I&#8217;m not a monster!&#8221;<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, we&#8217;re about 37 minutes from my burning the manor to the ground, so y&#8217;all might want to get on that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was the accent that really made that work. I mean, you say &#8216;drawing penises&#8217; in a normal voice, and it doesn&#8217;t work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think there&#8217;s a conversation at the other end of the table that I&#8217;m not participating in.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I think there&#8217;s a conversation being had at Pete, but Pete is not participating in it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think we established at the end of last session that I&#8217;m the backup plan.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s right. You&#8217;re the only thing keeping us from a TPK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You deal with the rats, I&#8217;ll deal with the voice?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;ll deal with this IV.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then let&#8217;s try to poke it without falling into the circle that we&#8217;ve been warned is dangerous.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;No, I warned *her.*&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can I borrow a pencil?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Nah. I got the bag out just to torment you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We all know what happens when you stare at things consistently: you end up a million years in the past and die before we all meet you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What kind of human was it?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I think this horn means it was a male!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nigh invulnerable, like the Tick.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fill it with holes instead of me.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;That was the plan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is aiming a thing?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;&#8230;Yes.  It&#8217;s generally considered that your characters are aiming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m feeling pretty good about my hospital bed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, you see through the hole that the heiress is covered in gore.  The butler is going to be upset with you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Uh. Which direction did you push it?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Backwards.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Towards me, you motherfucker.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Better than eels.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Sort of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And you can have my jacket.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I will probably need more than just a jacket, you motherfucker.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we had to put a digit on it, it would be single?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes. Possibly a singular digit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Having re-re-re-re-disposed of the monster&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you going with the &#8216;ambulance&#8217; or the &#8216;fire truck&#8217;?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can we make sure that we thoroughly douse the cabinet that&#8217;s bigger in the inside?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you guys say you burned it down, salted the earth, ripped the planet in half&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;And peed on it.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Then I want to make sure I get the color of the pee right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve made it to day three without addressing that Mr. Lin is going to die of dehydration.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;No, I&#8217;m attending to it.  I haven&#8217;t forgotten.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve got good news and bad news about this.  While *we* know that we&#8217;ve destroyed her mind&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;*We* don&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re split into kind of a nice three-way.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;What?!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From the guy that is not an asshole.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;That we are aware of.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;So far.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it is time to untie him.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Not necessary.  The ropes are sliced through.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You cannot find his head.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s unfortunate, but an acceptable loss.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re only burning this place down from the second floor up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, the Wong Pu river now has some little bits of rope and some really nice towels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;That I&#8217;m pretty sure someone took a taste of.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes, I did.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yeah, that was soylent blue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Does it say anything about tasting it?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;No. It figures if you need a snack, you&#8217;re going to go down to the kitchen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was the point.  It says the blood of the innocent &#8211; I&#8217;m trying to figure out how much blood we need.&#8221; *pause* &#8220;&#8230;That did not come out the way I intended.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were more likely to burn his fingertips off than cut his hands off&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wait, how do I have a higher mythos than you?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I died.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Did we figure out how much blood?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;And how innocent?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since I am not a cultist, my blood would suffice.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Well, since I can&#8217;t chant, I&#8217;m happy to donate my blood.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So the scale has gone from &#8216;not a cultist&#8217; to somewhere between &#8216;virgin&#8217; and &#8216;Frenchman.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Strange cat and children.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Ah.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I think &#8216;strange captive children&#8217; was better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is there anybody in this party that has 0 Cthulhu Mythos?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think draining it into a bag makes it innocent again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s plastic and it&#8217;s not biodegradable, but it&#8217;s not evil!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She doesn&#8217;t translate exactly what you say.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes, because otherwise the party would have been chased out of China.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How much does a street urchin cost?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;They&#8217;re filled with Mythos.  And lice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not willing to go that far.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t willing to cut off hands&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can dance if you want to.  But your friends will leave you behind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like we&#8217;re going to have to do with magic like the A-Team had to do with B.A&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I like that we&#8217;re specializing in the good kind of arson.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have to go on vacation.
