Game 6: The Theory of Evolution
Dallas: I am going to learn how to be a Viking scold! No, no, I am going to be a Skald! A Scold mean that there will be hot water... Maybe it's a Get initiation thing. Like, "Prove how tough you are."
Sammi explains to Connie that a Strider's life is one long torment, and they attract the dispossessed.
Connie: But why???
OOC Dallas: Ever think that maybe they follow the ANGST?
The Ragabash attempts to convince Connie that being a Strider is a GOOD thing.
Allan (GM Jo): ...and you can run really fast!
Connie: Have seen me try to walk. Even slowly?
Allan (GM Jo): I thought that you were just really nervous...
Connie: No, that was normal.
Allan (GM Jo): Oh...
Dallas: Carve runes into my arm?! Fuckin' cool!!!!!!
Phil (GM Jo): And you can make deals with spirits!!
Geena: What... like a loan or something?
Phil (GM Jo): Well, sort of...
Phil (the Bonegnawer) explains the evolution of the Garou (all in one breath):
Phil (GM Jo): And so the rest of the Garou, right, they just kinda kept doing what they were doing. And, like, the world changed and stuff, and there started being cities, right? But the other tribes, they just got left behind. Except for the Glasswalkers, they're alright. But not as cool as us. 'Cos the Bonegnawers, right, we just evolved, like, along with people and stuff. So, instead of hanging out and wishing things were, like, the way they used to be, we evolved to deal with them. So, like, we hang out in the cities, and can, like, stop the Wyrm where it lives. 'Cos we're, like, with the poorest people, and can look after them and stuff. 'Cos we're more evolved. See?
Connie is faced with a black spectre in the umbra.
Connie: Is that a ghost?
Sammi: A wraith.
Connie: Cool. Uncool! That is not cool at all!
Geena: So people we know could be Wyrms?
Dallas: Well, yeah...
Geena: I reckon my sister is one of them then.
Dallas: So when we get home, can you girls braid my hair? I so want Viking braids!!
Chuck: Braids? Dude!
Dallas: VIKING braids, dude!!!!!!
Game 7: Release your Unbridled Passion
Dallas: Rock on! (With appropriate gestures)OOC Dallas (as Phil): No "sign of the devil" at the moot, dude.
After Falcon's Judgement makes it clear that no one, particularly Bonegnawers, really count as part of the Sept:
Geena: I want to ritually unbond his clothes!!!!!!
Dallas: You can do that???
Geena: I will FIND a way!!!!!
Dallas (to Chuck): Hamlet got less airtime in his play than the recital of your linage, Dude!!!!
As the group is exposed to an extremely bad Silverfang story of the Caern's history:
Dallas (whispered): Does she do this drivel every time?
Phil (GM Jo) whispered: Yes... And it gets worse!!
Dallas and Chuck: Aww, shit!
Guiding Light (GM Jo) in a monotone: It's the Passion within the Sept....
Peanut Gallery snarfs!!!!!!
Guiding Light (GM Jo) still in a monotone: And now... I will ask all of you... to go forth and release your unbridled... passion.
Connie: Oh my god! He is a fanatic! A boring fanatic! I am SO not inspired!
Guiding Light (GM Jo) in a monotone as usual: This time... perhaps some of you could control your unbridled... passion a little more than... last moot.
Connie: Control our unbridled passion???? Isn't that an oxymoron?
Chuck: He is a moron!
Connie: Heh! Didn't they say we shouldn't dis our elders?
Chuck: Oh yeah... Heh! Heh!
Guiding Light (GM Jo): ...and I shall lead the revel as "Wyrmbane" and you must chase me through the woods as we clear it from those that threaten Gaia...
Dallas and Chuck: Cool!!!
Dallas: Dude? What happens if we catch him???
Pack of Bone Gnawers chortle quietly.
Imagine for a moment, a rank 4 pompous Silverfang Sept Alpha, being chased down and bowled over by a Silverfang cub and a Get cub that got carried away with the idea of "chasing"....
Game 8: Pure Breed vs Hybrid Vigour
GM Jo: Flynn starts heading towards you.Dallas: Grrrrrrr!
GM Jo: Do you really?
Dallas: Hell, no!!!
Geena: Oh! Where is my guitar? Oooh, that's right. I smashed it up. Oh. I'll be depressed now.
And when your character isn't as educated as you are...
OOC Geena: What do you call algae if you're not a biologist?
OOC Connie: Pondweed?
Dallas: In lupe it's cool.
Dallas tries to talk to Forest.
Dallas: You found us! Like, no one can find us. Except Sammi. Cause we're invisible or something. And I'll shut up now.
Dallas (with eyes closed): Why did I say that?
Fighting lessons with Forest.
Dallas: I don't think I can hit a girl.
Chuck: I don't think you can hit her anyway.
Dallas: You go first!
Chuck: Alright, I will!
Dallas: Go and jump her then...
Dallas: I understand the concept of "dodge", but only pussies dodge. Up until now.
Dallas: Flynn. Sir. Dude. Rhya.
Dallas: I will hunt mightily! (To Chuck) You will hunt with great legal bearing!
Chuck: Minion! Fetch me some food!
Dallas: Mimes eating food, trotting over to Chuck and regurgitating it.
Chuck: Yumm.
GM Jo: After a lot of searching you find Connie's scent.
Geena: Oh! I found it! Oh! I howl and let the others know!
Geena (howling): I-found-it-ooowoowooowooo!
Chuck snarfs Coke.
Dallas: People could hear that in Nebraska! ... Where's Nebraska?
Geena: Catchup, smatchup. My hybrid vigour will keep me going until you drop!
Garou aerobics = Garoubics?
Game 9: Visiting the Umbra
Dallas: I don't have 'hate' written on my knuckles anymore.Connie: You can write it on again when we get back.
Dallas: But how can I intimidate Chameleon?
Connie: I don't think Chameleons can read, dude.
Geena feeds Unicorn an apple core.
OOC Dallas: You lose a thumb.
OOC Geena: I can heal myself. Please excuse me while I faint.
Geena hugs Unicorn in a moment of joy.
OOC Dallas: It freaks out and tramples you to death.
OOC Dallas: You have a +1 Unicorn of Protection!
OOC Chuck: You have to somehow attach it.
OOC Geena: I find a belt or sash!
Dallas learns how to speak to animals, and realises he's a predator.
Dallas: I am going to feel so guilty after this.
Connie: Just don't talk to them, and don't learn their names, and it'll be alright.
Chameleon (GM Jo): See how my colours change?
Connie: Yeah! That is so totally... gradual!
Game 10: Dude-rhya!
Geena: Can you tell us a little about the Rite of Passage?Dallas: As forewarned is forearmed.
OOC Geena: Isn't that a Metis trait?
Dallas: I know what we have to do. You have never been on a mission.
Geena: When have you ever been on a mission???
Geena: We need a wiffy stick!
GM Jo: A what?
Geena: A wiffy stick is a bendy stick.
Dallas: We could cut one each!
Geena: What about when we turn into wolves?
Chuck: We could carry it in our mouths!
Geena: There is no way I am carrying a stick in my mouth in the forest. I'll kill myself.
Chuck: Oh, yeah. Scenes rarely seen in nature.
Geena braids Dallas' hair.
Geena: Tell us the litany.
OOC Chuck: Well, don't root your...
OOC Dallas: It's the Clff's Notes of the litany!
Forest (GM Jo): If you survive this, I would be happy to answer any questions.
Connie: I ask lots of questions. My teachers at school said I asked too many.
Forest (GM Jo): There is no such thing as a stupid question.
Connie: I tried that line once and I got detention.
On spotting Flynn.
Dallas: Dude rhya!
Flynn (GM Jo): That works.
Dallas: I glass Chuck, and while he's screaming in pain...
Chuck: Screaming in pain? I have resist pain!
