December Dialogue Writing Prompt

December 14

Your character joins members of their party plus some unknowns at a dining table, your choice of setting (formal, informal, etc). One of the party introduces your character by name. One of the unknowns comments, "Oh. You. Yeah, I've heard about you."

The mafia's princess stands sideways, the black gala dress with a cut on one leg highlights her fair skin and platinum hair. She doesn't attempt to shake hands, the half-smile on her lips giving her icy blue eyes a mischievous gloss.

“I’m glad to know that my achievements have travelled so far.”

—Coorah.

December Dialogue Writing Prompt

December 30

Someone approaches your character from the front and slows to a halt, shoulder-to-shoulder. They bend down / stand on tiptoes up to your character’s ears and murmur, "I'm sorry no one has told you this, but your fly is/buttons are open." (or whatever would mark an equivalently inappropriate clothing state in your universe)

“In case you haven't noticed,” she lifts up the knotted sleeves around her waist, “it just seems backward because after I took off the sleeves, I did not rearrange the onesie. But that doesn't matter because I have half of it around my waist!”

—Coorah.

December Dialogue Writing Prompt

December 29

“Excuse me, but I think my late wife knew you.” Someone comes up to your character and says that, instead. How does your character react?

“Did she?” She slides her hand down her back until her fingers wrap around the grip of her gun. “What did she do in life?”

—Coorah.

December Dialogue Writing Prompt

December 28

“You’ve never met me, and you’ve no reason to trust me, but you need to know this.” An absolute stranger has just walked up and dropped a bombshell revelation on your character. As it is an absolute stranger, your character has no idea of their trustworthiness or how they would know what they just told your character. How do they react?

“As you said: I have no reason to trust you. Now...” She flips the dagger she got out of her boot while they were talking on her hand, the edge pointing at them. She just needs a wrist move, a bad answer; she's craving a bad answer. “You will need something more if you want me to let you go.”

—Coorah.

December Dialogue Writing Prompt

December 25

Sitting idly around at a party or some inescapable gathering, someone your character doesn’t know very well just offered to read their tarot (or equivalent).

“I don't believe in that nonsense, so go scam someone else.”

—Coorah.
