Dworkin's Funeral

The Cast:

Kira, daughter of Deirdre – played by Amy Edwards
Colette, daughter of Flora – played by Ian Goodwin
Kitty, daughter of Gerard – played by Stephanie McMechan
Jack, son of Random – played by John Nienart
Rowan, son of Julian – played by Jack Schleick
Link, son of Caine – played by Jarrod Van Kirk
GM – Jennifer Zimmerman

The Quotes:

NOTE: I started taking quotes, but this game got very crazy (but still very fun) after we lost the Elders and I was way too busy trying to figure out the mystery to write anything down.

Everyone shows up for breakfast the day of Dworkin’s funeral.
Rowan: Check to make sure, did Jack remember his pants?

We begin discussing the nondescript man who deposited Dworkin’s body at Castle Amber.
Bleys: You think Death dropped Dworkin off?

After the family meeting but before the funeral, everyone has a little preparation to do.
Rowan: I’m gonna check in with Random, see if he’s going to wear his formal sweats to the funeral.
Random: Uh, no, the blind lady picked out an outfit for me.

Jack looks for someone to take a run down to the city with.
Jack: Time for a quick workout, anyone?
Kitty: Workout? You?
Jack: …yeah.

Kira asks Rowan if he can think of a way to gather information on Dworkin’s demise.
Rowan: One word: séance. Old guy’s died… we make a Ouija board…

Some people want to look at the corpse.
GM: Do you do anything hinky with the body?

At the funeral, Dworkin’s body sits up.
Dworkin: Wretches, scoundrels, the vomitus of my creation.
Rowan: Link, I think he’s talking to you.

Rowan trumps first Link and then Colette, while they are sleeping off the exhaustion of dispersing Fiona’s magical wards from around the Primal Pattern.
Colette: What are you doing in my dream?
Rowan: I wanted to know what you’re doing.
Colette: I’m sleeping.

Trading Shadows

Note: The quotes are almost entirely from the Rebma set, where Brand, Jasra and Mandor were working. They have more to do with the personalities of the players than with the actual point/tone of the game.

THE CAST

Florimel, the Amberite Designer – played by Carla Arnoldi
Mandor, the Chaosian Designer – played by Andi Blija
Random, Amberite Homeowner – played by Linda Cottrell
Brand, Chaosian Homeowner – played by Amy Edwards
Jasra, Chaosian Homeowner – played by Karrin Jackson
Vialle, Amberite Homeowner – played by Karen Wells
GM – Leslie Lightfoot

THE QUOTES (in no order)

Mandor and Jasra discuss ways to spice up Rebma.
Mandor: Turn the sand into tapioca beads that look like fish eggs.
Jasra: They could be eggs for something.
Mandor: Like what? Like anything.
Jasra: What would be the hour equivalent for surprise me?

Combination of Brand, Jasra and Mandor in a room leads to some uncomplimentary observations.
Jasra: Fiona is the fag hag of which all other fag hags are but shadows.

Brand doubts the taste of a redhead who wears red and orange together.
Brand: Bleys is working on my house?
Andi: And somehow, a lightning bolt comes out of nowhere and kills Bleys.

One of Jasra’s ideas is to change the social structure of Rebma from a matriarchal society to something resembling Gor.
Host: Looks like an interesting carpentry day.
Karrin: (as Dworkin) I have five thousand sluts to make.

Brand and Jasra are to be the new gods of Rebma. They consider whether or not to allow Mandor into the pantheon as a messenger god.
Jasra: (on Mandor) … the gayest god of them all.

Jasra still appreciates the artistic design.
Jasra: You can’t go wrong with Aztec soul.

Mandor can’t leave the room for long before the other two make jokes.
Jasra: I bet (Bleys and Mandor) are really harmonious – and by that I mean having gay sex.

Moire attempts to assassinate Jasra. Brand is strangely not interested in immediate revenge.
Brand: (on Moire) I was going to mindrape her, but I can just do it the other way.
[I meant by making the design really uncomfortable, by the way]

Not all trust and fuzzy feelings on the Rebma set.
Jasra: We love you, Mandor.
Brand: Yes, we do.
Jasra: You’re our friend.
Mandor: I… don’t believe you.

See what I mean?
Jasra: (to Mandor) Don’t you stab me, you little bitch.

Due to finagling with the rules, time was not supposed to be a problem, but Brand’s bad moods slow the time in Rebma back to normal. Deciding on a preference between the Gor culture and changing the water to oxygenated gel:
Jasra: I don’t care if they can breathe as long as they’re enslaved.

Getting outside help from minions is against the rules (except where it says otherwise on the character sheet), but what about incorporating people or parts of people (read souls) into the design?
Host: Yeah, human material is fine.

On homework.
Mandor: (Jasra and Brand) are working on pain tonight.

We get some guests in watch us work.
Chris Lightfoot: (on our design) It’s featherlicious!

Mandor describes his style.
Mandor: It’s Chaos flair, honey.

Jasra is sometimes a fan and sometimes not.
Jasra: Mandor and his cute.

The badmouthing (and the innuendo) continues.
Jasra: (on Mandor) I don’t think the curtains match the carpet.
Brand: You know from past experience?
Jasra: Please. You think he’s gonna go barking up that tree?

After finishing Mandor’s project, but only an hour into Flora’s, Dworkin gets bored and takes off.
Flora: What did you do with (Dworkin)?
Mandor: I find it an amazing compliment that you actually think I could do something to Dworkin.

Suspecting the wrath of Brand, Mandor isn’t certain he wants to be present for the reveal.
Andi: I was going to save my trick for when we go to the Keep of the Four Worlds. Leave a body double there to die in the explosion.

During homework, Brand injures himself with a glue gun.
Andi: He probably put the glue gun in his mouth… now he’s the primal mushmouth.
Amy: And if you even look at him funny when he says anything, your brain explodes.

The basic idea of the Quetzlcorebma design is revenge on Moire.
Brand: No one harpoons my wife but me.

Jasra is good at this sort of thing.
Jasra: Start making pain.

No one can say that Mandor isn’t creative. After drugging Bleys enough that he is incapacitated so that he can no longer do work for Flora…
Mandor: We could have this flailing, naked Bleys like in a lava lamp… that’ll be my personal touch.

Our projects are over, but we still want to use up carpentry time so Flora can’t have it.
Mandor: ‘Cause Dworkin likes Brand. I’ll just say, “It’s not for me, baby, it’s for Brand.”

Sharu Garrul can help Jasra with carpentry, so we put him on the Gor project.
Jasra: (singing, as Sharu Garrul) Working on the slut mines…

Brand appreciates the idea of Bleys in a lava lamp, but isn’t too keen on the naked part.
Jasra: Let’s get some dancing girls in front of that. Your god doesn’t want to see that shit.

After being expressly forbidden by Brand, Jasra and Mandor decide to cut corners anyway so as to incorporate the final touches of the design. Things go horribly wrong and they turn on each other.
Jasra: (to Mandor) Are you pointing that glue gun at me?

More of same.
Mandor: You can just keep slapping me. At this point, the endorphins are making me high.

The Host comments that no one has utilized throw pillows. Mandor has an explanation.
Mandor: Brand is all about cold, hard stone.

As we head to the reveal:
Host: Do you need your balls, Mandor?

Son of A Bitch Must Pay

THE CAST

Arien du Val, bodyguard and lover of Bleys - played by Amy Edwards
Dmitri, son of Julian – played by Erik Florentz
Geoffrey, steward of Amber – played by Don Ide
Shogo – played by Harvey Mills
Nuin, daughter of Sand – played by Katherine Nyborg
GM – Madeline Ferwerda

THE QUOTES

We begin with a quick description of our supporting cast.
GM: (on Julian) He’s very enamored of his self control.

Corwin returns to Amber after having been imprisoned by Dara.
Corwin: So any of you think of pulling me out of prison this time?
Random: Well, I kind of had a kingdom to run. Half of reality.

The welcome home party is strained at best.
GM: Corwin’s very bitter. He’s good at being bitter.

Arien and Bleys got poor service during the reception. Afterwards, when she isn’t looking, he reverts to his usual ways.
GM: Bleys is goosing the occasional serving maid. Some of them giggle, some of them glare.
Arien: No wonder the wait staff hates us.

There was a notable absence at dinner.
GM: Llewella did not appear.
Nuin: Smart woman.
GM: Yeah, well. She’s too busy being moist and sad.

After dinner, Corwin announced his intention to walk the Pattern. Afterwards, there was commotion, and people began to meet up in the library to discuss events.
Nuin: I headed to the library after dinner. Is it now going to be filled with people… or at least booze?

Corwin gave his siblings (and Dara) a blood curse from the center of the Pattern.
Dmitri: So Corwin did some more of his typical badmouthing and then burst into flames and something came out of him?

Gerard didn’t understand why anyone would want to curse him.
Nuin: God, a maudlin Gerard!

At the library meeting, to show what he thought of him, Julian dropped his pants and mooned Random.
Dmitri: You know, there aren’t a lot of times to do this, so I’m going to throw a dagger at his ass.

Benedict came down with his cadre of guardsmen to take care of the riots that started over rumors of the curse.
Geoffrey: (pointing at Shogo) It’s his mob now.

Sent by Random to gather Bleys, Arien found Flora and Bleys having sex. She killed Flora and mutilated Bleys’ face.
Arien: I wipe off my sword.
GM: On the sticky sheets.

After the violent event, Arien made her way to Random to confess, figuring Bleys would say who had wounded him anyway. Geoffrey found this action hard to understand.
GM: You could intercept (Arien) and ask her.
Geoffrey: That’s the plan so far. I’m pretty sure she won’t kill me.

More insane by the minute, Julian put Morgenstern’s head on a stick and was riding it down the halls of Amber.
Julian: Boy, this horse sure was my hobby.

Dmitri arranged for a huge party to calm the riots, but started them up again by killing someone who didn’t think Julian would be a suitable king. Nuin calmed the mob with her psyche (or her Jedi mind tricks).
Harvey: This is not the riot you were looking for.

Random trumps Dmitri about the riots. Dmitri’s phrasing leaves something to be desired.
Random: So who’s leading this fucking thing?
Dmitri: Well, me at the moment.

People are dying left and right, and most of us have vendettas to take care of (or that we’ve already taken care of). Geoffrey’s getting everything he wants.
Nuin: Yeah, we’re all a little ticked off.
Geoffrey: Except for me. I’m doing fine.

Julian is nuts and his son is carting him around to avoid him getting killed.
Don: (on Dmitri) The man with the gibbering Julian.

Dmitri walks the Pattern to administer a blood blessing (to counteract the curse), in the hopes that Fiona, who is with him, will do likewise. After the blessing, however, he envisions going where Corwin went.
Don: Does (Dmitri) burst into flames?
Erik: I think I probably do.
