crossover_chick | -D: All Right, Victoria?- (Reply)

-D: We know you're a kinetic thinker. That is, you tend to move around while you're formulating ideas. We are fine with that -- we tend toward the same behavior. However, we thought you had learned your lesson about RUNNING INTO THE WALL.-
-VD: You've very lucky you didn't hurt your wrist, you know.-
I'm sorry -- I watched too much funny, and now I'm hyper. *bounces*
-VD2: *shakes head* Some people have sugar highs? Our author? She gets LAUGHTER highs.-
-DW: You haven't gotten a lick of work done, you know. First it was TV Tropes, now it's you literally bouncing off the walls.-
Au contraire! I made some "V.D." edits just now. And I updated

revison_doc. Incidentally, why is it when I decide I need a break from the game that I get the strongest urge to play it?
-RPD: It's called irony, my dear. It runs the universe.-
I wouldn't be surprised. I resisted, though. Helps when you're distracted by funny TV shows.
-TD: My fic is languishing again!-
-HD: Actually, I don't think she's all that bad when she's like this. It makes it very hard for her to write angst.-
-WRM: Don't count your chickens before they've hatched, Doc. She's got the Changeling book open.-
-OD: *tentacles chatter* Can humor survive in the World of Darkness? Well, the setting may not be conducive to it, but I'm sure non-lethal Dramatic Failures might bring on laughter. It all depends on the player.-
Or the writer, in the case of those of us who do fanfiction based on RPGs. On that note, have some silliness based on my Alternate Continuity for

geno0823's crossover fic, "Midsommer Lost."

Notes: Doc is an Elemental Manikin -- a clockwork cyborg
Marty is a Fairest Muse
George is a Darkling Antiquarian (Geno and I figured it out last night)
Victor is a Darkling Gravewight (and visiting from another fandom)

(Upon introducing themselves officially to Victor)
Doc: I suppose you could just call me “The Doctor.”
Victor: Heh. Did you invent time travel then?
Doc: Actually, as a matter of fact, I did.
Victor: . . . . Is this some sort of joke on me because I’m English?
(Alternate punchline:
Victor: . . . Wait, the show was based on reality?!)

(Marty attempts to get Victor to use the “Boon of the Scuttling Spider” Contract)
Marty: Why can’t you just do that thing I’ve seen some of the other Darklings do – start racing along the walls?
Victor: Let me tell you something, Marty. In the battle between innate clumsiness and supernatural grace, innate clumsiness wins EVERY TIME.

Marty: (in front of a mirror) Do I do the evil queen bit here? You know, “Mirror Mirror on the wall?”

Random Other Changeling: Nice gloves. What are they made out of?
Doc: Dragonhide.
ROC: Dragonhide?
Doc: Yes, I was skeptical at first too. Then, during our escape, we met the dragon.

George: He’s doing a better job of being me than I did!
Marty: No he’s not!
George: He’s a published science fiction author.
Marty: . . . Okay, he’s doing a SLIGHTLY better job. . . .

Doc: Okay, in order to facilitate our hovercraft, we’re going to need an inflatable air mattress, a couple of fans, a rudder from a boat. . . .
Random Wizened: Huh. Newbie from the Hedge like you already knows Tatterdemalion’s Workshop?
Doc: What now?
Marty: He does crazy stuff like this all the time. It’s like a compulsion.
George: Yes, his exploits were legendary even when I was young.
Marty: His fetch seems to be the same way, really.
Random Wizened: . . . . YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO DO IT NATURALLY! (grumbles something about spending years learning it properly)

-D: *small smile, chuckle* Okay, those were a little funny.-
-TTV: *frowns at second one*-
You know it's true.
-TTV: Doesn't mean I have to like it.-
-OD: All right, is it out of your system?-
No, but I'll try and look over Chapter 3 of "Gift and Curse" anyway.
