Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I know of at least two people who played that character in a role-playing game
And amazingly enough, that fact makes it even more likely that they were albino-mute-girl-tortured-bards!

How did you know?! Were you part of that Vampire: Dark Ages game?
Totally different thing, I swear.
I know, I know. I was (mostly) being facetious. Honest.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Perkins, I think we're all a little burned out for the nonce; I sure am, I know. We do seem to go through cycles in here, don't we?

Because books.
Yeah, I'm okay with it, Perkins. I haven't even been drabbling when I choose the challenge.
