Title: Best Quote Usage ...
Post by: musashi on December 03, 2008, 04:27:26 PM
I'm just curious ... has anyone managed to use a quote from a movie or book in the game and have it be totally in context for the situation? I've never quite managed to pull it off myself.

Also, an old Salarri favorite:

A striped sand-raptor opens the door from the other side.

Significantly, the stubbly Kuraci says, "They can open doors."

One that made me laugh was from DieHard4.

(After some scary magick was let loose)

"Krath-kissed balls man! Did you see that!?!"

"(annoyed) Did I see it? Of course I saw it I did it!

Many years ago upon seeing a certain noblewoman sitting in the same tavern that had an IC post about her death:

"It seems rumors of her death have been greatly exaggerated".

More recently after purchasing a rug that matched the room decor quite nicely:

"This rug really ties the room together".

Moving closer and grasping the hilt of ~sword, the greasy-haired, mustashed man says to the figure in a black half-mask in sirihish:

"You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you."

I can't remember who said this one in a conversation with one of my characters a few years ago when talking about Luir's but it was something like this:

"You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Except for maybe Allanak."

Bumping into another clan out in the desert

'Where you going?'
me, currenly wearing some warpaint on the face: 'To pick a fight'
'Suppose we didn't get dressed up for nothing'
Thank you pc#2!


Walking into a room with a raptor while hunting

a raptor arrives from the north.
a raptor arrives from the south.
In a whisper, you say: 'Clever girl'

I'm -pretty- sure I said "Sirihish, motherfucker! Do you speak it?!" with my last character on more than one occasion.


Editted to add: Usually I quote songs, if anything. I know I've thrown some Rush in there every now and then.

A guy says to you, in sirihish:

You stand up from a bench.

>A dopey confused quirk twitching up on his face as he looks around
the sandy wastes, the green-eyed Bynner asks, in sirihish,
'"Why are we here?"

>In a gruff tone, his obsidian dagger pointing toward a pile of canine bones
while he rummages through a dead Runner's pack, the moribund Byn Sergeant
says, in sirihish,
"Because we're here. Roll the bones."
