FEBRUARY 2019 - SCAVENGER HUNTAN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER
·Post 29 *FINISHED*
*So the only reference I have to this movie is this clip: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=14o3DgW...
48/50
ACCIDENT - #1 (loc 715, 18%)
After dropping the bombshell that she had to skedaddle to take care of her meemaw after some accident with a zoo hippo.
ACTION - #6 (loc 357, 23%)
"Come to the show, kid. You can at least get some action out of the deal. I know I will."
ADDRESS - #7 (loc 628, 41%)
Emmy spoke loudly, stepping forward and holding up her hands, before addressing Terrance. "You slept with…Pica? Pica who loves Rau to the point of creepy obsession?"
BACHELOR - #6 (loc 824, 51%)
Katie is working on her bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, taking a full load with an eye to pursuing pharmaceutical chemistry.
BALLET - #4 (loc 1695, 37%)
But visiting the fjords and touring ancient Viking ruins and attending the capital ballet are not enough to instill in one the sense of royal duty that comes with carrying the weight of the crown since birth.
BEDROOM - #9 (loc 3342, 54%)
I staggered into my living room, discovered my parents on the couch, and reversed course for my bedroom to sleep off what I hoped was a hallucination.
BELLS - #7 (loc 250, 18%)
"Gods do not wear bells like domesticated beasts."
BOYFRIEND - #10 (loc 699, 19%)
"Oh good, wait until the second we're leaving to spring it on me that you and Elena's mentally unstable boyfriend of undisclosed supernatural origins is coming to stay."
BUILDING - #4 (loc 2998, 64%)
Ah, yes, the old the Prince of Morons has entered the building eye roll. My favorite.
CAR - #5 (loc 1316, 31%)
He shook his head as he opened his car door, still uncomfortably hard.
CHRISTMAS - #9 (loc 312, 6%)
"Your dad really let you shear his fur? How on Earth did you manage that? You darling boy. It really is Christmas." "Let is a really strong word."
COAST - #8 (loc 7089, 75%)
The scent of blooming magnolia trees filled the air as they stepped outside. He loved the scent of the Gulf Coast this time of year.
COUCH - #4 (loc 261, 7%)
Ted curls his lip as he brings his Elvis impersonation closer to the couch, which also brings the baby one-armed octopus right to eye level.
CROSS - #4 (loc 1045, 23%)
Plus, he's the type to cross the bloody interstate to save a chicken.
DECK - #5 (loc 1773, 41%)
Nodding as though that was A) a real thing, and B) made any kind of sense, she took the deck and lifted her chin a little higher. Soon she'd be looking at the sky.
DISABILITY - #9 (loc 208, 5%)
One thing would have to change, though: at the rate I was spending money on an animal that didn't even like me, I'd blow through my disability pay within a month.
EMBRACE - #10 (loc 2294, 60%)
Instead, I lay there in Cole's embrace for hours, simply watching my hand in fascination as scales rippled back and forth across my skin.
EMPIRE - #9 (loc 3967, 64%)
Michietti's embraced the glory days of the Roman Empire, breaking free from Lower Chicago's doom and gloom to offer diners a step through time and a glimpse of the luxury enjoyed long ago.
EUROPE - #10 (loc 2430, 64%)
Even if they looked like they'd flown halfway to Europe and back.
EXPLAIN - #1 (loc 661, 17%)
The door slams shut two seconds later, and I'm left waiting for my dick to explain to me what just happened.
FEELINGS - #3 (loc 173, 3%)
"Are you really discussing his motherfucking feelings while we're preparing to go into the Black Heart?" Jude asks me like I've lost my damn mind.
FIANCÉE
FRIENDS - #5 (loc 2885, 66%)
She glared at me all the way out the door. We wouldn't end up friends, she and I.
GRANDMOTHER - #8 (loc 8520, 90%)
"She told me a demigod wants to destroy your line. Your grandmother imprisoned one a long time ago. She's vague on deets but is scared for you."
HEAVEN - #1 (loc 2307, 55%)
Can fingers orgasm? Because my fingers are in fucking heaven.
HOSPITAL - #9 (loc 4353, 70%)
"The doctors here would be oh so inconvenienced should something tragic happened. It would sting their pride if they had to send one of their employees to different hospital."
INJURE - #7 (loc 783, 50%)
Her finger came out so that she could jab me in the chest. I barely felt it, but it still amused me that she was so relaxed about trying to injure me.
LIVE - #6 (loc 733, 45%)
"Because now that I know where you live, the whole stalking thing is about to get real."
MAN - #4 (loc 150, 5%)
How many more compromising positions can a single man be caught in during one lifetime?
MEDITERRANEAN - #8 (loc 6368, 67%)
Until a shimmering bluish-green dragon with scales the color of the Mediterranean appeared, landing in the ashes of the demons and destroyed vehicles with a thump.
MEET - #6 (loc 694, 43%)
I kick the counter, watching him jump, meet my eyes and jump again. "Now, asshole. Or I'll stretch those gauges in your ears down around your ankles."
MIDNIGHT - #1 (loc 3347, 80%)
She makes a complicated hand gesture that looks like she's asking for six fish to be delivered to the top of the water tower by midnight if he ever wants to see his chicken again. Ares goes pale.
NEW YORK - #9 (loc 3767, 61%)
"I visited New York, and a corpse fell on the car I was standing next to."
OBSERVATION - #3 (loc 4183, 77%)
Distraction is my number one tool to combat their keen powers of observation.
OCEAN - #11 (loc 2452, 83%)
"You must be the fish-man," Chris said. Son of Neptune. Some hotshot in the ocean. Thankfully, married.
PAGE - #4 (loc 1112, 25%)
"Goat's Tit has a blog. Your hiccups are front page news." Well, fuckle-dee-doo-dah.
PAINTINGS - #3 (loc 4940, 91%)
The bitch does have an ass I envy, though. I hate her a little for it. Mine is okay. Nothing special. Unless she's sitting in these paintings, she always finds a way to give a peek of that ass.
PLACE - #2 (loc 7554, 94%)
The brightly colored furnishings that Adrian preferred seeming out of place against the black of the rest of Hell.
PLAYER - #1 (loc 2953, 70%)
He shrugs and pulls a novel out of his back pocket. I squint. It's pink and girly, with a hockey player and cupcakes on the cover.
REJECTED - #5 (loc 1318, 31%)
She'd somehow withstood his boosted version of selkie magic, for fuck's sake. She'd drunk it in, coasted with it for a moment, and then rejected it with a smile.
SHARE - #5 (loc 437, 12%)
That had been about as useful as asking a starving man to share his steak.
SHAWL
STATE - #3 (loc 181, 3%)
"I'm curious what's a no-go for Kai, considering he's good with most anything," I state as Kai shakes his head.
STREET - #3 (loc 5294, 98%)
"These Hell people think the Four Horsemen are more impressive than The Apocalypse! I need to do something major to regain street credit!"
TIME - #8 (loc 6794, 72%)
"He's a Roman general so he's been around a long time. He might know something or know someone who does."
VISIT - #9 (loc 179, 4%)
I am now the gaurdian of an alpaca for the next twenty business days. I thought I'd come visit you, with my new pet alpaca, for the next twenty business days.
WALK - #3 (loc 5055, 93%)
It's not like I can stand to walk away. I'm struggling just to sit up, because gravity is a lot harder to contend with than I expected.
WEDDING - #10 (loc 2980, 77%)
Screw the wedding with the big poofy dress, this was much more permanent.
WHEELCHAIR - #5 (loc 3500, 79%)
"It is also why we have wheelchairs. And elevators."
WOMAN - #3 (loc 2331, 43%)
All that power…trapped inside one really absurd woman.
Carryovers
4/5
GYM SHOES - #4 (loc 3825, 81%) (view spoiler)
I let myself sit stiffly on the edge of the other sofa. I need a shower-I smell like a sweaty fish in dirty gym socks, and now I'm thinking about showering with Manning, or soaking in that jet tub with him upstairs, or bad Gracie, concentrate.
HOT DOG - #1 (loc 2679, 64%)
He's not big. He's supersized. He's like the jumbo hot dog in a world of cocktail weenies.
LINCOLN - #9 (loc 834, 15%)
Expecting the same principles to apply in Lincoln, Nebraska classified me as an idiot.
PIONEER
WASHROOM - #11 (loc 2367, 80%)
