I’m curious: does the movie Labyrinth exist in the October Daye ‘verse, and if so, do Fae generally consider it to be a comedy, or hold some other opinion on it?

seananmcguire:

It does!

Most fae don’t have any opinion on it at all.  Remember that our series is explicitly following the weirdos, the ones who actually understand/have heard of some human culture.  Sylvester hasn’t seen a movie since that Errol Flynn fellow was making them, and doesn’t understand why he’d want to see another one; haven’t they all been made already?

(Tybalt, on the other hand, is already well on his way to becoming a media junky, just with a very narrow, Shakespearean bent.  Quentin is planning to show him Slings and Arrows, and watch to see whether he explodes.)

October Daye Drinking Game

With love and apologies to Seanan McGuire.

  • Toby ruins a pair of jeans: Take a sip.

  • Toby is up and fighting within minutes of an injury that would kill a human: Take a drink.
  • Toby is up and fighting within minutes of an injury that would kill a full-blood fae: Take two drinks.
  • Seanan starts repeating descriptions of just how bad pain can get: Finish your drink.
  • Someone is a dick to pixies: Take a drink.
  • Tybalt quotes Shakespeare: Take a sip.
  • Quentin sasses his knight: Take a sip.
  • You want to pet Raj, and it might be worth losing a hand for it: Take a drink.
  • Someone around Toby is lying about who they are: Take a drink.
  • Various authority figures already knew about the lie: Take two drinks.
  • A teenager is kidnapped: Take a drink.
  • The teenager is Toby’s family: Finish your drink.
  • Bridge Troll Taxi Service: One sip per barghest.
  • Dianda has to be restrained from killing someone: Toast the only woman with any sense here.
  • Deus Ex Luidaeg: Finish the bottle on her behalf.

I would like to note that “Dianda has to be restrained from killing someone: Toast the only woman with any sense here.“ is maybe the most accurate thing anyone will ever say.

They’re strict about that rule

TYBALT: So the first trail you followed led to the secret lair of an unidentified ancient so powerful she could intimidate two queens and was probably expected to kill you.
TYBALT: And the second trail you followed led straight to a starving bloodmonster specifically disguised as your missing daughter and it tried to kill you.
TYBALT: And the third trail you followed led to a sign reading “50% off Gore-b-Gone Bloodstain Remover” but then you were jumped by fifty assassins in the express lane.
OCTOBER: Well I did have more than ten items.
