"Jeez." ~the Raven

"Everything about Batman is amazing. Have you read any of the comics? The old films look really crunchy, but there's a Wilhelm scream in one of them. Batman socks someone into a wall and the socked one screams." ~Clover

"Whate-ver." ~the Raven

"It is cool." ~Fal.

"Now the elf wants to talk comic books. Wake me up when we get back to Jack Skellington. That film is my whole life." ~the Raven

Vanessa: "I haven't even seen the trailer for the new one. We don't have a television. And I've been meaning to read the original comics for a while, but I just haven't found the time."

Marc: "Gahh!" *spasms*

Vanessa: "If you don't like the conversation, you're free to leave."

Marc: "Good. I need more coffee anyway."

"No, don't go, Marcie! Where will I be without my bestest friend? Who can I whisper my secrets to at all our sleepovers? Who will I paint toenails with? Who will I glitter my hair with?" ~the Raven

Jake: "Yuck. Nasty."

Vanessa: "Yeah. Raven and Marc with hair glitter."

Jake: "I meant the nailpolish, but that too."

"Marcie, ma main human creature that should never be allowed to draw a biased breath, have you nothing to say? No plea, no plaint, no command, no word, no speech, no cry, no half-baked shepherd's pie to offer?" ~the Raven

"I don't think she's got anything left after you burbling on." ~Clover

*happy at discovering the alliteration* "Burble bumble, burble bumble." ~the Raven

"Mr Bumble! Mr Bumble the beadle..." ~Kit

"Bumble the beadle, Bumble the beadle, Bumble the beadle, Bumble, Bumble, Bumble, Bumble...." ~the Raven

Vanessa: "Ma main human creature?"

Jake: "She left to get coffee...are you awake?"

Vanessa: "I personally like the idea of nail poilsh. Hair glitter and Marc might be scary, but nail polish..."

Jake: "No."

Vanessa: "Nothing pink. Maybe a dark purple or navy - "

Jake: "NO, Vanessa."

"I said it before: bad women wear paint." ~Kit

"You're so old-fashioned, Kit." ~Midge

"Am not! I'm before you!" ~Kit

"Girls, girls." ~the Raven

"Nail polish is... um. *wrinkles nose* Not quite..." ~Clover

"It looks pretty." ~Midge

"CAN look pretty. I do paint my nails sometimes, actually." ~the Raven

"You don't -- " ~Fal.

"With charcoal. To make them black and scary. Rawr." ~the Raven

"That's almost as bad." ~Midge

'I draw the line at nail varnish...'-Blake

'Except when you're being purposefully provocative you mean.'-Ethan

'Oh yeah, well, that's different. I'm just trying to get a load of homophobes all riled up. It's my own personal sport. What else am I supposed to do around here? Homophobe baiting is so fun.'-Blake

'It's so dangerous, you mean.'-Ethan

'Okay, so side effects include the risk of being beaten up, but still, it keeps me fit. Lots of running involved.'-Blake

'Kit is seriously is old fashioned though. And who the hell calls make-up 'paint'?' *to Kit* 'Are you like from the past?'-Ethan

*outraged* "I'm from 1894, and that's a heap load better than what I've seen of this century!" ~Kit

"Man, Kit, don't rip out the guy's throat just 'cos he has low tolerance levels. It's the excess of testosterone." ~the Raven

"And what's that when it's at home?" ~Kit

"Agressive boy stuff." ~the Raven

"So what? I run around with eight boys. They don't have any trouble with the time." ~Kit

"That might be because they can't tell the time. And also because they're from the same time as you." ~the Raven

*Kit scowls*

"I'd rather not speak about boys - any in general. Simply mentioning that abnormal species gives me a headache." ~ Mirabelle.

"Boys from 1894 tend to act a bit nicer than ones from modern-day." ~ Michael.

"How is that fact relevant? Boys are boys, and why don't you shut up?" ~ Mirabelle.

"I thought we were talking about how guys can't tell time." ~ Michael.

"I really have no idea what we're talking about." ~ Mirabelle.

"We're talking about how much you two suck for having similar names. Were your parents suffering from haemochromatosis or something when you were born?" ~the Raven

"This from the person who's called 'the Raven.'" ~Clover

"That's irrelevant. I was saddled with a horse's name under duress. My parents had entirely different ideas." ~the Raven

Vanessa: *curious* "What name did your parents give you, Raven?"

Marc: "Probably something along the lines of 'that little horror.' What do English people say to their abominable offspring?"

Vanessa: "Oh, you're back. Another caramel latte?"

Marc: "Nope. Blended chai creme. I'm trying to be healthier."

Vanessa: *skeptically* "Right."

"Blended chair cream? Cool. Your upholstery is already looking better." ~the Raven

"I think that means something rude... but I'm not sure." ~Clover

"Of course it's not rude! When am I ever rude?" ~the Raven

"Do I have to answer that?" ~Clover

"What's a symptom of basilar artery migraine?" ~the Raven

"Uhh, a migraine?" ~Clover

"Bor-ring. Get a life, Clovey. Or better still, a cheese and tommy-toe toastie." ~the Raven

"Ha ha. Original. Not." ~Clover

"Hey, you like one thing, I like another. Tolerance, people. What's it for, if not to annoy?" ~the Raven

Marc: *blankly* "Tommy-toe toastie? Sounds like something that comes off your feet."

Vanessa: "It's British comedy."

Marc: "And how do you know this?"

Vanessa: *grins* "Doc."

Marc: "You're kidding! Dr. Hal watches British comedy?"

Jake: "He's addicted. We need to find him a support group."

Marc: "Wow. That's interesting. And it successfully distracted me from swearing at Raven - or, as Mummy calls her, 'the icorrigible wretch.'"

Jake: "That's what my dad calls you when he's trying to sound intelligent."

Marc: *glares*

Jake: "Sorry. It's true."

"British comedy, stopping off for a moment to be simply super again, for the win!" ~Clover

"How was saying that, being simply super?" ~the Raven

"In a pink, slightly moist way." ~Clover

"Right. Okay. Cool. Wait, incorrigible wretch?" ~the Raven

"Dr Hal sounds a person of very wise judgement. Recomend him for Doctor of the Year Award." ~Clover

"That's a new one, actually. Kudos to you, Marcini, you've called me something new. And that is an achievement, by the way." ~the Raven
