my darling dreadful thing.

dialogue prompts from my darling dreadful thing: a novel by johanna van veen.

you're different from what i expected.

are you pretending?

some things are so horrible that the only sane response is a bit of madness.

the truth scares people. they're always afraid of what they can't explain.

children accept so much as normal, don't they?

you need never be alone again. i shall keep you safe.

they were onto something, those greeks.

poor little thing. you must have been terribly lonely.

it's very clear in my mind, but it doesn't sound very clear when i try to put it into words.

you were mine, and i was yours.

i can see i've touched a very sore spot. let's talk about someone else.

please. just a little while longer.

do shut up.

your feeling does you credit.

what could you possibly do to help me?

i suppose you must feel very pleased with yourself.

i'll never come back to you.

do you often feel violent toward people?

you're inscrutable.

you know, you needn't stay with me.

you don't owe me anything.

hotel rooms are such strange places, don't you think?

i can see you now.

what a sick little story.

all these years, i thought i was alone.

i only had _____ to teach me love.

forgive me. i didn't mean to laugh.

i thought if i could make the situation darkly funny, it would be easier to handle.

you're a blessing and a curse, aren't you?

am i a curse to you?

please don't raise your voice at me.

i've no doubt that in your mind, it was all true.

do you think i do not know? do you think i'm stupid, as well as mad?

i'm trying to tell you everything, but you keep interrupting me.

every house has its own scent.

to speak of evil is to invite it in.

the house is very talkative.

arrogance is a greater threat to justice than evil and ineptitude.

remain always wary. ever-vigilant.

god hasn't yet given me much reason to believe in him.

describe _____ to me.

you've seen right through me.

smoking is an acquired taste.

i like listening to you talk.

every house is entitled to its secrets.

you keep your cards close to your chest.

are you done interrogating me?

if i had my way, you'd never have to clean.

happy: such a funny little word, isn't it?

doing little has never agreed with me. it gives me too much time to dwell on things.

you've never looked more beautiful.

knowing and understanding: what is the difference?

some things must be experienced to be understood.

it seems to me that you are a little jealous.

i want to know everything there is to know about you.

i want to eat you up and drink you in.

there's a reason the word 'haunting' is rarely used in a positive way.

this is no place to raise a child.

i feel like you're being dishonest with me.

some things can't be talked about.

please, will you hold me?

how do you want to be held?

everything you say is interesting to me.

i don't want you to think all i ever went through was misery.

i told you this is how it would be, didn't i?

i'm going to make it alright. i promise.

remind me again why you thought this plan would work.

i'm not doing it all by myself. i've got you.

you've thought it all through, haven't you?

your hair is getting long.

let me help. let me bear it for a little while.

some things can only be learned through experience.

i can bear anything, if you're there to bear it with me.

i'll help you wash.

i'm like a magpie. i like shiny things.

men are such babies.

i read that in a library book.

i always suspected you didn't have a heart.

please don't look at me as if you don't know me.

my marriage was nothing like you seem to think it was.

if that was love, it came at much too steep a price.

you could charm the devil himself.

there's only so much disgrace and shame a person can suffer.

i could have helped you. you needn't have carried all this alone.

i've never had anyone i could trust enough to talk to before.

you must have felt so powerless.

does anyone know what you did?

everything i touch blackens and withers.

sometimes i think that all i am is what ____ made me.

you're kind and funny and smart. and so much more, besides.

you've got me all wrong, you know.

you don't have to say anything. i just wanted to tell you.

you're more than what _____ did to you.

maybe i'm already dead. maybe this is hell.

my love for you is as strong as death.

when you wake, please come haunt me.

you really are a funny one.

where will you go, if you won't come with me?

i don't much like to be beholden to anyone. it hasn't worked out so well for me before.

i don't think i deserve to be safe and happy.

[magpieddd]

i like this guy

[pocketpartners]

okay, while i'm here... tentative starter call for corbeau, caitlin or volo?? and i'm throwing grimsley and silver too as options, why not. these are open to any mutuals regardless of if we've got something ongoing or not - just be aware that i'm likely to be slow with my writing & replying to messages here for a while, otl.

[pocketpartners]

what if i came back here....... and added volo.

[van1shiro]

Happy new years!!! 🐎🐎🐎

[pocketpartners]

okay i think it is finally time....... for corbeau starter call......... like this post for a starter, and if you're a multi, please specify a muse if you have a preference for who you'd like to use!

[pocketpartners]

JUST WATCHED THE NEW ZA LEGENDS DLC TRAILER......... more corbeau content coming on the 10th of december?? my eyes are wide open 👀

[pocketpartners]

i know before za came out i was toying with the idea of giving corbeau some kind of powers or abilities that he's not aware of, at least in some threads... and ngl i am still very interested in that now. but i've just gotta figure out exactly what flavor of Weirdness i'm looking for!

though as much as i like the idea of him being some kind of non-human without being aware of it, i also like the idea of him being just a regular guy - at least until he was caught up in the events of ZA, where the destruction of ange and his proximity to it ended up having some sort of effect on him. in that scenario, the other characters during the ending (canari, ivor, jacinthe etc.) might have also had the same happen to them??

maybe they're all now immortal, since ange was created originally to bestow eternal life (iirc). or maybe instead it "woke up" something inside corbeau that was dormant before... not sure what yet, though.

powers i'm considering giving him include some sort of healing factor... or perhaps some kind of poisonous substance that can help or hinder, depending on circumstance. maybe he has some kind of "connection" with those who ingest it? like reading memories, emotions, some kind of nonsense hivemind shenanigans... though that sounds more psychic-oriented than poison-themed. i suppose his abilities don't have to be poison-oriented though! it'd also be interesting if he was particularly susceptible to psychic abilities (which i posted about before), just like how psychic is supereffective against poison - or maybe he's just sensitive to psychic energies. like telepathy - he can receive thoughts but not transmit them, be empowered or weakened by other's powers but can't use them himself directly, etc.

idk if any of this makes sense and mostly i'm just throwing ideas out that i probably won't end up using, but. hmm.

[pocketpartners]

Truth be told, Corbeau has never quite known what to make of Valerie. Her visit to his office doesn't come as a surprise - everyone is required to make an appointment before showing up, generally speaking, and he'd known she was in the area as well, but it was a rather last minute thing - to him at least. Valerie very well might have been planning it for quite some time, but... the thing about that woman is that she's always been very difficult to read.

Of course, she's still impossible to mistake for anyone else. Her fashion sense and even general aura give off a sense of style that would make anyone stop and look twice, but being instantly recognizable does nothing to stop her from being a figure draped in mystery regardless. But... that's not such a bad thing. In Corbeau's business, things that are unpredictable are dangerous, yet they're also the most interesting by far.

And things that are interesting... can sometimes be fun. He can't deny that Valerie is an intriguing figure, and one who's skills are useful at that - so while he's never taken as much of an interest in her as he does in those living in Lumiose City, while she is here, her presence was never going to escape his attention.

"Ah... you're just on time." he says, coolly, though it's not an unwelcoming tone either. And she came on her own, at that - clearly, she's confident enough to be here without support.

"Well, I've gotta say I wasn't expecting a visit from you of all people today. Philippe only informed me this morning, but... where are my manners? You can take a seat over there."

@apocryphall ( starter for valerie! )

There's no way Griselle wouldn't have heard all about Serena. After all, she's the one who took down Team Flare, stopping Lysandre and his plans once and for all and bringing a perfect peace to the region of Kalos once more... a 'happy ending' for everyone, right?

If only that were true. But while she scoffs at the thought, and even though it'd be all too easy to hate her, Griselle knows that that wouldn't be fair. After all, all Serena did was what was necessary. Lysandre is the one who ruined Team Flare, and that means that all the hatred and scorn that's been directed at her and Grisham ever since that day five years ago; all the jeers and rejection and cold-as-ice eyes... he's the one responsible for all of them.

It's just hard to feel that way, sometimes. The name of Team Flare has been forever tarnished in the eyes of the world, now. No-one cares about what it was supposed to be, or the people who made it up. According to that world, Griselle should despise Lysandre and reject everything he stood for... and the thing is, she does! But somehow, just not enough to satisfy them. In her darkest hours, she's sometimes sat in the back of a boarded-up cafe, dust thick enough in the air to make her choke, and wondered... how wrong was he, really? Yet never once has she let those thoughts win.

...So no, Griselle doesn't hate Serena. Griselle is nothing like that fool Lysandre, and despite everything, she still loves Lumiose... the same Lumiose that Serena herself had protected. She's grateful. But she's only human, too. If she looks at Serena and thinks, "that should've been me"... is that really such a crime?

"Can I get you anything?" Griselle asks when they meet for the first time, well-practiced smile on her face that's almost, but not quite perfect. ...It's too late, though - she knows Serena must've caught the way she was looking at her across the street. And that look on her face...

"...Is what I would say, but actually - I don't think you're here to make an order. Are you?"

@iruludavare ( starter! )

[pocketpartners]

aaaand also a small starter call for caitlin, cheren or griselle since i do have other muses (i promise) and i want to write them too! obviously griselle is a za legends character though, so I'll only use her if you specify you'd like her specifically for me <3

[pocketpartners]

okay i think it is finally time....... for corbeau starter call......... like this post for a starter, and if you're a multi, please specify a muse if you have a preference for who you'd like to use!

dialogue prompts from these violent delights by micah nemerever.

you're forever assuming the worst.

what's that face? you look like you're going to cry.

you're one of those people who worry all the time, aren't you?

i don't worry, i ruminate. they're distinct actions.

nothing made you. you just are.

beautiful things are supposed to hurt.

people tell you you're shy all the time, don't they?

i don't know how i ever got on without you.

a little trouble is a good thing for a young person.

i wasn't born yesterday. i know what kids get up to.

it's good to have guns to stick to.

you could do anything to me and i'd let you.

i'm not ready to be seen. not yet.

i don't need you to treat me respectfully. i'm not made of glass.

tell me you love me, at least. please. i need to know somebody does.

do i look normal? i can't tell if i look normal.

i'm going to push you off a cliff, you fucking boy scout.

thank you for trusting me with this.

be a kid while you still can.

please believe in the things i try to tell you, instead of the things you think you deserve to be told.

if the sun touched you for even a moment, you'd go up in flames. like a vampire.

your voice changes when you're angry.

what a lonely, dreary thing it is to know the truth.

you never look away, even when your eyes are closed, but i'm never certain you can see what's really there.

tell me you need me. in those words.

can i tell you something? that i'm all but certain you won't believe?

i never lie to you. but sometimes, i wish i could.

you never let me pretend the truth is alright when it isn't.

you have a profound, elusive sadness about you.

you didn't. please tell me you didn't.

you and your awful little games.

why would i bother to grow my own conscience when you're always around to pester me?

this house is a shadowbox, never meant for human things.

you have no right to stop me, and you're not going to try.

you're sweet, when you want to be.

do you want me to kill ____? i mean it.

it might do you good to be an orphan.

you're just so sincerely creepy.

wealthy people pay handsomely for the privilege of ignoring cries for help.

i've never seen you like that before. not once.

i've decided to learn to be impulsive.

the worst damage humans do isn't rooted in malice, but in thoughtlessness.

there's such a thing as right and wrong. anyone can figure out the difference if they're willing to think for themselves.

there's no part of you i can't see.

i don't want to hurt you. please don't let me.

you're ridiculous, sometimes. but that's alright.

i don't want you right now. go home.

say what you need to say.

if you say the word 'deserve' one more time, i'm driving us off a bridge.

this place looks like somewhere in a jigsaw puzzle.

it's always been real for me. every second.

please don't say anything to my mother.

we can't fix it if you don't tell me what happened.

i'll call you when i can stand the sight of you. don't hold your breath.

hiding the truth is still lying.

i thought you'd finally trust me if you knew i'd kill for you.

i'm just as much of a monster as you are.

i was missing part of myself my whole life, until i met you.

righteous fury leaves no space for fear.

you can always talk to me. about anything, okay? i love you no matter what.

you played [game] in school, didn't you?

no one tolerates boredom worse than the idle rich.

someone needs to be looking after you.

you know you can't actually stop me, right?

i want to be able to look at you.

when you need to, you will understand.

i'm only ever early when i'm afraid.

people talk themselves into the strangest things when they want to look impressive.

in the end, there's no difference between trusting someone and underestimating them.
