  • (Thoughts) I say it out of desperation, out of fear. Because he hurts and I want to take away the pain.
  • (Thoughts) I close Wilen’s eyes and move. I stand up. I keep moving. And I smile.
  • (Thoughts) Because that’s what a clown does. I think I get it. We make comedy out of tragedy, and pretend everything’s funny when it’s not.

  • (Thoughts) I think my bones break as I hit the ground. But I sit up and keep laughing. Pain is just another side of pleasure, right? It’s so funny my broken ribs don’t even bother me.
  • (Thoughts) The Troll runs off—well, limps, really. I follow him. How am I supposed to find anyone with all this smoke? I keep tripping over dead bodies. Honestly. You’d think the villagers would clean up after themselves after they go bleeding all over the place.

  • (To himself) “Tom, Tom, lost his mind! What a shock; what a bind! Ahahahahaha!
  • (Thoughts) I’m a [Clown] who kills people. I’m a fat man who’s lost his funny. I’m just a guy who kills people and lets kids die—

  • (Thoughts) Here sits a monster. Ageless. And here stands a monster. Can he see it in you, Tom? Or is this King as worthless as the land he rules?

Volume 7[edit | edit source]

  • (To Richard) “What, me? I have tons of black friends! And other species too! I’m—I’m—how dare you! Hah!
  • (To Richard) “No one’s right, Richard. No one’s a good guy. Not in this war. The sooner you realize this, and that you’re a prisoner, the sooner you’ll see it my way.
  • (To Cirille) “Commander Cirille! Here to see more comedy? Sorry, but I’m out of jokes! I could stab myself if that helps! Hah!
  • (To Cirille) “I’m not! Why does everyone blame the [Clown]?”

  • (To Cirille and [Soldier]) “Rogue undead? Darkness? Am I the only sane insane person here?
