𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫?

A collection of my favorite lyrics from The Great Impersonator. Feel free to change as needed! Some of my favorites were too specific for roleplay so I did not add them. Namely from I Believe in Magic and Life of The Spider which are two of my favorite songs.

❛ Do you think they'd laugh at how I died? ❜

❛ I think I'm special 'cause I cut myself wide open as if it's honorable to bleed. ❜

❛ But I'm not lucky and I know I wasn’t chosen. ❜

❛ The world keeps spinnin' without me. ❜

❛ I wake up tired, think I'm better off dead. ❜

❛ I'm nervous what you'll think of me now. ❜

❛ I'm hoping that someone comes around and helps me figure it out. ❜

❛ I'm all grown up but somehow lately I'm acting like a fucking baby. ❜

❛ I'm really not as happy as I seem. ❜

❛ I'm still a little kid that can't make friends. ❜

❛ I wanna be invited, but I won't attend. ❜

❛ I wanna be cool, I don't wanna be pretty. ❜

❛ Nothing's as it seems. ❜

❛ I don't like the lie I'm living. ❜

❛ I'm way too nice and too forgiving. ❜

❛ It's all done now, who am I kidding? ❜

❛ I'm doing way worse than I'm admitting. ❜

❛ I'm really not that happy being me. ❜

❛ I'm trying to be positive. But oh, it's really hard. ❜

❛ I'm a loner, I'm a loser. ❜

❛ I'm on a real short leash, but I like it tight. ❜

❛ You know a mercy kill is what I seek. ❜

❛ I didn't ask to live, but dying's up to me. ❜

❛ Well, they say all dogs go to Heaven. Well, what about a bitch What about an evil girl left lying in a ditch? ❜

❛ Tell the three people who asked that I am in a better place. ❜

❛ 'Cause I'm not old, but I am tired. ❜

❛ I'm not strong, I'm very weak. ❜

❛ I have seen enough! I've seen it all! ❜

❛ I don't wanna hurt so get it over with quick. ❜

❛ Please, God, I wanna be loved. ❜

❛ I don't wanna be somebody that they wanna get rid of. ❜

❛ Every time you lean in closer, both my knees can't help but shake.❜

❛ I think you're a danger to my health, or so it seems. ❜

❛ Is it love or a panic attack? ❜

❛ Is a heavy heart too much to hold? ❜

❛ Because you make me fucking nervous and I don't know what it all means. ❜

❛ My spirit has been broken. ❜

❛ My optimism's getting sore. ❜

❛ I don't know if I can see you anymore. ❜

❛ I don't like to complain, but I'm saying sorry. ❜

❛ When I met you, I thought I was damaged goods. ❜

❛ If you knew it was the end of the world, would you like to stay a while? ❜

❛ Would you leave when it gets hard? ❜

❛ When I met you, I said I would never die. ❜

❛ The joke was always mine 'cause I'm racing against time. ❜

❛ Nothing good is free, but oh, it should be. ❜

❛ I still believe in Heaven, if they'll never let me in. ❜

❛ I think I might start tryin' because I haven't been. ❜

❛ Could all just be an answer to thosе prayers that came delayed? ❜

❛ Please, God, I don't wanna be sick. ❜

❛ I don't wanna be somebody that you're tryna get rid of. ❜

❛ There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown. ❜

❛ You know, I never felt like anyone, I was a paradoxal lie. ❜

❛ I didn't think that I was special, but I was too afraid to die. ❜

❛ I was trying to love you through an open wound 'cause everything I put inside there just fell right through. ❜

❛ If you only knew how bad it hurt me too. ❜

❛ You can rest your head down and not feel any shame. ❜

❛ I never loved you in vain. ❜

❛ You never listen and I'm terrible too. ❜

❛ If you stopped, I would've kissed you. ❜

❛ I almost thought I heard you call my name. ❜

❛ They say that God makes no mistakes, but I might disagree. ❜

❛ You all know something that I don't. ❜

Well, I was born all by myself It's not unlikely that I'll die that way as well. ❜

❛ I always knew I was a martyr. ❜

❛ I was built from special pieces that I learned how to unscrew. ❜

❛ I can always reassemble to fit perfectly for you. ❜

❛ So where do I go in the process when I'm just an apparatus? ❜

❛ I'm reduced to just a body here in someone else's bed. ❜

❛ When you're done, you can discard me like the others always do. ❜

❛ Your human starter kit came incomplete. ❜

❛ Fool me twice, the shame is on me. ❜

❛ Am I a victim in your game? ❜

❛ Can I take the blame for everything you hate? ❜

❛ The punishment and crime are not the same. ❜

❛ Somebody will love me for the way that I'm designed. ❜

❛ You smothered out the glow I grew for you, but it was mine too. ❜

❛ Have you ever been broken and thrown down? ❜

❛ Have you ever given the world to somebody as a gift and had it returned? ❜

❛ Did you know the father's DNA stays inside the mother for seven years? ❜

❛ Have you ever woken from a dream just to realize that you're still asleep? ❜

❛ Do you ever wish you were still asleep? ❜

❛ Do you ever wish you wouldn't wake up? ❜

I'm only small, I'm only weak.

❛ God, how could I even think of daring to exist? Looking just like this, I'm hideous.

❛ I worked real hard on the last one but the last one got me here. ❜

❛ I'm minding my own business but my presence makes you curse. ❜

❛ I should be getting better but I'm only getting worse. ❜

❛ And, God, how dare I even think of choosing here to die? 'Cause then, I'm just a problem that you have to take outside. ❜

❛ I know you hate the sight of me, I haunt you when you're fast asleep. ❜

❛ If only I had eight more lives. ❜

❛ You don't like it when I cry. ❜

❛ You would break me if you tried. And you will because I dared to be alive. ❜

❛ I'll never be like him. ❜

❛ You know my father isn't dead, but it don't feel like he's still here. ❜

❛ And my eyes tell me that he's harmless despite what my heart has to say. ❜

❛ So maybe just forget. Maybe move on, don't regret. ❜

❛ Or maybe this is just another trick that hasn't happened yet. ❜

❛ I thought that it was my fault and now sometimes I still do. ❜

❛ I can't bear to fake a smile when you walk into the room. ❜

❛ Everybody, get in line to meet the girl who flew too high. ❜

❛ Did it all to be included, my self-loathing so deep-rooted. ❜

❛ When I die, I won't have time to spend my money. ❜

❛ But I hope that you still love me. ❜

❛ A problem child, I was rough. But what do you do with a difficult grownup? ❜

❛ I thought I changed so much, nobody would notice it, and no one did. ❜

❛ I told everybody I was fine for a whole damn year. ❜

❛ Please, God, or whoever you are. ❜

❛ These days I get less calls 'cause no one wants to hear my voice. ❜

❛ I miss the days when I was gettin' texts that I could just avoid. ❜

❛ I don't ever wanna leave him, but I don't think it's my choice. ❜

❛ I don't think my pleas are heard because I'm screaming in the void. ❜

❛ Please, God, oh, you've gotta be sick. ❜

❛ Why do you make it hurt, and why's it over so quick? ❜

❛ Please, God, I'm finally loved. I finally found somebody I don't wanna get rid of. ❜

❛ You took a little while to respond to my prayer. ❜

❛ Please, God, no, this doesn't seem fair. ❜

❛ I'm tryin' not to show it, but I'm terribly scared. ❜

❛ They don't know I'm lonely. ❜

❛ They don't know I'm kind. ❜

❛ Does a story die with its narrator? ❜

❛ This is a cry for help, callin' for assistance. ❜

❛ What happened to the girl I knew? ❜

❛ I think I've been awake for days but it's so much fun. ❜

❛ I took another dose but I don't think it's micro. ❜

❛ Can't you see that I'm an imposter? ❜

❛ Where's the fun in doing well? ❜

❛ The good girls never kiss and tell. ❜

❛ I don't belong here, how 'bout you? ❜

❛ I still get punished for good deeds. ❜

PROMPTS FROM CHARADE *  assorted dialogue from the 1963 film, adjust as necessary

hasn't it occurred to you that i'm having a tough time keeping my hands off you?

any minute now we could be assassinated.

do you know what's wrong with you?

you're blocking my view.

what do i have to do to satisfy you?

who put that there?

why do people have to tell lies?

how would you like a punch in the nose?

of course you won't be able to lie on your back for a while, but then you can lie from any position, can't you?

do we know each other?

i don't know. how would i know?

i already know an awful lot of people, and until one of them dies i couldn't possibly meet anyone else.

shakespeare never said that.

it's terrible. you just made it up.

what do you expect me to say?

it's a toss up.

oh, you should see your face.

what's the matter now?

i'm not hungry anymore.

quit stalling. i want some identification. now!

you can't prove it to me, can you?

don't change the subject.

i love you adam, alex, peter, brian, whatever your name is.

where were you at 3:30am?

obviously you're telling the truth, for why would you invent such a ridiculous story?

the man and woman are married.

i can see that.

here it comes, the fatherly talk.

that's your trouble. you're too old for me.

this is a ludicrous situation.

i can think of a dozen men who are just longing to use my shower.

what are you doing in here?

i'm having a nervous breakdown!

do you realize you've had three names in the past two days?

i don't even know who i'm talking to anymore!

we didn't steal it!

when did they pass such a silly law?

you know i'd tell you if i had it.

how do you shave in there?

what is it, some new american fad?

you're the kind of girl who'd have something like that.

would you like to see my passport?

wow, when you come on, you come on, don't you?

oh, that wasn't a proposal.

how are you doing?

don't tell me. you didn't know it was loaded.

i can't stand these things.

now we wait. with our mouths shut.

have you any idea what these things cost over here?

[name], i think i love you.

do you understand french?

why don't you shut up?

if you're trying to frighten me, you're doing a first rate job.

come on, eat your dinner.

will you put that thing away?

i've got something here.

you didn't have to chase me so hard.

is that all the gratitude i get for saving your hide?

( this is basically just a very self indulgent list of various fluff, angst, and suggestive themed dialogue sentence starters. )

❛ i could keep you safe. they’re all afraid of me. ❜

❛ i’m trying to fix your hair, so hold still. ❜

❛ your heart is beating so fast right now. ❜

❛ promise me you’ll still be here when i wake up. ❜

❛ you’re not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜

❛ i thought you’d like some company. ❜ 

❛ clean yourself up. you're getting blood all over the place. ❜

❛ here, give this a try and tell me what you think. ❜

❛ you can kiss me, you know. ❜

❛ come back to bed. ❜

❛ you look good like this. ❜

❛ working together again, it’s just like old times. ❜

❛ how is it you always know what i need, huh? ❜

❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜ 

❛ i can’t imagine losing someone like that. i’m sorry. ❜

❛ you know you can always talk to me. ❜

❛ the only one who gets to kill you, is me. ❜

❛ so, what do i owe this pleasure? ❜

❛ ah, so you aren’t heartless after all. ❜

❛ may i have this dance? ❜ 

❛ it’s okay, you can touch me. i won't break. ❜

❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜

❛ hold still. this might sting a little. ❜

❛ we can't keep doing this. ❜ 

❛ you look like you've got something to say. ❜

❛ just relax and let me take care of you. ❜

❛ thought you’d be lighter without all that blood. ❜

❛ i had it under control. you didn’t need to do that. ❜

❛ everything looks so beautiful from up here. ❜

❛ you treat all your ladies like this? ❜

❛ well? how do i look? ❜

❛ can’t sleep? ❜

❛ do you mind if i smoke? ❜

❛ i’m scared of ending up alone. ❜

❛ i don’t think i’ve ever seen you smile. ❜

❛ how long has it been since you've slept? ❜

❛ you are losing my interest, and that’s very dangerous. ❜

❛ i’d suffer hell if you’d tell me what you’d do to me tonight. ❜

❛ you look really pretty right now. ❜

❛ i’ve never cared for anyone the way i care for you. ❜

❛ i’m not wearing any underwear. thought you’d like to know. ❜

❛ just a few more stitches and you’ll be as good as new. ❜

❛ i’d say we make a pretty good team. ❜

❛ i want you to forget this ever happened. ❜

❛ i'm here for business — not pleasure. ❜

❛ if i didn't know any better, i'd say you were jealous. ❜

❛ you'd look better down on your knees. ❜

❛ fine, keep acting like you hate me. ❜

❛ kiss me again. ❜

❛ are you asking me out on a date? ❜

❛ just sit there and look pretty and let me handle this. ❜

❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜

❛ well, i do feel better now that you're here. ❜

❛ i'm not drunk enough for this. ❜ 

❛ why is it whenever we see each other, you’re covered in blood? ❜

❛ i was wrong about you. ❜ 

❛ the first time i met you, i had no idea you'd mean this much. ❜

❛ you gonna be a good girl / boy for me? ❜

❛ i’m not afraid of you. ❜

❛ books mean more to me than people anyway. ❜

❛ i just wanted to say thank you for protecting me. ❜

❛ how about a kiss goodnight? ❜

❛ i don’t have time for distractions right now. ❜

❛ you shouldn’t be out here by yourself. ❜

so i finished redoing/rewriting uri's verses, some aren't on there that she had before because i'm still debating if i wanna go through the trouble-

but YEEEEAAA her carrd is on the main big carrd uwu

[sylus-hds-7213]

Sylus caught every detail—the way her breath hitched, the slight parting of her lips as if she were tasting something in the air, the way her pupils thinned to slits as he neared. Her body language spoke volumes, more than her words did, and he drank it all in with quiet intrigue.

Interesting.

Her answer had merit. The thrill of the unknown, the chaos of unpredictable jobs—it was a lure for people like them. But there was something in her phrasing, something that made his smirk linger just a little longer.

Sylus chuckled, low and smooth, as he pulled the case in his grip a little closer to his chest. Not protectively—no, this was deliberate, a subtle movement that showed he had no intention of simply handing it over.

“Dirty jobs, huh?” He mused, tilting his head slightly as if considering the term. “It’s interesting that you let human morality decide what’s dirty or otherwise.”

His crimson eyes flicked toward her horns, glinting in the dim light. A distinct trait, one that set her apart from the humans she worked alongside. And yet, she still framed things within the perspective of their fragile morality, their black-and-white sense of righteousness.

He wondered if she did it intentionally—or if it was simply easier that way.

Still, what intrigued him more was the way she spoke of him.

Sylus’ expression shifted—just slightly. Not surprise, but something sharper, something more analytical. A flicker of recognition danced in his mind, but he didn’t let it settle just yet. Instead, he narrowed his eyes at her, watching her carefully.

He took a slow step forward, not threatening but deliberate, his presence pressing just a little closer into her space. “Now, that’s curious....” he said. “You certainly didn’t expect to run into me,” he mused, his voice soft but carrying the weight of a silent question. “But… I wonder. Why would you want to?” His eyes narrowed slightly as he watched her, the tendrils of his evol still curling gently at the edges of his form.

ere was something beneath the surface of her words, something he hadn’t quite put his finger on yet. Maybe she knew more than she let on. Maybe, just maybe, she understood who he was, not just as Sylus of Onychinus, but as something older, something far more dangerous.

[praetexere]

Every movement that made him come ever so closer to her made Belial's gums itch, like her base instincts were ready to lash out and bite at a moment's notice. Luckily she still had enough self restraint to not allow that to happen, unless it became warranted of course.

Even if she wished to take a step back, to keep the space between them, her feet felt like they were glued right to the spot she was standing in, like any movement she made would be in vain. The wisps of his evol still curling around him kept Belial on edge, senses on high alert and her muscles tensed.

It was...exciting.

His words alluded that even he seemed to know more than he was letting on, like he was saying these things to lure the truth from her lips and perhaps it was working, or perhaps Belial was eager to find out.

"You just remind me of...an old friend." Belial said instead, her voice trembling from the adrenaline in her veins and she tilted her head slightly to keep her gaze even with Sylus when he stepped closer into her space.

Sylus smelled familiar. Like smoke and blood and spices and it curled so fondly around memories so distant and yet still so familiar that it nearly had her collapsing on the spot.

"Perhaps I may take more jobs in the N109 zone than I should for that reason alone. But I still stand by the fact that it's fun. It's like a dog being released from its leash when I'm here, I can let loose a little more because they don't care what I get up to in here." Belial said, her fingers gripping onto her own case a little tighter, fingers trembling from the force that could nearly shatter the handle of the case if she so wished it.

"Running into you was just a little bonus." She hummed.

[praetexere]

y'all i'm really missing my girl uriel...

i might work on fixing up a lot of her stuff tomorrow...

[sylus-hds-7213]

Sylus’ smirk deepened as he watched her—saw the way her eyes flicked to the case in his hand, the brief shift in her demeanor as she assessed the situation. He could almost feel the wheels turning in her mind, the way she was analyzing him just as much as he was analyzing her. There was a sharpness to her, a certain intelligence that made her more intriguing than most.

Sylus chuckled softly at her logic. She wasn’t wrong. Protocores like these were valuable only in the right hands—and they were far too precious to remain locked away. But he wasn’t here just for the profit. No, there was something else.

He tilted his head slightly, studying her.

"Maybe you're right. Though, I've never been one for leaving treasures to rot." His gaze flickered to the case she was eyeing, then back to her eyes, still calculating. "Perhaps a little personal collection is in order."

Her next words caught his attention, though.

She knew who he was. Interesting. A knowing glance, but no real surprise in her voice. That was something few could pull off without sounding patronizing.

Sylus’ grin turned just a touch sharper. "Well, you're right about one thing." He stepped a little closer. "I could buy out every protocore in this place if I really wanted to. But it’s not always about the buying, is it?" He raised an eyebrow, stepping around her slightly, letting his shadow stretch just a little closer to hers. "Sometimes, it’s about the hunt."

He tilted his head again, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly as if sizing her up for the first time. "You’v🎤🎤e got a lot of questions, hunter. I’m starting to wonder if you’re more interested in me than the protocores themselves."

A pause, and then he added, "Tell me, what’s it that really draws you in? Is it the hunt, too? Or just a matter of principle?"

He was testing her now, gauging her responses, and he was curious to see where it would lead.

[praetexere]

Every inch he grew closer, the stronger the tickle in the back of her mind grew. It felt like there were moments he was staring through her, like he was reading her soul like she could his.

It was strange and exhilarating all at once and it sent a satisfying chill straight down her spine. He was nearly right in her space all at once and her already slit shaped pupils thinned further, intrigue and wariness acting like one hell of a drug as her instincts were all on high alert all at once.

His question to her was what seemed to drag her attention back to the situation at hand. Her mouth had slightly opened without her realizing, lips parted and small, silent breaths puffing in and out like she were emulating a cat taking in a scent.

"Jobs like this.." She started, her eyes glancing to their respective cases, then around them before falling back on him. "These kind of dirty jobs that the Association would rather not let their general human force take on." Belial shrugged loosely.

"They're fun. Not mundane and especially when I'm sent here is when they're at the most fun. I never know what to expect." She said, tilting her head as the texture of her horns glinted in the remaining dim light. "Like how I certainly was not expecting to ever run into you." Belial finished.

❛   we have no scar to show for happiness. we learn so little from peace.  ❜  

❛   i didn’t leave because i stopped loving you. i left because the longer i stayed, the less i loved myself.  ❜  

❛   at every moment in our life, we have one foot in a fairytale & the other in the abyss.  ❜  

❛   there are too many sad eyes on happy faces.  ❜  

❛   it’s strange, i felt less lonely when i didn’t know you.  ❜  

❛   things change, friends leave. life doesn’t stop for anybody.  ❜  

❛   it takes a lifetime to die, and no time at all.  ❜  

❛   i am deathly afraid of almosts. of coming close to what i want and then falling just a little short.  ❜  

❛   i felt your absence.  ❜  

❛   what do we do now, now that we are happy?  ❜  

❛    you honestly thought anybody would love you? purely and truly love you?  ❜  

❛   don’t stop looking. he deserves to know someone saw his end, that someone noticed him.  ❜  

❛    i can bear my pain so long as it has meaning.  ❜  

❛   i dont have a single friend - not one.  ❜  

❛   i’ve had more than enough pain in my life, what’s a little more going to do?  ❜  

❛    it would have been you if i met you first.  ❜  

❛    i really thought he was going to be my forever.  ❜  

❛    maybe in the next life it would work.  ❜  

❛   in spite of everything, you’re still you.  ❜  

❛   the dead have it easy.  ❜  

❛   there’s an ocean of silence between us, and I’m drowning.    ❜  

❛   there have been countless times in my life when i thought i’d be better off dead.  ❜  

❛   what on earth… have i become?  ❜  

❛   don’t look at me! i don’t … i don’t want you seeing me like this.  ❜  

❛   i wish i could’ve been like you.  ❜  

❛   your fate was sweeping you away, like a flood.  ❜  

❛   the future should know the mistakes we made.  ❜  

❛   of course you have. you feel guilt. you want redemption.  ❜  

❛   i’m here because you can’t accept what you’ve done. it broke you.  ❜  

❛   even now, after all you’ve done, you can still go home.  lucky you . ❜  

❛   you’re all that’s left, and we can’t live this lie forever.  ❜  

❛    prometheus gave us light, and warmth, and eternal damnation.  ❜  

❛   take a gamble that love exists, and do a loving act.  ❜  

❛    i know i ruined your life. i suffer for it every day.  ❜  

❛   don’t let yourself get killed for… for pride. i’ve seen it kill too many folk.  ❜  

❛    you and me, we ain’t decent… but those folk… they were.  ❜  

❛   we’re more ghosts than people.  ❜  

❛   despite my best efforts to the contrary… it turns out i’ve won.  ❜  

❛   i gave you all i had … i did.  ❜  

❛   this whole time, I’ve blamed myself for that decision.  ❜  

❛   do you think even the worst person can change…? That everybody can be a good person, if they just try? ❜  

❛   i don’t want to break their hearts all over again. it’s better if they never see me.  ❜  

❛   please leave me alone. i can’t come back. i just … can’t, okay?  ❜  

❛   no matter the struggles or hardships you faced… you strived to do the right thing, you refused to hurt anyone. ❜  

❛    people like you don’t ever want to be happy.  ❜  

❛   i don’t want to let go. i’m not ready to say goodbye yet.  ❜
