Gaze Quote by Michael Scott
““I need something dramatic.I thought we would start with something theatrical, something that will make an impact on the city,something to focus their attention." Nereus considered for a moment and then he smiled, revealing his hideous teeth. "I do have the Lotan." Machiavelli and Billy looked at him blankly. " The Lotan," Nereus said. The two immortals shook their heads. "I have no idea what that is," Machiavelli admitted. "Doesn't sound scary to me," Billy said. "It's a seven-headed sea dragon." Machiavelli nodded. "That might work." "It'll certainly get their attention," Billy muttered.””
