The Lunatics Are Running The Asylum.

[thessalian]

So, Mage. I think I'll just do a precis, because the weekend has tired me right the fuck out. They met Peter Grafton, low-level Mage and serious parapsychologist, by the expedient of him walking up to the beacon house and being met by Kimchee and Grinch. The ceremony to make Kimchee Ratamoto went off well, and Chris is now Kimchee's senechal when his other duties (read: cabal shit) allowed. The following morning, the group left Fliss in charge of Josh, Danielle, Elise, Jenny and the various oddities of Bokugo and went off to the local Technocrat base, at which point they were zapped away, one by one, to a 'mental hospital' in Glasgow where they were subjected to several days' worth of sedation, restraint and condescension with Lucille as one of the doctors, Emily as one of the nurses and Michelle as the harried, overtired wife of patient Geoff Woad. Molly, meanwhile, was locked in a padded room and basically has started to feel like she'd rather be crazy and have the hope of getting better (even if the cure involves torture) than live in the world she knows. They found Romulus too, only he was convinced that he really was crazy and that his rescue was 'being kidnapped by lunatics'. Chris and Peter, along with Lucille, Emily and Romulus, got taken to a downstairs lab and nearly subjected to a total mind-wipe; Chris, Peter, Emily and Romulus were saved, but Skank botched two Tech rolls and triggered the device. Lucius then tried to fix the external damage done by the machine, botched, tried again, double botched and had brains dribbling out of her ears. Chris hiccuped time back one round to where Lucius had only half-botched, so Lucille didn't die, but now she's brain damaged and Romulus and Molly are traumatised. Michelle, meanwhile, is now back at the Wales installation, having apparently gone feral enough to be locked in one of the Large Hostile containment units, and they had to waste three days driving back from Glasgow.

Anyway, quotes.


Skank: Graffle graffle GRR!
Lucius: Can you speak human?
Skank: NO.

Lucius: It's unhygenic to put a kitten on the table.
Chris: She's on a steak!

Everyone but Skank: *ramble waffle faff*
*Forces-induced THUNDERCLAP*
Skank: (in Voice of Thunder) Up is the direction you will be shutting!

Chris: Long story short; hentai ate our bus.

Martin: (OOC) Dance for me, Focus Monkey!

Lucius: Do you really think I'd say 'yes'?
Chris: The phrase "Can I eat him now?" springs to mind.
Lucius: I don't remember that!
Chris: You may remember a trip to the Tremere chantry. You may remember a vampire asking to eat me.
Lucius: Oh, I remember!
Chris: Do you remember what you said? I'll give you a clue: It wasn't 'no'!

Skank: The Wyrm is worse than dreaming you're dressed in a loud plaid suit singing Tony Bennett songs, then realising you're not asleep.

Chris: Can I have coffee?
Doctor: No, we're monitoring your caffeine intake.
Chris: But I like coffee. I like coffee in my grapefruit.

Skank: (On his stay in the insane asylum) Must thank the Technocracy for the lovely holiday.

Chris: (about to be brainwashed with needles in the eye) Do me last! I'm a pain in the arse!

Jan: (OOC) Roll dex and firearms; you're trying to fire an automatic weapon while flying through the air at Mach 2.

So that was fun. lokean has his XP for the quotes (which I think he already took); it's nadriel's turn next. And Fading Suns on Tuesday. Whee!

Myself, I'm partial to "Up is the direction you will be shutting!"

Personally, I think we were all most amused by "Dance for me, Focus-Monkey!", but maybe you had to be there. It was lokean doing the marionette-puppeteer finger motions that set us off, I think.

O_O Yeah, if I'd seen that, it might well have been my favorite.
