Notable Quotes

"Goddammit Donut!"
"Cats are assholes. I get it. But do you know why people like cats, despite their asshole-ness? It’s because they don’t fucking talk. If they did, and they were all like you, they’d all be extinct because we’d have killed you all by now."
"Mana Toast. This is toast. It refills your mana. That’s it. Nothing more. Fuck you."
