Snorted an old man. No uniform, just a flannel shirt tucked into a worn pair of work pants. No badge, but he cradled an old Mossberg shotgun like a lover, his calloused wrinkled fingers clearly very familiar with the ancient firearm. "Super-cops. Bah, rubbish." He hawked and spit into the rubble, his careworn face staring towards the barricade, eyes narrowed. * "They're people." He insisted, disdaining any attempt to introduce himself or join the police's little clubhouse meeting. "Just people, with a job to do." His head swiveled, flicking his gaze over the assembled officers. "Like you guys. Just with more gumption and less jawing." He chuckled dryly. "Look at us sitting here, taking on an army with popguns and chewing gum -- you can ask my wife when its all over who the real heroes are, and she'll tell you." He lifted the shotgun and rested it on the barricade, settling the butt into his shoulder. "It's us." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... An injured and unconscious Jama wakes up in Nathan Carpenter's arms after the Paladin has used his power to heal her. Jama *kisses Carpenter*: "I love you." Carpenter: "I know." Did I mention Carpenter is married? Later, Nestor and I blue-booked the conversation the two had over this incident. Here's the speech that made most of us go "wow." "I... I don't know," Jama replied, still looking at her plate. "I mean... you’re married, with a beautiful wife and children, and... and I'm just a foolish little girl." Carpenter watched silently as Jama touched the tips of her index fingers together and then spun them around each other, a sure sign of nervousness in the young sorceress. "And then to blurt that out... The rest of the Squad must have heard, what do they think?" "Do you care what they think?" Carpenter shook his head. "Never mind." Carpenter stood and walked around the table to where Jama sat. He squatted down to put his head at her level and gently grasped her hands in his. "Jama, we've shared a lot in the time we've been in 9th Squad. Pains, joys, triumphs, and defeats. We've stood together against trials beyond what any human could fear to face. We've grown together to trust and depend on each other. It is the strength of that bond that will help us carry through to what we will have to face in the days ahead." "The word 'love' falls short of describing the connection we have, but it's not surprising that it would be the one you'd find. In that sense, I love you too, in my heart and soul." "But don't confuse all the nuances and contexts that the word carries. The love I have for Elaine has shades and meanings that are different from the one I profess now to you. The parts of my soul that I have shared with her may not be the same as the ones I may share with you, but they're still a part of me. I... I don't have the words to express that in any more intelligible way; it's just something you can only feel." "The one thing I don't want you to do is feel guilty for feeling this way. We all have our failings of spirit... and flesh." Carpenter paused, hesitant. "You are a beautiful woman, Jama. You have a strength of will that shines in you like a sun. The fact that the love we share cannot express itself in a certain way does not make it less worthy. The day will come when you will look in someone's eyes and see that special part of your soul reflected in his eyes, just as I did with Elaine. And I pray that in that moment you will feel the joy you so rightfully deserve." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Later in the same blue-book session, Jama gives this speech on the importance of Paladin Nathan Carpenter to the team: "We were all stupid." Now it was Jama's turn to sigh. "Carpenter... Nathan, you do need to talk to him. Before he becomes like Brogan, who seems to be seeking death. Right now the Lieutenant is so consumed with guilt I think he's forgotten who he is and what he needs to do. I think he feels his family will never forgive him, but if he dies... if he kills himself trying to stop Hart and the rest, how will he ever know if they do?" Standing, Jama stepped around the table and placed her small brown hands on Carpenter's much larger, rougher ones. "Nathan, I think you are the soul of the 9th Squad. You have a purity within you that allows you to look at another and not judge them, but advise them, encourage them, allow them to see they are needed and who needs them. I.... No, we all follow the Lieutenant not only because he is our commander, but I know that he will see victory done, even if it costs him his life to save ours. But I will follow your leadership as well, for you look out for all of us, and will see all of us home safe and sound when the battle is over." She paused and looked almost guilty at her speech, then took a breath and continued. "Tyger cannot speak to him, he doesn't know what to say. Brogan feels he is dead already. Yiska... Yiska has his own mission. But you, you are a husband and a father, and almost lost your daughter to the enemy. So know you must speak to the Lieu... to Hemelshot, as one who has seen what he has seen. Bring him home safe, Nathan, so he may lead us to victory." Carpenter smiled sadly and placed one of his hands on top of hers, pressing gently. "I will, Jama. As God is my witness, I will do everything I can. And if He is willing, I'll bring back Brogan too."

Remjin Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Well, we'd post more quotes from our last game, but most of it could have offended someone pretty badly or it was censored out. While certainly they were all interesting and extremely funny comments (we're still in the comedy aspect right now), they were just INMA (InterNet Mature Audiences) and thus unfit for posting here. =) Sorry Kirby, but it was for the best.

ghost-angel Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Here's the only one I remember from our last Champions game: DEMON has returned to the game world, and we're there for the big announcement and recruitment drive. As we're fighting The Left Hand (big naked dark angel) moves in to strike at Enigma (only mostly naked tattooed runecaster). *looks him up and down* "Must be cold in here." He proceeded to punch her, to little effect, "You hit like a girl." So he blasted her with hellfire, that knocked her out.

Kirby Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Sorry Kirby' date=' but it was for the best.[/quote'] On a slightly more serious note, I would rather have a pause in quotes rather than "your reminds me of a story. Let me tell you what happened." Then, adding anime on top of that, just ruins it for me. You'll just have to pardon me when I'm grumpy with thread derails. I'll get better. Though, I will admit I happened to like Ranma 1/2; primarily the first season. The second season was the "over the top campy" that I don't care for. It jumped the shark. I still have a five or so of the books, though. I'll need to sell them on eBay sometime. On to quotes: Again from League of Champions (over on HeroCentral). Gigaton is tasked with eliminating the PC team. He missed (by one hex) his intended target, but was using his 14d6 explosion, so the target still felt it. Two hexes away from the epicenter of the blast was Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard: oO(Ow ow ow! That HURT! And that was a near miss by the lacky! And he wasn't even aiming AT ME!) Field Test: (Flying in the air) "Hey! Tall, dark, and explosive! Let's see how you like this!" [Hits a 4 DCV] OOC: Hmm... apparently he likes it just fine.
