<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

"Lose the battle, win the war" sort of thing?

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Really? I haven't seen any of that!
*Frowns*
There are only weird paintings where I'm at!

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*Looks at the man*
-Man- Once again, we thank you for your service. Without the help of travellers like you we may not have survived for many years. Fare well.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Yeah, that's the kind of thing I'm getting at.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Ooh, there's a vampire over here! I didn't see him through any of the mirrors; that's how I know he's a vampire!

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Pretty much always winning the war though?

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

It's no trouble.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Wow! That must mean there are no mirrors between you!

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I'd say that's the norm, yeah.

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

It's no trouble.

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

It was fun, even--no problem at all.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

That is also true!

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Does that not get repetitive?

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Follow me, you two. *Walks briskly toward a woody, leafy arch and waves you after me* Now, you asked where I'm from and what happens now. *Snaps my fingers when I arrive in front of the arch and it opens in a swirling green portal* Right through here. Careful on the other side—it's a bit of a drop. *Steps through and you hear a fading hoot*

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Wow! Lucky!

<Snipped quote by Legend>

The kind of things dealt with here, they aren't exactly fun-centric. I'd say nobody really loses for the flavor of it. Winning as much as possible is in the general best interest so that's what they do. As much as they can. It just happens to be a lot.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Ooh, I think the vampire needs a blood donation; he's looking kind of pale! Poor guy! Hey, mister, I think there's a hospital around here somewhere and you can get blood!

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

*Raises an eyebrow and follows you through*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Everyone loses joy in life eventually.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

*He bites you*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Thanks! Also, I think you're the only girl in this fight that's not evil--the other one is Kirina--so you're totally a breath of fresh air. Abby, right?
