Morality Chain/Quotes

If my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
And if I smile tell me some sad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool.
And if I swallow anything evil,
Put your finger down my throat!
And if I shiver, please, give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat.

Kevyn: Then what?
Chinook: (avatar changes from windy to flaming) Then my fleet of murder ships would hunt your killers until their deaths or the heat death of the universe.
Kevyn: That went to a dark place.
Chinook: (avatar reverts) I came from a dark place. If everyone I love gets killed, I'll go back.
