Neve O'Brien(RIP), Magnus Sulara Oratia Somerton, Songbird, Elias Amory, Dr. Ara Grintner (formerly ZG) , Jane Sawyer, and Grace (just Grace)

Paraphrased, as it came back to me secondhand and made me cackle while sitting at my director's desk Saturday morning:

Maxter: Alright people, the next time a young helpless girl comes in begging for help to go save her family out in the woods, just shoot her.

Grinner, walking out of the Commissary Saturday morning, doing what I surmise is a Gera impersonation: "OH MAH STAHS AND GAHTAHS."

Chet Chesterson IV, Intern 2nd Class, Utopia:

Chittey-tut-tut!
As my dear old grandpa used to say, "I said add vermouth, dammit."
As my dear old granpa used to say, "Wipe twice, not thrice!"

And other such ridiculousness.

I'm pretty sure everything Derek said Saturday night was gold, even if he makes terrible Blazer Bombs.

Grinner: "Are you kidding me? B3ll's using robo-space @#$%& from the moon?"

Todd Dax at game off. "I can't self sacrifice stupid1"

Billy Rye: "Eliza, guess what? That liquid gold I drank? It passed through my system."
Eliza: "Yeah? So'd you get a gold bar?"
Billy Rye: "Nope. Noble Metal."

Someone: (Don't remember who) "Hey, Blazer V!"

Matthes, Dax, and Eliza: "Yeah?" in unison.

Someone (referring to Jack): "Is he death walking?"
Grinner: "Not unless he's also death picking daisies!"

So Mic and Alec are being an armed escort for Hannah and Gera, so they can start setting up the wedding. Bringing up a joke from earlier, where Alec said "I'm a pretty lady" (a quote, all by itself), Mic started mocking him, saying something along the lines of "You'd make the prettiest little lady."

Cue Gera and Hannah now going on about how Derpus and Darp are CLEARLY talking about procreating and having children. We scramble, starting to defend ourselves and explain where the joke happened...which then lead into a comment about "the only way Alec could be a pretty girl is if we put him in a dress."

Hannah's retort? "But I thought you weren't that kind of CDF!"

It was a weekend of insinuations! Don't worry I had way more directed at me then I teased you guys with. It was fun being the one making the insinuations for once!

So worst one was Talia. I think it was Friday night. Hannah was coaching her on being a good secretary:

Talia: you know what the differenc is between a secretary and a personal assistant?
Hannah: what
Talia: personal assistants have dirty knees

Hannah, a offended, shows Talia her knees, which were perfectly clean.

The next morning, while Mudding, Hannah takes a bad spill on a slick bridge.

Ward: Hannah are you ok!
Hannah my knees are dirty! And I scraped one up!
Jodi: better not let Talia see!

Not five minutes after we got back to the commissary, Talia says two words to Hannah "personal assistant"

Sunday morning, Ori is watching a sword-weilding badass close on Mic and Alec. Mic warns Alec to back off. Alec replies "I have armor. He has a crowbar!" bad guy feints, hits her "Physics damage 5." she falls. Glass, standing next to Ori remarks. "Yes, he just has a crowbar."

Cape Ninja experimented on himself, inducing mortal terror of Grinner. He shrieks, flees the Commissary, and Grinner gives chase with onlookers in tow. What followed was a Scooby Doo-esque runaround by the cabins punctuated by Cape Ninja protesting and Grinner taunting him with such gems as "Eat your ninja vegetables!", "I'm gonna get your belly button!", and my personal favorite, "I'm gonna chop off your feet and sell 'em to a Luddite!"which proved to be the last straw as Cape Ninja fled down the hill and into the night.

Discussing Mortimer with some of WRAITH.

Doc S mutters to herself "Wow, I really do have a 'type', don't I?"

The pouty-scared-angry-but-horrified look on Grinner's face isn't quotable, but oh good god it will make me laugh for a good long while.

Grinner is trying to explain to a Luddite what Sam Archer looks like.
"Just find the guy with the really slappable face!"

Quote:

I was honestly surprised there wasn't more!

Hannah shouldn't be teasing people about thier relationships if she doesn't want people teasing her about hers. She had enough people insinuating things all weekends she didn't need Alec and Mic as well

Rymaus Liena “Ellie” Dax

HA! I don't think either of them would really know how to do that without being crass (Mic) or embarrassed/to polite to (Alec).

I -think- it was Jeremy S who said this to me at cleanup, but I might be a huge forgetter...

"Man, I thought the Valkyries were pretentious when we saw them at night, but seeing the wing headdresses in the daylight, we realized we were underestimating the level!'

"Liquid Gold: Hot Sparkles in your Mouth"


(After experimenting with Billie's new whiskey...)
Donny: "Billie, we need to start mass production immediately!"

---

Epic medtech radio catfight/brawl.

Stoopid o'clock quote:

Doc S, with packet held threateningly in hand: I'm perfect, though, right Grinner? There's nothing at all wrong with me, right?"

Grinner freezes in headlights.

Todd Dax steps in: "Self-sacrifice awkward moment. Doc S, you are just perfect, yes."

Doc S: "Why thank you, Grinner. So sweet of you to say so."

Dan E (I think): Yeah, during that berserk fight I looked over and saw you (Krystal) screaming and fighting everyone with a shoe, and I though, "Oh, Steph must have been hit with the berserk." Then I stopped and thought about it, and thought, "Or maybe this is just Krystal without a berserk."

BP: "So basically Krystal epicallly held off Eli with a boffer shoe while Donny cowered behind her with his useless gun. This is a pretty good summary of the Boyz in general."

Dan E. as Mortimer may be one of the best bits of casting ever done at Future Imperfect.

Mortimer (to Grinner): "You, sir, are a cur. You are loud, obnoxious... and a homewrecker."

In unison, whilst flipping off a slow moving passing light in the sky while star watching, as we have decided that it *must* be Mother: "Can you see this B3ll? Cuz we're doing it as hard as we can!"

As shooting stars are decided to be things being dropped from Mother:

"You missed us, B3ll. Crappy aim, we're RIGHT HERE."

Watching him fight Maben and try to kill her as a lesson to Grinner's was very cool. Hannah started trying the "but what about her husband, how would he feel if you killed her" angle and he very matter of factly said it was just a trip to the res bed. He was a very creepy character but I loved how he was giving out algorithms more then having an actual conversation.

Watching Dan mince across the field with his black umbrella made me so, so happy. There was really no mistaking who he was.

While walking in the woods during the Sunday fight with Steph and Amber. Amber turns to me.

Amber: Are you ok?

Me: Yeah I am fine why?

Amber: you are breathing pretty heavy, must be the mask amplifying it.

Me: I feel Like Darth Vader right now, but I am fine.

Pretty sure I heard Steph chuckle.

I sure did

A few tidbits from the Friday night Valkyrie stuff...

Valkyrie: "Be calm, this is the time for speaking." (waits)
Grinner: "Well... talk, then."
V (irritated): "I would know who I speak to. Who speaks for you?"
G: "Guys, who should we have talk to them?"
V (loud muttering): "Your chain of command is pathetic."
Voice from the crowd: "You're not wrong!"

Maben is finally pushed forward, and the ladies start spouting off some pretentious philosophical bull.

Maben (confused): "So, what are you suggesting we do? Do you think we should become like you?"
V (scoffing): "Your genetics are inferior, you cannot become like us."

It goes downhill from there...

Right, I had forgotten about Tala's innuendos.

Tala, holding 1B: "I have a @#$%&."
I start petting the cat.
Tala: "I knew you wanted to touch it."

She is totally the perfect secretary for Orion

Grinner while resuscitating Krystal after the Berserk till Death ran off looks up at me with the most uncomfortable look on his face due to the fact that he's basically got two hand fulls of Krystal's melons: "This is so awkward.."

Listening to Shlea and Walter discuss how she's apparently setting up candlelight dinners for the entire phycology group was pretty awesome. I don't remember the exact wording, but...
Somewhere in this, I'm pretty sure the entire group was promised this dinner.
Shlea: "Yeah, a whole candlelight dinner with really darn good steak!"
Walter: "You mean not fake meat?"
*cue the entire phyco group perking up*
Shlea: "Well, no, still fake...but it's still a candlelight dinner!"

(Her name is Tala, not Talia)

Hannah in the most pouty voice possible: " I'm going to go fill my panties with chemicals.."

Everyone commenting on math pants lack of pants but math shorts.
Everyone: "Math Shorts!"
Gera: " No dear, subtraction."

While Grace was trying on wedding dresses.
Grace: "Gera thank you for being my Bridezilla."
Gera: " Nothing makes me happier dear."

" Perks you up where you need it!"

I still maintain they were beakers, not panties, but you three were ridiculous! I just had to storm out, and then made the mistake of telling Stark I was "fine". Try explaining that line of reasoning...lol

Sitting at the bar with Billy Rye and Blazer after Billy had just finished testing his experiment, I look to Donny.

Eliza: "Donny, why don't you wear combat armor?"
Donny: *flashes his single knee bad*
Eliza: "No, real combat armor."
Donny: "My costuming department didn't thaw with me."

Also, speaking of Donny. The Stoopid O'clock Crew chatter about the Buck Howitzer movies was priceless.

Uncouth.

Gera at multipul times during the event : "Uncouth!"

It then spread like wild fire...

James: "Ok, so I just want to point out that a Hiver, with help from a Medicant, are about to install this in a Child of the Mother, with help from an Archetech and a Freeborn, and this all started because of a Disciple. We are officially in batshit crazy land."

Sunday morning in the Comm during the insanity

Ori runs in, with about 40 seconds left until he falls on his face (FOIG if you don't know) and sees Amber the Valkerie, who grins openly at the unarmed idiot in front of her.

Ori : Wanna Dance?

Amber :Absolutely! ::slowly closes::

Maxter not so slowly sneaks up behind her ::Backstab::

Valkerie go thud.

I cannot believe I almost left this out.

Sunday Morning, a group of heavily armed guys discussing Clone Grace with Grace and Tory, and thinking about a password, which Grace vetoed as too unsecure. Ori comes over and suggests sedating her and placing a tattoo where she couldn't see and wouldn't know, and therefore couldn't give away.... Grace and Tory both reject the idea, but the gun-jockey's (Maxter in specific, because he's the only one I can swear was there) immediately start talking about the innappropriate places to put one.... I SWEAR Ori had "left earlobe" or something easily checked in mind, but the phrase "Get Raven, and here's a map to go look for it" came up.

Quotes I wished happened:

Interrogating "evil" Grace:

Dr Black asked Tory where her Grace is, concerned. Tori says she went to bed.
In the nick of time the front lobe "Black" filter stopped the message to the lips saying " Without you??!"
