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)

Vik? You Ready? (devyn) Your Stupidity Is What I Live For, Captain. (vik)

Hey, Ms. P," Tad Called, "what's Going On?" She Let Out A Slow Breath Before She Answered. "you Won't Believe This... Brian Murrey Tried To Eat Scott Morgan." Nick's Eyes Widened At The Unexpected Explanation. Had He Heard That Right?

Menoeceus Is A Great Name. (astrid) For An Old Man Or A Feminine Hygiene Product. Not For My Son. And Next Time I Get To Name The Kid And It Won’t Be Something That Sounds Like Meningitis. (zarek) You Keep That Up And Next Time You’ll Be The One Birthing It, And Don’t Mess With Me, Bucko, I Have Connections In That Department. A Pregnant Man Is Not An Impossibility In My Neighborhood. (astrid)

And You Are? (xypher) Pissed Off. You Wrecked My Car, Shoved Me Around, And Are A Complete And Utter Dickhead! (simone) Dear God, What A Mouthful – Your Mom Must Have Really Wanted A Son. Mind If I Call You ‘pissed’ For Short? The Rest Of That Is Just Too Much To Say Every Time I Want Your Attention. (xypher)

So Is There Any Part Of You That’s Not A Lethal Weapon? (kiara) No. Even My Wits Are Sharpened. (nykyrian)

There Will Always Be A Part Of You That Misses Her. You'll See Something That Reminds You Of Her And Want To Tell Her About It, Only To Realize She's Not There Anymore. Then You'll Feel Her Loss All Over Again. (ravyn) You're Not Helping Me, Ravyn. (jack) I Know, Buddy. But You Will Eventually Make Peace With Yourself, And That's The Most Important Thing. Eventually, You'll Even Be Able To Smile Again When You Think About Her. (ravyn)

Well, I Should Like A Plan That Doesn’t Result In The Death Of My Heir. (eli) Would A Good Maiming Be Considered Over-the-top? (varyk)

Better To Be Judged By Twelve Than Carried By Six

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)

I Know Everything About Everything And Before I Dry Off Completely, Which Is Something I Truly Hate, You Better Go Outside, Collect Trates, And Have Both Your Asses Out Of Here Or I’m Going To Lose What Little Patience I Have. You Will Play By The Rules I’ve Set Up For Sanctuary, Or I’ll Use Your Entrails For Armbands. (savitar)

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. (kyrian)

There Is Some Pain That Nothing Heals" [zarek}

Why Is It When I’m The One Shot, I’m A Baby, But When It’s You, It’s A Matter Of Life And Death And National Security? (joe) Because I’m Cuter In A Short Skirt. (tee)

I Learned A Long Time Ago Not To Judge People By What They Look Like, Sound Like, Or By The Clothes They Wear. Just Because A House Is Nice And Shiny Out Front Doesn’t Mean It’s Not Rotting On The Inside. (kyrian)

In My Stories, I Controlled What Happened In A Way I Couldn't In Real Life. My Characters Lived Through The Horror And Degradation Of The Cruelty Of Others And They Not Only Survived, They Thrived. They Gave Me Hope And Laughter, And They Kept Me Going In Spite Of Everything Else. They Were My Heroes.

Can You Believe Our Ash Is Getting Laid? Our Baby Is Growing Up. I'm So Proud!

You Will Fail And I’ll Dance On Your Grave. (apollymi)

Have You Ever Noticed That Salvation, Much Like Your Car Keys, Is Usually Found Where And When You Least Expect It? (acheron)

Have Any Of You Taken A Look Out At Greece In The Last, Say, Hour Or So? (hermes) What? Are They Reacting To The Fact I Cursed The Apollites? (apollo) I Don’t Think That Bothers Them Nearly As Much As The Fact The Island Of Atlantis Is Now Gone And The Atlantean Goddess Apollymi Is Cutting A Swathe Through Our Country, Laying Waste To Everyone And Everything She Comes Into Contact With. And In Case You’re Curious, She’s Headed Straight For Us. I Could Be Really Wrong Here, But I’m Guessing The Woman’s Extremely Pissed. (hermes)

Just How Many Sisters Do You Have? (valerius) Eight. (tabitha) Eight? (valerius) What? (tabitha) I'm Just Pitying Whatever Poor Males Lived In That House With All Of You. It Must Have Been Truly Frightening At Least One Week Out Of Every Month. (valerius) Was That A Joke? (tabitha) Merely A Frightening Statement Of Fact. (valerius)

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)

If They Can’t Survive Alone For Four Days Once A Year, They Deserve To Die. (acheron) That’s Harsh, For You. (dante) Harsh? Tell You What, You Take My Phone And Skim Through The Three Thousand Phone Calls I Get Every Day And Night And See How Harsh I Am. I Truly Hate Modern Technology And Phones In Particular. I Haven’t Had A Full Four Hours Of Sleep In Over Fifty Years. ‘ash, I Broke A Toenail, Help Me. Ash, My Head Hurts, What Should I Do?’ (acheron)

Now Don’t You Be Covering For Him, Ash. (she Wagged Her Finger At Nick.) Are You Driving? (cherise) No, Mom. I’m Sitting. (nick)

What Happened?" -ethon "obviously Something Was Hungry And Bit The Bear." -kali

The Past Is Dead. Tomorrow Will Become Whatever Decision You Make It. ~ Acheron.

Decisions You Make

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)

Come, My Lady Dangerous, Your Daimons Await. (valerius)

Not To Mention, We’re Using You For Bait. (syn) Are You That Drunk? (nykyrian) What? I Wasn’t Supposed To Tell Her That? (syn) I’m Bait? (kiara) No, You’re Not Bait. Ignore The Alcoholic Whose View Of Reality Is Distorted By His Brain-damaged Hallucinations. (nykyrian)

You’ve Got To Be Kidding Me. I Thought You Were The Most Powerful Of Beings. Even The Gods Fear You. (stryker) We All Have Predators. The Entire Universe Exists In A System Of Checks And Balances. I Just Met My Zero Balance. (war) Are You Honestly Telling Me That The Most Powerful Creature On This Planet Is A Pathetic Cajun Guttersnipe Who Offed Himself Because One Of My Men Killed His Mommy? (stryker)

Are You Suggesting I’m Not Normal? (nykyrian) Oh Yeah, Baby, You Ooze Normality. From The Top Of That Assassin’s Braid To The Tip Of Those Boots That I’m Pretty Sure Conceal Retractable Blades. You’re Just An Average Joe. No Doubt About It. Cause, You Know, Everyone Sits For Hours Doing Nothing But Typing. (kiara)

They Have Demons On Antarctica?” “yeah,” Ash Breathed. “it Wasn’t Always Covered By Ice, That Was Just A Precaution When They Buried Them.

Oh No, If You Really Want To Be Wicked To Him, Nuke It First. (geary) Yeah, But Given His Reaction To The Cupcake, That Might Overload His Taste Buds With Pleasure And Kill Him. (tory)

(unsure If She Should Laugh Or Groan, Astrid Held Fast To The Tank Before Her As Zarek Pushed The Snowmachine To The Limits. It Vibrated So Badly That She Half-expected It To Disintegrate Underneath Them.) Cap’n, I Don’t Think She’ll Hold. The Warp Engines Can’t Take Any More. It’s Going To Blow Apart. (astrid)

Oh God, I Just Kissed A Vampire!" Oh Gods, I Just Kissed A Human!

Oh, Yeah, Insanity Ran Deep In The Roots Of That Family Tree.’ (talon)

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

He Looked Down At Her. "have You Found That Peace?" Yes, She Had. But It Was So Corny And Cliched That She Couldn't Bring Herself To Admit It. "a Wise Man Once Told Me That Peace Has To Come From Within. We Have To Learn To Like Ourselves Before We Can Find Our Place In The World.

Trust Me, Joe. You’re Not A Cowboy. The Only Cows You Ever Saw As A Kid Came Under A Plastic Wrap In The Grocery Store Or In A Paper Wrapped From Mcdonald’s. (tee)

I Killed Your Friends.” – Abigail “and I’m Not Happy About That. But Your Head Wasn’t Screwed On Right. It’s Easy To Let The Enemies In And Listen To Them Sometimes, Especially When They’re Pretending To Be Your Best Friends Who Only Want The Best For You. At Least That’s What They Claim. They’re Insidious Bastards, Telling You What You Want To Hear And Using Your Emotions To Manipulate You Think Doing Their Bidding.” – Sundown

And I Flunked Anger Management The Moment I Put The Counselor Through A Stone Wall. You Might Want To Keep That In Mind. [thorn]

Nick Glowered At Ash. "are We Through Now, Dad? Can I Go Play With My Friends If I Promise To Be A Good Boy? I'll Even Try And Make It Home By Curfew." Ash Laughed Evilly. "oh, Absolutely, Son. In Fact, Here Come Your New Playmates Now.

You Always Obey Him? (medea)if I Didn't Want To Live, I'd Stop Taking Human Souls And Expire. It Would Be A Lot Less Painful Than Crossing Stryker. (devyn)

You Know, I Met A Wise Man Centuries Ago In China Who Said To Me, ‘he Who Lets Fear Rule Him, Has Fear For A Master. (acheron) Confucius? (talon) No, Minh-quan. He Was A Fisherman Who Used To Sell What I’m Told Was The Best Zong Zi Ever Made. (acheron)

It’s Been A Whole Day Since I Last Killed Someone, And I’m Getting Antsy. (maxis)

I’ve Been Around A Lot Of Wraiths, And He Doesn’t Feel Like That Either, Though. It’s A Strange Sensation. Like Human Wrapped In Evil.” – Caleb “oh, Great. Our Coach Is A Pig-in-the-blanket For Satan.” – Nick

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.

What? Was That A Laugh? (delphine) No. (jericho) Yes, It Was. I Heard It. Holy Cow, Call Hermes To Spread The News. I Think I Just Started The End Of The World…it Has To Be A Sign Of The Apocalypse. (delphine)

I Would Have, Had Someone Not Detonated Their Charges Prematurely. (nykyrian) Yeah, Cruel. You Have To Watch That Premature Detonation Problem Of Yours. (hauk)

Akri Infallible. Well, Except For A Couple Of Things, And We Don’t Talk About Those ‘cause It Makes Akri Cranky. I Like That Word ‘infallible.’ It Just Like Me. Infallible. (simi)

Yes,yes I Did. I Told Them To Come In And Make Themselves At Home And While They Were At It, To Immobilize Me And Stab Me Straight Through The Heart 'cause I'm Just That Effing Bored." (sam)

Then Why Don’t You And Bubba Have Girlfriends? (nick) I Don’t Want The Drama Of It. After The Last One Burnt Up All My Clothes With My Jack Daniel’s Black Label Collection And Tried To Decapitate Me With My Cds, I Decided I’d Take A Hiatus For A Bit. (mark)

Uh, Folks, I Think That’s Our Boat Trying To Kill Us. (scott)

I’m Telling You Right Now I Could Make Him Pop An Aneurysm And No One Would Know. (nero) Doesn’t That Kind Of Murder Bother You At All? (alix) Given Everything People Have Done To Me In My Life, Little Girl, Especially In My Childhood When I Was Helpless Against Them, Humanity Is Lucky I’m Not On A Perpetual Killing Spree. As For The Merjacks…i Owe Them A Debt That No Amount Of Violence On My Part Will Settle. So, No. Nothing About Killing Him Would Bother Me. (nero)

There Was Something About Ash That Made Every Hormone In Her Body Stand Up And Pant For More

You Make One Tiny Variable And So Help Me, I’ll Have You Slaughtered Where You Sit. (kiefer) He’s Just Such A Nice Man. (nykyrian)

We’re Not That Strong Anymore. (hades) Oops, Guess I Screwed Up. Inability To See The Consequences Of Our Thoughtless Acts Must Run In The Family. So Much For My Father Being A God Of Prophecy, Huh? (stryker)
