Funny or interesting IC quotes

[Phalynx]

I don't follow but I am feeling particularly dense this morning!

[SekoETC]

The first character lives in this place but acts as if he's going "home" elsewhere. As it turns out, the player had two characters in the same town and mixed them up.

[Phalynx]

Oh I see..

Ho Ho Ho!

[Zanthos]

Seko, the same kind of thing happened in a town I was in, except the person got wicked angry that someone had attacked them (writing a big message which took up about 10 lines) only to then say that they were sorry because they have 2 characters in the same town. This was followed up by the person saying the exact same angry message with the charie that actually did get attacked..

needless to say, i laughed

1409-7: Willy E. Willis says: "I think I finished yer sledgehammer Mrs. Slayer. I um....I hope ya got it....I....I can't even think well enough to know if I actually handed it over or not....ya'll....ya'll talk a heckuva a lot here. Um...um....I hope I don't gotta talk a whole lot fer ya to notice to pay me fer the work I done. *wink* That'd be two days on the hammer. Could I get some stone? Me an' Gwen is lookin' fer 4000 grams. When ya get a chance just hand it over would ya. I'll prolly work on somekthin' else fer a bit, next couple o' days I reckon. Anyone else lookin' fer work? I ain't afraid o' workin' indoors in peace an' quiet all day, away from lots o' chatter. Can't hardly hear myself think. Did I say that already? Can't recollect what I said or what I ain't -- I'm ramblin' ain't I? Dang it all. I sure do hate doin' that, talkin' fillin' the air full o' words that ain't really got not reason to be spoke out loud in all public. Why me an'Gwen usually try to save most of our conversation fer once we're in the house 'n' all, that way we don't be botherin' folks. Less we get excited and start chasin' each other and pokin' in the ribs, which has happened before...Crap! I'm ramblin' again. Don't mind me. I'll workin' all peacefully and quietly an'what not over here...just...me an' my wife. From Seatown Gardens."

Heyy, it ain't fair posting your own things! Or.... is it? Since in that case I could find a bunch.

[Capt. Mobious]

Why not? I post my own bits from time to time. I just change all the 'You said' lines to the name of the character. Keeps it a bit of a mystery, too, if the others don't know who your character is in that location.

[Nixit]

It was funny at any rate.

1576-3.15: Chill says: "yea i got to say being ....free is nice"

1576-3.15: Mikki Laurance says: "Though, I wish Kraven would keep -his- something indoors too, but that would just mess with his comfort. *she grins*"

1576-3.15: Mikki Laurance says: "*she laughs at Chill* We keep....ah...most things..indoors. *she winks at him*"

1576-3.15: Chill says: "hmmm *laughs* well at least you keep somethings indoors"

1576-3.14: Kraven says: "Leather? Hmmm...I guess we'll be looking for the leather stuff on this trip *he chuckles*"

1576-3.14: Kraven says: "Aww, one time? It won't be public, I would never dream of doing that *he winks*"

1576-3.14: Mikki Laurance says: "Though new clothes doesn't sound like a bad idea...*she grins and leans closer to Kraven, speaking quieter* Make them leather...?"

1576-3.14: Chill says: "modeling eh?"

1576-3.14: Mikki Laurance says: "Ah...*she shakes her head* Now that won't be happening again...That was a one time thing...*she grins*"

1576-3.14: Kraven says: "*he smiles* Oh? Maybe I should make you new clothes so you can model some."

heh heh heh thought this was funny. XD True cantr style...bottom up.

[Capt. Mobious]

I was reading some old posts and came across one about Petunia. Thought I'd share this incident from Shortinazy's ancient history. Edited for clarity and reading pleasure. And it's in non-Cantr order so read top to bottom...

1315-7: You see a mountain goat attack a man in his fourties.

1316-5: You see a man in his fourties skillfully hurt a mountain goat using a bare fist.

1316-6: Petunia says: "Do you gots any ouchies from that mean goat?"

1316-6: Forty-Man says: "Um.....*looks at his arms* OOOOh I got a little cut there.....and there *points*"

1316-6: Petunia says: "You need a hug to make it feel better?"

1316-6: Yan Krasik says: "I dont mean to be wude, but what awe youw names...I dont think we've been intwoduced"

1316-6: Petunia says: "*giggles* I'm Petunia."

1316-6: You see Petunia point at Carlson.

1316-6: Petunia says: "That's Carlson. *gives Carlson a hug*"

1316-6: You see Petunia point at Little Bunny Foo Foo (Blotj).

1316-6: Petunia says: "This is Foo Foo. *gives Foo Foo a hug*"

1316-6: You see Petunia point at Pablo.

1316-6: Petunia says: "And this is Pablo. *gives Pablo a hug*"

1316-6: Petunia says: "*shrugs her shoulders and sighs* I don't know anybody else."

1316-6: Petunia says: "Well, I mean, I know lots of people but they ain't here."

1316-6: Yan Krasik says: "thankyoun vewy much Petunia...and hello to Cawlson, Foo Foo and Pablo...I'm Yan Kwasik - thats Kwasik with a awr, not a doubleyew *smiles*"

1316-6: Petunia says: "*scrunches up her nose and listens hard* Krrrrrasick?"

1316-6: Yan Krasik says: "Thats the one! Only one awr though *chuckles*"

1316-6: Petunia says: "But I like the way it rooooolllls out of yer mouth when you say it the other way."

1316-6: Petunia says: "Oh! *snaps her fingers* And I know that Lady Sister with the silver earrings. I passed her on the road comin' back here."

1316-6: Petunia says: "You know lots of people, Yan?"

1316-6: Petunia says: "*scratches the tip of her nose* You know, you're name sounds like what people say when they're really tired. Are you tired?"

1316-6: Yan Krasik says: "*laughs* Doesn't seem to wooooolll out of my mouth when I say it!"

1316-6: Petunia says: "*nods* Yes, it does. You just gotta tilt yer head just so to hear it. *tilts her head to the side* Like this."

1316-6: Yan Krasik says: "I hawdly know anyone...was bown in the mountains and only just managed to get hewe without stawving. Heh nah that sounds mowe like *forces a yawn*"

1316-6: Petunia says: "Well, I was wonderin'. 'Cause if that was really your name then you'd be saying 'What?' all the time when people got really sleepy and then you'd probably get really mad that people would start conversations and stuff and then always fall asleep on you and never answer you and you'd think they were really mean when *she finally takes a breath* they weren't meaning to be mean they was just sleepy."

1316-7: Yan Krasik says: "*laughs* Yes, I imagine that would be weally quite iwwitating...it's a good thing I'm bwight *taps his temple* othewwise I'd feel weally sad *grins*"

1316-7: Petunia says: "Yeah, that's no fun. Bein' sad and stuff. I like laughin' and playin' games and seein' new people and stuff. You gots food now, yeah? 'Cause I got some I can share. I made a Solemn Vow to help people who need food."

1318-3: Little Bunny Foo Foo (Blotj) says: "All Foo Foo's bits is falling apart... *she looks at her billy club and shrugs* Foo Foo not gonna be needing it for bonking on the head anymores anyways..."

1321-0: Brian Gilbert says: "Thank you, what is your name?"

1321-0: Petunia says: "Me? I'm Petunia Pittersby from Blotj. *points across the water* If you stand on tippy-toes you might be able to see it."

1321-0: Brian Gilbert says: "I traveled from Doryskom. I was somewhere else before that but I don't remember."

1321-0: Petunia says: "Where's Dworkyshum?"

1321-2: Pablo says: "Dory is past many mountains...or through the sea."

1322-5: Golkin says: "Im good. I could be better if I had my sword back."

1322-5: Golkin says: "How have you been Prage?"

1322-5: Captain Prage says: "Arvad, Pablo i see you two here as well... sword? what happened to your sword?"

1322-5: Captain Prage says: "i have been well, ventured through the whole bay as well as to akypor."

1322-5: Captain Prage says: "helped someone evade pirates talked to some lords and ladies in the commonwealth,"

1322-5: Golkin says: "Gave it to Sasha when the pirates had us. After they left took off with it."

1322-5: Captain Prage says: "THE PIRATES WERE HERE?!?!?!?!"

1322-5: Captain Prage says: "that's it i've had enough, i'm changing my businessplan to include an army no dirtydank pirates are gonna pillage my home town!"

1322-5: Petunia says: "You seen REAL pirates? *sits down to listen, wide eyed*"

1322-6: Little Bunny Foo Foo (Blotj) says: "Ooh... Pirates... *Foo Foo sits next to her friend and copies the stare* I wanna hear too?"

1322-6: Little Bunny Foo Foo (Blotj) says: "Whassa Pirate?"

1322-6: Petunia says: "*scratches her nose* Well, the way I sees it there's two types of pirates. Honorbul and not. The Honorbul are usually lookin' for treasure but they don't hurts people unless they gots to. The Not kind just kill people and take their stuff. But it's pretty hard to find Honorbul kinds around here. They usually end up hurtin' somebody. I like to think of 'em having a secret bay or cove where they stash stuff and talk funny and practice sword play stuff. They usually say things like 'Grrrr. Me mates and I want a diamond sword. Who there has one? Grrrrr. Now there's a saucy wench! Gimme a kiss!' That kind of stuff."

Subject: First encounter with people of another island, Olipifirovash 1549.
Reading: Bottoms up as usual.
Reason: I figured it was pretty funny, at least for me. But maybe I'm only amusing myself.

1549-1: Kais says: "*she giggles and leans against Pharap. She waves
at the odd man and grins*"
1549-1: You say: "Must be some local greeting, *he mutters under his
breath, trying to keep up an unconcerned smile but still he wraps his
arm around Kais's shoulders in protective manner.* Rawk rawk to you too,
mistah! *grins*"
1549-1: Rark says: "*looks sideways at the funny people* Rark?"
1549-1: Kais says to you: "*she pouts slightly* Well what fun is
going around seeing new places if you can't get things from them....?"
1549-1: Kais says: "*she blinks and looks at the man* What...?"
1549-1: You say to Kais: "Aww, I know it's tough. Not something you'd
learn in one night. Ya need to be patient. Now you should've said you
want to learn, I'd forgotten all about it. We'll have good time here
now, waiting for trades since they don't allow non-citizens to gather
resources."
1549-1: You see Rark drop some clay.
1549-1: Rark says: "Rark!"
1549-1: Kais says to you: "I think we still gotta work on my
reading...*she frowns* It's harder than I thought it would be..."
1549-1: Kais says: "*she leans close to Pharap and whispers*"
1549-1: Kais says: "*she giggles and waves* Hello Giordan."
1549-1: You say: "I want you to meet Giordan, he's a really nice kid.
Oh, sorry, heheh, he doesn't like pointing. *He pats the man on the
shoulder, smiling a bit sheepishly.*"
1549-1: You point at Giordan.
1549-1: You say: "Heyy hunny! *He waddles over to Kais with a bright
grin on his face and gives her a big hug.* So nice you'd wake up."
1549-1: Kais says: "*she smiles brightly and waves* I'm Kais!"
1549-1: You see Kais entering Olipifirovash, coming from Coaster
harbour.
1549-1: You give 800 grams of hemp cloth to Giordan.
1549-1: You enter Olipifirovash, where you see 22 people, leaving
Coaster harbour.
1549-1: You enter Coaster harbour, where you see 0 people, leaving
Jahkan.
1549-1: You drop 1773 grams of soda.
1549-1: You drop 2800 grams of sand.
1549-1: You say: "Oh, they don't allow gathering resources there,
only trading. And the senator is mute. Heh, a weird town alright. But I
met this nice kid called Giordan, that's who I'm trading with."
1549-1: You say: "Ha, lookie that! I stay an hour at the shore and
already getting a trade done. Things are going just great."
1549-1: You drop 1502 grams of stone.
1549-1: You drop 1043 grams of limestone.
1549-1: You take 800 grams of hemp cloth.
1549-1: You enter Jahkan, where you see 1 people, leaving Coaster
harbour.
1549-1: You enter Coaster harbour, where you see 0 people, leaving
the central area of Olipifirovash.
1549-1: Giordan says to you: "Sir, I must sleep, now. You can give me
the cloth at your leisure. There is njo hurry. I will be awake at about
4.00. *smiles* I'm sure others will awaken before then. "
1549-1: Giordan gives you 1502 grams of stone.
1549-1: Giordan gives you 1043 grams of limestone.
1549-1: You say to Giordan: "Aww, but yer such a nice kid, tell ya
what, I'll give ya 800 grams for those. That'll make you a full suit.
Whaddaya say?"
1549-1: Giordan says to you: "I really don't have a lot, Sir, but I
do have 1043 grams of limestone, and 1502 grams of stone. I've mostly
been collecting sugar for a man who wanted it badly. "
1549-1: You say to Giordan: "You're a nice kid, I think I like you.
Would ya fancy buying some hemp cloth, to make you some proper garbs? I
got some on da boat, pretty much of it, actually."
1549-1: You ate 7 grams of your cooked meat.
1549-1: You ate all your cheese.
1549-1: Giordan says: "*writes on the stone tablet*Senator Howto,
this is Pharap Jahrot, newly arrived in Olipifirovash. *smiles*"
1549-0: Giordan says to you: "I'm sorry, I don't like to point, but I
will get the Senator's attention for you. *smiles*"
1549-0: You say to Giordan: "Ah, so that's what it's for! Hmm, makes
sense. *He nods approvingly, but then his face puckers a bit.* Exept
that.. I don't have any coal at hand... might have some on the ship.
Could'cha point out this Senator to me? I might as well scribble him a
note."
1549-0: Giordan says to you: "*smiles* I am gathering it for a
friend. I understand it aids in digestion an healing of wounds. There is a
stone tablet. It migt help to introduce yourself by writing something
simple on it with coal. One of our senators is deaf, and uses that to
communicate. *smiles* "
1549-0: You say: "Giordan, eh? Nice to meet ya. And you're a citizen
here, I suppose, with that... stuff you're gathering. *He stares at the
sugar curiously.* What a strange place you live in!"
1549-0: Giordan says: "Nello, Mr. Jahrot. I am Giordan. It is a
pleasure to meet you. "
1549-0: You say: "Wow, is that a lake? Or another part of the sea?
...How curious. *He wanders over to where the notes are posted.* Hmm...
Ol-ip-i-firovash. Strange name you got here. And no resource gathering?
Well, I sure hope I got something of interest for trading. Pharap
Jahrot is muh name, at ya service. *He bows to the general direction of the
nearest people.*"

I gotta say, Seko, that killed my eyes trying to read it. Had to quit halfway
Old man eyes at 17, maybe.

This thread just seems to prove to me how wildy different people's sense of humour is....
