Simi, Why Did Acheron Send You Here? (astrid) To Protect You From Thanatos So That Your Sisters Don’t Get All Freaky And Destroy The World. Or Something Like That. I Don’t Know Why All Of You Fear The End Of The World. It’s Not So Bad, Really. At Least Then Akri’s Mama Be Free. Then She Wouldn’t Be So Cranky At The Simi All The Time. (simi) Ash’s Mother Is Still Alive? (zarek) Oh, Akri Get Mad Whenever I Tell That. Bad Simi. I Not Talk Anymore. I Need Food. (simi)

Hey, Yummy Leather Guy? Can You Hear Me? (amanda)

You’re A Slave? (eleni) I Was. I’m Sorry. I Shouldn’t Have Come Here. (acheron) Take Your Cloak Off And Sit, Acheron. You’ve Done Nothing To Apologize For. I Admire You All The More For Stopping To Help Us. It’s Nothing For A Nobleman To Do So, Yet They Seldom Bother To Help Those Less Fortunate. For A Freedman To Speak Up In Defense Of Another Takes Great Courage And Character. What You Did Is All The More Noble And Kind, And I Would Be Honored To Have You Sit At My Table With Us. (acheron)

Well, If You’re Through Taunting Poor Mike, Are You Ready To Go? (nick) You Give Me Any Lip, Little Boy, And There Won’t Be Enough Left Of You To Run Through A Sieve. (zarek)

Judge No One Until You Know Their Circumstances. No Matter How Awful They Seemed, Sometimes There Was A Valid Reason For Their Behaviour. Granted, Some People Were Just Mean And Corrupt, But Not Always. Many People Were Just In Pain, And By Acting Out, They Were Only Trying To Protect Themselves From Being Hurt More.

Ectoplasmic Plane? What The Devil Is That? (simone) It’s Jargon From Those Of Us Who Are Corporeally Challenged. It’s The Great Beyond Where We Bounce Into Each Other Like Floundering Atoms. It’s Really Kind Of Gross – Which Is Why I Hang Out With You. But Only Because You’re Less Gross Than They Are. (jesse)

You’re Barely One Step Up From The Australopithecines, Aren’t You? (acheron) Hey, Be Respectful When You Say That, Snot Nose. Haven’t You Seen The Commercials? Us Cavemen Are Very Sensitive People. (savitar)

Oh No, No, No! Are You Going To Suck My Blood? (amanda Do I Look Like A Lawyer To You? (kyrian)

One Single Word And I Swear I’ll Rip Your Tongue Out. (zephyra)

If You Knew This, Why Did You Wait To Bring It Before The Omegrion? (savitar) Because I Was Afraid To Come Forward...(zack) And Now You're All Better? (savitar)

I Swear You’re A Woman. (devyn) I Would Respond To That, But I Don’t Want To Distract You While You’re Attempting To Drive And I’m Dependent On You For My Life. (sway)

Here I Am! Now What Are Your Other Two Wishes

You Know, It’s Amazing To Me The Wounds We Carry For Eternity. But What Has Fascinated Me Most These Last Few Years Is How The Right Person Can Heal Them. I Remember A Wise Man Once Said To Me That Everyone Deserves To Be Loved. Even You. (zarek)

Daimons, Vampires, Ghouls, Whatever You Want To Call Them. They Suck Your Blood And Your Soul And Leave You With Nothing. Kind Of Like Lawyers. (selena)

There Are Some Pains That Run Too Deep For Anything To Absolve Them. The Best We Can Do Is Pick Up The Pieces And Hope For The Strength We Need To Keep Going.

The Only Thing That Was Sharper And That Scarred More Was The Selfish Actions Of Those You Loved When They Made It Crystal Clear That They Cared More For Themselves Than They Did For You. Especially When It Was Someone You Trusted To Always Put You First.

Julian Dipped His Head To Her Ear Where He Nuzzled Her Neck. “i Will Love You Forever,” He Whispered.

People Aren't Just Ants Rushing Around Over A Crust Of Bread. Every Life, No Matter How Isolated, Touches Hundreds Of Others. It's Up To Us To Decide If Those Micro Connections Are Positive Or Negative. But Whichever We Decide, It Does Impact The Ones We Deal With. One Word Can Give Someone The Strength They Needed At That Moment Or It Can Shred Them Down To Nothing. A Single Smile Can Turn A Bad Moment Good. And One Wrong Outburst Or Word Could Be The Tiny Push That Causes Someone To Slip Over The Edge Into Destruction.

While Books Provided Me With Some Escape From The Mental And Physical Horrors Of My Early Life, They Were Unreliable. Many Times The Protagonists Suffered Terribly And Then Died At The End.

My Mother Always Said That The Strongest Steel Is Forged By The Fires Of Hell. That Which Doesn't Kill Us Doesn't Have To Make Us Bitter, Unless We Let It. Those Fires Show Us What We Can Survive And Clear The Field For New Growth. For A Better Harvest.

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)

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

A Man May Publish Anything Which Twelve Of His Countrymen Think Not Blamable.

Let Me Out Of Here, Katra. Now. (sin) I Can't. (kat) Then I Hope You Can Live With The Death Of Humanity On Your Conscience. I’ll Just Sit Myself Over Here Until It’s Over. You Got Any Good Dvds I Can Watch? It’ll Help Drown Out The Screams For Mercy. Especially From The Kids. Those Are Always The Hardest To Ignore. (sin)

I Love You, Man. You Rule! Thanks For The Food. It Touches Me Deep In My Tender Place. (sway) I Don’t Want To Know Nothing About Your Tender Place, You Freak. (devyn)

Only Because I’m Not A Morning Person. (joe) And You’re Not A Night Person Either. Face It, Babe. You’ve Only Got Two Good Minutes A Day. The Minute Before Noon And The Minute Right After. (tee)

I So Love The Smell Of Hatred And Revenge. It’s The Headiest Of Concoctions. (noir) I Personally Feel That Way Toward Blood. No Better Smell In The Universe Than When It’s Combined With The Aroma Of Those Fearing Death. (jericho)

You Know The Incredible Thing About Hearts Is Their Unbelievable Capacity For Forgiveness. You’d Be Amazed What People Will Overlook When They Love Someone. (acheron)

Here We Are. Maybe I Should Warn You Before We Enter...(asmodeus) (jericho Stepped Past Him And Threw Open The Door.) Or Maybe Not. Let’s Just Barge In And Be Surprised, Shall We? (asmodeus)

If Wishes Were Horses, Even Beggars Would Ride. (dark-hunter)

Don't Cross Me Scooby-doo. I'm Not An Old Man In A Mask Waiting To Be Thwarted By You Meddling Kids.

I Just Love The Gifts You Bring Me For Lunch. Other Girls Get Diamonds. Me? I Get Mayhem And Blood – And All Before Noon. Thanks, Tate. (simone)

I Just Don’t See How Anyone Can Be So Cold. (kiara) And You Should Be Grateful, Little Girl, To Whatever God You Worship, That You Can Say That. In The World We Come From, I Don’t Understand How Anyone Can Be Anything But Cold. (syn)

Let’s Just Say I Understand Betrayal. And Having Been Where He Is, I Know The Explosion To Come. Trust Me. ‘duck’ Won’t Quite Cover It. (sin)

What Was That Action? (aimee) Chuck Norris Meets Jet Li. (dev)

Oh, Sheez, What’s Syd Vicious Doing Back In Town? (payne) How’d The Testicle Retrieval Go, Payne? You Still Limping?...thought So. I Got The Thank-you Card From Planned Parenthood Last Week. Seems They Want To Honor Me For Saving The Gene Pool. (syd)

If People With The Very Best Intentions Carry On Prosecutions That Are Oppressive, The End May Not Always Perhaps Sanctify The Means.

I Know I’m Charonte And We Defer To Our Females, But You Have To Respect The Fact That I’m Charonte And We Protect Our Females To The End. You Be My Female. I Be Protecting. (xedrix)

Interesting, Isn’t It? What Do You Have To Say About That, Fury? (savitar) They’re On Crack. (fury) Anyone Else On Crack? (savitar)

Believe Me, I Know And I Almost Made The Same Mistake You Did. Evil Is Seductive. It’s What Makes The Two Of Them So Dangerous. (jericho) No. It’s Our Willingness To Believe Their Lies And To See What We Want To See That Makes It So Dangerous. Even When We Know Better, We Lie To Ourselves And That’s Where The True Betrayal Is. (jared)

Yeah, Well, Your People Happen To Be Soul-sucking Demons. (wulf) You Ever Met A Banker Or A Lawyer? Tell Me Who’s Worse, My Urian Or One Of Them? At Least We Need The Food; They Do It Just For Profit Margins. (phoebe)

You Are Just So Helpful, Andrei. (esperetta) I Try To Be, Princess. (andrei) And You Fail With Such Panache. (esperetta)

Fine. Sit Around Being Inconsiderate Asses…and You Wonder Why None Of You Are Married. (zarina) (sway Cleared His Throat Meaningfully.) Oh, Shush. You Don’t Count. You Had An Arranged Marriage. These Losers Can’t Get A Girl For More Than Three And Half Minutes It Takes Them To Embarrass Themselves With Their Feeble Gropings That Always Disappoint. (zarina)

Don’t, Cassandra. (wulf) Oh, Please. I Just Want To Choke Her For A Few Minutes. (cassandra)

Got To Say, Dying Would Really Wreck My Best Day. Been There, Done That, And Now That I Think About It, Artemis Forgot To Give Me The T-shirt.

And You Plan To Do This Alone? You Think A Lot Of Yourself, Don’t You Animal? (stone) Oh, Punk, Please. Believe Me, When Dealing With Wusses Like You Who Have To Gang Up On A Kid To Feel Powerful, I Don’t Need Any Help. (fang)

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)

Look, This Isn’t The Mummy. It’s Not Like A Teenaged Girl’s Diary Could Resurrect The Dead Or Anything. It’s Just The Story Of Her Innocuous Life. What On Earth Could An Ancient Girl Have Known That Would Be Worth Killing Someone Over? (tory) You’re Asking Me That Question? People Kill Each Other Over A Pair Of Shoes Or For Wearing The Same Jacket. (acheron)

Killing Someone

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)
