~Bethany

~Delia
Taylan was his baby brother and no matter who he wanted to fall in love with, Alex was always going to love him and try his damn best to look out for him. The way he looked at it, he'd missed out on almost twenty years of being Taylan's big brother and he had a lot to make up for.
~Alex
“I’m scared because I love you too.”
~Taylan
She quickly discovered that she rather liked being kissed, and especially by Neil.
~Bethany
“So tell me, will you still love me if I get fleas?”
~Antoine
If there was a way to ease your pain... I'd do anything...
~Dante
Yes, kissing was nice.
~Antoine
"C'mon my knight in furry armor. It's time to wake up."
~Bethany
"It's cruel how even when your world is falling apart the world outside doesn't even blink. No matter how your foundations shake, no one notices out there. But I'm not out there Dante. I'm right here with you. And I'm going to stay here with you. If we have to start back all the way at square one, if we have to rebuild from scratch every single day. I'm here for you."
~Taylan
"Death can't change love."
~Taylan
Forever… I never want to let you go. I never want you to let me go. I’ll never tell you to let me go because then I would not be… me…
~Dante
If it weren't against all laws of common sense, physics, and probably gravity too, little hearts would have popped out of his head.
~Taylan
“You know that saying ‘tis better to have loved than to never have loved at all’ or some emotional poetic crap like that?” She sat down crosslegged once more.
“They lied.”
~Dakota
"Do you have any idea how unfulfilling it is to declare undying love for someone who won't take her face out of her pillow?"
~Antoine
"We ought to do this more often... I might change your mind about girls you know..."
~Sere to Taylan
"Merci" Luc said, doing his best to ignore the look that Taylan was giving him. It was always harder not to react to the "come hither" stare when it was coming from such a… unique source.
~Luc
Oh, why does he have to look like that.... he looks just so... oh Stop it! Just snap out of it... He's just a guy and you've been around guys before... but one this... well... ha-shut up... just shut up...
~Azura on Valentine
He is embarrassed... this... Greek god is embarrassed... haha! How cool!
~Azura on Valentine
“Oh, aye? I bet ye say that to all the sun-sensitive ladies."
~Magda
To say that Dante was surprised would have been an understatement. To say that he was happy would have been an even worse one. For once on this horrific day, he finally been able to do something right.
~Dante
"Unless you're a gorgeous man then I don't want to wake up just yet" He mumbled into the pillow of the couch cracking open one eye. "And I see that you're not so I refuse to move yet."
~Taylan

~Taylan
“You may think he's better off dead, but I LOVE HIM! And you are going to tell me where his is NOW, before I stain this expensive carpet with your blood!
~Dante
"Yes, Elizabeth was very beautiful, but the most beautiful thing was her soul. And her voice, it was like Angels, of course every love struck man says that about the woman he loves.”
~Valentine
"So you two cowed the CEO of the biggest software company ever, jumped out of a car before it got crushed, fought a dangerous battle, and blew up a van. All for me?" Taylan grinned a bit as he turned his head to look at Dante. "You know if you wanted to impress me, flowers and candy are a whole lot easier."
~Taylan
He snuggled up close to Dante, not caring that they both smelled vaguely like iodine and antiseptic wipes.
~Taylan
He had loved her and she repaid him by flashing a heartless bloodsucker in his face.
~Matt
The downsides of that quickly became apparent, those being that most importantly sinking into the ground usually didn’t involve two people and it would be rude to leave when so many people cared about you this much.
~Dante
It was good romance novel material in the beginning, angst and heartbreak... but now... it was nothing more than a dime store penny dreadful... a horror story more than anything else.
~Taylan
Most of the parts of his mind were paying more attention to the exquisite creature who had captured his attention, whole and entire, except for the pesky bits of his brain that were thinking about other things, or else devoted to keeping his body animated. Luckily the bits of his brain that were concerned with animation supplied the thoughtful neuron impulses that let him know Talori would die of asphyxiation if he didn't stop to allow her to breathe.
~Valentine
The critical, distant vampire had grown on her and she couldn’t remember when. The line was barely detectable between finding him completely attractive and finding herself incomplete without him.
~Paige
He had a grudging respect for Val. The man would move heaven and earth for the tiny frail person under the covers.
~Neil
"You are bound and determined to make me insane aren't you?”
~Antoine
“I know I say this every day but you’re an angel. I would never be able to get it this perfect in this state of mind.”
~Paige

War
"Look, damnit! I don’t care if they have the freakin' US Navy Seals waiting for us behind the next door.”
~Kendra
"Guess the Council license to destroy lives expired on my case and they forgot to renew it."
~Antoine
“Even if I wanted to back out now it would be too dangerous.”
~Paige
“It’s your call Andrei. Give up and you can save the girl. Continue this futile struggle and we’ll hunt you down, kill you, and she’ll still be dead.”
~Meredith
All he knew was these people had some very complicated lives and somehow he fell headfirst into their pool of pain.
~Neil
To say Paige was stunned at the mess she saw was like saying that Hiroshima had been a small fire.
~Paige
"The next time you try to break in I want to help!"
~Sere
"You’ve caused extremely erratic behavior in him and I am not about to let one little mortal fling ruin hundreds of years of careful work."
~Victor
"It might destroy your mind entirely which would probably kill you. But that is a risk I’m prepared to take. Don’t look so worried, there is a ten percent chance that you might survive the process child."
~Victor
“Your time is near and you’re going to reap the seeds you’ve sown… Father.”
~Alex
“I can't agree with you on that. I've seen humans do far worse things to one another than vampires ever have. If you need proof, look at the Holocaust... even more recent look at the dictator Pol Pot. Humans are by far the cruelest of all creatures I've ever seen. At times I feel ashamed to be one of them, just as you do to be a vampire. But the difference is that I won't give up on them. I'm not willing to condemn all humans for the actions of a part."
~Sere
"Bloody hell, I liked this cloak."
~Angel on being shot
Luc was nowhere to be seen but the carnage that he usually left in his wake was quite apparent. Two men bleeding to death and one passed out woman. Well, Luc had always been thorough.
~Magda
"C'mon y'silver haired sod. Get rid of this bloody dome so we can save your life."
~Magda
"Wow... makes me wanna hug the council more often... Not the happiest bunch of thugs, mind you..."
~Dakota
“My head might be spinning but I'm not so far gone that I don't know we're in deep shit still.”
~Taylan
Val felt his heart heavy as he watched the young healer, arming himself to become the bringer of death.
~Valentine
She pulled the trigger and didn't even blink as part of the woman's body actually disapeared... well, more like ended up on the wall behind them and the rest on anyone near.
~Dakota
"Its like trying to hold water in your hand... foolish to try and results are pathetic at best..."
~Valentine
Snap out of it! It’s not real, no matter how real it seems. You know how this works, its abnormal psych 507. You had a 4.0 in that class!!
~Taylan
"We won't," Dante said with such dead certainty that it practically dripped, 'and any gods or fates or whatever who get in our way will have some bloody trouble.'
~Dante
“Weapons? I have weapons? This is good!”
~Antoine as Aaron
DanClaude wasn’t the brightest light on the Christmas tree but he knew when he was in deep shit.
~Dorjan
Unless hunters are tracking us down right this very... shut up Antoine. You think too much. riiiight.
~Antoine
“Happily Ever After only happens in Fairy Tales and this is a horror story, you're lucky to make it out as And Things Were Never The Same Again."
~Antoine

~Neil
"I can't say I know who the hell either of you two are right now but if you are going to tear each other up then get away from me. I've had my fill of violence for the rest of my unnatural life."
~Dakota
"The council is run by idiots... most whom have never raised a weapon before. The rest are too old and crippled to raise one now anyway. They need to hand over the leadership to the next generation. We could finish this war off..."
~Azura
"I want to wake up one day and not know about the war. Be what everyone else view as normal. Or hell, maybe I just don't want to wake up seeing as how everything else is impossible... When I think about where I am going after this... where I'll be when I start over again, I have no idea where, or even how..."
~Dakota
Dorjan would have an easier time screwing a goat than he would getting her to ever be a slayer again.
~Azura
"Slayers think that they have the upper hand well, they've got another thing coming.”
~Trinity
At that point his blistering french words were highly colorful and was that paint peeling off the walls?
~Valentine
"Someone has a damn lot of explaining to do and I imagine that he’s involved somewhere in this whole damn thing..."
~Alex

Fashion
“Did you hear that, Gran? I’m going to be a samurai!”
~Dante
“Or what? You’ll quiver at me? No, I think your girlfriend could use a nice suntan. I mean, it’s a shame that she spends all her time in good ole’ Santa Monica but doesn’t even visit the sunny beaches.”
~Frank
That one went down under a particularly nice inch-and-a-half rubber soled, steel-toed boot.
~Soria
He was suddenly struck by the most inane idea. He had nothing to wear.
~Taylan
A fairy moved through the hallway of the hospital.
The people who saw her were the only people there this late at night: patients, staff, or people who were there because something most likely not good had happened to a family member or friend. Their first impression was “skin cancer victim.” Their second impression, if they even got there, was “hair dye addict.”
But the children… oh, when they saw her, they knew her for what she really was.
~Soria
Sere rolled her eyes amused by Val's choice of words he knew that she was no flower, more of a thorn bush with pretty leaves.
~Sere
"It never ceases to amaze me how easily vampires seem to be able to come by money. I wonder if its some kind of preternatural ability that they all have.”
~Taylan
“Might I suggest black and lots of guns?”
~Paige
Besides, you could never have too many healers around when everyone around you seemed to think drenching themselves in blood was a fashion statement.
~Magda
"Sorry... she's not my wife. She's, I don't know what. Satan in a dress comes to mind." Taylan remarked wryly. "Only I think that would be an understatement."
~Taylan
Bugger. He'd lost his hair tie.
~Dante
"Red sweaters don't mix with socks.”
~Dante

Recreation
Paige had been looking through a subscription of magazines that Aaron had, frowning at a few them but reminding herself that he really didn’t subscribe to them when the phone rang. She put Ms. November back in the drawer that she found it in.
~Paige
Alex drank his coffee straight up black, slap you in the face and then walk away cursing strong.
~Taylan
"Phone, phone dudette! We gots to call Brenna or else she's gonna think we're dead. Like the permanent kind of dead."
~Blaise
Christ, I sound like one of those herbal shampoo commercials.
~Antoine
“They put crack in those crumpets, didn’t they?”
~Janey
“Even a scrawny little stick like you can't live on instant soup forever.”
~Alex
He probably would have gone on for another ten minutes about the vices of Japanese rock when he felt Taylan lift his head off his shoulder and move backwards.
~Dante
“Are you two STILL playing video games? I’m going to have to water you and put you in the sun once in a while so you don’t wither.”
~Alex
Alex on the other hand announced that he would probably starve before he could figure out how to eat with sticks.
~Alex
Neil gave Bethany a look that said ‘Don’t you dare tell her that we can’t cook!’
~Neil
“I noticed that you didn’t seem too thrilled with her getting so close to Neil.”
~Dakota
Valentine sighed as he turned into the parking lot of a Wal-Mart. Huge fantastic stores really, after growing up with the tiny local stores these monster places were wonderful. You could buy everything from a gun to a new set of clothes and a bushel of apples if you were so inclined.
~Valentine
“As long as you don’t add ‘Good’ in front of the word ‘Morning’ I won’t have to kill you.”
~Dakota
“I don’t suppose this is the night that you are going to give up your job and run away with me?”
~Bernie
"God, I love these things... modern junk food rocks. That's the right term, isn't it?"
~Soria
"Well, then. We'd better be up before our esteemed journalist decides to go spend his paycheck without us."
~Dante
“The hell with the world, I’ve been here longer then they have.”
Antoine as recollected by Paige
"I should let you sleep. We can figure out this whole mess tomorrow right? You won't vanish like a dream before then?"
Antoine as Aaron
Their adventure had been put on hold for hot cocoa in the kitchen. Adam had gotten the marshmallows out of the pantry, with Blaise's help to reach them and they were now trying to see how many they could squish into the mugs before any hot chocolate was poured in.
~Blaise
"Are you sure you're really a journalist and not a chef?"
~Dante
"You must have been a hyperactive child.”
~Dante
“Umm, about the hair… bad science project.”
~Andrea
Neil grumbled something about needing to find the squirrels and pulled Bethany a hair closer in his sleep.
~Neil
“‘Hi, it’s Antoine. Paige and I are out so leave your information. We might call you back if we feel nice.-BEEEEP---”
~Paige
“Sure, I’ll have some coffee! Never can have too much coffee.” She held up her bag of snacks. “And I have Cheezits!”
~Soria
"Hey... that's illegal isn't it? AWESOME!"
~Alex
"Ahh I see we have a fast food connoisseur in our midst. He is right though. Burger King has better fries.”
~Alex
"Dante, don't fall asleep now! We're going to experience American FAST FOOD!"
~Soria
Those two could make coffee that would make dead men get up and beg for a cup.
~Sere
“Grandad knows about me, knows I was staying with you… he’s a smart old lad, he’ll come to the correct conclusion.”
~Dante
A chunk of metal that weighed tons, that was going to be sailing through the sky at insane speeds and wasn't expected to fall out of the sky like a rock.
~Taylan
An apocalypse might come and go and as long as he did not run out of lead for the small mechanical pencils he loved then he might not even notice.
~Alex
“Will it be just like in the samurai movies, Grandad?”
~Dante
Taylan really didn't care if the ceiling fell in or the moon crashed into the earth. To say that he was drunk would be like saying Val was vaguely annoyed with what the Council had done to Bethany.
~Taylan
"It's a bloody good film, if I do say so myself. How could it be anythin' else with an entire scene dedicated to moonin' the English.”
~Magda
"Less you consider a high tolerance to alcohol a gift...I don't believe I have one.”
~Shane
“Fate can play a cruel hand of cards on you at times.”
~Sere
From the sounds of it they had just opened their eyes. Trinity gave them a good thirty minutes before they ruined something.
~Trinity
“For all you know I could be a psychopath that steals fingernails in the middle of the night..."
~Brenna
“Are you really a psychopathic wacko? I've been dying to meet one!! Can I get your autograph?"
~Blaise
"You're my idol miss Psycho, can I become an apprentice psycho and study under your expert knowledge."
~Blaise
"I mean, I wouldn't kill a cop for no reason...damn nasty taste ya donut eating bastards."
~Katy
"That may have been the most stupid thing I’ve said all year but hey, the kitchen is fixable… right?"
~Trinity
"AHHH! You maps are incorrigible!"
~Dergoth
“I'm going with my heritage thanks. I'll talk to the bottle thanks.”
~Taylan
“Let's just see who's blood is thicker. The harsh winter is what makes Russians so tough, but I hear Canada has its own right to a reputation, da?"
~Talori
"Tell em ya don't speak English."
~Katy
It was loud enough to wake the dead... and certainly any undead who still happened to be sleeping.
~Blaise
"Bloody hell child...got lungs on ye to play the pipes."
~Shane
These people go through coffee like air!
~Trinity

Technology
"Well I think I burned my mom's cookies once when I took the egg timer apart. C'mon how hard can it be?" Blaise smiled reassuringly after giving his completely NOT reassuring answer. He picked up the bag of flour and then grinned reaching for the sugar. "I think we need lots of sugar in them, sugar is good for ya, helps you grow and things. Doesn't it have vitamins or something in it?"
~Blaise
“Why don't I make us some coffee and we can discuss lighter matters, you know, like world peace, and pollution."
~Valentine
“Most of the vampires I know use e-mail a lot, but they never seem to mind that I wouldn’t know a computer from an x-ray machine.”
~Soria
"I'm glad you shot me.”
~Antoine
Her eyes flew over the screen as she adjusted the coach tickets to first class, there would be a short lag. "No I am very sure these are first class tickets. Could you look once more please? Ahh must have been a computer error. No that's quite understandable. Computers are such complicated things aren't they? Goodness knows I would have such trouble. Oh thank you very much."
~Sere
If I tell her that I want her to stay here, she's going to chain herself to my ankle. If I tell her to come, no way in hell reverse psychology is going to work. How the hell do I get her to stay?
~Antoine as Aaron
I need to find files of the same type… as these ones on the disk. How the hell do you read them, ahhh. Files of this type may be read with the telepathic communication and storage devices. Well that’s bloody brilliant, what the hell is a telepathic communication and storage device. I don’t suppose you can buy them at Best Buy.
~Antoine as Aaron
Alex was grumbling the entire time until a rather large orderly whose name tag read Atilla towered over him and threatened him with a painful injection for tetanus in a sensitive area if he didn't behave himself better.
Alex behaved himself.
~Alex
His arm in a sling to keep from aggravating the shoulder. But there was almost nothing short of tranquilizers that could keep Alex from being aggravated by sitting still.
~Alex
Makes me think that too many vampires think inside the box. You know, none thinking uniquely enough to invent a new feeding style.
~Andrea
Can vampires get brain tumors?
~Antoine as Aaron
“Anyone still alive in there or can we post a sign that says space for rent?”
~Neil
"He's soft like that, y'know. Of course, he'd beat me if I ever told anyone that. But I'll tell you what-- once we get you your memories back, which is top priority at the moment, we'll go back to the facility and give 'em what for, okay?"
~Soria
“Who else is better to date your daughter than a guy that looks at you sometime as if you are going to tear out his throat any minute?”
~Dakota
But this... this was psychology, and he was terrible at that.
~Dante
Taylan's nerves were frayed to the point of being more like a mess of threads than any one cohesive cord.
~Taylan
You're nothing but that irritating gum that sticks to the bottom of good shoes.
~Giavanni
It looked as if he had a battle with a rake and lost horribly.
~Dakota
She would kill them if they touched a hair on his annoyingly rational head.
~Soria
For an insane woman she had damn good aim.
~Neil
"You probably saved his life being there when that half-wit telephoned."
~Alex
“Fine, I give up. But do you know how many different ways your father could kill me? If anything happens to you, vampire or not, you’re still his daughter and I doubt he’d go out of his way to make my death a pleasant one!”
~Neil
"Awww crap what the hell do we do now? Call 911??"
~Valentine
She realized that the pile of chips on the floor van that was once a cell phone in a past life was only available to one person.
~Paige
Once she had finished her work, she logged onto Yahoo! Clubs and read over the slew of new posts in all her RPG clubs. She was absolutely addicted to the things.
~Sere
Katy blinked, "Ohhhhhh yeah!" She hopped off the couch with Blaise's hand in hers. "To the...uh...punk phone!"
~Katy
“Taylan can we borrow your car? I'd rather not be seen driving through town with a person tied up in the back seat... your car at least has a roof."
~Valentine
“How ‘bout not destroying this one, ok?”
~Paige on Antoine’s use of cell phones
There was a ringing in his glove compartment...odd. But he remembered the phone he had been talked into buying for himself.
~Angel
I was born in 1914. Of course I'm not electronically inclined."
~Luc
Talori was giggling hysterically into her bottle of vodka when suddenly her pants started to ring.
~Talori
It was such a funny contradiction. Modern suit, cell phone, and car, with a vampire more than a millennia old and a fine broad sword and scabbard in the passenger side seat.
~Tristan
The electric coffee maker, bless its little electronic heart, had a pot of coffee ready.
~Taylan
“I hope you like Enigma because the only way I know how to turn off the radio is to stop the car. Or break the damnable thing but I doubt Trinity would be all that please if I returned her stolen car after destroying it. Heh, then I’d be charged with vandalism on top of everything else.” She paused, “Or is that the destruction of public property only?”
~Kendra
"My conception...was that you were supposed to drive ON the road."
~Ketsuki
“So feeling like I got run over by a truck is normal, right?”
~Dakota
You know, its funny, its not really, but it is. The stars, they're so bright, but they're dead. They were dead long before now. We're looking at ghosts of dead stars. And no matter how many pretty words we lift in tribute to them, they're dead. But we still look to them... as though they held some mythical quality and they can solve all our problems. I used to believe that.
~Taylan
"C'mon! I can drive! I can! What could be so hard about it?! Ya make the car go on, and ya turn the wheel, avoid cops, jump obstacles, hit pedestrians for extra points..."
~Dergoth

Injuries
“Yeah, it appears to be that way. But I guess that makes life female, ‘eh, so we’re fucked either way.”
~Neil
"Earth to Katy, calling Katy. This is Moon Unit one, the sun has now set and it is safe to move about the cabin. We do ask that while you are seated you keep your seat belt securely fastened in case we encounter some slight turbulence."
~Blaise
It was her damned lung that was killing her in a non-literal sense.
~Dakota
“I was so angry, I wanted to bad to find them all and make them hurt so badly that they'd wish they had never been born. But no matter how many people I killed, Nothing that I was doing ever filled the giant hole in my life that they had caused.”
~Valentine
“What desire for angst has brought you here because I guarantee you will not find peace within these walls.”
~Dakota
"CRINOS Patrick! They go full bloody, unstoppable Crinos!"
~Alicia (NPC)
“And don’t ever pull that little trick you pulled back at the house or else…” She paused. “Well, I’m sure I can think of something horribly threatening yet not deadly later.”
~Dakota
“What if I get hurt versus what if you get dead?”
~Neil
"A fucking ninja? What the hell, well even ninja can bleed!”
~Alaistair
Of course he was worlds behind Dante who was looking to make villain sushi out of Alaistair.
~Alex
They were going to pay in blood with interest.
~Neil
“If you ever… EVER get killed again… I will make sure you DON’T come back.”
~Soria
He had always kind of accepted the fact that bad things happened to him, but it just seemed so much the more tragic when something happened to someone he cared about.
~Taylan
“And I most likely would have been shot without your amazing skills with a car’s side mirror.”
~Dante
Live Hard, Die Young had always been his sentiment, but then with a healer for a little brother he might be able to rethink that one.
~Alex
Of course, who came back from the dead and started to do cartwheels.
~Paige
“I'm glad he's dead, and that apparently I got to kill him.”
~Antoine
“HE BIT ME! HE FUCKING BIT ME!!”
~Valentine
Gotta get up... laying in sidewalk covered in blood... bad... movement... pain... maybe laying for a little while isn't so bad... pain... pain... damn...
~Valentine
"Does pride count in the injury list?" with a pained smile "no its just the bloody shoulder...”
~Valentine
"Hey Sere, it's me. Where's this guy..." his eyes came to rest on the silver man "Holy Jesus.... what the hell we're they shooting with??? A bazooka? Damnit, that looks terrible…" Next his brain registered the silver skin and... wings? His eyes went wide "Uhhh.... yah... I'll say this is a special case. That man should be dead by now... how long has he been like this?"
~Taylan
“I'm not entirely sure how to treat a patient that is... well no offense... dead”
~Taylan
The sound of a scream shot through Luc like a bullet. It was Sere, and by the sound of it, she was being quite bloodily murdered.
~Luc
"Owwww... oh this is much better... I think I'll just lay here on the floor till I die..."
~Taylan
Damnit, so much for the element of surprise. Oh well, when life gives ya lemons, squeeze them into your enemies eyes!
~Valentine
Alex is all right... we just had some minor scrapes and bruises." By the names of 'bullet' and 'switchblade,' right?
~Dante
"For a flame broiled, broken-jawed, uni-hand vampire, I'd say I was doing quite well."
~Luc
"Shine a light on my back. I wanna see if it comes out on the wall."
~Talori on being shot through the stomach
Taylan almost hoped it was the end of the world... but then rather cynically lamented that he wasn't that lucky.
~Taylan
“Could we please murder one another later?”
~Taylan
She wasn't sure how long she had been asleep but obviously it wasn't long enough.
~Azura
He whimpered as his insides were apparently trying to re-arrange themselves... or maybe take a vacation from him and search out some sustenance on thier own.
~Blaise
Nice floor. Floor even better when it doesn’t spin.
~Neil
"I know you're in there. You come courting your own death and I'm more than glad to deliver it to you boy."
~Valentine
He wasn’t too sure why he chose to stand calmly instead of running for the window and hoping that he landed on his neck at the bottom for it would be a far less painful death than the look in Val’s eyes promised.
~Neil
He easily read the expression on her father’s face that ordered an explanation with a side dish of ‘lie and I’ll kill you.’
~Neil
"You might as well come and have something to eat, she's going to sleep for a while and waking up to a starving person isn't going to help her any. Besides, mortals die if they don't eat, as I recall. I don't fancy cleaning up a decaying corpse." Val said in an attempt at being, well maybe not nice, cordial might be the phrase. "I promise not to kill you before she wakes up."
~Valentine
"They butchered my piece. Damned editors from hell. I'll have their heads for this. Honestly, they wouldn't know Tolkien from tabloids."
~Alex
Colys had lost whatever lonely marble he'd been hiding in that skull of his... even Ciara seemed nervous.
~Bethany
Back to top
Religion
"All I know is that we cling tenaciously to this life, despite all the hurt we know it holds. Doesn't make much sense, but I guess its fear. Fear more than anything else that holds us immortals to this life. The uncertainty of what's waiting for us at the end of the line."
~Valentine
He settled for making a hasty prayer to a god he wasn't sure existed and promising to do some serious research into that whole religion thing later.
~Antoine as Aaron
And for the love of God, he’s NOT just a mortal. He’s MY mortal!
~Soria
I wonder if its blasphemous to pray for something like that.
~Sere
“May god have mercy on the man's soul... I certainly didn't.”
~Valentine
After a few moments where all Luc could here was a low growling sound, Luc was about ready to hang up the phone and call for an exorcist.
~Luc
"Help! The Word of God is out to get me!!"
~Blaise
"The needs of the many may outweigh the needs of the few, but you've still got to consider individual cases if you want to like yourself in the morning."
~Dante
I'll bet God is laughing at me. I've never been religious, maybe he's getting back at me for all that taking his name in vain.
~Valentine
Time was a funny thing. It had a way of making you teach yourself your own lessons.
~Trinity
Am I trying to buy my way out of the hell I've carved for myself? It's too late for that.
~Andrew
He wished that he was more religious so that he might have an entity to direct his prayers towards.

Social Lives
“The Slayers are at least good for an ocassional paycheck."
~Antoine
"Just curious as to when the phrase 'I'm taking you to see a doctor.' translated to 'If you want to go.' “
~Valentine
“Why don’t we make some jam sandwiches. I changed my mind. I’ll buy you some more tomorrow if you eat the entire jar tonight.”
~Neil
“We’ll need a phonebook won’t we? Wouldn’t that be a funny thing to ask for, ‘excuse me? Can I borrow your phonebook? I want to figure out where I live!’”
~Sere
Logic suddenly got smooshed by emotion and Dante stood, following Alex.
~Dante
“Well for starters you can explain why the hell you’ve been lying to me for the past twenty years. That would be a damn good fucking start Raegan!!”
~Alex
Blaise grinned at Adam who was stirring the chocolate colored marshmallow sludge that was passing for hot cocoa.
~Blaise
“I heard that almost everyone that hitchhiked or picked hitchhikers up were criminals. So, I’m not one and you don’t look like one… does that mean one of us should at least pretend to be one?”
~Andrea
He could be so damn annoying when he put his mind to it.
~Dakota
There had never been, and there would never be, a 'How to help the person you love through a life shattering hurt' book.
~Taylan
"It's a little earlier to get so smashed that you canna sit up, isn't it?"
~Magda
“Might I inquire as to the nature of your interest in such things? I’m not in the habit of sharing incredibly personal details of myself with a gentleman I've only just met over a drink as a general rule..."
~Sere
“It was refreshing to see that you at least are quite intelligent.”
~Valentine
“I’d be willing to put all my money on it that you could talk a warlord into having tea and giving up his evil ways.”
~Neil
Soria wanted everything, but obviously didn't get that. Instead she got a "Number Five Value Meal Deluxe" even though she had no idea what that was, just because it sounded cool to order it.
~Soria
"No thanks, I don't smoke Alex." Taylan made a face at his older brother.
"Good! You shouldn't smoke, that stuff's bad for ya." Alex lit his own cigarette while Taylan gave him a vaguely annoyed look.
"Thanks for being such a great influence."
~Taylan and Alex
“Pardon me while I go meddle in other’s affairs.”
~Trinity
“Would you believe that I've been expelled from every school I attended?”
~Sere
"My life is the story of a whole lotta things I like to tend to forget about.”

Life, Living, and Lifestyles
Alex was glad that Taylan was so happy, even though he thought Taylan had to have a few screws loose not to be attracted to Sere and Soria and go for Dante instead.
~Alex
If Horatio were Soria, he would have squealed. But since he wouldn’t even understand that comparison, and he certainly wasn’t the squealing type, he instead gave her one of those delightedly surprised smiles.
~Horatio
Feels kinda like life tossed in some adrenaline and set the big blender of life on puree.
~Valentine
“Most people my age are either already dead or so busy drooling into strained peas that they don't know they aren't dead.”
~Valentine
It wasn’t that he didn’t have reason to be near fanatic but giving himself an ulcer, or stressing in general, couldn’t have been good for anyone, vampire or not.
~Dakota
He needed to get a grip before not having one killed him.
~Valentine
“He’s too modest, the little dork.”
~Soria
Having the conversational skills of a sea urchin didn't seem to occur to him either.
~Horatio
“Except when I decide to buy insanely expensive things for my studio… I sometimes end up without a telephone for a month till I can scratch enough money together to pay the bill again. The utility companies know me very well."
~Valentine
I've lived too long... things I remember are history now.
~Valentine
"I will thank ye in advance for not makin' any vampire bunny comments."
~Magda on eating carrot sticks
Taylan was a man . . . well, technically anyway…
~Luc
"You should have learned by now that you can never trust a Frenchman with anything.”
~Luc
"Shrinks also have those insane Freudian ideas that all little boys secretly desire their mothers, but I've never put much stock in that idea either."
~Valentine
C'mon, lets get going." Alex put an arm around Taylan and propelled him back up the hill towards the car when Taylan seemed disposed to continue his impression of a potted palm. "Walking does involve moving your feet Taylan."
"How DID I manage to live without your insightful guidance for all those twenty some odd years." Taylan remarked sarcastically as they reached the car.
"Beats the piss outta me, you musta been one lucky son of a gun. You probably get it from me." Alex grinned at his dubious little brother.
"Why of course, why didn't I think of that?"
~Alex and Taylan
“I'm a bit of a head cause myself, at least so I've been told."
~Taylan
"You forgot damn fine writer too," Alex extended a hand. "I'm a journalist too." Alex grinned
~Alex
“Hey, what do ya say to being an accomplice in grand larceny? I hear it's a real head rush..."
~Kenda
“The Taylan I remember was four years old and was always scraping his knees.”
~Alex
"Just a touch of... ah cold. Makes my eyes water... drank too much." "I'm fine... thanks for the concern. Are you feeling any better?"
~Antoine
"Thanks, I love being referred to as plant matter."
~Taylan

Fate, Destiny, and Deep Thoughts
"Wisdom, that's a damn smart thing to say if I've ever heard one. Unless you're one damn young looking old geezer then you gotta be wise for your age kid."
~Alex
“The whole world can’t collapse. Just use the debris as stepping stones until you get to the greener grass.”
~Dakota
“We each of us choose our own destiny. Others may have hands in it, but it is ultimately up to each of us individually to decide what our paths may be.”
~Sere
"It's kind of odd how that all changes suddenly. How you can be just...stolen away from your life and thrown into another. And the rest of the world goes on with its master plan while you're left wondering what the hell just happened."
~Shane
“I've played this game of cards before and I know that no one ever plays their ace at the beginning of the hand.”
~Sere
Valentine stopped in his aimless wandering, balancing perfectly on the wall that held the sand back from the city, or as he preferred to view it, held the city back from the beach.
~Valentine
“There are places where you could just sit all day and feel that...something bigger is around you. Something completely unbelievable.”
~Shane
“There is darkness in each of us, and we can either drown in that darkness and desolation, or we can fight it. No one is completely evil, just as no one is completely good.”
~Sere
The snow sparkled in the moonlight as though hundreds of tiny diamonds were embedded in a white velvet gown. Mother Earth certainly new how to dress herself up. She was absolutely beautiful tonight.
~Narrator
“It's kinda like finding out that those monsters in the closet you saw when you were a kid are actually real.”
~Taylan

Vampires, Werewolves, and Mortals! Oh My!
“No, I guess I missed the memo that went around saying that our family gave birth to lupines.”
~Neil
“We don’t see many of them over in the old country, but you must be really good if you hunt those scary buggers down.”
~Soria
“Of course, why didn't I think of that. Perhaps if we show the vampires the joys of healthy living, they will repudiate their lives of killing in exchange for vitamins and exercise.”
~Luc
Luc let his eyes wander from Azura to Val and then to Sere, the irony of the situation not escaping his dark French sense of humor. A woman with no allegiances, a Vampire, a slayer, and a Vampire who was a slayer, all sitting at the same table having drinks.
~Luc
"If I weren't a vampire, I would be dead.”
~Magda
Taylan then realized that he has just been ordering a rather old vampire around. One who could probably kill him at any moment and he began to wonder if it was really a good idea.
~Taylan
“Just because I'm mortal that doesn't mean I'm stupid.”
~Taylan
"Ouch... man that HAD to hurt!!! oh well... sucks to be you!!! Heh no, wait, that’s right... you don't suck... I do!"
~Blaise – fledgling vampire extraordinaire
“Being Lupine food just wasn't in my plans."
~Valentine
“We can handle slayers and psychos! We are the one... the only.. Fang Gang!!”
~Blaise
"I am not gonna wreck her car... I have preternatural senses remember... I'm dead."
~Valentine
"C'mon dude. Fangness 101 starts now! Katy and I'll teach ya everything you need to know. Cause you rock dude. We'll get that old soul of yours educated yah?"
~Blaise
You'd be surprised what we'd believe dude."
~Katy

Gifts
Val could have hit himself over the head, but he settled for looking at though he had been hit with a two by four instead.
~Valentine
"Empathic? What’s that? Sounds like a disease..."
~Blaise
The French Canadian dialect has never been really renowned for its eloquence and beautiful turn of phrase. It has also never really been famous for its flowery and elegant phrasing. Granted there have been truly gifted French Canadian writers, and it’s not nice to dispute their elegance at the craft of the written word. However, the French Canadian that Taylan was using at the moment was neither beautiful, nor eloquent, nor flowery. I suppose colorful it could be called... but it was certainly nothing to pride a language on. It was the more typical French Canadian that French Canada was more famous for.
~Taylan
"Thats quite the ability... must come in handy at times... but tell me do you have to check to remember which bathroom to go in?"
~Kirin
A few books began to shake on their shelves. Sere, the psycho kinetic young woman, was upset and her gift knew it...
~Sere
Ever since Soria had come back from one, having been healed of a very nasty sword thrust through the shoulder, he had wondered how they did it. He thought it would be amazing.
He just never expected it to be this beautiful.

Friendship
"Hey kiddo, how're ya doing?" He sat down next to her and she moved to give him some room to sit.
"Guess I'm okay." She said quietly.
"And I'm straight as an arrow... c'mon Sere I know you better than that... might help ya if you talked about it."
~Taylan and Sere
Neil glanced over at Bethany for a moment then back at the road as his tires started to get friendly with the ditch.
~Neil
She shook her head, her elation at his being alive turning her into one of those mother-types who would be ready to tell embarrassing stories about their children at any moment.
~Soria
"Well its great to hear your voice again too old friend. As for the dying many deaths, I wouldn't recommend it. I think once was probably enough." Tristan laughed good naturedly at Angel. "It's Tristan... Angel... do you always answer your cell phone with death threats?"
~Tristan
“I'm just the cool uncle.”
~Angel

Death
But there WAS no logic in killing a child.
~Dante
"Mother earth returns to us, what we bury within her."
~Angel
“Yes.. I'm luring you inside to kill you... I'm a homicidal maniac in my spare time.”
~Valentine
"I said... if you'll excuse me I'm going to suffocate myself to death."
~Taylan
“Had to burn me own house down...they probably thought the charred body was my own, probably having the wake right now."
~Shane
"Man... if I was anymore hated I think I'd be dead."
~Taylan
"Why is everybody staring at me like it's my funeral or something?”
~Dakota
“Oh... but just think how boring your life would be if you didn’t have to worry about death and destruction after every breath Mr. Beauchamp.”
~Dakota
He wondered why mortals had to be so fragile...
~Dergoth
"I think I eventually just came up with the diagnosis that he was doing pretty well for a dead man with a hole in his chest.”
