"Come here, let me share a bit of wisdom with you.
Have you given much thought to our mortal condition?
Probably not. Why would you? Well, listen.
All mortals owe a debt to death.
There's no one alive
Who can say if he will be tomorrow.
Our fate moves invisibly! A mystery.
No one can teach it, no one can grasp it.
Accept this! Cheer up! Have a drink!
But don't forget Aphrodite--that's one sweet goddess.
You can let the rest go. Am I making sense?
I think so. How about a drink.
Put on a garland. I'm sure
The happy splash of wine will cure your mood.
We're all mortal you know. Think mortal.
Because my theory is, there's no such thing as life,
... It's just catastrophe."
- ― Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides

So, Let's Raise Our Glass:
|
|
To the accident season,
To the river beneath us where we sink our souls,
To the bruises and secrets, to the ghosts in the ceiling,
One more drink for the watery road.
- ― Moïra Fowley-Doyle
| Bannaichean Blàr: |
"Growling is not a happy noise. You keep saying that it is, but I don't believe you. Neither should anyone else... about anything. Still, at least I can rely upon you to stand your ground, and share your stories... unworthy as they have been thusfar. Onward, brother, to greater battles and glory on the highest!"

I Have Drunk the Night:
|
|
And swallowed the stars.
I am dancing with abandon
And singing with rapture.
There is not a thing I do not love.
There is not a person I have not forgiven.
I feel a universe of love.
I feel a universe of light.
Tonight, I am with old friends
And we are returning home.
The moon is our witness.
- ― Kamand Kojouri
| [[Giantborn]]: |
Born with ice in her veins, quite literally, she enjoys referring to herself as a 'snow angel'. Albeit one that carries about a massive earth-breaker and keeps company with an ornery and thieving bear, but a snow angel all the same.
|
| [[Cavalier]]: |
Of the Order of the Cockatrice, to be specific -- a mounted and forward ground assault specialist with an unusual companion ... or... two, or three... unusual companions...
|
| [[Mathan Mor]]: |
A dire bear youngling with wolf-white fur, striking blue eyes and whorled red 'tattoos', her closest friend -- he may steal anything that isn't nailed down, and subsequently try to EAT it, but he is a stalwart companion, and a fair decent pillow. So fluffy.
|
| [[Glory Seeker]]: |
Were you hoping to gain glory from your battle? NOPE. Witness the awe-inspiring presence that is the Kill Stealing Queen. She will do anything if she believes that it might gain her some divine witness... or, you know, the approval of her dad.
|
| [[Hedonist]]: |
Food. Drink. Merriment. The finest of things, and in the greatest of quantities, she is never one to say no to today's indulgence -- lest it be stolen by tomorrow's uncertainty.
|
| [[Helvegen]]: |
An old companion; an oruch monk from some forgotten monastery, drifting about the great free world somewhere. She tells tales of him often, to both willing and unwilling audience.
|
| [[Stories]]: |
Great tales of greater battles, a yarn spun about the glory of achievement, or legends of things that may not have been; whatever it is, if she ain't talkin', she's listenin'... or interrupting, so she can be talkin'.

You Work That You May Keep Pace:
|
|
With the earth and the soul of the earth.
For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons,
And to step out of life's procession,
That marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite.
When you work you are a flute through whose heart
The whispering of the hours turns to music.
Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent,
When all else sings together in unison?
- ― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
| Who Wants To Live Forever - Queen |
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams,
Yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Oh ooo-oh
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us.
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Ooh
Who dares to love forever
Oh oo woh, when love must die.
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever'
Who wants to live forever
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?

| Dust In The Wind - Kansas |
I close my eyes only for a moment,
And the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes,
A curiosity.
Dust in the wind,
All they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song,
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground,
Though we refuse to see.
Dust in the wind,
All we are is dust in the wind.
Now, don't hang on,
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away,
And all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind,
All we are is dust in the wind
(All we are is dust in the wind)
Dust in the wind
(Everything is dust in the wind),
Everything is dust in the wind (the wind)
