Carrd ‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾ Prompts ‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾ Questions ‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾ Active Verse: Chinese Fantasy
Out of context things I’ve said while playing Skyrim {Sentence Starters}
“And I drank poison.”
“That right there’s a ghost.”
“Why are you on the roof?”
“I’ll steal the clothes right off ya.”
“My husband is stuck in the wall.”
“Oh god, I angered a floating cow.”
“Why can’t I boop a dragon’s snoot?”
“I’m gonna steal stuff from the ghost.”
“That’s… that’s not how you do that??”
“You can’t hurt me, I’m a floofy doggo.”
“Didn’t know those could fly, but alright?”
“Why can’t I decorate my home with bones?”
“Oops… didn’t mean to yell at you that hard.”
“I wanted that gold, but it’s stuck to the plate.”
“Fine, stab me. But, I’m taking all the alcohol.”
“Okay, sure, TECHNICALLY that was my fault.”
“How did you…? I shot you. I freaking shot you!”
“Why are you trying to sell my trash back to me?”
“I think you need to drop the sword and sit down.”
“Oh, he just yeeted himself out that window, okay.”
“I would feel bad about that, but he was being rude.”
“I have befriended the goblins! I am the goblin god!”
“Heh, I’ll clear your skies, if you know what I mean.”
“Oh. Oh no, these are drugs. You’re selling me drugs.”
“Why is there a dead dude here? Who killed this dude?”
“I have never considered punching a child until now…”
“I have thirty wheels of cheese and it’s still not enough.”
“I have six skulls in my pocket, solely for the aesthetic.”
“Yes, hello, hi, I would like to purchase one drug, please.”
“Note to self: don’t yell at the plates, people don’t like that.”
“He kicked me in the face and still didn’t know I was there.”
“Why can I pickpocket a necklace, but not a piece of bread?”
“Why are you hitting me? WHY ARE YOU HITTING ME?”
“Ooh, brutal death and dismemberment… been there, buddy.”
“I just drank forty bottles of wine in a row. I should be dead.”
“Hold up, stop hitting me for a second… I need to eat cheese.”
“I’ll punch you right in the mouth. I don’t care, I’m invincible.”
“I just picked up a flower, why am I carrying too much to run?”
“I can ride dragons. And I'mma ride one right into ____’s house.”
“The F-I-N-E-S-T weapons and armor… we both know that’s a fib.”
“I’m afraid of him sneaking into my house and trying to sell me stuff.”
“Let me out of the door. Let me out… let me out of this freaking door.”
“How to be a Hero of Myth and Legend… step one: take all the cheese.”
“I did nothing to deserve this… except stab that dude. And rob that house.”
“If I get a dragon stuck in my house, does that mean I can keep it as a pet?”
“I just levitated in front of you, and you’re gonna talk to me about desserts?”
“You keep sassing me like that and I’ll send YOU to the ‘Cloud District’, ya get me?”
“I didn’t push him off the top of the tower. He fell off. After I hit him with a few arrows.”
“Just hear me out: what if a buncha monsters just, y'know, happened to show up and kill him?”
“Sure, I might not be able to sneak, or stab people, or aim my bow, but I’m still a deadly assassin.”

mentor/mentee vibes (because ur worth it–)
aka i really love the energy of this dynamic, but unfortunately this whole effort turned into me typing down actual dialogue that happened in my car while my poor father tried to teach me how to drive. but they make for fun threads! bon appetit!
from the mentor.
“ you’re doing it wrong. ”
“ would you like me to show you how to do it? ”
“ that… that’s not how you do it. ”
“ maybe this mentoring stuff requires patience that i don’t have. ”
“ keep doing it like that, and you’ll end up hurting yourself. ”
“ correct me if i’m wrong, but that’s not how i showed you to do it, is it? ”
“ okay, alright, look at me. you looking? do it exactly like i’m doing it. ”
“ move your feet, come on, you’ve got to move if you don’t want to end up flat on your ass again! ”
“ look… it’s progress, yeah? you’re better than you were before. ”
“ don’t beat yourself up; it’s a tricky move, nobody gets it right the first time. ”
“ okay, let’s… let’s try a different tactic. ”
“ you’re overthinking it. don’t think; just be in the moment. ”
“ stop, stop… alright. looking back on what you’ve just done, what do you think i’m going to say? ”
“ there’s definitely plenty of room for improvement. ”
“ ah… god, okay, don’t cry… it’s not as bad as it looks, you’re really not as bad at this as you think! ”
“ we’ll get there together. ”
“ okay. time for a break, yeah? let’s stop for now, catch a breath, we can come back to it later. ”
“ you obviously don’t enjoy any of this; why do you want me to teach you so badly? ”
“ i could teach you, if you’d like? ”
“ come on, like i showed you, remember? ”
“ feet apart, hands up; anticipate your opponent’s movements! ”
“ alright… don’t think about getting hit. this isn’t a fight. it’s a dance. you move in response and in anticipation of your opponent. ”
“ who the hell taught you to do that?! ”
“ that wasn’t terrible! you didn’t butcher it this time! ”
“ wake up. wake up, come on, up and at ‘em. you said you wanted to learn, so come on. up you get! ”
“ that was good! hell, that was brilliant! you knocked me off my feet! good job! ”
“ you need to stop worrying about hurting me. you gonna apologize and pay the hospital bills of whatever bad guy you go against next time? ”
“ i’m proud of you. ”
“ you’re doing great! “
from the mentee
“ can you teach me how to do that? “
“ i did it! “
“ okay, there’s no need to be dramatic, i wasn’t that bad! “
“ i AM trying. “
“ oh god, oh, i’m so sorry! did i hurt you? “
“ i need your help with this. okay? i can’t do this alone. “
“ you’re the expert, right? “
“ i’ve seen you fight; i wanna be as good as you! “
“ people’s lives are at stake if i lose. their blood’s gonna be on my hands, and it’ll be on yours, too, if you don’t help me. “
