Line 17:
* [[Cassandra Did It]]: Possibly the Mothman.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Although in this case it's not so much that dark is good so much as [[Orange and Blue Morality|"who the heck knows"]].
{{quote| '''Leek:''' You're asking for an explanation for something that can't be explained rationally. You know the buildup of energy before something happens? The way your hair stands up before lightning strikes? <br />
'''John:''' "Before something happens." Do you mean they cause disasters? <br />
'''Leek:''' Why would they need to? <br />
'''John:''' All right, then, are they trying to warn me? <br />
'''Leek:''' Their motivations aren't human. <br />
'''John:''' All right, then what do they want? <br />
'''Leek:''' I have no idea. What you really want is to know: why you? <br />
'''John:''' Yes. <br />
'''John:''' You noticed them, and they noticed that you noticed them. Most people aren't sensitive enough to see them, without some kind of... trauma? }}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Connie.
* [[Dies Wide Open]]: {{spoiler|Gordon Smallwood}}
* [[Dreaming of Things to Come]]
{{quote| '''Connie:''' It was nighttime and I was in the middle of the ocean. I was trying to swim, but I was too cold. I kept looking-- I kept looking for something to hang on to. And there were presents floating all around me. They were wrapped up. They were tied with bows. I tried to grab on to them, but they kept popping away. And then I started to sink like a stone. There was nothing I could do. I was falling. But it felt good. I was letting go. I was letting myself go... and all I could see was black and all I could feel was the darkness above me and the lights coming from below. I knew I was dying. And then I heard this voice, like somebody whispering in my ear. "Wake up, number 37." And then I woke up. }}
** Gordon also has predictions from daymares.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]
Line 54:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Perhaps unintentional or intentional; Leeks story of knowing a [[Arlington Road|building was going to blow up]] and no one listened.
* [[These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know]]:
{{quote| '''John:''' Didn't you ''need'' to know?<br />
'''Leek:''' ''([[Beat]])'' We're not ''allowed'' to know. }}
* [[Too Happy to Live]]
{{quote| '''John:''' Two weeks ago, we were house hunting. One day you're just driving along in your car, and the universe just points at you and says, "Ah, there you are: a happy couple. I've been looking for you. I've been looking for you."}}
* [[The Un-Reveal]] You ''never'' get to see Indrid Cold.
* [[The Unsolved Mystery]]
Line 66:
* [[You Are Number Six|You Are Number 37]]
* [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form]]:
{{quote| '''John:''' I think we can assume that these entities are more advanced than us. Why don't they just come right out and tell us what's on their minds?<br />
'''Leek:''' You're more advanced than a cockroach, have you ever tried explaining yourself to one of them? }}
