Ah, You Fight Like A Sissy Demon. (takeshi) Sissy Demon? Have You Ever Met A Sissy Demon? (savitar) I Killed Three This Morning. (takeshi)

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)

Before The Human World Developed Enough To Where We Could Exist At Night Under The Pretense Of Being One Of Them. Apollites Owning Businesses And Houses. Daimons Playing Nintendo.

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

Don’t You Two Girls Have Something Better To Do, Like Pick Out Toe Lint? (acheron)

You See, You’re Doing It Again. Telling Me Nothing. (tory) You Know, Trust Is Always A Good Idea…for Someone Else.

If You Don’t Live Though And Drop Dead From It, Can The Simi Eat You? Akri Says The Simi Can’t Eat No Living People, But He Never Said No Doubt Them Newly Dead People. Maybe That’s Why He Don’t Let Me Near Them Fresh Dead. (simi)

I Give You Points For Persistence, But You Lose A Few For Being Slow On The Uptake. (rae)

Then Let Me Put It To You This Way. There Is Seldom Black And White In Our World. Sometimes Things We Perceive As Good Have Moments Of Profound Evil, But Profound Evil Will Always Tell You That It’s Always Good. It Never Admits That It Could, In Any Way, Be Evil. (alexion)

Black And White

You Know, There Are Just Some Things You Never Expect To Face Even On This Job. A Flying Primate That Shoots Fire Out Its Nose Is One Of Them.

I’ve Never Met Anyone Who Had A Monkey For A Friend Before. (maggie) I Don’t Know. I Think Those Two Guys You Were With Would Qualify As Primates, But Then, That’s An Insult To The Primate And I Don’t Want Marvin To Get Pissed At Me. He Has Higher Sensibilities, You Know? (wren)

This Is Where Wulf’s People Would Get Drunk And Party For A Week. All Hail The Vikings, Forerunners To The Frat Boys! (chris)

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. (acheron) I Do Too Most Times And I’m Truly Grateful You Don’t Pry, But As A Man Who Defied Everything He Once Valued In This World And One Who Sacrificed The Love Of A Father He Worshiped…even Though It Ended Badly, The Days I Had With Phoebe Were Worth Every Wound I’ve Suffered.

I’m Protecting Her. (wulf) From? (chris) Daimons. (wulf) Big Bad Ones. (cassandra)

This Is The Swamp As I See It, But What I Can’t Capture On Canvas Is You As I See You. No Brush Or Paint Will Ever Show The Hero That You Are. It Will Never Be Able To Portray The Sound Of Your Voice When You Whisper My Name. The Way My Skin Tingles When You Touch Me. The Passion Of You Inside Me. I Love You, Talon. I Know That I Can’t Keep You. No One Can Ever Tame A Wild Beast. You Have A Job To Do And So Do I. I Only Hope That When You Think Of Me, It’ll Bring A Smile To Your Face. Love Always, Sunshine. (sunshine's Note)

Aren't You An Enigma Wrapped In A Thick Coating Of Contradictions.

Yeah. I Don’t Need Much, And Whatever Else I Need I’m Sure I Can Buy Since The Council Knows That I Am The Charmed One Who Has To Be Humored Lest The Big Bad Norseman Go A Viking On Their Heads. (chris)

Since When Does A Dog Care About What It Humps? (dev) I Could Go So Low With That That Even The Gutter Would Envy Us, But…i Know What You’re Trying To Do. You’re Trying To Provoke A Fight With Me So That You Can Legally Turn Me Away. I Really, Really Want To Give You That Fight, Too, But I Have To See Sasha And It Can’t Wait. Sorry. We’ll Have To Hump And Fight Later. (fury)

Why Did You Leave? (aiden) I Took Care Of The Person Harassing Him. Threat Gone. Job Eliminated. Anything Else You Want To Know? Dental Records, Fingerprints? Retinal Scan? (leta) Urine Sample Would Work. (aiden) What Cup You Want Me To Use? (leta) Does Anything Faze You? (aiden) I Fight People For A Living. Do You Honestly Think Peeing In A Cup Is Going To Frighten Me? (leta)

Sway’s An Idiot Who Didn’t Order Them When We Used Up The Last Bunch. (vik) Isn’t That Your Job? (devyn) No. I’m The Sub-idiot. Sway’s Head Idiot Because The Company Refuses To Deal With Mechas.

In Your Palms, I’ve Placed My Life, My Secrets. I Give You Freedom To Leave Me At Any Time. I’m Not Easy To Love. No One Ever Has. All I Ask Is That You Always Keep Your Silence, If Not For Me, Then For The Families Of The Others You’d Destroy. (nykyrian)

I've Had To Work Hard All My Life, And I Will Never, Ever Ask A Fan Or Reader To Pay For Something I've Rushed. It's Not Fair To Them, And I Will Never Give Them Anything Except My Absolute Best.

Dazed, Nick Nodded, Then Looked To Caleb. “i’m Such An Effing Idiot.” “we Knew That,” He Said Drily. “we Definitely Didn’t Have To Throw You Into A Coma For That Little-known Nugget.

Nick Was Dressed In Jeans, A Dark Green Sweater, And Bomber Jacket–the Perfect Image Of A Rich College Student. Talon Looked Like A Biker Who Had Just Left Sanctuary, New Orleans’s Premier Biker Bar. Acheron Looked Like A Refugee From The Dungeon–the Local Underground Goth Hangout. Valerius Was The Professional Contingent, And Zarek…zarek Just Looked Like He Was Ready To Kill Something.’ (talon)

Well, That’s Just A Little Hard, Since I Can’t Even Talk Her Into Sparing Your Life, Huh? You Haven’t Exactly Endeared Yourself To Her. (kat) Oh, Excuse My Utter Lack Of Manners There. Should We Call Mommy Dearest And Invite Her Over For Tea? I Promise To Be On My Best Manners When I Choke The Life Out Of Her. (sin)

I Know, Baby. I Feel The Same Way About You. Those Words Never Convey What Goes Through My Mind And Heart Every Time I Look Up And See You Sitting In My House. Funny Thing Is, I Always Thought My House Was Full And That There Was Nothing Missing In My Life. I Had A Job I Loved. Family Who Loved Me. Good Friends To Keep Me Sane. Everything A Human Could Want. And Then I Met An Infuriating, Impossible Man Who Added The One Thing I Didn’t Know Wasn’t There.” – Tory “dirty Socks On The Floor?” – Acheron

Don’t Worry. It’ll Never Happen Again. You Know Me, I Do Date Occasionally, But I Usually Spend At Least A Few Normal, Boring Days With A Guy Before We Rock The House Down. Of Course, No One Ever Rocked My House Down The Way This Guy Did. He Leveled The Mother To Its Foundations. (sunshine)

I Prefer Sidekick. I Tried Once For The Title Of Padawan, But Bubba Wigged Out Saying That Mentors Are Always Killed Off In Books And Movies And He’d Be Damned If He Was Going To Die Once He Taught Me Everything I Needed To Know About Killing Zombies.
