I just moved apartments today so all of my stuff is still packed. I sadly will not be able to find a quote and be able to keep up with it for at least a day or two. So as to not let such a worthy game go too long without action I shall hand my turn over to either Kath or Folwren. They were close on the last two. The first one to get it has the turn.

Sorry about that.

I wasn't really involved in the last one so Folwren can take it.

I don't understand...first one to get what? Anyway, I probably wouldn't be the one. Give it to Kath, she's better than I so has more right to it and she's been around more. (Now, if you're a guy, Kath, then tell me so and it won't be the first time I was wrong. I have an excuse, though...really I do...for thinking your a girl. )

Kath, I don't want it. I don't deserve it. I haven't guessed a single one.

Why'd you choose one of us two anyway, Morm?

Edit: we could flip a coin.

Correct but I thought if I included the first line it would be far too easy. You got it much sooner than I had expected. Was is the "O" that gave it away?
