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)

I Might Have Lost Some Skin, But I Got Kissed By A Beautiful Woman Who Was Happy To See Me. I Gotta Say That’s Pretty Epic In My Book. Definitely Not A Worst-case Day Here.” – Sundown

What Are You Doing Out Here? (gallagher) Not Much. Akri Is Off With That Red-headed Demon So He Said I Could Go Play Just So Long As I Don’t Eat Nothing Not Cooked By A Human. But All My Favorite Places Are Closed So I Thought I’d Go Find The Bears Myself And See If Jose, Since He’s Human, Would Make Me Up Something Good That Wouldn’t Make Akri Mad If I Ate It. (simi)

What Are You? (danger) Well, Had You Listened Before You Stabbed Me, You Would Have Heard The ‘i’m Acheron’s Squire’ Part. Apparently That Somehow Escaped Your Hearing And You Mistook Me For A Pin Cushion. (alexion)

Maybe I’m Just Tired. (geary) People Only Say That When They’re Not Really Willing To Deal With The Issue At Hand. It’s Like When You Ask A Guy What He’s Thinking And He Says ‘nothing’ But In Reality You Know He’s Checking Out Another Woman And He Doesn’t Want You To Give Him Grief Over It. It’s Thia’s Theory. (tory) I Think You Need To Stay Away From Her Before She Corrupts You. (geary) Nah, It’s Too Much Fun. She Has The Most Misguided Views On Everything. But I Think What I Just Said Is One Of The Few Lucid Thoughts She’s Ever Managed. (tory)

My Parents Died A Long Time Ago. And You Know The Sad Thing? I Still Miss Them Every Day. I Spent My Entire Youth Fighting With My Dad Over Every Little Thing And Damned If I Wouldn’t Sell My Soul To See Him One More Time And Tell Him I Was Sorry For The Last Words I Said To Him. Words I Can Never Take Back That Should Have Never Been Said. So Call Your Mom. No Matter What Kind Of Relationship You Have With Your Parents, I Swear To You, You’ll Miss Them When They’re Gone.

But One Thing I Realized With My Brother Is That You Can’t Toss Your Pearls Before The Swine. I Think That’s Why My Mother Insisted You Give Anonymously. The Instant Anyone Sees That You’re Kind And Giving, They Immediately Take Advantage Of It. They Seem To Mistake Kindness For Weakness And Giving For Stupidity. (aiden)

You’re Not A Morning Person, Are You? (simone) I’m A Dream-hunter/demon. By My Very Nature I’m Nocturnal. That Big Yellow Ball In The Sky Offends Me To The Very Core Of My Being. (xypher)

I’m Here Because I Know The Sadness Inside You. I Know What It Feels Like To Wake In The Morning, Lost And Lonely And Aching For Someone To Be There With Me. (sebastian)

It’s Broke Again, Akri. The Man Downstairs Done Said That The Simi Can’t Charge Nothing Else Until I’m Not Over My Limit No More. I Don’t Know What That Means, But I Don’t Like It. Fix It, Akri, Or Else I Might Eat Him. The Simi Gots Needs And I Needs My Plastic To Work. (simi)

I Find That Hard To Believe. Nothing Comes Free In This World. Ever. (sin) Then Get Up And Get Dressed. There’s The Door. I’m Sure You Know How To Use It. It’s A Really Simple Process. You Put One Foot In Front Of The Other, Turn The Knob, And Keep Going. (kat)

What’ Cha Doing Out Here All Alone? Did You Forget How To Find Sanctuary? (simi) No. I Want To Be Alone For A Bit. (gallagher) Why? Were The Bears Mean To You? Mama Can Get A Bit Cranky Whenever I Play With The Cubs. She Thinks I’m Going To Eat One, But Bleh! They’re Way Too Hairy. Now If She’d Let Me Skin One, I Might Be Interested. (simi) Are You Joking? (gallagher) Oh No. I Never Joke About Hairy Food. (simi)

Well . . . He Lets It Ruin His Life. He Gets So Obsessed With Going After The One Thing That Hurt Him That He Loses Sight Of Everything Else. He Becomes Isolated From Everyone And Everything. Paranoid. He Feels Like He Can't Trust Anyone Around Him Ever. In The End, He Loses Everything, Even His Life. And For What? Total Stupidity, If You Ask Me.

Everyone Wants Someone They Can Hold And Love. Someone Who Will Be There To Help Pick Up The Pieces When Everything Falls Apart. (acheron)

Judge No One Until You Know Their Circumstances. No Matter How Awful They Seemed, Sometimes There Was A Valid Reason For Their Behaviour.
