- Bo Dennis: What's the process for naming the new Ash?
- Fitzpatrick 'Trick' McCorrigan: First, the potential candidates gather for the "Gyallahaal".
- Bo Dennis: Which one; Jake or Maggie?
- William 'Hale' Santiago: It's not like we choose our local government every day, so it's kind of a big deal. Lots of rituals, big-ass feast, and a stag hunt.
- Kenzi Malikov: Ooh. Will there be wenches, and mead?
- William 'Hale' Santiago: You crash the party, there'll definitely be a wench.
- The Blackthorn: Humans are food: we eat from them, or we die. Now, the Dark Fae, they tend to kill for pleasure. Not just need.
- Bo Dennis: And you Light are so much better?
- The Blackthorn: We're more like your Native American hunters: we respect the kill, won't over hunt, don't eat the young.
- Bo Dennis: And so what does that make me?
- The Blackthorn: An obnoxious vegan.
- Bo Dennis: Would you give me some space Saturday night? Dyson agreed to come over and talk.
- Kenzi Malikov: Ah. Gotcha. Operation "Woo" begins. And what is your plan of attack?
- Bo Dennis: Cleavage. That's about as far as I've gotten.
- William 'Hale' Santiago: I agree, the pension system is woefully inadequate. That's why, as The Ash, I would. double the payouts for anyone over nine centuries old. Though you don't look a decade over six-fifty.
- William 'Hale' Santiago: You don't think you're overreacting just a little bit?
- Kenzi Malikov: Hey. It's called being prepared. Last time Dyson dumped Bo's ass, a car got smashed, three furies died, and a dude's HEAD was cut off.
- Kenzi Malikov: How much fun would this be, huh? Feasting, and hunting stags! And kilts! and bangers! And mash and Mary Poppins!
