Mhm, sure. What's really going on is you're not a fan of the Broadside/Paladin ship and tried to subtly stop it! I'm on to you GM! :P

I'm obviously joking. Mistakes happen, I'm glad it was that instead of something such as Paladin's player was taking a hiatus or anything like that.

Im already shipping Broadside and Rook. Just sayin'


So, I talked with All-Seeing and I decided to change a move that I  feel now that Im more acquainted with Warp, I wont use. I'm removing Mary contrary, and getting

That one won't make it out to sea thanks to the Sophia/Josep ship when she realizes she can trade up.

Did I mention I love you people? Because I love you people.

Or maybe she'll trade up to the literal sea as she discovers her true power?

And just like in many superhero stories when Sophia finds her true love, tragedy strikes!

In reply to Rook (msg # 953):

Ouch, that hurt my feelings.


I have to admit, that I quite enjoy the  Warp/Sophia ship, even if doesn't happen ever.

I am definitely teaching Hamlet again this year, so taking arms against a sea of troubles might eventually be apropos.

(Though given what she's been through lately, Sophia would not joke about the next line.)

Ooh, what film are you going to show for that? The one with Kenneth Branagh or David Tennant? I'm...slightly biased toward my favorite Doctor (plus it has the power of Patrick Stewart), but I also really enjoyed the other adaption as well.

I show clips of several different film versions. There are things I really like about Branagh's interpretation, but there are a couple of the monologues in which I read the meaning completely different (in one case, almost opposite) to Branagh's performance.

I haven't seen the whole of the Tennant performance, but his "to be..." is one that I use. It's particularly filmic--there's no way that kind of low volume would convey on stage. There are clips of Benedict Cumberbatch's stage Hamlet available too, which is helpful.

I loved Tennant as the Doctor, and I liked him even better as Crowley in Good Omens.

I am glad someone with literature background helped provide context.

being so hard on the history side, I thought the gif was about going Caligula level crazy and declaring war on the ocean.

It was actually more about the assassination of Julius Caesar. The ocean rolled back which led to the perfect opportunity for the stabbing. Much in the way Brutus stabbed Caesar in the back though in this case it was more the Tides of March.

It's plausible that the line in Hamlet is an oblique reference to the Caligula episode. Also likely that Mayor West is echoing Caligula rather than the Melancholy Dane.

ALSO: awards Rook one point for the joke, and takes away one point for the joke.

At least he finally got to be ginger.

In reply to Broadside (msg # 964):

I have an ineffable obsession with the show. xD I saw it 3 times already. I'm in so many FB groups and well... read FF about it.  I think I  may have a problem.

That is more than fair.



I never thought I'd enjoy one of Tennant's characters as much as the Doctor but Crowley made it happen. Such a fun show.

Hey, Paladin, I think Fatima might be able to help you with your problem, given that she's got notes on all the team members. Plus, she's trying to catch your attention to talk about something else as well. It may turn out to be a mutually beneficial arrangement.

So, not that most kids would be able to understand it, but the old man's goal isn't for Andrew to get information. Well, it is, but the main point is to get him to actually socialize with the rest of Team.

At least, that's what I would do in the old man's shoes.

Oh I agree. But having some information might at least be a starting point. Besides, it would be a very teenage thing to do to completely misunderstand what an adult is trying to say.

I really behind on this, didn't I...

To make it clear, is my prompt related to the breakup?

That is a prompt -for- you, but in general this is day-in-the-life stuff, and anything you want to get done / insert the day before Homecoming.

In reply to Broadside (msg # 969):

Broadside is, I think, the most likely to misinterpret "learn something about your teammates" as "gather intelligence on them." It goes with the protege playbook so thoroughly. (I played one once, and there was a lot of similar stuff.)

Really, we just need to get Andrew doing karaoke, and all will be well.

It's not Sophia's taste at all, and she wouldn't IC choose it, but this would be great for her: https://youtu.be/YMDrTMnm1IE

...and now for some inexplicable reason I'm imagining Andrew doing "The Impossible Dream" from Don Quixote and having secretly loved Broadway musicals since his earliest years.

Team karaoke, huh?


Hmmmm......

Mental notes will be taken (and judgements will be made) about songs chosen by the team, but lets do it.

Amendment: Bohemian Rhapsody must be either the first or last song in any karaoke group

Sorry again, I've been rather busier than I expected, and too tired when not, which isn't great for creative responses. I'll post when I can, but I want to be able to do it justice, so it may take a while. Still, some time this week or weekend at latest.
