โ FFXIV : HEALER ROLE QUESTS.
a collection of starter prompts taken from the healer role quests in ffxiv - there may be spoilers for these quests. change pronouns and gender as needed.
it'll take more thanโฆ well, however much i had to get me under the table.
no need to give me that murderous stare. i know what you're thinking.
โฆwe really should work on finding you a sense of humor.
and while we're at it, you can vent some of that pent-up rage you've got.
don't need to be pretty, so long as the job gets done.
what a lonely place to die.
you'll hear no argument from me - i was a fool.
you certainly look the hero. now let's see you act like one!
i thought that a refreshing round of insults would snap you out of it - and it did!
not my fault if you can't appreciate an exercise in creative wordplay.
i'm starting to wonder if you have as much trouble with fun as you do with jokes.
i like to think while i drink - it's the most efficient way
you know, i heard that the liquor here ain't fit to drink, but it's not half bad!
you leave me no choice - i'll show you.
i drink a lot, i kill stuff. you have to admit that it's an effective strategy.
at least that's what my body tells me - and i always listen!
nothing comes easy to sober folks.
i'd ask if you're here for a drink, but i know you ain't.
you've got that serious look about you - as usual.
we're supposed to be partners!
your complete refusal to acknowledge anything i do is kind of comforting, actually.
i've fought it before and come away fine. mostly.
once you get to know 'em, share a few drinksโฆ they're not bad folks.
and iโฆ my only path is forward.
if i weren't, well, me, we'd both be dead right about now.
oh, i know you want to say something - but you won't.
can't say i was expecting such a nasty welcome, but maybe i should've.
how many of our traditions must you trample before you are satisfied!?
your words have no weight here, outsider.
i don't think i really understood, before, how beautiful it is out here.
and for what it's worthโฆ i'm glad you're here
i never thought i'd see the day when you took to friendly insults, partner!
listen, when i said โput it to sleep,โ that wasn't a euphemism.
yes, it hurt, but i survived.
[ name ], you stubborn idiot. you sweet boy. you never did understand what you meant to meโฆ
er, can i help you? you're staring - really staring.
it's hard to see that as anything other than cruel.
tradition is important. but it's not the only important thing.
kindness, empathy, love - this world and the living, breathing people in it - they matter more.
you'll always have a place at my side, you hear?
i'd like nothing more than to hear about your recent adventures, but i'm afraid such pleasantries will have to wait.
the longer it is allowed to roam free, the more tragedy our people will suffer.
those weren't monsters i killed, but innocent menโฆ
it was good of you to come all this way - though i never doubted for a moment that you wouldn't.
make no mistake - i've not forgiven them.
healing only begins with liberation - and some scars never will regardless.
they cannot forgive themselves, nor can they see how anyone else could.
they think themselves undeserving of our compassion.
there's no enemy more formidable than despair, and i'd be a fool to refuse your help.
those who harbor guilt do so not because they are weak of heart, but because they have failed to meet the demands they make of themselves.
i said i don't need a keeper, but did they bloody listen? did they bollocks.
thick as thieves are we now?
we've all got our own duties, and i'll see them through to the end.
i appreciate that she's not asking for what i can't give, but...
there's no changing the past. we'll always carry it, and the scars.
these problems we struggle with won't be solved overnight.
there's no washing the blood off my hands. nor would i, even if i could.
all i know isโฆ everyone would've been better off if i'd never been born.
he would never have made it as a soldier. he was too kind. too...good.
perhaps his recollection of events simplyโฆ differs somewhat from reality...
some say money can't buy you happiness, but they've never tried living without it.
the circumstances of our birth are beyond our control; our fates subject to the whims of the gods, some would argue.
i once thought myself a prisoner to my fate.
i wanted nothing more than to cast it all aside - to free us all - but failed for my naivety.
the world is unfair. terribly so.
let them be loved, let them be hated, but above all, let them be rememberedโฆ
i hope we can remind them that deep down, we're all just people trying to survive, to protect our loved ones.
i would do anything to protect them. anything.
their crimes will never be forgiven. they cannot be.
if they are forgotten, then the lesson of their folly is forgotten.
who among us have not made difficult choices for kith and kin?
by the blood of our fallen brothers and sisters, we are free.
the past is ours to bear - all of it.
i wish i could've told her thatโฆ even though i know she probably wouldn't have listened.
and if you can learn to feel sympathy for her, maybe others can, too.
i want to believe there's hope for her - that there's hope for us all.
the time has come for action. are you ready?
too clever for my own good, maybe.
get the power and respect we deserve. and thenโฆ things'll change. they will. you'll see.
we've found a place for ourselves, and you'll find yours soon enough.
..in the end, what good did i do?
you don't get to end it. you don't get to give up. i won't let you!
you have a lifetime to make amends and atone.
if you die here, you are everything they say. everything you believe.
there's nowhere else i'd rather be.
it's bloody hard, isn't it? wanting to do something so desperately, with every fiber of your being, knowing that you should - should be able to, you shouldโฆ but you can't.
โฆnot all heroes are forged in the fires of battle.
while we cannot change the past, we can change the future.
your presence alone is enough to keep the flame of hope burning bright.
i must be getting soft in my old age.
though in all seriousness, we could all stand to take fewer risks.
been waiting for a chance to use that one, haven't you?
