technically prompts inspired by the deus ex machina trope but !! basically these prompts are for scenarios in which muses are in a situation where they're under attack and an unexpected hero arrives! i hope you enjoy them!
from the unexpected hero.
" get off of her/him/them! "
" oh... oh god... i really hope that was a bad guy... i don't think i'm okay with hurting a good guy. "
" are you alright?! was i too late? did they hurt you? "
" sorry i'm late... i would've been quicker had i known this was going on. "
" i bet you're glad i came along now, aren't you? "
" what was that you said earlier? about, what was it... being just fine on your own? "
" no man's an island, right? you need me to watch your back. this is proving that. "
" leave her/them/him alone! "
" me following you isn't me being condescending. you could've died if i hadn't shown up when i did. "
" i know, i know. you had it under control. good thing i was here to ensure that. "
" i was... in the neighborhood? "
" you can't seriously be mad at me for helping you back there. "
" fine! next time you're about to get yourself killed, i won't show up at all! "
" hey, shh... it's okay. i'm here now. you're safe, they're gone. it's all over. "
" mornin', sleepyhead. if any of the nurses ask, i'm your girlfriend/boyfriend/partner. they wouldn't let me in otherwise, even when i said i saved your ass. "
" i just killed that person! but... they were gonna kill you. right? "
" look. the way i see it, you're not a bad person. they were a bad person. and it was either let them kill you, or kill them instead. so that's what i did. "
" i don't regret what i did. i mean... if that's what you're worried about, don't be. i'd do it again. without a doubt. "
" you... you saved me... "
" just in the nick of time! "
" holy shit... what took you so long?! "
" i... i gotta say, this is not what i was expecting. "
" i don't need your help, you know. "
" i mean, don't get me wrong, i appreciate being alive, but... i'm no damsel/dude/dear in distress. i don't need someone saving my ass all the time. "
" don't worry about me, worry about you! are you okay? because... you just killed a guy. and i know why and i am so grateful, but... you still killed someone. how are you feeling? "
" i've never been so happy to see you in my entire life! "
" it's my fault. i... you just killed someone because of me. and that's gotta be weighing on you, and... and that's on me. and i'm so sorry, okay? really and truly, i am so so sorry... "
" ...am i in a hospital bed? "
" jesus! oh, oh god, okay, listen to me, you... that was a bad guy. yes, it was, a very bad person. you saved my life! and i need you to focus on that while we get out of here before anyone sees us. got it? "
" no, wait! you just killed someone to save my life! i wanna know why! "
