game of thrones (S1) rp starters
โ iโve never seen a thing like this, not ever in my life. โ โ do the dead frighten you? โ โ all these years and i still feel like an outsider when i come here. โ โ whatever it did to them it can do it to us. they even killed the children. โ โ relax your bow arm. โ โ oh, wait. i just realisedโฆi donโt care. โ โ to stand at a crossroads where turning left means loyalty to a friend, turning right, loyalty to the realm. โ โ my crimes and sins are beyond counting. โ โ does loyalty mean nothing to you? โ โ i fear i may have behaved monstrously these past few weeks. โ โ some doors close foreverโฆ others open in the most unexpected places. โ โ sometimes i worry youโre too smart for your own good. โ โ the occassional kindness will spare you all sorts of trouble down the road. โ โ i donโt know. i donโt remember. everything happened so fast. i didnโt see. โ โ everythingโs better with some wine in the belly. โ โ iโm not particularly good at violence, but iโm good at convincing others to do violence for me. โ ย ย ย โ gold wins wars. not soldiers. โ โ a mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone. โ โ thereโs a war coming. i donโt know when, i donโt know who weโll be fighting, but itโs coming. โ โ you will dishonor yourself forever if you do this. โ โ you know I had half my guard out searching for you? โ โ youโre just a soldier, arenโt you? you take your orders and you carry on. โ โ oh my sweet summer child, what do you know about fear? โ โ everyone who isnโt us is an enemy. โ โ would you be so good as to untie me? โ โ the next time you raise a hand to me will be the last time you have hands. โ โ come stand by the fire. itโs warmer. โ โ what do you pray for? โ โ iโve made many mistakes in my life, but that wasnโt one of them. โ โ you canโt change him. you canโt help him. heโll do what he wants, which is all heโs ever done. youโll try your best to pick up the pieces. โ โ the common people pray for rain, health and a summer that never ends. they donโt care what games the high lords play. โ โ youโre a warrior like your father. โ โ iโm used to men who could chew that boy up and pick their teeth with his bones. โ โ i need you to become the person you were always meant to be. not next year. not tomorrow. now. โ โ thereโs things that sleep at day and hunt at night. โ โ youโre in pain. โ โ when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. โ โ go as far away as you can, with as many men as you can. โ โ is that what you tell yourself at night? that youโre a servant of justice? โ โ very handsome armor. not a scratch on it. โ โ do i frighten you? โ โ rhe lion doesnโt concern himself with the opinions of sheep. โ โ are you going to say something clever? go on, say something clever. โ โ there is only one thing we say to death - โnot todayโ. โ โ have you lost your mind? what if you missed? โ โ itโs a gift. i had it made for you. โ โ distrusting me was the wisest thing youโve done. โ โ how do you feel? you still donโt remember anything? โ โ youโre a smart person. you donโt believe that nonsense. โ โ youโre too hard on yourself. always have been. โ โ have you ever seen a dragon? โ โ youโre all alone in the deep dark woods. โ โ my family is rich. we have gold, lots of gold. iโm prepared to give you lots of gold. โ โ i felt something for you once, you know? โ โ there is a spell. some would say death is cleaner. โ โ itโs a neat little trick you do, you move your lips and your fatherโs voice comes out. โ โ iโm glad i could do something to make you happy. โ โ i could work at fighting all day, every day, and still never be as good as you. โ โ all i ever hear is how not tough i am. how i squirm at the sight of blood. โ โ i thought you were a better person. โ โ do you think itโs honor thatโs keeping the peace? itโs fear! fear and blood. โ โ i pray for home too. โ โ never forget what you are. the rest of the world will not. wear it like armor. then it can never be used against you. โ โ when they write the history of my reign, they will say it began today. โ โ in my dreams, i kill him every night. โ โ we were meant to rule together. โ โ why havenโt i seen you? where have you been? โ โ the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. โ โ the law is law. โ โ we never had the chance to be young. โ โ iโm going to miss you. โ โ we were at war. none of us knew if we were going back home again. โ โ your absence has already been noted. โ โ you need to drinkโฆand eat. โ โ i hope to repay your kindness someday. โ โ no one to tell meย โnoโ but you. only you. โ โ it stinks. it stinks like death. โ โ if i die, weep for me. โ โ someone with great ambition and no moralsโฆi wouldnโt bet against you. โ โ there are no men like me. only me. โ โ you look lovely tonight. โ โ all good swords have names, you know. โ โ itโs not going to get any easier, you know? youโll have to defend yourself. โ โ itโs a strange thing, the first time you cut a man. โ โ itโs hard for them to bow without heads. โ โ i swear to you that those who harm you will die screaming. โ โ i bet youโve never killed anyone. โ โ death is so final whereas lifeโฆlife is full of possibilities. โ โ there are times you make me wonder whose side youโre on. โ โ iโll make sure you donโt look so fucking grim all the time. โ โ youโre a loyal friend. you hear me? a loyal friend. the last one iโve got. โ โ did you have to bury her in a place like this? she should be on a hill somewhere with the sun and the clouds above her. โ โ donโt leave me alone with these people. โ โ oh, i do love a violent woman. โ โ itโs not your screams i want. only your life. โ โ iโll kill them all. every one of them. iโll kill them all. โ โ donโt talk about my mother or father ever, or iโll carve your eyes from your head. โ โ every hurt is a lesson and every lesson makes you better. โ โ iโm a constant disappointment to my father and iโve learned to deal with it. โ โ you have a quick temper and a slow mind. โ โ you broke my nose, bastard! โ โ i think you should wear your armor tonight. โ โ it makes me hurt to see you bleed. โ โ my tongue lied. my eyes shouted the truth. โ โ all men are made of water, do you know this? if you pierce them, the water leaks out and they die. โ โ iโm not going to tell you to stay or go. you must make that choice yourself. โ โ i grew up with soldiers. i learned how to die a long time ago. โ โ i donโt know what you want. iโve given up trying to guess. โ โ you dare give commands to me? to me? โ โ who was your first kill, not counting old men? โ โ iโm looking at you. youโve got an interesting face. a very distinctive face. โ โ you do have a choice. and youโve made it. โ โ moon of my life, are you hurt? โ โ if the day ever comes where youโre tempted to sell me out, remember this: whatever their price, iโll beat it. โ โ your sweet words have moved me. โ โ i did warn you not to trust me. โ โ when you look at me do you see a hero? โ โ take me to your crypt. i want to pay my respects. โ ย ย ย โ you always look at your feet before you lie. โ โ itโs your gods with all the rules. โ โ could you sing me a song? iโd like to hear a song. โ โ you worry too much. itโs starting to show. โ โ i take orders from your father, not you. โ โ you at a feast - itโs like a bear in a trap. โ โ if you can get word to my family, tell them iโm no coward. โ โ you understand why i did it? do you understand why i had to kill him? โ
