Buffyverse Quotes Chain Game

[Jaz ♀♀]

So I started this game on another Buffyverse forum....it's really fun to play especially if you're an obsessed-Buffy-geek-nerd-fan as most of you probably are...

*changed the rules a little to this:

someone will post a quote from any character(s) on Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel and the then that person chooses a word from their quote for the next person to link to their quote.

here's an example:


Cordelia: Buffy, I know we've had our differences, with you being so weird and all, and hanging out with these total losers...well, anyway, despite all of that, I know that you share this feeling that we have for each other, deep down....
Willow: Nausea?

(Then I choose a word from my quote and the next person has to post a quote with that word in it)

Next Linked word: weird

Tara: "Where'd ya send him?"
Anya: "The land of the trolls. He'll like it there. 'ts full of trolls."
Willow: "It's hard to be precise, though. Alternate universes don't stay put. Trying to send him to a specific place is sort of like ... like ... trying to hit a ... puppy, by throwing a live bee at it. Which is a weird image, and you should all just forget it."


This might be hard to do unless you're a complete Buffy nerd but even then, you might have to look back at some episodes. Also it might help others if you write medium-ish quotes so that they can find a word to link to theirs instead of a 3-4 word sentence...other than that and that that the quotes have to be Buffyverse-related there's really no rules for this game. Hope you like!

I'll start:

Spike: On your merry way, then. You know, contrary to one's self-involved world-view, your house happens to be directly between parts...and other parts of this town. And I would pass by in the day but I feel I'm outgrowing my whole "burst into flame" phase.
Buffy: Fine. Keep going, I cut you a break.
Spike: Oh, yeah. Okay, let me guess...you won't kill me? Wooo...the whole crowd-pleasing threats-and-swagger routine. How stunningly original. You know, I'm just passing through. Satisfied? You know, I really hope so because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard and I never really liked you anyway and...and you have stupid hair.

linked word: kill


Joyce: I'm, uh, guessing I missed some fun?
Willow: The spirit of the first Slayer tried to kill us in our dreams.
Joyce: Oh, you want some hot chocolate?

linked word: Slayer


Walsh: So, the Slayer.
Buffy: Yeah. That's me.
Walsh: We thought you were a myth.
Buffy: Well, you were myth-taken.

[CourtneyDax]

Linked word: Myth


PRINCIPAL WOOD: OK, I was bluffing. I hadn't really thought that one through. Listen, this whole permanent record thing is such a myth anyway. Colleges never ask for anything past your SAT scores, and it's not like employers are gonna be calling up to check to see how many days you missed back in high school. So, listen, I-I could suspend you, but that would mean calling your parents, alerting your teachers, filling out paperwork, and, quite possibly, having to talk to the school board? all of which sounds positively exhausting to me. No. No, I think it would be much easier if I just called the police, let them deal with it. Oh, and, in case you're wondering, this is the part where I'm not bluffing.

linked word: school

Xander: So this chair-woman. We are talking Ms. Calendar, right?
Giles: W-what makes you think that?
Xander: Simple deduction. Ms. Calendar is reasonably dollsome, especially for someone in your age bracket. She already knows that you're a school librarian, so you don't have to worry about how to break that embarrassing news to her.
Buffy: And she's the only woman we've actually ever seen speak to you. Add it all up and it all spells 'duh'.

Just a suggestion, but wouldn't this game be more challenging if the author of each response has to choose the linked word to go with their chosen quote?

oh that's an awesome idea!!! yep that's now a new rule

I'll start
next linked word: Ms.Calender

[gumgnome]

Buffy: It was wrong, okay? I know that, and I know that it can't happen again. But you guys have to believe me. I would never put you in any danger. If I thought for a second that Angel was going to hurt anyone...

Xander: ...you would stop him. Like you did last time with Ms.
Calendar.

New word: believe

[Jaz ♀♀]

Angel: They're at his factory. It starts tonight.
Buffy: Factory?
Angel: I ... I can take you there.
(Warily goes to unlock him, but he flinches from her cross)
Buffy: Oh, you gotta be kidding me!
Angel: Wait! I won't hurt you.
Buffy: No. You'll leave that to your Master.
Angel: You don't believe I wanna help you?
(He makes a hard effort to stand up and opens his shirt to show her his wounds.)
Angel: Believe I want him dead.

new word: dead

[gumgnome]

FAITH: Well, when I'm fighting, it's like the whole world goes away and
I only know one thing: that I'm gonna win and they're gonna lose. I like
that feelin'.
BUFFY: Well, sure. Beats that dead feeling you get when they win and you lose.
FAITH: I don't let that kind of negative thinking in.
JOYCE: Right. Right. That could get you hurt. Buffy can be awfully negative sometimes. (to Buffy) See, honey, you gotta fight that.
BUFFY: I'm working on it.

Linked word: negative

[CourtneyDax]

WESLEY: When they went out of business they just left these here?
CORDELIA: Yup. Also the desk. We'll share.
WESLEY: And when we go out of business we can just leave our stuff for the next guy.
CORDELIA: Hey, hey, negative energy boy, with all of our money pooled together we can stay here a long time.

Linked Word: Money

[Jaz ♀♀]

Cordelia: Oh, I've missed that smell!
Wesley: Camembert, I believe.
Cordelia: What? No, money. I like to smell a little money once in a while.
Angel: She's not just saying that. Hide some in the office sometime, and watch her. It's uncanny!


Linked word: missed

[gumgnome]

HARMONY: Bastard. You dumped me and staked me and hurt me and left me--
SPIKE: I know, sugar, but you're forgetting one other thing I did. (He gets a touchy feely look.) I missed you.

Linked word: dumped

[Jaz ♀♀]

Buffy: What's the matter, Spike? Dru dump you again?
Spike: Maybe I dumped her!
Harmony: She left him for a fungus demon. That's all he talks about most days.
Spike: Harm!


Linked word: demon

[gumgnome]

Buffy: You were spying on me? What gives you the right?
Cordelia: What gives you the right to suck face with your demon lover again?

Linked word: spying

[Jaz ♀♀]

Spike: That ponce has always had it for me. Every chance he gets, he sticks it -- You believe him, don't you? You think I was spying on you. You think I could do that?
Buffy: Because you don't lie or cheat or steal or manipulate --
Spike: (quiet) I don't hurt you.
Buffy: I know.
Spike: No, you don't. I've tried to make it clear to you, but you won't see it. Something happened to me. The way I feel... about you... It's different. No matter how hard you try to convince yourself it isn't. It's real.

Next linked word: chance

[gumgnome]

D'Hoffryn: This is no concern of ours. You will live out your mortal life and die.
Anya: (pleadingly) Give me another chance. You can fold the fabric of time. Send me back to that place and I'll change it. I won't fail again.

Linked word: fabric

[Jaz ♀♀]

Anya: You're mother sent me around from the front of the house. She said to ask you to add fabric softener when the timer goes off. Can we talk some more?


Linked Word: house

[gumgnome]

BUFFY: Willow and Tara. This is their room.
DAWN: Yeah, well, it seemed to make the most sense. No one was using it, and it's the biggest. But, you know, now that you're here, we'll have to figure out something to do. Buffy? You wanna, like, stop? (hopeful) We can ... we can sit down and talk.
BUFFY: What else is different?
DAWN: Do you mean about the house, or... Um. Let's see ... Giles. It's so weird. He, he left today. Because you were ... He, he'll come right back, I'll call him. Someone'll call him.

Linked word: biggest

[Jaz ♀♀]

Walsh: I hope you're careful when you walk around campus after dark. I was attacked by wild dogs last night.
Buffy: Wild dogs?
Walsh: 2 Of them. Biggest things I've ever seen. The first one was-- Well, for a moment, I thought it was a gorilla. Did you have a question, Buffy?

New Linked word: campus
