Said while discussing the possibility of a new IST Alice Springs game (that's our joke character location).

Chaos: “Kay wouldn’t buy beastspeech, but she’d be able to understand her dinos.”
Mark: “Why buy ‘speak with animals’ when all you need is ‘delusion?’”
Bobb: “Is that because the dinos she summon only exist in her mind?”
Chaos: “Possibly.”

Yep.

Back during the last ice age, when I was setting the game, I just saw this city, out in the middle of the outback, and figured "hey, that would be a great place to put the useful, but potentially dangerous supers." As this was before the Internet, I didn't have a lot of information on what was out there.

Ever since, it has been an in-group reference to supers that, while an interesting idea, have something about them, either their actual powers, personality, or past history are quite comedic. Basically, our semi-serious joke characters.

They could take part in/sabotage the Henley-on-Todd Regatta. The only regatta that is occasionally cancelled because the Todd river has uncharacteristically flowing water...

That is hilarious, because the first badguy they ever beat was a guy who had been permanently turned into body of water, and his shape was held by him consciously controlling his surface tension. They knocked him out and he made a break for the sewers. No one brought a sponge.

Running Gag: "HE'S GETTING AWAY!"
Dinokid: "He's unconscious, how is he getting away?"
Running Gag: "HE'S FLOWING TOWARD THE SEWER!"
Dinokid: "Well, lap him up, wolf-girl."
Running Gag: "BUT HE TASTES BAD!"
Dinokid: "Afraid you'll live up to the 'Gag' portion of your name?"

(Running Gag is very excitable. And loud. She's a nine-foot-tall combat-werewolf with little self-control.)

And, uh, these came up today:

Jesse: “What happened?”
Jasmine: “I think Rio has become the avatar of an ancient, forgotten God. I am now her slave.”
Jesse: “Uh, what?”
Jasmine (OOC): “What? Did I stutter?”

--

Mark: “Oh, no. I don’t want that. That frigate has defective torpedo tubes.”
Bobb: “It’s had its tubes tied?”

Again, my character. Yes, there is a “coincidence” of many of my characters being excitable. And loud. But in her case, in her defense, she IS the avatar of Coyote.....

Discord chat, talking over some of the things that have happened in a setting that's been running since 1975:

"If you have an unwanted god in need of a good home, Storm is always a good person to ask."
