Earlier today I had one of the more interesting (and hilarious) experiences in game while influencing the guards (just to clarify, I was alone). Started off simple enough.

A centaur hunter says, "Good day, eh?"
A centaur hunter exclaims, "Feel like a run through the woods!"
You say, "Quite."
You say, "My encouraging words no doubt make your day."
A centaur hunter says, "Oh, if not you, someone else."
A centaur hunter says, "You'd think we were the hottest thing since the Great Trees, the way you all compliment us constantly."
You say, "Being a guard must be a tough job, standing around, doing... Uh."
A centaur hunter says, "Oh yes, standing about is quite hard work."


But sometime later, it got... well, just read it.

A centaur hunter exclaims, "Look! What's that!"
A centaur hunter points off into the wild blue yonder.
A kephera nature warder says, "I don't know, what is it?"
A centaur hunter exclaims, "A tree!"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "Holy crap! A tree!"
A centaur hunter says, "And a bear."
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "A BEAR?!"
You say, "A bear?"
A centaur hunter exclaims, "A BEAR!"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "Was it brown?!"
A centaur hunter exclaims, "YES!"
You say, "Here?"
You say, "You must be imagining things!"
A centaur hunter exclaims, "It was brown and covered in hair!"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "Wow! A BEAR!"
A centaur hunter exclaims, "IT WAS HUUUUGE!"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "HOW HUGE?!"
A centaur hunter exclaims, "MAAAASSSIIIVVEEE!!!"
A centaur hunter says, "Well? Did you see the bear?"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "Apparently it was huge!"
A centaur hunter exclaims, "MASSIVE!"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "MASSIVE!"
A frost hag says, "Well, enough of that, hm?"
A frost hag says, "Let's get down to important things."
A frost hag says, "It was a bear. It was brown."
A frost hag says, "And it was HUGE."
A centaur hunter exclaims, "How huge?!"
A kephera nature warder says, "Was it MASSIVE?"
A frost hag exclaims, "IT WAS MAAAASSSSIIIIVVVEEE!!!"
A centaur hunter exclaims, "Wow!"
A frost hag exclaims, "I know!"
A frost hag exclaims, "LOOK! LOOK OVER THERE!"
A centaur hunter exclaims, "OVER WHERE?!"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "OVER THERE?!"
A frost hag exclaims, "OVER BEAR!"
A centaur hunter exclaims, "IT'S HUGE!!!"
A frost hag rolls on the floor, laughing.
A brown bear enters from the northeast - oh god! It's HUGE!
A brown bear peers about himself unscrupulously.
DID YOU SEE IT?! IT WAS A BEAR! IT WAS HUUUUUUGE!
You say, "OH MY GOD, that bear was HUGE."
A frost hag exclaims, "WASN'T IT?!"
You say, "Like, MASSIVE."
A kephera nature warder nods his head sagely.
A kephera nature warder says, "Now, go tell people about the bear."
A frost hag exclaims, "And don't forget!"
A frost hag exclaims, "IT WAS HUUUUGE!"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "And it was brown!"
A frost hag says, "Of course it was massive, dingbat."
You say, "But... ”
A centaur hunter exclaims, "What?!"
A kephera nature warder says, "I don't like looking at bear butts."
A centaur hunter licks his lips.
A centaur hunter says, "I do."
You say, "They won't believe me, no one would believe such a MASSIVE bear even exists."
A frost hag exclaims, "You must tell them!"
You say, "I need proof!"
You say, "Maybe it left a MASSIVE footprint."
A centaur hunter exclaims, "The bear is -so- massive it doesn't leave footprints!"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "It's so brown it doesn't believe in foot prints!"
A frost hag stares implacably at a kephera nature warder.
A frost hag says, "I think his egg was dropped when he was a laid."
A centaur hunter says, "Mmm, bears...."
You say, "And what if... the massive brown bear goes mad? What do we do then?"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "The bear can't go mad!"
A frost hag says, "Except by denying it."
A centaur hunter says, "Oh god. Do not deny the bear."
A kephera nature warder says, "IT'S HUGE."
You say, "I would never deny the bear."
A frost hag exclaims, "MASSIVE!"
A centaur hunter says, "Enough of thias though."
A frost hag nods her head at a centaur hunter.
You say, "It's so massive it's undeniable by nature."
A kephera nature warder nods his head emphatically.
A kephera nature warder says, "Yes, yes. Enough of that."
You nod your head emphatically.
A frost hag says, "Oh, Airyn."
You say, "Yes?"
A frost hag says, "This is important."
A frost hag says, "Let me tell you about the bear."
You say, "I'm listening."
A frost hag says, "It was HUGE."
A frost hag says, "Some might even say MASSIVE."
A frost hag says, "The best part? One could practically TASTE how brown it was."
You say, "MASSIVE? Truly?! I have never heard such a thing!"
A centaur hunter exclaims, "Never?!"
You say, "Until now!"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "Oh no, don't talk that way!"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "You might upset the bear!"
A frost hag says, "Oh, don't want to upset the bear. He IS massive."
A centaur hunter exclaims, "And brown!"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "So brown you can -hear- it!"
A brown bear says, "Enough of that, though."
A brown bear says, "Let me tell you a story, Airyn."
A brown bear says, "Of the bear."
A brown bear says, "He was massive. He was huge."

p bear
The cave bear is the ancestor of the modern bears found on the continent of Sapience today. It is very aggressive and often attacks without provocation. It has massive paws which are easily strong enough to crush the bones of most opponents and oftentimes it will try to do just that to deal with its prey.
A brown bear appears to be extraordinarily strong.
He weighs about 450 pounds.
You cannot see what a brown bear is holding.

A brown bear says, "And he was brown."
You have emoted: Airyn gapes in wonder as he listens.
A brown bear nods his head sagely.
DID YOU SEE IT?! IT WAS A BEAR! IT WAS HUUUUUUGE!
A centaur hunter exclaims, "Wow. The bear!"
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "It was huge!"
A frost hag exclaims, "MASSIVE!"
You say, "My heart almost stopped at how huge and massive and BROWN he was!"
A centaur hunter nods his head enthusiastically at you.
A centaur hunter nods his head enthusiastically at you.
A kephera nature warder nods his head enthusiastically at you.
A frost hag nods her head enthusiastically at you.
A centaur hunter says, "It is your -duty- to now spread word."
A kephera nature warder exclaims, "Oh yes!"
A frost hag says, "Here, we'll practice."
A frost hag says, "I'm a total stranger. Now walk up to me, and tell me about the bear."
You say, "I cannot take such an important role, I am still so young and inexperienced!"
A frost hag exclaims, "You must!"
You say, "But what if I'm not strong enough when the deciding moment comes?"
A frost hag says, "Just remember the important way to begin the conversation."
A frost hag says, "And to end it."
A frost hag says, "Do you know the way, Airyn?"
You say, "I... I might. I could give it a try."
A frost hag says, "Yes! Practice."
You have emoted: Airyn clears his throat.
A frost hag tilts her head and listens intently.
A centaur hunter tilts his head and listens intently.
A kephera nature warder tilts his head and listens intently.
You say, "Greetings. I come here as a messenger of the story of utmost importance. The story of... the bear."
Opening his mouth wide, A centaur hunter gapes in wonder.
A kephera nature warder nods his head emphatically.
A frost hag tilts her head and listens intently.
You say, "The bear was huge. MASSIVE, even, some might say. And most of all..."
A centaur hunter says, "Was it black?"
You say, "He was brown. Oh so brown. I cannot even describe how brown it was."
A frost hag says, "So brown you could TASTE it?"
You say, "You could taste, hear and smell it at the same time!"
A frost hag exclaims, "WOW!"
A frost hag exclaims, "WHAT A BEAR!!"

And so forth.

Biggest fountain of lulz I've seen in a while. biggrin.gif
Nariah2010-08-22 11:36:17
So. Have I told you about the bear?
Veyrzhul2010-08-22 11:48:35
And here you see why conquest and village raids are a bad idea. Look what a few hits on the head do to them. laugh.gif
Lendren2010-08-22 11:55:00
Is this an allusion to some pop culture thing of which I know not? I think I'm seeing this more lately than "all you base are belong to us" back in its day.

Hey, I've seen it with my own eyes. And it was MASSIVE!

@Lendren: I don't think so, I like to think they were just making it up on the go.
Lendren2010-08-22 12:17:39
Well, I've heard the same lines in other circles. Only on Lusternia, admittedly, but then, most of my exposure to pop culture fads is via Lusternia so that's not very telling.

The meme is strong in this one.
Lendren2010-08-22 15:17:43
I made it about a quarter of the way through that video before deciding that, if this is the answer to my question, I don't care nearly enough to find out by listening to the rest.
Eventru2010-08-22 15:24:35
This is all interesting, but I really think we should address an important topic, so enough of that.

Let me tell you about the bear.
