THE PHYSICIAN / NURSE

❝ i know this hurts but i need you to breathe, we're almost done. ❞

❝ can you open your eyes for me? ❞

❝ how long have you been experiencing those symptoms? ❞

❝ i can't help you unless you tell me the truth. ❞

❝ i know you wanna get discharged and go home, but we have to keep you for observation just a little longer. ❞

❝ i know you're scared, but you're in the right place. we're gonna do everything we can to make you better. ❞

❝ next time, call your general practioner or come see us sooner. google is not a reliable source. ❞

❝ just a few more stitches and we're done. ❞

❝ does it hurt when i touch here? ❞

❝ we're gonna get you fixed up, i promise. ❞

❝ i'd appreciate it if you could sit still and let me work, please. ❞

❝ sorry, could you repeat that last part for me? ❞

❝ is there anybody we can call for you? ❞

❝ it'll be a long road to recovery, do you have anyone at home to help? ❞

❝ it's a sprain. we'll get you a brace. ❞

❝ it does look like it's fractured, we're gonna get some imaging, okay? ❞

❝ you wanna see your x-rays? ❞

❝ bad news is its broken. good news, it's a clean break. with proper care and some physical therapy to follow up, it should heal well. ❞

❝ so you are going to need surgery. ❞

❝ don't worry, it's noninvasive and outpatient. ❞

❝ it is an invasive surgery, but we have some of the finest surgeons on the case. ❞

❝ we're a teaching hospital, is it okay if i let some student doctors observe? ❞

❝ i'm actually new. this is my first day. ❞

❝ i've never done this procedure before—well, except on cadavers. ❞

❝ that was unprofessional, i apologize. ❞

❝ tell me what's going on today? ❞

❝ you wanna tell me how you managed to get a gunshot wound like this? ❞

❝ that is a nasty laceration, what happened? ❞

❝ you know your blood type? ❞

❝ i know you haven't had the best of luck before, but i'm a new face. fresh ears. i am listening, i promise. ❞

❝ i'm sorry you've had a bad experience. i promise i believe you. ❞

❝ any pre-existing conditions we should know about? ❞

❝ how many fingers am i holding up? ❞

❝ we're gonna need to draw some blood. ❞

❝ you're right. i should've listened. ❞

❝ you need to listen to what i'm saying. ❞

❝ i know it sounds really scary, but we see it all the time. ❞

❝ it's manageable and you'll be able to live with it. but you have to follow the treatment plan. ❞

❝ if you keep moving like that it's gonna hurt more. please sit still. ❞

THE PATIENT

❝ honestly it doesn't hurt that much. ❞

❝ uhhh...that's not? normal, right...? ❞

❝ i'm sorry you said i'm gonna have to do what? ❞

❝ sorry, uh. could you repeat that? i'm nervous i wasn't really listening. ❞

❝ i hope it's not cancer. ❞

❝ well doctors do make the worst patients, what can i say. ❞

❝ could you just hold my hand for a second? ❞

❝ there's no one. it's just me. ❞

❝ shit—yeah, that hurts. that really hurts. ❞

❝ can i get outta here any time soon? ❞

❝ you look kinda young to be a doctor. ❞

❝ i thought i was fine but it just kept getting worse. ❞

❝ could i get something for the pain? ❞

❝ no—no drugs. please. ❞

❝ you're telling me it's 'just stress'? what's that supposed to even mean? ❞

"Yes? If you don't want to, I'm sure I can find some other way to entertain myself without you. It's not easy but I have been getting better at it. Sort of have to around here, I'm not fighting Vaggie for who needs to get fucked more." He mused as he closed the door to his room behind himself.

The Amazing Digital Circus Sentence Starters (2 of 2)

A mixed bag of normal quotes from the cast, funny quotes, and lines that deeply resonated with me. (Mainly from 1 to 7, excluding Caine) Some quotes adjusted or tweaked with extra text for rp context.

Zooble:

🎪; "Uh, I- What are you talking about?" 🎪; "Will you stop doing that?" 🎪; "I.. would rather not." 🎪; "I've already told you what my problem is. You just never remember because.. Oh, never mind." 🎪; Ugh, forget it. You're probably not even listening." 🎪; "I don't like.. myself." 🎪; "I just want to find something that feels.. good." 🎪; "Uh, who's therapy session is this, again?" 🎪; "Why did you think I would like that?" 🎪; "I'm not gonna be a wage slave for fun." 🎪; "So, what? I'm sure we'll find something that works eventually." 🎪; "Looks like this one was a home run, eh?" 🎪; "Am I NOT supposed to be hearing you?" 🎪; "..I know there's a implication there but I can't be fucked to figure it out." 🎪; "What do you mean when you say that? You have like, an actual point? Or are you just talking?" 🎪; "Wait, that's just it? "Here's guns and have fun"?" 🎪; "You're a human. You're not [ his / her / their ] toy." 🎪; "The only "you" that you should care about is the real you. You have to choose to love yourself, even if it doesn't make sense. It's not natural, it's intentional." 🎪; "Whatever happens.. I've got your back if you've got mine."

Kinger:

🎪; "Oh, Thank God you're okay. You didn't experience any game show hosts in there, did you?" 🎪; "..I'm sorry, could you speak up? I couldn't quite make that out." 🎪; "You look beautiful, honey.." 🎪; "I'm normally not too good with memories. But being surrounded by darkness always.. brings me back to a certain time." 🎪; "Sometimes it all just feels… pointless. But, it's not.. not if you have people who care about you." 🎪; "Good memories can do a lot. Hold onto them.. and cherish the people around you. You never know when they'll be gone." 🎪; "In this world, the worst thing you can do is.. make someone think they're not wanted or loved." 🎪; "Well.. How about we try.. Not thinking about it?" 🎪; "All right, team! I may not know what's going on, or who is going on, or when is going on, or why is going on.. but I do know where is going on, and it's out on that field. So, let's go break some tailbones, team!" 🎪; "I'm right behind you, aren't I?" 🎪; "It sounds to me like you put a lot of pressure on yourself to be there for everyone, and when you're not, you beat yourself up for it." 🎪; "..Do you hate yourself?" 🎪; "I hated myself. I couldn't help but hate myself for the things I thought I was responsible for." 🎪; "I thought I'd lost everything. But then.. you showed up. And my outlook just.. changed." 🎪; "There are always ways to show you care without ruining it for yourself over it. You need to look out for yourself in all this, too." 🎪; "Oh, yeah! I love pressing buttons! You, uh, want me to press one of those two?"

Jax:

🎪; "By the way, I may have left something in your room today, so let me know if you find it." 🎪; "Be quiet, I can't hear the escalator." 🎪; "Ooh, violence." 🎪; "When we catch up to 'em, I'll jump over, crawl inside, and shoot 'em repeatedly until they're unrecognizable." 🎪; "You're violating my ears with your clap-back." 🎪; "Aren't you supposed to be submissive and agreeable?" 🎪; "Gotta say, this is a lot more anti-climactic than I was hoping it'd be." 🎪; "I'm so unbelievably disappointed right now." 🎪; "I like you better when you're sad." 🎪; "You're drunk or something." 🎪; "Democracy sucks." 🎪; "..Did I pick a bad time?" 🎪; "Slice-of-life animes are always the worst ones, it's embarrassing!" 🎪; "If you tell someone they're loved and appreciated everyday it just, kinda loses all meaning." 🎪; "I wanna kill that guy." 🎪; "I don't wanna hear that! I want you DEAD!" 🎪; "No way. Are we FINALLY having this conversation?" 🎪; "Wait, what am I doing? I wasn't paying attention." 🎪; "That's.. kinda cringe." 🎪; "Oh my GOD! Are you seriously gonna blame me for something that everybody else did too?!" 🎪; "..I'd move on. And probably forget about you." 🎪; "Geez, you really can't take a joke, can you?" 🎪; "Oh, here we go. Here we go! Because I didn't fight back, that means I secretly care about you?!" 🎪; "You are my playthings, and I get JOY out of making you suffer! I'm the one who causes pain for FUN! If I led you on, it was just to make this part hurt you more." 🎪; "There's nothing more to me. So please.. just stop looking." 🎪; "You just lie about everything, don't you?!"

Caine:

    7:00 pm

If nobody hears you, are you really around?

All that I ever wanted was a really tight hug

I don't want what I want, feels bad to feel good

A brand-new beginning again I'm already done

The future is static

So just get wrecked, I guess

It's kinda sad if this is you at your best, I guess

It's not fun anymore

I'm kinda bored so let's go fuck shit up, c'mon

Let's go out

Soap

Wouldn't you like to see where I went to high school?

You should've heard the way I spoke last night

I feel so beaten up and bruised

I don't know what I'm gonna do

I can't keep anything at all

Can you imagine being back in high school?

You should've called but I guess so should I

I never asked for this

I don't know what I wanted, I didn't think it was this

Feel Better

I don't wanna feel better

No one's ever gonna love me like that again

I don't wanna get over you

I wanna sit with you in bed

I'd give anything to miss you again

I don't wanna get over it

I wanna get under it instead

Or I'm just really fuckin' selfish and really fuckin' lost

But someone loved me, someone fucking loved me

Someone fucking loved me and I fuckin' loved them too

Goddamn it, I was worth something,

I fuckin' learned something

I had a right to die, a right to live, a right to choose, too

Of course, I don't wanna feel better!

the sound of your voice is the only lullaby that works on me

but why would i wish for you to change?

you my darling reinvent the divine and gods pale before you

i wish i could stay by your side long after we’ve died

but mine will be a loving kind of haunting, my love, i will hold your hand then too

all you desire to do with yourself, may it bring you the peace you deserve

i wish i could put into words how knowing you has saved my life

and i’d do it a million times over, i promise you that, if it eases your heart

let me take some of that burden upon myself, your shoulders must be aching

i think the air tastes different ever since i met you, clearer, cleaner

i’d like to save the world, i guess, you live in it, after all

what evil could possibly keep me away from you?

i’d rather you stayed, instead, let the world handle its own saving

you mustn’t go that far, not for me, never for me

i wish for your safety and nothing more, there is no life without you

sit a while, won’t you? the sun feels warmer when you’re sitting next to me

i feel all that is sharp softens into a sigh when you speak

it’s a release of the heart, whenever i see you, i feel as though i’m returned to me

the future seems easier to face when we face it together

i don’t blame you, oh no, i see what they did to you, you fought back well

well, and if the world brings you only pain, then, burn it

oh but divinity is nothing, i’d smite angels for your smile

if it makes breathing easier, i can get rid of a few more

oh no, no, no you’ve suffered too much, let me handle this, let me handle them

i feel no anger, i find no reason to, you bring me peace unlike i’ve ever experienced before

though i do feel anger every time i see what they make you go through

i can re-invent the world itself if you’d like, just say the world

ah but a god does not have what you have, a god does not shine as brightly as you do

the divine shuddered i think when they saw you get ever closer so surpassing them
