some triggering content may be present! (such as mentions of suicide) feel free to change pronouns / terms / tense as needed!
❛ How long did you think you were inside? ❜
❛ All work and no play, it sounds…not healthy. ❜
❛ I thought you were gone. ❜
❛ I don’t know where it was, or…what it was. ❜
❛ You must be able to tell me something. ❜
❛ I deserve a better explanation than no explanation. ❜
❛ I saw you. I recognized you. Your face. ❜
❛ I don’t feel very well. ❜
❛ Stay with me, baby. I’m right here with you. ❜
❛ You must be feeling dreadful. It’s a hangover from the sedative you were given. ❜
❛ I want to know what the fuck I’m doing here. ❜
❛ Did he ever mention where he was going, what he was doing? ❜
❛ It’s not easy to move on. ❜
❛ We have many theories, few facts. ❜
❛ We need to come to an agreement about what to do with you. ❜
❛ You’re not going to let me go home? ❜
❛ Is that what you want? To go home? ❜
❛ I was just looking at the moon. It’s always so weird seeing it like that, in the daylight. ❜
❛ I get really turned on when you patronize me. It’s really hot. ❜
❛ You didn’t tell me where you’re heading this time. ❜
❛ I know there’s something strange about this mission. ❜
❛ If you step outside and you look up, we’ll be looking at the same stars. ❜
❛ Don’t you think we should make friends? ❜
❛ You know, I always see you here alone. ❜
❛ The people here put themselves to sleep in the fetal position making cooing noises. It’s freaky, you know. ❜
❛ Do you have to hit on everyone, like all the time? ❜
❛ Under the circumstances, I think I’m allowed to roll the dice a few more times. ❜
❛ What do you think happened to them? ❜
❛ Well, there are two theories of what went wrong. One, something kills them. Two, they go crazy and kill each other. ❜
❛ I am so sorry. And I know what I have to do. ❜
❛ You want to come with us. ❜
❛ You can fight. You can learn. You can save him. ❜
❛ That was a brave choice. ❜
❛ You gotta give me a second. I’m a little disoriented. ❜
❛ We did a food inventory. From the depletion, we’ve been out here for at least three or four days. ❜
❛ So we’ve got no compass, no comms, no coordinates, and no landmarks. ❜
❛ Let’s pack up and get moving. We’ve already lost a lot of the day. ❜
❛ Anything interesting in there? ❜
❛ Okay, just breathe. It’s okay. You’re just fine. ❜
❛ Is it possible these were hallucinations? ❜
❛ It was dreamlike. ❜
❛ Sometimes it was beautiful. ❜
❛ All other lives feel like a lifetime ago. ❜
❛ Volunteering for… this. It’s not exactly something you do if your life is in perfect harmony. ❜
❛ We’re all damaged goods here. ❜
❛ More mutations. They’re everywhere. ❜
❛ There’s beds and bags. You think people are here? ❜
❛ Let’s not jump to conclusions. ❜
❛ "For those that follow.“ I believe that means us. ❜
❛ Okay, so we know what happened to the last group. They went insane. ❜
❛ That was a trick of the light. ❜
❛ I don’t want to stay here tonight. ❜
❛ It’s too late in the day for us to move on. ❜
❛ I gotta leave a day early. ❜
❛ The mystery unraveling? ❜
❛ I’m at least as freaked as [name]. I’m just hiding it better. ❜
❛ What’re you doing up? Not supposed to relieve me until 3:00. ❜
❛ I’m done sleeping for the night. ❜
❛ I’d say you’re confusing suicide with self-destruction. ❜
❛ Almost none of us commit suicide… and almost all of us self-destruct. In some way, in some part of our lives. ❜
❛ Isn’t self-destruction coded into us? Programmed into each cell? ❜
❛ Wake up. Something’s happening. ❜
❛ [name] was next to me. Something took her. ❜
❛ We have to go back. ❜
❛ I’m fine going on my own. You just need to decide whether you’re coming with me or not. ❜
❛ And thanks for the fucking backup. ❜
❛ You’re saying we get out by going deeper? ❜
❛ You lied to them. ❜
❛ I didn’t know what going back meant. Why it would be safer than going forward. ❜
❛ Just… leave me the fuck alone. ❜
❛ That doesn’t make any sense. ❜
❛ It’s literally not possible. ❜
❛ This was a mistake. ❜
❛ What’s really going on here? You think that something may have happened to him? ❜
❛ You think somehow he’s found out about our affair. Has he found out? ❜
❛ I’m not interested in talking, or in anything you have to say. Just get dressed and get out. ❜
❛ You know, it’s not me you hate, it’s yourself. ❜
❛ You lying bitch! ❜
❛ Why didn’t you tell us? ❜
❛ So nothing’s confirmed. Everything’s on their word.
❛ You’re a liar.
❛ Did you kill [name]? Did you lose your shit? ❜
❛ Do you think I’ve lost my shit and we’re gonna fuck each other up? ❜
❛ Oh, God. When I look at my hands, and my fingerprints…I can see them moving. ❜
❛ I’m not the one tied to a chair. You are. ❜
❛ We are disintegrating. Our bodies as fast as our minds. Can’t you feel it? ❜
❛ The person that started this journey won’t be the person that ends it. I want to be the one that ends it. ❜
❛ It’s… in me. ❜
❛ It will be in all of us. ❜
❛ Imagine dying frightened and in pain, and having that as the only part of you which survives. I wouldn’t like that at all. ❜
❛ [name] wants to face it. You want to fight it. But I don’t think I want either of those things. ❜
❛ One by one, all gone, except you. How do you explain that? ❜
❛ I had to come back. ❜
❛ What was I? Was I you? Were you me? ❜
❛ My flesh moves like liquid. My mind is just cut loose. I can’t bear it. ❜
❛ You ever seen a phosphorus grenade go off? They’re kind of bright. Shield your eyes. ❜
❛ If you ever get out of here, you find [name] ❜
❛ We spoke. What was it we said? ❜
❛ It’s not like us. It’s unlike us. ❜
❛ I don’t know what it wants. Or if it wants. ❜
❛ So it was alien. Can you describe its form? ❜
❛ It came here for a reason. ❜
❛ If what you encountered was once alive, it seems it’s now dead. ❜
❛ You aren’t [name]…are you? ❜

❝ son of the mayor, hmm, ❞ felicia hums, taking his hand in hers and giving it a gentle shake. her thumb brushes against a ring on his index finger & the desire to gently slide it off is a strong one, but she leaves it lie. tonight is about reconnaissance only, she doesn't need to draw unnecessary attention to herself and as the osborn heir, harry isn't her ordinary fat cat more concerned with copping a feel than whatever she has to say. besides, there's a kindness in his eyes that captures her attention.
❝ no need to apologise, i'm certain we haven't met before, i'd remember a face like yours. ❞ all these rich snobs are the same. flirt a little, compliment them and they're putty in her hands. if this harry osborn turns out to be a prick then she's got a date with all the shiny things in his home. still, something in the back of her mind wants him to be different, a black cat in his own right. ❝ i'm felicia, its a pleasure to meet you, harry. ❞
INT . THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM . NIGHT .
" i feel like i should know you ... " harry says , with a squint of his eyes and a finger raised in contemplation , trying to find her face in the crowd in his mind . the problem was , there are too many people in that crowd by now : from his close friends and less closer colleagues , acquaintances from university , and the thousands of people from his father's campaign and constituents . he could have stood there for hours thinking and thinking , finding the familiar glint in her eyes and the curl of her lips . that's when he realized how foolish he might have looked , staring at her for far too long .
so with a shake of his head , and an embarrassed cough , he tried to recover himself . he even offered the most sincere and apologetic of smiles that he can muster . " sorry , that was probably very rude . let me try that again . " he says , nervously fixing the lapels of his suit , then reaching out a hand . " i'm harry osborn . though , if we do know each other already , please feel free to ridicule me . i most likely deserve it . "
