--Harriet offering Insight yet again

Gasp! Will Zach and Harriet stand between Brynn and the Apoidea's carpal joints? Never! She strides onwards! Verily will the air be hers!
--Brynn the juggernaut on another rampage

"If those things [that you have to do] involve bleeding to death, I'd say that's a waste of a perfectly good body."
--Zach offers advice on time management

"I doubt that the knife itself is heretical. I mean, it's not out preaching against barbeque or anything. It's more of a tool of evil, like the idol to the idolater, you know? Is that the term? Idolater? I always get confused on the more obscure sins."
--Boh is musing over obscure theological problems

"I think barbeque has to be on the evil side. It's messier, more indulgent, and definitely tastier. I think that sweet tang would have to be the mark of sin. Steak, especially when well done, is clearly more like goodness. It's adequate, and satisfying, but not all that exciting."
--Boh brings more light to the question of Good and Evil as related to food

< OOC >"Ouch! I'm not gonna see her, even if she paints herself yellow and does the cha-cha on my table!
--Zach fails a perception roll to spot Hachilah

< OOC > Cristobal passes Duke a drink and explains the scene. "The jailbait is up on stage singin' the blues, tall blond and burly is dancing with short bespectacled and Freudian, and Warren's over there with a poor cryin' dame. And me? I've got a bad case of Film Noir and a double whiskey."

Warren finds himself in the awkward position of nearly having his tux cried upon now, after Hachilah's sad sad song.
--The price of being the local agony unchle

"They give you cookies for caroling, eh?" He ponders this. "Well, I suppose it is better than thrown bricks..."
--Cristobal learns something new

"So you're the Che Guevarras of the theatre world, surprising people with guerrilla performances?"
--Zach tries to understand modern street theatre

"Oh well /that/ goes without saying. Pleasant surprises are the best, closely followed by surprising surprises and annoying surprises that forces you to bend your brain a bit."
--Zach proves that he has a Master's degree in Surprisology

2003

January

< OOC > Mick says, "Oh. Zach's pretty old. ;P"
< OOC > Harriet steps up in Zach's defense. "But young at heart!" :D
< OOC > Zach says, "Hey! Am not old! Just....matured a bit. :)"
< OOC > Mick grins.
< OOC > Harriet snorts. Mature? Zach? ...no comment.
< OOC > Zach says, "HEY!!"
--And here we go again..

"The ducks obviously have no taste in music," she murmurs. "Perhaps they'd prefer the triangle?"
--Harriet wonders why the ducks aren't fans of Zach's music

Mick chuckles softly, in spite of himself. And then he notices he's chuckling and stops.
--It's not always easy to keep up the sullen teenager act

"That might not have been the cleverest thing I've ever done..."
--Zach on the topic of drinking pitch-black coffee with heaps of sugar before bedtime

"Yep. Met him. Still don't like him."
--Zach commenting on the return of an old 'acquaintance'

Ahhh, Malakite mating rituals. Invite your sister along to slaughter a demon; it's better then jewelry.
--Did we really need to know this?

"Yup. Oh, do you think you could tell if my new mirror's evil, you know? Cosmo says it might be, but I think it's just a mirror. (...) It hasn't done anything naughty, but I thought I'd ask."
--Harriet gets such interesting gifts

"sorry...fell asleep and ...." He looks around. "this isn't the YMCA...."
--Eli emerges from Harriet's bathroom

"Hey, you're that guy. The one with the hair."
--Eli, this time pinpointing Zach

< OOC > Fidelity says, "Just don't let her dive behind you firing a Celestial Song of Light, Zach. Trust me on this one."
< OOC > Zach says, "Yeah that's just what I need. My ass on fire! :)"
--Wouldn't that have been an interesting SFX scene, though?

Harriet pages: You realize, of course, that your Archangel is a complete loon...
--Zach gets an OOC message in the middle of battle

< OOC > Harriet thinks we all need a snuggle. Including Eli.
< OOC > Hachilah whispers, "The horror. The HORR -- whee, snuggles? :D"
--And this ladies and gentlemen, is Hachilah in a nutshell!

"Oh, I should intervene, I just know I should, but somehow," and with this, the Fallen Lord of Light simply smiles, "I think I'd rather just watch."
--Lucifer intervenes, employing blatant smarminess!

Cosmo eyes widen a bit as he is lifted into the air. He knows this isn't his forte'. Knew it going in. Doesn't make it any less embarassing when he hears the splash of the duckpond and feels himself crash intot he water.
--Somebody tried to fight a grumpy ex bully-sargent from the Groves..

Cosmo works his jaw silently, up and down. That's...well, that's something else, isn't it? "I..."
--Cosmo's rather eloquent response upon being informed that his fellow Virtue's dissonance came from suffering Lucifer to live

Brynn isn't a Lustie! [FNORD]: "You're just drawn that way."
--Well, as long as we're all agreed on that...

< OOC >Zach smiiiiles enticingly to Harriet and starts the seductive hula-wiggling. "You know you want to.... Deep, down inside..."
--Zach uses Dark Desire on Harriet to get her to hula!

Brynn goes all vanishy-like! Like a ninja! ...who uses the door like an ordinary person.
--Brynn makes such exits!

"Don't beat your head against the floor, dearheart. There's no reason to do that."
--Harriet tries to talk some sense into Zach

< OOC >Harriet's eyes shine with Possibility. Quantum Weather Butterflies! Wielded by armies of Harrim...
--Harriet gets ideas involving Transubstansiation and Janus-powers
