Excerpt from the glossary
O’kav’i — Large feline creatures usually 7-9 feet tall and 10-13 feet long. Species is magic and as such their pelt changes hue depending on the creature’s environment. They can settle on a single colour at around 7 years of age but do not always do so. Claws tend to be the colour of precious metals and the eyes have an unnatural glow. Usually found in harsher climates such as the Frozen North, the Bea’lin Desert, and the Valley of the Weeping Stars. Tame-able and befriend-able but difficult to do so. Oftentimes seen as companions to Anonli and ridden into battle with. Each companion is made custom armor fit for individual fighting styles. Live 50-55 years unless blessed to live 70-90 years.

In the Duat bunker training room
Dépit, after getting thrown to the ground by Jimmy: This is a fine example of why you shouldn’t iron a four-leaf clover. Morrigan learned that the hard way.
Cabrera: *extremely confused* What?!
Dépit, smiling like a madman: I believe you mean ‘why’ *pulls out an enchanted broadsword of all things* because you shouldn’t press your luck!

Actually. Scratch that. I definitely would have believed them after the stunt Wil pulled in ‘The Island’.
If someone told me before I read ‘The Agency’ that Wil M. M. was going to kill so many of his characters in one fell swoop right after their character arcs I wouldn’t have believed them. But lo and behold, they all get murdered in the most painful way possible.
Wil, you are the reason I have trust issues.

“You’re a figment of my imagination. You are fictional words given a life of their own. You were created to be a host to one of the most powerful things I could come up with. Therefore you are the one I had the least control over.”
—Maile to Azaria when she asked why all the bad things had happened to them and why them of all people.

Julia: Synonyms are weird because if I invite you to my cottage it sounds nice and cozy but if I invite you to my cabin in the woods you’re gonna die
Katie: my favorite is explaining the difference between butt dial and booty call
Michael: it’s called connotations
Astral: Try this one on for size. Forgive me father for I have sinned. Verses. Sorry daddy, I’ve been naughty

Astral: The best thing about being near immortal is grossly misusing modern slang on purpose and watching my friends die inside.
Astral: For example: I went over to Michelle the other day and said "Man, is that the bae or what?" And the look in her eye is something I will cherish forever.
