| Is he related to you? I've noticed everyone annoying is related to you.
| |
| | |
| So you are saying that we are left with the horrible choice of either allowing the New Martians to invade or damaging art?
| |
| | |
| Alice, how do you say "princess" in Martian?
| |
| | |
| It's a combination of the words ruler, beauty, and danger.
| |
| | |
| Danger is only in there as a side effect! It's a corruption!
| |
| | |
| Yes, it's a suffix. But, nevertheless, it is there.
| |
| | |
| How did he recognize you?
| |
| | |
| He's a peasant. She's a princess.
| |
| | |
| Or she can just deprive it of oxygen
| |
| | |
| That was my plan yes

| No.

| S never lets me get into her head
| |
| | |
| A, I let you into my head all the time. And they you get it into trouble | |
| | |
| I just want to see what's inside
| |
| | |
| Five martian crystals on an island full of new martian technology. There's no way this can possibly go wrong.

| I did notice all of that, too. You're a better me than me!
| |
| | |
| It realy disappoints me that lies work better than truths...
| |
| | |
| Didn't we scream that at him at some point?
| |
| | |
| Still a lie

| Your rationalization is at Godlike
| |
| | |
| So the thing that resonates with sopghronia is resonance
| |
| | |
| Amgelina is the least noble nobel other than you
| |
| | |
| Other than YOU
| |
| | |
| Oh that's right I'm noble, I keep forgetting that
| |
| | |
| I wonder why
| |
| | |
| We have left rather a trail of bodies behind us
| |
| | |
| Only... ONly... all right, we did leave quite a few, but the only one who was human was human was Murray
| |
| | |
| I don't think Murray is dead
| |
| | |
| Well, we know you can survive falling off an island
| |
| | |
| So, if you want to take over his mind and adujust
| |
| | |
| Oh please, that's boring. Also unethical
| |
| | |
| Also, my job
| |
| | |
| Yes, still unethical
| |
| | |
| No need to be redundant
| |
| | |
| So your idea that he had a nervous breakdown? It's true
| |
| | |
| I'm Psychic!
| |
| | |
| Right. Don't tell people the truth anymore. It doesn't work
| |
| | |
| A Clumsy Con performed at Mundane +3ish | |
| | |
| Why is lying more efective than the truth
| |
| | |
| because people want the world to be a better place than it is
| |
| | |
| This may not be the berst example
| |
| | |
| Do we have a better example?

| Oh don't be ridiculous, G. Of course we knew it was you
| |

| |

| Yes I am

| Leveling up means losing a bunch of NPCs

| |
| | |
| Love Sophronia
| |
| | |
| | |
| Subtext: Dear father, we are back in England, did some cool things, thank you for looking after TALOS, love Sohphonisa
| |
| | |
| We're really bad at communicating
| |
| | |
| Just like a regular daughter and father
| |
| | |
| Trans: BNe proud of me be proud of me be proud of me
| |
| | |
| Curled up invisible on shelf
| |
| | |
| Are you trying to listen too?
| |
| | |
| I don't see any reason to. Oh wait, truth is found in the shadows, dammit. And also curious about curiosities
| |
| | |
| And also we're just bad people
| |
| | |
| And I fully expect you to be
| |
| | |
| The first thing you need to know is that if you decide to exectue me, there will be witnesses. However, they won't all be sympathetic witnesses, so that won't do me any good.
| |
| | |
| Even q victoria makes a royal procession, Reginald!
| |
| | |
| I suppose I will have to take him as he is
| |
| | |
| Oh dear I really am the PH. At least I amn in love with a brazen lass.
| |
| | |
| We will be sure to do that!
| |
| | |
| I'm not invincible
| |
| | |
| Yes Alice, you're not invuln either
| |
| | |
| I'm in your heds listening to your conversations
| |
| | |
| He never did _propose_...
| |
| | |
| Is that a thing I can do?
| |
| | |
| Let's assume it is. Will you?
| |
| | |
| I think it would look imporper if I didn't at this stage? Oh god alice.
| |
| ...
| |
| | |
| Let me rephrase. Do you _want_ to marry me?
| |
| | |
| That is a dif questions
| |
| | |
| Yes, yes it is.
| |
| | |
| But really do you think any priest is going to conesnt to marry a human man to a clockwork faerie
| |
| | |
| Yes
| |
| | |
| So you're going to talk at someone until he agrees
| |
| | |
| And at some point, I am going to have to tell my father
| |
| | |
| I am going to have to tell my father
| |
| | |
| But you know all our wedcding are going to be disasterours aqnd i don't want two monstrous things to trample all over everything at once....

| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| | |
| Dear Sophronia,

| Talos
| |
| | |
| We have to get back to London Right Now!
| |
| | |
| We'll take the train.
| |
| | |
| The Train is Slow!
| |
| | |
| It'll give her time to calm down.
| |
| | |
| W@hy does she to be calm.

| Okay, it can't be that hard to find a giant freaking robot
| |
| | |
| Youd be surprised
| |
| | |
| I believe my friends may have learned how to use sarcasm
| |
| | |
| I don't know what you mean. I am completely calm and rational on this matter
| |
| | |
| your tailor is talking to victor re coat apparently he is trying to get it tailored after all

So now _you_ get to take your lover's attacks.
This I'm used to. (requesting scorpions)
I would prefer the two of you to have your fights out of the public eye.
Consequence: I Hate My Friends
Aspect: Vase of Ashes
Aspect: Flying Ghul Mummies!
How quickly can you collapse the temple?
Not as quickly as she can.
Mummies remain mummified even when they are immobilized.
But they were only my illusion, Victor! It was obvious.
Noxious substances in one's pocket
Oh that did happen! Well, now we're even. So, what are we going to do about those mummies.
Why would you want to hyp Victor?
When he becomes a power hungry meglamanical
how could you tell thedifferntce
he becomes slightly less annoying
he stops sayin should and starts saying shall
Sounds wet
Alice, can we put some kind of lock on victor's mind?
How about we put a lock on the door instead?
So I'm protecting him body and mind
I feel so manly
What, hiding under Alice's skirts?
Hey, they are very strong skirts.
Yes, they are.
So Victor has too many bas right now? I've lost track of how many bas he has. You're not making a very good sheep.
Aspect: Alice's Eyes Are Closed
Aspect: Giant Mf'g Snake In My Mf'g Temple
I'm ure that if you rubbed martain against my scales you cd build up a lovely static charge
we'll call that plan b
I'm never goingto get the stain out of these gloves
Just put it down
Statueof liberty
Do you think Khentykawes might be angry with us?
If you want to be Absolutely Safe, just kill Victor
And burn my heart
And burn his heart
Mind I don't endorse this plan
While Victor has the most atrocious history possible, I'm afraid we're just going to take him as he is.
And anyway myfather isn't atrocious in the slightest and that's all my history -- unless you count all of faerie.
I wonder if that could be your other parent -- did we ever find out who that was.
NO.
All right then.
Why not? All right I admit having a bunch of power hungry maniacs coming after me for my heart because they think it will resurrect a dead dark queen who will reward would be mildly inconvenient, but other than that I dont see the problem
Really victor, we scheduled Thursdays for that sort of thing. I Really don't want to take another day out of my schedule for that.
All right. First ordr of business: I need to get a new coat
I don't think you'll find one in the middle of the desert
Besides we have to fly to new york
SO we do
I can't believe that I'm suggesting the sensible course of action
Catch prhases a la DERPG
Can new martians disguise themselves as humans or faeries
We've never seen a new martian
One is probably a member of the ker club
We're seen what they claim they look like
If there's another one of these buried under ny... we need to good to ny
You mean before manhattan is excavatd
it sounds dirty
you live in london
it's completely different -- its filled with English
Oh for an american, lincoln is quite deboinnaire
No, he is a rather interesting specifimen even for an american
To be fair she said nothing about the babenga. they do not live in ny, taht I know of
Let's start with the Lip
Hey! The lip is very refined
I like the lip!
And his associates --
Some of them are very refined.
Is this the 1st time you've been outside of eng and france?
We went to ireland
So you did. Is this the first time you've been more than 500 miles outside of eng?
Bathing sounds terribly wet
no, I oil myself. It's not the same thing at all
If you pick up oil it's wet
No, it's oily
Two pieces of metal in oil rub against each other smoothly. 2 pces in water don't. Trust me on this. And metal covered in oil doesn't rust.
We are disccusing oil
And watter and slipperyness
So. We were going to fly an island!
To NY!
