Hi, Milliways! Guest host Mandas here. How's your Thursday, so far? Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is the following:

You know when you're sitting around a campfire, or on a long trip, and you get to telling anecdotes or playing Truth or Dare? These stories that come out tend to be sweet, sentimental, or best of all, hilarious. I'd like to hear some of your pups' stories that they wouldn't necessarily tell to anyone except the closest of friends. The more embarrassingly hilarious, the better! You don't have to go into detail, but it'd be great if you do.


In other news, KotOR/Star Wars muns: The KotOR MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, has officially been announced. GameSpot has a pretty good writeup on it. The question is whether it'll stand up to the series. The screens have me a little worried, honestly; it looks like they tried to fit the cartoony style of the latest movie into the game. Yeeeah.

Eric's: "So yeah, when we buried my best friend? I hung out at the gravesite with his girlfriend. And then we made out. On the grave."

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

*cracks up* From what I've heard, that's probably not the worst thing he's done, either.

[ashen_key]

My Thursday (it's quarter to midnight, it's still Thursday) meant a seven hour shift at a fast food place in a mall during lunch time with only two people serving, one of them me. My brain, she is fried.

Which sucks, as, oh my gosh my pups have done crazy shit. And I can't remember any of them. Also, my brain has been caught up in AU!Sam&Meda!Matrix thing, and just throws out random binary at me.

But, hmm.

*thinks*

Medusa and her two triplets, back in the days when she just had curls and was this gorgeously pretty thing all the boys wanted to marry, were in Atlantis. They had Atlantean for the first time. They were also teenage girls with wings.

Their father still has nightmares about that.

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Well, hopefully your Friday will be better. And your brain, too.

I can imagine he would. Girls Gone Wild: Atlantis Edition isn't something many fathers would look forward to.

[wakeupnew]

Oooh. This is difficult.

*considers*

I feel like Plourr's (SHUT UP FIREFOX, THAT IS A WORD) would be anything remotely sappy and/or sentimental that she's ever done. So basically a couple of stories related to husband-and-child (see: hilariously yearny icon). Otherwise, she -- really doesn't have much in the way of a sense of shame; not for the non-traumatic stuff, anyway! She's got plenty of canonical shame for the angsty stuff, but nobody really wants to hear about fractricide while sitting around the campfire playing truth or dare. XD

Older-Tycho Does Not Speak of the time he and Wedge got really plastered, played zoneball, and had to be picked up off the floor by their long-suffering girlfriends, while they were still roaring zoneball fight songs. (Well, he'll talk about it with Wedge.) It would be a good truth or dare story! Reset young-Tycho would find it hilarious.

I'm not sure what Rhodey's truth would be, but it probably doesn't have anything to do with spring break 1987 or anyone named Ivan.

[ashen_key]

...I am giggling at Tycho and Wedge and this mental image.

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

Haha, those are all great. Especially Wedge's. Was this an actual Mways thread?

[shati.livejournal.com]

Plourr's could be the ghost stories I told about her!!

[slayer_fray]

"K, so, I know that it might seem kinda spun that folk are still making noise about the tallest buildings and toy like that given all our buildings are taller than the kind you got back in your time. But folk are folk, right? And it's a mat of pride that the tallest manmade point in the world is still in Haddyn. Called the Needle, it's right up above the smog and light, and from the viewing platform, you can see the stars.

"Course, access for tourists is more credit than I've ever seen in my life. And the security's the toughest in all of Haddyn, so they say.

"So I'm - we're thirteen, me 'n Harth, and he's got it in his head to see the stars. He's a total dork, really. But I get word of some stuff, buy a couple of secrurity scramblers under Erin's nose, and a couple rebreather's, cause the air up there's worse than the UV.

"And I climb up the Needle. Tallest building in the whole rutting world and I climbed up the outside with my twin brother on my back. And the spun part? I ever breathed word of this back in Haddyn I'd be sold to the laws 'fore I could finish the story. They still think the security breach that night was the 'Stans."

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

Wow, I think we may have a winner! That's really a really good one. Extra points for danger factor.

[muji]

Seconded.

[timjr.livejournal.com]

...Awesome.

[naelwyn.livejournal.com]

They've got the official website (http://www.starwarstheoldrepublic.com/) up too. I do not how to feel about this idea of an KotOR MMO, I'd have much prefered just another sequel in the series, making a nice trilogy of it. And if I want MMO, I play WoW. lol


And I'm way too uncreative (and sunburnt) this morning to attempt the campfire thing.

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

I am not feeling the graphic style at all. It looks like they didn't even know what a person or a lightsaber looked like before attempting to model them. I'm... I'm hoping for something decent, I really am. BioWare won't let us down, right?


Right?

[muji]

I think the best example I could think of for Mal is the story about Tracey and the moustache. Can't beat canon for things like that. The story that Mal hates to tell (and therefore Sallie loves to) is about how he and David wrapped a hovercraft around a tree because David was trying to impress a girl. :D

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

Literally wrapped? Or just crashed into one?

(You never know around Milliways.)

[gorgonfondness]

Nash: There was that one time Kyle dressed in drag in order to lure out the Vile Tribe and everyone in Nanza called him a singing princess for a week.

Mia: .....Nash, you tell everyone that story. What about that time when Will and Draco had a drinking contest and the loser had to wear a dress? I've just told that to my friends here who would like to hear it.

Nash: Wait, when did this happen? *evil grin*

Homestar: Well, there was this one time I locked myself out of the house and lived inside a mascot costume. And there was this one time when I got stuck in the water cooler at work. And then I had myself on my own "My Boyfriend Style Got Stole" morning talk show. In fact, they all might have been the same day...

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

Will and Draco? *grins* That's awesome.

And that is actually pretty much my favorite sbemail of all time.

[prix-etoile.livejournal.com]

While I love the idea of another Old Republic era game, I cannot afford MMOs. So I will be sitting that one out.

However, with the news of a KOTOR book coming out, set just before the events in KOTOR I (I don't know if that means it's an all out REVAN IS AT WAR WE ARE AWESOME book, or literally...right before, where it's really boring) I am back to being excited :P

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

KOTOR BOOK.


KOTOR BOOK. LIKE, A NOVEL.


!!!!! *cannot breathe*

(I'm thinking the same thing on the MMO front. I am a poor college student! And it's under EA, so you know it's gonna be a subscription-based thing.)

[bloody-awful.livejournal.com]

"... I don't care what Chas told you, I did not shag that monkey!"

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

*cracks up* ilu, John.

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

So there's this one time, right, that the Young Avengers guys never, ever speak of. It's shortly after Tommy joined them, they were all a little down after Teddy's mom's death and everything. Tommy decides to cheer them up while they're all at the clubhouse hanging out (the girls are ... elsewhere. Yes. Shh).

Tommy being Tommy, he decides poker and booze are the best way to cheer everyone up! (Well, after the others shot down his 'hookers and blow' suggestion, anyway.) So off they go, after a little wheedling to get Eli to loosen up. Billy, despite the ability to manipulate the game ... is losing. Terribly. And is also a complete lightweight. So he decides that it's strip poker! No one else agrees, but he has a very good time stripping to whatever was on the radio at the time. Teddy, naturally, attempted to cover him up like a good boyfriend, but the damage was done ... Tommy joined in. And the Vision II was left with a very strange impression of teenagers.

Meanwhile ...

No matter what Nick Fury tells you, Steve did not loose his virginity to six French hookers and Bucky one drunken evening. Shh. /completely untrue, but hilariously cracky anyway.

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

*cackles at both* Excellent.

[alt-hulk.livejournal.com]

Dude, okay, I totally forgot to do my own. Bad mun, bad.

Barney? Has the time Alyx bleached his hair with peroxide. He Does Not Speak of This.

Teddy has Banah's...

The Heavy has a fondness for fluffy animals that once led to him writing a letter to Team BLU when the circus came through town. It was rejected, sadly enough. And there was also taking a Polaroid of when the Scout tried to run around with his legs on backwards.

John went to MIT. They are hackers. He has more of these kinds of stories than you can shake a stick at, really.

Metis actually has a canon one... he got a crush on his BFF Charles' sister, who wanted to be a hair stylist. He agreed to let her cut his hair, and she ended up perming it. It hasn't ever been straight since, and he has a deathly fear of getting his hair cut now.

Chell's canon, from GLaDOS: "Didn't we have some fun though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said 'Goodbye' and you were like (deep male voice) 'NO WAY!' (normal voice) and then I was all 'We pretended we were going to murder you'? That was great!"

[vance_prime]

Oh, come on, Barney made a great platinum blonde!

[remindmeofthe.livejournal.com]

Cal does not actually remember most of his embarrassing stories due to the fact that he was on drugs when they occurred, and his secrets are just too dark for a game of Truth or Dare. He is, however, going to be fairly embarrassed to admit to some people that he allowed the Empty Child to touch him even though Nancy had warned him of what would happen.

Dorothy Jane's creative energies are currently going into a rather steamy poem about her next-door neighbor and love of her adolescent life, Riley Roberts. She keeps this poem under lock and key and guards it with her very soul and in no way will it become the focus of an episode where her younger sister plasters copies all over the neighborhood and - well, it doesn't end on quite the sunny note you'd expect from a sitcom.

Alan has lost count of the ridiculous things he did under Chrissie's influence when they were young. He's pretty sure all the photos of the night of crossdressing have been destroyed.

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

Oh, Cal. *hugs hig*

Only "pretty sure," eh?

[sliceitwithwind.livejournal.com]

Xaldin doesn't have any sweet, sentimental, or hilarious stories.

Dilan on the other hand has lots of them, most starting "Braig was (pick one: drunk/stoned/both) and - "

Those are more fun to leave mostly open ended. Like the pickle incident.

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

Knowing Dilan, I can only imagine.

(And Dilan is technically your pup too, isn't he?)

[skidmo]

Lorne's Embarrassing Moment, I think, will always be losing his lunch in front of Teal'c on his first off-world mission, back when he was a clean-cut, sweet little geologist.

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

Haha. I've watched enough SG to know that Teal'c's face was likely priceless.

[vivien]

I've had the long-running story of Tom's weekend in Rome with Angelique, the Veela, who picked him up after a Dark rite and brought him home to her flat (and her Veela flatmates). This was when he was twenty and still very much evil, and the number of flatmates varies from 2-3 depending on the audience. There was only one other Veela there, actually, but my Tom does like to brag.

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

Heee. Tom Riddle: The Original Wizarding Pimp?

[mnt_mike]

"Embarrassment is what happens to other people."

"That so, Mikey? I'm sure I could dig somethin' up that people'd love to hear 'bout."

"Oh I'm sure you could, but that'd totally give me reason to go dragging one of your skeletons out of the sewers."

"I ain't got nothin' to hide."

"Not even that time when Leo signed you up for the Barry Manilow fan club?"

"That all you got?"

"Or that time you dyed yourself pink by accident."

"Heh, that was Donnie, you nimrod."

"Oh...right! How about the time you woke up mostly naked next to Tim Hunter? That was funny and embarrassment, right?"

"Right Raph?"

"Raph?"

"Run."

"YIPES!"

[ Mandas is experiencing difficulties due to extreme amusement. She will be back shortly. ]

[ceitfianna]

Most of Will's stories are Milliways related in terms of embarassment especially when rum, Doc and fire are involved like the bonfire when the guys were chased by demon bunnies. The infamous night of Drunken Bar and then afterwards duct tape shenanigans involving Jack Sparrow, nothing else is quite the same and he never talks of the night of random crackness when for some reason, his male friends decided to kiss him.

Demeter has Far too many stories that are sweet and sexy and not embarassing to her but very much to her daughter.

At this point in time I don't think Tumnus has any though perhaps maybe when he was a young Faun and his first time in the woods with Bacchus, Pan and the nymphs, the thought of it still turns him red.

The Pirate King says that when he was a young and dashing Pirate he never did anything foolish, really.

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Mia-mun mentioned the dress-wearing drinking contest between Will and Draco. XD It sounds hilarious.

Pirates are pretty much either very foolish, or not at all, depending on who you ask. Well, IMO, anyway.
