Simi Parthenopaeus. I Like That A Lot. It Even Has My Picture In The Corner And I Am A Very Attractive Demon If I Do Say So Myself. Akri Says It, Too. ‘simi, You Are Beautiful.’ I Like It When He Tells Me That. (simi)

But Don’t You Find The Concept Of Love Unusual? (alix) Not At All. Love I Understand Completely. It’s Hatred That Puzzles Me. I Don’t Comprehend Finding Pleasure In Cruelty. (vik)

You Need To Modulate That Unwarranted Ire, Buddy. I'm Not Your 'ho And You Ain't My Pimp

Fang Let Out A Low Whistle. "anyone Know That Amazons Could Ride A Giant Bird?" Ethon Gave Him A Duh Stare. "those Of Us Who Fought Them, Yeah, We Know. How You Think They Keep Kicking Our Asses?" "cause You're Pansies. Everyone Knows That.

Well, We Better Be Quick And Not Become Human Popsicles. I’m Going To Be Really Upset At You If I Freeze To Death. (shahara)

They’re Plotting Against You. (jaden) Who? (jericho) Your Best Friends, Fool, Who Do You Think? The Easter Bunny Or The Assholes Who Brought You Here? Fyi, They’re Planning To Feed You To The Gallu So That They Can Control Your Powers Without Your Fighting Them. If I Were You, I’d Be Gone Five Minutes Ago. (jaden)

Yes, But I’ve Already Made My Fortune In Other Things. (solin) Such As? (geary) Viagra. My Brother Learned To Take A Personal Problem And Profit By It. (arik) It’s True. It Pained Me To See A Man As Young As Arik Stricken With Impotency. Therefore I Had To Do Something To Help The Poor Soul. But Alas, There’s Nothing To Be Done For It. He’s As Flaccid As A Wet Noodle. (solin) How Creative Of You To Project Your Problem Onto Me. But Then, They Say Celibacy Is Enough To Make A Man Lose All Reason. Guess You’re Living Proof, Huh? (arik)

See What? I Didn’t See Anything. There Were No Scary People There. Nothing Freaky. I’m Going Home Now And Tomorrow I’m Going To Have The Doctors Check For A Brain Tumor. Full Battery Of Tests. Whole Nine Yard. Whatever’s Wrong With Me, We’ll Find It And Deal With It. At This Point, My Vote Is Either Tumor Or Space Alien Testing. Either One Works For Me. (geary)

And I Flunked Anger Management The Moment I Put The Counselor Through A Stone Wall. You Might Want To Keep That In Mind. [thorn]

Do Y’all Have Enough Stun Guns For Them? (madaug) Does A Bear Defecate Rurally? What Kind Of Question Is That For Someone Who Owns The Biggest Gun Store In Town? Of Course I Got Plenty. I Got Enough Tasers To Light Up New York City And Boston Just For Giggles. (bubba)

I Like That Zarek. He Quality People! He Even Gave Me A Can Opener So I Don’t Have To Use My Fangs. I Like That. Metal Is Hard On The Teeth. Pork And Beans Popsicle. Yummy! My Favorite! (simi)

Asteros's Motto: "most Experience Comes From Bad Judgement.

The Past Is Dead. Tomorrow Will Become Whatever Decision You Make It. ~ Acheron.

Decisions You Make

I’m A Goddess Of Destruction. Tell Me Honestly That You Find Nothing Exciting About The Idea Of A Billion People Screaming Out For Mercy When There’s No One Left Who Cares What Befalls Them. Of The Entire Earth Being Rained On By All Manner Of Demons Bent On Ultimate Torture And Sacrifice. Them Ripping And Shredding Human Flesh As They Claw In A Drunken Frenzy Fueled By Their Hatred Of Everything. Drinking Blood In An Orgy Of Terror...ahhh, The Beauty Of Annihilation. There’s Nothing Like It.(apollymi)

He Was Surrounded And They Were Hungry For What Few Brain Cells He Had Left. But You Know What? He Wasn't About To Give In Or Give Up. If He Was Going Out, It Would Be The Way He Had Come Into This World. Fighting For Every Single Breath.

What? Was He Raised In A Barn? Didn’t He Ever Learn How To Close A Door? Amateur Shape-shifters…no Manners Whatsoever.” – Sasha “do We Need To Get You A Midol Before We Go?” – Sundown “i’m Not That Easy To Soothe, Cowboy. My Peeves Are On A Cellular Level.” – Sasha

I Learned The Bad Guys Are Not Always Bad, The Good Guys Are Not Always Good.

I Hate You! (artemis) Oh, Please Don’t Get My Hopes Up. You Almost Gave Me A Hard-on With That Thought. At Least Tell Me This Time Your Hatred Will Last More Than Five Minutes. (acheron)

Patience To The Spider

The Simi Gots Some Barbecue Sauce In Her Bag. It Kind Of Looks Like Blood If You Squint At It The Right Way. And It Don’t Coagulate Between Your Teeth Like Blood Or Give You Them Funky Burps, Not To Mention It Tastes A Lot Better Too. Especially Over That Type A Stuff. Bleh! I’d Rather Eat My Shoes. But That O-flavored Blood…yum! (she Straightened And Held One Finger Up In A Gesture That Strangely Reminded Him Of Smokey The Bear.) And Just Remember, Kids, Three Out Of Four Demons All Prefer Barbecue Sauce Over Hemoglobin. (simi)

Alone At Last. Oh, The Pleasure Of The Pain. (zarek) You Really Do Suffer From Insanity, Don’t You? (thanatos) Hardly. I Have To Say I Enjoy Every Minute Of It. (zarek)

Excuse Me, Scary People. (alix)

Why Do You Tolerate It? (kat) The Same Reason Sin Hasn’t Resigned Himself To Death. There Are Six Billion People On Earth Who Need Someone To Protect Them From Things That Are Scarier Than The Tax Man Or A Knife-wielding Stranger. Things That A Gun Won’t Stop. As Long As Their Lives Hang In The Balance, What’s A Little Humiliation For Me? (acheron)

He Offers You A Chance To Surrender. (female Gallu) I Told Him To Quit Sucking The Blood Of Idiots. It’s Now Infected His Own Intellect. (stryker)

You’re Not Worth The Salt In My Tears Or The Brain Power It Would Take Me To Even Conjure Your Face. (aiden)

You’re So Hilarious. You Know, If This Whole Daimon-slaying Gig Doesn’t Work Out For You, You Should Really Consider Being A Comedian. The Bright Barney Hair Color Would Just Add To The Overall Entertainment Factor.

I Can Tell You Love Him. (syn) Yeah, Like A Boil In My Nether Regions. (kiara)

Yeah, Well, I Guess I Feel Like All Of Us Misfits Need To Hang Together. At Least That Way We Don't Swing Along. (tabitha)

I Think Infatuation Is Like A Garden. If Tended And Cared For, It Grows Into Love. If Neglected Or Abused It Dies. The Only Way To Have Eternal Love Is To Never Let Your Heart Forget What It's Like To Live Without It. -vane

(he Went To Tory And With One More Push, His Son Slid Into His Hands. For A Full Minute, He Couldn’t Breathe As He Stared At The Tiniest, Most Perfect Creature He’d Ever Seen In His Life.) “is It A Smurf?” - Tory

Don’t Yell At Me When I Just Survived A Near-death Experience. (abbie)

Near Death Experience

The Legislature Have Anxiously Provided For Those Most Useful And Deserving Body Of Men, The Seamen And Marines Of This Country.

Answer My Question, Bacchus. I’m Not One Of Your Dickless Greeks To Be Kept Waiting For An Answer. (camulus) You Better Take A More Civil Tone With Me, Cam. I’m Not One Of Your Flaccid Celts To Shake In Terror Of Your Wrath. You Want To Fight, Boy, Bring It On. (dionysus) Whoa, Hang On A Second. Let’s Save The Fighting For When You Two Take Over The World, Okay? (styxx)

Your Mama-akra Sent That To You, Akri, To Hurt The Heathen-god. Now It’s Dimonique Time. The Simi Can’t Be Bothered We No Greek God Messing With The One Who Pays The Plastic Bills. Can The Simi Have That Black Metal Card She Loves So Much? (simi)

He Was Through Playing Games. When It Came To Soteria, He Had No Sense Of Humor Whatsoever. Anyone Who Threatened Her, Ended Their Life. It Was That Simple.

Then Why Can’t I Bully You Into Procreating? (wulf) See! I’m The Only Human In History To Have Viking Yenta Of His Very Own. God, How I Wish My Father Had Been A Fertile Man. (chris)

It's The Lack Of Humanity In The Human Psyche That Haunts Me. The Hypocrisy. How People As A Group Can Take Something Like Tolerance And Contort It Into A New Form Of Intolerance And Conformity. The Way Humanity Can Justify Any Kind Of Evil.

What Now? (shahara) I’m Thinking. (syn) Could You Think A Little Quicker? (shahara) You’re Not Helping. (syn) You’re Lucky You’re Still Breathing And Not Limping. (shahara)

In The Land Of Badass, You’ve Just Been Trumped. If Dark-hunters Had Inmates, These Would Be They. Known As The Dogs Of War Because That’s What They Thrive On, They’re Cold-blooded And Intolerant. Congratulations, Bud, These Are Your New Protectors. (acheron)

But You Helped Me And Arik. Why Would You Do That If You Really Feel That Way? (geary) What Can I Say? It’s So Much More Enjoyable To Snatch Victory From The Hands Of The Gullible. You Guys Make The Most Delightful Sound Of Agony When You’re Betrayed. (solin)

I Didn’t Know I Could Do That. I Mean I Knew I Could Do That Before, But I Didn’t Know It Was Actually Working Now Until You Screamed. I Thought I Was Just Imagining It. And Don’t Give Me That Look…sorry? (xypher)

It’s A Gift. (artemis) Nothing Is Ever Freely Given. (acheron)

Desi, Babe. Still Playing Your Little Games, I See. Now Why Don't You Be A Good Daimon And Show Yourself To Me? (kyrian)

People Make Their Own Reality. That Was What Praxis Had Taught Him Years Ago. A Hundred People Can Witness The Exact Same Event, And Give Two Hundred And Three Different Accountings Of It.

No, I Was Just Wondering Who You Killed To Reclaim Your Health. (wulf) I’m Sure The Cows You Eat Aren’t Exactly Thrilled By Their Slaughter Either. (urian) They’re Not People. (wulf) In Case You Haven’t Noticed, Dark-hunter, There Are A Lot Of People Out There Who Aren’t Human Either. (urian)
