About the Cyborg Ninja Hookers: there are worse things that the unfortunate
victims-to-be could be turned into -- like something similar to the femme
fatale from the Species films.
Now there's a scary thought.

WAY out of character:
"Making that noise while shooting me doesn't make you any more mysterious!"
Talking about one of the GM's characters from a different game of ours (who might or might not hunger for human flesh):
GM: "Just because I'm drawing my inspiration from Venom doesn't make me an anti-hero."
We finally got back to the game. Dreadnought was knocked WELL into GM option land at the end of last session during a "fight" with Holocaust and Gravitar, and was getting a recap of what he missed when he woke up.
Tome: "Grav got a new girlfriend, holocaust got throw through a building and stormed off."
Me: "Wait, so Grav and Gravitar... am I being punk'd?"
Ronin: (reformed Japanese villain) oO(I don't fully trust any army that counts suicide bombers among them. A more dishonorable form of warfare was never invented.)
From a more-fun-than-expected post apocalyptic Devil May Cry style campaign:
“What’s the difference between a Quasit and an Imp?”
Kallthor the Demonologist (upon miserably failing his second KS: Demons roll of the night): Uh, um, Quasits… are crunchier… and Imps like to hide their valuables in unsuspecting travelers’ rectums.
Diego: *sigh* Everyone go check your rectums while Kallthor cracks open a grimoire.
Nash: This guy’s not fooling anyone. We all know his real name's John.
"What goes around comes around. Sometimes you get what's coming around. And sometimes you are what's coming around." -Jim Butcher
From our Teens Game, Mellisa Eilberg (The Night, Classic Detective Vigilante):
"During the memorial service, I hide in the ceiling of the auditorium. I expect trouble, mostly because this is the memorial service of a girl who we have learned had her soul screwed up during an attempted resurrection and turned into a swamp-muck-monster-thing, and she's probably going to be kind of annoyed about the fact that there's a memorial when no one even knows who murdered her."
"I use my linegun to grab the laser-shooting microphone before it shoots someone who can't use magical healing powers on themselves. Like, say, me, or even a cheerleader."
"We need more clues about what the Buzzard wants. I don't mean we need to know exactly who. I mean, a manifesto. A note. Some carrion. SOMETHING. He just shows up, shoots someone randomly, and teleports away. He doesn't even monologue. I'm going to have to try to get there before he teleports, and engage him in dialogue. He'll have no choice but to rant about his plan."
OOC comment: "You have immense psychic power. She's a weird alien. She's a powerful sorceress. He's encased in some kind of technology that gives him massive strength. He 'wields the power of the stars', which means as far as I can tell, he flies and shoots lasers. I... have a stun blaster, martial arts with no damage classes, and I figure things out. You'll excuse me if I feel slightly inadequate in comparison in combat. Out of combat, I can track down the bad guys, but I designed my character to deal with mostly normal-scale people. You deal with the ubervillian, I'll deal with his mooks, we'll all be fine."

Somedays you say to yourself "I really should have bought 'usable by others' on that Healing power."
From my City On The Edge campaign
Trawler: "I've been blobbed and had my ramen wiped out by a spaceship, and you're asking me if I believe in magic?"
-----
Ms Chaos: "That's it! I'm moving to a city where crimes aren't committed by toys."
-----
Trawler: "You wreck one little building and you can never live it down..."
-----
Zero (Drhoz, OOC): "Spam! Spam! He's our ham!"
-----
And after Zero had been informed of the Modus Operandi of the criminals they were tracking down (Modified versions of the "Terror Bears").
Zero: Is there any provision for anual leave in this team?
Ms Chaos: No. I already checked.
-----
Avatar (Fireleaper): "Would you care if I said "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards?"
Terminus (Sundog): "No."
It's Weldûn, but a lot of bulletin boards either reject it, or convert it to Weldun. So here we are.

I owe rep to: jkwleisemann (Here), Ian Mackinder (Here).
We had an interesting DnD game:
Gargolye walks up to a bartender "I'll have a scotch, on the rocks."
PC: "A zombie makes a reflex save!? what kind of screwed up world is this!?"
....pooo!....
Session 7 of Vendetta Rhapsody:
GM: Does anyone have Paramedics? Above an 8-?
Mike: We don't heal damage, we inflict it!
Blitzkrieg calls Koyotie "dog-lady" one too many times. Mike had told the GM two weeks ago if he did that again, Koyotie was going to hit him. Hard.
Mike rolls 13d6 for Koyotie: 61 STUN (doubled to 122 due to being out of combat), 17 BODY, 7" of Knockback.
After Blitzkrieg wakes up: "Anyone get the name of that truck?"
Full Metal Jacket: That truck's name was Koyotie, and I suggest you don't forget it. Piece of advice son; don't piss the lady off."
Explaining why things are slightly different from the real world in the game:
GM: "[This] is the movie version of St. Louis."
Koyotie in SID is talking to Erica Chase, her reporter friend, about covering an ICOMP bust of a smuggling attempt coming up the river. Said reporter wants the two of them "embedded" with the ICOMP squad.
Mary Tower (a.k.a. Koyotie): "Do you want to be in the middle of Bagdad on a bridge of the Mississippi?"
