The Chevel is not a muscle car.&#8221;<br>&#8220;It&#8217;s not looking for muscle.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Okay, he goes to his apartment and gets a ball of duct tape. You go to your house and get &#8211; &#8220;<br>&#8220;Easter supplies.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Okay\u2026 And you two start at your house and\u2026?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I kinda want to keep an eye on him while we&#8217;re violating dimensional barriers. In case he vanishes again.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I forgot he was along.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Yeah. So we don&#8217;t have to break, just enter.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not gonna lie. This game? I just say stuff and wait for y&#8217;all to do stuff.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t feel like there&#8217;s a door here. But you also don&#8217;t feel like there&#8217;s not a door there. It&#8217;s a kind of Schroedinger&#8217;s door.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not his birthday.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Is it his birthday? He got ice cream. And glitter.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to reach through time and open the door when it was here.&#8221;<br>&#8220;What are you going to use to open the door?&#8221;<br>&#8220;I have a welding torch.&#8221;<br>&#8220;I have bubble bath.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Don&#8217;t be ridiculous &#8211; I&#8217;m going to use ESP.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Apparently our characters aren&#8217;t as serious as I am. &#8216;Bzzt. Ooh, okay, still have all the fingers.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You think eating churros prepares you for this?&#8221;<br>&#8220;\u2026Yeah.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It soothes the way a mortar ball soothes the firing pin.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He didn&#8217;t have to look in other dimensions to find the bathroom.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not that late in the year.&#8221;<br>&#8220;It&#8217;s Argentinian Thanksgiving?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Can I ask why you&#8217;re in my freezer?&#8221;<br>&#8220;Why are you in an extradimensional garage-basement?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Everything around Roger&#8217;s dad kind of shivers and wavers, and not in the summer funtime way.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t have to kill his dad; we just have to de-possess him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Look, I came into this room by going into the past, and that&#8217;s where my initiative is.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It could be Aln.&#8221;<br>&#8220;That&#8217;s not a &#8211; well, he is from another dimension.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You can either remove three boxes of peas, or two bags of ice.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Hmm.&#8221;<br>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t realize this was going to be a kind of Sophie&#8217;s choice.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And what you could see before kind of peels himself out like he&#8217;s peeling off an Allan cocoon\u2026?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I saw that coming.&#8221;<br>&#8220;The terminology or the cocoon?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And another &#8216;nope&#8217; is born.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Rarely has anyone been this prepared to throw a turkey.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No, &#8217;cause the next thing I&#8217;m gonna do is bust out the ukulele. I just had to get rid of the turkey first.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Noah? Welcome to the floor.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Lethal blow on a punch is a lot of punch. It&#8217;s like lethal blow on a turkey.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A solo ukulele rendition of &#8216;Final Countdown.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Rick had a plan\u2026 sometimes.&#8221;<br>&#8220;But I never paid attention to Rick; he babbled.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My initiative is a long way into the future-past.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Do you have accuracy: bag of peas?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Look, every once in a while as a GM, you have to open the door to player&#8217;s side and ask what the point was.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;So this bizarre concoction of vegetables and gasoline spreads within it\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The subdermal peas &#8211; &#8220;<br>&#8220;The subdermal fire-peas.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Look, I said it was an idea. I didn&#8217;t say it was a good idea or a bad idea.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d like to remind you of something.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Remind me.&#8221;<br>&#8220;There&#8217;s a chain attached to the lid that is currently wrapped around the monster.&#8221;<br>&#8220;That doesn&#8217;t affect my plans at all.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You can feel the freezer getting warm. Is it a good thing? Is it a bad thing?&#8221;<br>&#8220;I&#8217;m between good things.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;How else do you fight the darkness?&#8221;<br>&#8220;Magic missile.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Napalm peas.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Final Countdown&#8217; on ukulele? That&#8217;s nobody&#8217;s kind of music.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The freezer is hot. The freezer is in fact uncomfortably hot. It&#8217;s hotter than napalm in a freezer hot.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;ll burn itself out.&#8221;<br>&#8220;Eventually?&#8221;<br>&#8220;It&#8217;s burning a whole other dimension. It&#8217;ll burn out eventually.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Is it going to burn out like napalm in a freezer, or is it going to burn out like a coal mine fire?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Of course, now I&#8217;m looking at that pint bottle stuck in his mouth, and I&#8217;m thinking, &#8216;I&#8217;m gonna drink from that later.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Was that weirder than I expected?
