I was tagged by @pheita here, thank you so much!
Rules: Include one character quote of your choosing from each chapter of your WIP (or as many chapters as you'd like). Give absolutely no context, save for what's between two parts of an interrupted sentence, should that occur. You may mention who said it.

Characters Out of Context ✧･ﾟ: *
Thank you for the tag, @thesoftestofpetals, and for making me go back through over 160 pages of writing. There was surprisingly a lot in there I didn't remember. I'll be using my main current WIP, TLPOY, because that cast is so large in characters, barely anything repeats.

Chapter 1 - Rai's mother
‘Rai, I’m sorry but it’s too dangerous. I don’t want you going outside the walls when there’s a dragon in the area. If your dad wants to see you, he can come here himself.’
Chapter 2 - Camila
‘Please talk to me. Please. You can’t go. You can’t leave me here all by myself. Please.’
Chapter 3 - Joy
Bleh,’ Joy pulled a face, ‘Akkie’s in one of his moods. Lux will definitely let you have some of his. He’s quite tall though so they might not fit.’
Chapter 3 - Dahlia
She raised her eyebrows at him. ‘Wow. You really were thirsty.’
Chapter 4 - Lux
‘Rai, your finger…’ Lux gestured, his face a little pale.
This has been in my drafts for a while but it was fun to do!

I don't really have any official chapters yet, so I'll just share some favorite out of context dialogue from what I have for TCIO so far:
"Asher. Baby. Darling. Sweet pea. Sunshine. Honey. Dear. Sweetheart. Take off that mask, now." -said by Daiman, Asher's boyfriend
“Fucking hell, this guy is so vague it’s getting annoying. What does he mean, obvious but not obvious? I’m gonna get a headache if I try to think about it.” -said by Chase
“How long has it been?” “Two minutes since the last time you asked me,” Chase said with a grumble. -another Chase one (because he's my favorite)
“I don’t mean to brag, but-” she smirked. “-but I’m about to do your jobs for you.” -said by Nickelle
"Not my fault you're slow. Slowpoke. Turtleboy. Snailman." -hand signed by Kylee with a smirk
"V, if by idea you mean break stuff and people's bones, you're not allowed to have ideas for the rest of the mission." -said by Asher

Okay, considering Zenith has a BUNCH of chapters, I'm gonna do these for SMILE! (yay content)
chapter 1: “I felt like a pimp.”
chapter 2: “This wasn’t your fault.”
chapter 3: “Lots of things, really. A poltergeist who doesn’t like the new wallpaper, the family-dog that’s been possessed by a demonic entity – “
chapter 4: “Yeah. Built like a bellend.”
chapter 5: “I only write in black ink, darling.”
chapter 6: “That weirdo commune in Dorset?”
chapter 7: “Is she… you know. Sewn up?”
chapter 8: “What’s goin’ on in that head of yours, Alder?”
This was fun! I'll be honest, even with the context some of these are STRANGE but eh, whateverrr
I'm gonna tag: @pluvia-b, @the-mindless, @anonymousfoz & @caxycreations (+ literally whoever wants to do it! No pressure <3)

I did this for Silver Sentinels last time so I’ll do it for Ascension this round!
Chapter 1
Aleksander: “Worry about your own god.”
Xala: “Not so fast. You don't get to pillage until a certain someone gets the archery lesson she's been waiting for."
Chapter 2
Calandra: “For Itis’s sake, Paulo, we bathed together as children. The sight of my calves will not kill you.”
Kiran: “Oh, come on Callie,” he had implored her with his signature dimpled grin. “We've shared the same air for most of our lives. Could you settle for sharing the stars?” (One of my fave quotes so far!)
Chapter 3
Kiran: “You should consider a side profession as a model.”
Prince Eri: “Apologies, Mère, I was feeling particularly handsome tonight and wanted to get a second opinion.”

A quote from each chapter would be a HUGE post because I'm working on drafts of a complete book, so here are some randoms from Project Frequency. These are all Rafe (it's first person present tense, so)
I’m drenched in the warm fountain of a stranger’s blood for no reason other than a man with too much power wants to see me this way.
We walk with synchronised steps down another corridor of simulated daylight through the bowels of the building, our low-level mutual antagonism pushed aside in the interest of presenting a united front.
He looks like he’s hoping for something from me, but I don’t give a shit for eye contact or fulfilling anyone else’s needs.
You could argue there’s a crossover there, that there’s always a little bit of art in murder, and always a little bit of murder in art.
And in this grimy hallway, by the light of a dying security strip, I think about telling someone I was ready to kill a few minutes ago how I turn the surface of my body into something no-one should want to touch.
I feel worse puking on Gillen’s floor than I ever felt slicing someone's throat while they looked me in the eye and desperately tried to appeal to a sense of humanity that hasn’t existed in me for the longest time.

I'm on a roll with The Sea is in Her Blood rn so here we go!
Chapter One:
“She’s no good to me dead,” the captain continued, fiddling with one of his rings now. “And believe me, if she were worthless, I would have gotten rid of her a long time ago.”
Chapter Two:
“Drink this and don’t argue with me.”
Chapter Three:
“No offense, but you look like death warmed over.”
Chapter Four:
“Humor me, then. If you could wish for anything at all, no limits, what would you wish for?”
Chapter Five:
“Being incredibly handsome and good looking, just an overall sexy bastard, brigandage, pilfering, and general lawlessness?”
Chapter Six:
“I like your socks.”
Chapter Seven:
“I always look troubled; this is nothing new.”
Chapter Eight:
“Pity.” June responded dryly, brushing past Pierson, and pushing through the thick leaves and vines that blocked their entrance. “We would have had more fun alone.”
Chapter Nine:
“I know a thing or two about fathers with god complexes,” Bates said. “Nothing you do will ever be enough for them.”
Chapter Ten:
“You know. Are you only keeping him alive because he’s useful to you?”
Chapter Eleven:
“I’m cashing in that favor you owe me.”
Chapter Twelve:
“This mess needs to be cleaned up come morning,” the captain had said. “I don’t care who does it, as long as it gets done. Wait until after he’s dead. I want him to suffer a miserable and slow death for the trouble he’s caused.”
Chapter Thirteen:
“She killed her boyfriend for it.”
Chapter Fourteen:
“Yeah, we. When we first met you were bleeding out in a tender in the middle of the ocean. Forget about June’s survival instincts, you need to worry about your own because I suspect you don’t have any.”
Chapter Fifteen:
“Listen lady, you can stop with your whole tragic backstory monologue,” Jesse interrupted. “I stopped listening roughly half an hour ago.”
