Having two consecutive days of playing d&d is both the worst thing and the best thing. Because on one hand I want to keep playing every day all day forever and I CAN'T which is DUMB, but on the other hand I get to write SO many notes and have good moments and quotes from my fellow players and our favorite (or sometimes least favorite) NPC's. 22 pages of notes from said two consecutive sessions btw. I was lowkey slacking though, usually I write more.
Nonetheless, I still wrote some good shit down! I'm sharing quotes I'm fond of from my notes of sessions 5 and 6 (and the end of the first arc!) from the campaign I'm in, as well as sharing my thoughts on them! Most are serious, but I swear funny things happen.
[Note: this will likely be mostly out of context for people not in this campaign because giving context would take a While. But, hey, if someone wants to know I'll be more than willing to info dump!]
"I promise you can be found again." - Father Job
looove love love experiencing fear-mongering religious sermons both in and out of game, definitely not super unsettling. oh father job how i loathe you
"Together we can erase the oppression weighing down on our shoulders." - Father Job
another absolutely wonderful quote from father job. finding out that this man was possibly going to start a revolution and become the mayor of the city through that made a lot of sense for the ego on this fucking guy. thank god we prevented that and he's still just a regular freak but with less powerful connections. hopefully lol
"You are really in over your head." - Noellian Triscenti
"Really? Because you're about to be in over your head in a minute." - Bonny J. Travesty
COMICAL exchange because noellian was lying through his scared little teeth. YES it's you we want. you've been evading everyone and dabbling in things that had you trying to flee the city. don't worry, we definitely won't dangle you over the edge of a bridge and intimidate you into telling us the information we know that you know. :). good luck with your "fleeing the city" move, buddy!
"Sorry, stuff happened." - Anemoia Basalt
UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE MILLENNIUM. we witnessed a mass killing with a gas bomb in the middle of a packed open-air cathedral. or, according to anemoia, "stuff happened". i love you so bad 'moia, please never change
"Keep them separate. Sending Anemoia to you. Good luck. Enjoyed working with you." - Maximilian Kurshahn, to Temerity Hellebore
yes, canonically we've only known each other for like a week and have worked together for slightly less than that. but when you get the feeling that you're about to die at the hands of two powerful spellcasters, even the most tenuous of coworkers can get sentimental over a sending spell. excited that i'm not dead and neither are any of the other pc's!! it's a miracle!
"They can go ahead. I know their names." - Temerity Hellebore
BAR. bro killed the academy advisor and all of his naive cronies scattered, as they should. rest in hell harkin. but also you were a funny ass man and interacting with you was absolutely hilarious. god bless
"Anemoia, I don't think I wanna do this anymore." - Jackson Bernardi
jackson you precious fucking kid. just because your grandfather is the leader of this organization doesn't mean you have to be here, too. giving this fictional 19 year old a hug, he deserves it.
"Well, we aren't friends." - Anemoia Basalt, to Maximilian Kurshahn
you would've thought we all got shot the way the entire table reacted to this line. GUTTED ME. this is what i get for making a character who outwardly seems closed off and doesn't want to be bothered, and also doesn't really know how to make friends (and also doesn't have any, and forgot she could actually have them). welcome to the consequences of my actions, sorry guys!
"Tell me, Temerity, is it common practice to be a total douche to the people you work with?" - Bonny J. Travesty
"I'm trying to say sorry." - Temerity Hellebore
"Well say it, don't step around it." - Bonny J. Travesty
LAWD these two were beefing. not even the best to come out of this conversation. so so tea.
"I can see right through you." - Bonny J. Travesty
"I bet you think you can." - Temerity Hellebore
GAGGED. ABSOLUTELY GAGGED. i'm very interested to see how their dynamics change throughout the campaign.
"Temerity?" - Bonny J. Travesty
"What is it?" - Temerity Hellebore
"...Nevermind." - Bonny J. Travesty
AGAIN!!! GAGGED!!!! 10/10 NO NOTES
"Thank you." - Butchie
"There's no need. This is what you deserve." - Hayes "Bernard" Bernardi
OH this moment was so emotional. even had the gm himself tearing up. butchie old boar status is so special to me, even if he thinks he doesn't deserve the promotion :'-]
The last time just you and I were in the same room, I was in the kitchen preparing dinner, and there you were -behind me, surprised that I knew how to cook pasta. It’s no big deal, I told you. And you said Yes it is! in your singsong voice, and sweetheart, how beautiful you were.
How are you?
Have you eaten?
I miss you!
Always remember to drink water.
G'night!
Sweet dreams!
Take care!
Sleep tight!
Don't stay up too late.
Look both ways before crossing the street.
Get a g'night's rest.
You can do it!
I believe in you!
Chase your dreams.
Breathe, breathe deep.
You can achieve anything you put your mind into!
You are beautiful.
You are amazing.
What you create is art.
I'm glad I met you.
I'm here when you need me.
I will stay.
Want do you want for breakfast?
Should I get you anything?
You can have the last slice of pizza.
Double-check for anything before you go!
Thank you!
You are worth it.
You are enough.
You are lovely.
You are Love.
A friend told me
that when life
ever gets me down
I should just remember
That Day.
No,
I'm talking about
a completely
different
day
now.
How did that song go again?
"I will always remember;
it was late afternoon."
Wasn't that
how it went?
To be right there
with You
on That Day
was more than I
could have ever
asked for.
I have
braced
myself
for stormy seas
and raging winds,
going full-sail
with you
as my destination;
the fixed-point
where all my
shortcomings
and
hardships
will finally
make sense to me.
You are The Now
in all its
unfathomable
beauty,
and I
will find you.
I will
always
find you.
