It's been a while...

[jadedmusings]

We got to play our first session of Ivalice in weeks, and it got off to a hilarious start with banter between Nevena and the bad guy.

[21:13] <@Newbie_X> "But I must admit, Guildenstern, I will be very interested in crossing blades with you. Your family's stain has blackened the halls of Archades for generations too long."
[21:13] * +Wystan just chickles softly.
[21:13] <+Wystan> (( *chuckles ))
[21:13] <+Nevena`> "Where as yours has only stained your mother's dress."
[21:14] <+Lohste> "...*snfrk*!"
[21:14] <@Newbie_X> ((Okay, you know what? Nevena, take a TP for that. Owie.))
[21:14] * +Lohste coughs a few times.
[21:14] <Mija> "Niiiice."
[21:14] <+Lohste> "Poor fool. I've no remedy for venom such as that."

And then the boss turned into a giant monster tree and there were puns. So many puns. (From our OOC room.)

[21:23] <Mija> and thus the party spent the rest of the battle making tree puns
[21:24] <@Nevena`> Well, we ahve to keep to our roots.
[21:25] <Wystan> oh leave it alone.
[21:25] <Mija> and this is why I love you guys
[21:26] <@Newbie_X> Yeah, I think you're barking up the wrong tree with that last pun spelling, Sam.
[21:26] <Lohste> I know. I've been pining for this campaign to restart.
[21:26] <Wystan> has the other branch been running at all?
[21:27] <Lohste> I think they've gone to seed.
[21:27] <@Newbie_X> It's been thorny going, but they are continuing.

This is why I miss FFRPG and all my friends. :)

Trufax: the mate and I had ambitions once to run a PBEM game set just after Vagrant Story, based on our then-whacky theory that Ivalice and Valendia shared the same world, with VS being the distant future of Final Fantasy Tactics.

And then Final Fantasy XII came out and proved us right.

[jadedmusings]

Our campaign takes place about 50 years after XII and has VS (obviously) as happening in the distant past, with a couple of minor liberties taken (i.e. the fact that my character is a descendant of Romeo Guildenstern).

Okay, the tree puns were predictable, but the "mothers dress" part was a very good putdown.

[jadedmusings]

It was every so slightly OOC for my character to be that gross, but I was still pretty proud of it and thought it fit in perfectly. :)
