Let's play a game of "Who said that?"

[CourtneyLee]

I think we should play a game. Here's how it works: post a quotation from ITL, preferably dialogue but narrative could work in some circumstances. Someone who knows/thinks they know who said that will post the name of the speaker and, if they want, which chapter/situation they said it in. When their answer is confirmed by the person who posted the quote, they get to post a new quotation and the game continues. Got it? Fab. Here we go.

This one's pretty easy:

I really believe in making a tasteful presentation, you know.  My father always told me and my brothers to put our best feet forward, and I think that my feet are at their best with a nice pedicure and a stylish shoe.

[Mountie]

Oh that was Anosadim to Bade when he was taking Bade around the for the Bade with Anosanim and Talin day.  That would be arounf chapter 7.  I'll need to loon. brb...

If I haven't come up in an hour come drag me out of the re-read.

OK so it wasn't there so I figured it had to be when Anosanim was having problems with the workers and was thinking about changing into his work boots on site.  But do you think that I can find it?  It has to be in chapters 70-80 cause that is when the issue came up.  I found Desin ranting about losing one o his workers to the exudous of people leaving to go work with the competition.  But no Anosanim musing. 

[CourtneyLee]

It is Anosanim, and you don't have to find where it came from if you're absolutely sure of who said it, but if you really want to find it, here's a hint: Satatunin.

Don't forget to post a new quotation, Mountie.

[Mountie]

Ah yes, when he was with Talin and Hitari.  I wanted to get the  first.

OK her's the quote:

“I don’t have any flaws.” ... “I’m literally flawless.”

Hint: Presents

[CourtneyLee]

That was totally Rini. I don't know where he said that but I'm sure it was him, so I'm just gonna post another:

“People here believe that stepping on three spiders before midnight is good luck...All it’s ever given me is a mess to clean up.”

[Mountie]

  That's totally Bade.  IIRC he and Vade were discussing superstitions or something.

OK new quote:

“That news surprises me,” ... “I expect that it would surprise my brothers, as well.  Prince Anosanim in particular would be shocked.”

[LilacMajesty]

That would be Orinakin to Bade, in a discussion on what men do and do not do - in this case, cry in public.

[CourtneyLee]

That's totally Bade.  IIRC he and Vade were discussing superstitions or something.

[Mountie]

That would be Orinakin to Bade, in a discussion on what men do and do not do - in this case, cry in public.

Close Liz... It was a comment to Bade you are right.  And it was a discussion about crying in public.  Another speaker though.

[CourtneyLee]

Was it Kudorin?

[LilacMajesty]

OMG It was Kudorin!  Shame on me!

[Mountie]

  They got it!!!  Now which ever one of you returns first can post the next quote.

[CourtneyLee]

I just read this one and found it funny, not to mention totally characteristic of the two who are having the conversation.

“Does it threaten you, suddenly to have a younger, sexier, more powerful younger brother?”

PS: I modified the rules a bit to say that a guess has to be confirmed by the person who posted the quote. Otherwise you get people *cough*me*cough* assuming they're right and looking silly.

[Mountie]

That was Selorin to Vade, cause Vade is a third born son and Selorin is 4th born

*runs off to find a quote*

OK I am back

            “Anorians are so jolly about everything, even their portraits are happy.  This really is a suspiciously free-spirited group of people.”

[CourtneyLee]

Oh, I read that not to long ago! Vade said that to Bade when Bade told him they had to smile when they sat for portraits at the Royal House of Art. It was in the sweet spot after Orinakin and Bade's wedding but before they left for their trip.

Let's see....

“I made the list,”

[Mountie]

You must have just read that chapter recently with re-read #4?  Chapter 72

OK that quote was from Vade when he discovered at the party the list of the top 20 gay available males in the world.  I can't off the top of my head remember the name but Orinakin sure had fun ribbing him.

OK I need to find a quote.  I will be back... *runs*

  I got sidetracked into the new chapter again.  OK here is the quote:

... of course I’m right.  I’m always right.  You’re very blessed to have such a wise and knowing brother.

[CourtneyLee]

Selorin?

[Mountie]

    Where's your quote?

[CourtneyLee]

I wasn't sure it was Selorin. LOL Here you go:

“Hasemo’s hot for your ass.  You should let him fuck you.  I can always tell when it’s been too long since you’ve taken it, you get that pinched look between your eyebrows.”

[Mountie]

That was Desin to Selorin when Orinakin and Bade were first gone.  When he and Selorin picked up the 2 guys at the Festival.

*runs off looking for another quote*

            “Thank you for making fun of me.” ... "Is there anything else that you’d like me to know about myself?”

[Mountie]

No guesses?

That was Bade to Kudorin when Kudorin made him look at his base sensual nature under the tree in the courtyard the time they had breakfast together.

I will go find an easier one.  

I don’t want to sit and smile and shake hands and act friendly when I know how much they hate us.  And I don’t want to waste my time fixing everything once they try to ruin us.”

[CourtneyLee]

That was definitely Desin talkling about Jacacea.

Here's a funny one:

“My darling prince, where is your elder half?”

[Mountie]

Hehehehehehehe... that was Orinakin talking to Vade when he and Bade switched so Bade could spend the night masturbating after Orinakin wouldnt let him come before they left for Jacacea.  That was just MEAN Orinakin.

OK I need to find a new one then.

Orinakin... you should have said this before you left Orina Anoris, then you would have been greeted by Bade when you got back to your room. 

“I must go,” ... “but would you like to engage in sexual activity before I do?”

[CourtneyLee]

Xio Voe to Kudorin, but I'm not sure when.

“I can’t imagine you with a knife in one hand and a wriggling fish in the other.”

[Mountie]

I was thinking it was Rini when he and T'rin talked about going to the river but I can't find it there.    I may have to pass this one by CL.  I am pretty sure t was Rini but I could be wrong.

[CourtneyLee]

It was way back in chapter 9. Bade and Orinakin were in a carriage on the way to see Selorin at trial and Orinakin was telling Bade that he and his brothers were taught some of each other's requirements. Orinakin said he knew how to scale a fish and Bade responded with that.

Here's one that's a lot more recent:

“Shut up and stick with moaning like a wounded beast,”

[Mountie]

   LOL that has to have been said to Bade or Vade.  I'll go check out the orgy's.

[CourtneyLee]

Not even close. 

[Mountie]

Gotcha   *heads out to look over the D/s scene with Talin and Blank*

[CourtneyLee]

Getting warmer...

[Mountie]

Oh right!  Selorin to Desin when he was teaching Keli to...

Next one then    I don't know if we have had a quote from this character yet.

            “I’m…dumbfounded,” ... “I was prepared to defend my decision, I was braced for public disapproval.  I wasn’t ready for this.”

Nope we haven't.

[CourtneyLee]

Remin! When he was talking about the public response to his firing of Namidakeli.

“Call to them...Make them come to you,”

[Mountie]

I first thought that was from Desin and Talin's conversation about taming the wolf and Hitari but though the thought was similar it wasn't a direct quote.

Now I will have to think about it.

[CourtneyLee]

Hint: bride

[Mountie]

  Thanks! *runs off to be absolutely certain I have it right*

[Mountie]

Nope nt in the wedding practice, I am now searching the Brides Lament.  You thought I'd be able to stop reading once I got there?  Shame on you CL!

[CourtneyLee]

I thought you'd be thanking me for giving you an excuse to read it again. 

[Mountie]

OMG!!!

I found it!!!  I found it!!!!

Oh Yes!  Thank YOU CL 

Here is my next offering.

             It can be a lot of fun to have lustsex with someone who doesn’t understand a word you’re saying.  You have to find new, fun ways to communicate.”

*runs off for a cold shower*

 

I forgot to say that Bade said it to Orinakin I was so flustered.

[Shanghi]

*runs off to look*

[Shanghi]

Okay in 61 Rini to Bade & Vade. 

Next quote:

“I can’t go to the pharaoh for this!”

[Mountie]

  OMG!  That was Vade when Rini shrunk his penis.  I think the response was... "Would you rather go and see Remin?"

*runs off to look for a quote*

“So the only reason I’m not bathed in cum right now is that I love my work, and I’m picky?”

[Shanghi]

Anosanim......in discussion with Talin as to why he didn't have a boyfriend.

Next one:

“If I’d been here, with you, last night, what would you have done to me?”

[Mountie]

Hmmm... that sounds like Kudorin to Xoe Voe.   But I am not sure I'll have to check.

[Mountie]

OK it is not Xoe Voe and Kudorin.   

And I pestered Shanghi on IM with suppositions as to who could it be?  Rini and T'rin after Rini spent the night away from T'rin tossing and turning, Bade to Orinakin, after Vade and him switched places in Jacacea, during the week before the wedding when Bade and Orinakin couldn't engage in sex?  I ruled out Talin and Hitari or Anosanim and Ritek, cause i couldn't remember either of them being in a place where they could have.

Shanghi  at me the whole time and when I agreed to a hint, she gave: Bela and I still was lost.  So she gave me a second hint: painting.  And I had the right area but the wrong, scene, the wrong belam and the wrong bela.  I got the Prince right though!

After leading me to the scene, I admitted defeat.  It was Tukaro, to Rini, when Rini took Bade to see the painting.

So I am leaving the next quote to Shanghi and requesting she make it easier on me.

[Shanghi]

I'll try....

"I’ve been going over this in my head for weeks, months now, the good, the bad, the pros, the cons, but no one ever cared, no one ever asked, every time I tried to get a word in I was waved away.  You know how no one listens to me.”

[Mountie]

  Oh I was just looking at the first part of that statement earlier today as a possible quote too.  when Vade started it in chapter 60 he said: “I was so nervous I almost shit myself,”

The quote Shanghi used was the words immediately afterwards.  Vade was talking to Tiko about his defence of Bade and Orinakins marriage.  It is what turned the tables so that  Mindo and Wirra agreed.

Bad was so happy when he talked to Orinakin afterwards and they still couldn't have sex to celebrate.

OK my quote now. 

We need boyfriends like cows need forks.  Don’t waste your time.”

[Shanghi]

That's got to be Desin...*runs off again*

[Mountie]

You ar right it is Desin.  So all you need now is a quote.

[Mountie]

Shanghi IM'd me one as she ran out the door this morning to work.

This one is for  any ITL'er or CL to solve as I am heading for work soon.

“Yeah,” he said, in the least convincing tone ... had ever heard.  “I’m all ready for my last-minute, late-night, surprise visit.”

[CourtneyLee]

That was to when was trying to get rid of so that could have a plausible excuse for keeping with him so that wouldn't go open a can of Anorian whoop-ass on Xio Voe for making cry.

Okay, another funny one:

“I would urge you to sheathe your sword.”

[Mountie]

That was Xoe Voe to Vade when he was discussing the "educational" meeting with the Jacacean student.

OK one more before I run to work since it is Friday and the chapter should be posted when I get home.

“It resembles your betrothed?”

[CourtneyLee]

Finding that one was fun.  That was Jekari to Orinakin in reference to a toy they'd used during one of Orinakin's trips to the belam before his wedding when Bade's father said they couldn't cohabitate or have sex.

Let's see...

“Take one deep breath and two steps back, Diki.”

[lilbitofchaos]

 

[CourtneyLee]

Hint: metallic

[Shanghi]

Found it! it was Remin to Selorin about Vade. part  106.

Remin’s calm, authoritative voice said, from behind him, “Take one deep breath and two steps back, Diki.”

[Shanghi]

Okay now for another quote:

“Behiko.  He’s just begging for a spanking.”

[CourtneyLee]

*fans self* That was Rini to Desin at the Bride's Lament.

Pardon me while I go take a cold shower.





Okay, I'm back. Um...

“There was a moment,” ... said quietly.  “The night that you proposed.  When you knew that it wouldn’t last.”

[Shanghi]

That was Kudorin to Talin pt 141.

“There was a moment,” Kudorin said quietly.  “The night that you proposed.  When you knew that it wouldn’t last.”

Now for the next one.....

“Mighty?”..................................  “You got any other words for it?”

[CourtneyLee]

I'm pretty sure that was Desin talking to a bela. They spoil him with flattery. LOL

Here's a fun one:

“Gods above, I need some more of that.  Let’s go raid the lesis belam and have a little fun.”

[lilbitofchaos]

“Gods above, I need some more of that.  Let’s go raid the lesis belam and have a little fun.”

Lokelon to Adu after they had sex with  !!!
chapter 121

[lilbitofchaos]

ok here goes...

“And I’d prefer it if sunshine were edible, “but we don’t always get everything we ask for.”

[CourtneyLee]

That was most certainly Kudorin when Remin(?) wondered if the Jacaceans would prefer the pre-Orina Anoris trip Xio Voe to the one that walked through The Door.

Next quote:

“I would’ve given him high marks for the words alone, but the delivery?  I loved it.”

[Mountie]

I need to check it out but it was Desin and Rini talking about Xoe Voe and Kudorin saying goodbye at the door after they were engaed. It was Desin who said that.

Nope close but not the opening.  I'll need to go hunt now.

  So it was Anikira in the very next sentence lilbitofchaos so kindly found it for me. 

So lilbit gets to post the next quote

[lilbitofchaos]

k....here we go again 

You’re going to find a way, aren’t you?”

[Mountie]

OK, any ideas CL & Shanghi? 

I can think of a couple of instances and a couple of characters that could have said this.

Kudorin and Talin, Talin to Anosanim, Selrin to Orinakina about Bade.

Any suggestions on where to start looking?

[lilbitofchaos]

hint....one of your guess is correct

[CourtneyLee]

No clue. Sorry. I'm all today.

[Mountie]

We are going to have to leave the searching up to Shanghi then.  She has the day off. 

If I was to hazard a guess, I'd start looking through the chapters when Orinakin just discovered that he loved Bade and was thinking he may have to spend his life outside Orina Anoris with Bade being the King.

Hell  start at the begining and re-read the whole thing

[lilbitofchaos]

 

[LilacMajesty]

Talin to Anosanim, about the improving the mechanics of the balloons.

[Mountie]

So you going to provide us a quote to carry on with Liz?

[LilacMajesty]

OK  Here goes - "Shall we continue when you're not distracted by sex?"

[Mountie]

 

*goes to check out some suspected conversations*

[lilbitofchaos]

  talking to 

phew....chapter 19

[Mountie]

Oh Oh I remember now...

I imagine lilbit is off looking for a quote...
