Quotes edit
-
“"Life is a chess game, Strykerius, haven't you learned that yet? Whenever you move to protect the pawns, you leave your queen open to attack."”
The Destroyer -
“"Have you ever noticed that salvation, much like your car keys, is usually found where and when you least expect it?"”
Ash -
“"He's Apostolos," Cassandra murmured as she struggled to snap herself out ofher daze. "He's the son of the Atlantean Destroyer and a god in his own right.We're so screwed." Wulf let out a disgusted sound. "Yeah, well, I don't let anyone screw me untilthey kiss me, and since there's not even a snowball's chance in hell of me kissing that bastard, we're not screwed."”
-
“"I curse the day Morginne gave you the soul of an old woman and made you worse than any mother could ever be."”
Chris to Wulf -
“He snorted. "Chris would disagree with you." "I think Chris would disagree with a signpost."”
Wulf to Cassandra -
“"When I was a little girl, I used to try and bring sunshine to my mother. I felt so bad that she had never really seen or felt it. So I would try and catch it in jars. When that failed, I captured jars and jars of lightning bugs and told her that if we could catch enough of them, then it would look like the sun.She'd laugh, hug me, and then set them free and tell me that nothing should have to live its life in a cage."”
Cassandra -
“Chris poured everyone drinks. "This is where Wulf's people would get drunkand party for a week. All hail the Vikings, forerunners to the frat boys!"”
Chris -
“"Always game for java. Give me ground-up beans or give me death."”
Kat -
“"You know, Talon, killing a soul-sucking Daimon without a good fight is like sex without foreplay. A total waste of time and completely un...satisfying."”
Wulf to Talon -
“He had the social graces of an idiot. The average face of the boy next door and the confidence of a snail. God, he was pathetic.”
narration of Chris Erikson -
“"Dont move you might geet bruised. Opps, a sneeze, better call in a speacialist from Belgium. Headache? Odin forbid it might be a tumor. Quick, rush him for a CAT scan.""And yet you live.""Ever the better to procreate for you. It's a hell of a life. But there are worse ones out there."”
Chris and Wulf -
“"What are you doing?""Protecting my assets. After what Kat said about Stryker and that near miss with the pizza knife, I dont want to take a chance with my prized jewels."Hallelujah, The boy finally developed some brains."”
chris and wulf -
“"I think they just nailed the Hummer. Yes!""Christopher!""I cant help it. I really hate that thing. Besides I told you it wouldnt protect me from everything. See. It was worthless against the grenades."”
Chris and Wulf -
“"We'll just have to have an open evacuation plan.""I really, really dont like this open evacuation plan idea. Anyone got something better?"”
Wulf and Chris -
“"Like black do you?""It serves its purpose. It's hard to look intimidating in pastels."”
Cassandra and Wulf -
“"The brain is fine. It's my ego and social life in the toilet. I shudder at what you are going to do to that kid."”
Chris -
“I like this one, Ash. He understands us.""Gee Z. I think you may have found a new friend after all. That should make Astrid happy."”
Dante and Acheron -
“"You know, I almost like this guy Acheron. Pity we have to killl him."”
Zarek of Moesia -
“"Again I repeat, dont ask questions you dont want answered. Just accept the fact that Acheron is a freak of nature and let it go."”
Zarek of Moesia

Milk Man meant he was attractive in an unusual way and could bring a glass of milk to bed anytime. Crackers were one step up, and Cookies were gods. But the ultimate in masculine desirability rated a Powdered Donut. Not only was a powdered donut messy, it violated their perpetual diet mentality and begged a woman to bite into it.
