dimension 20: a court of fey & flowers.
the following prompts were taken from a court of fey & flowers, the fourteenth season of dimension 20, an actual play tabletop roleplaying web series, known for its cast of professional comedians & improv artists, with most of the campaigns taking place in a new setting each time. a court of fey & flowers was the fourteenth campaign of the series, based on the idea of a meeting of multiple fey courts at an event known as the bloom, in the style of a regency - era period drama. some prompts have been lightly edited for roleplaying suitability. please note ― these prompts may include mentions of violence, war, injuries, death, explicit drug use, sexual content, including innuendo, & other things some might find upsetting. feel free to change pronouns & prompts as you see fit !
❛ this was a lot, & i regret it. ❜
❛ follow your heart, & make good choices, or at least, bad ones in private. ❜
❛ the flow of magic is natural here, & it waxes & wanes according to its own unknowable clock. ❜
❛ when magic surges here, the entire realm reacts in a riotous celebration of life. ❜
❛ [ name / title ], are you ill at ease ? ❜
❛ what, is this uncomfortable for you ? ❜
❛ if you all applaud for me, i’ll stab you. ❜
❛ you’re not in charge of the court yet, & i am here specifically to keep an eye on you, & that’s what i will do. ❜
❛ i know you’re excited to frolic in the flowers, but i would kindly remind you of who you represent. ❜
❛ the only thing that will be debased, [ name ], is your low expectations of me. ❜
❛ i’m going to go finish getting ready, & i suggest you do the same. ❜
❛ will you be bringing your beastie with you ? ❜
❛ i will make you proud, & you will see that i am the better child. ❜
❛ i will be your best [ boy / girl ], going forth. ❜
❛ well, when you’re friends with the people delivering invitations, things can get changed. ❜
❛ give me ‘til the next moon. ❜
❛ no interlopers shall harm or besmirch any members of the court while they do their important work rumpusing ! ❜
❛ oh my god, i’m obsessed with these salt goblins. ❜
❛ oh, do we need to clap ? ❜
❛ are you prepared for your mission at the bloom ? ❜
❛ it is my fondest hope that i might die doing as you have ordered me to do. ❜
❛ know that i follow the code of goblin chivalry with every fibre of my being, & have dedicated myself to mischief, mayhem, sneakery, rumpus, & ruin. ❜
❛ with all my might, i shall not fail you in this endeavour. ❜
❛ a true goblin never does as they're told, never tells as they've done, & never follows a rule, least of all this one. ❜
❛ i wanted to do it, so it was right ! i do whatever i want ! i'm a goblin ! are you hurt ? ❜
❛ i will avenge your honour. ❜
❛ everything's exactly the way i would have it to be, & therefore, perfect. ❜
❛ everyone who was supposed to be here from every court worth knowing has arrived, except ... ❜
❛ there's no secrets between us. ❜
❛ your presence is requested on the northern lawns for a small gathering. ❜
❛ my schedule is quite busy, i'm packed, but i can't turn down an invitation, & a mysterious one at that, i'm intrigued. ❜
❛ i see that the decorations are splendid as ever. you have truly outdone yourself. ❜
❛ i'm not familiar with pants. ❜
❛ it has been some time, i believe, since last we beheld each other. ❜
❛ let us be clear ! ostrich chariot, pulled by doves. ❜
❛ i know it's a lot of doves, but it seems like it should be more doves, frankly. ❜
❛ now, i know that perhaps i have had in the past a reputation of being a rake & a scoundrel & a scamp & a rapscallion & — ❜
❛ this year, i just wanted everyone to know that i have matured a bit, & i seek not just carnal pleasures, but a love match. ❜
❛ i mean, satisfying other people is my kink, as we all know. ❜
❛ [ name ], this is three a.m. behaviour ! ❜
❛ & you fell into your cups, & then fell into bed, & broke [ their / my ] heart. ❜
❛ hi, no thank you, i'm not trying to associate with you. ❜
❛ is this what you want ? is this good for you ? ❜
❛ i can't be seen with you. ❜
❛ this is really hard for me because i fucking love a duel, but i'm turning over a new feather. ❜
❛ both duelling & drunken duelling are off the table. ❜
❛ i do apologize for my behaviour. it was an emotional time for all, the undoing of ... what was to be an exciting bond, sent us all into a tizzy. ❜
❛ i can only ask that we set out on this new journey on a different foot than the last. ❜
❛ if i could open up my chest & show you my heart, i would. ❜
❛ that is the most complicated shit i can think of. [ name ], is it just me, or are we eating a lot of shit ? ❜
❛ i've seen your name in the papers recently. ❜
❛ now now, [ name ], that was in the past. we do not dwell on the past. this is a new bloom. let us start anew, please. ❜
❛ [ name ], you make me blush, which is difficult for my particular complexion. ❜
❛ anyhow, when i heard that you were arriving, or were to attend the bloom, i wanted to get you something particularly special to say, sort of, what's up ? ❜
❛ these will get you stoned as shit. ❜
❛ this must go differently. you understand that, right ? ❜
❛ do you know who you are ? because i think you constantly forget yourself around those cretins. ❜
❛ all of that has yielded all of this, & we cannot endure another season of your misdeeds. ❜
❛ if you're leaving it to me, i will be happy to make the match on your behalf. ❜
❛ it would be wonderful to experience you with half of a fucking idea for once. ❜
❛ i cannot wait to make the most fantastic match that will make you so proud. ❜
❛ if you return from the bloom without a partner of merit, or with any stain on your already sullied reputation, i will deal with you as i see fit. ❜
❛ that's what i get for getting caught fucking slippin'. ❜
❛ if anyone in this bloom believes that you will behave in your utmost best self, i'm willing to give as much gold as i possibly can to them. ❜
❛ now if you're able to make it through the entire occasion being on your best behaviour, finding a suitable match, you will be rewarded so greatly. ❜
❛ what is a coin to a fey ? ❜
❛ i've realized it would behoove me to inquire about the specifics of our glorious little wager. ❜
❛ i would never want you to think me ungrateful in forgetting to thank you for engaging me in this little game. ❜
❛ to demonstrate my growth before my many friends is the greatest gift of all. ❜
❛ you can think on that if you want. & if you choose to refuse a response, that's an option, but will come with a social price. ❜
❛ you're perfect & — hey, you're perfect & beyond reproach. ❜
❛ what have we done ! [ name ], we are ruined ! ❜
❛ is your quill filled with blood ? ❜
❛ i wish for all manner of civility & of political union between our courts, even in the absence of such ties as there might exist elsewhere. ❜
❛ those are good reflexes for just a [ lady / gentleman / title ] of the court. ❜
❛ my dearest [ name ], it was so good to see you again after so many years. ❜
❛ [ name ], i require counsel. ❜
❛ also, do we stop calling them names now that they’re hot as shit ? ❜
❛ to hold their eye is to hold the eye of all those who are attracted to them, so i don't think there's anything to be lost in engaging. ❜
❛ [ name ], time certainly has been kind to you, & i intend to do the same. ❜
❛ looking forward to trying those drugs you gave me. ❜
❛ [ name ], this is only a fantastic thing. the most eligible [ bachelor / bachelorette / title ] at the entire bloom is pursuing both of us. ❜
❛ do you believe it to be some sort of throuple they’re attempting to engage us in ? or do you think they’re attempting to pit us against one another ? ❜
❛ [ name ], i would never be pit against you. ❜
❛ oh, the games we are playing ! ❜
❛ this mature thing, i feel like i’m really growing into it. ❜
❛ [ name ], are you expecting someone ? ❜
❛ [ name ], did you get sexted ? ❜
❛ a rejection of their affection would not behoove us. ❜
❛ [ name ], what would i do without you ? ❜
❛ wow, a goblin's mouth is incredible. ❜
❛ thank you for doing the kindness of being seen walking arm in arm with one such as myself. ❜
❛ you're here. you were invited just like all of us, right ? ❜
❛ in order to be deemed of worth & value, it is necessary at times to walk a perilous path, & engage in actions that may result in failure. ❜
❛ i didn't know you can come uncourted, or not belonging to a court. ❜
❛ i said what the fuck i said. ❜
❛ are you trying to hide any part of this conversation ? 'cause there's people everywhere. ❜
❛ i mean, keep my name outta your mouth. ❜
❛ what a nightmare. incredible work. ❜
❛ what a cool thing they did, that's so awesome. i mean yes, it's great, but it's like, they talk about it a lot, like every day. ❜
❛ well, i mean only to say that your family is of great stature. ❜
❛ goblins live their entire lives trying to do something as nightmarish as bringing a wooden boy to life. ❜
❛ um, since we're getting to know each other, what would you say is the most nightmarish thing you've done ? ❜
❛ i will only say that occasionally, a person of low grace such as myself blunders into overly praising that which they have been taught to praise. ❜
❛ we're so focused on the fireworks & the prestige of everything that we forget where we belong, & that's with everybody else. ❜
❛ i am honoured by the trust & confidence you place in me. ❜
❛ i know it caused some great pain recently to some members of my court that certain judgments were made. ❜
❛ forgive my plodding, clumsy nature in these manners. i am a much better speaker with a blade than with words. ❜
❛ i suppose as well that it would be improper to ask for you to divulge any more of the workings of your own court than you already have. ❜
❛ it has often been said that you walk in circles of your own, & keep your own counsel. ❜
❛ well, it seems like both of you are having a great time. ❜
❛ i don't want to interrupt, but i already have, it seems. ❜
❛ you don't have a drink in your hand. are you okay ? ❜
❛ none can shake it like goblins. ❜
❛ hi, [ name. ] may we speak in private ? ❜
❛ are we going into that dark corner right there ? ❜
❛ i've been a huge fan of yours for a very long time. the last party you threw was just wow, incredible. ❜
❛ there was a moment where a watchful eye would have clocked we made eye contact that lasted a bit too long, wouldn't you say ? ❜
❛ you have very beautiful eyes. ❜
❛ i do think that i'm afraid that some people might be having thoughts about our relationship, seeing that we're both of the same court. ❜
❛ my dear [ name ], this must be the first bloom that you've ever attended. ❜
❛ everybody's so weird. ❜
❛ my dear, things like this aren't usually done this way. ❜
❛ i just feel like you're acting very strange. ❜
❛ the rules set in place for our wager were a bit vague, & i would like to sharpen the rules of this engagement. ❜
❛ i may steal you away at any time for tomorrow's event if it pleases you. ❜
❛ i want to remind you that fey contracts are binding. & the penalty for breaking such contracts is, well... ❜
❛ hold me back, hold me back, hold me back, hold me back ! ❜
❛ this is fucking duelling behaviour. ❜
❛ oh, that's kind of a power move, isn't it ? ❜
❛ they are violent about you interfering in their purpose here. ❜
❛ i can only debase myself for having overreached. ❜
❛ i am a … big, dumb blockhead & my brain is full of rocks. ❜
❛ if you want to stab me, it would be an honour to shed blood as a show of my deep sorrow, shame, & embarrassment at my impropriety. ❜
❛ i shall endeavour to commit myself to greater humility. i shall not stray from my place again. ❜
❛ i'm just going to stab myself a little bit just to make sure we're all good. ❜
❛ i miss you dearly. the true price of every minute i am called away from you weighs on me. i will see you in my dreams. ❜
❛ my god, you're sending secret letters ? ❜
❛ how many of those do you have ? can i have one ? ❜
❛ nothing could be more this season than us clapping for a gift we do not understand. ❜
❛ oh, you received the curse ! ❜
❛ there was a small dish of macarons & some of the goblins pleasured themselves with it & now the macarons are ruined so… ❜
❛ this was not meant for me ? ❜
❛ gosh, i wish we could take a couple shots & celebrate. ❜
❛ this is the perfect time for a bit of snuff. ❜
❛ nothing more terrifying than being at a party, & seeing the party planner running. ❜
❛ this is the event everyone in the bloom is talking about, so congratulations to you. ❜
❛ what would a worthy suitor be in your mind ? or is it a matter of there being love there ? ❜
❛ it is simply that love is a fickle thing. ❜
❛ i'm well - versed in passion, but the language of love is ... i'm still doing duolingo. ❜
❛ it seems to me that you have never been in love before. ❜
❛ i've never met such a foe ! ah ! ❜
❛ now, the other part of the wager, i'm afraid to say, is a bit of the dirty part. ❜
❛ well, as long as there are no witnesses, it never really happened, now did it ? ❜
❛ oh, come on. i'm not a stickler. i'm not a stick in the mud. ❜
❛ [ name ], i find myself growing quite admiring of you. ❜
❛ we have agreed on terms. the wager is set & the hunt is on. ❜
❛ i'm very excited to see what this bloom has in store for you. ❜
❛ these secrets are stressing me out, man. ❜
❛ i will do my best to elude you. ❜
❛ it's just, it's a new spell. i've never used it before. ❜
❛ the game is afoot. the excitement is on. i will emerge triumphant. ❜
❛ will you accompany me on this hunt ? ❜
❛ it seems like everyone else ran off with the exception of you & i. what say you & i team up ? ❜
❛ well, one man's trash is another man's shit - caked macaron. ❜
❛ am i supposed to do this ? is this cheating ? ❜
❛ no, i've screwed up. i made a mistake, i did a bad. ❜
❛ i can give you mud ! i have it in my pocket. ❜
❛ you're tall & strong &, um, i have a lot of duties. i mean, you could help. ❜
❛ now, i have an idea of what you're asking, but i want you to be very specific. what would you like me to do ? ❜
❛ please come down from the tree. i can't hear you. ❜
❛ it seems you just want to put mud on you. ❜
❛ in order to get a fey's attention, we must build a shrine. we must pay homage to it. that's what these are for. ❜
❛ the intention was never for me to find you. ❜
❛ your friends were rocks ? ❜
❛ do people not tell you that you're smart ? ❜
❛ right, 'cause you're surrounded by people who always agree with you, i get it. ❜
❛ do you know the story of the blair witch project ? ❜
❛ it's sensual now, right ? ❜
❛ [ name ], i worry about you in the glade there in the open. there is space in my hiding spot for two if you would wish to join me. ❜
❛ you are asking me to go up there & stay next to your mud - covered body ? ❜
❛ it would be an honour to make sure that you are safe here in the dark forest at night. ❜
❛ also, you are extremely visible & ruining my trap. ❜
❛ i've given you offense. ❜
❛ hey, hey, you know what ? go fuck yourself. ❜
❛ turnabout is fair play, & i am prey no longer. ❜
❛ i have never been bested, & i will not start tonight. ❜
❛ are they about to swing on me ? 'cause i just wanted to talk about found footage. ❜
❛ you know, i think with the fog, there'd be no witnesses, so we could have a go & get a little naughty. ❜
❛ i deeply wanted to have a moment where i could connect with you, but i realize it's just not possible. ❜
❛ if you go right now, it won't be too late. you could still win. ❜
❛ i am in need of remembering that i can be a fool often. ❜
❛ did you want to hit me ? you can. ❜
❛ i have to go. i cannot be here. it is incredibly unbecoming of me to be here. ❜
❛ i apologize profusely, & i will make it up to you in the future, but for right now, please go to them. leave me here. ❜
❛ you deserve what you were seeking when we stepped into the forest together. ❜
❛ it's time to be a big boy. ❜
❛ as soon as you pulled out your weapon, all the muscles that you haven't worked became apparent. ❜
❛ i compel a duel between you & i. we — i'm duelling you. ❜
❛ no, [ name ], it's witchcraft ! don't fall for it ! ❜
❛ ah, these ouchies need kissing ! ❜
❛ i will soothe your wounds in but a moment. ❜
❛ this is a classic romantic trap. ❜
❛ i have never been bested, but there's a first time for everything. ❜
❛ ah, i need — i need sexy help. ❜
❛ [ name ] can be very violent, but i am of a softer touch. ❜
❛ [ you're / i'm ] supposed to be the biggest catch this year. ❜
❛ i wanted to ask your advice about something. ❜
❛ i can't do this. i can't fucking do this. ❜
❛ i keep saying things that sound ridiculous. i can't do this. ❜
❛ steel your nerves, [ name. ] ❜
❛ i'm trying, i'm trying, i'm trying. ❜
❛ i'm scared every second of my fucking life, so advice fucking please now ! ❜
❛ no one, alive or otherwise, knows how hard you are working more than me. ❜
❛ let's go wander around a bit. let's go take my weird dog for a walk or something zany like that. ❜
❛ it turns out that the real hunt was the friends we made along the way. ❜
❛ your society has made an olympic event out of jumping to conclusions. ❜
❛ so is this something that everyone's talking about, or is this something you are talking about ? ❜
❛ i'm sorry for what's about to happen, [ name. ] ❜
❛ oh, think about this. you really wanna do that ? ❜
❛ might there be another path to allay our precarious situation ? ❜
❛ i, while growing up as a child, constantly got in trouble for making, & i quote, mouth sounds. ❜
❛ i will be buried with this fucking thing before i give it up. ❜
❛ it's just a two - mile walk in a climate you're uncomfortable with. ❜
❛ [ name ] do you wanna be here ? ❜
❛ my dearest [ name ] — actually, not my dearest — i wouldn't— i'm not quite sure how to address, per se, in that regard… ❜
❛ i am not a child anymore, & i should be making real friends, ❜
❛ love & magic are always worth it. ❜
❛ i simply want to reaffirm my affections for you & my eternal desire to someday, joyfully, make our debut. ❜
❛ know that though i hear & see everything that happens within my court, i do not now, nor have i ever, passed judgment on you. ❜
❛ the gifts are weird this year. ❜
❛ i must sincerely apologize for my boorish behaviour the other day. ❜
❛ imagine stealing you from [ name ] mid - conversation, only to bully you about keeping appearances. ❜
❛ to be honest, i have no idea what has come over me. ❜
❛ you made such a kind gesture to open up the gates of friendship, & in my nervousness, i'm afraid i closed the door shut & padlocked it, throwing away the key. ❜
❛ is there any chance for reconciliation ? ❜
❛ please forgive me for thinking of my status before thinking of you, ❜
❛ i don't know what i would do if you were not by my side. ❜
❛ i'm not questioning your judgment, just double - checking. ❜
❛ i have an event to organize, & i am afraid i am getting swept up in the affairs of the court. ❜
❛ i feel a strong connection to you, [ name ], & to be quite frank, it scares me. ❜
❛ i have never been truly myself with anyone, & as you grabbed me by the wrist & looked into my eyes, i felt something i've never known before. ❜
❛ i don't know what it is, & against my better judgment, i am willing to pursue it. ❜
❛ [ name ], what's wrong ? it's too much, is it ? ❜
❛ i was out being a deer. what the fuck did i miss ? ❜
❛ i ... i'm afraid i've caught feelings for [ name. ] ❜
❛ we are all a pile of secrets, & i think you just have to find the person you're willing to be truthful to, or whatever. ❜
❛ i cannot allow my feelings to get in the way of my duty. ❜
❛ you know i love you, right ? ❜
❛ i'm very scared & i feel like i've rushed into something that i've just been introduced to. ❜
❛ burn it. get rid of it. ❜
❛ i hate it here. it's sunny & it feels bad. ❜
❛ since i'm not always the best at speaking, i took the time, the better part of this morning, to put together a collection of pickup lines, lewd jokes, & rude drawings. ❜
❛ i'm actually realizing that this might have been a huge mistake — ❜
❛ are you a little bit rebellious or are you perhaps playing a longer con ? ❜
❛ i know that [ name / title ] has issues with your family. ❜
❛ i know that there are quite a bit of rumours & scandal that come with being such a party animal as yourself. ❜
❛ i think it's a wound i needed in order to bleed afresh so i could ask myself, why am i here ? ❜
❛ i would say it is sort of a curse of this society, that the things that define us could be used against us, & so we have to hold them very close to our chest, ❜
❛ i think i broke it a bit. ❜
❛ i let my dick take me wherever it leads me. i don't know. ❜
❛ [ name ], i was so surprised to hear from you, but very delighted. ❜
❛ your grandfather invented birds. that's a fact i know about you. ❜
❛ are you gonna bring out the drugs ? ❜
❛ i also know the rumours about me are that i get off on other people's pleasure. ❜
❛ i was wondering if you had, i don't know, any advice on proper decorum for these things. ❜
❛ i hear that you bring the party, & i, too, would one day like to bring the party. ❜
❛ in terms of decorum, i find it so interesting that you would come to ask me, because i actually have a pretty bad reputation. ❜
❛ when's the last time you went to the material plane ? ❜
❛ i hear that switching between the mortal plane & the fey realm does result in memory loss sometimes, or the fuzziness of the edges. ❜
❛ have you ingratiated yourself to many of your fellow court members ? ❜
❛ well, you know, i have a very large shadow to fill with my [ relative ], & all. ❜
❛ if i were to confide in you, i do feel that i'm not sure how certain members of the court of wonder feel about me. ❜
❛ you seem to be charm personified. ❜
❛ well, therein is the first lesson. they're always watching. anyone, everyone. ❜
❛ the choices you make, who you assort yourself with, who you chat with, who you walk with, it all matters. ❜
❛ is there anyone that has caught your eye ? ❜
❛ do you come seeking a love match yourself ? ❜
❛ & what do you seek in a match ? ❜
❛ oh, goodness. to be honest, i feel that my court, while wonderful, is boring. ❜
❛ i always feel the person laughing loudest in the room is often the saddest ❜
❛ i feel that there's just a malice behind the magic that i do not necessarily abide by. ❜
❛ i think we've all overspoken a little bit today, & sometimes that forms a bond. ❜
❛ there's a wide world out there, & this court, as wonderful as it is, just is pageantry. ❜
❛ well, it seems you very much move to the beat of your own drum. ❜
❛ i know you clocked my familiarity with [ place / person ], & you can hold that against me as you will. ❜
❛ remember today, the law of sneakery. ❜
❛ a true goblin never does what gets seen when they might to have done it where it wouldn't. ❜
❛ more secrets is more better to goblins. ❜
❛ what ? oh, are you sleepy ? are you a sleepy little guy ? ❜
❛ i'd slap you, but it'll kill you. ❜
❛ it has taken me forty - five minutes to write the past four sentences. ❜
❛ i wish that you were here. i wish that i could tell you that everything would be all right. ❜
❛ to what do i owe the honour of your visit ? ❜
❛ you have hurt a person i care about. ❜
❛ if i have given offence, then i'm honour - bound to amend it. ❜
❛ i am your humble servant, but i will not be made to feel a fool. ❜
❛ my dearest friend in the world has shed a tear over you, & i will not leave without satisfaction. ❜
❛ as my second, you will transport my weapon to the duel. ❜
❛ it's not my job to angle for a marriage. that's what [ name ] is doing. ❜
❛ you've inserted sand into the crack of my ass. ❜
❛ actually, i think you should leave me here this evening & go on your way. ❜
❛ would you allow me to turn you into a bird ? ❜
❛ is something the matter ? ❜
❛ i'm required to be a second for a duel. ❜
❛ this is someone else's mistakes. i'm absolutely going to spectate. ❜
❛ you're not tryin' to get rid of me, are you ? ❜
❛ i want to treat you as well as possible, because for the longest time you were my only friend. ❜
❛ you don't have to do that to me. no, no, no, no, no, stop, or i'll bow to you. ❜
❛ would it not be more important for me to take this as an opportunity to prove my worth ? ❜
❛ you're only saying that around me, right ? you don't say that around other people ? ❜
❛ do what you think is best. ❜
❛ i'm gonna go find a book about bringing people back from the dead. ❜
❛ oh my god, there you are. where have you been ? what's going on ? ❜
❛ i told you that i was doing like, a thing, & that you needed to leave me alone for like a hot second. ❜
❛ i can do like two cool things, & then i have to go to bed. ❜
❛ are you sending me on a fetch quest ? ❜
❛ keep your eyes trained on [ name. ] they are not who they seem. ❜
❛ wait, if you die, do i have to fight ? oh, fuck. ❜
❛ [ name ], what's your play ? ❜
❛ sorry, i'm caught in a moment here. what is it that you ask of me ? ❜
❛ i'm sorry, do you not see the battle that's about to take place ? ❜
❛ have you thought this through ? is this what you really wanna do ? ❜
❛ this is the biggest stretch of a fuckin' lifetime. ❜
❛ i, to be very clear, would wipe the floor with you. ❜
❛ why do this ? you have hurt me deeply. thought i was a friend. ❜
❛ the usual social lubricant of alcohol has been deprived of me. ❜
❛ a wrestling match, against me ? the slipperiest [ boy / girl ] ? ❜
❛ what have you lost that has put you in this position to begin with ? ❜
❛ i would like to let you know, in closing, after the ceremony of this particular ordeal, i extend to you a hand of friendship. ❜
❛ i would love to know what's upsetting you so. ❜
❛ if a secret should not be shared willingly, then i shall not be the one to share it. ❜
❛ if i reject a proposal of marriage, i would ask that people handle it with more grace in the future. ❜
❛ get my fainting couch, quickly ! quickly, i'm falling ! ❜
❛ i would love for you to take matters into your own hands. ❜
❛ remember who you are. ❜
❛ i saw an opportunity to strike, & i took it. ❜
❛ i've got no idea what the duel was about, i really don't. i have no clue. i straight - up have no clue. ❜
❛ my understanding, based on context alone, is that an attempt at kindness & civility from me was so odious to [ you / name ] that it moved [ you / them ] to tears ❜
❛ rather than having the courage to explain to me why my affections would be so onerous, i suppose i was so far beneath [ you / them ] that [ you / they ] saw fit that [ your / their ] assistant would be enough to reclaim [ your / their ] lost honour. ❜
❛ it's what they do. they twist intentions, & i'm so sorry that they did that to you, but i hope you remember this. ❜
❛ remember this slight, remember the choice that they made, that their court always makes. ❜
❛ you are best as a blunt instrument, & ought not to get caught up in the machinations of people who know only how to speak. ❜
❛ i was completely scared shitless, because last time we fought, you knocked me off my steed, & nearly killed me. ❜
❛ you don't have to sort of share your failures so aloud in front of everyone. ❜
❛ if anyone thinks that i have anything to do with the wonderfulness that is this event, then i'll absolutely tell them it was you. ❜
❛ i hear things & know things, & know that you're not necessarily on the up & up with people, or your court, or whatever. ❜
❛ i have so much to learn about everything here. ❜
❛ i don't know what you want from me. ❜
❛ i would never overstep, because i don't do that, because i'm wonderful. ❜
❛ you can eat those. they are safe, & not poisonous, because i would never do that. ❜
❛ [ name ] said you've been upset. leaking water, fluid from your eyes. ❜
❛ i don't want to talk about it right now. ❜
❛ i have so many questions to ask you, & i don't even know where to start. ❜
❛ i would hold nothing back from you. ❜
❛ i don't have time for my heart to be the center of anything. ❜
❛ i come last, always. i always have, & i always will. ❜
❛ how can we end it this way ? ❜
❛ what do you have to lose ? ❜
❛ you have everything to gain. ❜
❛ so if it's all going to end here, it might as well go off with a bang, right ? ❜
❛ is it okay if i hug you ? ❜
❛ if it doesn't work out, who cares ? ❜
❛ you're still yourself, & we're still here, & i will never leave you. ❜
❛ if they break your heart, i'll break their neck. ❜
❛ i only got one good hit in. ❜
❛ this isn't about me in this moment, & that's okay. ❜
❛ everything i've done is through fear. ❜
❛ i'm just changing the energy because i'm literally crying a little bit. ❜
❛ am i mistaken in saying that you were injured & poisoned, perhaps ? ❜
❛ oh, is this, sorry, is this for appearances ? ❜
❛ i simply want to offer to you an offer without expiration. ❜
❛ [ name ], you've got to close ! close ! we can only push so far ! ❜
❛ i know i’m a problem, okay ? i’m working on it ! ❜
❛ i know i'm not supposed to talk about it. ❜
❛ i'm sorry that you felt that you had to do that to begin with. ❜
❛ i understand what it's like to hide aspects of yourself. ❜
❛ great, well, if you'll excuse me, things are about to get very fucky very quickly. ❜
❛ i need to solve a problem i created. i'll see you in a second. ❜
❛ i will eat your face off ! ❜
❛ well, it would seem as though you take yet another swing at my reputation. ❜
❛ this is regular. this is a normal thing that happens. ❜
❛ are you taking my soul ? what was happening ? ❜
❛ if any of you touch me, i will end you here & now. ❜
❛ what the fuck are you ? ❜
❛ what's going on with your face ? ❜
❛ everyone here is very scary, but not you. ❜
❛ i have such a bad read on everybody. ❜
❛ i should've done this forever ago. what the heck was i so nervous about ? ❜
❛ you're not who you say you are. ❜
❛ perhaps this night we might adjourn for a stroll under the stars. ❜
❛ you are mine, & i am yours. ❜
❛ fuck yeah, fuck yeah, fuck yeah ! i'm fucking mature ! ❜
❛ [ name ], our reputations are exquisite right now. ❜
❛ the [ object ] seeks intention & will help you down the path of what you truly desire. ❜
❛ i have something to talk to you about. something very, very important, & i don't think i can talk to you about it here, but i, um … ❜
❛ i'd love to see [ name ] swallow a loss to you. ❜
❛ i'm great, i'm good, good. i'm just gonna cast lesser restoration on myself at the earliest convenience. ❜
❛ why is my hole not working ? ❜
❛ i think i'm seeking scandal & ruin. ❜
❛ a little bit of help, a little bit of harm. i can do it all. ❜
❛ i'm not taking a shit in the hedge maze. ❜
❛ i don't think that you're like the other people from your court, are you ? you're not like them, right ? ❜
❛ i don't get emotional. i don't know what's happening right now. my face is leaking ! ❜
❛ it is difficult showing one's true self. ❜
❛ i can't believe you gave me a cursed key ! ❜
❛ you had ideas about how much you mattered to me that were the height of arrogance. ❜
❛ there are several dead goblins in your bag. ❜
❛ sometimes when you spectate, you just wanna stir shit up just to see, you know ? ❜
❛ subtlety's not my skill. ❜
❛ you've been afflicted by what i can only assume was a very callously tossed spell your way. ❜
❛ you are by far the most capable of our family. you are sort of the crown jewel. ❜
❛ what are you doing ? is this a trick ? ❜
❛ dear [ name ], get fucked ! ❜
❛ at times it is hard to work with this court ! ❜
❛ i don't see why this has to be fought over. ❜
❛ all hail the weaver of fate, [ name. ] ❜
❛ as the days of the bloom grow long, i yearn for the day at which point our love will become known. ❜
❛ [ name ], you will not believe who i just got a letter from. ❜
❛ i wonder if you would meet me to discuss some addendums to our wager. ❜
❛ the mirror pool's portal's now sealed. what can be done ? ❜
❛ i would like to quell this vicious rumour into non - existence. ❜
❛ is that supposed to be some kind of pickup line ? ❜
❛ i think i'm in it deep. i think [ name ]’s in love with me. ❜
❛ i want very much to be there in person to give my blessing to the match you have sought out. ❜
❛ word has reached me here, & you have made me proud. ❜
❛ do not falter in your moment of glory. ❜
❛ well, i mean, i won't lie, i'm already engaged, so — ❜
❛ you are engaged & you intend to break it off ? ❜
❛ [ name ], i'm married. ❜
❛ okay, okay, fine, get me liquored up. ❜
❛ i'll tell you everything, but i need you to understand that i will be putting you in danger if i tell you any more. ❜
❛ what do i have to do to buy your silence ? ❜
❛ i'm sorry, i panicked. i just didn't want to be in the room as you were saying more things. ❜
❛ we can have a conversation, & if you want to kill me at the end of it, you can kill me. ❜
❛ i need you to know that i chose to stay with you through all of this. my loyalty is with you. ❜
❛ are you in love with them ? ❜
❛ [ name ], you can do no wrong in my eyes. ❜
❛ i'm dying right now because i just want to fuck around. ❜
❛ what's the core of what you desire from this ? ❜
❛ nothing may be stricken from memory here at the bloom where all of the courts talk. ❜
❛ a vicious rumour was spread. the honour of my court must be maintained. ❜
❛ ah, so certain stories continue to be spread. ❜
❛ meetings of this nature can be grave affairs. ❜
❛ that's for sure the best you could do ? ❜
❛ somebody's got to fuck a salt goblin. ❜
❛ what is the meaning of this ensemble you have ? ❜
❛ i have a meeting with [ name. ] they, i believe, think i am planning to murder them, ❜
❛ we've got to start killing people in this campaign. ❜
❛ i will hear the sounds you're making, & i will nod empathetically at those sounds so you feel heard & understood. ❜
❛ well, that comforted me very little. but i appreciate the intention there. ❜
❛ i barely know you, but i feel like i understand you so well. ❜
❛ what if they do not reciprocate my feelings ? because that reality would be insufferable. ❜
❛ would you rather live in a world where you didn't even try ? ❜
❛ i won't say anything, because of course this is about you, but i'm gonna look sickening, okay ? ❜
❛ why would you do that ? what are you doing to me ? ❜
❛ ah, you've cast magic on me. ❜
❛ i've — how do i put this ? i've written checks my body can't quite cash. ❜
❛ i never intended for you to fall madly in love with me. i was simply playing the game of diplomacy. ❜
❛ i want the best for you, & that is the truth. ❜
❛ sometimes people need to believe what they need to believe. ❜
❛ [ name ], please. you think i'm going to miss this ? ❜
❛ [ name ], guilt is not going to serve you in your quest. ❜
❛ i am not in love with you. ❜
❛ it's been only one duel, & no murder ! ❜
❛ we can bring them back from the dead. we don't have to make it permanent. ❜
❛ i am not one possessed of affinity for high society. ❜
❛ you were born to a family that has put you in this place, & i was not. ❜
❛ magic seems so useful. what's that like ? ❜
❛ i was taken by the fey, yes. & they raised me to be one of them. ❜
❛ good rule of tactics. never give your opponent the same trick twice. ❜
❛ better for you to drink that than me. ❜
❛ it has come to the attention of the court that there may be interlopers of a highly dangerous nature attending this bloom. ❜
❛ do you have a means of dispelling this suspicion on my behalf ? ❜
❛ courts are large, & they encompass multitudes, & there are those of us who can contradict the nature of our court. ❜
❛ i find the members of this court to be arrogant, vain, haughty, small - minded, & of a nature most unbecoming to those of us who wish to uphold true values, like rumpus & mischief ! ❜
❛ i am of the opinion that your court shares common cause with my own. ❜
❛ we have both been wronged in our own time by this court, & perhaps are seen by certain factions within the realms as lesser than others. ❜
❛ if you seek satisfaction, i would understand, but i wish to know the manner of your silence. ❜
❛ is our belief that there was one malefactor a delusion, & in fact there was never a hope of an alliance with your court ? ❜
❛ oh, there's hand - holding happening. ❜
❛ i know that you're looking to find magic. ❜
❛ great alliances forged in the dark of night are the bread & butter of this court. ❜
❛ you started that rumour ? ❜
❛ i offered something that i thought would elevate the station of my court in my moment of humiliation. ❜
❛ i warn you the dangerous nature of rumours. ❜
❛ in a fog of mystery, the question of my honour is at stake, & i cannot suffer this insult. ❜
❛ you were used, [ name. ]. know that. ❜
❛ you were the instrument in which all of this chaos started. what did you get out of it ? ❜
❛ you are so attentive to other people's feelings. what about your own ? ❜
❛ you deserve this more than i. ❜
❛ why bring out things that have been left dead & buried for so long ? you might uncover things you don't want. ❜
❛ i've read like so many fucking books. it's like my trademark. ❜
❛ i would never be so rude as to deny hospitality to the leader of a court, diminished though it may be. ❜
❛ shouldn't i be asking you how you feel about a loose end appearing ? ❜
❛ my fear, & my fear for my court, is where your ambitions lie next. ❜
❛ people move courts all the time. that's all. ❜
❛ i'm gonna get drunk & maybe do some weird drugs, if that's alright. ❜
❛ you know i get off on other people's pleasure. ❜
❛ oh god, i can't imagine only having eighty years worth of orgasms. ❜
❛ oh my god, you’re back. i thought you would be a bummer forever. ❜
❛ welcome ! you are well worth the wait. ❜
❛ i'm not coming back if the bloom has diminished to the point where the winnings for a grand wager are a lesson. ❜
❛ i've heard what's been said about you, that you're secretly in a relationship ? ❜
❛ should we have a toast to our potential nuptials ? ❜
❛ i have a bit of a sense that, storied though your house may be, it is in a bit of disrepair ❜
❛ i had an interesting request, if that's all right. ❜
❛ sentiment, where i grew up, is seen as a weakness ❜
❛ it has been the nature of my family to pit siblings against one another for quite a time, because there was this idea of scarcity of love in my family. ❜
❛ i pledge my oath to your cause, & let's bring this entire fucking thing down. ❜
❛ what a hilarious event it would be were things to go incredibly wrong. am i right ? ❜
❛ what have i done to deserve such a gift ? ❜
❛ wow, this ball is off to a great start. ❜
❛ oh, i do hope we have some death. ❜
❛ i wish all dances came with instructions in the lyrics. ❜
❛ how is your adventures in finding love ? has that been fruitful ? ❜
❛ i've heard the rumours you've turned down so many proposals. ❜
❛ is there any consideration that you might indulge yourself in something you've previously denied yourself ? ❜
❛ i mean, once you ate a feather. ❜
❛ i do hope that i'm able to maintain the decorum you require this party. ❜
❛ i was gonna give you a supportive slap on the ass, but now i'm realizing i should ask for consent before i do that. ❜
❛ we got this. we've been drunker in even more important situations before. ❜
❛ don't ask questions you don't want the answer to. ❜
❛ i do apologize for laying hands upon you, [ name. ] the noise, i worried that we were under attack. ❜
❛ it was just the magnificence of the fireworks that truly startled me. i'm quite fine. ❜
❛ i'm sure you must be being bothered by everyone asking you to dance. ❜
❛ [ name ] do you want me to get rid of this rumour for you ? ❜
❛ i want that box office cash ! i don't want a fucking oscar ! ❜
❛ i would certainly say that the mortal plane can have its own bewitching effect. ❜
❛ [ name ] ‘s not dead. they didn't die. i didn't murder them. ❜
❛ [ name ] offered me a loveless political marriage. great, that's honestly what i'm here for. ❜
❛ you seem to be spectacularly deceptive & slippery. ❜
❛ oh [ name ], i didn't mean to try to complicate your relationship or anything. ❜
❛ i don't know what your deal is, but i don't like it, yeah. ❜
❛ yeah, i can't actually lie without passing out. ❜
❛ don't mistake their innocence of means for an innocence of heart. ❜
❛ thanks to you, our court's prospects are renewed. ❜
❛ i must admit, my feet still hurt from when you stepped on them as i was teaching you how to do the electric slide. ❜
❛ i want to know you, [ name. ] i want to know you like no one else knows you. ❜
❛ i know it's a little different than what you planned, but i think it was good. i had a good time. ❜
❛ do you have a good time at these events ? or do you just do the things that need to be done ? ❜
❛ i'm afraid that you are bound by obligation & not love. ❜
❛ if you tell me to step back from the next event, i will do it, but i won't enjoy it. ❜
❛ it pleases me greatly to be of use to you. ❜
❛ you know that there are no secrets between us. & i must confess something to you, [ name. ] ❜
❛ you don't mean anything that you're saying. ❜
❛ i regret deeply that i did not see what was coming & intervene, but what is done is done, & people talk. ❜
❛ we do not concern ourselves with the murmurings of lesser courts. ❜
❛ i wished only for your happiness & the sense of freedom to move about & do what you do best, but i realize my mistake. ❜
❛ why must we hold on to the magic that controls the bloom ? ❜
❛ i do not fault you for your outburst. it's in your nature. ❜
❛ have you engaged in carnal delights yet ? ❜
❛ ah, [ name ], my potential betrothed. ❜
❛ i am sorry. who would ever love me, you know ? ❜
❛ are you so derelict in your duty that you would like to risk my well - being by moving on ? ❜
❛ in offering a gentleman's slap to initiate the duel, i will attempt to decapitate them in that moment. ❜
❛ most of our company here, i would say, were born to their position. you & i were not. ❜
❛ by blood & fang, we will prove that we have as much of a right to be here as any ! ❜
❛ in love & war you must not miss your moment to strike. ❜
❛ so you've decided for me ? is that what you're doing ? ❜
❛ i am not going to put you in the position i put you in before by being forward. ❜
❛ for me to have known even a single day of love is a gift that i never thought i would be lucky enough to have, & i will not squander it hoping for more. ❜
❛ i am ordered to marry. & i ... & i will not ... ❜
❛ i just, i want you to know that courts, the royalty, the frivolity, the structure of them, it's all smoke & mirrors. ❜
❛ i also have the sense that our court is moving towards some major step, & i've been omitted from that conversation. ❜
❛ many have noticed your ambition, & you have been thwarted, if i'm not incorrect, at every single step of the way. ❜
❛ hardly a shining example of our court. ❜
❛ i would like to know what we are doing, & i would like to actually do it. ❜
❛ everyone else in my family seems to be flailing & embarrassing us every step of the way. ❜
❛ who are you to order me around ? ❜
❛ i have watched generation after generation devour themselves to move to my throne & none are worthy. why do you think yourself different ? ❜
❛ you, you cannot help but walk in the light. ❜
❛ you need to be seen, to be loved, to be held. ❜
❛ i have chosen my domain, & you think yourself above it. ❜
❛ i'm included in what we're doing or it doesn't succeed. & that's not a threat. that's a very ardent prediction. ❜
❛ i hope you are stronger than the rest. you are bolder, certainly. ❜
❛ i haven't shared in a very long time, & i won't start today. ❜
❛ i mean, it was very hushed, but it sounded like you wanted to break into where i live. ❜
❛ who told you ? who have you been talking to ? ❜
❛ where are you going ? i thought you were a warrior. stay & fight ! ❜
❛ i'm lost without a coterie of people to take care of me ! ❜
❛ look, i've been shot. ❜
❛ can we stop dwelling on the worst thing that's literally ever happened to us ever ? ❜
❛ it was more, to be truthful, it was like i was being hunted, certainly. ❜
❛ you seem very casual after being shot. ❜
❛ i have it on good authority from my [ name ], the [ title ], that [ name ] sucks. ❜
❛ you are acting outside of the specific jurisdiction of our court. ❜
❛ if someone could dig these arrows out of my back, i would deeply appreciate it. ❜
❛ [ name ], you can have sex with people that you hate & disagree with. ❜
❛ [ name ], i'm sorry that you thought that you had to bear those wounds & burdens yourself. ❜
❛ it seems like they want me in power so they can silence me. ❜
❛ god, you people are so poor ! ❜
❛ i think that magic is an extension of the love that we have for ourselves, each other, & the world around us. ❜
❛ no one inspires more fear at these events than you, because no one's quite sure what you are going to do. ❜
❛ it's difficult to say what will happen when you cast this, of course. it's a bit of a roll of the die. ❜
❛ delightful, in a very sort of bright, disorienting sort of way. ❜
❛ all this talk about courts & belonging, i feel torn, to be honest with you. ❜
❛ there was a part of me that wanted to dismantle all courts. ❜
❛ where would orders come from if not from one's obligations to court & kin ? ❜
❛ are you truly happy with the things that you've done for the name of other people ? ❜
❛ to act on one's self - interest alone is to lead an empty life, i think. ❜
❛ just hold me. just fucking hold me. ❜
❛ fighting for other people's love is what i do. ❜
❛ if you care about [ name ], you have to tell them, because they don’t know. ❜
❛ do you love me more than you love your standing at the court ? ❜
❛ all the blood is rushing to my penis. ❜
❛ your honour has been besmirched ! ❜
❛ understand that everything i have done was for love. ❜
❛ sickening, the things people do for power. ❜
❛ you, more than anyone else, i thought would understand. ❜
❛ you thought that was obligation ? i did it because i cared for you. ❜
❛ once this is shut, the magic that we generate stays here, with us. ❜
❛ i have a feeling i know where this storm's coming from. ❜
❛ i know we left on strange terms, & there's still much to discuss, but i really need your help at this moment in time. ❜
❛ i'm coming for you, but first, i have to absolutely fucking destroy my reputation. ❜
❛ i mean, i could fully stop this, but also, i mean, the drama ! ❜
❛ you've hatched this incredible plan, & it's been incredibly successful, except for the utter fucking failure it's been this entire time. ❜
❛ was that your attempt at control over me ? ❜
❛ put the corpse down now. ❜
❛ you have no allyship but yourself. ❜
❛ i am smart enough to know when a fight's a bad one, but we are incredibly long lived, & i will see you again. ❜
❛ i'm gonna let that wash over me, because if i think about it, i will go insane. ❜
❛ i'm gonna go, because this is honestly horrifying. ❜
❛ yes, we've got to throw an orgy, stat ! ❜
❛ it would seem that i have taken up a more pertinent & higher status in the court. ❜
❛ i love you with my whole heart, & i do want you to be happy, which is why i'm going to turn & walk away. ❜
❛ i forgive you, & i hope you can forgive me. ❜
❛ every suffering of mine has been because i feared, & feared greatly, to disappoint, to earn scorn. ❜
❛ you will never know a lonely day again as long as i draw breath. ❜
❛ should you need a place to rest your head, a place to find comfort, laughter, my home is yours. ❜
❛ come with me to the mortal realm. ❜
