[WP]If you murder someone, your jail sentence is as long as their remaining life would have been. | "I plead guilty, Your Honor," I told the courtroom, earning gasps and whispers. "I killed her. Six milligrams of Aconitum directly into her left arm."

[WP] As a necromancer, you don't get as many girls/guys in your magic school as the charming flowermancer. How do you win over your crush? | "I don't know what to do, Sam.. Like whats the point anymore?" I mumbled as I stared down at my Revival scroll.

[WP] As a necromancer, you don't get as many girls/guys in your magic school as the charming flowermancer. How do you win over your crush? | Lilies are the flowers of funerals: the flowers of death. Lily's name was perfect, and so was she.

[WP] Demons are tasked by Lucifer to bring misery to humans on earth. Angels are tasked to bring joy. Both are invisible to humans, but not to each other. You're a sarcastic demon who hates his job and decided to perform an act of kindness. An Angel witnesses this and falls for you. | At first, I really believed in what he was doing. Still do, I guess, though these days it's hard not to be cynical about it. After all, that's our trade - cynicism and skepticism. We'd hardly be holding true to our mantra of questioning authority if we didn't also question the authority that leads our revolt.

[WP] You are an arms dealer for keyboard warriors. | My boots crunched across the gravel of the parking lot of the motor lodge.

Yep, right here. 'Happy Hacking' just like you like.

Yep, I had to pull a few strings, but I got you a PS/2.

I had just finished wrapping up a sale of a Krag rifle when I heard the *ding* of the shop door being opened. Wishing my current customer a nice day, I looked up.
