Quotes from various parts of the multiverse during the time for the transportation of the Amber army back to Amber.
On ethics:
Jerod's expression as he accepts the deck would seem to
indicate that he wouldn't mind if they *all* just up and vanished.
But he accepts the deck and promises to return it (cleaned,
pressed and fumigated).
Karen: *Fumigated*? Just where does he plan on carrying it? ;p
GM (Ginger): Blake, have you been talking to the Chaossiders
again?
Blake: Moi? Speaking out of turn and in secret to glean
restricted information from those who are not involved with my
character? I am shocked that one of such distinguished character
(in addition to being incredibly perceptive, charming and
intelligent in a non-threatening and gentle way) as our esteemed
GM could even consider that this humble player would do anything
as criminal and deviant as this. I can only conclude this message
comes from an intruder masquerading as the GM who aims to cause
dissension amongst the players and wounds me most grievously with
their spurious accusations.
I have no doubt that this imposter will be dealt with
expeditiously by our gracious and omnipotent GM and return order
to the list without delay.
Reid was expecting more
When Martin Trumps Corwin and Merlin through
"You drag me half way to Chaos to bring back an army, and
THIS is all you have to show me? Some army!" He breaks into
a wide grin before deciding on formal protocol... "Pleased
to meet you, gentlemen." He extends his hand to each in
turn, elder first.
Folly has a whole binder full of Trumps
of her male cousins
Karen: Perhaps if Jerod *really* wants a Trump deck
without paying a point for it, he should try being little and
cute and mostly harmless. It seems to be working for Folly....
Noticing the silliness
Mark: Jovian notices and evidently approves on multiple
levels. It would, in truth, be moderately difficult not to notice
him noticing.
Madeline: Aisling notices Jovian noticing, and looks leery and
uncomfortable for a bare moment until she willfully ceases to
notice
Mark: Jovian notices her noticing him noticing, and in a brave
effort to keep the thread from further recursion he ceases to
notice as well.
Madeline: So it's time for the punchline?
"We're a noticeable family..
Corwin summarises (At Ygg)
You all know about Caine, right? Not actually dead? good.
Oh, and two of your cousins are missing from the march back
In Amber Vere tries to persuade his
father
"And how d'ye think ye'll be working on a cure if ye
havena taken the Pattern yet?" Gerard asks, frustrated that
Vere didn't take the bait.
Vere tilts his head to the side and regards his father with a
serious expression. "You shall shift Shadow while I push
you," he says.
A half hole?
Brennan: And so, with a sincere and deadpan drawl honed
razor sharp by centuries of experience, he stage-muses so Martin
can hear, "Wouldn't two behalfs make a bewhole?"
Reid: "It's been my experience that anyone who works on two
or more behalfs is usually an a-hole, actually." Reid sees
your sarcasm and raises.
Aisling, when Folly gives her food
Aisling looks amused. She can't help it, her thoughts run,
<<"And what did you do today, Folly?" "I
went down to the park and fed bits of bread to the Chaosites!"
With her and Ce'e running around at Folly's feet making "wonk"
noises
This started serious
Rikibeth: Solange likewise concentrates on Random's card.
GM (Michael):"Random's Head. Random speaking. Who's there?"
Rikibeth: Solange *barely* suppresses the urge to say, "It's
the plumber. I've come to fix the sink," and instead says,...
GM: "Murphburble."
"Who?"
"Electroencephalacandygram!"
"No, really, who's there?"
"Brainshark."
"Oh, sure. C'mon in..."
Caine steps through, half-naked, with a
bleeding, nakedAdonis in his arms. What is a major concern?
Paige: "Are there more wounded such as this? Some
late engagement?"
"That's a good question," says Caine, "And one I
would like answered. Along
with a number of others. Where are we? And can I get a shirt?"
Adonis to Folly.
"Names are important, lady. Tell me, would it be
Folly for me to Love you? Or would you Love to be my Folly?"
Adonis' wry smile conveys there's more to this than a mere play
on words. His tone is inviting and kindly.
Benedict does not like kids
"There are many reasons I have stayed away from my
father's realm of Amber, not least of which involved you. But
most of those objections were personal and many of them have
resolved. I understand that there are even more cousins of yours
in Amber and the start of a new generation, which is a situation
that I find gravely disturbing.
Breek, the LFG (Little Furry Guy) is
cool, and Brennan is a God?
(Breek is given a sword)
"I am the very servant of the Gods, " he says. "Who
shall I kill for you with this gift, Oh Lord God Brennan?"
Now we know
Tara: Is there anything Paige *isn't* smitten by?
>
Kris: In a word?
Hmm....
Jerod.
Karen: Picking up on a post from the Log, might I suggest that
the appropriate short phrase for Jerod might therefore be 'Not
Cuddly'?
What to say when your mum doesn't appove
Flora: "Solace seems a bit of a dishrag, dear, but
her manners are good. Whatever possessed you to marry her?"
Lucas:"Circumstances."
Notice that this didn't involve any
eybrows
Julian: "But hard words among kin are the meat and
drink of our family discourse. Learning which hard words merely
seek chinks in armor and which are truly threats is a necessary
trait for survival."
Vere knows Jerod well
"Thank you, Cousin," Vere replies. "How
does the Return proceed? Have you met any relatives you trust
less than Ossian?"
