"No, but they can cancel each other out." -- Jason

"I only want what my daughter wants. Or something." -- Laughter to Foster

"Either well-behaved or dead." -- Matt

"I suppose it is my duty to offer unconditional love and get you drunk every now and then." -- Felix to Foster

"Jordan has the airs and ways of Mandor." -- GM
"Which means he's cool and you're shit." -- Laughter to Ahab


Session 73

"Draw one of the swords. Draw the other one, too." -- Laughter to GM

"Well, I guess that tells us something." -- Laughter, after running into a spell and being thrown back 20 feet
"Yes, it tells us not to do that again." -- Ariana

"The last thing we want is for Foster to be in awe of Jordan. That helps our case not at all. Whatever our case may be." -- Laughter to GM

"Two pregnant women, alone in a forest. What could go wrong?" -- Ahab to Foster

"So, what do you suggest I do with Laughter, thump her on the head and drag her home?" -- Foster to Ahab
"Oh, just try it, Chaos boy." -- Laughter

"It goes something like this. Caine hid my mother and sister out in Shadow, and then got et by a sea monster. And we don't know where he put them." -- Felix to Bleys

"I don't want to be here anymore." -- Felix
"Are you sure you want to be here?" -- Foster
"I don't know." -- Felix

"Can I duck?" -- Felix
"No." -- GM
"But I have more warfare than the Serpent." -- Felix

"You feel (the Serpent's) coils brush around your feet." -- GM
"Stop that!" -- Felix

"I always thought you rather grudgingly hated me." -- Laughter
"Yes, but that was before we had sex, and you suck." -- Calamus

"You lose the hand that was holding the Trump deck." -- GM
"How badly does this hurt?" -- Laughter

"OK, so I should have been prepared (with a death curse). I'll be prepared next time." -- Laughter to the group

"(The others) didn't run into the Serpent. I don't think. It didn't feel bulgy." -- Felix to Gérard

"How's Mebd this morning?" -- Alex
"She's stopped drooling." -- GM
"Is that because she's dehydrated?" -- Alex

"So, when are you going to break the siege?" -- Nicholas to Ahab

"Until you get older, I'm your dad, which means your opinion doesn't matter much." -- Ahab to Nicholas

"I can't kill Kimdyl here, it's too public." -- Matt to GM
"That would be unwise." -- Jason
"Yeah, you might piss off Nicholas." -- Kris

"Men of Amber, see my breasts." -- Jason to the group, speaking for Laughter

"My father gave me a vibrator, but he never gave me batteries." -- Jason to the group, speaking for Tamaryn

"You are not Laughter." -- Merrie
"Thank God." -- Kris


Session 75

"(Bart's) theory is that everyone Ariana sleeps with is Vetch. So if she sleeps with him, Vetch will be free." -- Liam to the group

"I don't like this being left alone, since there's Oreos in the game." -- Merrie to the group

"I'm going to keep an eye on this, to help if (the Hendrake) looks like he's going to wax Usires. To help Usires, not the (Hendrake)." -- Ariana to GM

"I'll gladly take your father any day of the week." -- Laughter to Foster

"You could always buy a title." -- Foster
"I already have a title." -- Laughter
"Bastard to the King." -- Liam

"Perhaps you should tell me of (what you are planning) now, so that I can refuse to speak to you now rather than later." -- Laughter to Mandor

"Foster suggested I buy a title. The Chaos ambassador suggested I buy a title within one of the allied houses." -- Laughter to Mandor


Session 76

"I don't want the grief that (controlling Benedict's mind) would cause me later in life. Not much later, because there wouldn't be much of a later in life." -- Ahab to the group

"You could tree Suhuy?" -- Liam
"I hope I'm not that stupid, yet." -- Merrie

"It was an incredibly stupid and ill-conceived plan." -- Arthur
"Maybe that's why Ahab wants to kill you. That's his bailiwick, after all." -- Laughter

"What else would you like to know about the wedding?" -- Foster
"Rings?" -- Laughter

"(Nicholas) is not quite the homicidal maniac that he was going to be?" -- Deirdre

"(Laughter's) trying to be 'OK.'" -- Merrie to the group, about how Laughter is dealing with her imprisonment

"No man wants laughter in their bed." -- Laughter to a city guard

"I suppose outlawing slavery is out of the question?" -- Laughter

"Some husband I'm going to be, I can't even protect (Laughter)." -- Foster to Felix
"From herself?" -- Jason

"Do you think you could Logrus out for a small child?" -- Laughter to Alex

"I bring up the Logrus." -- Felix to GM

"I was thinking of something that is least like the Pattern." -- Ahab to GM

"Because Oberon has not made noises towards killing six million people, and when he does, I'll see which six million they are, and sign on, or not." -- Ahab to Nicholas, explaining why Oberon is OK

"Lavender." -- Oberon
"You know my name." -- Laughter

"I notice that you've been attuned to the Jewel" -- Oberon
"Well, that happened while I was away, actually." -- Ahab
