dimension 20: neverafter.

the following prompts were taken from neverafter, the fifteenth season of dimension 20, an actual play tabletop roleplaying web series, known for its cast of professional comedians & improv artists, with most of the campaigns taking place in a new setting each time. neverafter was based on fairy tales & fables, set in the eponymous lands as the forces of shadow move across the world, & corrupt the tales within. some prompts have been lightly edited for roleplaying suitability. please note ― these prompts may include mentions of blood, cannibalism, war, death, & other things some might find upsetting, as well as indirect spoilers for the season. feel free to change pronouns & prompts as you see fit !

❛ what shadows now lurk in the lands of the neverafter ? ❜

❛ say hi, intrepid heroes ! ❜

❛ & that is the last time there will be levity. ❜

❛ this tale begins anew in the telling, & with that, there is only one way to begin. ❜

❛ any moment now, my true love will come & kiss me, & help me to escape. ❜

❛ you didn’t say there were going to be thorns, dude ! ❜

❛ please, no, don’t leave ! it’s not safe ! ❜

❛ none who have come have been allowed to pass. ❜

❛ all will be well in the land of dreams, [ name. ] ❜

❛ hello ? is anybody else awake ? hello ?! ❜

❛ once we get to the next town, someone will acknowledge our titles. ❜

❛ you ain’t a monster ? what do you look like that for ? ❜

❛ no. no, no, no, we fixed this, though ! ❜

❛ this is sort of unpleasant talk at the table, is it not ? ❜

❛ i didn’t want to say anything, but everyone’s being a bit rude. ❜

❛ you have heard of what now befalls the realms. giants striding in the land, witches, terrible storms, creatures of the sea … ❜

❛ isn’t there something horrifying about the idea that our lives ended the day we wed ? ❜

❛ what would it look like, everything being good ? ❜

❛ to those who help a transformed [ prince / princess / title ] become themselves again, there is much reward. ❜

❛ oh, fucking christ, i can’t keep this up. ❜

❛ you kind of just threw me in a river & took all my clothes ! ❜

❛ my life became incredible, but you really turned the whole kingdom upside down. ❜

❛ who truly knows the nature of such curses ? ❜

❛ i have a list of my ten best friends, & i just want you to know that you just bumped up four places. ❜

❛ we’ll rest the night, but it’s not safe to stop in the woods for long. ❜

❛ my mom says i need to make more age appropriate friends. ❜

❛ i may have made a second wish kind of quickly ... still hadn’t realized that the first wish was so consequential. ❜

❛ i’m going to find [ name ], & everything is fine, they still love me. ❜

❛ so if, momentarily, i could just stay with you at your castle maybe, for two or three years … ? ❜

❛ what’s your curse ? when did it start ? ❜

❛ my curse, well, without getting too deep into the weeds, i was sort of a spoiled brat back in the day … ❜

❛ i wouldn’t cross a witch if i were you, my friend. ❜

❛ if you could just let me in, i could explain everything. ❜

❛ i don’t have anywhere to go if not here. ❜

❛ you lured me in with your own love ? you fucking scam of a [ man / woman ] ! ❜

❛ did you all sit down to a nice dinner while you presumed i was dead ? ❜

❛ it's not a kind place, & it never has been. ❜

❛ they're very wealthy now, & so they draw many people into their fold to fleece, chew up, & spit out. ❜

❛ my entire kingdom has fallen, so i'm not really in touch with anyone. ❜

❛ you will not be able to withstand what comes for me, so you must remain out of sight. ❜

❛ great & many are the forces that conspire against [ us / me. ] ❜

❛ if it's a game you want, then a game you shall have. ❜

❛ you have been telling many lies, [ name. ] i hope you can manage them all. ❜

❛ is it strange to say, friend, that i feel as though i've met you somewhere before ? ❜

❛ did you just kill that guy ? ❜

❛ i will not stand here & hear that you're a monster. ❜

❛ please tell me how you're a monster, too, so that i don't feel so alone. ❜

❛ i'm sorry, i feel like i'm at a disadvantage. i do not have your name. ❜

❛ do you dream of power, riches, wealth ? to be the cleverest, the fairest, the wisest in the land ? ❜

❛ may i ask a favor only in exchange for what i have shown you ? ❜

❛ none who have ventured there have ever returned, not since the times of shadow came. ❜

❛ a mirror inside there wanted to talk to you. ❜

❛ i don't think we are very good at pretending to be royals. ❜

❛ it seems that it takes a great deal of strength just to hold on to what little we might have. ❜

❛ careful, there's werewolves in there. ❜

❛ there are very few & precious chances left for things to be set to right. ❜

❛ perhaps even some of those ways of setting things to right are themselves doors into traps. ❜

❛ many will offer answers. i would trust your heart, & the heart of your companions alone. ❜

❛ the castle is, i don't know if it's completely fallen, but it was certainly … ❜

❛ i bravely fled when things got dodgy. ❜

❛ my guy, i barely know you. ❜

❛ i think sometimes things that are cool & seem fun up front then get real fuckin' nasty like ten minutes in, so … ❜

❛ i am that type of guy, where, when i walk in you go, that guy's pretty handsome. ❜

❛ fairy blood stains forever. ❜

❛ feels like we’re gonna have to kill them. ❜

❛ this spell is a crass & selfish thing. ❜

❛ i told you i was a liability. ❜

❛ what’s that out in the forest ? ❜

❛ i’m fucking scared right now ! ❜

❛ wow. we’re in hell. ❜

❛ you’ve been touched by fairy magic yourself. ❜

❛ even curses are gifts in their own right. ❜

❛ what do you imagine my gift would have been if it had all not gone so wrong ? ❜

❛ stop using me to hide, they'll kill me ! ❜

❛ don't you want the kind of life i can provide ? ❜

❛ they've taken your true love from you. ❜

❛ magic was never yours, magic is ours ! ❜

❛ tell [ name ] that i did cool stuff so that they love me again. ❜

❛ something that's very important to note in this situation ― i'm little, & i'm small. ❜

❛ the old gods will fight the new. ❜

❛ my little [ name ], they have lied to you. ❜

❛ i don't know what i want. i don't want this ! ❜

❛ will you remember ? ❜

❛ we never should've gotten involved in this, [ name. ] ❜

❛ this is no place for a prince & a princess. ❜

❛ it's not too late for you. ❜

❛ you gonna kill me again ? 'cause if you're going to kill me again, i'll leave right now. ❜

❛ [ name ], it's different now. the world's different now. it's not like it was. ❜

❛ i don't understand why you would fail this egregiously. ❜

❛ you seem disappointed in my gifts. ❜

❛ you seem to think that those powers i've given you were not enough for you. ❜

❛ i don't want to do this anymore. ❜

❛ i would not consider it an unkindness for you to release me from this trap here. ❜

❛ i feel like i've been here before, haven't i ? ❜

❛ it's part of the trickster thing, really. y'know, you die a lot. ❜

❛ i think it seems fun & it seems correct to just fuck it all up. ❜

❛ no one say anything they're not going to be able to take back in the morning. ❜

❛ i'm not a hero. i'm a piece of shit, like you are. ❜

❛ i, for one, think that it is me who should go back & join this grand adventure that now unfolds. ❜

❛ farewell, friend. good hunting out there. keep sharp, keep clever. ❜

❛ everything's always good when we're on our own. ❜

❛ many of the places that are meant to keep us safe are cages. ❜

❛ [ name ], you're a story. ❜

❛ people like you & me, we're not really supposed to know about each other. we're not really supposed to find out how bad of a deal we got. ❜

❛ it's not necessarily fair, it's not necessarily right, but it is what it is. ❜

❛ i don't believe that destiny is unthinking & unfeeling. i believe that destiny is a project, & that there are entities responsible for it. ❜

❛ the times of once upon a time are vast, they are many, but they do not go on forever. ❜

❛ do not take the crimes of those who have manipulated us & put them at the feet of the world. ❜

❛ it's our time to write the story, & we're going to make the world how we want it. ❜

❛ okay, stop being coy & just make an introduction already. ❜

❛ i guess you just make me do really crazy stuff, & that i feel like i need something really noble to justify doing it. ❜

❛ your gifts are monstrous. i don't think i can look at myself in the mirror. ❜

❛ oh god. how am i going to make this right ? ❜

❛ none of this was supposed to happen. ❜

❛ we need to find what has corrupted [ name's / your ] mind, & we need to change [ them / you ] back. ❜

❛ what happened to your dick & balls ? ❜

❛ i think you look good ! … i wasn't flirting with you. ❜

❛ oh, that [ man / woman ] is bleeding. [ he / she ] probably needs my help & / or seduction. ❜

❛ you know, there's a difference between privacy & secrecy. ❜

❛ women love grand gestures, & they matter forever. ❜

❛ i feel like something was pulling me to you. does that make any sense to you ? ❜

❛ i guess all along it was really obvious that i was never royalty, huh ? ❜

❛ well, i wasn't expecting you to crawl your way out of that pit you dug for yourself. ❜

❛ am i charmed or am i frightened ? i don't know, both of them ? ❜

❛ we're all on our own in the dark, little one. ❜

❛ look, i get it. everyone raised you & told you you were gonna be beautiful, & charming, & good at singing & dancing, & now you're a fucking monster. ❜

❛ am i always supposed to be scared ? ❜

❛ it's been pretty dangerous around here. i wouldn't mind going somewhere else for a while. ❜

❛ it was a non - sexual adult sleepover. ❜

❛ they're going to know it was me, aren't they ? ❜

❛ true love isn't real ! don't worry about it ! ❜

❛ i'm going to die alone, & so is everybody else, isn't it great ? ❜

❛ are you hoping to come to my world, or are you hoping that i cross through the doorway into your world ? ❜

❛ i did not summon you to speak to me ! ❜

❛ now you have truly outlived your use. ❜

❛ where'd you go, buddy ? where did you go when i needed you most, my friend ? ❜

❛ you're the only one who lived ! we all fucking died ! ❜

❛ i got a good thing going now, okay ? things are nice. ❜

❛ i don't know if my story is about anything. it just sort of happens to me. ❜

❛ are our stories more susceptible to being corrupted ? ❜

❛ look, what would you have done, okay ? clearly things were not working out. what was i going to do ? ❜

❛ how nice ! everyone loves a fucking underdog ! ❜

❛ i saw this kind of monstrous thing with people crawling under its skin. ❜

❛ i have a very complicated relationship with wolves. ❜

❛ you're my best friend, & i lied to you, & i know how fucked up that is. ❜

❛ they're fine with all the bad things that have ever happened to us. ❜

❛ i'm worried that the reason that bad things happen to good people is because it's a good story. ❜

❛ shouldn't be leaving doors open. not while i'm around. ❜

❛ maybe you shouldn't trust in yourself so much. ❜

❛ it's like every time i fail or have a misstep, i suffer the ultimate consequences, & that doesn't happen to others, & i want to know why. ❜

❛ what was the goal ? why did i have to suffer ? ❜

❛ this is a terrible mistake you have made. i thought you had learned your lesson. ❜

❛ why are you trying to stop me ? ❜

❛ sometimes you need to lie, to save someone, or to keep someone safe. ❜

❛ i should never have made you. ❜

❛ i don't know why, but they want to keep us apart. ❜

❛ you don’t wish for me to have love or friendship or joy. ❜

❛ you always think that you know what's best. there's no room for anything else. ❜

❛ why are you taking this tone with me ? ❜

❛ you have some complaints. i assume they are complaints about things you don't like about your life. ❜

❛ i am trying as hard as i can to get us back to happily ever after. ❜

❛ i understand that there may be issues you have with your story. it does end in happily ever after. ❜

❛ when i am dead, eat of my flesh, & you will be strong enough to wander the woods on your own & return home. ❜

❛ the woodsman is not coming. ❜

❛ something's gone seriously wrong. ❜

❛ so you want us all to go back to the way things were ? ❜

❛ i met death, & death wants me to live ! ❜

❛ what is this barbarism ? ❜

❛ if that had been my childhood, i would want to be at balls every day. ❜

❛ it's insane, it's maddening. i'm going crazy here. why are you cool with this ? ❜

❛ sounds like you were starved for attention from your parents. ❜

❛ do you think that you found true love, or do you think that you just found the first person that could turn you back into what you were ? ❜

❛ it's been a long time since i've been to a ball. ❜

❛ it was never supposed to get this complicated. it was never supposed to get this strange. ❜

❛ you think it's bad now ? i'm cooking something up even worse. ❜

❛ they are not going to, if they are decent, going to allow you to live in misery. ❜

❛ i knew that you were jealous ! you're a spiteful brat ! ❜

❛ there are those who know. i will find out why this has happened. ❜

❛ if you will agree to give me one favor of yours, binding, maybe i tell you why your life is so rotten. ❜

❛ i give you something now which will break you, because you have asked for it, & let this be a lesson to be careful what you ask for. ❜

❛ you made me to be a monster, & i never had a choice. ❜

❛ every bad thing that happened to me was planned from the start. ❜

❛ i don't think i like your story. i don't think i like any stories. ❜

❛ don't fucking sing right now. ❜

❛ it is a foul thing to attempt to eat another creature ― unless, of course, they have done something warranting eating. ❜

❛ tell me, what tale of mine, what manner of my reputation reached you, that you would travel all this way to propose marriage ? ❜

❛ i will not be called brave, for i hid in my house & they in theirs, & they are dead, & i draw breath. ❜

❛ [ name ], take the heat off of me. i can't interact with this guy. ❜

❛ i'm really excited to see how your kids turn out. if it's a boy i bet he'll have his [ mother's / father's ] eyes, & his [ mother's / father's ] stick up his ass ! ❜

❛ i rather think that my soon - to - be spouse takes me for a fool. ❜

❛ you have come in here, & made an offer of love to a very lonely & dangerous person. ❜

❛ it's just, sometimes how chipper & sweet you are just doesn't feel like it's appropriate for the world as it is now. ❜

❛ that was like, exactly what i did not want to see. ❜

❛ no, no, no, no more versions of this story. not here, not this world nor any. ❜

❛ this is the biggest & baddest thing in all of fairy tale, & you want to set it free. ❜

❛ wasn't everything taken from you by this creature ? ❜

❛ you will thank me for what i have done this day. ❜

❛ not lightly do i let anyone place a spell upon me. ❜

❛ sometimes things are too late to be rewritten or undone, but there are more blank pages ahead of us, [ name. ] ❜

❛ i think no one ever asked me if i wanted these rules. ❜

❛ something about the smell of your magic lets me know that there is a beast like me that walks in your shadow. ❜

❛ wishes are dangerous things. ❜

❛ i do hate things that come in threes. ❜

❛ when your last moment comes, i will be waiting. never forget this. ❜

❛ i keep my own counsel, & my ways are my own. ❜

❛ there is no preparation you can make to anticipate what manner they will receive you in, nor what their goals or aims will be if they deign to speak with you. ❜

❛ the god of a thing, the bearer of a thing, the herald of a thing, is not the thing itself. ❜

❛ let's also not, like, sell our souls instantly. ❜

❛ this is someone else making a pact without you having any say in it. this is someone else wielding your power. ❜

❛ i am not here to prevent creatures from seeking the end of another story. ❜

❛ i don't appear in stories that are about me. i don't have stories of my own. ❜

❛ what did you devote your life to before this moment ? ❜

❛ there should be no stopping. rest will only invite the cold. ❜

❛ i am hated in these lands, as i am in most lands. ❜

❛ do we have a story of why the hell we're here ? ❜

❛ they are trying with all of their might to return the world to the path of destiny, a destiny that i, for one, do not agree with, & did not choose. ❜

❛ i had to escape an entire kingdom made of thorns. ❜

❛ we all must become cunning & wise in our time, to survive these worlds. ❜

❛ i know that there is more disagreement amongst them than there is amongst us. ❜

❛ when you don't have any choices, nothing is your fault if anything goes wrong. ❜

❛ the fear that you will make some choice that does some wrong within the world is exactly what your enemies are hoping will stop you. ❜

❛ i would not have chosen to gain this knowledge through the horrors i have endured. ❜

❛ [ name ], stop smelling it with your whole face ! ❜

❛ how did you come to awaken ? how did you come to understand the knowledge above ? ❜

❛ i panicked & offered them my hand in marriage. but don't worry ! nothing happened. ❜

❛ & you can tell, there are so many people here that think that they are the main character of a story. ❜

❛ [ name ], do you promise not to be mad at me ? ❜

❛ [ name ], you are still making a first impression. ❜

❛ what's the difference between destiny & what we think the story of our life should be ? ❜

❛ i asked you a yes or no question. you gave me a mental health assignment. ❜

❛ [ name ], can i just say, i feel like you've gotten creepier as this adventure has gone on. ❜

❛ hey, you know, i do think you're funny, just not intentionally. ❜

❛ my organs don't work anymore, & that was gut punching. ❜

❛ oh, you want a villain ? i'll show you a villain. ❜

❛ if they wanted to kill us, we'd be dead, but they want to control us. ❜

❛ work with, & take advantage of are two very different things. much to consider. ❜

❛ you don't have to carry that shame. ❜

❛ oh god, that was like the worst thing you could've said. ❜

❛ yes, my marriage is in shambles. ❜

❛ witches who moonlight as queens are not my favorite. ❜

❛ oh, [ name ], you are going to eat your fucking words about this place ! ❜

❛ you know there's nothing i love more than a good boy time. you know i used to be the king of the good boy time. ❜

❛ [ name ], we can't do this anymore, man ! ❜

❛ i've known you for two seconds, & you bit me, hard ! ❜

❛ so ideally, how this turns out is you feed me human meat ? that's the ideal scenario for you ? ❜

❛ oh, okay, now everyone wants to listen to [ name ] ! now everyone doesn't want to stab [ name ] ! ❜

❛ are you a witch ? how can you speak to me in my mind like this ? ❜

❛ something about me screaming gibberish makes people realize what matters most to them. ❜

❛ [ name ], you have debased yourself with this vile new form ! ❜

❛ this is what i'm here for, to do the little dumb things. ❜

❛ [ name ], why don't you focus on not drowning ? ❜

❛ this is a trolley problem situation. do you kill yourself or all of your friends ? ❜

❛ [ name ], it's not a time for explosives ! ❜

❛ fuck you, fuck you ! i tried to be your friend ! ❜

❛ there are hard feelings. please, allow me to make amends. ❜

❛ i was trying to angle to get [ name / title ] killed ! ❜

❛ you were in love with … they were literally about to let you die. ❜

❛ i know we're in the middle of the ocean, but even so, that's pretty thirsty. ❜

❛ i think i should've let them stab you. ❜

❛ did you want some whiskey & bubblegum ? i just had some. ❜

❛ is your life supposed to be good ? ❜

❛ it seems kind of hard to be you. ❜

❛ you know, i hear a lot about this true love, & to me, if the love's true, why are they marrying another, & not you ? ❜

❛ i thought there was a chance that things would be gruesome enough here that you would still do the deed & plunge the dagger in. ❜

❛ it's hard to know if [ they're / you're ] actually good, or if [ they're / you're ] just young & hot & look cool with weapons. ❜

❛ i might be happy to give you a word of advice or caution, but i'm not in the habit of doing anything helpful for free. ❜

❛ if it turns out i was helpful, tell them to sing songs of me. ❜

❛ i didn't put them up to this. i know it seems like the type of thing i would do, but i didn't. ❜

❛ i found your body in the other world. ❜

❛ i know that you've been dealing with all of this for much longer than i've been dealing with it, & i'm sorry that i made you do that alone. ❜

❛ i don't know that you've done anything so horrifying that it warrants forgiveness, but i accept the apology. ❜

❛ i think the way i was brought up led me to believe that at the end of extraordinary & unprecedented things, you just sort of float, like a lily pad on a pond. but it never really stops, ❜

❛ there's a whole lot left in that ever after. ❜

❛ if you had never found me, if i hadn't been able to come here, what would you be doing now ? ❜

❛ if i didn't know you were out there fighting, i wouldn't have done it. ❜

❛ i am utterly disappointed. i really thought that you would see reason before the end, & you have not. ❜

❛ you have to figure, at a certain point, even money it's cursed, & it's just not worth the effort. ❜

❛ i think as long as i'm around, the old stories of me will be around, & as long as they are around, nothing can be good. ❜

❛ i know that this is a bleak banner under which we fight. i know that. will you at least think on it ? ❜

❛ you seem to be very troubled with questions of the cosmos & great forces in the world. ❜

❛ you can kneel down on this floor & let me devour you, or i can just do it anyway. ❜

❛ i am not your keeper. you came to this castle freely. you may do as you wish, ❜

❛ everyone you ever knew who told you that they would keep you safe as long as you behaved was already hurting you. ❜

❛ no one else is looking out for anyone. they're all just keeping you in line. ❜

❛ live your life without apology, [ name. ] it is never wrong to tell the truth about what you are. ❜

❛ say it ! if you have something to say, say it ! ❜

❛ hey, i apologize, all right ? i've had a hard time, & i've come out the other side differently than you. ❜

❛ it's an insane social interaction, because you're trying to talk to someone who you're fucking scared of ! ❜

❛ i fucked up ! i told them everything ! ❜

❛ [ name ], i didn't get any information & i think i made them more suspicious ! ❜

❛ i need to eat my feelings ! ❜

❛ really quick, are we going to have to try to break back in here to save our friends ? ❜

❛ i've never hated my own voice more. ❜

❛ our social graces really backfired on us this time. ❜

❛ another world is possible, & we have a different option for moving forward. ❜

❛ i'm going to choke the life out of you, you simpering old fool. ❜

❛ it was a really weird situation, because these were, like, these really high status people, & it felt hard to disagree with them, & really confusing to navigate. ❜

❛ the winter is going to eat [ them / you / me ], so who cares ? ❜

❛ a bunch of hot bitches with cool powers squatting in a dead person's castle ? can we agree that that was weird ? ❜

❛ we have left where my horse brain can go. ❜

❛ if you wish to do it in one night, you could simply talk to the moon & ask her to tell the sun not to rise. ❜

❛ okay, so we rode the fucking wind one time. ❜

❛ lost something very precious, didn't we, [ name ] ? ❜

❛ [ name ], what the fuck ? did you even try to talk to them ? ❜

❛ i tried talking to them ! they said they wanted to eat us ! ❜

❛ excuse you ! stop casting spells on me, very rude ! ❜

❛ heartbreak only makes us better. ❜

❛ many have claimed that for the strength i wield, i must be the child of giants. ❜

❛ this is the best puppet show i've ever been to. ❜

❛ never fear, never fear ! brighter days are here ! ❜

❛ i'll have to kill you. you know that, right ? we're at a point where you just have to be brave, or i have to kill you. ❜

❛ next time i see [ them / you ], i'm going to fucking kill [ them / you. ] ❜

❛ [ name ], do you imagine that life is pleasant with you running away from me ? ❜

❛ wow, you know how to make a [ girl / boy ] feel special. ❜

❛ stop rooting for your child to hit me. ❜

❛ if you loved me, you would understand ! these people revere me ! ❜

❛ you got everything you want in this life, & you look miserable. ❜

❛ i did these things to make people happy ! i did them so they wouldn't think i was a fool ! ❜

❛ i'm a breath away from dying, & i'm running away from it constantly. ❜

❛ i did that for you because i love you. ❜

❛ [ name ], this is what rock bottom looks like ! ❜

❛ you're the last person i know from my kingdom at all. ❜

❛ make this worth it. ❜

❛ why are you just whispering piss to yourself ? ❜

❛ this is another mark against them, that they didn't take you under their wing. ❜

❛ i don't know that the being that put me here fears much at all. ❜

❛ i think that [ they / you ] responded to [ their / your ] pain by trying to destroy everything. ❜

❛ if you want me to be bad, i'll be the worst that you've ever seen. ❜

❛ the harp is a powerful enchanted object. it is capable of lulling great beings into enchanted slumber, but also potentially of awakening those who have been so cursed. ❜

❛ your third wish will kill you. ❜

❛ i'm always wary when i go to sleep that i won't wake up for another hundred years, but that's just how it goes. ❜

❛ shouldn't we just get to make our own stories ? ❜

❛ sometimes it feels like in my social interactions i set up hurdles that other people aren't willing to jump. ❜

❛ the mind loves to take hardships & turn them into puzzles, i find. ❜

❛ this has been fun. but something's going to have to change at some point. ❜

❛ you win your war, & then what ? ❜

❛ i'm going to have so much shit to talk tomorrow. ❜

❛ you can't run away, because you'll be running away your whole life. you've got to stand up for yourself. ❜

❛ what the fuck are you doing ? get out of here ! ❜

❛ to change the world is the stuff of nightmares. ❜

❛ it is a horrifying responsibility to think that because things cannot remain the same, each & every one of us must shoulder some responsibility for how they will become different. ❜

❛ oh, you seem rather upset. is now a bad time ? ❜

❛ i think that what matters now is that we make that sacrifice matter. ❜

❛ i have a feeling i can just take the lead on this one. ❜

❛ i know you choose no side, but still would ask for your help. ❜

❛ what's this you carry with you ? ❜

❛ you are something, i think, very pure. not so much a person. more like a spirit, yes ? ❜

❛ they are eternal, vast, cosmic. everything about our world, they create. do you want to know something, though ? i've watched countless of them die, & i'm still here. ❜

❛ they can take their hands to come in & change something about you. but if you are strong, you go back to the way you were. ❜

❛ a name is a powerful thing to give. how much would you give for a name ? ❜

❛ you know, with a gift, it is the thought that counts, & i like for a gift to hurt to give. ❜

❛ you guys got to get the fuck out of here. you see that thing ? i could fuck it up, but you guys are toast. ❜

❛ okay, well, there's a huge bird over there, & he's kind of freaking me out, so go fuck yourself ? ❜

❛ you're royalty. friends are probably pretty expendable, right ? ❜

❛ what would you be willing to give for what you seek, & would you give it to me ? ❜

❛ i know that you do not know them now, but they are your true love. it is written. ❜

❛ don't you think i want to fall in love ? ❜

❛ it is your duty to accept your destiny. ❜

❛ why do you feel so worthy to have your happily ever after without the sorrows of your own story ? ❜

❛ you want only those sweet things promised to those who suffer. ❜

❛ you think i don't know that you're only cruel to make them look better ? ❜

❛ how are you different from them, & how are they different from you ? ❜

❛ what if you make your own choices, & thanks to those choices, you lead a lonely, desperate, terrifying, & sorrowful life ? ❜

❛ hey, this is a really weird thing & i'm just going to go there. can i give you a hug ? ❜

❛ it is as sad to lose as it is wonderful to have. ❜

❛ you know what the reward for seizing your own destiny is ? you know what all of that freedom gives you ? fear. ❜

❛ all you had to do was tell the truth. now your reward is pain. ❜

❛ i am going to call them here, & when they come, i am going to burst from the world they made to hold me & kill them. ❜

❛ what would you give for a chance to write this story a different way ? ❜

❛ i do fear that if i don't write my own story, it will start writing itself. ❜

❛ you've stepped out to die, [ name. ] ❜

❛ what would you be willing to give to find the path through this place ? ❜

❛ you're just going to waltz into my life & turn it around ? ❜

❛ you are too late. turn from this place. i wish you no harm. ❜

❛ i have another way. all i'm asking is you hear me out. ❜

❛ i know what it means to have something taken away from you, & to feel like you'll never get it back. ❜

❛ i don't want my story to end here. ❜

❛ which side do you wanna be on right now ? ❜

❛ everybody but me is going to die here ! ❜

❛ it would be an honor to die by your hands. ❜

❛ [ name ], it's all lost. the kingdom is gone. our home is gone. ❜

❛ this is the apocalypse. this is the end of everything. ❜

❛ when you look at your destiny & you see that the most important part of your life was something that happened to you, why would you fight to save that ? ❜

❛ everything was a lie before. there is no just, happy ending. things don't just end. ❜

❛ everything, everything cycles & it just, it doesn't have to be the way that it was. ❜

❛ without that situation on top of us, would we ever have been friends ? ❜

❛ i've had just about enough of you wretched creatures ! ❜

❛ i have my mission. i know what must be done. ❜

❛ i expected no one more than you to understand. ❜

❛ i expected no one more than you to want to live. ❜

❛ there is no happy ending for you anymore. there is only what must be done. ❜

❛ you must wake up ! ❜

❛ the world you want, it's not worth fighting for anymore. ❜

❛ maybe you should be paying attention to people other than yourself ! ❜

❛ get your hands off me ! i'm fucking royalty ! ❜
