“And next time you're planning to injure yourself to get me attention, just remember that a little sweet talk works wonders.”

My preference is simple—you.”

these silent woods by kimi cunningham grant sentence starters
i told you to stay in the house.
you do not kill something just to kill.
it's a thing i don't like to think about.
i'm a little mad at you.
a poem would be a better way to say goodbye.
this is private property.
this is who you are now.
oh, good. you're awake.
i can't sleep. i just can't. i've been lying there awake, all night.
i know how much they meant to you.
that's just what they say so you can try and live with yourself.
before, i was always afraid.
it's the most beautiful thing i've ever seen in my whole life.
guess i don't have much choice in the matter.
i have one of those faces.
i need to know that when i tell you something, i can trust you to listen.
it's just sometimes i wonder what it'd be like. to be out there.
that's the nice thing about books. you can experience all different people and all sorts of places through them.
you and i both know how that'll go.
no deer's gonna come anywhere near us if you don't sit sill.
we'll make some hot chocolate.
i think we might be lost.
i hope you're wrong about that. i really do.
what do you know about raising kids anyway?
sorry about the gun. sorry for scaring you.
you can stay forever if you want.
i should've ended it a long time ago, but i didn't.
we disagreed regarding whether or not that garbage could be considered coffee.
my high school guidance counselor said i was a poor conversationalist.
is someone gonna miss you?
sorry. that was uncalled for.
this world, it'll tear the guts right out of you. as you well know. but this isn't all there is.
i wasn't invited. i didn't want to crash the party.
i don't know why i'm telling you all this. i guess there was no one else to tell.
you probably think i'm pathetic.
it sounds kind of lovely, actually.
i'm scared because you're scard.
i want to keep you safe. that's all.
why would you do that?
we're not going anywhere near that place.
you should be ashamed of yourself.
want me to stay? help you keep watch here?
you could go somewhere. move. start over.
i knew you'd come back.
how'd you know where to find me?

book meme : A MONSTER CALLS by PATRICK NESS.
a selection of lines from the novel a monster calls. modified slightly for rp purposes.
what happened in the nightmare is something no one else ever needs to know.
don't be stupid. you're too old for monsters.
shout all you want. i've seen worse.
you really aren't afraid, are you?
i'm sorry i wasn't up.
was that you i heard last night?
i thought i was dreaming but i could have sworn i heard your voice.
there's the smile i love.
i wish you didn't have to be quite so good.
don't think you haven't lived long enough to have a story to tell.
why did you butt in when it was none of your business?
i'm kind of used to it by now.
open up. i want to talk to you.
it is not what i want from you. it is what you want from me.
i am everything untamed and untameable.
i am this wild earth, come for you.
stories are the wildest things of all. stories chase and bite and hunt.
you know that your truth, the one that you hide, is the thing you are most afraid of.
we need to talk about what's going to happen.
nothing i do seems to make you frightened of me.
you thought i might have come to topple your enemies. slay your dragons.
you would not say that if you heard the screams of a man killed by a spear. or his cries of terror as he was torn to pieces by wolves.
i know injustice when i see it.
sometimes people need to lie to themselves most of all.
how long are you here for?
i'll come back, though.
i'm fine on my own.
you would give up everything you believed in?
that's quite a mess you made.
i know i must look a fright.
this is a talk, isn't it? everybody always wants to have a talk lately.
stories don't always have happy endings.
you still do not know why you called me, do you?
stories are important. they can be more important than anything. if they carry the truth.
i no longer see you.
there once was an invisible man who had grown tired of being unseen.
it was not that he was actually invisible. it was that people had become used to not seeing him.
if no one sees you, are you really there at all?
i will make them see me.
you think i'm ever going to be afraid of you?
what secrets do you hide that are so terrible?
there are harder things than being invisible.
i've never been more sorry about anything in my life.
i think, deep in your heart, you've always known. haven't you?
it's okay that you're angry.
i'm pretty angry myself.
i know everything you needed to tell me without you having to say it out loud.
i wish i had a hundred years. a hundred years i could give to you.
i did not come to heal them. i came to heal you.
it will kill you if you do not. you must say it.
a part of you wished it would just end. even if it meant losing them.
you were merely wishing for the end of pain. your own pain.
it is the most human wish of all.
you do not write your life with words. you write it with actions.

𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐀 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐐𝐔𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐎𝐍𝐄.
All sentences are taken from different books from Phillipa Gregory, specially her series about the historical fiction setting of the war of roses and the tudors era. Change names, locations, pronouns and nouns as you see fit for your own liking. Some of these have slight foul language or involve insuation of sexual situations. Please beware. This is part one.
You can smile when your heart is breaking because you're a woman.
If it means something, take it to heart. If it means nothing, it's nothing. Let it go.
I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't do anything but think about him.
At night I dream of him, all day I wait to see him, and when I do see him my heart turns over and I think I will faint with desire.
A man will always promise to do more than he can do to a woman he cannot understand.
I would know you anywhere for my true love. 
Whoever I was and whoever you were, I would know you at once for my true love.
When a woman thinks her husband is a fool, her marriage is over. 
The world hasn't changed that much; men still rule.
If you go on flirting with the king with those sickly little smiles, one of us Boleyns is going to scratch your eyes out
What a pair we shall be! What man can resist us?
You have to choose the best, every day, without compromise...guided by your own virtue and highest ambition.
I never thought it would end like this. I never thought he would leave me without saying goodbye.
But I don't forget and I don't forgive.
A woman has to change her nature if she is to be a wife.
To be a good wife is to be a woman with a will of iron that you yourself have forged into a bridle to curb your own abilities. 
But I am above these judgments, I am a Queen.
Anyone can attract a man. The trick is to keep him.
I was born to be your rival.
Know your rights.
When they see us dance. When they see how you look at me. When they see how I smile at you.
I have learned the power of surviving.
I was a woman who was capable of passion and who had a great need and a great desire for love.
Good god what men can do to their brains when their cocks are hard.
They are a house which has to have blood, and they will shed their own if they have no other enemy.
I want to take you for pleasure, and hold you in my arms for desire.
 I want you to know that it is your kiss that I want, not another heir to the throne.
You can know that I love you, quite for yourself, when I come to your bed, and not as the York’s broodmare.
You think to bed me for love and not for children? Isn’t that sin?
I shall make sure that it feels richly sinful.
Some women attract desire. Others do not.
Every woman has to have something which singles her out, which catches the eyes, which makes her the center of attention.
If it has to be done at all, it must be done with grace.
She  was speaking out for the women of the country, for the good wives who should not be put aside just because their husbands had taken a fancy to another.
Because all books are forbidden when a country turns to terror.
You can smile when your heart is breaking because you are a woman, and a courtier.
War does not answer war, war does not finish war. The only ending is peace.
To save my son, I would plot with the devil himself.
Yes, but either way, shamed or not, I shall be Queen of England, and this is the last time you will sit in my presence.
I am not a yard of ribbon. I am not a leg of ham. I am not for sale to anyone.
We have to be more royal than royalty itself or nobody will believe us.
I betrayed as a daughter will betray her mother and yet, never stop loving her.
I am an object of beauty. He has never loved me as a woman.
When a man wants a mystery, it is generally better to leave him mystified. Nobody loves a clever woman.
I wanted the heat and the sweat and the passion of a man that I could love and trust. 
And I wanted to give myself to him: not for advantage, but for desire.
I am a fool to own it, but I am in a fever for his touch.
It is luck to love someone who is free to love you in return.
Just decide that you are not going to be a fearful woman and when you come to something that makes you apprehensive, you face it and walk towards it
This was my destiny: to put my son on the throne of England.
This is a woman whose belly is filled with pride.
 She has been eating nothing but her own ambition for nearly thirty years.
Plainly, she is quite besotted by him,... a girl, a young girl, and she is falling in love for the first time in her life.
And – I think you know, don’t you? – that I love you, Anne.
And you are the sort of mistress a man doesn't bother to marry. Sons or no sons.
You don't need to struggle, your baby is coming.
You give birth, you don't force birth or besiege it. It's not a battle, it's an act of love. You give birth to your child and you can do it gently.
But young hearts mend easily.
Either you have me or not at all. Either you love me or not at all. Either I am all yours or I am nobody’s. I will have no half-measures with you.
Men die in battle; women die in childbirth.
 shall put a curse on their house that they will have no first born son to inherit. 
Have you ever wondered, Anne, in your untiring dance of seduction, whether you might not be dancing to Henry's tune instead of your own?
I am a Queen. It is natural that men are going to gather round me, hoping for a smile.
My honour and my pride are in my heart, and not in what the world says.
He is fragile, like a prince of ice, of glass.
But I warn you that a woman who seeks great power and wealth has to pay a great price.
Every woman is a mad ugly bad old witch somewhere in her heart.
My own mother told my lady governess that if the baby and I were in danger then they should save the baby.
She has a smile that grows slowly and then shines, like an angel’s smile.
Jane would be the next queen and her children, when she had them, would be the next princes or princesses.
I am mad for you.
You're not cursed daughter, you are the finest and rarest of all my children, the most beautiful, the most beloved.
One’s lover is one’s partner in observing and understanding the world.
Marriage is a place where joint narratives are composed. If the lover is a liar then all your joint observations are unreliable. 
If it was not in your interests to betray me then you would have been loyal.
I am marrying the finest man I have ever known.
You can have my glove, my favour.
Nobody gets to be Queen of England by being loveable. You will have to play your cards right.
Thomas More once told me: lion or king, never show fear or you are a dead man.
When I marry you, everything I have becomes yours.

↪    𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑺𝑷𝑰𝑫𝑬𝑹𝑾𝑰𝑪𝑲 𝑪𝑯𝑹𝑶𝑵𝑰𝑪𝑳𝑬𝑺  .    (  a  series  of  sentence  starters  from  the  2008  film  “ spiderwick ” .  adjust  phrasing  as  necessary .  )

[ name ] ,  don’t you wanna know where this thing goes ?
wow ,  that’s really  ...  impossible .
it’s late ,  just go to sleep .
wait ,  what did i say ?
i did my best ,  but YOU .  you kept looking and looking .
are you with them ,  or with me ?  whose side are you on ?
[ name ] ?   oh my god ,   oh my god -
i beg your forgiveness .
what do you want with me ?
it’s not what i want with you ,  it’s what i want from you .
i’m placing my trust in you .
if you fail ,  i’m afraid i’ll have to find someone else .

‘there’s no one else here, my friend. you don’t need to keep up this front.’
‘I thought you were dead. I thought I was dead. I thought I’d failed everyone, and I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t even fight back.’
‘you’re a good friend. probably the best one I’ve ever had. but if you tell anyone I cried, I’ll kill you.’
‘have you an actual plan or just wild fantasies that will end with our deaths?’

Stalking Jack the ripper book quote rp meme
Tumblr media
book series by Kerri Maniscalco - feel free to change or edit change pronouns for rp purposes
“Roses have both petals and thorns, my dark flower. You needn’t believe something weak because it appears delicate. Show the world your bravery.”
“I think you’ve broken one of my ribs. Was that really necessary? Next time you tackle me, be sure it’s in one of our bedchambers.”
“Everyone deserved to live freely and in honor of themselves. A basic right should not be a luxury.”
“She’s the muscle. I’m clearly the charm.”
“Curiosity was a disease that plagued me, and I'd yet to find a cure.”
“Hearts were beautifully fierce yet fragile things.”
“One fact was slowly taking shape: I was in jeopardy of admiring him against my better judgment.”
“If you can dream without limits, you can soar to great heights. Let the magic of your imagination set you free.”
“No matter how much death and horror existed, there were still things of beauty left to find.”
“You’re both so intelligent in matters involving the mind, but the heart? It’s as if beings from other galaxies are puzzling out fried potatoes.”
“Sometimes you need to stand out in order to blend in.”
“Life was beautiful even during the darkest hours.”
“Mistakes were a learning experience, not the end of the universe.”
“Monsters were supposed to be scary and ugly. They weren't supposed to hide behind friendly smiles and well-trimmed hair.”
“What is a man's soul made of that a woman's is not?”
“Diamonds were everything I hoped to be; beautiful, yet containing unimaginable strength.”
“The world is neither kind nor is it cruel. It simply exists. We have the ability to view it however we choose.”
“Our hearts are curious things. So sentimental and easily misguided. Pull the right strings or snap the correct cords, and poof!”
“Most stories are too good to be true. That's what makes them enchanting.”
“Magic is science. It’s simply a fancier term for showing people the impossible is attainable.”
“Let's play act a murder,”
“I’d like to see you carry on with a corset digging its bones into your rib cage, and manage a skirt still covering most of your breeches and whipping around your thighs in this wind.”
“Always foster and grow that unquenchable curiosity of yours."
“Perhaps you should comment on the excellent cut of my suit. I look rather handsome today as well. Don’t you think?”
“Pretend I am as capable as a man? Please, sir, do not value me so little!”
“Passion and annoyance were fire, and fire was alive and crackling with power.”
“I wondered how I could appear so whole and serene on the outside when inside I was thrashing with turbulence.”
“Do not turn your back on a love that could jump the barrier between life and death.”
How exceptionally wonderful for him. I wished them both a lifetime of misery with ill-mannered children. I swallowed my annoyance down and plastered on a smile. “
“Pretending a monster wasn't there didn't make it go away. It only made one vulnerable to its attack.”
“Let’s have some wine and dance inappropriately. You’ve already dressed the part for me—let’s take advantage.”
“For there are no limits to the stars; their numbers are infinite. Which is precisely why I measure my love for you by them. An amount too boundless to count.”
“Love strangles intelligence, even in the best of us.”
“Humans were the true monsters and villains, more real than any novel or fantasy could invent.”
“Monsters were in the eye of the beholder. And no one wanted to discover their hero was the true villain of the story.”
“I refuse to believe you've misinterpreted my affections. I am wholly in love with you. And it is permanent.”
“Monsters are only as real as the stories that grant them life. And they only live for as long as we tell those tales.”
“You are yours to give.”
“I’ve already fallen hard. Perhaps you should have warned me sooner.”
Most people ignore what’s right before their eyes. They believe they see, but oftentimes only view what they want
“Those who deserve respect are given it freely. If one must demand such a thing, he'll never truly command it.”
“There’s nothing better than a little danger dashed with some romance.”
“Fear is a hungry beast. The more you feed it, the more it grows.”
“I love you... More than all the stars in the universe. In this life and ever after. I love you.”
“Wield your assets like a blade. No man has invented a corset for our brains. Let them think they rule the world. It’s a queen who sits on that throne. Never forget that.”
“The dead speak to those who listen. Be quieter than even them.”
“Some ghosts should remain good and buried,”
“Seeing the truth was never easy, especially when it revealed those closest to us could be monsters hidden in plain sight.”
“People were always providing in death what they would not do in life, it seemed.”
“Someone screamed; perhaps it was me. Though it would have made me happier if it were him.”
“Death was not prejudiced by mortal things such as station or gender. It came for kings and queens and prostitutes alike, often leaving the living with regrets.”
So there will be no children or any beautiful paradise in our future. Most of the time I cannot even tolerate his presence. His arrogance is… I don’t know. Annoying.”
Your association with me is growing more beneficial by the hour. Your intelligence is quite… attractive,”
“Sit here and I’ll rock you gently until you or I or both fall asleep.”
“Why don’t you talk to me about what’s really troubling you? What emotional dilemma needs sorting out?”
No man has invented a corset for our brains. Let them think they rule the world. It’s a queen who sits on that throne. Never forget that. There’s no reason you can’t wear a simple frock to work, then don the finest gown and dance the night away. But only if it pleases you.”
“I needed no man to empower me. I had my father to thank for that much; his absence in most everyday things had prepared me well enough to stand on my own.”
“Whenever I scared him, he turned into some foreign person. One who was both frightening and frightened at once.”
“One needn’t be strong in only physical matters—a strong mind and will were fierce to behold as well. “
“Most people ignore what's right before their eyes. They believe they see, but oftentimes only view what they want.”
“If you wish to go, I’ll never make you stay. I might not do and say the proper thing all the time, but I do know that I love you enough to set you free.”
“We women could be called creatures, if only the men who said such careless words accepted our claws were fearsome things when we decided to scratch.”

book of night by holly black sentence starters
can i get you a drink?
how exactly is that my fault?
you really are as good as they say.
have you been paying attention to what i said at all?
and you're upsetting the cat.
stop being so fucking paranoid.
i'm not sure i miss it, but i feel like i should.
this is only thing you're good at.
what's the worst thing you've seen at that job of yours?
i didn't know you'd be so boring.
come a little closer.
is this what you thought you'd be doing with your life?
i don't want to go in there alone.
were they the first person you've killed?
what's in the past doesn't matter now.
are you going to tell me what happened?
i was furious and i haven't stopped being furious.
you and me, we're the same.
you almost got me killed last night.
flattery is so unlike you.
i hope you know you can trust me.
i didn't want you to see me the way i used to be.
you never loved me.
i wasn't the only one who lied.
i think i might be about to do something i'm going to regret.
clearly you don't know anything about me.
that can't be true.
and besides, i don't like you.
given your reputation, i am certain of your success.
no one deserves to die like that.
you hate me a little, don't you?
i can't walk away now, even if i wanted to. and i don't.
you can close your eyes if you want.
i didn't know you were ambidextrous.
i had nothing to do with that. any of it.
everyone thinks you were so great, but i'm better.
why do you sound so weird?
i wasn't going to tell anyone.
if you never deal with what happened, you'll never heal.
isn't who we are today what counts?
did you kill them?
i didn't do much talking, before. i don't think i'm very good at it.
you shouldn't have come back here.
i haven't been sleeping well. i have a lot of nightmares.
aim that gun somewhere else, or i'll hurt you and go on hurting you until there's nothing but pain.
i should have killed you when i had the chance.
don't try to implicate me in your crime.
your guilt is your own to wrestle with.
i should have said something, but i'm not a good person.
you're a person. you're my person.
i'll find a way for us to be together.
sometimes there are no good decisions.
you're making some very dangerous enemies.

𝐪𝐮𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞, 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐧𝐞: 𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧 part [one] two. from .. chapter 11 (the doom of innocence) - chapter 17 (therinsford)
taken from the book 'eragon', by christopher paolini. medieval fantasy setting. change tenses/pronouns as needed.
"Will you take me home?"
"Both of us carry an obligation to [Name]. He has cared for me and, through me, you. Would you ignore that debt?"
"What will be said of us in years to come if we don’t return—that we hid like cowards while others were in danger?"
��I was just about to send for you. He isn’t doing well. You should see him right away.”
"If there will be a fight, let’s face it and not shy away."
"Blood will meet blood. I will fight."
"Our wyrds—our fates—bind us, but try me not."
"I will take you because of debt owed, but into foolishness we fly."
"Sorrow breeds here."
"You would not be alive if we had stayed."
"Don’t say that. He can still be saved! We have to get him to the healer!"
"Find a safe place to rest. I don’t know how long I’ll be gone, so you’re going to have to take care of yourself for a while."
“I didn’t spend all this time sitting by your side so you can get back up and hurt yourself."
“I’ve tried everything: salves, poultices, tinctures, but nothing works."
"Your house didn’t just fall apart—something tore it to pieces."
"I don’t like this. Too much of this rings of wizardry."
"I tried to contact you many times, but you were beyond reach."
“I had hoped to call him Father one day…”
“What god would do this? Show yourself!”
"Love, family, accomplishments—they are all torn away, leaving nothing. What is the worth of anything we do?"
"Your worth halts when you surrender the will to change and experience life. But options are before you; choose one and dedicate yourself to it."
"The only true guide is your heart. Nothing less than its supreme desire can help you."
"It is our destiny to attempt the impossible, to accomplish great deeds regardless of fear. It is our responsibility to the future."
"Am I strong enough for this?"
"Too many questions from too many people. Sooner or later they’ll find the answers."
"I know where that mark on your hand, the Gedwëy Ignasia, the Shining Palm, comes from: you have touched a dragon hatchling."
“Certainly a worthy endeavor and one you are fit to carry out, yet it strikes me that help would not be unwelcome.”
“So… it starts again. But how and where will it end? My sight is veiled; I cannot tell if this be tragedy or farce, for the elements of both are here…”
“To put it bluntly, I’m a storyteller and I happen to think that you will make a fine story."
“Now, if you must know, anyone can learn how to speak to a dragon if they have the proper training."
"Dragons will constantly amaze you. Things… happen around them, mysterious things that are impossible anywhere else."
"Some say that even the dragons don’t know the full extent of their own powers. They are linked with this land in a way that lets them overcome great obstacles."
"There might be more of those creatures, but I’ve never heard of them. Perhaps they’re the last of a dying race. "
"You see, they are the king’s personal dragon hunters. A trail of death often follows them.”
"Don’t make the mistake of underestimating a Ra’zac, for they are cunning and full of guile.”
"You have had a hard time and done much. I’m impressed."
"It’s a mistake that I deeply regret, and one that has cost you dearly.”
I have played many roles to different people— I’ve a complicated past. It was partly through a desire to escape it that I came here."
"Do not scorn those words— they are the truest I’ve ever spoken."
"At this point you don’t need to hear my history, nor have you yet earned that right."
"Before you set out on this venture, remember that your enemies are the king’s servants. They will be protected wherever they go. Laws do not stop them."
"You must be very careful, as you may easily turn from the hunter into the hunted.”
“So what exactly can dragons do? You said that you knew something of their abilities.”
“You see, when a dragon lays an egg, the infant inside is ready to hatch. But it waits, sometimes for years, for the right circumstances... or until the person destined to be its Rider comes into their presence."
“I don’t want to keep you ignorant, far from it, but certain knowledge would only prove dangerous and distracting for you right now."
"I only wish to protect you from those who would use you for evil.”
“You know what? I think you just enjoy speaking in riddles."
“Oh? A real enemy wouldn’t soften his blows, and neither will I. Now, defend yourself!”
"Should I pander to your… incompetence so you’ll feel better? I don’t think so.”
“It’s considered bad manners to interfere with another’s dragon.”
"You can’t argue with all of the fools in the world. It’s easier to let them have their way, then trick them when they’re not paying attention.”

book meme : WHAT MOVES THE DEAD by T. KINGFISHER.
a selection of lines from the novel what moves the dead. modified slightly for rp purposes.
i'm delighted by obscure passions, no matter how unusual.
it's cold and poor and if you don't die from falling in a hole or starving to death, a wolf eats you.
god, but it was a depressing scene.
i am, for the most part, not an imaginative soul.
he was the gentlest of souls, though he did collect rather odd things.
i swear to you, if i had not heard his voice, i would not have recognized him.
you look like you've been dragged arse-first through hell.
you have grown into an outrageous liar.
in some ways, it's rather refreshing to be treated in the same way as a fungus.
i will tell you, this is a recent dissolution.
i think it might be enough to make anyone ill.
i do not know how to deal with this sort of death, the one that comes slow and inevitable and does not let go.
death that simply comes and settles is not a thing i have any experience with.
i knew most of them would die anyway, but if they died in front of me, it felt worse.
we were friends once. i hope we still are.
i hear things now. everything. my own heartbeat. other people's breathing sounds like thunder.
sometimes i fancy i can hear the worms in the rafters.
but this place has made me afraid.
you don't pull punches in the morning, do you?
what sins could you possibly have?
you know i'm not a superstitious soul but i swear there's something wicked here.
they say mushrooms spring up where the devil walks and where the fairies dance.
perhaps they believe that the fungus is part of them.
it's in god's hands, not mine. perhaps not even his.
are you a witch, then?
don't listen to him. the dead carry lanterns down in the deep.
this place breeds nightmares.
he complains of nightmares. says the walls breathe them out.
i begin to think that this place has killed all of us, in its time.
most of us go to the devil without him having to personally oversee things.
the dead don't walk. you of all people know that.
really, what good would it do? have you not seen enough bodies in your time? maybe it helps other people, but it's just one more face to haunt your dreams.
headache is always preferable to heartache.
perhaps this miserable place has weighed down my spirit and left me vulnerable.
they don't fear ghosts where you come from?
i don't believe the dead actually care about those things.
[name], i have come to think of you as a sensible person, but there is something quite unsavory about all this.
you don't believe in possession, of course.
the dead may walk but i will not walk among them.
this thing, whatever it is, it's what's killing you. devouring you alive.
i've been dead for at least a month.
i could never help anything that killed you.
i know exactly where i would place the match.

* A FABLE OF GODS: ARIA OF THE ACCURSED (NOVEL) PART TWO.
feel free to change pronouns, wording, etc. as needed! spoilers ahead.
“ And how many times have you miscalculated before?”
“ It was my fault.”
“ You're not allowed inside.”
“ And [name], I expected better of you.”
“ What's that supposed to mean?”
“ I don't appreciate you lying to us.”
“ You just made a big mistake.”
“ He's not worth it.”
“ Listen to me.”
“ We won't be able to [___] if we're arrested.”
“ We'll go figure something else out, okay?”
“ Next time, maybe lead with that.”
“ Calm down.”
“ I have another idea to get us inside.”
“ What's the point?”
“ Do you really believe that?”
“ Then trust me.”
“ So, what are we doing here?”
“ You're breaking the law?!”
“ You will find that some things are worth breaking the law for.”
“ Then shut up and follow me.”
“ What's done is done, and it's on me and me alone.”
“ You did nothing, so you have nothing to worry about.”
“ And you think anyone else will believe that if they find out?”
“ Fine. But when I end up in prison, just remember, I told you it would happen.”
“ Whatever. Now be quiet.”
“ Just follow my lead and act normal.”
“ Do you even know what you're doing?”
“ I have been here before many times, so I know how the place operates.”
“ You've done this before?”
“ Of course you would've been invited.”
“ Speak of the sun and it shall shine.”
“ As it happens, we have something urgent we need to discuss with you.”
“ How did you know?”
“ You expect me to believe no one told you before today?”
“ I don't expect you to believe anything.”
“ As you can imagine, no one else wished to end up with the same reputation as you.”
“ What matters is this; you have my attention. What will you do with it?”
“ I... had to use Arcaion to get out of the situation unharmed.”
“ If it happened like you said, you made the right decision.”
“ I will not fault you for it, nor punish you.”
“ I know. Poor choice of words. I apologize.”
“ If we want to survive this, our only option is to relocate.”
“ I hope your stay here has been satisfactory.”
“ When you spend most of your time at sea among friends, it is easy to forget how to behave in public spaces.”
“ You sure? It didn’t sound fine.”
“ You haven’t finally lost it, have you? Not that I’d blame you.”
“ No, no! I promise I haven’t lost my marbles just yet.”
“ You just let them leave?”
“ Whoa… That’s a huge tip.”
“ Either way, it’s not like you can give it back to him now that he’s gone. You should take it.”
“ I can’t just take it! What if they come back and ask for it?”
“ Then I’ll pay it back for you.”
“ That’s… that’s very sweet of you, but I can’t let you do that.”
“ I know the kind of pay we receive here, and let’s be honest, it’s not a lot.”
“ Maybe I have a second job that pays better.”
“ Take it. I won’t tell anyone.”
“ I… I truly don’t deserve your kindness.”
“ I don’t know, but it must be something big, because no one’s supposed to know about it yet.”
“ Wait. Then how do you know?”
“ I have my ways.”
“ One day you’re going to have to tell me, you know.”
“ Great work? That’s all you have to say?”
“ Surely you haven’t forgotten how stressful it was to practice for the Signía?”
“ Today was a blessing, but… It was just luck.”
“ We keep practically starving ourselves and working ourselves to death.”
“ We can’t keep living like this, you know?”
“ What if we moved?”
“ I don’t… I mean, we can barely afford to live, and you want to move?”
“ Arcaion is legal there.”
“ There’s a reason Arcaion is only permitted in certain circumstances, you know this.”
“ Perhaps Arcaion is not as bad as they make it out to be.”
“ Why do we keep living here and struggle every day, when we could have a much better life elsewhere?”
“ There has to be other options.”
“ Then what do you suggest?”
“ There is someone there. A man who provides payment in exchange for information.”
“ What kind of information?”
“ It pays well.”
“ You’re right. I’m sorry…”
