I'll be right behind you

Rules / Mun/ Muse

Independent Antagonist Dispatch OC, channeled by Cast. Selective with varying activity

She tries, tries hard not to come off like she's nervous. She is though, even if it only shows itself in a subtle tilt of her head, a glance over the shoulder. Hard not to feel like the hair isn't standing up on the back of her neck. "I had no idea I had such a gentleman for an admirer. Not often I get the wine and dine treatment. The usual suspects tend to air more on the bloodthirsty and fucked up nutcase side of things."

The jury is still out on the mental situation for this one.

Either way, her options are limited. "Well mister journalist, I would be lying if I said you didn't have my attention. But you'll have to forgive me, I have a three-date rule before I jump into bed with someone. So…"

She swallows the lump down her throat, the anxiety that she is about to make another critical mistake. The same way she did with Shroud. But she steels her nerves because she'd have to be a complete moron to not understand the push and pull. She needs a landing. This could be as good as it gets. As long as she minds her back and keeps the mask and a knife close, she should be fine.

"You have connections in the criminal sector, and that makes you a valuable source of information. I am somewhat of a... middle man in arbitrating information". He needs to select his words carefully, too much flattery and the roses smell like bullshit after all, pull the curtain too far back and the sites beyond could also scare them off.

"There is a fun little legal clause to the hero organizations that should villain's tech that is not considered a weapon of mass destruction can be repurposed for said organization... Well, there is an other heroic industry besides SDN trying to get their foot in the door. Now, if they knew who had what going for them, made the appropriate moves at the appropriate time to acquire said tech well- That could put them at SDN's level".

To The Object of Their Affection

Is there really no chance for us?

Can’t you just pretend?

I know you don’t feel the same but...can I at least stay near you?

What do they have that I don’t?

Is the idea of my feelings for you really so disgusting that you can’t even look at me anymore?

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make things awkward between us.

I never asked to fall in love with you!

I’ll never stop caring for you, but it’s too painful to be around you anymore.

I don’t understand, if there’s no one else then why can’t you give me a chance?

How can you not be interested? Everyone is interested in me!

Stop! Just stop talking about them! Do you know how much it hurts to hear?

I just want you to be happy, it’s fine if it’s not with me.

I love you, and I know you don’t feel the same, but I had to tell you.

You...asked them out? Oh…how nice.

Was this...not a date?

What did I want to tell you? Oh, it’s nothing. Tell me more about your date.

Just give up on them already! They don’t love you, but I do!

Can we just go back to how we used to be?

It’s okay if you don’t feel the same, I have enough love to give even if it’s not returned.

You don't have to love me back. Just... please don't hate me for loving you.

Am I really that easy to look past?

Don't look at me with pity. Anything but that.

I'm not asking for forever. Just one night.

Just tell me you hate me. Make it easy for me to walk away

From The One Who Doesn’t Feel the Same

You’re a good friend, but I’m afraid that’s all I feel for you.

I never meant to hurt you, I just don’t feel the same.

Don't treat me like the villain for not feeling the same.

I can't force myself to love you, and it's cruel of you to expect me to try.

I'm sorry I can't be who you want me to be.

You're falling in love with a version of me that doesn't exist.

I never wanted to be the source of your sadness.

I hope someday you can find someone who’ll make you happy, and I’m sorry it can’t be me.

Did you really think I would ever be interested in you?

You’ll always be my friend, but we come from entirely different worlds. It wouldn't work.

I’m sorry if I gave you the wrong impression.

We can still be friends.

I'm sorry, but I love someone else.

Telling a Friend

I think if they just didn’t return my feelings I could handle it, but knowing they’re with someone else…

They're happy and I can't help but hate them for it.

I didn’t think love could hurt so much.

Why do I always fall for the ones I can never have?

How can you tell me to let them go? You’re supposed to fight for love!

You're breaking your heart over someone who wouldn't even notice if you walked away.

I guess I thought they'd notice me if I hung around long enough.

It's okay, as long as I can be by their side.

As long as they're happy, it's okay if they don't feel the same.

How do I get over a relationship I never even had?

I'd rather have the crumbs of their attention than nothing at all.

They’d never let me live it down if they knew.

It doesn't hurt as much as it used to.

I guess I was the moth and they were the flame. But fire burns if you get too close.

Watching From The Outside

Why do you keep doing this to yourself, you know they don’t feel the same!

Come on, we'll have a nice movie night and you can forget all about them.

This isn’t a movie. They aren't going to wake up one day and suddenly realize you're the one.

Even if they felt the same, you know it would never be allowed.

They didn’t forget to text you back, they just don’t care.

Someone who loves you doesn’t invite you on a date and then tell you everyone else they asked that night said no.

Look I’m not asking you to marry the next person you see, just give some other people a chance.

I tired of listening to you make excuses for how poorly they treat you.

They smiled at you, and you’ve already planned a wedding in your head. Please come back to earth.

If they're not interested in you it's their lose, why dwell on it?
