[act]And so the rigs arrive once again to new and exciting terrain. The group is beginning to get more efficient at setting up camp now, and to the cries of "That's my toe" Have settled down to a minimum. Once the camp is set, all wait to hear what will happen next.[/act]
Elaria: My friends, welcome to your new home for as long as we're here. Who knows how long a gypsy stays put, so make the most of it.
Swallow: I have been here before my friends, and I have some wisdom to impart should you wish o survive this place
Tanya: Survive? [act]gulp[/act]
Swallow: I fear so. My friends listen closely. The people of this place have strange and unusual customs. They are easy to please, but one must know what is expected.
Min: Well don't keep us waiting. What must we do? [act]Looks around fearfully[/act]
Swallow: The people of this place prize some beforetime volumes reverently. They are a friendly people and welcome visitors. They ask only that we do as they do. Be sure to show awe of these sacred volumes in your speech
Elspeth-as-Elaria: Not all Funaga are thisway... ah sorry, slipped into the beasttongue a bit there.
Swallow: [act]Giving Elspeth an odd look[/act] So be merry my friends, but heed my warning else feel the consequences
-----------------------------------------------------------
So as you may have figured out, the goal of this part of our journey is to speak using Obernewtyn Quotes. Not all quotes must come from the person who originally said it although sometimes this will be easier. I could just as easily have used that quote from someone else's lips, but Elaria fit the best. The quotes also don't necssarily have to be spoken. They can be anything so long as they come from the first 4 volumes of the Obernewtyn Chronicles
Min: Just the first four?
Tanya: [act]Jealously[/act] Yes just the first four, so if you receive your book before this part of the party is over, remember to be fair on those who won't receive theirs until the release date.
So get Role Playing and remember we want to see at least one Ober quote per post
Happy Posting!

Bec: [act]Calls Rushton's name quietly, while looking for him admist the disruption of the new location[/act] Rushton...
Rushton: [act]Hides behind the gypsy caravan[/act]
Bec: [act]Sneaks around the caravan[/act] Aha! [act]Grabs Rushton[/act]
Rushton: Why do you plague me?
Bec: [act]Grins[/act] Is there a pool here?
Meanwhile...
EI: [act]Sits next to the newly made fire[/act]
Bec: *still has hold of Rushton's arm* Buffy AND Ober references? I'm going to be busy...
Dom: Please, Bec, who in the name of Lud is Buffy?
Bec: Go ask a technoguilder. They might know. *turns attention back to Rushton*
Rushton: *coolly* Let's not do anything rash...
Bec: I'm rash and impulsive. It's a flaw.
*A passing gyspsy stumbles into Bec, knocking her over and breaking her hold on Rushton*
Rushton: *bolts*
Fangirls: *spot him and follow*
Dom: *helps her up* Are you alright?
Bec: *brushing off dirt* Five by five, D.
Dom: *chooses to ignore this remark and goes to run after Rushton*
Bec: No! Don't worry, we can wait.
Dom: Are you crazy? We'll never get him away from the fangirls. We had him!
Bec: Sometimes success demands a certain refined insanity.
Dom: *rolls eyes*
Bec: And Dom, why are you even helping me? Usually this is pretty much my lone crusade against evil.
Dom: I have my reasons...

Hannai: *panting catches up with rig*
Finally! Ive been chasing this party for about 50 km!
that will show me to be late wont it? I just had so much trouble picking an outfit.
however I have a strange desire for rushton to see me dressed this way...
BTW running in these boots is murder!
Someone pass me a drink!
Min: [act]climbs out of rig with a stack of books[/act]
Ceirwan: [act]peering over shoulder[/act] What are those?
Min: The story of your life :D
Ceirwan: o_O ?
Min: [act]flips pages[/act] Hmm...if only I had a mirror. No. Wait, that was something else :P
Elspeth-as-Elaria: Ceir! Where have you been hiding?
Ceirwan: [act]innocently[/act] I'd never hide from you, Guildmistress-dearest.
Elspeth-as-Elaria: [act]missed Ceir's tone[/act] Well, thank Lud for that - look, here, can you help me with these quotes? I don't have time to find any--
Min: [act]reading, but watching[/act] Amazing - you know, technically by you being here, speaking, that's a quote...right?
Tanya: [act]giggles[/act] Wrong :P !
Elspeth-as-Elaria: [act]double-takes, then turns back to Ceirwan[/act] Okaay, well, could you do this for me? Please?
Ceirwan: :) of course. Go...do whatever it is you have to do.
Elspeth-as-Elaria: [act]grateful[/act] Thanks, Ceir. I'll be back in a couple of hours for the list.
[act]Elspeth-as-Elaria hurries back into the lead rig and locks the door[/act]
Tanya: [act]blinks after Elspeth[/act] What is she doing in there?
Min: [act]handing Ceir a book[/act] One warrior will carry another, if the strength of one proves greater, right?
Ceirwan: :) ... [act]turning pages[/act] this feels weird...
Tanya: And it's certainly not the party spirit this thread's supposed to have! [act]takes books out of Min & Ceir's hands and locks them in a trunk attached to the rig[/act]
Min: What did you do that for?!
Tanya: Because I wanted to... Now - to the bonfire!

Firefall: [act]meanders into clearing looking decidedly lost[/act] Thank Lud! Civilisation!
[act]Rushton bolts past pursued by shrieking fangirls[/act]
[act]Bec and Dom stalk after him, hiding behind fake bushes and wearing false moustaches as disguise[/act]
[act]A cluster of Obernetters dance around a large bonfire[/act]
Firefall:...Never mind.
Garth: [act]appears from somewhere and starts complaining to Elspeth[/act] We've been following this rig around for days now. I haven't even had a chance to get out my research.
Elspeth-as-Elaria: I have a plan that would enable us to stay here, though it will still have to be voted on. [That's a quote from page 396 of TKP, in case you're wondering :P]
Tanya: Oh, no you don't. We have a schedule!
Garth: I thought we were gypsies, free to travel as we willed.
Tanya: You may travel as freely as you like. As long as you don't interfere with the schedule.
Firefall: [act]is flipping desperately through a copy of Obernewtyn in search of a fitting quote[/act] Aw, dangit, I can't...
Elspeth: I'm starved. Can we eat before we quote?
Ceirwan: What a terrible lot of cynics we are nowt to think of that first.
Firefall: Ah-ha! Thankyou, Ceirwan. [act]slams book closed[/act]
Tanya: [act]points at trunk[/act] Book. In trunk. Now.
So which rig has the bar? Please not the one Elspeth-as-Elaria just locked herself in... Im not sure who shes carrying but dont want to take that train of thought any further.. Funga mating so longwinded...

EI: I need my books :( Quotes are harder to think of than I thought...
Fake-bearded Rushton: Speak less and say more.
EI: You weren't the one that said that.
Fake-bearded Rushton: Says who?
EI: [act]Pulls off Rushton's disguise[/act] Says the books.
Rushton: She'll see me! [act]Runs and hides[/act]
EI: [act]Rolls eyes as Bec walks past stalking Rushton as usual[/act]
Dameon: [act]Runs into Rushton who is hiding behind a bush[/act]
Rushton: You don't know what an irony it would be if you betrayed me.
____________________________
Yay quotes lol
Ariana: I have heard it said more than once that you are a woman ruled by her mind to the detriment of her passions, Bec. But those who say so do not know you. It is clearly evident that you have a very strong passion, that you do not try to contain, for pushing Rushton into pools.
Bec: *flings hands into the air* That's it. Enough Rushton-stalking for now. Drink?
Dom: Lud, I thought you'd never ask.
Bec: Well, I realised that stalking Rushton is pointless. I don't want him to see me coming. I want him to relax, to get comfortable, to think I've lost interest them WHAM!
*claps hands loudly* I'll be there.
Dom: *jumps at the noise* Please, no sudden noises...it makes me edgy.
Bec: Sorry. I forgot about...well, you know. The Councilcourt and whatnot.
Dom: *face darkening* Sometimes you have to put up with a lesser evil in dealing with a greater one.
*there is a long, somewhat uncomfortable silence*
Bec: Well, that killed the mood.
Dom: There was a mood?
Bec: Of the sort of cheerful-consoloidarity-in-hunting-morons persuasion.
Dom: I see.
Bec: But not for me the furrowed brow. We were talking about drinks?
*they head over to the bar to join the majority of the crowd*
Tanya: Finished Rushton hunting?
Bec: Oh no. Not finished. I'm biding my time, waiting to pounce...
Dom: *waves over some drinks*
Firefall: How are you going to find him again?
Bec: I doubt it will be hard. He's not exactly Low-Profile guy.
*the distant, dulcet tones of a hundred squeeing fangirls drift to the ears of those gathered around the bar*
Min: I see what you mean.
*by the fire...*
Seramia: *dancing clumsily by fire with Selena,* woah... the trees are spinning! where are we? *giggling*
Selena: *watching skirts twirling while spinning in circles* No idea! what did they say was in that pink drink?
Seramia: fairy Floss! *collapses into more giggles and subsequently trips on her feet*
Swallow: woah, careful there, you're a swaying on your feet, sit down girl! you're next to the fire! *attempts to guide Seramia and Selena away from fire*
Seramia: no! my lights! pretty dancing lights! *gazes intently at fire*
Swallow: uh.. just don't touch
Seramia: you can't tell me what to do! you fed me liquid fairy floss! *tries to be indignant, but fails as can't quite focussed on Swallows face*
Swallow: *notices rushton sneak up and try to hide from Bec and squeeing fangirls behind twirling skirts of sugarhigh Selena and Seramia, and looks oddly at Rushton* Don't know if thats very safe there Rushton
Rushton: *voice slightly edging on hysteria* Safe? Safe? No wheres Safe! *starts muttering to self about pools*

Dom: *is staring into the depths of his Fement*
Bec: *nudging him* Are you alright?
Dom: I'm fine. *continues staring darkly into his glass*
Bec: Ah yes, because your good mood is both obvious and contagious...
Tanya: Don't think I don't know where you're getting all these lines from.
Bec: *innocent look* What lines? I draw them only from the depths of my psyche.
Tanya: *raises an eyebrow*
Dom: *snapping out of trance* Is this about that Boofy person again?
Bec: *snorts into drink* Boofy. I like it.
Dom: Who is she?
Bec: Think Elspeth but perkier, blonde and a lot more violent. But they're both pretty down with the world-savage.
Dom: *gives Bec a 'you're out of your mind' look* I see.
Min: So, any plans for Rushton meeting the pool?
Bec: *evil laugh* Oh yes...I will have him...just when he lowers his guard I will be there. And he will rue the moment when he decided to push me in.
Tanya: *quietly* Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat...
Bec: Oy! That's my job! :p
Ceriwan: *curiously* What's a tugboat?

*Zieria enters as Zanth the gypsy and wanders over to Matthew, who appears to have been tired out by the dancing, and is sitting by the fire*
Matthew: Greetings, Zanth.
Zanth: Greetings.
Matthew: Would you like to try some of Grufyyd's new ferment?
Zanth: I guess so. Maybe one day I'll actually find a brew I like...
Matthew: *hands mug to Zanth*
Zanth: *tastes ferment and pulls a face* Well, I'd say you wouldn't die from living on this, but living won't be much fun either.
Grufyyd: *appearing out of nowhere* I never said that anyone could live on it.
Zanth: Oh, but I thought... er, don't worry.
Grufyyd: *sounding upset and defensive* Well, I think it's a better brew than my last.
Zanth: *mutters to Matthew* Did I try that one?
Matthew: *whispers loudly to Zanth* I think ye said it was enough tae make yer blood curdle.
Zanth: *drags Matthew away from Grufyyd, who's looking hurt* Matthew, I think I see Alad over at the bar. I heard he wanted to talk to us...
