During a serious Genengineer discussion...
Maris: "It took a lot of mustaches, but I got it done."
Esperanza: "I think you should write that down."

Maintenance worker: "Okay guys, we've got a big job to do, and it's a big doo job. We have got to get in there and sort this s*** out. It's a crappy job, but we cannot lose our s*** in there. (Because it needs to get put in the chutes.) You do not want to see what the overflow on this would look like if things got backed up. We gotta clear those pipes so we can clear our own pipes, if you know what I mean."
(The poop jokes continue for at least half an hour straight.)

During the wedding, as it was being attacked, Papa Glenn plugs some poor cast member thrice in the chest, calling "Pierce, Pierce, I grant you a quickdeath, you are not disturbing this wedding".

Nicely done, sir... nicely done.

During a conversation between Starter, Jake, Trystran and Fawkes, Starter asked if Fawkes had any side-effects of his cybernetic implant.

Fawkes: "Well, occasionally I get flashes of what others tell me is color."

Starter: "Interesting..."

Fawke: "It's terrifying!"

Starter smiles, "Become a Child; Fear the rainbow!"

Just having been privy to that poop-puntastic-conversation made me feel better about being flushed from the mod queue to deal with other colonial duties. ;D I was SO SAD that Morgan White was not there for that.

Some of the funniest moments were at the bar or in relation to drinking but this was probably my favorite.

Around the end of the shift, Dr. Quinton is sitting at the bar. Ali settles in for a drink.
Ali to Eliza: *raises eyebrow* "Are you getting the Med Tech drunk?!"
Eliza: "Apparently." *Dr. Q leans in looking hilariously plastered*
Ali: "It's about time. High five!" *Ali and Eliza high five as Dr. Q stumbles over an unintelligible response*

The contents of the conversation are better told in-game (or at least in person) but Billy's words to me on Sunday morning before heading into the elevator...ugh. Took my heart out, stomped on it, and then handed me a shiny new one. Actual IG/OOG tears were welling up from a one minute conversation. I'm not sure if anyone was even there for that but man, what an intense RP moment!

During the War-Be-Que, Cape Ninja's trying to do a radio broadcast of the whole thing.

CN: "So, Yoshi. What do you call the dish you're preparing?"
Yoshi: "Steamed vegetables."
CN: "Cast Iron King, same question. What's the dish you're making called?"
CIK: *gives him this WTF do you think it is? look* "....Food."
Grinner: "HE'S FROM CORE. It's "Who cares, it's food! It's not people!"

(From the other room)
Shadowlord: "Send us your strongest warrior!"
Nolan looks around. Swear softly under his breath. "Okay, just a minute!"
(A minute or so of reloading and prep.)
Nolan: "Okay guys, I guarantee this is going to be stupid."
Nolan promptly leaps into the room, in Doc Chambers style pose.

I think the best part about that whole mod (shadow lords) was when steph says

"Lets not lose our S***" then screams
Shlea out of pure reaction bloody murder screams

after we get out of there liam says "your scream echoed up the elevator shaft"
"i know liam, the S*** got real"

"Hey Maris, you want a Gengi-Bred man? See, he's all Red just like you!"
-Said while handing the Bug-man a red-sprinkle coated gingerbread man.

There were lots of other moments too, but I think that was my personal best one-liner for the weekend.

Julia as her poet during the Talent Show:

"My eyes met yours and you Tampered with my emotions. My heart said... Target Acquired."

I voted for Julia based solely on that line.

Josh:
You missed the first part of that conversation, I think. We were talking about "ginger-neers" who want to turn everyone into freckled redheads. Then the red gingerbread cookie came up, and Maris was behind us, and the jokes started making themselves.

I really wish I had direct quotes for you.

Well, you know that it must have been the Ginger-neers who created the Red Death.

Slanderous lies!!!! Hahaha!

What I remember best is Maris's reaction: "I'd stab you, but that was too hilarious."

Testing a theory on this one:

"I'm Ms. Ranchenko, formerly of Ms. Ranchenko's Boar Farm."

You all heard it like I did, didn't you? Thought so. Seriously, no matter how many times she said it, it just stayed hilarious because of the broken record delivery.

Me: Franco, you know that little girl Luddite from has a little girl crush on you right?
Franco: No she doesn't.
Me: Franco, she gave you cookies.
Franco: She was just being nice.
Me: Franco she gave you cookies that she made herself.
Franco: She was just being nice and thanking me. Lots of people do that.
Me: Franco, she GAVE you cookies with a cloth that she made herself.
Franco: She's made cloth for a lot of other things. She's just being nice.

Eventually it took the entire table agreeing with me for Franco to be convinced the little girl had a crush on him and I'm not sure he ever really got the signifigance of receiving hand made cookies.

Hah! That last one brings back happy memories. Welcome to Catalyst: Where the men are oblivious and the women love them anyway!

TRUTH! Although, persistence seems to pay off in this department. Keep hope, forlorn ladies of Catalyst!

Tamper: Destroy All Devices!
Me: No Effect

I don't ever think I've seen a temper try to run before.

Friday night, Jane is looking at a device Stark bought to let them do trauma surgery. The device is labeled "Archetech". There was another man there, and they are thinking the name was spelt wrong on purpose and were trying to debate why. Apparently it takes a girl with a love of corny jokes to realize the name was supposed to be cute/funny not mysterious: "Archy-Tech".

I don't remember who did it, but on Sunday, once we'd gotten into the tunnels through the elevator and some of us were coordinating things down below, I was walking around with no jacket, no tie, my old combat garb, and multiple guns loaded and slung on me. Someone, I don't remember who, made my day with:

"Hey D-Trip, how's it feel to get out of the board room?"

Fantastic! I wish I could have seen the general IG reactions going on inside there, had we not been otherwise... occupied.

(Context: Chris volunteered use of his drum kit for the talent show, including arranging transport, and asked plot if we could figure out an IG way for him to acquire them. We agreed and schemed!)

Intern #112: I had something I thought you might be interested in.
Ore: Oh is that right? Tell me more.
I: Well, it's a, well, um. Hm. (uncomfortable) A... failed experiment. You see, we were... we were trying to create the Courteous Neighbor Drum Kit, where you could play it as loud as you like, but the sound would only travel 20 feet!
(Ore starts to hide a smile, seeing where this is going.)
I: (continues) But it's a complete failure! The sonic dampening fields are just...
O: Wow. So it's loud, no matter how far someone is from it? (shaking his head in disappointment)
I: I know. It's so embarrassing. A complete failure. But maybe you could get some kind of other use out of it.
O: Well, I don't know...
(He hedges back and forth a while before finally agreeing to do us the favor of taking it off our hands!)

I wonder what it means that the little Luddite girl also gave me cookies....

(Grace gotta cut someone?)

This is, of course, the emptiest threat of all time...

Or is it?

There were a few Luddite Girls that brought out cookies. I'm not sure who gave you yours, as compared to who gave Franco his.. but that'd be pretty funny.

Chloe (played by Alex Westbrook) gave me cookies.

If Grace ends up cutting someone, I will *laugh my ass off*. Not that it would be warranted. Tory is a one-woman woman.

Hmmm. Chloe also gave Tim the Butcher some cookies....

WHAT IF YOU ALL GET THE BEETUS?!

Aw man, I didn't get any cookies...

OH SNAP

Good! Then you won't get HORRIBLE SPACE BEETUS

Chloe and Tabitha give Tabur and Sam cookies, repsectively, then go off to giggle in a corner while Sam and Tabur go back to their card game.

Tabur: Welp, I guess we are married to luddites now.

I almost forgot to add my favorite Divaisms!

To the newish thaws:
On old catalyst, there was a devilishly handsome sixty foot statue that looked over and protected us all. It was made of not one...but fifty noble metals!

To Jane, Konrad and Shlea(who amusingly missed the reference completely):
Tabur's spelt T-a-double b-r. Want to hear his song? The most wonderful thing about Tabur, is Taburs a wonderful thing.....

Ok, the best line of the event, delivered repeatedly by several people, but mostly by Lysandrae, Saturday night :
Bestow Cake to Cuddle Pile!

(anyone having no clue what this is about may ask via pm)

(to the leafy Zarra)
Fawkes: I hope this isn't a personal question, but are you fruiting?

Speaking of the Tabur song..

Diva: "But the most wonderful thing about Tabur? He's the only one!"
Lifeblind: "THANK GOD!"

The vows for Jim and Maben's wedding, by Pulse's request.

Quote:
We are gathered here today for the union of Maben, 32nd genesis of Piska, Clone #1824, Citizen 991747394 and Jim Fenton the boar hunter – like many things on Catalyst, an unexpected result, stemming from the diverse people and hardships we've all found waiting for us here.

Some of these results have been terrible. Horrific. Atrocious. Delicious. [Nolan solicits additional adjectives from the crowd.] Fabulous! Heartwarming and life-affirming.

And like many things on Catalyst, it won't benefit from a bunch of folks yammering on about it.

I'm going to close my eyes and anyone who objects can raise their hands. OK? Good!

Do you, Maben 32nd genesis of Piska Clone #1824 Citizen 991747394, take this boar hunter in illness, health, bugs, tampered (but not tampering, that's crossing a line), surprise genetic defects, until and unless it looks like it's not working out and even though you still love each other it's best for you to go your separate ways?

And do you, Jim the boar hunter, all that stuff I just said?

Hooray!

I wonder, at what point did the 'white bug' scurry through? I was a tad preoccupied with all the scurrying to notice the vows, actually.... but those are excellent vows, sir.

Right after Nolan asked for objections (and Grinner, as bridesman, pointed his gun on the assembled while Nolan's eyes were closed).
