Game 1: Getting to know you...
OOC Connie: Yeah, but their parents are CRUEL! Mine are just mean.OOC Dallas: If she's Constance, maybe her sister is variable?
GM Jo: Why do you want a fetish?
OOC Dallas: Because Chuck doesn't have one!
GM Jo: That's not a reason!
OOC Dallas: It IS a reason! It's just not a very good one!
Dallas: I wear Docs.
Chuck: How can you afford Docs?
Dallas: I stole them.
Chuck: Okay.
Chuck: I'm into alternative music.
OOC Dallas: What, Enya?
GM Jo: Are you zoning or are you roleplaying?
OOC Geena: I'm roleplaying zoning.
Chuck: I sit back, thinking...
OOC Dallas: ...they want my kidneys!
Dallas: Do you want to make sure she [Geena] doesn't run in front of traffic, and I'll help Chuck.
Dallas: I hang back because, you know, a nihilistic skate-punk is not a comforting presence.
Dallas: Does this have implied tones of bad ass to a 16 year old nihilistic skate guy?
Naming the Bone Gnawer Lupus:
Connie: How about 'Rex'? That means King.
BGL: Woof!
Geena: Yeah! That suits him!
BGL looks smug.
Game 2: The First Change is the hardest.
Geena: Maybe he belongs to a rich person.Connie: Nah, he can't. He isn't pure bred.
Geena: Well, he's real smart. Maybe he belongs to a blind person.
On finding the dog's owner:
Geena: But she doesn't look blind...
Dallas: My grandparents, yeah, well, I guess they're dead. On my dad's side, my grandmother died before I was born, and, my grandad's in the cemetary.
(Designing a background on the fly!)
Dallas: Punk-gimp, cripple-wank!
(Inventive cursing!)
Connie: You're gonna have a cadillac!
Geena: Yeah! An open-topped one!
Dallas: JFK style!
Dallas: Specialised training dude!
Chuck: Yeah...*disbelieving look*...I've got one more point of intelligence than you.
OOC Dallas: Now I'M starting to ask questions. It took me a little longer, but I've got one less point of intelligence than you.
Dallas: Hey, I'm not the one who drank the spiked coke. Soon as you keel over, I'm outta here!
Dallas: Man, this is going from spies to medical experiments real fast!
Dallas: I got bitten by a strange dog at the trailer park once. Have you ever been bitten?
Chuck: I don't know... I might have!
Chuck: Hey, my granddad always had dogs at his place! Maybe they were wolves!
Dallas: How much money did he leave us?
Chuck: $600!
Dallas: Wow! We could catch a taxi to school!
Chuck: We could catch a limo to school!
Chuck: Do we have a computer?
Lawrence (GM Jo): Yes. With full internet connection and so forth.
Chuck: Dude!
Dallas: Porn! I mean... Dude!
Flynn (GM Jo): Imagine a great army where everyone kicks ass.
Dallas: Yeah?
Flynn (GM Jo): Well, who does the organising, who are the teachers...
Dallas: Ninjas!
Flynn (GM Jo): Dallas, you're a Galliard.
Dallas: I've never looked at another man!
Flynn goes Crinos...
OOC Dallas: Hang on, I have to put the silverware away!
Chuck: What the fuck was that!
Flynn (GM Jo): What did it look like?
Dallas: It looked like a werewolf, man!
Flynn (GM Jo): Where do you think the legends came from?
Dallas: Racoons?
Flynn (GM Jo): You've got to WANT to change.
Dallas: What are we, social workers?
Flynn goes Glabro...
Dallas (whispered): Dude, it's your last girlfriend!
Chuck (whispered): Dude, I haven't had a girlfriend!
Cherie (GM Jo): We're family.
OOC Dallas: In that 'mutating monster' kind of way.
Game 3: Not so much a wolf as a werewolf.
Chuck shifts to Crinos and accidently breaks the door.Dallas: Are we under attack?
Chuck: No...
Dallas: Then what broke?
Chuck: ...Nuthin'...
Dallas: Come on, man! With great power comes great responsibility...
Chuck: Don't go quoting Marvel at me!
Geena wakes up in the forest...
Geena: Where am I? Why am I here? Oh, thats right... I'm a freak...
Rexx (the Lupus Bone Gnawer) uses charades to "speak" to Geena:
Geena: What am I doing? I'm talking to a dog!!
Geena: I don't get you...
Geena's player is notorious for not being able to understand miming.
OOC Dallas: Does she get extra XP for working out the mime?
OOC Geena: Come on! Actually, I believe the correct response is "Fuck you".
Dallas gets Geena's attention...
Dallas: And... Chuck is gay!
Geena: He's what?!
Geena: Chuck has an inheritance?
OOC Chuck: He did have...
Geena: You know, like, they are just trying to lull you into a false sense of security before the white slavers come.
Chuck: We can go to our place!
Dallas: Do they allow dogs in there?
Chuck: I'm sure they've had dogs in there before...
Connie: We should go to class...
Geena: ...Class...
Chuck: Hey! I am ALL class!
Chuck: Hey! Ix nay on the Arou gay!
Chuck: I'll give him some caffiene to calm him down!
GM Jo: Rexx falls into step beside you.
OOC Geena: What is he? Caine?!
Dallas: I make an effort to be cool and casual.
Geena: Do you still have "hate" stencilled across your knuckles?
Chuck: Everybody follow me!
Dallas works out that Rexx is Garou.
Dallas: Ha! I totally knew it! Are you Garou too?
OOC Chuck: Are you actually gonna say that?
OOC Dallas: He's a dog! Who's he gonna tell?
Dallas: You've known her for not even a week - I've known her forever! So I have seniority!
During the "discussion" with Rexx:
Dallas: Geena doesn't know she's a Garou? And you want me to tell her? Man! I'm not gonna do it. But I know someone who will!
Dallas (yelling): Chuck!
Dallas: You can talk to Geena, and I'll talk to Connie.
Chuck: Okay...
OOC Dallas: You can talk to Geena because she's played by your significant other, so you can manipulate her better.
OOC Dallas: Connie, can you please stop scribbling quotes and roleplay with me!
Describing Rexx:
Chuck: Well, he's not so much a dog as a wolf... And not so much a wolf as a werewolf...
Chuck: And,like, we're werewolves, and, like, we fight this enemy called the Wyrm, and... Well, I don't know much about it, but we're really tough and stuff...
Chuck: The wolf form is really cool, and you can... smell things.
Chuck: *points at various wolf posters* Dallas is mostly like that one... And I'm mostly like that one. Except more white. And without the rainbow.
Geena: So... Um... Like...
Lawrence (GM Jo): I take it that you've met 'Comes for Food'.
Dallas: Sounds like a porn name, dude...
Game 4: Bone Gnawer Explanations.
Dallas: Hey! We have Pure Breed 5 between us!Chuck: Yeah! We have the same as him!
Geena: I don't think Pure Breed stacks, guys.
Dallas: Hey! I unleash 5000 years of Viking whoop-ass on them.
OOC Dallas: Dallas has a cunning plan.
OOC Chuck: That makes me nervous.
OOC Dallas: Fuck you.
Connie: Dude, he hasn't got thumbs!
Geena: Like, your mother is so, like... Betty Crocker!
Lawrence (GM Jo): Now, what exactly have you found out about yourselves?
OOC Dallas: ...I am a Buddhist...
Lawrence (GM Jo): Charles, as a Philodox, you must be able to recite the Litany by heart.
Chuck: Is it very long?
Lawrence (GM Jo): Obviously, Dallas, if you're going to mate with a wolf, then you would do it in wolf form.
Geena (quietly): It's still illegal...
Discussing the Wyrm...
Connie: What does it look like?
Lawrence (GM Jo): The Wyrm has many faces.
Connie: It should be easy to spot, then...
Dallas: Yeah!
After finding out the job description of a Philodox:
Dallas: Dude! We come with our own lawyer!
Lawrence (Dm Jo): You shalt not eat the flesh of humans.
Connie: Ewwwww!
Dallas: Who would want to?!
Chuck: That's so Hannibal Lector, man!
Chuck: What's the Veil?
Dallas (confidently): Arabs wear them.
Chuck: Fuck off! I am so dextrous!
Dallas: If you feel like flipping out and killing anyone - don't.
Chuck starts to get a little annoyed...
GM Jo: Roll your Rage.
Geena: No, it's alright.
Peanut Gallery: Huh?
Geena: I've got a can of soda! *mimes shaking it*
Chuck: I calm right down.
Geena: Man! Now I've got a can of shaken-up soda.
Dallas: How is that supposed to help calm him down?
Geena: Well, you spray water on fighting dogs!
Chuck is a little shaky...
Chuck: I push the buttons for floors 12 through 17.
GM Jo: She decides to introduce herself... After I check her details...
Dallas: Does she give her rank?
GM Jo: No.
Chuck: It's fairly obvious that she outranks us, dude.
On seeing "the twins" for the first time:
Geena: I lean over to Chuck and ask, "Who are they?"
Chuck: They're twins.
Geena: I lean over to Dallas and ask, "Who are they?"
GM Jo: Lawrence: The Grinding.
The Bone Gnawer Theurge at work...
Phil (GM Jo): Alright, so, it's so cool. You do your ritual, and the whole point is that it, like, gets Gaia's attention, right? And then, when you've got Gaia's attention, you say the prayer. It's like, "Hey Gaia, now that I have your attention... Check out these clothes!" See?
Phil (GM Jo): No, of course Gaia wants to talk to you! She made you a Theurge! If she didn't want to talk to you, she would have made you something boring - like a Galliard or an Ahroun, or something!
GM Jo: You can see Rexx's tail wagging.
Chuck: That means he's happy, dude.
Dallas: Thanks.
Geena performs her first rite.
Geena: Stand here. Don't move.
Dallas: What happens if I move?
Geena: I don't know... Maybe something eats you!
OOC Connie: Does laundering destroy the dedicatedness of dedicated clothes?
OOC Connie: I'm madly cribbling scroats.... (so I get a little confused at times...)
Game 5: Welcome to the Family.
Connie: It's Forest! I remember her from my traumatic time last night!
GM Jo: I notice it didn't take you (the players of 16 year old Dallas and Chuck) long to get into character!
OOC Dallas: Our bodies grew up but our minds never did!
OOC Chuck: I like small boys! (Or, possibly, OOC Dallas masquerading as Chuck.)
Discussing the uptightness of the local Silverfangs...
Phil (GM Jo): Chuck doesn't count. He hasn't been tainted by them yet.
On finding out that Forest the mega-babe is a Philodox:
Dallas: Oh darn! She'll know it's against the litany!
Geena (quietly): They are SO immature, they are only 16!
Connie: They're boys, they can't help it.
Phil (GM Jo): ..... and then talk to some Spirits!!
Geena: Did he say spirits???
Connie: Uh-huh!
Geena: Like ghosts?
Connie: I don't know....
Chuck: Spirits! Like alcohol!!!
Standing on the edge of the Bawn watching Phil in animated conversation with Lawrence...
Dallas, Chuck, Connie and Geena (in unison): Can't touch this!
(Followed by much "Hammer Time" dancing.)
Phil (GM Jo) excitedly: It's a Caern of Peace and Calm!!!!
OOC Geena: You don't come here often, do you?
OOC Geena: Geena is in touch with her theurgiological origins!
Things not to say when patting a lupe...
Geena: Wow! He is so soft! Man he would make a great... Doesn't matter.
The girls prepare to change to Glabro.
Connie: You ready?
Geena: Uh-huh...
Connie and Geena: One, two, three, Huah! (accompanied with swinging arm actions as they "propel" themselves into Glabro)
GM Jo, Dallas and Chuck snarf and completely lose it.
Geena approaches Forest in lupus form.
Geena: What does she smell like?
DM Jo: Well....
OOC Dallas: Marijuana!!!!!
Dallas: I am a lupine bulldozer!!!!!
Connie: .... I am the lupine equivalent of a giraffe...
Guiding Light (GM Jo): Both David and myself are Athro...
Dallas, Chuck, Connie and Geena: Note to self, ask later.
OOC Geena: Athro... Is like an African American afro???
Guiding Light (GM Jo): ...and if you survive your rite of passage...
After the Sept Alpha left:
Geena: Did he say Survive???
Connie: !!!!
Dallas: He did say it, didn't he... And in three days!
