Fabius Maximus on Spacebattles Wrote:Just as one comment. I was watching [Monty Python and the Holy Grail] with a lot of people who had never seen it before. So the last gerat event was a surprise. And then one teenaged girl, looked at her family with wide eyes and said: "That really wasn't Arthur--it was just a bunch of SCA players who got high and were rampaging around Great Britain."

"Shidi, you recently traveled through the Gāoyóu lowlands, correct? Did you encounter anything strange?"
Liu Qingge thought about it, then shook his head. "No, it was pretty quiet. There was a plant monster, but we took care of it. Why?"
He Qian sifted through a stack of reports before apparently finding the one he was after. "Did anyone mention ghost activity? There are reports of a beautiful sword spirit appearing at dawn near Xièjiǎ town," he explained. "But no confirmation."
Liu Qingge shook his head. "No, we stayed in an inn there, and I was outside in the morning, doing my warmups. I didn't sense anything unclean."
"Mystery solved, then." He Qian made a mark on a report while Liu Qingge frowned in puzzlement.

Quote:"I brought yer sommat," the huge green man told him, before digging about in the pockets of his greatcoat for a bit. "Little humie like yer 'aven't got the muscle to handle much dakka yet, but a bit o' hackin' and sawin' and I fink I got 'un that'll see ya right 'till ya get on a bit in yer wierdboy trainin'... Ah, 'ere we go!"
The... weapon... Hagrid produced bore some faint resemblance to Uncle Vernon's shotgun, before it had been tied into a knot, but only just. It seemed to be about three times bigger around in the part were the bullets would come out, and clearly bore the marks of some vigorous tinkering in dents, gouges, patches wrapped with silvery tape, and featured unevenly sawed surfaces on both ends. It was just barely light and small enough with those modifications that he could keep it relatively stable when he tried holding it in a similar ready position as he'd seen people do on the telly.
It was hardly the first thing he'd have thought of when someone mentioned wizards, but Harry had to admit that it was bloody wicked.
Sadly, the 40k/HP fic Heavy Pewter and the Sod-Off Shoota does not exist on the current year internet, and this quote file snippet is all that I have.

Quote:"Well…" Ranma finally spoke up. "We… uhh… I tried something different while we were stuck in our hospital room. To… make Ryo feel better. I tried ki sharing with him."
Doctor Hirano raised an eyebrow, confused a moment, then blinked and nodded. "Ah, yes. That's a… hmmm… Shinto thing? Yes, well…" He took off his glasses and started polishing them. "While I respect your beliefs, and I realize they are quite real to you, I'm afraid that in the interests of your medical well-being I must insist we pursue all scientific avenues of explanation. I have seen many so called 'miracles' attributed to faith-healing, only for said effect to merely be…"
Ranma sighed, held up her left hand and concentrated for a moment, summoning a small but bright ball of ki.
Doctor Hirano's glasses dropped from suddenly nerveless fingers.
"Look! Science!" Ranma said brightly.

Quote:"Hold on now. I might be insane, but I'm hardly deluded, you Borg-tube'd looking motherfu-" Mary began to speak as she finally turned her attention to the sight before her. "The hell?"
Horus followed her gaze, curious as to what had caught her attention, before he had an epiphany. He chuckled, catching sight of her eyes displaying an exaggerated caricature of confusion.
"Ah. Of course. The greater symbolism of the Sea of Souls eludes a base and dimwitted creature such as yourself." Horus crowed triumphantly, gesturing to the table before him.
Mary stared in utter dismay and befuddlement at the sight of a half-painted diorama of Lupercal's court, complete with scaled miniatures of the occupants of the room. She drank in the details, internally screaming over the fact Horus was a-fucking-parently painting 32 millimeter scale models while he was waiting for them.
