Which is why you deal with demons. (Acheron) Who are even more pathetic than humans when you think about it. Personally, I'd rather play video games. Wouldn't it be great if we could suck the souls of the people we hated into the box, shoot them down and then dance on their entrails? (Jaden)

Don't you like them? (Nykyrian) Did you see the price? (Kiara) I'm more than capable of supplying you with several wardrobes from here. (Nykyrian) But- (Kiara) But nothing, mu Tara. Start shoping. (Nykyrian) This really isn't- (Kiara) Kiara. Buy clothes or go naked. Personally, naked works for me. (Nykyrian) Fine. When you're homeless and bankrupt, remember I tried to stop you. (Kiara)

Don't you have any friends you could hand with?" - Nick "I do. But the problem is when I hang out with my friends, it usually gets ugly for the rest of you. Especially when we're bored. Nothing entertains us more than plagues, famine, war, and bloody massacres." - Death "You play D&D, too, huh? Who's your DM?" - Nick "The difference between my group and yours...our toys are real." - Death"

Alright then, let's explain it this way. There are four basic kinds of Daimons or vampires; bloodsuckers, soulsuckers, energy/dreamsuckers, and slayers. (Talon) You guys are the slayers. (Amanda) (Hunter snorted) What? Were you born with a remote in your hand? (Kyrian)

Athena came to stand by her side. She reached out and ran a light touch over the read wrap. 'Nice dress." Grace frowned in disbelief. 'They're fighting to the death and you're admiring my clothes?' Athena laughed. 'Trust me, I pick my generals well. Priapus doesn't stand a chance."

No. Real love takes time to build. What you feel is just infatuation. (Geary) But it doesn't feel temporary. (Arik) It never does at its onset. It's only in hindsight that we realize the difference between infatuation and love. (Geary)

What does this Daimon look like? (Xedrix) He's tall and blond. (Kyle) Well, that narrows it down to every Daimon here except Stryker. What would that be? Several thousand of them? Could you be a bit more specific and if you tell me he was dressed in black, I'll kill you myself and spare me the agony of dying. (Xedrix)

I'm just trying to imagine you in flannel pink sock monkey pajamas. I'm sure you look stunning in pink. (Damien) Actually, with his skin tone he probably does look really good in it. I would definitely say he's an autumn. (Kish) That's summer, you dweeb. (Damien) I find it fascinating that you two women know that color palettes for clothes have a name. The fact you corrected him really scares me. (Sin)

It was called love. The hardest thing in the world to find and keep, but the one thing that made the worst imaginable hell tolerable. More than hope, it was truly the light that guided the lost to safety and kept them sane in the midst of utter chaos.

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.

In all the universe, your mother is the only thing that truly scares me, especially where you're concerned. I don't ever want to be on her dark side. (Adron) Ha ha.

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.

His mother hesitated before she continued grilling him. "Is he a good boy?" "No, Mom, he's Satan incarnate. In fact, once it's over, we're going to get liquored up and tattooed, then find some cheap hos and have a good time with his trust fund." Caleb laughed."
