MISC SENTENCE STARTERS WITH A DASH OF ANGST

❝ i can't even say he deceived me. i knew exactly what he was and i jumped in anyway. ❞

❝ i think eventually i got so used to the chaos and the pain and the toxicity i began to look for it. ❞

❝ i never got a chance to discover myself. i never had that privilege. ❞

❝ you can tell me anything. i mean i can't promise i'm good at keeping secrets, but i'm a hell of a listener. ❞

❝ no one wants to yearn anymore. ❞

❝ i'm doing some of my best work here and you don't even have the decency to roll your eyes at me. honestly it's hurtful. ❞

❝ i know what you're thinking. ❞

❝ if i ask for your help are you gonna make a big deal out of it? ❞

❝ can we just be normal for like two seconds for once. ❞

❝ i would say i don't know what's wrong with you but i actually do and that's the problem. ❞

❝ against my better judgement i trust you and i think that says a lot about the state of the world right now. ❞

❝ i don't actually care but i'm bored so i'm here. ❞

❝ last time i listened to you we almost died. ❞

❝ i would've come sooner. i would've been here if you'd only asked. ❞

❝ i don't want to hurt anymore. ❞

❝ you don't have to hurt anymore. you can let go of those burdens. ❞

❝ it'd be a lot easier if i actually cared as little as i pretend to. ❞

❝ i do need you. i wouldn't be here if i didn't. ❞

❝ sometimes you don't know it's wrong until it's too late. sometimes you don't know you're being hurt until you realize you're in pieces. ❞

❝ pretending you don't need people doesn't make you strong it just makes you a jackass. ❞

❝ you're gonna be okay. eventually. but first you gotta not be okay for a while. it's gotta suck so you can actually recognize when you're alright again. ❞

❝ you shouldn't have said that. ❞

❝ sometimes i wish they had done something worse. then it'd justify how hard it's been to get over it. ❞

❝ i wish you actually understood me. ❞

He had bounced back over to her, albeit with noticeable difficulty and crouched down beside her again. " Ah nope you're definitely a bug. A crazy powerful bug but still a bug, " he remarked sounding very disappointed. " So...we gonna fight some more? Eh? "

Alice got a very rude and hard series of pokes against her shoulder. " Hey what's the matter? Your nose is leaking. Gross. Stop doing that! " he demanded cheerfully. He was one to talk, with his weird shimmery blue blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and his nose and the majority of his own body. " I wanna fight not watch you leak all over the place! Pffft. "

Man, this was getting a bit boring and admittedly, his euphoric high of earlier was starting to come down. Also he didn't understand why this bug didn't just shut off all her pain and get up and get back to kicking his ass. He'd seen bugs do that hundreds of times: going far beyond their injuries or strength to rescue other bugs or grasping onto their life with steel determination even as it faded away. So wasn't that a thing they could do whenever they felt like it? It was actually sort of amazing. Although hell if he'd tell them that.

"!!!!" That buzz in Alice's head was so strong she did a full body shiver. Instead of trying to focus and sense where it was coming from, she just frantically used her eyes. This entity had to be extremely powerful. Even sensing would take too long before she needed to run.

In a fourth of a second, she saw a blue entity with black wings, covered in blood.

Oh FUCK no!!!!

She was running away, or at least make a head start before she had to defend herself.

Joni smiles again and practically dives into his arms. " I missed you too," she said, her voice just a bit quieter for a moment as she wrapped her arms around him. It was like being enveloped in a towel fresh out the dryer; warmth and security, a definite bit of whatever sunshiney energy she possessed as well as genuine pure affection. Even when she released him, the sensation remained.

" Oop. Let's get across the road quick! " she exclaimed, clutching her sketchbook and pencils to herself. She patted his shoulder and took hold of his hand, leading them across.

***

It wasn’t long before they had arrived, a little jaunt down a back alley opened up to a cozy looking little building, tucked away under the shelter of some beautiful old trees. The little sign on the door read " Kāixīn Kafe "

" This is it, " Joni said as she sat down on one of the little seats along the promenade. " We're a few minutes early but they'll open up before long. Oh wait 'till you see inside it's so pretty. "

To think that of all the places in the world, here would be where Joni would run back into Arthur again! The joy just bubbled up inside of her and along with that she realized how much in fact she'd deeply missed him! She'd admittedly been a mess during the last several months before leaving college and looking back gave her a twinge of regret. She'd just...withdrawn from everything and everyone including Arthur. Like a lonely turtle hiding in her shell.

But that. That was done, over and in the past. She was brighter and stronger now. This was a new life, a new chance to reconnect and rebuild! Oh there was a lot to talk about, where to start? " Yeah! Eheh. Thanks! Gosh I've been back let's see it's been...wait a minute..." She glanced over at the walkway light, appeared to think for a minute or two then patted the side of her head lightly, laughed and said, " I'm goofy! " She hit the switch. " Pffft, no wonder it wasn't changing. Arthur, Arthur. I'm on my way to a nice place for lunch! Are you doing anything? I mean it's ok if you are! But if you aren't, if you haven't eaten yet, would you like to come with me? It's just down the sidewalk behind the building there..."

[voices-of-ether]

Angel had opened his mouth to make a snarky reply when to his surprise he was actually hit with the force of his own angelic powers and what a hit it was! It was powerful enough to slam him right squarely into the nearest lamp post, actually bending it and making the light explode in a sudden violent pop. And for a weird moment there, as the sparks rained down partially illuminating his prone form, it looked like his entire body had gone a bit...well fractal was probably the best human way to explain it. Multiple wings, eyes, limbs blossoming and retracting all at the same moment, a general blurring of typically time-constrained boundaries that sort of thing...at any rate it was pretty trippy to look at. If it didn't make you downright nauseated.

But it only lasted a moment and then with the abruptness of a rubber band snapping back into place, so did Angel now looking decidedly more ragged than before.

And he laughed suddenly. Like a gleeful kid.

" AhahHAH! Ds as ar? G t blans a ugear c Ascha? Wait no...I forget...bugs don't talk...enochian...owwww fucking shit this pain is...amazing!!! " he gasped out as he slowly pulled himself up against the lamp post. " You damn near...Unmade me! AHAHA! "

The goggles over his eyes made it decidedly hard to tell but there seemed to be a general air of him narrowing his eyes suddenly as a shrewd grin crossing his mouth. He spat out blood that gleamed blue. " Or...are you in a...bug disguise too? They finally...come to tell me...I can say bye to this...part of the big boring...dirtball? "

30 Scenario Starters: Your Muse Finds Mine Crying

"Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry about what I said."

"I didn't mean to hurt you."

"What's wrong?"

"Quit crying about it, you baby!"

"Please don't be upset."

"Did someone hurt you?"

"Take a deep breath. It's going to be fine."

"Are you crying?"

"Don't try to hide it. I can see you're upset."

"It's okay to cry. Let it all out."

"I didn't know you were so upset about this."

"I'm here for you."

"You know you can talk to me. What happened?"

"Everything will be okay."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Don't be ashamed of your feelings. There is no shame in showing emotions."

"What are you crying about?"

"Sshh..it's okay."

"Would you like a tissue?"

"You're not alone. I'm here to support you."

"Would a hug help?"

"I understand what you're going through."

"I know it hurts, but you're stronger than this."

"Stop being a crybaby!"

"Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?"

"Please, talk to me."

"This is all my fault. I'm sorry."

"It hurts to see you like this. Please don't cry."

"What's with you all of a sudden?"

Deeply Exhausted Starters

"You can barely stand, you need to lie down."

"When's the last time you slept?"

"You're not fooling me, I can see the bags under your eyes."

"Rest is not optional!"

"You promised you wouldn't stay up all night reading."

"I'm just - exhausted - I'm sorry -"

"I can't remember the last time I slept."

"I just want to rest for a bit."

"I'm so tired, I can't think."

"I'm trying, I am, I just... I just wanna lay down..."

"No, I'm not tired. Leave me alone."

"It doesn't matter, I can't sleep anyway."

"Leave me alone, I'm an adult, I choose when I go to bed."

"Oh, like you're any better?"

"I'm not even that.. that tired, I'm... mm, I'm fine."

But if you aren't, if you haven't eaten yet, would you like to come with me? It's just down the sidewalk behind the building there..."

If it had been anyone else saying her name, Joni would have most likely missed it entirely. But something in that soft gentle tone reacted in the back of her mind as surely as if Artair had physically reached out and tapped her on the shoulder. She blinked, turned in curiosity and laid eyes on Artair.

The surprise and delight radiated from her like sun bursting out from behind a cloud and the notebook and pencils clattered on the sidewalk as her hands immediately clenched together and did an excited little wiggle.

" Oh! Oh-oh! Arthur?!?! " she squeaked. " Wow! You're here? And I'm here! We're right here, both of us! It's been uhm-uhm..oh no wait! " She glanced down. " Oh drat...hold on... "

Joni crouched and gathered up her pencils and sketchbook hastily before bouncing back up again. " Sorry sorry but...Arthur!!! Hi!!! Hello!!! You're here? Oh! Oh, that's great! Wow I was just here standing here waiting for the walk signal...I dunno why it's taking so long though? But oh hecky...look at you!! Your hair's so long! It looks really good! " She beamed at him as she rocked back and forth in her sandals.

As Bast ran out ahead of him, Mick placed his hands flat on the ground, preparing to sprint out after her. The fingers of his left hand dug deeply into the dry earth and he drew in a deep breath.

...Oh let me be free, Mick, let me run loose, let me slaughter, let me devour...listen, oh listen to the screams, their pain, their fear it's so *delicioussssss*...

He could feel her in his mind, pacing back and forth, claws digging deeper and deeper, pressing against the barriers of his mortal vessel to the point it was becoming nearly unbearable. She wanted out. She hungered.

...Shut up...shut UP...not now...

His lips thinned and he darted out after Bast. Whatever was watching them (and he had felt it too through this surreal hellscape they were navigating) he prayed to all the gods that they would continue to evade its baleful gaze.

"Shh, shh." Magic tingled in the air and whether the other could avoid it, their words were muted. "Stay down and follow my footsteps exactly."

[voices-of-ether]

Angel barked out a laugh as he tipped his head trying to get a better look in her face.

" What you're just gonna flop on the ground? How boring! " he cackled. " You could at least try running more or putting up a fight like most bugs do. C'mon give me a little more fun than this, redbug! "

Still grinning that very unsettling grin, he bounced on his legs a little, waiting for her reply. " Hellooooo? You're not one of those bugs that can't hear, are you? "

" Alright, " Aurilio replied. His eyes darted down to the treats again and his lips pressed together as he tugged on the edges of his jean jacket. He still clearly wanted them and was trying desperately to pretend he didn't.

" I'll be by there uh...tomorrow? In the evening, " he replied. An awkward pause grew between them until he added, " Uhm. Thank you. " and gave Koga a quick nod.

Aurilio tilted his head thoughtfully as he considered the offer. It didn't sound too shady to be honest. But then again there were mafia members who ran restaurants as a front for drug smuggling and all kinds of shit.

" I can...yeah I can do things like mop and clean and wash dishes, " he answered after a moment. " And uhm. Mind my own business if I need to. " He put a bit of emphasis on that last bit. " I don't have a resume handy but I could uh. Put one together over at the library? "

He rubbed the back of his neck and looked down at himself, his face darkening with embarrasment. " I'm kinda not...presentable at the moment. But-but. I can find a way around that. " Maybe duck into the local shelter for a quick clean up, scrape together some quarters to pay a visit to the local laundromat or something. He'd figure it out.

" Where would I need to go? And what time? "

A midday breeze with just the slightest hint of fall crispness skittered down the sidewalk alongside Joni Kameāloha as she walked along. One arm, jangling with copper bangles, swung her little clutch back and forth cheerfully, the other had a sketchbook and pencil bag tucked away underneath it. Under a headkerchief with little embroidered sunflowers, her long curly sunset-hued hair was done up in a loose messy bun at the nape of her neck. Dressed in a vest, capris, blouse and her favorite kitschy silk tie hanging loose around her neck, just looking and feeling cute buoyed up an already great mood!

The breeze teasing cooler weather after a long humid summer and the mild sunshine was so nice after working all morning in the stuffy back room of the thrift store. She stopped at the crossing and waited, rocking back and forth on her sandaled feet with a dreamy happy look on her face. Though folding and sorting vintage clothes could be tedious, she also enjoyed it because the repetitive motion allowed her mind to go off to its happy place, spinning our story ideas. When Laila had shooed her off for her lunch break she'd already been piecing together an intricate plot and now went back to it as she waited for the crossing light to change.

Unfortunately the trouble with creating adventures in your head, it also didn't lend it well to being very aware of your surroundings. If it had Joni well, probably would have realized that she'd forgotten to press the crossing light button and that it was maybe a little odd that it was taking so long to change. Oh well. At any rate she was very happy standing there at the sidewalk caught up in the stories bubbling through her head.

[voices-of-ether]

Angel honestly was having a *great* evening. Absolutely fantastic!

For the past several months he'd been getting more and more antsy about being stuck in this plane of existence, being 'between jobs' so to speak. Normally he was in and out within a matter of days, and being THIS long around humans...ugh!!! Being forced into a corporeal form for very long was one of the bad things about being an entity like himself, after a while it started feeling like dirty clothes.

So feeling itchy and ill at ease in his human suit, he'd hit up a place that these bugs called a underground fight club, a grubby place full of delicious dark bloodthirsty vibes. And it had delivered. Granted he couldn't Reap the soul of any bug that wasn't specific orders handed down from the higher ups. But as a former angel of War he could freely inflict pain to the point it would certainly make them wish they were dead.

And all that pain and blood had the same effect on an angel of his sort as would a drinking marathon with hard liquor. He felt recklessly *wonderful* Euphoric, even.

So when this odd little redhead bug crossed his path, radiating curiously tinged vibes of fear well, she might as well have been a lazer pointer and he a very excitable cat!

" Hey HEY where do you think you're going!! " he shouted gleefully. He leaped into the air and zigzagged after her. " What's the matter? Do I look scaaaaarrry? Hahahaa!!! Hey come back! "

He quickly increased his speed to get ahead of her and then landed with a thump right in her path, crouched and ready to pounce.

" Hiya little bug! " he smirked and flashed her a very unsettling grin.

Mick was admittedly curious but he had long since learned to trust Bast and was not about to be stupid enough to ask " Where are we going? " He figured sooner or later he'd find out anyways so he did as he was told and followed behind her, keeping his eyes open to catch any danger.

"Shh, shh." Magic tingled in the air and whether the other could avoid it, their words were muted. "Stay down and follow my footsteps exactly."
