Since writing a first scene based on the premise of two characters trying to bluff their way into the enemy base, it’s become one of my favourite Realmgard running gags.
The Spectacular Selvario Sisters
“She’s adopted,” Lucia and Alda say, each pointing to the other.
The Roast Duck Delivery Girls
“Hi. It’s just the, oh, the, um, Roast Duck Delivery Girls!”
“We didn’t order a roast duck.”
“And you don’t even have a roast duck.”
“…Yeah. You see, the thing is that we, um, came to make sure that you guys didn’t order a roast duck.”
Annie & Matilda vs. the Middelmerish Western Oceanic Company & Company
“I’d be stupid not to take you are your word,” the guard says,
Martburton, Mart Problems
“She’s the Marchioness de Martburton-Burtonburton, the famous art historian. What does that make you?”
“Oh. I would happen to be, uh, the Marchioness de Martburton-Burton…burton…’s manservant.”
“Manservant?” But you’re a woman!”
Dunstana & Petra vs. Smuggling Ring
“I am a Half-Troll Amazon. I am trained in the traditional Amazon art of killing a man in nineteen different ways with nothing but my thumbs. I am here either to inflict unspeakable violence. Or, I am indeed here to help my friend get her ball back from over your fence. Pray it is the latter.”
