Vampire: the Masquerade - New York by Night OOC Thread

[KitanaVorr]

oh yeah...a nasty biologist with a penchant for literature...I can see a few pretty interesting things to do to my victims...er...subjects...

 

[KitanaVorr]

lol!

ok I am officially confused (as opposed to unofficially or usually)

Does anyone else notice this?

When Cate is friendly, Carrick gets standoffish, but when she becomes withdrawn he's suddenly Mr. Intimate. Its inconceivable that they could actually be on the same wavelength apparently...hehe...but even more boggling...

When Nathan is grumpy, Carrick is happy. When Nathan is happy, Carrick is grumpy. Have they ever been happy or grumpy at the same time? Cosmic coincidence or nefarious plot device by our storyteller?

Disclaimer: No criticism intended in above statements only cheery amusement at something noticed.

I think the universe just puts things together that way... 'like ships that pass in the night', no?

Seroiusly, read into it what you will (but I think they were kind of on the same level at the party, and at the start of this scene). Hey - maybe Cate brings out the maudlin in the Kindred.

Regards,

Barry

lol!!! Cate makes them tearfully sentimentally drunk? Well goodness, isn't that a humdinger of an affirmation! I've always wanted to play a walking alcoholic beverage (yes I get the pun)

 

[Catulle]

yes I get the pun

(horribly paraphrased, but still) "No, it's not a pun, it's a play on words."

If you haven't already, watch Ridicule (1996) - it's great, not to mention a decent source for V:tM.

Picky picky, Mr. Diction.

Yes, you're right, though. I couldn't think of the correct phrase. I'm a disgrace to English majors every where.

Hmm...looks like an interesting movie and sounds like something I would normally like to view.

Why is a great source for V:tM?

 

[Catulle]

Why is a great source for V:tM?

The whole atmosphere of the court with its bitchiness, attention to status and rewarding those who act in a stylish (but appropriate) fashion smacks heavily of the way the Camarilla operates (and the harpies most especially) to my mind. For the same reason, Dangerous Liaisons makes for good viewing, though the backstabbing comes across stronger in the latter.

PS - I don't think I was being 'picky', I think I was being 'pedantic'

 

[Shalimar]

If its the movie I am thinking of, its about the French Court leading up to the events of the reign of terror. It goes through a lot of their scheming and struggles to gain power and become useful to the prince.

Dangerous Liasons I have watched and liked quite a bit. So Ridicule I shall view, not you worry! For that kind of witty repartee I usually read books.

P.S. I would have said 'anal-retentive' but had thought 'picky' sounded better. However, I'll shall enthusiastically agree with pedantic!

I mean I do have a soft spot for muppets and all.

EDIT: I figured I should add that I do know what the british slang means

I haven't had much time to post OOC, but 2 quick questions:

1) Kitana - why did you post in Vietnemese, or Korean, or whatever language you used?

2) For the record, I have become lost with the exchanges between Carrick and Cate.
The phrasing has been..... too difficult to decipher quickly.
At least it's English, tho. LOL

But unless there's translators for the obfuscative English posts, or the foreign posts, than how is the reader supposed to gain anything from the read?
