Pushing the lid off, she sat up and stretched her arms. After glancing down at Nari beside her, she grimaced in disgust. "You’re an awful sight to wake up to every night."

    Both A~na and Leisan turned around and glared at the bard. A~na acted, tossing a stray piece of wreckage at Koshu. It hit the boy's head with a dull "thunk," knocking him off Hir.
    "HEY! S' not fair, hittin' an unarmed person!" Koshu spluttered, trying to keep his gitar dry. "Nobody appreciates a bard..."

    • Being the incredibly intelligent troll that he was, Auric deftly reached out and caught the fireball in his bare hand. He stood there for a moment grinning at the area the fireball had come from, trying hard not to laugh at his obvious superiority. Then he made the mistake of looking down.

    {Was not.}
  • "Winter Dance"
    • Fraldirk frowned as he walked towards the Great Hall, his massive hammer slung over his shoulder. He had wanted to tale a break from his usual work and enjoy himself, but he had forgotten the usual reaction of most people towards his appeareance. Being a ten and a half foot tall troll did occasionally have its drawbacks. ... He wandered aimlessly, wondering if he should have left the hammer behind.
  • "Winter Dance"

    ~I want to fly with Kaykay!~ the dragon wailed.

    ~Yes, but...what if she isn't pretty? Kaykay can't be the father of unpretty children!~
  • "Flight of the Phoenix"
    • Jon looked at Ridli, batted his hand away again, harder this time, and said, "There'sh plenny of other shtuff for evvryone elsh! Now she!"

Tell 'er not to hog the drinksh..."

    "I'm not drunk! I'm shimply a little tipshy! You goddat?! I'm not drunk!"

  • Shasten, "Nari Pays a Visit"
    • He poked Koshu, who was stretched out comfortably on the floor, with a foot. "D'ya hear that?"
    Koshu merely rolled over in his sleep.
    Onto Stripe's foot, that is.
    "....Kerosaulth?"
    The bond poked his head in questioningly.
    "Please wake your bond. He's breaking my foot."
  • "Water Bonding"
    • Kishu frowned. Why wouldn't Tenral want happy feelings? That wasn't good at all. He tried to think about what had made him happy.
    An idea hit him. Jumping on Tenral, he pushed his furry ears against the gnome's chin with a "mrrrrrr". Warm and furry things made people happy!
  • "From Nothingness"
    • She frowned down her nose at him. "Come, come, we must get your measurements!"

  • Koshu, "A Musical Foray"

  • Kaso, "Another Lunch Guest"
    • "It'd be nice to bottle you up and carry you with me always."
    "Er...I don't think I'd fit very well."
    Sway laughed loudly. "Okay, then pieces of you."
    That was even worse. "But...I need my pieces!"
  • Koshu and Sway, "Creep in the Cloth"
    • [[ Oh sweet green eyed woman
    Solemn sound of life's unrest
    Beyond the cries of loneliness

    ~...~ Stripe didn't have a quick response for that.
  • "Winter Dance (2004)"

    "But Ma, I WANNA see the disgusting creature!"
  • "He Said Flamin' Things To Me"
    • His striped hair was out of ponytail today, which was both good and bad; good because it was a sign he was trying to open up and relax, bad because it was completely destroying Jaiorin's concentration.
  • "Meeting the Family"
    • ^^To hells with you, demonspawn! I'm no chicken!^^ Pyr had gotten on top of the roof once more, and was now riasing his tail to attempt to releive himself on the mocking demon.
  • "Duel by Moonlight"
    • "Well, obviously I got bored, so I decided to put a seal on myself," Mahja snapped sarcastically.
  • "Duel by Moonlight"
    • {{Maybe I'll go replace you.}}
    "You and your new bond would have to take riding lessons again."

    • Anyways, he'd dealt with erupting volcanoes, giant sea serpents, and oversized bards...he could handle this.
  • Torin, "In Search"
    • "Eh. Demon. I wouldn't take one on, I'd just sort of... you know... run. And hide."
  • Nin, "Meeting the Family"
    • Like a little cat, only more... curly. Lithe, he supposed, was the word. Lithe Liish.

    It was much too early in the day for bad alliteration. Especially in reference to little kyushi.
  • "Meeting the Family"
    • People should really know better than to put ideas in the head of an ogre.
  • "The Land of Meat"
    • On a list of things that she had never expected to see, this was right up there with the Nameless One deciding violence was wrong and becoming the Goddess of Puppies.
  • Sareen, "A Reset on Life"
    • "I have to warn you. I've been studying the Mountain Style for most of my life."
    He shrugged slightly. "I've studied the 'It doesn't have a name but my mother used it to plow my dad's face into the dirt' style."
    "I like your mom."
    "Most people do."
  • Phaedra and Kiel, "Rob and Run"

  • Elakhi and Varaae, "It's That Time Again: Training in Session"
    • A few moments passed by, and then the gargoyle jumped back in through the window, gimpy tail wagging happily as the razor dropped to the ground with a 'tink.' Blood dripped from his tongue, slices covering his mouth as he drooled. [[STICK TASTES LIKE COPPER.]]
  • Ajalaaus, "Silver's Justice"
    • "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men," he quipped.

    "...But still relished by the wisest men."
  • Nikado and Sareen, "An Old Friend's Possessions"
    • "What the-" That was all the Justice had time to say as the scroll exploded with a searing light, engulfing the demon with a deadly blast of druidic magic.
    "Aeryon's blessing, arsil," Nikado managed as he dropped back onto his rear.
  • "An Old Friend's Possessions"
    • He looked at the notes and raised an eyebrow. "Why does this one say 'Stabbing is okay if done carefully'?"
    "It does no- Er. Perhaps I should find you a copy that is not mine."
  • Oddity and Sareen, "The Long and Short Arms of the Law"
    • Sareen gaped for another moment, voice rising, "You don't wash them all at once you ogre-brained loon! What am I going to wear?"
    He shrugged slightly. "I dunno. I suppose you could wear something of mine." He paused, with a thoughtful look. "Oh, wait..."

  • Nikado, "Achilles Heel"
    • "You know, I think somewhere along the line I underestimated Kaso's intelligence."
    Dima looked back to Lithrik. "What brings you to say that?"
    Lithrik held out the book to her, a complicated and wordy tome on magic circles and runes. "This is the type of thing he researches? I would have a hard time reading this."
    "Oh, he wasn't researching that," Cala piped up helpfully. "He said he wanted to borrow that one. You know, for some light reading. What's it about?"
    Lithrik just stared.
  • "Fortresses of Rahn"
    • [[He's going to drive me crazy,]] Rashonal lamented.

  • Rashonal and Cvetenal, "Eau de Nikado"
    • Meanwhile, Riitalla, quickly lost in the conversation, sensed that her new friend's attention was no longer on herself, and that, in a six year old's mind, was just unacceptable. Therefore, she went into action to draw attention back to herself.

    She took off her head.
  • "Odd and Odder"
    • Black Wynd stared at them both for a while, and frowned. "I... what are you going on about?"

    • Something dark in color darted across the room.
    "I, my boy, am the terror that flaps in the night!"
    The something moved again.
    "I am the paladin that sets your stove on fire!"
    A figure landed in front of Tsraf, covering most of his face with a cape that didn't hide his black-feathered angel wings. "I AM...DARKWING DUCK!!"
  • "Becoming Scum"
    • Oz renewed his struggles, "No, don't! Just go away! Leave Lithrik alone!"
    She laughed. "Did I mention Daddy needs meat to survive? Very fresh meat."
    "...and me!" Oz added. "Leave me alone too!"
  • "Mage Meetings and Magic Memories"
    • Now the Mage Guildmaster had sent a note requesting a meeting. Admittedly the note had come with some cookies that had tasted okay and Lithrik had assured him were mundane in nature, but that was just an obvious ploy to appeal to his sweet tooth. Well, the Patrolmaster had no sweet tooth!
  • "A Gut Feeling
