This is the Beginning of the End

Selective Salem rp blog from RWBY.

[darkqueensalem]

For newcomers to this blog, I do feel obligated to point out that 99.99999% of my activity is over on my Winter blog here. While I do try getting to Salem at times, she’s a fickle muse who does not come out nearly as often.

Send 🎶 for a set of lyrics I associate with my muse.

[darkqueensalem]

I want to do things over here, but I don’t know what. If any mutual wants to plot, go ahead and send me a message here, on Winter (probably a faster reply there), or on Discord if you have mine.

Nothing ever ends poetically. It ends and we turn it into poetry. All that blood was never once beautiful. It was always just red.

You really decided cruising into Atlas on Big Chungus was a tits-out kinda look, huh

“A woman has to come in fashionable when confronting her ex.”

[darkqueensalem]

“I will see this kingdom fall, personally.”

[darkqueensalem]

"Name your price. I will gladly pay it."

“My price? You agree so easily without knowing the cost? My, my...I do admire your certainty in these matters.”

It was so good to have people willing to listen and do what it takes. 

“I would have my goals achieved. You will give me your time, your energy, your knowledge, your life should I so ask for it. What you want is secondary, I will not hide that fact; however, in helping me with what I want, you can get what you want. Now tell me, what does a disgraced doctor from Atlas want out of this?”

[darkqueensalem]

"I will obey your orders."

“Good. Know your place and you will go far. Obedience gains rewards, and you will get what you seek once I get what I want. Disappoint me, however, and you will be nothing more than a passing memory.” 

She didn’t make idle threats.

[darkqueensalem]

"I will not spare them."

“If they cross you, do not hesitate, but if they can prove to be useful....” A smirk came to her lips. “Do not forget that a good tool can make all the difference.”

Villain Starters

For your villainous needs.

Trigger and content warnings for violence, death, and implications of torture.

"You will do as I say."

"Leave the thinking to me."

"I will obey your orders."

"What do you ask of me?"

"Burn it all to the ground."

"I will take what is yours."

"Do not test me."

"You dare defy me?!"

"I have friends in high places."

"Next time I won't be as forgiving."

"I failed you, forgive me."

"I accept the punishment for failure."

"What would you have me do to them?"

"Name your price. I will gladly pay it."

"I am your loyal servant."

"Leave no survivors."

"Let them feel our might."

"I have brought you a prisoner."

"Your loyalty deserves a reward."

"If you betray me, I will make you regret it."

"I won't kill you. Death would be a mercy."

"You will not receive mercy."

"My orders were to not kill you. That doesn't mean that I won't hurt you."

"You are merely a pawn."

"Bow to me!"

"I only want what is best for everyone."

"What news do you bring me?"

"I will not tolerate disobedience!"

"You belong to me."

"Freedom is not an option."

"Follow your orders."

"We need to set an example."

"I will not spare them."

"Make them regret their choice."

A quick little reminder that I am very inactive on Salem (because she is a fickle muse who comes around when it suits her), but I can be found over on my Winter blog 99% of the time.

“Perhaps the most tragic fate of all,” the Devil mused, “is to commit evil for the sake of good, and to be punished for it.”

Your God loves to punish you even more than I do. (Excerpt from “Fornever”) | m.a.w (via dvoyd)

[darkqueensalem]

“Playing heroes and villains… how pitifully precious that all used to be.” (Hey remember the Evil James thing we talked about?)

A small smirk pulled at her lips. Humans were all the same. If they were pushed enough, lost something or someone close to them, or simply promised whatever petty desire they wanted, they would turn on each other.

The general was a shining example of this truth.

“Humanity has fed itself a lie. They believe that their heroes will always be there to save them. What happens when those heroes return broken, useless, dead? And then there are those who simply realize the futility in it all. Isn’t that right?”

It was a never ending cycle of death and loss.

“‘Heroes and villains’ is a child’s game. An empty hope for a brighter future. Tell me, what future do you think is fated for this world?”

[darkqueensalem]

“Appealing to any sense of humanity in you was a mistake.”

“A sense of humanity? It was a mistake to think that such a thing exists.”

Salem had nothing to lose. There was all the time in the world for her to sit back and watch humanity fight among themselves, tear themselves down, and destroy each other. Life would not leave her, so she clung to the hatred and betrayal she felt. She used it as a weapon.

“If you are seeking mercy, you will not receive it.”

Evocatively Evil Starters

“Is it really that evil if it’s justified?”

“You play these simple parts and ignore the grey in between.”

“I don’t want to admit it’s more fun… but…”

“Does this cause you pain?”

“Being ignorant is just as bad as committing the act itself.”

“Terrible is just a means of perspective, really…”

“Feel that? That well of emotion? How does it feel?”

“Playing heroes and villains… how pitifully precious that all used to be.”

“Appealing to any sense of humanity in you was a mistake.”

“You may think I have a lingering sense of guilt, but you’re wrong.”

“It’s amazing what will turn people when they have nothing left to lose.”

“A monster? Perhaps, but monsters are far too easily discarded in the eyes of fear.”

“You’ve taken almost everything from me, I dare you to try it again.”

“Death is only a tool to me. Nothing else.”

“Oh, anything can feel. It’s a matter of how you deal with them.”

“The sooner they fall, the more power to us.”

“It could be swift and painless, but there isn’t any fun in that.”

“You forget the lengths I’m willing to go. Don’t test them.”

“If we’re going to be tossing blame around, it’s really your fault, isn’t it?”

“I can break you down in ways that horrify your own nightmares.”

“Good and evil don’t exist, only the extremes of passion and how far someone is willing to go.”

“There might be a way to persuade just a fragment of mercy out of me.”

“Screams and cries are just background noise to my everyday life.”

“Please, keep trying. The futility is still entertaining.”

“You can’t keep this up. Eventually it will all crumble around you.”

Salem watched the girl and noticed her grip her weapon. It was amusing that the child would think that such a thing would help her here. Did she not realize how futile it would be to fight back?

“I see introductions are unnecessary. Good. I have heard quite a bit about you Ruby Rose."

Steps echoed on against the floor and she slowly approached, no immediate actions implying a threat to the girl. Salem wanted her brought in alive, and it seemed Tyrian was able to accomplish that much.

“Tell me, do you know why I had you brought here?”

Myth and Magic Sentence Starters

“Heard a rumor that something lives in these woods, something… otherworldly.” 

“Are you /trying/ to get yourself killed?!”

“Your spellwork is shoddy at best.” 

“Enunciate! Don’t mumble!” 

“What sort of Craft do you do?” 

“You’re… you’re a witch.” 

“You’re going to get caught walking around like that.” 

“What a beautiful creature…” 

“Please do not drop things into my cauldron.” 

“They say that you’re a Fae.” 

“Your eyes… you’re not human, are you?” 

“What are you doing in a place like this?” 

“This isn’t your natural habitat…” 

“This is… impressive spellwork.” 

“Oh! What beautiful enchantments!” 

“Do you think you can make me one of these?” 

“I’m looking for someone whom people say can brew any cure.” 

“This place is cursed… I can feel it in my bones.” 

“Your magic is very oppressive.”

“Supposedly there’s a dragon who dwells here. Heard anything about that?” 

“Your wards and shields are pathetic.” 

“Don’t be ridiculous, they’re a fairytale.” 

“Magic doesn’t exist.” 

“It’s probably some rabid wolves or something, not some ‘mythical creature’.”

“Ghosts aren’t real, and this place isn’t haunted!” 

“Isn’t it about time you crafted your own focus? 

“I’ve never seen magic quite like this.” 

“Please take your wand away from my throat.” 

“Is this a cure, or a poison?” 

“I didn’t know this type of herb grew here.” 

“Do you think someone will be willing to sell me a crystal?” 

“What are you going to do? Read my palm? Tell me my fortune on a poker hand?”

“I haven’t seen a creature like that in years.” 

“Excuse me, but have you seen any __ around these parts?” 

“A __ you say? No, I don’t believe I have.” 

“You should check the vendor down the block if you’re looking for /that/ kind of thing.” 

“You do know that even possessing that is illegal here, yes?”
