VILLAINY — KIDNAPPING

"Where am I?!" "What do you want with me!" "You better hope they pay the ransom." "So... how much is the ransom for me? What, just curious!" "Where are they! What did you do with them!" "Try another smart comment and we're gagging you." "The question is not how much you're willing to pay... what are they worth to you?" "Let! Me! Go!" "Ow, fuck, you bit me!" "Don't think about getting the cops involved." "Listen, if you sit still I'm not going to hurt you." "... They're not answering the phone." "Sure, kidnap me, my day literally can't get any worse!" "That wasn't the deal...!" "You said they'd be here!" "Seems like they don't care if you live or die, isn't that messed up?" "Maybe we should send them something for motivation. A finger? Maybe an ear..." "You'll regret messing with my family!" "They left a note..." "Instructions are simple. Fail to pay up and they die." "You're never seeing them again." "I'll do anything, please, just let me see them!" "You're not making this easy are you? Settle down." "Do you know who my dad is?!" "Time's running out."

MACABRE — BLOOD

"I bleed easy." "I feel cold…" "I'll bleed you dry." "I don't feel so good." "Your blood's so warm…" "That's… a lot of blood." "I can't feel my arm/leg." "There's beauty in blood." "Ugh, another nose bleed." "Please help me, please…" "Oh god, what happened here." "What do I do? What do I do?" "Those bruises look terrible!" "Take it out and you're dead." "Ugh… the stench of blood…" "I like my meat bleeding rare." "It's not as bad as it looks…" "Oh god, oh god… I'm bleeding." "I'll drink your blood like wine." "Let me see how bad it is, please." "You're getting blood everywhere." "Ugh… my clothes are glued to me." "You look like you've been run over." "It looks worse than it is, I promise." "Hold your head up and pinch your nose." "You're bleeding through your bandages." "Keep applying pressure, just like that." "There's an art to making someone bleed." "Can you check if I bled through my pants?" "Maybe a busted lip could fix that attitude." "No, you're not fine, you nearly bled out!" "Can't believe I slipped in a blood pool…" "You tore your stitches open, let me fix it." "Mind the blood on the floor, try not to slip." "No, you don't get it; if I see blood, I faint." "You were careless. You left blood at the scene." "I'll gut you like a fish and watch you bleed out." "This is going to hurt, but bleeding out is worse." "What happened in here?! Did someone explode?" "Don't touch me, you got blood all over your hands." "Stop moving for a second, let me staunch the bleed." "You'll make a pretty picture splattered over the room." "I can't stand blood - it's so hard to get out of clothes." "Drip by drip… I'll watch the light fade from your eyes." "Don't close your eyes, look at me okay? You need to stay awake." "Don't move or I'll slit your throat. We don't want that. Not yet." "I watched enough cop shows to know something horrible happened here." "You never forget your first kill, the smell of iron that follows you home." "Can you feel it…? The weight on your chest, the shallowness of every heartbeat?" "The bleeding's internal, so that's good. That's where blood is supposed to be I think." "What part of bed rest didn't you understand? If you sneeze too hard you'll open your wounds again!" "There's something very appealing about someone disheveled and covered in blood, I can't help myself."

MACABRE — GHOSTS

"It's quiet…" "Stay with me." "I can't let go." "You're so cold." "Don't leave me…" "I thought you died!" "Do you hear that…?" "Why are you here…?" "This is where I died." "I'll never let you go." "AH! It moved! It moved!" "What… happened to you?" "Death can't keep us apart." "Are the walls… bleeding?" "Don't freak out: I'm a ghost." "… You don't have a heartbeat." "If I die, I'm haunting your ass." "I am haunted by thoughts of you." "Coming here was a terrible idea!" "Can you see me? Can you hear me?" "No… no, this can't be happening…." "Haunted? I don't believe in that crap." "Is it just me, or did it just get colder?" "Death isn't so bad. Dying's the hard part." "Just wait for me. Wait for me and I'll join you." "Did you hear that? And don't say it was the wind!" "Hey, stop playing with the lights - it's not funny!" "Calm down, this place has been abandoned for years." "When will it be enough? When will you leave me alone!" "I killed you! I killed you! You're supposed to be dead!" "Dude, I'm serious, it moved! Look, look! It's doing it again!" "I heard about this place that was haunted… want to go check it out?"

"They'll never believe you." "Don't try to negotiate now." "You're running out of time." "A cat running out of lives…" "You just made a big mistake…" "Are you afraid? You should be."

"Things are changing around here…" "Don't make me get my hands dirty." "You're not all that smart, are you?" "It's a nice life you've built for yourself." "Don't remember? I can jog your memory." "What's the loudest you ever screamed?" "It would be a shame if they found out." "You haven't told them yet… have you?" "You're dead, you hear me?! You're DEAD!" "I won't say a word… if you buy my silence." "I hope your life is as miserable as you are." "I like you. Really. So don't make me do this." "You're going to be screaming yourself hoarse." "I know everything there is to know about you." "If you want to see them again, do as you're told." "Shh shh shh. No screaming. This is between us two." "You really don't like having all your teeth in place, do you?" "It would be a pity to get your friends involved, wouldn't it?" "They're all suspicious as is. Wonder what would happen if this came up?" "Rules are meant to be followed. You broke them. You know what happens next." "You're hurt? Oh, you're going to be hurting way worse in a second, trust me." "I'm waiting for the day where you mess up and they finally see the good for nothing you really are." "If you ask me, the choice is easy. I'm offering protection… and showing the consequences of what happens if you don't take it."

ANTAGONISM — HUNTING DOWN

"Boo." "Caught you." "I have my ways." "Long time no see." "Why are you here?" "Can't hide from me." "How did you find me?!" "Resistance is futile." "You're an easy target." "I'll never let you go." "Don't look so surprised." "Stalking's an ugly word." "Hiding from me, are you?" "I brought you something." "Cute little hiding place." "It is time for a reunion." "Wasn't easy finding you…" "I told you to leave me alone!" "Wherever you go, I'll follow." "You're a hard person to find…" "Enough running! Face me, coward!" "I tracked you down for a reason." "Come here, give me a nice big hug." "I always find what I'm looking for." "You know why I'm here. Hand it over." "Is no space sacred to you? Leave me." "Thought you could run from me, did ya?" "Jumpy… why so nervous? It's just me." "I told you I don't want to see you again." "Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. What now?" "You're predictable, of course you'd be here." "Don't give me that angry look. Can't I visit?" "You wouldn't be running if you weren't guilty." "People have a habit of talking when I ask nicely." "Do you have nothing better to do than stalking me?" "Consequences are catching up to you, just as I am." "I thought it was best to give this invitation personally." "I'm not dropping this, not until you fix the mess you made." "Doesn't matter where you go, where you hide, I'll hunt you down." "Please, you're still mad about that? Let it go and leave me alone." "There's unfinished business between us two. I'm here to remind you of that." "You can't run from responsibility. It has a habit of catching up when you least expect it." "So you found me, what now? Want to argue, want to fight? Either way you're not winning this." "Your friends get chatty with the right motivation. Asked them where you could be hiding. They were quick to break."

VILLAINY — MANIPULATING

"Ungrateful…" "Calm yourself." "I did it for you." "I never said that." "You forced my hand." "Tell no one of this." "You always do this…" "Have you calmed down?" "Are you this sensitive?" "You know I care for you." "Are you certain of that?" "So you're leaving me…?" "You were told what to do." "You care about me, right?" "This is for your own good." "Are you trying to hurt me?" "You always side with them!" "Indulge me just this once." "So be it. Do what you want." "It was a joke. Lighten up." "I'm not perfect, no one is." "And you trust what they say?" "Look at what you made me do." "You'd be nowhere without me." "You should be more grateful." "I only want the best for you." "No one sees you as I see you." "They all conspire against you." "I'm sorry you feel that way…" "I warned you this would happen." "No one else had any objections." "Who would you trust, them or me?" "It is all in the past. Let it go." "Your trust in me will be rewarded." "Ah. I see. You're scared to do it." "If you'd just let me, I'd help you." "I don't know why I trust you at all." "This is what they would have wanted." "I urge you to reconsider your words." "You should know what you did. Think." "So you don't care about me, is that it?" "Please, I don't want to argue with you." "Forgive me, please, it won't happen again." "Other people have it much harder than you." "You let your emotions get the best of you." "It's not you I don't trust, but the others." "Are you incapable of following instructions?" "I may be the only person that cares for you." "Don't crawl back to me when things go south." "You should think your choices over carefully…" "I wouldn't do it like that… no, no, keep going." "Every time… it's always the same thing with you." "Your orders were simple, and yet… you disappoint." "It was nothing more than a lapse in my judgement." "I know you think that this is what you want, but it really isn't." "No, it is my fault, I should not have expected different from you."

[apavora]

VILLAINY — BESTED

"Stay down." "You got lucky." "No, this can't be!" "I knew you'd come." "All skill, no luck." "You forced my hand." "Wait! Don't kill me!" "This is getting old." "I see you get it now." "Tired yourself out yet?" "You make this too easy." "Not so scary now, are ya?" "There's no time for this!" "You're still… too late." "Sit still and listen now." "Don't make me do that again." "You make such a sad sight." "I expected more of a fight…" "Next time: get out of my way." "I won't be bested, not by you!" "How's the view from the floor?" "It didn't have to end like this." "A minor step back, nothing more." "It seems I have underestimated you." "I didn't… I didn't mean to do that." "Aren't you tired of losing every time?" "Stop! Stop and accept when you're beaten!" "More fighting, less monologuing next time!" "You've underestimated me for the last time." "You've been a thorn in my side for too long." "Now… if you don't mind, I have places to be." "You haven't won yet, the others are on their way..!" "Now that you are feeling more cooperative, let us chat." "I tried warning you: this was the only way it could end." "All it took was some bait, and you came right into my trap."

VILLAINY — KILLING

"They cried for you." "Blood. Such a mess." "Don't kill me! Please!" "My conscience is clear." "Death comes for us all." "What a waste of my time." "You never stood a chance." "What are you doing?! Stop!" *Explodes you with my mind.* "You expect me to feel guilt?" "Your family…? They're gone." "You will suffer as they have!" "There is blood on your hands." "Please, no, please, PLEASE —!" "How did you imagine your death?" "Your screams will echo in the wind." "Your hands are as bloodied as mine." "This is the end of the line for you." "I will be the last thing you'll see." "Kill me! Stop stalling, and kill me!" "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt. Much." "I did what you were too scared to do!" "Your last breath will be mine to take." "Screaming. Screaming and then silence." "Nothing personal, this is just business." "A witness is a witness. Get rid of them." "Only death will absolve you of your sins." "Get back up! Get up! You're not dying yet!" "I'll kill you! You hear me?! I'll kill you!" "Your friends were brave. Brave, but stupid." "You took them from me! For that, you will pay!" "What a waste of your time, to try and fight me." "I thought you'd put up a better fight than this." "All that bravado and this is what it amounts to." "They screamed, cried and begged. It didn't save them." "They were innocent! You said no bystanders would get hurt!" "If they could see you now, sniveling and crying as you face death." "What kind of monster could've done this? This is just… too much." "I will not rest until I kill each and every person you've ever cared for." "You fought bravely. There is no shame in that. But you were out of your depth." "Your breath shallows, your skin pales… what does it feel like to know you are dying?" "You took hostages? Are you out of your mind?! They saw what we look like, you have to kill them!" "You won't do it. You don't have it in you. I live still because you are too cowardly, to soft, to take a life."

[apavora]

ANTAGONISM — APATHY

"What do you want?" "You're still here?" "Heartless bastard." "Empathy, heard of it?" "Why should I help you?" "Beg, and I'll consider." "Why do you think I care?" "You won't even listen to me!" "Are you seriously this cold?!" "Why waste your energy on them?" "Why feel so strongly about this?" "Boohoo, my heart's breaking for you." "Save your words for someone who cares." "Is there nothing you won't do for money?" "Just this once, please, I need your help." "You think you deserve my help? That's rich." "Coming from you? I take it as a compliment." "Please, I don't have anyone else to turn to." "Don't know, and I don't care to know either." "Don't you get tired of every fruitless attempt?" "Go cry somewhere else, I'm tired of hearing it." "… And? You expect me to do something about it?" "Don't come at me with your self righteous bullshit." "You may think me cruel, but I do what must be done." "You could be dying in a ditch and I wouldn't help you." "So what? You'll just turn your back on an old friend?" "Their lives were a necessary sacrifice, you know that." "You're seriously just going to ignore me? Real mature." "I cannot cry for every death. You understand that, yes?" "I'm not ignoring you. That implies I think about you at all." "If you want to survive you have to turn your heart to stone." "I've got lax morals and I'm easily swayed by cash, what can I say." "I haven't paid attention to a single word you've said this entire time." "One day you'll need my help! And I'll give you the same answer you just gave me!"

"The pieces are already in motion." "There's nothing you can do to stop me." "I'd do it all over again with a smile." "This was always going to be the outcome." "I can't believe you… you actually did it." "Are you insane?! Think of the consequences!" "A pity… I have enjoyed our time together." "No more words, no more arguments. It's over." "All the bloodshed, all the pain… worth it." "How long have I thought about this moment…" "You tried your best… it just wasn't enough." "The power I've sought… finally in my hands." "No shame in your defeat, you have fought well." "There is no turning back, no undoing any of it." "You won't live to see my vision come true. How sad." "I've planned everything to the most minute detail…" "Out of everyone, they sent you? How needlessly cruel." "Do not take it personally; you were predestined to lose." "Ah, you're getting ahead of yourself there. You haven't won yet." "Know that your struggling was entertaining, but it's time we end this." "You have bested me in the past… but with every defeat I grew stronger." "You were the only one to ever truly challenge me… but it seems I have outclassed even you, now."

[apavora]

ANTAGONISM — HATRED

"How pathetic…" "You hate me? Good." "You've ruined my life!" "You're so easy to hate." "Everything you touch rots." "Begging for forgiveness already?" "You don't understand: I do not care." "May there be no place for you to turn." "Your weakness incites disgust, not pity." "I won't stop until you're brought to ruin." "Every little thing about you pisses me off." "You want the truth? There never was a reason." "You are nothing to me. You realize that, yes?" "Silence! Do not speak! I've had enough of you!" "It's like you go out of your way to make me mad." "Don't waste your breath. I don't want to hear it." "If I can't make you love me, I can make you hate me." "You don't hate me? You haven't been paying attention." "There's nothing you can do to tame the rage within me!" "Aren't you tired of struggling? Why don't you give up." "I will tear everything you've worked for crashing down." "Love me, hate me — as long as you're thinking about me." "Shamelessness does not begin to describe your behavior." "You can hate me for my words, but you can't deny their truth." "I don't hate you. I'm just not a fan of sharing my air with you." "I don't care if you hate me as long as you learn what I'm teaching." "I can only hope that your life is as miserable as you make everyone else feel." "I understand your anger… simpler minds fear and hate what they cannot understand." "You think pushing people away makes you, what? Mysterious? Brooding? It just makes you an asshole." "Wouldn't that be nice? For me to hate you? But you're not worth even that. You are nothing to me, barely a thought worth entertaining."

[apavora]

ANTAGONISM — WORKING TOGETHER

"Focus for once!" "I don't trust you." "Stop following me." "Have it your way…" "Let's get this done." "Don't get any ideas." "Fine, don't trust me." "Silent treatment, eh?" "Just you try anything." "Is this a joke to you?" "Turning on me? Already?" "Trying to leave me behind?" "I should just let you die." "Better the enemy you know." "I got nothing to say to you." "You're getting on my nerves." "Like it or not, you need me." "We should do this more often." "Are you always this brooding?" "I'll play nice as long you do." "Are you capable of being quiet?" "We're in this together partner." "Tough luck, you're stuck with me." "I'm your only ticket out of here." "I'm not here because I want to be." "I already told you how it works…" "You, me, the tension between us…" "What're you going to do? Arrest me?" "You know me… for better or worse." "I'm not letting you out of my sight." "Are you getting in my way on purpose?" "Ah, come on, what's with the attitude?" "What? Scared I'll stab you in the back?" "You're here for the [ _ ] aren't you?" "Not how I saw my day going, but alright." "How was I supposed to know it was a trap?!" "Give that to me, I don't trust you with it." "Don't give me that look, this is your fault." "Lighten up, you can kill me some other time." "Not thinking of double-crossing me, are you?" "Figures you couldn't handle this on your own." "I was never letting you leave this place alive." "Doesn't this just make you all warm on the inside?" "This, here? Was never going to work out between us." "Are you capable of taking anything seriously? At all?" "What? Don't tell me you're surprised by this outcome." "The faster this is done with, the faster we can part ways."
