...My – my cookies...?

-"Talk-talk-talk-talk. Demyx wished he had a sock puppet. He could put it on his hand, colour its hair purplish-blue, open up with a shrill, “Hi, I’m Zexy!” and then just spend a couple hours repeating the word ‘yap!’ It’d sum things up nicely. Demyx was kind of tempted to grab his crotch out of the blue and see how much talking he got done that way. Heh. Wouldn’t Zexion be startled?

…This was, frighteningly, seeming like a better and better idea the more he thought about it.

-"Riku frowned slightly, studying the boy. After a long moment, he said, “Well, fuck that.” Sora’s head came up sharply, some powerful pain in his eyes. “I’m not the type to throw myself against a door, Sora, and hope the person on the other side is going to feel like coming out.” Before the brunet could unlock, could gather himself and flee from this abandonment from the one person that finally seemed to get it… Riku lifted a hand. He extended a finger, and pressed at something invisible in the air. “Ding-dong,” he sang. He smiled crookedly. “Works much better. Goes through the whole house. You’re never left in any doubt that there’s someone wanting to get in and steal your cookies.”

Faintly, Sora echoed, “…My – my cookies…?”

-"They leaned against the slowly cooling car, under the shade thrown by the hood, and he asked, “So, Sora, are you the kind of hitchhiker that wears a friendly mask and then murders people in their beds, or are you just genuinely nice?”

“My current lack of police record,” the brunet replied thoughtfully, pulling a large bottle out of his bag and taking a gulp of water, “indicates that either I
am genuinely nice, or just really good at hiding the bodies.”"

-""Come on, Ianto," he says, picking up the box of Frosties. "Doesn't this adorable little cartoon make you want to let loose your inner child?"

"I have no inner child," says Ianto, deadpan. "I was born this old."

"Oh, I doubt that," says Jack. He waggles the box of Frosties and speaks as the mascot, affecting his silliest growly voice. "Why Snap, Crackle, and Pop, what delicious little elves you are. I could just
eat you up!" He gives Ianto the face, the one that says "play with me," the one he knows is almost irresistible. Ianto's lips twitch and he picks up the other box.

"Oh, Tony," he says, voice pitched high, "I bet you're a tiger in the sack."

-"I nodded, though it made my head spin. "Yes, Headwoman Azaze. But I never lie to Rosethorn. She, um, discourages it."

"Evvy and I have an understanding." Rosethorn had returned with packets of herbs and a mug, She grabbed the teakettle and poured hot water into the mug. "She tells me the truth, and I don't hang her in the first well we come to. It's a solution that works tolerably well for both of us."
