THE UNDERWORLD.

[ name ]'s instructions were clear.

no matter what we hear, full speed ahead.

this land confuses your mind.

all i hear are screams, every time i dare to close my eyes.

i no longer dream, only nightmares of those who've died.

nothing's what it seems.

when does a man become a monster?

why would you let the cyclops live when ruthlessness is mercy?

the past seems close behind.

this life is amazing when you greet it with open arms.

whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart.

greet the world with open arms.

that voice, it can't be.

when you come home i'll be waiting.

even if you're the last thing i see, i'll be waiting.

i'm right here, [ name ].

can't you see? i'm waiting.

i took too long.

i'll always love you.

i'll stay in your heart.

NO LONGER YOU.

i am the prophet with the answers you seek.

time, i've unlocked it.

i see past and future running free.

there is a world where i help you get home, but that's not a world i know.

i see the sacrifice of man.

i see portrayals of betrayal.

i see a man who gets to make it home alive, but it's no longer you.

this can't be.

we've suffered and sailed through the toughest of hells.

now you tell us our effort's for nothing?

i see your palace covered in rеd.

i see your wife with a man who is haunting, a man with a trail of bodies.

MONSTER.

how has everything been turned against us?

how did suffering become so endless?

how am i to reunite with my estranged?

do i need to change?

i'm surrounded by the souls of those i've lost.

i'm the only one whose line i haven't crossed.

what if the greatest threat we'll find across the sea is me?

what if i'm the monster?

what if i'm in the wrong?

what if i'm the problem that's been hiding all along?

what if i'm the one who killed you every time i caved to guilt?

what if i've been far too kind to foes, but a monster to ourselves?

is the cyclops struck with guilt when he kills?

is he up in the middle of the night?

did she learn to be colder when she got older and now she saves them the pain?

when a god comes down and makes a fleet drown is he scared that he's doing something wrong?

if i became the monster, and threw that guilt away, would that make us stronger?

would it keep our foes at bay?

who would care if we're unjust?

ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.

i lost my best friend.

i lost my mentor.

i will deal the blow and i'll become the monster.

so what if i'm the monster lurking deep below?

i'll become the monster.

PUPPETEER.

i have something that i must confess.

until it is said, i cannot rest.

go make sure this [ place ] is secure.

there's only so much left we can endure.

whatever you need to say can wait some more.

[ name ], back so soon?

by the gods, what happened to you?

inside we heard a voice.

nothing could prepare us for thе power that awaited inside.

what did this [ place ] hide?

since we left home we've faced a variety of foes from a wide range of places.

we are weak to a power like this.

what was it?

she had us in just two words.

come inside.

damn...

go ahead and rest wherever you like.

i got you.

don't worry, [ name ]'s got you now.

let me bring you all something to eat.

she changed them!

the world does not tend to forgive.

i'm not a player, i'm a puppeteer.

we have to go save them.

let's just cut our losses, you and i, and let's run.

i can hardly sleep now knowing everything we've done.

there's no length i wouldn't go if it was you i had to save.

i can only hope you'd do the same.

i can hear her still and her voice deceives.

this is the price we pay to love.

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE.

i must say what a brilliant speech you gave.

who goes there?

a foe like [ name ] is not to be messed with.

you wanna beat [ pronoun ]?

wouldn't you like a taste of the power?

wouldn't you like to use more than words?

wouldn't you like to have some of thе magic?

wouldn't you like your outcome prefеrred?

she can turn you into an animal that'll end up on her plate.

she can conjure up a monster that'll grind you to the bones.

all you need’s imagination.

don’t thank me, friend. you very well may die!

DONE FOR.

i hope that i've been misinformed.

we seldom get a warm welcome.

did you do something to them?

all i did was reveal their true forms.

i don't know who you are nor why you're here.

i've got people to protect.

i'm not taking chances.

if you makе one wrong move, then you're done for.

i could put a spell on you and you're done for.

you better cower now and flee.

[ name ] gave it to you, didn't he?

okay, fine, yes, but regardless.

you and i are now evenly matched.

our fates are intertwined, they're attached.

you've made your one wrong move, now you're done for.

the last time we let strangers live, we faced a heavy loss.

everyone's true colours are revealed in acts of lust.

i'm not sure i follow.

THERE ARE OTHER WAYS.

there are other ways of persuasion.

there are other modes of control.

there are other means of deceit.

there are other roads to the soul.

there are other actions of passion.

you have so much left to learn.

show me that you're willing to burn.

there is so much power, but there's no puppet here.

forgive me.

back at home, my wife awaits for me.

she is my everything, my [ name ].

it's been twelve long years.

the god of tides is out to end my life.

so i beg you, [ name ], grant us mercy.

there might be a way to evade him.

there might be a way to get home.

it might be your one final hope.

wait, you're helping us?

maybe showing one act of kindness leads to kinder souls down the road.

i have been in love once before.

maybe one day the world will need a puppeteer no more.

you really had me going for a minute there.

you'll love this place.

if they're not his, where did you get them?

there was something outside the house that was clearly murderous and looked just like me.

you clearly need to loosen up.

let me in!

don't. say. a. word.

you're an ugly one, aren't you?

are you dead, or do i need to blast you again?

they were wrong. they were all wrong. i showed them.

he isn't worth what we'll pay for this.

i thought he was going to kill you.

ANY WAY THE WIND BLOWS.

she was no stranger to the world.

the weather ain't the way it was before.

ain't no spring or fall at all anymore.

it's either blazing hot or freezing cold any way the wind blows.

there ain't a thing that you can do.

do you hear that sound?

ain't nobody gonna stick around when the dark clouds roll.

anybody got a match?

gimme that.

people turn on you just like the wind.

everybody is a fair weather friend.

in the end, you're better off alone.

ain't no length to which a girl won't go.

sometimes you think just to fill your belly full of food.

you know how those muses are.

this poor boy, he wore his heart out on his sleeve.

you might say he was naïve to the ways of the world.

he had a way with words.

and it ain't because i'm kind.

i took him underneath my wing and that is where he stayed until one day…

you wanna talk to her?

[ name ]? don't come on too strong.​

your name is like a melody.

oh, a liar, and a player too!

i've met too many men like you.​

i'm workin' on a song.

i haven't seen a spring or fall since… i can't recall.​

oh, he's crazy.​..

why would i become his wife?

what else ya got?

WEDDING SONG.

times being what they are - hard and getting harder all the time.

it isn't finished.

you wanna take me home?

how'd you do that?

even so, it can do this?

EPIC I.

where'd you get that melody?

i don’t know. it came to me as if i'd known it all along.

you’ve heard that melody before?

remember the tale i told you once about the gods?

is it nature or divine or a blessing in disguise?

our home's in sight.

there's no time to die.

brace for a storm.

brace for a storm the likes of which we've never seen before.

with home so close, we must keep pushing forward.

head towards the island but avoid the crashing waves.

tread where the tide is flat and then you will be safе.

captain, we will capsize with thesе waves.

i'll ensure that we prevail.

we're taking too much damage to survive.

we'll beat this storm.

at this rate, we won't make it out alive.

what do you have in mind?

we're gonna shoot for the sky.

LUCK RUNS OUT.

please don't tell me you're about to do what i think you'll do.

we're in the home of the wind god.

we don't know for sure.

how many floating islands have you seen before?

and what's your plan?

i'm gonna climb to the top and ask 'em for a hand.

you could be caught off guard and lose your life.

have faith, friend, we've come this far.

yes, but how much longer til your luck runs out?

how much longer 'til the show goes south?

how much longer 'til we all fall down?

i still believe in goodness.

i still believe that we could be kind.

i just don't wanna see another life end.

and suddenly you doubt that i could figure this out?

i can't have you planting seeds of doubt.

i can't have you disagreeing each route.

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE.

i don't know if you know this, but our path to home is blocked by an impenetrable storm.

i ask for your assistance.

let's play a game.

if you win, you will get what you're yearning.

all you gotta do is not open this bag.

sounds too easy, what's the catch?

keep your friends close and your enemiеs closer.

never rеally know who you can trust.

'cause the end always justifies the means.

friends turn into foes and rivalries.

captain, what's happening?

let's see what you got.

we cannot let the treasure rumor fly.

sometimes sneaking is a must.

for nine days, i've stayed wide awake.

i can't wait to make some new memories.

time for me to be the father i never was.

why are my eyes and my heart and my soul so heavy?

just keep your eyes open.

why won't you let me?

wake up!

do you know who i am?

RUTHLESSNESS.

in all my years of living, it isn't very often that i get pissed off.

damn, you crossed the line.

i've been so gracious.

i'm left without a choice and without a doubt.

guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the shark now.

i've gotta make you bleed.

i need to see you drown.

ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.

you are the worst kind of good.

you are the worst kind of good, 'cause you're not even great.

mercy has a price.

unlike you i've got no mercy left to give.

now it is finally time to say goodbye.

today, you die.

we meant no harm.

we only hurt him to disarm him.

we took no pleasure in his pain.

we only wanted to escape.

you won't live through this day.

you’ve grown soft. your dead friends can attest.

put your emotions aside.

you're a warrior meant to lead the rest.

i don't know where i went wrong.

this way, when all is over you'll keep yours and i'll keep mine.

this way, you won't waste my time.

consider this as my goodbye.

that’s just likе you, why should i be surprised?

unlike you, every time someone dies, i'm left to deal with the strain.

i'll remind you i saw you as a friend, but now we're done.

you're not looking for a mentor.

i'm not looking for a friend.

i mistook you for a general.

what a waste of effort spent.

at least i know what i'm fighting for.

since you claim you're so much wiser, why's your life spent all alone?

one day, you'll hear what i'm saying.

one day, you might understand.

letting go can expand the space we've always occupied.

a perfect place to rеst our bones.

how did you trap those fireflies?

all the girls love him.

ah, he's hard to forget.

there's more people dancing than i've ever seen.

a man made of gold grew up on these streets.

i know him quite well.

when he starts rambling, i find it's funny as hell.

well, some people leave.

that's just his cup of tea.

if he offends you, well, that's just his cup of tea.

the days are hot, the days are long.

no, i'm not innocent.

no, i'm not innocent and i would do it all again.

the devil earned his sin.

i'll never forgive him.

i'll never forget.

i'll never forgive him for what he did.

i used to be a gambler at the crack of noon.

he tried to take my life.

but that son of a bitch, the roach of a man, drew his gun and changed my plans.

they work me to the bone.

if i could choose a new beginning, i'd wanna be a famous actor.

would all of those eyes start to get to me?

would those sleepless nights start to get to me?

would i lose sight of who i was raised to be?

i wouldn't know; i'll never know.

he's been lazy.

it's driving me crazy.

maybe he should get a job.

it's been useless.

he never hears me.

he just sits there in front of the tv giving his whole life away.

maybe i don't want to stay.

i think she hates me.

she just never seems to quit.

do this, do that.

where's the respect at?

it's not my fault we're not able to buy the things we both want.

man, i love that girl. she is my whole world.

i needed a break from the rat race.

my body just can't handle it.

i always come back with the same old lines.

i'm tryin' to be as individual as you.

you have raised the bar so high that i can't reach it.

i'm now aware of incompleteness.

that's fine, it's all fine.

if you are the water, then i want to taste it.

if you are a human, then i am desire.

where'd you get the energy to be that spicy?

maybe i’ve known you just a little too long.

i can really start to see you're rubbing off on me.

our relationship might be a little bit strong.

I been taking on some traits that I don't wanna be.

it's been a long ride, that's right.

i just find i'm starting to collide with what you say, and that's okay.

i'm feeling gravity on the backslide.

when did we start looking we were dressed by some proud older parents trying to impress?

our color coordination is truly canny.

we'vе been amigos now for how many years?

it's a blurry tipsy-turny world that's out there.

don't be ashamed, you got game.

i'm on your side, it's alright.

i'm feeling blessed by a curse.

my heart's a mess, my head is worse.

with so much love, why is there pain?

i guess sometimes they're one and the same.

i have no doubts; i know what i want.

what will she choose?

i'll have to see if i am worth her company.

i never wanted to sleep.

oh, i won't forget.

memento mori leaves a debt.

my brain was cynical inside this massive hole and then it swallowed me.

can't remember my own name.

i'm tied and bound, a wild beast crying for release.

if this tree could talk what would it say?

you’ve lived a long life, my friend.

you’ve seen better days, i’m sure.

THROUGH THE TIDES. roleplay starters of fish in a birdcage's album through the tides. feel free to edit according to scenario / pronouns.

he thought i would change.

as i rose from the ashes, i embraced his rage.

fear has unleashed this storm.

the fire spread throughout my bones and stayed.

i'm aware of the madness that has stained our air.

i paint all the darkness.

i've been searching for a change.

maybe just a little bit of strange is what i need to embrace.

i'm finding there's just way too much to do.

so much to see, too much to choose.

maybe i'll just ride it like a wave.

too much caffeine can't shut off my mind.

i'm sure that you can relate.

it's hard to find peace in this day and age.

we try our very best to live day by day.

who needs rulеs?

use them as you please.

i have started to believe that fate is always chasing me.

i won't let it tear me down.

i was content with second place.

yes, it's true.

i planned a trip to outer space.

there was a time where i stayed safe from outside.

i thought i would be stronger.

my nights are so much longer.

you left my heart no choice.

you stopped my breath and i couldn't look away.

take me with you.

take me with you to the other side.

undress your truth in my bedroom.

you were a wanderer back when you were young.

i remember your eyes were clear, brighter than the sun.

i could only lead you so far.

i believe in who you are.

take the world by storm.

you are a child of the stars.

use the power in your lungs.

i want to live with passion in my eyes.

am i brave enough?

i'm gonna risk it all.

i wish we spoke with silver in our tongue.

i've never seen a storm this fierce.

i'm feeling rather small in here.

hold me closely, don't let go.

i need to calm down.

i've never heard a crash that loud.

i swear it tore right through the ground.

and so, we set sail.

we set sail to the sea on the back of a whale.

she's a blade that glides through the tides.

she moves just like a ghost.

i trust you.

i trust you, my dear.

i trust you to carry me home.

i don't know if you can see it.

some call it love.

i believe that we can make it.

i believe in all of you.

i believe that we can make this.

pass it along.

i'm just the messenger.

i wanna speak to your soul.

this is our conversation starter.

this is larger than the both of us.

you can't kill an idea.

[ name ], please come in.

all i want is to be with you.

it's good to hear your voice.

i'll tell you what the world looks like from up here.

please stay safe and warm till i get to you.

oh, my dear, will you believe in me?

can you see the moon lit up above?

i'm here for you if you want me to be the attention of your love.

we lit a flame just to watch it burn.

have we lost our roots, our ties to the earth?

what i have seen has made me believe.

we've buried ourself in paperwork instead of planting trees.

kick back, relax.

buddy, don’t have a heart attack.

what's the harm in wanting to play some good tunes?

it's your loss, not mine.

we just wanted to improve the lives of all those people trapped inside.

it's in our heads!

why can't you see?

every day felt exactly the same.

i'm a fish inside a birdcage.

my brother always sings me songs.

he makes me feel that i belong.

he has a wild imagination and tells me things that must be true.

carry me from these walls.

show me the world outside.

it has to be true.

i'm counting on you.

i'm counting on you to be my wings and my eyes.

there's a voicе that comforts me.

we feel each rock so differently.

you gave me more than i could ask for.
