An assortment of prompts taken from various songs from the album of Arcane: Season 2 OST. I will not be translating lyrics. Adjust as necessary to fit pronoun and/or descriptor. In case of Multimuse, don't forget to specify which one/s. Reblog, please do not repost or add.

“ This is what you asked for. ”

“ Heavy is the crown. ”

“ Just tell me how to keep breathing while pretending I'm not drowning. ”

“ I watched a door close for good. ”

“ Sleep in the casket you made, you're gone, sucker. ”

“ You're mad if you thought I'd let you go. ”

“ Good luck killing me 'cause I'm already dead inside. ”

“ Can I do the right thing for the wrong reason? ”

“ I would rather die alone! ”

“ I'd rather have some fun than be forgiven. ”

“ Why would you let this voice set in your head? It is meant to destroy you. ”

“ You walk along the edge of danger, and it will change you. ”

“ How does it feel to reach the line that no one ever got to cross? ”

“ Oh, you want a villain? Let me show you how I evil. ”

“ What else am I wasting for? ”

“ I'm at the bottom, it's a long way down. ”

“ Little girl, what goes on in your head? ”

“ I mourn the most for all the things that I never said. ”

“ Don't make me go through this again. ”

“ Tell me, who are you, then? ”

“ I just wanna blow shit up. ”

“ Don't you wanna be vicious? ”

“ Come join me on the dark side. ”

“ Go and make some mistakes. You live and you learn. ”

“ I just wanna be a good passenger. ”

“ Don't you want someone crazy like me, babe? ”

“ I can't fight this time now. ”

“ Did I disappoint you? ”

“ Keep the memories of who I was before. ”

“ Please don't let them see me. ”

“ I was raised by wolves, I was born to lead. ”

“ I can use who I want and I taste what I please. In this world, I get all my fantasies ”

“ Try me. I dare you to try me. ”

“ If you wanna come play, you gotta start with me. ”

“ I've held on for as long as I can for the ones that I had to defend. ”

“ I used to have strength but I ran out of hope. ”

“ If it weren't for you, I'd be here all alone. ”

ACT 3

episode 07

"I knew it was a mistake trusting you."

"You've been a real picnic yourself."

"Hey, stop! Get your hands off of me."

"You shy? Or just ugly?"

"You look good for a dead girl."

"That was a long time ago. People change."

"You were following us? Why didn't you say something?"

"You still punch like a little boy."

"I remember when you wouldn't stand up to me."

"Perhaps the error resides not with your calculations, but with your subjects."

"Nature has made us intolerant to change. But fortunately, we have the capacity to change our nature."

"I know the look of a doomed man."

"If you take this path, they will despise you."

"Love and legacy are the sacrifices we make for progress."

"I tried taking it apart and it nearly killed me."

"Everything you said about him was true."

"My family cast me out and yet, part of me still loves them."

"He disappeared. He does that sometimes."

"It didn't sound like a request."

"Let's just say I didn't always see eye-to-eye with my old man."

"I didn't lose her. They took her!"

"Why would I remember her name?"

"They needed somewhere safe to start again."

"She's still in there. I can reach her."

"I order a blockade and my own partner violates it?"

"Have you forgotten where we came from?"

"Listen, let her go."

"I brought her here."

"It's me you want."

"I thought they were hurting you!"

"Don't move, silly. I might hurt you."

"Have you forgotten how she left you?"

"I am your family. Everyone else betrays us."

"Your people hunt us like animals."

"Your people aren't dying all around you."

"The peace is already broken."

"Shut up. It's just a goodbye hug."

"Oh, look who it is. The boy savior."

episode 08

"He wanted me to know death."

"Your brother thinks he can talk his way out of anything."

"I will give you the world, child, if you prove you can take it."

"Kill her now, and only one must die."

"You understand you've broken several laws?"

"Sometimes death is a mercy."

"You're a scary lady."

"War isn't our first and every recourse."

"Weapons can't be unmade, and they are always used."

"What happened to her, it's not your fault."

"I understand this must be painful. I'm afraif it will only get worse."

"I have to get home. It isn't safe for me here."

"We're no strangers to failure."

"They're still cleaning the blood off the bridge."

"I remember where your fancy damn door is."

"Go back to that big, shiny house of yours and just… forget me, okay?"

"Everything you do inspires me."

"You said you were tired of doing nothing."

"That's the only sensible thing that came out of anyone's mouth tonight."

"Of everyone up here, you're the one she trusted to do something."

"We got a deal, pretty boy?"

episode 09

"He knew what he was signing up for."

"Do you not understand? I am part of this now."

"You won't make it alone."

"You gonna do anything about that piece of shit who murdered my boy?"

"At least we have the solace of knowing he died fighting for our cause, instead of some petty personal dispute, as so often occurs here."

"You're one to talk about sacrificing for the cause."

"March back to your ship and get the hell out of my city."

"Get a hold of yourself. I taught you better."

"I wanted to protect the city from people like you."

"I would set the world ablaze to protect our family."

"At least you didn't throw up."

"Everything made sense then."

"What about your disease?"

"We lost ourselves. Lost our dream."

"In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good."

"You know what bore us through those times? Loyalty."

"Now I'm forced to share the air with parasites like you who leech off their legacies."

"I still believe in loyalty."

"Perfect place for an ambush."

"I was reminded recently of what brought us together in the first place."

"I give you credit for your stunt."

"They weren't her crimes, she was working for me."

"We both have our shitty parts to play."

"You'd be surprised what you can pull off when your life depends on it."

"It's not enough to give people what they need to survive, you have to give them what they need to live."

"And what do I lose but problems?"

"Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?"

"She still needs you. They all do."

"They're right not to trust us."

"With respect, I don't give a shit what any of you think of me anymore."

"Nothing ever stays dead."

"I always heard you. Shadows in the streets, prickles on the back of my neck."

"The only thing that kept me going was the thought of getting back to you."

"I paid your girlfriend a visit this morning."

"Make her go away, please."

"You wouldn't lie to me. Not again."

"You're my daughter. I'll never forsake you."

"I never would have given you to them. Not for anything."

"I thought maybe you could love me like you used to."

ARCANE RP STARTERS, PART 1

NOTE: 

Always feel free to switch gendered language and other details according to your needs!  Other meme blogs, please do not repost or reblog.

ACT 1

Episode 1

"One day, I'm gonna ride in one of those things."

"We are definitely not supposed to be here."

"Keep an eye out for anything that looks valuable."

"Not again. I just got this shirt!"

"You know, in my experience, trouble finds you."

"We never should have gone over there."

"I get my face bashed in, and she just gets a pass?"

"Every time she comes, something goes wrong."

"A bit of advice: don't threaten the guy who pours the drinks."

"You blew up a building!"

"If you wanna be mad, be mad at me."

"When did you become so comfortable living in someone else's shadow?"

"When people look up to you, you don't get to be selfish."

"You were twice the person at half her age."

"People need to feel safe."

"I ruined everything. I always do."

"We've all had bad days. But we learn. And stick together."

Episode 2

"That's your parents' money you're dropping."

"Last time I checked, science didn't require illegal equipment."

"What? How am I dangerous?"

"Imprisonment. What a curious principle. We confine the physical body, yet the mind is still free."

"No great science should ever put lives in danger."

"Darling, he nearly blew up our daughter!"

"You're just protecting your kids."

"All I see is a boy meddling with things he doesn't understand."

"Why fear it when we can master it?"

"You don't understand what's at stake."

"I've seen this power in the wrong hands."

"I can sympathize with a young man's dream to change the world."

"If my own family won't help me, I'll find someone who will."

"There's a monster inside all of us."

"Real power doesn't come to those who were born strongest, or fastest, or smartest. No. It comes to those who will do anything to achieve it."

"My dad says you're a misfit, and that we can't be friends anymore."

"I'm a misfit too, I suppose."

"While you're wasting your time, how about a proper drink?"

"You people down here are all the same, mistaking arrogance for bravery."

"Nobody wins in war."

"Is that why you came? To insult me?"

"I saw with my own eyes what magic can do, the lives it could save."

"When you're going to change the world, don't ask for permission."

"What makes you different makes you strong."

"There is no stopping what happens now."

Episode 3

"Ever wonder what it's like to drown?"

"But then there's this thing in your head, and it's raging. Lighting every nerve with madness."

"I'm proud of you. Always have been."

"I'm sorry, I... this is the only way to protect the others."

"You've got a good heart. Don't ever lose it, no matter how the world tries to break you."

"Without you down here, it all falls apart."

"You won't be coming back for a long time."

"You never did know when to walk away."

"Stubborn to the end."

"What the hell have you done? This wasn't the deal!"

"That research is everything! My... My whole life!"

"Why? Why would you risk this?"

"Do you think it was my life's ambition to be an assistant?"

"It's a little crude, I'll admit. The base violence necessary for change."

"You'll get people killed. For what? Pride?"

"What I did to you... I've never forgiven myself. You were my brother."

"The only way to defeat a superior enemy is to stop at nothing. To become what they fear."

"You'd die for the cause, but you won't fight for one!"

"Willing to risk exile for your endeavor. That's quite the conviction."

"I know it sounds impossible, but when have we ever let that stop us?"

"I want to fight, I can help!"

"I'm afraid this will be a very short reunion."

"Take a breath. You can do this."

"That sounds like pressure!"

"I was saving you."

"I only wanted to help. I only wanted to help!"

"Please, (name). I need you, please!"

"She is not my sister anymore!"

ACT 2

EPISODE 4

"Everything he built either exploded, melted, or toppled over."

"You always give that speech. I could never take your place."

"You deserve this honor."

"You still avoiding her?"

"It's your fault, really. For not following her into a career 'more befitting your station'."

"She'd do anything to keep me from seeing the real world."

"We really have descended to anarchy."

"We just need to show him it's safe."

"Wouldn't miss it for the world, my boy."

"Putting that kind of power into everyone's hands is dangerous."

"I didn't do anything. She's crazy."

"She shot me."

"Who shot you?"

"She fired on us."

"There are always mishaps in battle."

"_ were her target, and most are dead."

"It wasn't a mishap - she froze up and lost her shit."

"I expected better from you than excuses."

"You failed. Don't disappoint me again."

"Your sister's gone. You know that as well as I do."

"Sisters, right? You can't live with 'em, can't stuff 'em back in the ol' babymaker!"

"I need to know that I can rely on you."

"He's old. He only ever sees the past"

"Give the people a glimpse of the future."

"Now he thinks I'm weak."

"You should come with me, we're partners!"

"Not in front of all of them."

"I know many of you probably didn't expect to see me here today. And believe me, I'm just as shocked as you are."

"No one in my life expected very much of me."

"Pardon us if we're not quite so refined as you, milady."

"Don't you gave a cocktail party to attend?"

"Help! It's so hot, please. I'm trapped!"

"Also, I brought this dynamite. Goodbye."

"My mistake cost people their lives."

"Perhaps the time has come to explore a more radical solution."

"Do you have any idea what you've done?"

"Shouldn't you be resting?"

"The answer's here, staring me in the face."

"You almost died, _. I just... I just want you to be safe."

"Thanks, but I already have a job."

"This one was hit by friendly fire. He's got reason to talk."

"You don't understand. I have to talk to him."

EPISODE 5

"That was quite some shooting."

"Did my parents pay you to let me win?"

"No, your parents didn't pay me."

"I just thought you deserved it."

"For me, knowing how to handle this weapon means being able to protect people."

"What are you shooting for?"

"Can you just send in whoever's gonna kick the shit out of me so I can get on with my night?"

"In what mad world would I trust someone like you?"

"You said you could control her!"

"This is a poor use of our time."

"What about our pledge to improve life, for those in need?"

"No! It was a mistake! It was a mistake!"

"You almost got me killed."

"My little sister could do that when she was seven."

"We're here because I'm hungry. Do you know what prison food is like?"

"Don't they hate each other?"

"Well, that place does look like it has bodies buried in the basement."

"Time to prove them all wrong. Once again."

"You have to let them think you have what they want."

"You're hot, cupcake."

"So what will it be, man or woman?"

"What is truth but a survivor's story?"

"Imagining yourself a hero?"

"You know there's always tomorrow, right?"

"I almost drowned in these waters."

"That day, I let a weak man die."

"You're strong now. Just like you were always meant to be."

"The doctors, um, they said you're..."

"How much time do I have?"

"She's like his daughter."

"Do you ever say thank you?"

"You're an alright shot."

"I'm an excellent shot."

"You're so sweet. Like a cupcake."

EPISODE 6

"Why aren't you playing with the others?"

"Loneliness is often the byproduct of a gifted mind."

"We can be loners together."

"It's a sad truth that those who shine brightest often burn the fastest."

"Listen, I'm sorry for disappearing last night."

"_ saved my life once. Now he needs me and there's nothing I can do."

"I hate feeling so useless."

"Nothing feels impossible when I'm with you."

"I'm not grabbing girls."

"Guess she replaced you."

"You're about as good for our cause as you were for your family."

"About time daddy joined us."

"Can't you see we're playing?"

"She does whatever she wants. I... can't control her."

"I can feel my body... eroding."

"This only works if we can trust each other."

"We're not monsters, you know. We're people, just like you."

"Despite it all, I can tell... you have a good heart."

"Please, if ever you've put faith in my guidance, hear me now."

"It's that thing! It must be destroyed."

"I owed her old man my life."

"She's bleeding, she needs a doctor."

"Why would you take something that does that to you?"

"I just... wanted to feel what it was like... to be somebody."

"And who holds you accountable?"

"Healing this city will take more than just speeches."

"Humans don't live for centuries! We can't wait for progress."

"I thought she died, but, no."

"How do you not know if your sister is alive or dead?"

"What have you done with my sister?"

"I'm gonna find her and erase whatever fucked up delusions you put in her head."

"I'm gonna bring your bullshit empire down all around you."

"You don't know your limits, girl. It's what got _ killed."

"How many problems can one girl cause?"

"I tried to come back, I promise I did."

"Things changed when you left. I changed."

"You did what you had to do to survive. Me too. It's okay."

"This is a trick! You're playing me!"

"You can fire that thing if you want, but I'm not going anywhere!"
