(Kira manifests into a large snakelike human, with a snake's tongue, a circle of sharp horns on her head like a crown, and her glasses; the covers of her (three hearts) book are fastened to each of her forearms and she is loosely wrapped by a large chain)
Kira: ****HSSSSSSSSSS!****

Wilcott Wilden (aka Riff's dad): /Can it be?/

Wilcott: *Kira?!?*

Kira: Wilcott! As I live and breathe! Sort of!

Farahn (having been picked up by K'Z'K): ‹UNHAND ME FOUL BUG, FOR I AM THE IMMORTAL KING OF MANKIND!›

K'Z'K (starting to reach for Gwynn): Whats really going to be funny is watching your expression as I rain destruction down on EVERYTHING you've /ever *known.*/
Lady Tomb: Grant me *godhood* that I might rain down *destruction* by your side.

K'Z'K (still holding King Farahn): HOLD ON, one Suck-up at a time. We'll start with the Mortal here. And can you make it QUICK. I have various vengeances to enact. Is it "vengeances" or "vengeanci"?

Gwynn (gathering up the scattered pages of the Book of E-ville): There must be a useful spell somewhere in this....?
--
Lady Tomb: "Vengeance" is always a singular persuit [sic: should be "pursuit"]. Oh mighty end demon! At the end of the sixth spark you granted *godhood* to the last to survive.

Lady Tomb: One was your agent in the seventh.
Chilus/Meander: How did you know about /*that?*/
