Everything That Happens To Us, Good And Bad, Leaves A Lasting Impression In Our Souls. You Take One Part Of That Out, And You Can Completely Rewrite Something Crucial About Us. By And Large, We're Not Shaped By The Big Things. It's The Little, Day-to-day Moments That Make Us Who We Are. Who We're Going To Be. (nekoda To Nick)

Lasting Impressions

Stay Out Of This, Zebulon. (dolophoni) You Guys Come To My Town, You Don’t Call. You Don’t Write. And You Expect Me To Just Let You Run Amok In Front Of The Humans? Really, Deimos, Don’t Tread Here Unless You Want To Bleed. (zt)

Why Are You Talking To The King Loser Dork? You Want To Talk About Ugly? Look At What He’s Wearing. (stone) I Like A Man Who Takes Fashion Chances. It’s The Mark Of Someone Who Lives By His Own Code.

So Why The Sudden Girlspeak, Urian? Neither One Of Us Is Really Into Discussing Our Feelings…and No Offense, I Like The Fact We Don’t.

It’s As If Your Kind Needs Adversity In Order To Achieve. (leta) No, We Don’t. That’s Just A Lie People Tell Themselves To Feel Better About All The People Who Kick Them In Their Teeth When It’s Just As Easy To Help A Man Up As It Is To Knock Him To The Ground. That’s Why I’ve Withdrawn From This World. I Don’t Want To Have To Watch My Back All The Time And I’m Tired Of Trying To Figure Out If The Loyalty Someone Professes Is Real And True, Or Just Another Lie That Will Crumble The Instant They Taste Jealousy. (aiden)

Are You Two Having Some Sort Of Strange Human Thing That You Can’t Follow What I’m Saying? (simi)

What Do You Mean I Have A Predetermined Death?” – Nick “did I Stutter?” – Death “no.” – Nick “do I Look Like Webster’s?” – Death “no.” – Nick “then You Should Understand What I Said, Since I Didn’t Speak In Code.

Inside Us All Are Pieces Of That Which Makes The Neagitve. Demons Are Neither Good Nor Bad. Like You, They Have Many Facets. It Is That Inner Essence, Or Drive, If You Will, That We All Have That Guides Us Through Our Lives. Sometimes Those Voices That Drive Us Are Whispered Memories That Live Deep Inside And Cause Us Such Pain That We Have No Choice Except To Let It Out And To Hurt Those Around Us. But At Other Times, The Voice Is Love And Compassion, And It Guides Us To A Gentler Place. In The End, We, Alone, Must Choose What Path To Walk. No One Can Help Us With It. (menyara)

How Do You Do That? (abbie) What, Sweetheart? (hunter) Make Me Crazy To Beat You One Minute And Crazy To Love You The Next. (abbie)

You Like Being Vague, Don't You? (amanda) It Was A Choice Of Being A Dark-hunter Or A Prophet. Personally I Like The Slash-and-kill Stuff Much More Than Prayers And The Lotus Position. (acheron)

The Only Person On This Ship Who Gets Paid For What They Do Is You, Alix. The Rest Of Us Live Off Our Trust Funds And We Use Those Funds For Our Humanitarian Missions. I Do What I Do Because I Can’t Stand To See Innocent People Bullied By A Corrupt Government.

Do It, And I’ll Rip Your Heart Out And Feed It To Your Friend. (julian)

So What’s It Like To Live Without Emotions? (geary) It’s Hard. Imagine A World Without Taste. A World Where You Can See The Colors And All, But You Can’t Feel It. A Beautiful Clear Day Can Never Choke You Up. A Child’s Laughter Doesn’t Make You Smile. You Don’t Look At A Bunny And Think ‘how Cute.’ You Feel Absolutely Nothing. It’s Like Being Wrapped In Thick Cotton All The Time. (arik)

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.

You'd Be Surprised How Many People In The Modern Age No Longer Fear Zombies As Much As Teletubies.

Sweetie, In Our World, Fair’s Got Nothing To Do With Anything. He Who Has The Greatest Power Wins. It’s Why We’re All Willing To Kill Each Other Off Without Flinching. (solin)

…life Isn’t A Puzzle To Be Solved. It’s An Adventure To Be Savored. Let Every Challenge Be A New Mountain To Climb, Not An Obstacle To Get In Your Way And Stop You. Yeah, It’ll Be Hard, But Once You Reach The Summit Of It, You’ll Be Able To See The World For What It Really Is. And At The Top, It Never Seems To Have Been As Difficult A Feat To Climb There As You First Made It Out To Be. Most Of All, You’ll Know That You Beat That Mountain, And That You Rule It. It Does Not Rule You.

Hey, T-rex? Remind Me Next Time I Want To Get Smartass With You That It’s A Really Stupid Move On My Part? (talon) Oh, No, You Don’t, You Wuss. You Told Me The Next Time You Saw Ash You Were Going To Ask Him If He’d Seen The Movie 10,000 Bc And If It’d Made Him Homesick. (wulf)

Honey, There’s Not A Single Woman In This Town Who Doesn’t Know About Sanctuary, Land Of The Bodacious Gods.
