queensthiefGreetings, reprobates! And welcome to What's This Line From!
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
mortalasabee had an excellent idea to play a wonderful little Queen's Thief game.Here's how it works...
Quote a line from the series. It can be any line from any of the four books, dialog or narration. The Sounisian who guesses correctly will be awarded invisible streamers, expresso, and a free puppy. If you don't have a puppy, give the winner cookies as consolation.
Rules
Here's what to write...
-Which book the quote is from.
-What the next line is, or a generally summary of what happens next for those of you who don't have your copies with you.
(Since we all have different editions, I've decided to exclude page numbers, but you can put them in if you want to. Just remember to write which edition the number is from.)
Using the word search feature on Kindle or an any other digital version of the books is NOT ALLOWED!
If you have your copies with you, please post a new quote when you guess. That way the ball keeps on rolling.
Remember this game includes A Conspiracy of Kings, so if you do not have yourself a copy THIS IS YOUR SPOILER WARNING!
On your mark...
Get ready...
Quote!

Date: 4/17/10 07:30 pm (UTC)Here's mine: "Attolia wasn't surprised that the mask he hid his emotions behind was gone. His training hadn't been been in fear and diplomacy; it had been in silence and stealth. As he looked at her his eyes were bright with anguish."

He had heard her threats, as she knew he would. She could see that he had no expectations of mercy from her.

The second one is also KoA; Costis is asleep on the bench in the guard room and Gen's screams inside his locked bedroom awaken Costis.

no subject
Date: 4/17/10 09:00 pm (UTC)edit: ...or were you guessing the person before you? Because that one was easier than yours.
also, is it supposed to be like, if you get one right, post one of your own? So that way even if two people inadvertently guess on the same one, they will probably choose different quotes for the next people to guess, so the game still keeps going.
Also Leslie's just going to beat all of us at this, we should just not be surprised.

Date: 4/17/10 09:24 pm (UTC)Sorry, that is incorrect, but it does have to do with Moira.
I LOVE your icon. Mine is actually a quote from Veronica Mars.
The scene goes...
Veronica: (serious tone) Your right, Dad. I do have something to admit. *picks up laptop and opens to reveal...
A UNICORN SCREENSAVER*
Veronica: I. Love. Unicorns. Come on, Dad. Girls are crazy about unicorns. *points to screen* Awww...

no subject
Date: 4/17/10 09:40 pm (UTC)-Is this in KoA? Costis thinking that maybe Relius already knew about Sejanus and Erondites talking in the steam baths?
/me is too lazy to stand up and check it in my actual book.
