❛ everything you touch, you ruin. ❜

❛ the only one who gets to kill you, is me. ❜

❛ you can’t make me disappear. ❜

❛ memories are only there to make you bleed. ❜

❛ i don’t need your permission. ❜

❛ don’t shut me out like this. ❜

❛ the less you know, the better. ❜

❛ i won’t stop killing until you kill me. ❜

❛ why is it whenever we see each other, you’re covered in blood? ❜

❛ you think i felt something for you? you’ve forgotten what i am. ❜

❛ the last time we talked, didn’t you say you wanted to kill me? ❜

❛ i felt something loosen in me that shouldn’t have been loosened. ❜

❛ pull yourself together. we have work to do. ❜

❛ stay back, i have a demon inside of me. ❜

❛ let me get closer, i have a hell inside of me where your demon can live. ❜

❛ people like that don’t deserve to live. ❜

❛ just do what you’re told. like you always do. ❜

❛ why do you have to make everyone hate you? ❜

❛ it’s better that you don’t get involved. ❜

❛ i’d do anything to make you stay. ❜

❛ who cares if it bleeds. ❜

❛ is this what you think love is? ❜

❛ just breathe through it. it gets easier. ❜

❛ don’t pretend that you cared about me. ❜

❛ i’m starting to think you like wasting my time. ❜

❛ we wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for me. ❜

❛ i will never, ever, give you a moment’s peace. ❜

❛ the world doesn’t hate us. but it doesn’t love us either. ❜

❛ it hurts that you still can’t trust me after all this time. ❜

❛ a darkness with voices is better than a silent void. ❜

❛ it’s safer to be feared, than loved. ❜

❛ am i not good enough for you? ❜

❛ a burnt child loves the fire. ❜

❛ i’m tired of dying. ❜

❛ what if you hurt because it feels good? ❜

❛ don’t try to fix me, i’m not broken. ❜

❛ if you want me to die, you can just say so. ❜

❛ you don’t have to be afraid of who you are. ❜

❛ that line disappears once you cross it. ❜

❛ how can i believe you after all you’ve done? ❜

❛ i won’t let you forget about me. ❜

❛ the person you once knew me as, died. ❜

❛ are you going to leave me again? ❜

❛ i have nothing i could offer you. ❜

❛ no one is going to save you. no one can. ❜

❛ maybe you’re / i’m already dead. ❜ 

❛ you have blood on your hands. ❜

❛ what, can’t take a punch? ❜

❛ i’m your mind giving you someone to talk to. ❜

I'll give you money if you shut up. I'll give you more money to be less of a knob.

arranged marriage thematic starters, only revamped! change pronouns/adapt as needed!

refusal and disagreements

❝ I would rather die than marry the likes of you. ❞

❝ I will run away! I won’t accept this marriage! ❞

❝ I cannot accept this. I will not marry them – my heart belongs to someone else. ❞

❝ Please – please do not make me wed them! ❞

❝ Anyone else would be better! Please, I know you can find me a better match! ❞

❝ Do not touch me! I only married you for duty, stay away from me! ❞

❝ I do not care what you want, we did not marry out of love. ❞

❝ You are mine now. Act properly. ❞

❝ Who you loved before is meaningless. We are married now, and your lover will remain in the past. ❞

❝ I will never love you! ❞

❝ It isn’t fair! I don’t even know them! ❞

❝ You will not give my only child to that monster! ❞

❝ It is a match beneath my daughter. You insult us with the mere proposition of it. ❞

❝ She is a princess. She won’t be wed to someone lesser. ❞

❝ He will marry the one we chose, not that peasant! ❞

❝ You refuse me to give yourself to a peasant?! ❞

❝ The match is already made but I cannot accept it. I love you! ❞

❝ It is you I love! I could not bear to be with them instead. ❞

meetings and beginnings

❝ You are not at all what I imagined. ❞

❝ I know you hold no love for me. How could you when we are practically strangers? And I know we may never come to love each other, but we can at least be friends. ❞

❝ Love can be built, too. And if you’re willing, I would like to try and learn to love you. ❞

❝ The descriptions I heard did not do justice to your beauty. ❞

❝ You are lovely. I am lucky you are to be wed to me. ❞

❝ I must admit I expected far worse from an arranged marriage. ❞

❝ I want to know you better if we are to be wed. Tell me about the things you like. ❞

❝ We are only marrying because I need an heir. What you do and with who beyond that does not matter to me. ❞

❝ I too am in love with someone else, but they will never allow me to marry my beloved. Why don’t we make an agreement? ❞

❝ Am I not what you expected? ❞

❝ You seem disappointed… I may not be as good-looking as you expected, but I shall never treat you unkindly. ❞

❝ This is your home too, now. You are free to go wherever you wish. ❞

❝ How odd we have been betrothed for so long but never saw each other before our wedding day. ❞

❝ I do not care about power and wealth. I want to marry for love. ❞

❝ Even though I have been told this would happen my entire life, I still can’t quite accept it. ❞

discussing the topic

❝ In just a few days I will be wed to someone I never met. ❞

❝ It is so odd to think my entire life will change so fast. A person I don’t even know, and we will be bound for life! ❞

❝ I know they plan to marry me off to someone soon, even if no one said a thing yet. ❞

❝ How could you agree to this without even asking me what I want? ❞

❝ You will do as you’re told and marry them! ❞

❝ We picked the best match available for you. ❞

❝ It is the best we managed. I am sorry you don’t like them, but there was no other way. ❞

❝ You knew this day would come. People like us only marry for duty, dear. ❞

❝ Love is not the priority for the likes of us. ❞

❝ Marrying for love is a delusion. ❞

❝ You are a princess. You will have to agree to a match eventually. ❞

❝ There are so many good proposals! How come no one is to your tastes? ❞

❝ Our bloodline must continue, and for that, you need to marry and have heirs. ❞

❝ I do not wish to leave home. My betrothed lives in such a different place… ❞

❝ I will never let them ship you off to a stranger. ❞

❝ You will not be sold for power like I was. ❞

❝ I won’t let them trade you for their alliance! ❞

❝ The arrangement was made when you were both still children. It is much too late to go back on it. ❞

❝ We have been promised to each other for years, and yet we have never met. ❞

❝ They are deciding your life for you! How can you simply accept it?! ❞

❝ There is no reason to make a fuss. I have known for years someday I would be married to some stranger my family found suitable. ❞

❝ Through them, we shall finally join our bloodlines! ❞

❝ Our children make quite the pair. I am glad they seem to get along so easily. ❞

❝ Only kings would be worthy of you. We will accept no less on your behalf. ❞

❝ A complete stranger is suddenly mine. And then, I am hers, too – I must offer her my all. ❞

❝ What do you think your betrothed will be like? ❞

love, duty, ambition and alliances

❝ Don’t pretend to care. The only reason you agreed to this is because of my title. ❞

❝ You married me for my claim, I know that! I just thought, given time, we could grow to be fond of each other. ❞

❝ I shall marry you only because I must. ❞

❝ Ours is a union of duty. You would do well to remember that. ❞

❝ Every good child knows: duty before your heart’s desire. ❞

❝ Remember what is at stake. Peace relies on our union. ❞

❝ Even if we married for duty, our union can still become one of true love. ❞

❝ A marriage is a marriage – love or arranged. Both require the same level of commitment. ❞

❝ Both our lands benefit from our match – and I know will be a good queen. ❞

❝ My people will love you in time. I think I might, too. ❞

❝ We were wed for an alliance, but this doesn’t need to be terrible. We can at least be friends. ❞

❝ Duty brought us together, but it is love that will make this bearable. ❞

❝ My father used to say the strongest loves are built by choice, not by chance. ❞

❝ Do you believe in love at first sight? I think I’m already in love with you. ❞

❝ Even if you love me, your people never will. ❞

❝ I married you for your title. I do not care for love. ❞

❝ My heart is yours, but we cannot be together. My family would never agree to a match like this. ❞

❝ Marrying them will give the realm peace. I have to agree to the match, even if you are the one I truly love. ❞

❝ It seems silly to think a single union will end decades of conflict. This is just the start. ❞

❝ They found me someone rich to marry! I will finally have everything I wanted. ❞

❝ I do not care my betrothed is not handsome – I only care that he is rich. ❞

Prompts from the main quest of Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red:

❝ Do I look like a priest that runs a charity to you? ❞

❝ I’m a man of my word, you know that. ❞

❝ You know this town. It has strong roots - ever watered by the same blood. ❞

❝ I don’t know you, which means you’re worth shit around here and capable of even less. ❞

❝ I’m pleased to see you have not forgotten your roots. ❞

❝ So many of the little shits left around here… their spines go soft when they look down a barrel. ❞

❝ Listen, only one of two ways to do this friendly or fucked up. Either way, the ending’s the same. ❞

❝ I suggest you toss them in the sea. Cuffed legs broken so this trash doesn’t float. ❞

❝ I’m always never not nice! ❞

❝ Would you rather live in peace as Mr. Nobody, die dipe, old and smellin’ slightly of urine? Or go down for all times in a blaze of glory, smellin’ near like posies, ‘thout seein’ your thirtieth? ❞

❝ Call me ol’ fashioned, but I like to look anyone I do biz within the eye. ❞

❝ Sneeze in this city and a blossom drops from a cherry tree in Tokyo. ❞

❝ Sit your ass down ‘fore I plant a bullet in your skull. ❞

❝ No offense, but I’m gonna burn any and all bridges - need a clean break. ❞

❝ I see no reason why you should be using expletives. ❞

❝ The greatest crimes issue from a desire for excess and not from necessity. ❞

❝ You’d be surprised what people’re willin’ to give up to feel secure. ❞

❝ Why do I need to care about some bougie prick and his street-kid fantasies? ❞

❝ I’m ____. Would you like to join my gang? ❞

❝ Got bored of bein’ rich, an’ then got bored of playin’ tough. ❞

❝ I thought I told you not to meddle in my affairs. ❞

❝ Did you think I wouldn’t know it was taken from me? ❞

❝ Actually, I don’t think of you at all. Ever. ❞

❝ You think the world revolves around you. Arrogant. ❞

❝ Why did you came? To humiliate me? To personally see to it that I know my place? ❞

❝ The nail that protrudes from the wall gets hammered… ❞

❝ You’ve only ever cared about yourself… and your sick schemes. ❞

❝ There is much for which I could forgive you, but for treason - no. ❞

❝ I’m just glad your mother didn’t live to see this. The heart should break but once. ❞

❝ You shall never have to forgive me for anything again. ❞

❝ Anyone with so much as a pinky toe dipped in this mess is as good as dead! ❞

❝ Seems I’ve chosen the quiet life, after all. No blaze o’ glory for me. ❞

❝ What crawled up your ass? ❞

❝ I have found that people lie, most often deceiving themselves. ❞

❝ The dead are so very, very loud. And yet, lying is not in their nature. ❞

❝ Don’t you dare faint again. Keep your eyes open. ❞

❝ Sleep’s a small hint of death, the inevitable. ❞

❝ It’ll be terrifying. It’ll be painful. But it doesn’t have to be. ❞

❝ As long as you’re alive, there’s hope. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. ❞

❝ Life is so beautifully powerful, so much more powerful than death. ❞

❝ I’ll kill anyone who gets in my way. You included. ❞

❝ Need a smoke. Where’d you stash yours? ❞

❝ I can feel it… our minds… touching… I’m like mold on fruit… creepin’ into you… nothing I can do about it. You hear me?! I’d puke if I fuckin’ could! ❞

❝ I am the one who saved your life. ❞

❝ If you intend to live, you must reenter the ring. The bell has already tolled. ❞

❝ I needed you to live. That hasn’t changed. ❞

❝ ____, wait. I need you. ❞

❝ I seek revenge. Much more feasible here. ❞

❝ Honor among thieves - ever heard of it? ❞

❝ Rats’ll squeal when hangin’ by their tails. ❞

❝ You know you got some nerve. First you’re out to kill me, now you wanna be my pal?! ❞

❝ Trust me. Don’t trust me. I don’t give a fuck. It’s the least of our worries anyway. ❞

❝ You’re the ghost of Christmas past, asshole. Any Friends you had’re either dead or so old their memory’s gone. ❞

❝ I died a legend. Nobody forgets that. ❞

❝ There is no “us.” ❞

❝ Funerals are for the living, not the dead. ❞

❝ I’m bulletproof. Nothing bad’ll ever happen to me. ❞

❝ Make your best friends among the fighters that’ll knock you out cold. ❞

❝ Days like this even the meanest motherfuckers pay their respects. ❞

❝ I’m here to say goodbye to a good man. ❞

❝ You will bring death to your door. ❞

❝ My one concern is to keep you safe in this city forgotten by the Gods. ❞

❝ Unlike you, I have not failed to keep my oath to fulfil my duty. ❞

❝ You’re an engram in a fading mind. Nothing should surprise you anymore. ❞

❝ Little something called intuition. Ever heard of it? ❞

❝ Fuck the menu, let’s ditch this waitress and take our special order to the chef, point-blank. ❞

❝ I’m here to fulfill your deepest, most hidden desire. ❞

❝ When true desires go unfulfilled, they turn into needs. ❞

❝ Death’s’ absurdity, the futile struggle before these terrify you. ❞

❝ What you really fear is becoming someone else that you don’t recognise in the least. ❞

❝ The people I’ve lost live on in my thoughts. And that’s where I’ll be - a memory. ❞

❝ You don’t see death as a destruction, the end, but as change. ❞

❝ I’m afraid of becoming someone else, forgetting who I am. ❞

❝ You’re already becoming someone else, every second of every day. ❞

❝ You’ve never backed down from anything in your life, even when you maybe should’ve. You go through this city knowing a stray bullet could end you while hailing a cab. But that’s never stopped you from taking action, and it won’t stop you now.  ❞

❝ You’ve made an impact. ❞

❝ Not a single thing in this world isn’t in the process of becoming something else. Likewise you. ❞

❝ Never look back. If you gotta kill, kill. If you gotta burn it all to the ground, then let it burn. ❞

❝ Everything has its end. ❞

❝ What gave me away? It’s the hair, isn’t it. ❞

❝ Couldn’t meet somewhere else? Not big on funerals. ❞

❝ No details, no names. No one knows a thing. ❞

❝ Got a feeling we’re not gonna become best friends. No chemistry. ❞

❝ Is that at all relevant? Or just a cheap scare tactic? ❞

❝ We have our own versions of all. We do not use anything from the city. ❞

❝ Technology advances, it cannot be stopped. And now catastrophe, come again. This is sure. And soon. The corporations, they do not see de danger. But we - we will be ready. ❞

❝ To piss Arasaka off enough so they’ll give you a case of deep-muscle lead poisoning? ❞

❝ It’s not YOUR band. You’re no solo act. Gonna crash and pull all of us down, too. ❞

❝ I’m the only one with a vision. So unless you got a better one, like I said - Go Fuck. Your. Self. ❞

❝ Said you weren’t coming tonight. Not If I can help it. ❞

❝ Always gotta shit all over it, don’t you? Any moment that might actually feel good. ❞

❝ What, smoking after sex not Zen enough for you? We gotta rewrite “The Art of War,” too? ❞

❝ You can be such a bastard sometimes. ❞

❝ How is it subtlety goes so for over your head? Weird for an artist. ❞

❝ It’s all a lie. All of it. A ginormous fiction. You’re not a rockerboy. Face it. Oughta join the wired wackos on the corners, frothing at the mouth as they scream “Death to Arasaka!” ❞

❝ Think you’ve seen through me, do you? ❞

❝ We came here to fuck each other’s brains out, not analyze mine. ❞

❝ Not another goddamn word, OK? Just shut up. For once. ❞

❝ You don’t know fuck all about me. This is all we have, all we are. ❞

❝ God, I hate this fucking town. Hate these slimy fucking fixers. Hate this fucking bar. ❞

❝ Where would you rather be now? I could take you away, out to the lands where my clan roams. There aren’t too many jobs out there, but… we’d find some other useful ways to kill time. ❞

❝ Gotta say, that famed charm of yours - overhyped. Or maybe just dulling with age. ❞

❝ Were you going for Dickwipe of the Year? ❞

❝ You’re pushin’ bullshit. Heard more than my share of tales ‘bout runners who ran off to Never-Never Netland. Just never thought you’d be the next to tell me one. ❞

❝ Do you see me as a demon who requires a pact signed in blood? ❞

❝ Your death was of your own making. ❞

❝ This should be obvious to you as you were responsible for her death. ❞

❝ You lack the cred, you lack the gusto - that’s your problem. ❞

❝ It’s the part where I say I despise petty merc-thiefs who think they’re hot shit rebels after settin foot in the Afterlife. Might think you took on Arasaka, but you’re just a bug they scraped off the sole of their boot and tossed in the trash. ❞

❝ Been tryin’ to learn how you’re wired this whole time. To know who I’m dealin’ with. Thought you were just unlucky to hirst. But I kept watchin’ and finally realized what your problem is. You’re dirt from Heywood who found the guts to walk a few extra blocks from home. But turned out the best you can do is chase scavs for ennies. ❞

❝ An arrogant asshole’s no small problem, but it ain’t my biggest. Dyin’ is. ❞

❝ Death by becoming someone else… You didn’t do anything to deserve that fate. ❞

❝ You afraid of death? ❞

❝ Worst thing you can do to a human - rip their identity out of ‘em. That’s all I know. ❞

❝ Know what? Seems to me you need to have a nemesis, at all times. Ideally a crazy powerful one to feed your ego… and the’ve gotta be practically unbeatable - to justify a suicide run. ❞

❝ I’ll decide your fate, fuck all you can do. ❞

❝ I’ve declared war not ‘cause capitalism’s a thorn in my side or outta nostalgia for an America gone by. This war’s a people’s war against a system that’s spiralled outta our control. It’s a war against the fuckin’ forces of entropy, understand?! ❞

❝ Do whatever it takes to stop 'em, defeat 'em, gut 'em. If I gotta kill, I’ll kill. ❞

❝ You still don’t see it. But you will one day. ❞

❝ Two-bit thief, ain’t I? Keep sayin’ so yourself. ❞

❝ Think his pretty eyes landed him that gig? ❞

❝ Far as I can see, you’re tryna get us killed. Really like to know why. ❞

❝ Well, sounds like a suicide run, but done dumber shit than this so… ❞

❝ To make the right decisions with imperfect knowledge… that is how you become the world’s most powerful man. ❞

❝ I sense that you judge me. And yet you have no right to. ❞

❝ There are no clean hands. But it is important how they become dirty. ❞

❝ They gave me what no one else could - values I could honor, live for. This was most important. You dirty your hands for money. I, in the name of principles. ❞

❝ Not everybody wants to change the world. ❞

❝ You oppose the corporations, their order, their world, in a mindless way, yet you offer no worthy alternative. ❞

❝ You show me filthy streets as if no other world exists, as if nothing else is possible. What of the millions who work for corporations and receive stability, safety? ❞

❝ People hate corps more than anything. Can’t blame 'em, elther. ❞

❝ Sometimes I wish to become a nomad. To leave this world, forget everything. ❞

❝ Nomads aren’t lone wolves with egos. Whether they’re blood or not - family comes first. ❞

❝ That day, we both have lost someone important. And we are not at peace with this, so we seek conflict, argue eagerly. ❞

❝ Don’t be smart, got no idea what I feel. ❞

❝ It is the duty of the living to atone for the dead. ❞

❝ You got fuck-all to lose! ❞

❝ You and your fuckin’ sick sense of honor… Today’s your lucky day, though. ❞

❝ Everyone has their role to play in this spectacle. ❞

❝ Think they make these motels especially for royal fuck-ups like us? ❞

❝ Decide to cross a corp, this is what happens. You think you just stepped in shit. Actually, you fell headfirst into a cesspit. ❞

❝ Doesn’t matter how good you are in Night City. On your own, you’re fucked. ❞

❝ My dead body’d make for a pretty lame-ass witness. ❞

❝ It is difficult to choose the right path when each step is a journey into the unknown. But never forget that you are not alone. ❞

❝ I saved your ass, got you outta harm’s way, and you’re still gonna doubt my intentions? ❞

❝ I think fear of death’s got you spewin’ misdirected anger. ❞

❝ Ordinary people always lose. ❞

❝ When the time comes, it’ll be my life for yours. ❞

❝ Hey, Satan kicked me outta hell, thought I’d swing by. ❞

❝ Decide whose truth matters to you more - yours or somebody else’s? ❞

❝ Only place you fall asleep thinkin’ you’re special, then wake up knowin’ you’re no one. ❞

❝ Night City is a city of shadows. Done everything I could to walk clear of 'em for years. ❞

❝ One chapter ends, another begins. ❞

❝ You knew abut didn’t do a thing about it? Why? Suddenly sprout a conscience just yesterday? ❞

❝ Everyone must take their place. ❞

❝ This is your last chance to take matters into your own hands. Understand? ❞

❝ Got a feeling you’re going to regret this decision. And the moment that dawns I won’t be there to help. ❞

❝ Some believe uncertainty is an evil that should be dispelled through divination. Others claim it’s change that is evil. But that isn’t true either. ❞

❝ Every minute of every day, we each be come someone new. ❞

❝ We shouldn’t fear change itself, but only who we might change into. ❞

❝ Betraying a friend - you can’t justify that. ❞

❝ Got no right to judge me. ❞

❝ This is why I have remained outside, uninvolved. So as no to have to make decisions such as these. ❞

❝ I believe has just begun. ❞

❝ Watch your tone or it will be you who will find it hard to walk. ❞

❝ Sometimes you have to look the truth right in the eye. ❞

❝ You have… a very honest look. ❞

❝ Symbols are more resilient than you think. ❞

❝ No matter what happens… you must trust me. ❞

❝ Either you let yourself be fooled like children, or you were guided by opportunism.  ❞

❝ Violent delights with violent ends. ❞

❝ He once told me anything of value is only a flag blowing in the wind. And wind is fear. ❞

❝ If planting bombs is not enough, what do you do? You become the bomb. ❞

❝ Fate is a fickle mistress, isn’t she? ❞

❝ You betrayed yourself. ❞

❝ We’re a tangled web, you and me. ❞

❝ What is perfect requires no change. ❞

❝ I did not come with empty hands. We must speak about your options. ❞

❝ Got no idea how sweet it is to be free. ❞

❝ To ash and dust. ❞

❝ As I see it, they braided this wip that’ll sting 'em. ❞

❝ Just like old times. ❞

❝ No idea how this is gonna end, but let me tell ya - it’ll be one loud morning. ❞

❝ We fought for beauty. Not knowin’ what was good or true, was only the beautiful that meant a damn thing to us. ❞

❝ Can’t turn back time ever - but, you can always start over. ❞

❝ Their generation - made of a different mettle. ❞

❝ Just promise me one thing, asshole. That you won’t forget me. ❞

❝ Self-confidence worthy of a legend. Or of someone risking it all. ❞

He was quiet for the most part, making sure to check the expiration date of certain products and even checking the freshness of any fruits and vegetables to make sure they were freshly harvested and clean.

Don also made sure to watch out for any threats in the area with Vaggie, leaving Alastor alone since he could spook off any dangers if they saw him.

The hotel guard returned back to Vaggie as his basket was getting full.

"Yeah I think we should get another. Are you sure you can handle another?" Vaggie asks, as she thinks Don was doing most of the manual labor. Sure, he was use to doing eveything for them at the hotel, at least she could lighten the load and take a basket.

"Should I push the other cart for you?"
