Aren’t You Forgetting Something?” – Acheron “what?” – Artemis “your Payment.” – Acheron “the Happiness On Your Face When First You Touched Him Was Enough.

May You Get Exactly What You Want And Live Long Enough To Regret It.

That Wasn't Love; That Was Stupidity.

I'm Not Sure I Know What "normal" Is.

Okay. That Was Nice. Clothes. You Need Clothes Before I Do Something I Might Not Regret. What Was Your Size Again, Steve? (sunshine) Talon. (talon) Talon. Size. Clothes. Cover Him Up. I’m Going To Go Get Talon Clothes. Keys. Need Keys For Car. Purse. Money For Clothes. Shoes. Must Have Shoes To Shop And Keep Feet Warm. (sunshine) What About A Coat? It Is Wintertime. (talon) Coats Are Good In The Winter. (sunshine)

There Is No Magic In Words.

My People Never Dreamed Of A World Like This. Of Having So Much Without Backbreaking, Debilitating Work. And Yet For All The Physical Improvements, People Are Still People. They’re Killing Each Other To Get More To Prove A Point Only The Killer Understands. Still Brutalizing And Torturing Each Other Over Things That In Another Hundred Years Won’t Even Matter.

You Have Twenty-four Hours, Horseguy, To Kill Your Betrayer Any Way You See Fit And To Take Your Revenge. Make Them Count. Oh, And Know That You Can’t Let Daylight Touch You. If You Do…well, You Don’t Want To Die Without Your Soul. It’s Highly Unpleasant. Sometime In The Next Few Days, A Man Named Acheron Parthenopaeus Will Find You And Teach You Everything You Need To Know About Being A Dark-hunter. If You’re Smart, You’ll Listen To Him. Welcome To The Madness.” – Artemis

You Know, I Really Hate Romans, But I Have To Say Their Descendants Make One Fine Automobile. (kyrian)

I Would Have Bought You Some More, But Since They Didn’t Have Tags In Them, I Didn’t Know What Size To Buy. (sunshine) Great. I Live To Be Stuck In Strange Places, Naked. (talon)

Caleb Could Be So Testy For No Known Reason. At Times, It Was Like Dating A Woman With Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Or Rabies.

Stars Aren’t Supposed To Cry. They’re Supposed To Laugh. (zarek) How Can I Laugh When I Have No Heart? (astrid) You Have A Heart. (he Placed Her Hand Over His.) One That Only Beats For You, Princess. (zarek)

Life Is A Tapestry Woven By The Decisions We Make.

Decisions We Make

We All Make Mistakes, Steele. It’s What We Do Afterward That Defines Us More Than The Actual Incident That Led To The Mistake. (joe)

Making Mistakes

We All Make Mistakes

Enough, Children. In Case You Haven’t Noticed, We Have A Major Situation Playing Out. We Have To Find And Stop War, Corral The Gallu, Protect Apostolos, And Get Savitar Out Of Here. (apollymi) Why The Later? (jared) Because I Hate His Guts. (apollymi) I Hate You, Too, Precious. (savitar)

It’s True, And I Was Really Hideous As A Preteen. Tall And Gawky. I Used To Bump My Head Into Everything. Still Do Sometimes. (kat) You Are My Daughter.

Technical Advisor. Since You Know Our Enemies So Well, We’re Going To Pick Your Brain. (jericho) I’ll Tell You What You Want To Know. There's No Need To Torture Me For It.

I Can’t Stand It When Someone Opens My Skull. It Really Hurts. (asmodeus)

Hey, Man. Where Have You Been? (dev) Out And About. You? (talon) (dev Gave Him A Wicked Grin.) Mostly In And Out. (dev)

Any More Bitching From The Geriatric Crew? What A Bunch Of Old Women. Should I Hire Another Crewmate To Change Your Bed Diapers While I’m At It? Next Time I’ll Let The League Have You. Vik, I’m Relinquishing Control Back To You. (devyn) It’s What I Live For. By The Way, Ye Organic Life Forms Aren’t The Only Ones Who’ve Soiled Themselves.

You’re The Only Thing I’ve Ever Done Right In My Entire Life And If Anything Ever Happened To You, They’d Have To Dig Two Graves ‘cause I Couldn’t Live A Single Day Without My Baby Beside Me. (cherise)

Patience To The Spider

You Know, I’ve Had A Really Wonderful Night Tonight. I Got To Tell Kyrian And Julian That Valerius Is In Town And Spent, Oh I Don’t Know, Three, Four Hours Trying To Keep Them From Going After The Roman. Then, Just When I Could Relax And Do My Job, I Find Out There Are Daimons In The Swamp And No Talon To Kill Them. And Why Wasn’t Talon Here? Because Tarzan Was Swinging Off A Balcony To Save Jane From Cheetah. Now All I Can Do Is Stand Here And Say, Next Fiasco, Please, Right This Way. (acheron)

I’ve Even Delivered A Few Of Their Babies. (wulf) Really? (cassandra) Oh, Yeah. You Have To Love The Days Before Modern Roads, And Hospitals When I Was Up To My Elbows In Placenta. (wulf)

By The Way, You Guys Seriously Screwed Up Just Now. (nero) We Know. (they Said In Unison.) Yeah, Well, What You Don’t Know Is How Grateful Your Girl Is To You. I Just Thought You Should Know That You Guys Are A Hero To Her…and She Thinks We’re All Idiots. (nero)

I Say We Should Stake Him To An Anthill And Throw Little Pickles At Him! (selena)

Nothing Is Ever Truly Set By Fate. In One Blink, Everything Changes. Even Though It Should Be A Clear, Sunny Day, The Softest Whisper Into The Wind Can Become A Hurricane That Destroys Everything It Touches. (acheron)

Because People Are Ever Willing To Believe The Negative Over The Positive. It’s Easier For You To Think Me Corrupt And Evil Than It Is For You To See Me For What I Really Am. No One Wants To Believe That Some People Are Willing To Help Others Out Of The Goodness Of Their Hearts Because They Can’t Stand To See Someone Suffer. So Few People Are Altruistic That They Can’t Understand Or Conceive That Anyone Else In The World Could Ever Put Someone Else’s Good Above Their Own. (leta)

Why Are You Doing This? (rafael) Because Life’s Too Short To Spend It Fighting When You Could Be Holding The One You Love. And Love’s Too Rare To Squander It With Petty Concerns. I’m Lucky I Have Chloe And I Have No Intention Of Letting A War I Didn’t Start Rob Me Of One Second Of My Time With Her. Go In Peace, Dark-hunter. (apollite)

He Struggled To Breathe Through The Agony In His Chest. The Fates Were Still Mocking Him. It Must Be A Boring Day For Them Up On Olympus.

Good God, Dev. Have You Completely Lost Your Mind? Don’t Tease The Psychotic Tiger. He’s Getting All Angry And Frothing At The Mouth. Someone’s Going To Think He’s Rabid. (serre) Yeah, But Teasing Him Is Like Throwing Meat At Kyle. It’s Highly Entertaining. (dev)

Oh, Goodie. Let The Bloodbath Commence. (zarek)

Please Tell Me The Cave Just Had A Little Indigestion. (kat)

You Look So Out Of Your Element. (savitar) I Am Out Of My Element. Much Like You In A Seattle Goth Club. (acheron) I’m Never Out Of My Element, Atlantean. And It Must Be Dire Indeed To Get You In Shorties, And On A Board. One Day I’m Actually Going To Get You To Say ‘rad Four-mill Steamer, Dude! (savitar)

The Whole Point Of Life Is Learning To Live With The Consequences Of The Bad Decision We've Made.

Because People Learn From Their Mistakes, Danger. Pain And Failure Are A Natural Part Of Life. It's Kind Of Like A Parent Who Watches Their Child Fall Down While Learning To Walk.

How Could You Let Him Do This? (shahara) I Know You’re Not Going To Pin This On Me, Shay. I Didn’t Raise The Embryo. You Did. It’s What You Get For Teaching Him Things Like Honor, Love, Courage, And Loyalty. If You’d Left Him A Scared Little Snot-nose, He’d Still Be Living In Your Basement. (vik)

Be Glad You Have A Mother Who Loves You." He Was Glad Of That. A Lot, Since She Was Basically The Only Person On Earth Who Did.
