(since I worked so damn long to try and replicate his voice or at least have it consistent, thought I'd do the same game with him as with valentine)
(1) "You must be more careful with your questions, doctor. The truth can be difficult to bear."
(2) “I did not touch him.”
(3) “Perhaps I am not very nice.”
(4) “I think if you agree to help me oppose Yorinobu, I must expect crazy.”
(5) “I had almost forgotten…how good it feels to be whole."
(6) "Sit. Or I will take you to your ripperdoc."
(7) “So long as I have good company, I will not complain.”
(8) "It is not so bad."
(9) “I will draw his attention. He wants very much to kill you."
(10) “You judge me, but you have no right. You act the poor thief, but you were not always so. Your life was comfortable. Perhaps unlikely to advance – but you did not go hungry.”
(11) "Untrue. If all goes well I have little part to play. I wish only to be ready."
(12) "Yes, I remember. Also, I saved your life."
(13) "Do you truly think me so arrogant? That I do not know what your loyalty is worth?”
If you ever tagged me to do one of those tag game thingies and I never did it:
1) Thank you, seriously. Those are fun and being included shows that my followers care enough to want to learn more about me.
2) Very sorry about that, it’s extremely likely that I said to myself “Cool! But I’m busy at the moment, I’ll have to do this later today or tomorrow” before proceeding to just straight-up forget, now it’s too far back in my notifications and/or your blog to find again.
i come from the 8tracks generation where you weren't allowed to just dump three and a half twee indie folk/tswift records into a fanmix and call it done. on 8tracks you had 8+ handpicked songs in rigid chronological order and an accompanying mission statement and thesis defence detailing exactly why each one applied to your derek x stiles coffee shop au AND cover/track-list art hodgepodged from stolen pinterest/tumblr aesthetic photography, and all of this was done under constant threat of death because it was the DMCA wild west and the site was in a constant state of gradual collapse.
the cast of the second most insane consulting job you've ever had:
rosalind: CEO who you once held in vague contempt. despite this you feel compelled to smugly text all your friends when she laughs at one of your jokes. at the company happy hour she vaguely implicates herself in several felonies, kisses your cheek, and forgets about you the instant you pass out of view.
reed: deeply pathetic middle manager whose unwavering loyalty to the people making his life a misery somehow makes you wish he approved of you. always talking about how he's never taken a vacation or called in sick, in a way clearly meant to suggest something about your level of commitment to the job.
alex: the perfect coworker, but after a decade of working together you try to remember if you actually know anything personal about her. never forgets your birthday even though you're certain you've never mentioned it to her.
so mi: screwed you and this whole project but is really sorry about it. watching her work makes you think you're never going to be good at anything. sometimes says things about her employer that make you seriously consider arson.
hansen: last you saw him in college he was picking a fight with a bouncer and winning, now it’s become clear he’s set up some kind of protein powder mlm which is also a cult? his role in the company is unclear but no one ever wants to argue with him in meetings.
hands: VP of…something. polite, congenial, and also facilitated the installation of several local orphan crushing machines. unclear if his offhanded comment about watching your progress with interest is encouragement or a warning.
