You Can’t. He Has It Shielded. Besides, He’s A God And Can Be A Nasty One If You Upset Him. You Try Popping Into Any Place Where His Beloved Wife Is And You’ll Get Fried Faster Than Chicken At Kfc.

Thank You, Geary. (arik) For What? (geary) For Giving Me A Life That Is The Best Dream I’ve Ever Had. (arik)

You’re The Only Thing I’ve Ever Done Right In My Entire Life And If Anything Ever Happened To You, They’d Have To Dig Two Graves ‘cause I Couldn’t Live A Single Day Without My Baby Beside Me. (cherise)

Because People Are Ever Willing To Believe The Negative Over The Positive. It’s Easier For You To Think Me Corrupt And Evil Than It Is For You To See Me For What I Really Am. No One Wants To Believe That Some People Are Willing To Help Others Out Of The Goodness Of Their Hearts Because They Can’t Stand To See Someone Suffer. So Few People Are Altruistic That They Can’t Understand Or Conceive That Anyone Else In The World Could Ever Put Someone Else’s Good Above Their Own. (leta)

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

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)

Your Mother Was A Goatherder. (savitar) It’s An Honorable Profession. (takeshi) Yeah, For A Goat. (savitar)

Black Belt In Akihito. (amanda) Any Other Time, I'd Kiss You For That. (kyrian)

So Would You Like To Join Me For Something To Eat? (jericho) As Long As It Doesn’t Involve The Entrails Of Demons, I Might Be Persuaded. (delphine) Demon Entrails Have No Appeal For Me, Either. Zeus’s Are Another Matter. (jericho)

As For The Age Of Electronics, Selena, I Really Don't Want To Get Personal With Something That Comes With A Warning Label And Batteries. (grace)

There Were Only So Many Kicks A Dog Could Take Before It Turned Vicious.’ (acheron)

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)

I Have You – A God Of Mixed Heritage – On An Expedition That Could Unleash The Destroyer From Her Hole. Arikos, Another God, On The Same Team Who Is Masquerading As A Human. The Demigod Solin, Who I Have To Ride Herd On Constantly Anyway, Who Gave Them Their Permits. Megeara, A Human Who Is Sensitive And Subjective To The Voices Of The Gods. And The Pissed-off Goddess, Apollymi, Who Will Do Anything To Be Free, And Once Free Wouldn’t Hesitate To Destroy Every One Of Us. I Can’t Imagine Why I’m Concerned Over This, Can You? (zt)

I’ll Wait Out Here Until The Two Of You Are Finished. Just Call Out If You Need Anything. Like A Priest, Cop, Or Lion Tamer. (aimee)

I'm Not People, I Only Eat Them.

Yeah, It’s Me, But I Like To Think I Looked Better When We Met. ‘cause Right Now, I’m Pretty Much Hogging All The Ugly. (nick)

And There’s One More Thing. (gabriel) Neutering? (zeke)

Sometimes Things Have To Go Wrong In Order To Go Right.

Things Are Always Given To Us When We Need Them... You Just Have To Decide If You're Strong Enough, Brave Enough, To Seize It And Make It Yours. (acheron)

What’s This? (fang) One For All And All For Fun, My Friend. You Didn’t Think I’d Let You Fight Demons All On Your Own, Did You? (thorn)

Oh, I Remember How Beautiful You Were. You Didn't Have Any Hair. You Were Such A Bald Little Booger, I Thought I Was Going To Have To Save Up To Buy You A Toupee.

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)

Hope Is That Tiny Light That The Gods Have Given Us So That We Can Find Our Way Through Our Darkest Hours. And While We Might Stub Our Toes And Bruise Our Knees, If We Keep Moving Forward, Even When Our Progress Is Slow And Painful, We Will Overcome And Be Made Better By Our Journey. … No Misery Or Bad Situation Is Ever Infinite Or Final Until We Make A Conscious Decision For It To Be So.

It Is Sometimes Difficult To Get Rid Of First Impressions.

First Impression

Because I’ve Lost My Children, Too, And I Know The Ache That Lives Inside The Heart That No Amount Of Solace Or Alcohol Will Squelch. I Know What It’s Like To Have The Powers Of A God And To Not Be Able To Hold The One Thing That Means The Most To Me. And If You Think For One Minute That I Would Ever Serve That To Another Being, Even Artemis, Who I’d Like To Torture For Eternity, Then Go Ahead And Call Down Your Army On Me. I Would Deserve Whatever Death They Give. (sin)

And As I Recall, You Told Me To Shut Up. (acheron) I’m An Asshole. I Admit It. I’ve Been Going To Weekly Assholes Anonymous Meetings, But It Takes A Long Time To Undo A Few Thousand Years Of Habit. And To Think You Have Even More Years To Undo Than Me. (zarek)

I Will Fear No Evil For I Am The Baddest Beast In The Land. (nick)

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)

Does Fang Have An Off Switch? Talon Asked Vane.

Don’t Play That Game With Me, Acheron. Tell Me What I Need To Know! (xypher) Nice Tone. We Should Rent You Out To Record Halloween Albums. (acheron)

It’s A Responsibility That I Take Most Seriously, So Excuse Me For Banning You From Killing Them Because You Have Reverse Pms. (acheron) Reverse Pms? (artemis) Yeah, Unlike A Normal Woman, You’re Cranky Twenty-eight Days Out Of The Month. (acheron)

It's Not Fair!" (ryssa) Because Life Was Ever About Fairness. Oh, To Be As Naive As His Sister.

Have You Ever Heard Of Feng Shui? (randy) Yeah. It’s The ‘put The Mirror On Your Door And Sleep In The Right Direction’ Bullshit. (steele)

My Niceness Has A Very Low Threshold And That Little Girl Just Sucked It Dry, So Don’t Push Me, Olympain. I Don’t Want So Much As A Single Atlantean Stone Overturned. Guard It With Your Life Because The Next Time I Come Here, That’s The Price I’m Going To Demand For Your Incompetence. (zt) Nice Talking To You, Zt. I So Look Forward To Your Visits. Next Time We’ll Do Pastries, ‘kay? (kat)

(his Heart Clenched As She Made A Kissing Noise To Him Then Handed The Phone Back To Vane. Gods, How He Loved That Woman.) Ahh, Tally, Me Lub You Too. (vane) Shut Up, Crotch-sniffer. You’re Not Allowed To Make Lovey Noises At Me, Only My Honey Is. (talon)

Choose Well Or Die. I Don’t Care Which. Just Don’t Get Blood On My Coat.

Safe. No One Ever Is. No Matter How Hard We Try. No Matter How Much We Plan And Prepare. There Will Always Be An Enemy At The Door And A Storm Trying To Knock Us Down. Life's Not About Security. It's About Picking Up The Peices After It's All Over And Carrying On.

Someone Please Tell Me That We’re Not Seriously Having A Friggin’ Debate Over The Genius Of ‘karma Chameleon’ At Seven O’clock In The Morning? (xypher)

We Don't Have A Choice In How Or When Our Bad Days Will Blindside Us. But What We Do Choose Is How We Allow Them To Leave Us Once They're Gone. You Can Use Those Moments As A Catalyst To Spur You On To Greater Things Or You Can Let It Be The Event That Breaks You And Leaves You Shattered And Forever Lost In Darkness.

Where Am I? (nick) Hospital. (kyrian) Really? No Kidding? And Here I Thought I Was At Mcdonald’s. (nick)

The One Thing I Try To Do With Everything I Write Is Open People's Eyes To Those They Normally Ignore Or Dismiss. To Make People Aware Of The "other" Side Of Things. That Someone's Circumstances May Not Be What You Think They Are Or What They Show To The World.

There’s A Human Out There Who Is Killing Off Dark-hunters, And Someone Needs To Stop Them.” – Andy “well, That’s Just Plain Rude.” – Sundown

I Love You, Don’t I? And The Gods Know You Are Definitely Not Easy To Deal With. (aimee) Thanks, Aim. By The Way I Still Have A Tiny Bit Of Confidence Left. Please Make Sure You Stomp On It Too While You’re At It. Gods Forbid It Should Actually Grow Into Something Called Self-esteem. (fang)

I Think It's Important For People To Know That Bad Things Do Happen To Good People And That Life Can Throw A Serious Curveball At Even The Most Cautious And "prepared" People Out There.

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. I Don’t Want To See A Baby Starve And Die Because Some Fat Politician Wants To Work Its Parents Into The Ground For A Mineral Most Of Them Can’t Even Pronounce. (devyn)

You Are So Vicious. (tee) Hence The Nickname. (syd) You Know It’s Bad When You Make Me Look Like Glinda The Good Witch, Right? (tee) Just Call Me Elphaba. But Don’t Drop A House On Me, ‘kay? (syd)

Look, I Don’t Care What The Ooga-boogas Do. It Sounds Like They Need A Family Counselor, Not A Sniper. (steele) They’re Not Ooga-boogas, They’re Uhbukistanis. (syd) Whatever. My Personal Belief Is That We Should Leave Ooga-booga Land To The Oomp-loompas. Let Them Fight It Out With The Snozzwangers, Wangdoogles, And The Mean Vermicious Knids. I’d Rather Go Peal Carrots With A Spoon. (steele)

While I Respect Suicidal Tendencies On Most Days, You’d Do Well To Remember Who You’re Addressing And, More To The Point, What I Can Do To You. No One Says You Have To Go Back To Tartarus In One Piece. (acheron)
