Did it make her young again' date=' and she's aging at the usual rate, or did it make her age backward?[/quote'] She's aging backwards. Which is helpful in the sense that when she looked older, she was able to lay the groundwork for an ID that says she's 16 and an emancipated minor, but that won't hold up much longer. One of the ongoing subplots is an attempt to find a cure for her before it's too late. Basically, when she was about the age she looks now, she cast a spell to look older so she could go clubbing, etc. Rather than getting the illusion she wanted, though, she accidentally aged herself. When the duration ran out and she did not revert, she panicked and tried several counterspells in rapid succession. What she wound up with was a tangled mess that was de-aging her. So far nobody's been able to unravel it and there's a concern tampering will make it worse. There's also a concern that when she hits the age she was when she first cast the spell, Something Bad could happen. She is an excelent object lession in Why We Don't Tamper With Universal Forces Without a Very Good Reason. She likes to gripe about how frustrating it was to go through the changes of puberty backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talia: You just killed that...man...thing...whatever it was! Kaiba: Yeah, well...he had it coming! Talia: Oh really? Why's that? Kaiba: Well, after all that progress I was doing to get us out of here was unmade, he beamed in and said 'I could've told you that would happen.' Talia: And that's why you chopped him in half!? Kaiba: NO!! That would be irrational! I was pissed, true enough. And I said in an angry voice 'oh thank you so much!' It's what he said afterward that pushed me over the edge! Talia: And he said... Kaiba: YOU'RE WELCOME!!! Talia: And that's why...you chopped his head off?

Playing in a Urban fantasy style game, the PC Nicolas Cross had manuevered the evil leader of a group of misguided creatures (with declarations in an open forum of the need for a council, the calling into question of the authenticity of his power base, and with confronting him with a person that he had cursed in a flagrant abuse of his power) into a trial by combat against another PC, Carl, whom happened to be of the same race as the other creatures. After the evil leader was dispatched and talk of a council was bandied about by the other creatures, Cross says this: "Great Carl! After all this you are a shoe-in to be my mouth piec...ahem ahem.

World of Warcraft, we were on Teamspeak, a program which lets us speak to each other while playing. It was a slow night on Teamspeak, fairly quiet, and one of the guys kept trying to get the convesration going by making jokes, but getting mostly silence. Finally in exasperation he said "This sucks. Nobody's laughing at my funny jokes." I responded "Now, when have we ever not laughed at one of your funny jokes?" Basil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're playing a varient of the "Virtual Ice" adventure presented in Heroic Adventures, Volume One and the players' characters have just been introduced to what is essentially "City of Heroes" in the game universe. Player 1: Okay, OOG (Out of Game) so why did we just make characters for this minigame again? Me: It's the on-line character your character will be playing while you're trying to figure out what The Bandits are up to with this ripping off the virtual museum every night. Player 1: So I have to play this on-line character as if my character were playing it, right? Me: Exactly. Player 1: This is going to be so confusing... Me: Well, look on the bright side -- at least I didn't put in an arcade like Grand Theft Auto San Andreas... Player 2: (To Player 1) Yeah, 'cause I'm willing to bet your on-line character would just suck at Ms. Pac Man. Player 1: (To Me) All right, now I want that arcade to be there so I can kick his (Player 2's) butt! Player 2: (Obviously not paying attention) What? Player 1: That's right, I'm going to kick your butt at Ms. Pac Man! Player 2: Okay, now you've lost me -- which level of reality are we talking about again -- real life, the game universe or the virtual reality in the game universe? Me: He wants to kick your butt on Ms. Pac Man in an arcade in the virtual reality in the game universe. Player 2: They have arcades in this thing, too?

The cast consists of: Zindika, who is an insect shamen The Mighty Golias, who is basically a pint-sized Hercules Polymer, who has stretching powers Force Majure, who is basically Ultra-Boy *Zindika arrives* Golias (OOC): With your dashiki and little hat. Force (OOC): What? He's Marion Barry? Zindika (OOC): Well, without the drug addiction and 100 lbs. lighter. Force (OOC): Golias has no Secret ID does he? Golias (OOC): Oh, hell no! Zindika: Hello, I am Zindika. (Repeated over and over) Force: You can surrender now or we're gonna have Golias talk you to death. Force: Maybe if we punch (the supervillain) to the outside (of the building), we can claim they came in this way? (Force's plan on how to explain all the property damage.) Reaction to hearing Polymer's SFX for his entangle: "I bukkake for justice!" (Please don't ask what bukkake is....)
