She smiles, "I know my ice is cold. I just like it that cold...or colder." Lilyana sheepishly admits. “No, Lil, I didn’t even feel the ice,” Eddie says, panicking. “It was like an illusion. I don’t know how to cool it…” Quote Are there monsters Eddie can incinerate? Edited October 11, 2023 by Edema Rue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t even feel cold.” Then Eddie’s eyes widen as she notices one of the spiked ice monsters coming up behind Lilyana. “Hold very, very still,” she murmurs, pulling out a gun. She aims it over Lilyana’s head, then focuses and mentally lights the gunpowder… Her hand, and gun, explode in a burst of flames, sending flaming debris in every direction. She curses. “I liked that gun!” Then, suddenly, the monster is engulfed in flames. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second I got it back, the first thing I did was scream at you.” The boy looked up at the sky, blinking at the falling snowflakes. I knew I should’ve just worked at Wendy’s this summer. “Because hurt doesn’t last forever. They’ll forgive you for anything you’ve done, incredible as that may seem. Humans are bizarre and incredible.” “Is that… really true?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really should have taken that job at Wendy’s… “Look, man,” the boy says. “I’m not a professional, maybe you should get a therapist to really help you, but…blaming yourself for things that happen is never a good idea, like, stuff will happen, and just because it did doesn’t mean you’re to blame.

Nor does it mean I'd be any good in... that sort of relationship." "You are special, I'd say you're more unique than any other person here, not counting the platypus, anyway. And there's no such thing as being "good" at a relationship. A relationship could be two people hardly see each other, or a couple who hangs out so often they're never apart. A relationship is more about how the individuals feel about each other and themselves." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
