(For the 13th Doctor) Holy shit, you’re like Doctor Quantum!-Avatar Shen

@multi-muse-transect

The Doctor stared at the other oddly. "I may be old, but I don't look that old, am I?"

"No problem. Always happy to help a friend." Cyrus gave the other a smile, helping the other to stand. It was a weird feeling to help someone that would turn him in to the other bounty hunters. Yet again, perhaps he could trust the other to not do that.

"I don't know." Cyrus frowned slightly. "We can lie about our identities. That should get us in with suspicion." He suggested.

Cyrus shook his head. "Seriously, let me help you." He reached over, taking the other's arm to let it rest on his own shoulders. Helping him to keep balance.

"We're going to have to find someone in the medical field." He said. He knew that it would be risky to ask for help, especially if those doctors would turn him in if he gets recognized. The man's injuries were too serious to ignore. So in this case, he has no choice.

Eerie Atmospheric Settings: Plot Starters

Instead of a specific plot to work around, here’s a list of settings that all feature a melancholy, moody, or creepy atmosphere. Simply send me a symbol for a setting you want to RP in, and I’ll either make a starter or approach you to plot!

🌕A full moon night with wind whistling through the trees

🌊The seashore late at night, with lightning over the water in the distance

🏤Stepping into a house that gives off all the wrong vibes

🍁A cold day in late autumn, which is silent and deeply lonely

🎹Nighttime in an ancient house/manor, with the tinkling of piano keys from the next room

💧 Rain in the early morning, so dark that there’s hardly a sunrise

⛪A church right after a funeral, a small handful of people dressed in black hanging their heads in silence

🌳A maze-like forest at dusk, with a sense of anxiety as the sun disappears

⛵On the beach before dawn as remnants of a ship wreck wash onto shore

🍂A chilly, overcast autumn afternoon

🌃Midnight in a busy city, sirens blaring a few blocks away

🎃After dark on Halloween night after trick-or-treating ends

🚘Sitting with a popped tired on the side of a long stretch of road, waiting

⚡Distant thunder from a massive storm headed straight this way

🥀An overgrown garden of nothing but poisonous (or dead, dry) plants

🌾An eerie plot of farmland with seemingly no one around for miles

🐊Murky swampland with posted warnings to keep people away

🔥 A roaring bonfire in the distance on a pitch black night, with dark silhouettes crowded or dancing around it

🚧Standing near old, abandoned train tracks when the bell starts to ring

🐟Taking a swim on an uninhabited plot of beach, noticing ripples in the water

🌿An old-fashioned plantation with secretive locals and a bitter history

💀A cemetery full of dead, dry flowers as if all of the plots have been forgotten, some of the stones cracked or sinking into the dirt

🚇A dingy old subway station, walls chipped to pieces, while waiting for a ride home

🌈The sad silence after a violent storm, debris and wreckage everywhere

👗An attic full of musty clothes and antiques belonging to someone long-dead

❄ A snowstorm locking everyone in their homes, with electricity flickering

🍄An enchanting plot of forest or stream, tiny whispers cutting the silence

🌑Inside of a re-occurring nightmare had time and time again

☔Taking a long walk with an umbrella, struggling with a low, low mood

☕At a quiet cafe, but unfamiliar folk are whispering and staring

🌵A winding road through the desert with only one dingy hotel, its ‘vacancy’ light flickering red

💤Dreaming of scraping nails gainst the window glass, and waking to still hear it

🐕A quiet night, the only sound being the call of coyotes/wolves in the woods

Outcast/Runaway Sentence Starters

Suggested by lxnked-memorxes, who wanted some outcast vampire prompts (the idea has been made slightly vaguer than the original so that others can use it too).

“Have you told anyone? About what/who you are?

“If they find out, we’re both dead.”  

“Maybe we’ll just, I don’t know, run away? Live in the woods? On the moon?”

“Shh! Hide! Someone’s coming.”

“I never thought I’d meet someone else just like me.”

“The down side is, now we’ve got to take care of each other, not just worry about ourselves.”

“I can’t protect you! I can’t even protect myself!”

“You know, if we’re seen together, we’re both going to get killed.”

“I’m not sure what I prefer: being killed or being thrown out into the wilderness.”

“If we found a way to escape, would you consider it?”

“Just act normal. Don’t do anything suspicious, and they’ll never know.”

“I’ve been hiding who I am for a long time. Trust me, you get used to it.”

“Do you know what they would do to me if they knew I was talking to you?”

“You can stay one night. But that’s it. In the morning, you better be gone.”

“You’re one of them. Aren’t you?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone you’re here. But you can’t make a scene.”

“How do you do it? How do you blend in to everyone around you?”

“I already know what you are. Now get the hell out of here before I call for them to take you away.”

“Please, trust me, I’m not like they say I am!”

“They’re looking for you.”

“They’re looking for people like you.”

“You can’t let them find me. You know what they do to people like me!”

“We can’t hide forever, you know.”

“Why are we being punished? Just for being born?”

“I don’t think we’re the problem. I think the problem is they don’t understand.”

“I can prove to you that the rumors are all lies, just give me a chance.”

“We’re not as horrible as they say we are.”

“I saw what they did to someone just like me, and I’ll be damned if it’s going to happen to me too.”

“I don’t care who or what you are, I still care.”

[musesreunite]

"This is kind of an off-day for me. This doesn’t normally happen."

[musesreunite]

"When I promise something, I never ever break that promise."

[musesreunite]

"Let’s just assume for the moment that everyone in here doesn’t like me!"

We have to escape before we’re next.” “Can you say with honesty that you’ve never made agreements with a devil?” “We should have known that there’s no respect for people who are different.” “Before worrying about my soul, I suggest looking at your own.” “If you pray for forgiveness, you might survive.” “I would never give you the names of my brothers and sisters.” “I’d rather burn than be just like you.” “Burning your neighbors alive can never be an act of love.” “I’m going to help break you out of here. We’re escaping tonight.” “Go ahead and do your worst. I’m not giving you any names.” “I wish I really was a witch so I could curse the life out of you.” “I’m not afraid of you like the others are.” “Why are you here? To laugh at me in my cell?” “I haven’t done anything. Why would they lock me up for nothing?” “It’s so normal for people to try to destroy the thing they don’t understand.” “How does it feel, being caged like an animal waiting for slaughter?” “Tomorrow’s your big day. Have you decided on your last words?” “Tell me the truth. Did you really do it?” “You’ve sinned, but do you really deserve to die because of it?” “How could you let yourself become so corrupt? “There’s evil here, but it’s not the ones they’ve locked up.” “Maybe I am guilty, but so are you!” “I wanted to visit you one last time before… you know.” “I’ve come to terms with my own death.” “It’s your word against all of theirs. What do you have to say?” “I’m not going to let them kill you.” “I don’t care who or what you are. I still love you.” “I’ve strayed from the light and this is how I’m paying for it.” “Tomorrow is the execution, isn’t it?” “I’m so sorry. I wish I could have protected you.” “If I really was a witch, couldn’t I have magic-ed my way out of here?” “You can’t just kill the things that frighten and confuse you!” “I’ll curse all of you in my dying breath.” “Even if no one else believes you, I always did.” “We can’t just exile ourselves. Where will we go?” “I didn’t want you to walk to the noose before I had a chance to say goodbye.”
