I BRING THE FUNNY (Enough Doom already! Jeez!)

Look, it's all well and good to be driven to save the game. I am too.

But you know what? I just realized I have this MASSIVE "tension bar" across my shoulders and upper back. It's starting to actually -hurt-.

I bet a lot of you are as well. Or having tension headaches or even ulcers if you're stressed too much.

SO...

I'm taking a few minutes out from doing screenshots of the game, saving my characters, surfing the web trying to find new articles or waiting to hear ANYTHING from NCSoft.

Just stop a minute. Roll the shoulders. And look into our supergroup's "quote" pages for the laughs.

See - My Supergroup - the Legendary, like many out there, has forums of it's own. And - being a casual/light RP group, we sometimes slip in and out of character. Or do full-on "omake" (gag-scenes) in text while we're doing task forces and such.

I run with a crew that regularly CRACKS ME UP so much I sometimes LITERALLY die from laughter because I am whooping for laughter too much to BLOODY SEE!!!

So, as part of my service to the community to help you all loosen the hell up a little. Here are some of the best, most broken, brain-bleach inducing and all-around WRONG moments captured from the /copychat command by me or members of the Legendary.

Think of it like "AnimeHELL" only it's superheroes. And in text.

I present - The Legendary's QUOTE WALL

----------

* * *

"Think of it as a morale booster," Evangelia said as she tightened down the final screw on the bracket she was attaching to the wall. The soft background hiss of the air conditioners and the far-off faint beeping of the Command Center were the only response. She tossed a glance back over her shoulder.

Mag Flashlight stood there, holding the giant message board intended to fit in said bracket across one shoulder. "Oh, it'll be that, boss lady," he finally replied.

"So what's the problem?"

Mag blinked. "I'm trying to decide what to put up here -first-," he said. "I mean, the board's only so big...."

"... I hadn't thought of that."

They settled the board into place and stepped back. The banner at the top read QUOTES OF THE LEGENDARY, and a little box with pens, pads, and tacks hung below.

Eva scribbled briefly on a slip, tore it off and stuck it on the board, and turned to Mag with a satisfied expression. "There! Now we just wait."

Posted on the forums by popular channel request. Going Rogue launch night, while standing in a remarkably crowded tutorial zone:

Out of character last night, upon Princess Evangelia receiving the "Rift Traveler" badge at level 30 without yet having traveled the Rift:

[The Legendary] Terrence Knight: Bob's broken Praetoria.

--------------------

My (former) Praetorian Sassinak did that mission recently where you wind up in an office building getting into the middle of a fight between Fir Bolg and Tuatha. After gunning down many alternating waves of Shaggy Monster and Pumpkinhead ambushes... the tide ebbs. And, still breathing hard, looking around for anything else spoiling for a fight, she sees nothing around her but broken, bleeding, moaning forms formerly trying to destroy each other - and then her. But no more seem to be interested in fighting.

Sassinak: "Anybody ELSE want to negotiate!?"

--------------------

So... Is this working for you guys? You want more?

Edit: I'll post some more of these when I get some more feedback as to how well they're going over. Are you amused? Disturbed? Is it "too soon"? Or is it needed right now?

And hey! If you've got some of your own, feel free to post them! (Just try and keep them worksafe. I know there were bits in here that were borderline. I hope they were ok though!)

Well, I thought it was fun to read.

It also reminded me of some of the fun times I had in several global channels and/or teams, but I don't save the chat logs to bother posting.

Heh. and there was the time that severl of that same supergroup, (and related global channel) inspired me to write This:

Purrfect Mess, Sgt., P.P.D. Special Investigaions Division, knew the importance of the paperwork she was filling out. It was just that in her current mood she'd rather be doing just about anything else. Ivan, her pet Flytrap tried to cuddle up to her, either for her body heat or sensitive to her mood, but it was more of a distraction than a comfort at the moment, so she shoo'd him back under the sunlamp of her cubicle and tried, again, to finish the current report on her desk when *YET ANOTHER* interuption shattered her concentration.




"GYAAaAAAaaaAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" That would be her rookie noticing the present that had been left outside the precint house this morning. Mess pushed and leaned back in her office chair so she could glare at the younger officer past the edge of the cubicle divider.


Jeannette "GaravorNette", was starring in horror; Mess had to supress a chuckle at the sight of a 7 foot tall green skinned 'Nette freaking out at the sight of a shrub. To be fair, though, it wasn't exactly an ORDINARY shrub, but it wasn't exactly like it was about to spring to life the way Devouring Earth Blackroses did either. G'nette, catching the movement from the corner of her eyes, turned to Mess and stammered "PLEASE tell me thats one of yours, Sarge!?"


"Sorry Rookie, but I don't do Topiary, and even if I did I wouldn't dip it in chocolate. Oh, and it had a card with it..." Darn but it was hard not to break out in laughter at the expression on G'nette's face as she unfolded the metal sign and read it.


"Grendal luv G'nette" sighed the object of his affection. "Great. I bust the guy who deposed him and now the resurgent leader of the Trolls thinks I'm the smashiest thing since 'Dyne. AND he feels compelled to give me this, probobly because its so close to Valentines." The this in that last statement clearly referred to the object that had triggered the whole interuption in the first place.


It was a topiary shrub, shaped like a teddy bear, then dipped in chocolate. It was, in a very troll like way, almost logical. Gurlz luv flowerz. Shrub = flowerz. Flowerz look like teddy bear! Perfect! Don't gurlz like chocolate too? So, dip flowers in chocolate! Grendal Smartezt troll evar!!! Hur hur hur!!!!


"Fortunately for you, you can't keep it. It'd look to much like a bribe," Mess assured. "So, take it down to Trace, maybe they can find something to link him to something we can bust him for. They'll stick it in evidence and eventually we can just burn it with other siezed organic materials."


G'nette nodded, accepting both the suggestion and the evidence gloves that Mess handed her. G'nette gingerly picked up the pot of evidence, then damn near dropped it as PSI's Chief Medical Officer and Coroner Transfusionette came around the corner. The CMO looked at the shrub, then up at G'nette, then back to the shrub before engaging in a very Spock-like eyebrow lift.


"I need to see you once your... done with whatever it is your.... doing with that."


"Sure, T'nette!!! Geez, is it that time of the month again already??"


"Mm Hmm," agreed the CMO, and Mess could see her working down the same logic tree first Mess and then G'nette had before shaking her head and heading back the way she had came.


"Kay, I'll be there in a minute!" G'nette assured the retreating figure before heading off herself. Mess savored the sudden quiet, before gently pushing Ivan, who had started to try and cuddle up to her again, away and rolling her desk chair back to her paperwork.

(thought this one deserved it's own post too, come to think of it)
