A pre-dinner gathering

Quotes from the cocktail party in the library just before the big family dinner the day most royals returned to Amber.

 

Benedict is a caring father, isn't he?
GM: Scenes the GMs do not want to write: Benedict takes Lilly to the Mall of Amberica to buy a prom dress.


On the definition of luck
Kris: True, let's face it. Jerod's chances of getting lucky in the same sense Paige means it are about as likely as finding a dry copy of the Amber Crier in Rebma...

Blake:*LOL*...I suspect Paige has an overly inflated sense of the importance of screwing family members...in that regard, Jerod willingly cedes the title of "Luckiest in the Family" to her...:)


Elder sisters are not that easy to have around
Cambina's eyes roll mildly from left to right and she has managed to be where no one but Jerod can see her face. "And did you *learn* anything useful in the process or am I on my own in that department again?"


Don't try to match your wits against Vere's
Aisling smiles gamely, turning away from the bar so she can keep half an eye on the room and talk to him face-to-face. "I must admit, I am admirably situated at the moment, for the topic of interest to me is that which is immediately before me, namely, yourself." She tilts her head slightly, giving him her receptive attention.

Vere raises an eyebrow slightly. "Not a topic that I would have thought overly interesting," he observes, "but then I may be jaded through over-familiarity with the subject."


He's not that experienced
Bleys: I don't believe I've ever seen a Pattern cracked quite that way before. Of course, since I've never seen a cracked Pattern at all, that's not surprising."


Rikibeth comments on a misprint
Olof: Ossian laughs (not very loud) at Random's comment, and furrows his brow when seeing Llewella's condition. Other that that, no reaction.

Llewella's, or Vialle's? Yes, they're both Rebman, but it ought to be pretty easy to tell them apart. Llewella's the one with bobbed green hair wearing the 1920s-style dress. Vialle's the blind brunette in the white dress next to the king.


Paige when meeting Corwin for the first time.
"Uncle, I've longed to thank you for years, but never had the chance." She kisses Corwin softly on the cheek, and introduces herself. "I'm Paige."


The GMs should know Lucas by now
Jeremy: Does Lucas take a smoke?

Do you need to ask? That's like asking if Corwin gets laid. Or Julian uses lame pick-up lines. "Amusing witticism" indeed.


On titles
Karen: So, it seems that Random has not yet really taken to being called "Your Majesty."

But what if we started referring to him and Vialle as "Ma and Pa Jesty?"


Lay of Brennan?
Folly:"Forgive me," she says with an embarrassed little smile. "Parts of your story just call out for a song, y'know? But then the song hears the call and comes running before I'm quite ready for it. Damn things have no party manners at all."

Brennan:"That'd have to a reasonably long song, I think."


On Jerod's choice of women
Random?:"I don't recall Jerod being so interested in violet women before the war..."

Bleys takes a long drag from his cigarette and replies "perhaps he knew her when she wasn't so violet."


Missing brothers
Lucas, to Random: "I imagine I could say a good many things about Eric being dead, but not here. Do you miss your brother?"

GM Michael:[OOC: "I did, but my bowstring was wet, so I have an excuse."]


Most guys would probably not agree with Conner
Paige: "It's good to see more of you, Uncle Caine."

Those of you reading Conner's mind hear, "As Caine has already seen more of you, I assume he is glad to see less."


On the use of Brand
Cambina : "In a way, it's a shame he is gone. Who is there now to terrify the family into unity?"


Jerod tries to learn from a master
"Why thank you Uncle." Jerod replies with a polite smile. "And I've heard so much about you and your activities...prior to the Regency. I've always wanted to ask you how you managed to keep so many fingers in so many pies."
