"TAKE ME BACK TO EDEN" BY SLEEP TOKEN PROMPTS * assorted lines from the album, some slightly reworked to suit a roleplay format, adjust as necessary
it was no accident.
you keep me sharp and test my worth in blood.
you've got me in a chokehold.
it's all the same to me.
it makes no difference.
i've seen my days unfold.
i've done the impossible.
show me that which i cannot see, even if it hurts me.
show me the way.
you've got my body.
raise me up again.
take me past the edge.
i want to see the other side.
won't you show me what it's like?
did i mistake you for a sign from god?
are you really here to cast me off?
maybe you're here just to turn me on.
i would be lying if i told you that i didn't wish i could be your man.
you won't ever have to talk about it.
i was more than just a body in your passenger seat.
you were more than just somebody i was destined to meet.
i see you go half-blind when you're looking at me.
you gave me nothing whatsoever.
you say you want me, but you know i'm not what you need.
you sit there acting like you know me.
if you had a problem, then you should've told me.
keep an eye on the road.
i can't get enough.
no wonder my ears are still ringing.
you have become the voice in my head.
my life is torn.
are you in pain like i am?
will the pain stop if we go deeper?
i wanna go where nobody else will ever go.
there is always something in the way i wanna have you to myself for once.
you take what you want, then leave.
who made you like this?
tell me you met me in past lives.
won't you come and dance in the dark with me?
anything's better than the way i feel right now.
you make me wish i could disappear.
don't you know i was trying to hold back the darkness?
are you really okay?
you woke me up one night, dripping crimson on the carpet.
i saw it in your eyes.
don't you know i could see it in you even now?
i cannot fix your wounds this time.
i don't believe you when you tell me you are fine.
please don't hurt yourself again.
why are you never real?
i am trembling with fear.
this scar will never fade.
just let me go or take me with you.
do you wish that you loved me?
is there something you give that you will never receive in return?
do you know what it is?
are you trying to live like everything is a lesson to learn?
can you ever forgive yourself?
do you ever believe that we can turn into different people?
it's getting harder to be myself.
for so long, i have waited.
i don't wanna get in your way.
touch me again.
you have got your hooks in me.
you get what you give.
i can hear you say my name.
no one told you where to go.
i'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired.
i need you to see me for what i have become.
we've no idea what we've got until we lose it.
it was no accident.
give me five whole minutes.
call me when you get the chance.
do you remember me?
do you still believe that nothing else matters?
the night belongs to you.
i must be someone new.
you will not be mine.
“You’re my best friend. I can’t imagine spending my life with anyone else.”
“I’m glad I have you here. Being like this is easy with you.”
“At first, having feelings for you was awkward— but now I can’t fathom anything else.”
“I’ve known you for years, (insert name). Can we please drop the pretenses and be honest with each other, for once?”
“I know you don’t feel the same, but I need to get this off my chest.”
“Can you believe how far we’ve come?”
“You’ve been pouting ever since I went on that date. What’s going on?”
“I’m totally not jealous, but this time is for us— please don’t share it with other people.”
“But— you said you’d go there with me. Was that just something you said to make me feel better?”
“Come lie with me, please. I’ve had a bad day— I don’t want to be alone right now.”
“I told her we weren’t dating, but she didn’t believe me.”
“Wait— when did you get so beautiful/handsome/hot?”
“Are you sure you wanna leave the house in that? It’s awfully— revealing.”
“Okay— so maybe this is a date. Is that so bad?”
“Are you— trying to turn me on?”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to call you my girlfriend/boyfriend— it just slipped out.”
“I didn’t mean to kiss you. It just sorta— happened.”
“I had this dream that we were married.”
“I had this dream that we kissed— and a sorta want to try it now.”
“Okay— so maybe I am a little jealous. So what? I can’t help it.”
“Just remember, I’m the one who taught you how to (insert intimate activity).”
“I know this sounds lame— but they’re not good enough for you.”
“Are you saying you want to kiss me?”
“Why are you blushing so hard?”
“I’m actually really offended that you didn’t ask me to go with you.”
“Friends can make-out every now and then— right? That’s not weird or anything.”
“I know we’re not together— but I want you to be my first.”
“I want my first kiss to be special—and you’re the most important person in my life right now. Will you kiss me, if I ask, or would that be too weird?”
“Whoa— umm— will you excuse me? I need to run to the bathroom really quick.”
“Look, I know we’re not together. But— we’re both in good places in our lives, and neither of us have any prospects. Do you think there’s a chance we might — well, we already act like an old, married couple, so—”
“Is it weird if I tell you I could see you as the mother/father of my children?”
“I know we said this was a ‘pretend relationship’— but what if we tried ‘for real’?”
Halsey — Manic Album {Sentence Starters}
“Think I took it way too far.”
“I’m my own biggest enemy.”
“I think I’m making a mistake.”
“I only wanna die some days.”
“Then I’ll just hate everybody.”
“Took my heart and sold it out.”
“Hope a bit of it will be enough.”
“I’ll leave you the dust, my love.”
“I don’t know how you even see.”
“Somehow, I just want you more.”
“And I’m terrified, but I can’t resist.”
“And if they laugh, then fuck ‘em all.”
“I won’t stop ‘til I get where you are.”
“You look at me with eyes so dark…”
“I hope that you hurt more than I do.”
“I was afraid to leave you on your own.”
“Oh my God, there’s no way that’s me.“
“I tried to help you. It just made you mad.”
“Someone, please come and flirt with me.”
“There’s power in the words you whisper…”
“You can take a chance, come take my hand.”
“I’m so glad I never ever had a baby with you.”
“But it seems I’m only clinging to an idea now.”
“That I wasn’t in love then, and I’m still not now.”
“Stuck between the having it all and giving it up.”
“Seems like, now, it’s impossible to work this out.”
“Can’t remember half the time that I’ve been alive.”
“Is it really that strange if I always wanna change?”
“'Cause I don’t need anyone, I don’t need anyone.”
“No, you’re not half the man you think that you are.”
“Bad news, think I’ll probably die before I have you.”
“Got no anger, got no malice, just a little bit of regret.”
“And I can’t remember why the decision wasn’t mine.”
“I spent a long time substituting honest with sarcastic.”
“I know that I love you, but I’m still learning to love myself.”
“It’s crazy when the thing you love the most is the detriment.”
“You should know there’s power in the words you’re thinking.”
“I’m just a fucked up girl who’s lookin’ for my own piece of mind.”
“And in my world, the people on the street don’t know my name.”
“Nothing’s gonna hurt you, baby. Nothing’s gonna make you cry.”
“I know that I’ve done some wrong, but I’m trying to make it right.”
“If I could make you love me, maybe you could make me love me.”
“And you can’t fill the hole inside of you with money, drugs and cars.”
“'Cause you can’t love nothing unless there’s something in it for you.”
“Would you make out with me underneath the shelter of the balcony?“
“It’s still not strong enough to carry the weight of the choices I’ve made.”
“I’m the worst of my enemies and I don’t really know what to do with me.”
“Told me pick my battles and be picking ‘em wise, but I wanna pick 'em all and I don’t want to decide.”
AS SAID BY DAVRIN - PARTY BANTER * assorted banter from dragon age: the veilguard
how safe is it? any reason to be worried?
that's reassuring.
that can't be a coincidence.
i'm the one who left. that's on me.
i don't regret the life i've lived. the things i've seen and done.
sometimes i wish i could have done both.
i made my choice.
i didn't appreciate my life at the time.
i miss the sense of a common purpose.
be careful. the things that pop out of nowhere usually bite you in the ass.
you're on clean-up tonight.
that's the idea.
it's an interesting line of work you're in.
enjoy your nightmare.
it's a good thing you're on our side.
i heard another rumor.
can she be trusted?
we know what we sign up for.
is it true you can control rocks now?
best not to question a gift.
you saved someone's life.
join the club.
i don't see you have a choice.
best way to come to terms with it is to face it.
still got a bad feeling, [name]?
no one was really sure.
i mean this in the kindest, most respectful way possible... no.
want some wine?
more for me. it's a good day for it.
i really should read more.
i thought you hated it out here.
whatever works for you.
don't say i didn't warn you.
no hard feelings.
you can't handle both of us.
what does that mean?
what else goes on there?
how did you survive it?
you like to keep things sparse.
a man who kills people for a living has to be able to move quickly. nowhere is home. everything's temporary.
they hired you?
i don't want to know anymore.
how do you decide when one of your targets deserves to die?
i'm serious. do you just kill anyone?
must be tough to sleep at night.
the things i hunt are pure evil. monsters. there are no shades of grey.
what if your target doesn't deserve to die?
could've fooled me.
maybe i pissed off the wrong guy at a bar.
what if i stole the guy's money?
you're avoiding the question.
i'll pass it on.
it's not about secrecy.
i mean, i get how you feel. but let's make this better, not worse.
you're not so bad yourself.
is there a question in there?
you must've seen stranger.
way i hear it, the city sleeps better with you in it.
seems we both spend our days hunting things most people don't want to know about.
i'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing.
it won't help our reputation, that's for sure.
i remember you.
is that what you call it? i call it a mess.
we're talking about a demon.
oh no, that really happened.
the thrill of the chase gets me out of bed.
i've had your coffee before.
seems like our work's going to overlap.
dragons are monsters.
i can see a day coming where you and i smack the crap out of each other.
i never said they did.
they acted like i rejected them.
i wanted to go my own way, not their way.
i didn't say i was the brightest kid.
never mind. forget i asked.
AS SAID BY ALISTAIR THEIRIN - PARTY BANTER * updated version - assorted banter from dragon age: origins
they say you can get anything here. i once got pick-pocketed.
i don't know if i should take you seriously... but you scare me sometimes.
i locked myself in a cage once when i was a child. for an entire day. ahh... good times.
why do they call it a brothel? there's no broth. or is there?
couldn't you crawl into a bush somewhere and die? that would be great, thanks.
leave me alone.
i know where babies come from!
what would you do if someone told you that they loved you?
food shouldn't be frilly and pretentious like that.
we take our ingredients, throw them into the largest pot we can find, and cook them for as long as possible until everything is a uniform grey color. as soon as it looks completely bland and unappetizing, that's when i know it's done.
we're not going to be mobbed, right? that's not something they do here? mob people?
do you get the feeling things are just getting worse as we go up?
now that's just unnecessary.
i don't think we're alone. i really don't think we're alone.
is it just me, or did i do really badly back there?
excuse me while i begin projectile vomiting.
maybe she was ugly. maybe she had buck teeth. how would we know?
what is that smell? fish? and something else. oh... more fish.
uh-oh. i'm terrible at puzzles.
let's try not to get lost here. places like this can get you turned around.
i think there's something ahead. something big.
i don't even want to imagine where that leads.
you could be an utter moron, for all we know.
it used to get so quiet that i would start screaming until someone came running. i would tell them that i was just checking. you never know, right?
there's a certain allure to danger, isn't there?
i will never get over how quietly you are able to move.
i heard you often seduce your targets.
don't you wish you could have stayed there? to help more people, i mean?
i've never been very good at that. the steeling myself part. i find it better sometimes to just be a little weak. i'm all right with that, really.
i just wanted some advice.
what should i do if... if i think a woman is special...
i am not lost.
do i have a choice?
you find that curious, do you?
that's directed at me, i take it?
have you really been thinking about that all this time?
so let's talk about your mother for a moment.
why do you always go on about how stupid i am? i'm not stupid, am i?
it hurts my manly feelings, you know. all one of them.
you're not even listening to me.
you're joking, right? a five year old could answer that question.
so what's the deal with you and him, anyway? dare i ask?
that... is a ridiculous question.
i figure you'd be the sort who knows all about deception.
it's moments like this when i truly appreciate the difference between you and me.
you're... you're drunk, aren't you?
how do you manage to be constantly drunk? are we even carrying that much alcohol with us?
i guess a romance between you and i is completely out of the question.
you know a lot of big words.
you wouldn't understand.
don't you ever talk? you know, make polite conversation just to put people at ease?
i spy with my little eye... something that begins with... "G"
are you talking to me?
are we under attack?
i don't have to prove anything to you.
we're not exactly traveling in the lap of luxury here.
can you mend it? when we get back to camp?
i might catch a cold.
that's... one way of looking at it.
i have a hard time believing that.
it's not an outlandish question.
you know, of all the mages i've met you have to be the first one i can honestly say i've really liked.
why are you smiling like that?
i wasn't looking at... you know her... hind-quarters... i gazed. glanced... in that direction, maybe, but i wasn't staring... or really seeing anything even.
i hate you. you're a bad person.
i'm not an idiot. well, not most of the time.
you didn't answer my question.
if you aren't telling me, there must be a reason.
do you mind if i ask you a personal question?
have you... had many women in your time?
how do you... woo them? is there a technique?
i like my hair the way it is, thank you.
we aren't talking about this, are we? did i hit my head?
is that a smirk? are you smirking at me?
well aren't you just chock full of useless trivia today.
i suppose you don't care.
so when this is over, what do you intend to do with yourself?
