“Wait! Wait!” The beggar called out from behind her. “I can see! I’m healthy!” Hilda smiled to herself, pleased. “You just took away my livelihood! Do you have any idea how hard it is out here for a healthy beggar?” The man sounded almost angry.”

“…and know, my fellow colleagues, friends, associates, subordinates, assistants, admirers, articulate adversaries and all those others so assembled here in this gloriously, yet in no way garishly decorated reception hall at this hallowed, historic and honorable happening, that we seek not only to enable and enervate this experimental endeavor that seeks to engender an edifying and equitably egalitarian enterprise to extend the existence of law into the ersatz empire of evil; an expedition that emboldens so many earnest, and certainly not erstwhile exhibitions of emotions of trust and facilitation and goodwill between our organizations…” continued this most recent chancellor or councilor, or something with a title.”

“It amazed me how polarizing sexuality could be for the people sticking their noses in your personal life. Why is it anyone else's business who I'm attracted too?”

“How did he get stuck in this farcical hero role? If he were a character in a book he was reading, he’d damn the author to hell. Hmm, well, given those circumstances, at least he could punch the author in the face because they’d both be in the same place. Tom almost laughed hysterically again. ”

“The question,” Rupert stated, “is, do I rend you limb from limb, physically? Or do I rend you cell by cell, magically?” Rupert certainly couldn’t do the latter, and he really didn’t want to do the former; however, the demon had really made him mad. He deserved to suffer a little fear. If Rupert had been a human, he’d be dead by now, he was sure. “Limb by limb, if you please.” The demon begged. “I’ll be forever regenerating with the cell-by-cell thing. Please...” The demon almost seemed to whine. “Please lord, if I have to regenerate cell by cell, my master will really be angry with me. He doesn’t like his people slacking off, taking up his time to regenerate from their own stupidity, as he’d say. Just rend me limb from limb, I promise I won’t bother you anymore. Please?” Rupert just continued to glare. He was taken by surprise. The little fellow acted as if it were standard procedure in this circumstance. He was actually begging for one method over the other. “Please? Limb by limb?” the demon begged. Rupert shrugged. He’d never rent anyone limb from limb before. He wasn’t sure how it was supposed to be done, but he could use his imagination. Rupert waded in. It was all rather messy, he’d decided afterward.”
