What is your favorite thing someone in your book has said? My personal favorite is this, "No, it's not a gift. I'm possessed by a fucking demon."

One of my main characters gets turned from a mermaid to a human, and while his human friends are getting him into some normal clothes, he starts shuffling uncomfortably then looks down into his pants and goes, "Um…I think the potion had a side-effect?"
There's also a character from another story that asks one of her animal friends how the predators and prey in the forest manage to get along so well (they've all been in hiding together), to which the animal replies, "Yeah, we just don't fucking kill each other." Character then proceeds to question if she really should have explained human swear words to the one animal who was most likely to use them.

"You've got a lot of nerve asking that, considering your name is Dallas." Said in response to something along the lines of "What kind of a name is Ara?"

"Get me the fondue before I fucking kill you."

"Get me the fondue before I fucking kill you."

(Now I wanna know what the context was….)

"Get me the fondue before I fucking kill you."

(Now I wanna know what the context was….)

No you don't, you really don't.

"Get me the fondue before I fucking kill you."

(Now I wanna know what the context was….)

No you don't, you really don't.

(That just made me more curious… but okey…)

"Ah, shit."

"Ah, shit."

A classic.

"Get me the fondue before I fucking kill you."

(Now I wanna know what the context was….)

No you don't, you really don't.

(That just made me more curious… but okey…)

Well, I'll I'm going to say is, don't leave a reincarnated god, a human version of an Italian cryptid, and a gay sorcerer alone in a fondue restaurant.

That just raises more questions-

"Did you see that!" person A asks person B.
"No," Person B replies sarcastically.
(Person B is blind)

"You've got a lot of nerve asking that, considering your name is Dallas." Said in response to something along the lines of "What kind of a name is Ara?"

This reminds me of The Outsiders and I love it so much lol

Right now it's:
"You're staking our entire escape on Vivian's ability to hold her tongue?"
Granted, I don't have a lot written but still.

Person A trips, and Person B asks if they are okay. Here is the response
“Y-yeah. It’s great that gravity still works. Works just fine.”

"Elmer, sweetheart, stop eating the gluestick or I'll have to take away Pouncival. We don't want that, now, do we?"
(note: elmer is 23)

My story contains shape-shifting apex predators. This can lead to some interesting conversations between people who are experienced at dealing with them. Here's two of my faves:
"There was a praying mantis the size of a grain silo that came through a local town some years back."
And:
“Oh, they’re not so bad. The only time I had trouble with them was one time when I tried to cross the river with a refrigerator full of squirrels and a company of sick dentists. That was a scary few hours, let me tell you.”

Where can i read your book??

Haha well I wish it were finished but I've got a long way to go XDD If you're really interested, I have a short snippet finished that I could share (that's where these quotes are from actually)

(Here you go then! Hope the link works! It's kind of an info-dump story, tbh, but you might find it entertaining ^^

Enjoy!)

YEE!!

"Can I have that back now?" The main character says as a disembodied soul, gesturing to her body.

Points to the sun. "Can I eat that?"
