We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I think you're confusing gloating with relaxing (but point taken).

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. Perhaps it is unwise for me to give our GM a hard time. Our GM should relax. She's like the mother our Admiral never had.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Are you insinuating something, Chief? I hope you're not suggesting I in any way lack provably human parents. Of course, if you're merely suggesting that I sprung god-like and fully-formed from the ocean foam, then... Carry on.

Pfft. It is your birthright! It is the province of the GM to cast an omniscient eye over the many decks of fate and declare, "Yeah, they're screwed."

I will say that, for billytea's emails alone, being GM is worth the trouble.

Surely it is this. You know how deeply I respect you, Admiral.

And heh. I can only imagine.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

What the frak, you only live once, right?

We'll go for the check. I play a Y4 IC.

Let's see what we've got.

NOOO! What have you done!?

Kidding! Really. Jeez, lighten up, Doc, it's just a party.

Pass on interrupts. A Scientific Research is also a possible interrupt. I don't know if there's much use for one; we've had a lot of Blue turn up in skill checks already. Even if someone has an SR left over, it probably won't swing much here.

I know that -t is at at a concert right now, so this probably won't be resolved until tomorrow, but everyone else should feel free to send COs for interrupts and contributions to the skill check. Even with an open check, that can sometimes speed things along.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
