if you are sending to a multi-muse, remember to specify the muse that the sentence starters are being sent for .

💳 [BLACKCARD] Send this for [receiver] to casually drop a no-limit credit card on the table to settle a massive debt or problem for [sender].

👔 [TAILOR] Send this for [sender] to accompany [receiver] to a private, by-appointment-only fitting at an elite atelier.

📋 [GUESTLIST] Send this for [sender] to get turned away at the door of an exclusive event, only for [receiver] to step in and dictate the rules to the bouncers.

🥂 [CHARTER] Send this for [receiver] to wake up aboard a luxury yacht or private estate, having been brought there after a chaotic situation the night before.

🏙️ [SKYLINE] Send this for [sender] to look out the window of a private penthouse and realize [receiver] owns every single building within their line of sight.

🤐 [SETTLEMENT] Send this for [receiver's] personal attorney to slide a blank check and a non-disclosure agreement across a mahogany table to [sender.]

☕ [SPILL] Send this for [sender] to accidentally spill a cheap coffee all over [receiver]’s custom-tailored suit at a crowded transit station or public bench.

💳 [DECLINED] Send this for [sender<#s] card to get declined at a grocery store or standard cafe, only for [reciever], standing behind yours in line, to casually pay for it without looking up from their phone.

🌧️ [SHELTER] Send this for [sender] to get caught in a sudden downpour, only for my muse's private chauffeur to pull up to the curb and offer a ride on [receiver's] orders.

🚪 [WRONGFLOOR] Send this for [sender] to accidentally take the wrong elevator and step out directly onto the secure, highly restricted penthouse floor owned entirely by [reciever].

🛠️ [SERVICE] Send this for [sender] to be working a service, catering, or repair job at an ultra-exclusive high-society gala or private estate where [receiver] is hosting it.

"Do you always throw money at a problem?"

"Take the money. Consider it an immediate compensation."

"I don't care how many politicians or judges you have on your speed dial—you can't buy your way out of this."

"You look stressed for someone who owns this block."

"If you want to blend in, drop the custom suit."

"I don't care about the news. You're blocking the sugar."

"You look like you desperately need a break."

"I didn't ask for your charity."

"Your money won't fix this mess."

"Are you capable of a normal conversation?"

"You look completely out of your element here."

"I don't need your charity."

"Does anyone ever tell you no?"

"Of course you have six cars."

"Must be nice to just snap your fingers and watch an entire room of people scramble to do exactly what you want."

"Is this how you interact with everyone? Just writing checks until they do exactly what you want?"

"Your life looks like a flawless magazine spread."

"You can't just mandate my compliance because you're used to getting whatever you pay for."

"I don't have to threaten you. I can simply buy the bank that holds your mortgage."

"Go to the press, tell them everything."

"You don't even see people anymore, do you? We're all just assets or liabilities on a spreadsheet to you."

"I knew you were rich, but I didn't realize you had enough money to make an entire police investigation completely disappear overnight."

"You can't just buy my compliance and expect me to smile about it."

"I don't care how many zeros are at the end of your bank statement."

He had rejected every offer put to him so far, recognising the carrot when it was still attached to the stick. The recent news about his declining condition wasn't going to change his mind, even if it was proven, beyond debate, that Alchemax had the means to... stabilise his DNA. Safeguard what remained of his humanity -- just in time for it to be sold and bartered with, on the chessboard of Tyler Stone's grand schemes.

Now, of course, I don't want to lose my top geneticist when we have so much work to do still, but what kind of father would I be to leave my boy under threat of something as fixable as death?
