The Quote Game thread

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 10:50 pm

Here's how it works. I start the thread off with a quote. From this quote you take the last letter in the last word. Then you find a quote that starts with the same letter. To add in complication no two quoates can be from the same "person" in a row, nor can they concern the same subject.

Also who ever posts the first reply is the person we use as the quote to reply to. So if two people reply in succession which ever post appears first.

He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare,
And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.

For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?

Though I can not predict the future, the consequences of this night will reverberate through the halls of both great covens for many years to come. Two vampire elders have been slain. One by my own hand. Soon, Marcus will take the throne and a tirade of anger and retribution will spill out into the night. Differences will be set aside, allegiances will be made and soon I will become the hunted.
