Best Lines from Your NaNo (context optional)

So far, my favorite line of my NaNo is: "I don't know how long I stood there groping myself with clumsy hands."

What's your favorite line from your NaNo? :D

Sadly, I haven't managed anything particularly memorable as of yet, but I'm having some fun with the Fallout fic...



"What do you think Boone's doing right now, Eddie?"

If [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] sounds were spoken English, the words might've been something like, "Beep boop-boop bwazeep bzzt."

"Save for about four million people, the population of the Earth is alive for one reason alone: a couple of people fucked."

"This stuff isn’t coffee. It’s what they use to clean the phaser rifles. They just add something to it so that it tastes something like coffee.”

“...Well, I am sure that if I did have an affair, it would be with a very holy and wondrous man, like... like the Pope.” Efronvea nodded firmly. “And he wouldn’t do that in the first place.”

all my characters are named from captchas

"Well, you know what they say. If you can't be popular, at least be infamous."

...I think I might steal that idea, if you don't mind.

I don't really like any of the stuff I have written yet, but this line kinda amused me:

"If I didn't know you so well, maybe I'd be able to believe you."

“The kind of people who'd stick a red-hot poker in someone else's eye don't always stop at the socket, girl.”

and do tell us the results

Quote :

"He deserved it, Shepard," Donnelly piped up. "He's lucky Miranda didn't hack his location and send Grunt to stick his dick in his eye."

Or

Quote :

"Na, life would be too boring without you throwing us into impossible situations." Joker grinned. "Were gonna follow you where ever you go, Shepard. We're kind of like a fart that way."

....okay, must have context for that first one. God, I'm starting to think I blew my most interesting line in my ME fic in the first scene and the rest of the fic is doomed to mediocre normal-people dialog.

"Oh God."

"He's not here. If you want mercy, you better be askin' me."

I really like that one. Mind if I gank it in altered form for an RP?

I would be honored.

"Crime never sleeps, kid. I just gets really cranky and throws poo all over it's cage."

“Something tells me you’re not here to ask me to be your fourth in a game of canasta.”

Context

That was certainly some context. I should've expected a Gabby comment immediately afterwards, too. Much as I hate most attempts at novelizing chunks of the game for no real reason, I love it when the usual interactions get followed up on, even if they're a little predictable.

(Also I'm now thinking about Krogan teabagging. Batarians having the fetish more than anyone, of course. One for each eye.)

Quote :

“What’s a bard do?”

“A bard writes poetry, plays music, and fights monsters.”

"I don’t want to set the social progression in the Order back six hundred years or anything, but I think I’m a racist."

Context is a sex scene.

Quote :

“What do you think about... dressing up?”

“Like what? Barney?”

(This thread also makes me realize I haven't written anything cool in my whole NaNo thus far.)

"Alain cast a critical eye over his friend, or would have if he could remember the critical eye spell. Avery harrumphed and did it herself."

From a flashback sequence set in a magic school (not Hogwarts, but close).

Quote :

Gwyddno wasn't quite sure what to say to the other boy, but since Emrys wasn't talking, he asked, "Did you know they have beds here?"

Emrys blinked in confusion, but really didn't see why he shouldn't answer the question. "Yes, I did," he said.

And then they fell madly in love!
...Oh wait, that's quite a few chapters from this one.

All of these are really good, but this one, God, this one.

I wish that was mine. :/

"We’ve already established that your father isn’t coming, child, he’s far too old and fat and poisoned."
It's nice to be back to writing someone who always has a sense of humor instead of situationally having one...
