Eyes like Coal

Sometimes it's hard to get in depth with your muse and their backstory, because you can't figure out how to bring those things up with others. Here are a couple of starters intended to make things a little more personal!

"What's holding you back?"

"I'm not comfortable with this conversation."

"Will you /ever/ be comfortable with this conversation?"

"Let me in sometime!"

"It's not that easy, you know."

"Help me understand."

"It's hard to connect with someone when all they do is push you away."

"Why are you always so cold?"

"Why are you always so happy?"

"Are you really happy now?"

"Who hurt you this badly to make you this way?!"

"What, did your ex mess you up that badly?!"

"Why do you keep fighting it any time you feel?"

"It's a problem, I get it."

"This is all kinds of messed up."

"That's not exactly a good coping method."

"So what happened, with your parents, really?"

"What was your childhood like?"

"Everyone has at lest a little bit of mommy/daddy issues. It's nothing to be ashamed of."

"My parents aren't exactly perfect models, either."

"You were bullied? What for?"

"Was it hard? Coming out, I mean."

"You can't just run away all the time."

"You can't just hide all the time."

"Are you still thinking about them?"

"I'm not the enemy here. But this makes me wonder who the real one is for you."

"Is the reason you're so cold and defensive because you feel threatened?"

"How long has it been since you last spoke to them?"

"You never talk about it, why?"

"How come you're so different around them?"

"It's like you don't have a care or worry in the world."

"You seem so perfect. I don't get it."

"What was your ex like?"

"I don't think I was ever good enough for them."

"Are you not comfortable being intimate?"

"Why don't you feel comfortable being intimate?"

"Letting someone see you that vulnerable, it's a scary thing."

"Are you scared of being hurt?"

"Have you ever been taken advantage of?"

"Why are you afraid of saying I love you?"

"I never understood how someone could say those words so easily."

"You're hurting others the way you've been hurt in the past, don't you think that's ironic?"

"You use people to make yourself feel better."

"I'm scared of being used again..."

"Losing someone isn't easy, but you're making it harder than it needs to be."

"How long has it been since you lost them?"

"You're too attached."

"I'm not attached, I'm just comfortable with what I'm familiar to."

"Maybe the real reason you're so controlling is because, deep down you'd rather have them in your grasp than lose them."

"'Greater good?' I am your wife/husband! I'm the greatest good you are ever gonna get!"

"Where.Is.My.Super.Suit?"

"It will be bold! Dramatic!"

"No capes!"

"I didn't know the baby's powers so I covered the basics."

"The public is in danger!"

"_______ doesn't have any powers."

"Well, (s)he'll look fabulous anyway."

"We survived but we're dead!"

"This is a hobo suit, darling."

"I never look back, darling! It distracts from the now."

"And it can also withstand a temperature of over 1000 degrees."

"That's a new feature."

"Look at me when I'm talking to you, _______!"

"Stop right now, or you're fired!"

"Do not change the subject, _______! We're discussing your attitude!"

"No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again."

"You mean you killed off real heroes so that you could pretend to be one?"

"See? Now you respect me, because I'm a threat."

"Oh, ho ho! You sly dog! You got me monologuing!"

"My God, you've gotten fat."

"Normal? What do you know about normal?"

"The only normal one is _______, and (s)he's not even toilet trained!"

"_______... this is the third time this year you've been sent to the office."

"Sometimes I just want it to stay saved!"

"Honey, you know why we can't do that."

"You always say 'Do your best', but you don't really mean it."

"The last thing you need is temptation."

"Pull-yourself-together!"

"I was wrong to treat you that way. I'm sorry..."

"Fight! Win!"

"Well, not every superhero has powers, you know."

"I work alone."

"I am your biggest fan."

"And your outfit is totally ridiculous!"

"We get there when we get there!"

"You can't count on anyone, especially your heroes."

"_______, it's great to see you, but I gotta tell you, I've got no idea what you're talking about."

"Yes, words are useless!"

"Yeah. No school like the old school."

"I'm always beneath you, but nothing is beneath me!"

"While what? I watch helplessly from the sidelines? I don't think so."

"I can't lose you again!"

"Your identity is your most valuable possession."

"They will kill you if you give them the chance."

"I hereby declare war on peace and happiness!"

"(S)He starts monologuing."

"Yammering! I mean, the guy has me on a platter and he won't shut up!"

"Just like old times, huh _______?"

"Luck favors the prepared."

"(S)He puts thumbtacks on my stool."

"It's not my fault! _______ ran away and I knew I'd get blamed for it..."

"_______, you're making weird faces again."

"That was the best vacation ever!"

"I should have told you I was fired, I admit it. But I didn't want you to worry."

"To tell you the truth, I'd rather go bowling."

"You gotta admit this is cool! Just like a movie!"

"Valuing life is not weakness."

"If you haven't noticed, _______, we're not doin' so hot either."
