You Like Rock? Little Boy, I’m Not Your Friend. I’m Not Your Dark-hunter And I’m Not Your Friggin’ Date. You Only Speak To Me When I Ask You A Question. Otherwise You Keep Your Mouth Shut, Your Eyes Off Me, And You Might Live Long Enough To Get Me To The French Quarter. (zarek)

Yeah, I Wish I Could Have Stayed Awake Long Enough To See Your Face When I Changed Over. (wren) No, You Don’t. I Assure You, It Wasn’t Pretty. (maggie) There’s Never Anything About You That Isn’t Pretty, Maggie. You’re The Most Beautiful Woman I’ve Ever Seen. (wren)

The Simi Has Needs. Lots Of Needs. I Need Akri’s Plastic Card, For One Thing. It Very Nice. People Give Me Lots Of Stuff When I Hand It To Them. Ooo, I Really Like The New Plastic Card He Gave Me With My Own Name On It. It Blue And All Sparkly And It Says Simi Parthenopaeus. Doesn’t That Have A Nice Ring To It? I Have To Say It Again. 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)

Greetings, O Great Gazoo. How Nice Of You To Join Us Here On Planet Earth Again. (cael) Thanks, Barney. How’s Betty And Bam Bam Doing?

It’s The Ones In Red Who Are Always The Downfall Of Good Men. (acheron)

So How Do You Know Him? (shahara) I Knocked On His Door One Day And Said, ‘hi, I’m Here To Rob You. Hope You Don’t Mind. Oh, And By The Way, Will You Be My Friend?’ (syn)

Now Leave. (adron) Why Would I Want To Do That? I Mean, Heaven Forbid I Should Be Around Someone Who Actually Likes Me. It’s So Much More Fun To Be Here With You Insulting My Manhood And Questioning My Parentage Every Five Seconds. (tiernan)

Modus In Rebus There Must Be An End Of Things.

It’s Your Son I Intend To Mount And Ride. Good Day.

About A Hundred Or So Years Before You Were Born, A Dark-hunter Made The Mistake Of Falling In Love With His Talpina. Unfortunately For The Rest Of Us, She Didn’t Pass Artemis’s Test. Artemis Was So Angry, She Stepped In And Banished The Talpinas From Us, And Implemented The Oh So Wonderful You’re-only-supposed-to-sleep-with-them-once Rule. As Further Backlash, Acheron Came Up With The Never-touch-your-squire Law. I Tell You, You Haven’t Lived Until You’ve Tried To Find A Decent One-night Stand In Seventh-century Britain. (talon)

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)

Cupid Is Anything But Cute. As For Handing Our Hearts, He’s More Likely To Rip Them Out. (julian) But He Can Make People Fall In Love. (selena) No. What He Offers Is An Illusion. No Power From Above Can Make One Human Love Another. Love Comes From Within The Heart. (julian)

It Would Have Really Cramped My Future Plans Had I Died. (nick)

Future Planning

Aren’t You Afraid They’ll Arrest You? (shahara) I Wasn’t A Convict, Dagan. I Was An Illegally Purchased Slave. My Owner Has No Legal Claim On Me. And I’m No Longer A Kid Learning My Powers. I’m A Full-grown Man With An Ax I Want To Bury In The Forehead Of Anyone Dumb Enough To Come At Me. I Defy The Bastards To Try Something Now. (nero)

So, How Do You Kill A Dragon? (channon) With A Very Sharp Sword. (sebastian)
