“I don't do quiet.”
― Cale Plamann, Chiwaukee Nights

“Training area?” Kat asked, bewildered. “Do you mean the first floor is some kind of tutorial? Almost a third of humans never make it past this level.”

“Look”—Micah had to hide his face with a hand as he tried to stay serious for Trevor—“it’s a bad sign if you aren’t allowed to disagree with her. She’s listening to her dad over you, that happens, but when she won’t even let you get in a word edgewise? That’s a bad sign.” Micah bit his lip behind his hand. “If you can’t communicate with her, you don’t have a partnership. You have a relationship where things only run smoothly if you do whatever she says. It might not be a major problem today or tomorrow, but that’s a big problem long term.”

“You may not yet have hair on your balls.” Eidrak chortled, turning around and waving their party on, “but there is no doubt you are carrying boulders rather than stones in your pants. If you’re foolish enough to challenge the Khan, I’ll take you to him myself. By Ankros’ blood, there’s no way I’d miss this.”

“Ageless Folio Bound Item The Ageless Folio takes the form of a tattoo on the user’s wrist. The user may freely withdraw the Folio, which takes the form of a thin book, at will. While holding the Folio, the user learns skills 20% faster and all of their thoughts are recorded automatically in their own hand. The Folio has an infinite number of pages and the user instinctively knows on which page any information rests. Notes taken in the Folio will remain in the Folio, even if the user utilizes Blessed Return, allowing the user to retain notes from a previous life. The Folio is blank when bestowed upon the user.”

“cavemen trying to turn on a computer without electricity.”
― Cale Plamann, Into Twilight

“I know what you are,” Micah hissed, his eyes flaring. “I’ve been what you are. Nothing but hunger and mist given shape. You are empty. An animal. And you will submit.”
― Cale Plamann, Coda

“The deer grunted in agreement, its face still buried in the grass of the clearing. Micah smiled slightly at the slight bob of its antlers as it tried to pull a particularly obstinate clump of vegetation out of the soil.”
― Cale Plamann, Coda

“It’s good to know that Trevor’s Incredibly Talented Spear-art finally has a worthy disciple.” His brother burst out laughing, doubling over as he slapped his knee while Micah just stared at him, half in awe and half in disgust. “You’re a child, Trevor.” Micah shook his head, struggling to keep a hint of a smile from his face. “How the fuck are people supposed to take me seriously when I tell them my martial art is named TITS?” Trevor literally fell to the grass, tears streaming down his face while he laughed.”

This ability is only usable once every five years (subjective time). 1/1 uses available.”
― Cale Plamann, Blessed Time

“I don’t understand why human society isn’t an absolute meritocracy.” Dorrik trailed after them, a pair of longswords with extended handles crossed on their back. “Clearly your people understand the concept. You’ve told me about this ‘aptitude test’ that you take upon reaching the age of majority. If you removed corruption from the process, your entire race would benefit.” “I would tend to agree, Dorrik,” Kat responded absently as her eyes scanned the nearby grass, looking for any abnormality that might indicate a hidden animal.”

“If this works, your research into the black rituals will be forgiven, Knight Osswain, and you will be rewarded. If this doesn’t work, you knew the risks when you began your research into Dakkora’s rituals. They are forbidden for a reason, but as you know, success forgives all sins.” “Success forgives all sins,” all of the Knights reverently repeated in unison, as if it were some sort of talisman or prayer.”

“Even then, she would have been tied to the corporation. Slotted into a corporate team, her build and class selected for her by a specialist. In all likelihood, she’d be groomed into some brand of support class, focused on helping an executive candidate in their climb. With Arnold’s gift, she was free. Kat could take whatever class she wanted and develop her skills in a direction that actually suited her. True, she wouldn’t have the support and resources of the corporation, but that was a small price to pay for finally escaping their control, if only in her sleep.”

“Could you at least try to avoid picking up my brother in front of me?” Trevor groaned. “Or, I don’t know, at least wait until we’re out of the dungeon? It just seems so wrong to try and pick up boys in a dungeon.”
― Cale Plamann, Blessed Time

“Nothing on the first eight or nine levels of the tower will be stronger than wood tier, but wood tier levels and skills will cap at ten. At that point, you will need an iron tier stone to evolve them. That means either paying an absurd sum in marks for a higher leveled player to make the trek down to sell them to you, or challenging a more difficult foe.”

“Don't interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.”
― Cale Plamann, Chiwaukee Nights
