t was so sudden: the earsplitting bangs, the screams, the confusion. Theo and Doug ran into the kitchen; Mrs. Theodoraskis ran out. Her hair, her face, her apron were splattered with dark dropping red.
"Blood," Sydelle Pulaski cried, clutching her heart.
"Don't just sit there," Catherine Theodoraskis shouted, "someone call the fire department."
Angela hurried to the pay phone on the wall and stood there trembling, not knowing whether to call or not. They were snowbound, the fire engines could not reach Sunset Towers.
Theo learned through the kitchen doorway. "Everything's okay. There's no fire."
"Chris, honey, it's all right," Mrs. Theodorakis said, kneeling before the wheelchair. "It's all right, Chris, look! It's just tomato sauce."

It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

Maybe it was always this way and I didn't notice as much but FakeGod seems to always put awesome art on his games now
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

"I can't even look at the game anymore.
That evil teddy bear has got everyone twirling by his thumb.
It's like witnessing an slow but unavoidable train crash you can't stop."
Screw it, I've got time on my hands an I'm kinda in the mood to get back in the swing of things.
