You're all I have left, and I'll do anything to bring back what fate stole from us. I promise, I won't let you down, sister.
Brother, everything we knew is gone. All we have is each other. I couldn't bear to lose you too, so please, stop this while you still can.
Pretty boy usually offers better conversation than his fangirl. Now if only I could get him to dip into my musical tastes.
Just because I'm German doesn't automatically mean I play polka music. And no, I'm not experimenting with it for our next album. Stop asking.
My guardian devil of sorts. He keeps them from killing me, and I give him blood when he needs more strength to combat them. If he can keep them from killing me so I can die some natural death, then I'll owe him my soul. I'm starting to regret that line in the contract now that I know the consequences of that...
My master whom I am contractually obligated to protect from Eksel threat and interference and ensure that his inevitable death is of causes outside of Eksel influence.
Coming up with lyrics and basic melodies is usually pretty easy for me, and the bulk of my time was put into filling out all the other parts of the songs. Lee has definitely made the process a lot smoother. Although music comes naturally to me, his professional training makes everything sound more developed, and we've been able to make more songs and albums because of it.
A prime example where passion can be just as effective as professional training when it comes to a skill. It's actually quite refreshing to be able to talk about the technical aspects of music with someone.
I try to avoid talking to Jasper too much because I'm not exactly sensitive with my words all the time. And he'll cry at the drop of a hair. I think he's the only member of the band I'm not terribly critical with because of that. Just tell him he's doing a good job and to keep practicing. Thankfully he actually does do a good job so I don't have to say much.
Volkmar is kind of a grumpy person, but I guess the creepy things we can't see bug him all the time. He and Conner taught me to play bass. I like playing a lot. He and Lee make lots of music for us to play.
If that idiot misses his cue one more time I'm going to ram this mic stand through his skull.
If the Diva ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
He was the closest to me in age, but I was never really close with him in any sense. He was always pretty grumpy all the time and was either on the beach or swimming most of the time. I broke one of his shells once and he never let me live it down. I ought to get a replacement if I ever see him again and he doesn't want me dead for some reason...
Used to be jealous of him because he stole my thunder as being the baby of the family. Who gives a fuck about that kind of shit now? I certainly wouldn't want to be in his place. Really fucked up of us to kick the kid out, but it made sense at the time.
I didn't know him all that well, but he liked pranking everyone. He left me alone though, mostly because I don't think he was interested in annoying his kid brother much. He also really liked helping Mama in the kitchen all the time. I actually picked up on a few cooking techniques from both of 'em. Good thing too... None of my bandmates from cornworld know how to prepare a saltwater fish...
Wasn't all that close with our baby brother, but I didn't have anything against him. Didn't bother me that much when he left, but thinking on it now makes me wish I was older at the time so I could've done something to protect him.
My other sister, although she really acted more like a brother honestly. Kind of loud, loved getting into fights... kind of reminds me of me now. Everyone always thought she was kind of an asshole. As much as I wasn't close at all with her, guess we have a bit in common.
I dunno much about the baby of the family. He was always hiding from us. Then again most people hide from me, so that doesn't say a lot. Uh... that's about all I've got on the subject. Don't gimme that look.
The twins were always getting into fights, but it was always our sister that started them. My brother didn't talk much, but he was a pretty clever guy. Most people wouldn't pick up on it though since Tilia was usually the center of attention.
Don't really know all that much about my youngest brother, but I sure know that I wouldn't be able to handle being isolated from the family. It doesn't weigh that much on my mind, but I don't think we handled the situation very fairly.
Here's another brother of mine I was never particularly close with. He was always a kind of small fellow that preferred the company of his bird. I think he would've preferred to have been born a Skydric.
Didn't really know too much about my youngest brother, but chances are he's like all my other siblings and grew up to be bigger than me. Poor kid was always so skittish around us. Marquis, Cyan, and Mama were the only ones that could get a word out of him.
He always talked about becoming a pirate and plundering all the Aaquanixie seas. Not sure if he's kept to that dream since then, but I thought it sounded pretty cool.
Didn't really know much about our littlest brother. Always so timid and usually hiding behind Marquis or Mama. Feel bad for the kid though. Yeah, it was awful what happened to Pops, but it was an accident. Wasn't really fair to force him out like that in retrospect.
Never really talked much with him, but he always wanted to join the military. Kind of came off as a stick in the mud sometimes, but he was actually a pretty badass older brother.
We were never particularly close, but I don't think anyone deserves to be isolated from their family like he was. I regret how we handled the situation, especially since he was just a child and had no intent to hurt anyone.
Aside from Marquis, she was the only one of my siblings that really took any interest in me. I didn't cling to her nearly as much with Marquis, but I still actually felt wanted around her. She's probably a surgeon by now. She always talked about becoming one.
Our poor littlest brother... If I had anything to say about it at the time, I wouldn't have let the others force him out like that. Marquis and I used to spend so much time with him when no one else would.
For all the kindness you gave me as a kid, I sure did a shitty job of returning the favor. I don't think I can do anything to redeem myself at this point, but I'll try. That always mattered to you, so I'll try.
I promised I'd look after you, and I've utterly failed. I never should've let everyone force you out like that. Someone should have stood up for you, and it was supposed to be me. I'll never forgive myself for it.
I'm really sorry. I don't know what else to say. I never wanted to hurt anyone, I swear. If you wanted me to be the one that died instead that day, you wouldn't be the only one.
It should've been you. You think you can just run away from the consequences of what you did, you're dead wrong.
We both made huge mistakes. I made the mistake of thinking my life was worth saving over yours, and you made the mistake of letting me live in the first place.
I should've eaten this one when I had the chance.
That guy is a tea-sipping, pretentious, elitist prick who's too much of a privileged, pretty-boy, prudish rich snob to know anything about the real world. No, I'm not his close friend. Who told you that?
Don't even speak of that boorish, uneducated, ill-tempered ruffian in my presence. The mere mention of him could make my rotting skin crawl even more so. Me, his close friend? Perish the thought.
I really need to watch my temper around this kid, he cries so easily. Sweetest guy too, so even though I'm always a jerk I REALLY feel like a jerk if I make him cry. He deserves a lot more than I can offer, but he's far too modest to accept that.
He gets really scary when he's mad, but it's okay. He doesn't always mean to be mean. And he gives really big hugs.
It was a delight teaching him to play bass, and he's such a sweet kid. He's been through way too much, and he definitely needs a gentle touch when addressing, but he's certainly a loveable fellow.
Conner's really nice. He's never mean and doesn't shout at me. He also likes hugs too. Yay.
Lee's been a close friend of mine ever since I happened to save him from those ransomers. He's definitely out of his element in the middle class world, but he's adjusting well enough, and his conversations and musical expertise are refreshing.
I owe Conner and his family my life, and I certainly don't know where I'd be now or if I would've survived had he not rescued me that day. I'm honored to call him one of my closest friends.
Shank's my best friend, and he can't seem to keep himself from doing something illegal. Gotta keep an eye on him almost as much as he needs to keep an eye on me. I don't know why I attract so much danger, but he's always got my back.
Conner's my best bud. Always seem to be a few steps behind him, and for good reason too... He gets into way too much trouble alone, and I definitely cause too much trouble if he's not around to rein me in.
You find great friends in unexpected places. I dunno what he's all self conscious for. Don't matter how startling you look, it don't change the fact you're the nicest badass around.
A rather close friend of mine. Sweet guy, but he gets into more trouble than the rest of us combined.
He is the most beautiful thing to have ever happened to me.
I can't explain what you mean to me... and I can't bear the thought of losing you if you could see what I really am.
