ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE (2001)
SENTENCE STARTERS PULLED FROM THE DIALOGUE FEATURED IN THE ANIMATED FILM ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE, with some quotations slightly modified for roleplay purposes.
CHANGE gendered words and in-universe phrases as needed.
SPECIFY muse for multimuses.
“ Uh, would you gentlemen please excuse me for a moment? ”
“ If I ever hear the word "Atlantis" again, I'll step in front of a bus! ”
“ You have a lot of potential. ”
“ Who... who are you? How did you get in here? ”
“ I'm acting on behalf of my employer, who has a most intriguing proposition for you. ”
“ Relax. He doesn’t bite … often. ”
“ Did you really know my grandfather? ”
“ We stayed close friends ‘till the end of his days. ”
“ He spoke of you often. ”
“ I've spent my whole life studying dead languages. ”
“ I will stake everything I own, everything that I believe in... that this is the genuine Shepherd's Journal. ”
“ I'll show them! I will make them believe. ”
“ For years your granddad bent my ear with stories about that old book. ”
“ Your grandpa was a great man. You probably don't realize how great. ”
“ Don't let her age fool you. ”
“ Our lives are remembered by the gifts we leave our children. ”
“ Atlantis is waiting. What do you say? ”
“ Boy, I’m so excited, l-l-l-I can't even hold it in. ”
“ Excuse me? I need to, uh, report in? ”
“ Blondie, I got a bone to pick with you. ”
“ If you're lookin' for the pony rides, they're back there. ”
“ You can’t put a price on the pursuit of knowledge. ”
“ This should be enriching for all of us. ”
“ Now tell me your story, my little friend. ”
“ This is an outrage! You must leave at once! Out, out, out, out, out! ”
“ Now, what have I told you about playing nice with the other kids? ”
“ Back to the pit from which you came! ”
“ OK, everybody. I want you to give Mr. Thatch your undivided attention. ”
“ Cartographer, linguist, plumber. Hard to believe he's still single. ”
“ Captain, you'd better come look at this, sir. ”
“ Do you want to do my job? Be my guest. ”
“ How much time do we have? ”
“ I don't think he's comin' back. ”
“ Move it, people! Sometime today would be nice! ”
“ I won't sugar-coat it, gentlemen. We have a crisis on our hands. ”
“ Looks like all our chances for survival rest with you, Mr. Thatch. ”
“ We’re all gonna die. ”
“ Looks like we have a little roadblock. ”
“ That thing is going to keep me up all night, I know it. ”
“ You know, we've been pretty tough on the kid. What do you say we cut him some slack? ”
“ Hey, Milo! Why don't you come sit with us? ”
“ Hey, Milo, don't you ever close that book? ”
“ I know, I know. Sometimes I get a little carried away. ”
“ You know, that's what this is all about, right? I mean – discovery, teamwork, adventure. Unless, maybe, you're just in it for the money. ”
“ Hey, how’d you learn how to do that? ”
“ I never got to meet your grandfather. What was he like? ”
“ He was like a father to me, really. ”
“ My parents died when I was a little kid, and he took me in. ”
“ That is so cute! ”
“ Uh, no... no offense.. but how does a teenager become the chief mechanic of a multimillion dollar expedition? ”
“ So, what... what happened to your sister? ”
“ I just like to blow things up. ”
“ All right, who's not dead? Sound off. ”
“ Maybe that's our ticket outta here. ”
“ I gotta hand it to you. You really came through. ”
“ They can smell fear just by looking at ya. ”
“ We are explorers from the surface world. We come in peace. ”
“ Come. You must speak with my father now. ”
“ Someone's having a good time. ”
“ Commander, there were not supposed to be people down here. This changes everything. ”
“ This changes nothing. ”
“ You presume much to think that you would be welcome here. ”
“ I know what you seek and you will not find it here. ”
“ Your journey has been in vain. ”
“ May I respectfully request that we stay one night, sir? ”
“ Your heart has softened, Kida. ”
“ A thousand years ago, you would have slain them on sight. ”
“ We were once a great people. Now we live in ruins. ”
“ The kings of our past would weep if they could see how far we have fallen. ”
“ Our way of life is dying. ”
“ When you take the throne, you will understand. ”
“ Well, the King and his daughter don't exactly see eye to eye. ”
“ Well, if he's hiding something, I want to know what it is. ”
“ Look, I have some questions for you, and I'm not leaving this city until they're answered! ”
“ Oh, there is so much to ask about your world. ”
“ You are a scholar, are you not? ”
“ I got a few questions for you, too. So let's do this, OK? You ask one, then I'll ask one, then you, then me, then...well, you get it. ”
“ how did you get here? Well, I mean, not you personally... but your... your culture. I mean, how did all of this end up down here? ”
“ Wh... what... what … are you telling me… that you remember what happened because you were there? No, that... that's impossible... ”
“ How was my accent? ”
“ You know, you deserve credit for even... even gettin' this far. ”
“ By the way, we were never properly introduced. My name's Milo. ”
“ Uh, hey, you got a nickname? ”
“ You know, my grandpa used to tell me stories about this place as far back as I can remember. ”
“ I just wish that he could be standing here with me. ”
“ We are not thriving. True, our people live. but our culture is dying. ”
“ I wish there was something I could do. ”
“ Why don't you lead the way, because I have no idea where we're going. ”
“ This is amazing! A complete history of Atlantis! ”
“ I am such an idiot. ”
“ This is just another treasure hunt for you. ”
“ I would've told you sooner, but it was strictly on a need-to-know basis. ”
“ Welcome to the club, son. ”
“ Mercenary? I prefer the term "adventure capitalist." ”
“ You don't know what you're tampering with, Rourke. ”
“ Academics. You never want to get your hands dirty. ”
“ I got to admit, I'm disappointed. ”
“ You're an idealist, just like your grandfather. ”
“ For once, do the smart thing. ”
“ I really hate it when negotiations go sour. ”
“ Well, as usual, diplomacy has failed us. ”
“ You've got to listen to me. You don't have the slightest idea what this power is capable of. ”
“ Let’s get this over with. I don’t like this place.
“ Doesn’t anything surprise you? ”
“ Talk to me, Thatch. What's happening? ”
“ So I guess this is how it ends, huh? ”
“ You've read Darwin. It's called natural selection. We're just helping it along. ”
“ Be serious. This is wrong, and you know it. ”
“ You pick now of all times to grow a conscience? ”
“ She has been chosen... like her mother before her. ”
“ I followed you in, and I'll follow you out. ”
“ it's been my experience that when you hit bottom, the only place left to go is up. ”
“ What do you think that you are doing? ”
“ We're going to save Atlantis, or we're going to die trying. ”
“ Well, I have to hand it to you. You're a bigger pain in the neck than I would have ever thought possible. ”
“ Tired? Aw, that's a darn shame, because I'm just getting warmed up. ”
“ There's a hero's welcome waiting for the man who discovered Atlantis. ”
“ I don't think the world needs another hero. ”
“ I'm going to miss that boy. At least he's in a better place now. ”

1 - Welcoming the Bridgerton’s
Part 2
The Venus Muse
Here's the first chapter y'all! I am sorry to say that I couldn't tag some of you that asked to be added. If you could give me an update profile tag I will add you that way.
Buckingham Palace was always busy with something going on. The royal castle had many children over the years running around it. I knew this place better than anyone else could imagine. And that truth will help me change my life forever.
“Your highness, which tiara would you wish for today?” One of my handmaidens named Sunset asked me.
She was standing by my table vanity that had quite a few tiaras sitting on top of them. Sitting on my bed the fabric of my golden dress swayed when I walked up to her. “The one with three center jewels and the pearl necklace.”
“Of course, my lady.” She nodded where I lowered my head and she set the tiara in the center.
The tiara sparkled when the light bounced off the light coming through the window. I stood in front of the tall mirror eyeing my gown that was golden, short sleeves decorated in lace and was long where you couldn’t see the short brown boots I wore unless my dress flew up from the wind. “Sunset, do you think my mother shall begin pressuring me this year?”
“It is not my place to speak on.”
I reassured her otherwise. “Don’t worry about prying ears. I am asking for your opinion.”
“I would say she seeks what is best for you, Lady Y/n.” Sunset answered with a shrug of her shoulders.
Someone knocked on the outside of my door before another lady in waiting peaked her head inside. “Princess, your mother is coming this direction.” I nodded brushing my hands down the front of my dress.
The door of my bedroom opened for me to see my mother, Lady Danbury and Brimsley all walking up to my room. “I yearn for someone fresh, someone unexpected, to turn this season on its head. That is what we need. There is no room for indifference. Apathy is a blight the monarchy simply cannot endure.”
“Of course, Your Majesty. But remember, a young lady cannot be a diamond until you anoint her as such. So if for any reason you do not find one among the candidates today…”
My mother cut off her friend. “Do you think she will return? We have heard nary a peep from Lady Whistledown since last season ended. Perhaps the writer came to her senses. Perhaps she realized taking on her queen was a bad idea, and she will never publish again.”
Lady Danbury responded. “It is a convincing theory, ma'am.”
“Or she simply left for the country, as the rest of us did in the off-season, bored by the lack of any real gossip.”
Lady Danbury made a noise. “Hmm. “
“You do know what that would make her, then?” My mother Queen Charlotte trailed off.
I finished her sentence being fair too noisy, needing to listen to the conversation of the famous gossiping writer. “One of us.”
“My darling daughter, you look radiant as ever.” My mother turned away from her friend to face me.
I sent her a smile waving to Lady Danbury to not be rude. “It’s good to see you, Lady Danbury.”
“Good to see you too, Princess Y/n.” She smiled.
My mother clasped her hands together in front of her puffy white dress. “I have been needing to speak with you and what this evening needs to entail for you and your happiness.”
“You wish for me to marry a prince and provide heirs for the crown.” I rolled my eyes already thinking of the answer she would say.
Yet to my surprise she said almost the opposite. “I wish for you to have happiness and many children. It would help if your husband was royalty, but it is not a requirement.”
“It isn’t?” Knitting my brows in confusion.
She takes my hands in hers. “I didn’t get the chance to search for love on my own. My brother arranged my marriage with your father. So I secretly hope that you, my firstborn daughter, can have some fun.”
“Mother, I…that means so much to me.” I smiled through some happy tears.
Footsteps came down the long hallway and around the corner before we saw my father’s servant named Reynolds. “My Queen, my princess. I have news.” He bowed with a hand behind his back.
“What is it, Reynolds?” I asked him.
He shifted his gaze to mine. “You're father is having an episode, Princess.”
“Oh…” I made a noise in discomfort. I knew of his illness
That was the secret my mother and the rest of my siblings and I kept hidden from thr world. They needed to believe that the king was just always busy and so his wide made the appearances out on the town. “Hmm it appears we may have to cancel the ball tonight for the Bridgertons.” My mother sighed in defeat knowing her husband came first.
“We shall not cancel.” My mother and Reynolds’s both shifted their attention over to me when I had spoken up the opposite of what they assumed would need to be done. “We should not cancel because I can represent the family in your place, mother.”
She tapped her chin in thought. “I suppose that could solve our problem. I don't wish to cancel the months of preparation that were put into this.”
“Exactly that would be a tragedy.”
The queen turned to her husband's helper with instructions. “Inform my husband I will come to his aid. Brimsley?”
“Yes, your Majesty.”
She gave him a different set of orders. “Inform the Viscount Bridgerton that my daughter shall be appearing tonight before myself.” He bowed and went in a different direction then Reynolds.
“Thank you, mother.” I smiled curtseying to her before we parted for the evening. It was quite a few hours before the ball with our castle subjects and the Bridgertons would even begin. By the evening the moon was shining up in the sky and the grand ballroom was lit up like a christmas tree.
Standing silently outside the currently shut double doors I stopped fiddling with my dress when one of the royal guards gave me a head nod saying it was time. I could hear the announcer's voice before the doors had even begun opening. “May I present to you her royal highness. The daughter of King George and Queen Charlotte, Princess Y.n of England.”
“Thank you, sir.” I whispered to another guard that came to me when I had made my entrance through the doors feeling all eyes on me. Sucking in a tiny breath he escorted me to the small throne before we unlinked arms leaving me on my own. The small crown on my head had never felt so heavy as it did right now. “Greetings my subjects. I am here to announce that my mother got called away tonight for an emergency. But she saw no reason why this event couldn’t go on as planned. So with that in mind let me extend a warm welcome to Violet Bridgerton and her family for traveling here for a few months.”
Everyone began clapping and cheering with an older looking woman who had dark brown hair up in a crown on her head that came up to me and gave a lovely curtsey. “Princess, it is a pleasure to get an invitation.”
“I hope I can get to meet your family greatly over your stay, Lady Bridgerton.”
“Princess Y/n, may I ask you something?” Someone called my name causing me to lift my gaze up noticing someone moving through the crowd. The figure paused beside the Bridgerton woman who seemed to give the man a confused but amused depression on her face.
I clicked my tongue and answered the stranger's question. “What is your question, my lord?”
“I was wondering if you would accept my offer for a dance together this evening.” The stranger seemed similar to the woman he was standing beside him. I was fairly certain they were related, but which son was he if they were.
He extended his hand up to me and I smiled, placing my smaller hand in his larger one. “I accept so long as I know which Bridgerton are you?”
“Benedict, Benedict Bridgerton.” He replied leading me out and onto the dance floor with the entire room having theur eyes focused on the two of us.
