OC In 15
Thank you for the tag @the-down-upside-finch!!! This is so fun!!!!
Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!
I uh. Did all of the POV Quartet. So I will tag people up top and put it all below a readmore LMAO. Tagging @saintedseraph, @k-v-briarwood, @sentfromwolves, @veneritia, and @scribe-scott!!
Rosamund:
"It's not true. I'm not- I'm not bad. It was-wasn't my idea. I ju-just want to be wi-with the people I lo-love. Please."
"Roland. Teach me how to fight. [...] For me. For my peace of mind. For the worst case scenario."
"You're doing this to ensure I don't put an end to the war you're so desperately trying to start, and I won't stand for it."
"Magic isn't a sickness, mother. I'm proud to have it."
"I thought we were in no danger here?" ["Well, I certainly hope so, but there's no harm in being prepared."] "So the knights should be at the dinner."
["I will not let you ruin your future."] "You are ruining my future. I've seen it."
"Have you ever gotten the feeling you're seeing someone for the last time?"
"I'd rather have died in that fire than continue to be tied to a nation of small-minded slaughterers."
"You all fear magic. My mother did, too. But keep this in mind for if we ever meet again. You are no longer negotiating with a like-minded Sivonese noble. You are dealing with a mage."
"I want to be nothing like [my mother]. Lucky for me, that means being a decent person."
"I won't let it happen. I will not fall to this."
"That's very interesting, but I'm not giving up until I make some progress."
"Run. Before I stop being a coward and kill you."
"I didn't mean to hide my position from you, I simply... didn't want you to be intimidated."
["You can't trust me already."] "But I'd like to."
Christie:
"Genes don't dictate guilds. Anyone can do anything."
"I'm not quitting. I may be young, but I'm not quitting. I'm just... frustrated."
"I don't care if she doesn't like me. I'm not going to stay away from you just because she wants me too."
"Val Thorne! He's an investigator, hunting down criminals all around Exosto. He's from Crown's Ridge, and I've been to some of the places he goes to in his books. Sometimes he gets details wrong, though, but that's okay. It's a fictional version of Exosto. He doesn't have to worry about things like diplomatic passage to get into Rasduk."
[debating if someone is flirting] "I think it's too early to throw it out as a theory, though. You may come across more evidence to support it. But I'd consult the opinion of an expert."
["Secret passage? Where to?"] "I don't know. I'm about to find out."
"I'm not afraid of anything. But I know it's important to be safe, and even more important to be calm, so you can handle if things go badly or if you find something gross, like a skeleton."
"I will be a great mage. Just you wait."
"I don't care if they don't want me. They never came and found me, so I don't know if they loved me that much. But I at least want to know who they are. If they look weird, like me. That kind of thing."
"I have to tell her. I don't— Don't want her to think less of me. I have to tell her."
"I don't want [Maurelle] to fall behind. I'm fine. Goodbye."
"If they're worried about time… n-no offense, but why would they hire an Investigator who is magic-averse?"
"Don't say stuff like that. That's for movies when people are about to die."
"Do you ever wish you could do magic?"
"I told you I'll stay safe. I'm not leaving."
Addison:
"My Lady. Would you like to crash this party? And this whole engagement, as it were?"
["You're the witch house guy?"] "Glad to see that's become my reputation."
["Rulers should always be honest. That's what Miss Fairchild always says."] "And she's right, but guess what? Most rulers aren't. And I'm not a ruler yet."
[to a bird] "You're a cute little thing, you know. Strange, but cute."
["What did you say about stabbing?"] "I gave them plenty of warning. And no one got hurt."
"I promise you'll be safe. I'll set you down just as soon as you'll be able to move by yourself."
"Luxurious or not, [the castle is] still a prison."
"I'm sorry? Just like them? You can just say magic-averse, Miss Fairchild, it's not a dirty word. And for your information, yes! I do plan on being just like them! Is it such a terrible thing to be? I suppose you'd think so, having magic all your life. You've never known what it's like to be without it! I'd pity you if the truth wasn't that it's terrible and limiting."
"Up for an adventure? I'm looking for a witch."
"Katamar, Dimitio, Vunwra. Guide me to what I'm seeking. Do not let me go home empty handed. I was put on this path for a reason, you put me here, did you not?"
"Funny story. I did almost die."
"I believe in all of you. I think you should at least try for what you want. It's better to try and fail than to not try at all."
["That's an antique, not a weapon."] "I think it'll do."
"I didn't meant to kill him - oh, Silpa. Oh, Silpa, I killed someone."
"I'm sorry for all that. Tha-Thank you for helping me. I promise it won't happen again."
Ashton:
"I can't have it happen again, Sutton. I want to help you, but I can't lose another town."
"Stay here. Stay hidden. I'll try and get them away from here. Keep away from the windows, and do not go outside until I come back alone. Understand?"
[lying] "I've never met a mage. I wouldn't know if I saw one."
"I'm coming with you. If… you don't mind the company."
"I'll be back. As soon as I'm able, I'll be back."
"This is a mountain, Sutton, the last thing you're going to see up here is fish."
["Anything [alcoholic] I can get you?"] "Something lighter, please."
"I can't imagine anyone being afraid of your magic."
"Hey, you're hurting yourself. You're not going to get out that way."
"If I'd known you'd react like this, I would've tried to find something else. You don't have to apologize for a reaction like this."
"How am I supposed to help you if I don't know what to avoid? If I don't know why we're doing this in the first place?"
"You were a kid asking for help. That does not put you at fault for their disappearance, you did the right thing. Anyone would have done the same."
"Twenty years, and I've been playing the victim this whole time. I'm scared of fire, a-and of rosey-armored knights, and I shouldn't be! I brought it on myself. I have no right to act this way, but I do."
[about magic] "I never thought it would feel like this."
["I've come this far."] "We've come this far."
