> "What?" To sara
<AlcarGM> Sara: "Ward. Out of practise, but it should stop some of the spells, if only because it's out of date."
<Cecil`^> "Spells? What are you talking about?"
<AlcarGM> Sara :"People trying to find her. Using magic?" dry;ly
* Cecil`^ shrugs
<Cecil`^> "The GM doesn't seem to realize I have a detect magic attribute, so I just don't notice when anyone's using magic."
<AlcarGM> Sara: "The GM is stupid and probably forgot!"
<Cecil`^> or not
<AlcarGM> :p

Quote 9260

* Cameron sits down in the leather chair that, thank God, has been spared the massacre that is THE PCS. He answers the phone with a curt, "Hello."
<AlcarGM> Voice: "Are you satisified with your life? Don't you think it could be improved if youcould call your loved ones for only 5 cents a minute, with unlimited weekend and evening calls? I know I do! THat's why I switched to Sprint Canada for all my long distance needs. And you can, too! I qill just need ytour dateof birth, Social Insurance number, credit card number and expiry date, city of birth AND your mother's last name."
* Cameron opens a file folder, and gives them Cecil's info.
<Cameron> ((j/k :P))
* Cameron chuckles "Are you human?" suspecting a recording.

Quote 9261

<AlcarGM> Yyou come closer. Thee's some tourists, taking pictures. The usual Japanese ones.
<Cecil`^> "Careful here... These guys are out of place."
* Cecil`^ drives past them to as cose to the indent as he can
<AlcarGM> Sara: "They are? I thought they migrated!"
<Cecil`^> "I meant they are two hours outside of the nearest town in a country ruled by a secret dictator. Not the safest place for tourists, so they're either really dumb, or really brave. Pictures of a mountain aren't that important."
<AlcarGM> Okay. You drive up the mountain to the final parking lot. It's a good 20 minute climb up from there.
<AlcarGM> Sara: "Secret dictator? Is that like a game?"
<Cecil`^> "We'll have to hike it from here."
<Cecil`^> "No, he claims that it's a mass government, where each city has a council of elders that rules that specific city, but it's really just him ruling the country. It's a "secret."
<AlcarGM> Sara nods. "The best secrets can be kept by telling everyone about them."
<AlcarGM> Sara: "it's like aliens!"
<Cecil`^> "Stop it, there are no aliens."

Quote 9262

* Cecil`^ shrugs and leans on a wall
<AlcarGM> You trigger a secret passageway!
<AlcarGM> j/k
<Cecil`^> LOL!
<Cecil`^> that would be so cool

Quote 9263

<Cecil`^> "I came looking for information."
<AlcarGM> "What kind" she snaps.
<Cecil`^> "About dragons."
<AlcarGM> Her: "why? be specific."
<Cecil`^> "Because I am one."
<AlcarGM> Sara: '...."
<Cecil`^> lol
<Cecil`^> Sara voices her silance well
<AlcarGM> The old woman blinks. Blinks again. "What is your name?" slowly
<AlcarGM> Sara: "....!"
<AlcarGM> :p
<Cecil`^> lol

Quote 9264

<AlcarGM> He rubs his eyes, struggling to focus. "Guard the bear. Someone... .sent to steal it. Take it. Break you."
<Kage`> (only bear I know of is hank, right?)
<AlcarGM> (( and the stuffed one you have :) ))
<Kage`> (oh yeah :P)
<Kage`> (I can just see it now, "COme with me if you want to live!")
<AlcarGM> (( :p he meant the stuffed one :p ))
<Kage`> "What are these... magpies?"
<Chaos`^> (( The national bird of mexico ))
<Chaos`^> (( Beware the mexicans! ))

Quote 9265

<AlcarGM> The oracle blinks, confused. "I. Seeking - things. Finding things, but .... with blood, dark magic... alchemy.... shadow things...." his voice is slurred now.
* Kage` pulls a blanket over him
<Kage`> "Get some rest, I'll figure out the rest in due time."
<Kage`> "And hey, thanks kid, you've been a big help."
<AlcarGM> he blinks, and manages to pull a smile from somewher,e but the effort puts him out like a light
* Kage` smiles, and leaves, closing the door silently, its the little things that give us strength

Quote 9266

<AlcarGM> The oracle blinks, confused. "I. Seeking - things. Finding things, but .... with blood, dark magic... alchemy.... shadow things...." his voice is slurred now.
<Chaos`^> He's drunk with power
<AlcarGM> No, somewhat past drained :p
<Chaos`^> what? He's an oracle
<Kage`> he did a lot
<Chaos`^> Where did you find him?
<Kage`> onboard the titanic
<Chaos`^> seriously?

Quote 9267

<Tass> I say we all hijack the amber game
<Rachaellyn> oooooooooooooh to what end?
<Tass> this 'run for the throne' seems to have very little interest anyhow :P
<Tass> I say we get really evil
<Tass> and ENSTATE A REPUBLIC IN AMBER! MUAHAHAHAHA!
<Rachaellyn> hmm
<Rachaellyn> who votes?
<Tass> me :P
<Tass> and, uh, shadows of me
<Rachaellyn> cute :P
* Rachaellyn would like The Throne but isn't really OBSESSED with getting it or anything
<Tass> that last bit was me being cheeky
<Rachaellyn> it would be fun to abuse the power in interesting ways :P

Quote 9268

<alcar> ..
<alcar> London's Sunday Times reports that British police officers have been told that if they shoot suspected suicide bombers they won't face criminal charges even if they kill an innocent persons
<alcar> "The police had been told that they did not have to prove that they had acted reasonably in shooting dead an unarmed person. All they had to show was that they “believed” they were acting reasonably, a much more liberal level of defence," the paper reports.
<alcar> Reasons to play a Call of cthulhu game in london :)

Quote 9269

* Rachael pointpoints
<Rachael> I see the problem!
<Rachael> RPGs are NOT an on-demand ebusiness!

Quote 9270

* Rachael is a her
* Rachael is the one demanding truths, not Fennec
<Rachael> Fennec is curious, but Rachael gets to DEMAND THINGS LOUDLY
<Rachael> which kind of works out well for him :P HEY FENNEC! STOP FREELOADING AND DO YOUR OWN YELLING NOW AND AGAIN!!!!!
<Rachael> I think it is... Fennec outsources his insanity! OMGGLOBALIZATION! EVIL! DIEDIEDIE!
<Rachael> that's why he stays /nick-ed to characters in here, so he can play a little bit of insanity here and there
<Rachael> so Rachael can just DEMAND THAT KENTARI RUN A GAME RIGHT NOW!!!!!! whereas Fennec would be more inclined to just ask and poke... the former is more gratifying :P

Quote 9271

<Tass> I never really -got- jerome
<Tass> what the heck did he do?
<alcar> Stuff ;)
<Tass> I figured that much!
<Tass> getting past that point was confusing
<alcar> Like sensing danger lots.
<Chaos`^> he is a tatoo artist
<alcar> And good at fighting! Though, given Sparkie, you'd never know that.
<Chaos`^> he has a sweet gun at home... he's just practicing right now but he's really good. He'll give you a free tat if you want.
<Chaos`^> I actually had someone tell me that once
<Chaos`^> I was like
<Chaos`^> WTF
<Chaos`^> then I saw him draw
<Chaos`^> and I was like WTF?

Quote 9272

<Tass> yuki needs to get her priorities straight
<Tass> power is all well and good, but power with a price usually drives one's friends off

Quote 9273

<Elana-Silvereye> demons arent half bad XD
<Tass> they are when they make people eat their own fingers :P
<Elana-Silvereye> er well
<alcar> He just wanted to be friends!
<Elana-Silvereye> that was an isolated incide.. ah fuck it, yeah they are REAL bad >_>
<alcar> Everyone is SO judgemental.
<Elana-Silvereye> horrible unredeemable bastions of hate evil death perversion and everything bad, bad BAD
<Elana-Silvereye> buuuuuttt
<Elana-Silvereye> they could be put to good use
<Tass> the ones that have human-esque ideals are fine
<Tass> like those mobster demons
<alcar> Eh, Demons are the same as angels. Demon = pure self serving ; angel = pure altruism.
<Tass> at least you can deal with them!
<alcar> evil and good are..... harder to pin down :p

Quote 9274

<Tass> I'm curious as to how big cecil gets as an alie....Dragon
<Chaos`^> according to Sara? not very
<Tass> well sara could be referencing your potential erection size for all you know :P
<Chaos`^> LoL
* alcar nods :P
<Chaos`^> I'm pretty sure she WAS
<alcar> It IS Sara :p
<Tass> "Eh....I've seen bigger."
<Chaos`^> I think her words were "It's still small."

Quote 9275

<Chaos`^> anyway, alcar, I think that old lady is lieing to me
<alcar> About which in particular? :)
<Chaos`^> I dunno, but her story doesn't add up
<Chaos`^> either i'm missing a piece
<Chaos`^> or she just wants me dead
<alcar> Where do you get that idea from?
<Chaos`^> She's probably going to make me drink some acid and claim it's a memory =p
<Chaos`^> because her doorman fucking tried to kill me!?
<alcar> he had issues :p
<Chaos`^> well, he has more now
<Chaos`^> I don't know what his weapon was that he used
<Chaos`^> but I learned a few sessions ago not to pick up other people's magical weapons =p
<Chaos`^> I bet the irish people they're talking about are leprachauns
<Chaos`^> 'cause aliens don't exist
* Chaos`^ is refusing to let aliens in the game... even if he is one =p

Quote 9276

<Elana-Silvereye> how many points does it take to increase a stat point?
<alcar> 1
<Elana-Silvereye> really?
<Elana-Silvereye> that doesn't seem right
<alcar> 3, then, just for you!
<alcar> :p

Quote 9277

<Elana-Silvereye> is jesus a favored soul? or a cleric?
<Chaos`^> I think Jesus is technically a demi-god
