- -. ݁⁺ ⊹ : THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD . . . roleplay sentence starters based on complicated friendship, mundanity, &. uncertainties. genre: slice of life, family, romance, hurt and comfort, angst.

Do you just want to cultivate your angst?

What do you mean? You're the one who stopped.

Do I really want to expose the world to this?

We have to get out of this country.

Is that everything?

I bet It'll be nice to come home to your apartment.

Do you have any music we can play?

Did you get hold of any good drink, [name]?

I'm sorry, but right now you sound like [name].

Isn't it a little too cold for that?

I'm just trying to get to bed.

The only thing left, is everything.

Have you removed my things?

We talked about this. It's for your own good.

You should leave modesty at the door before entering here.

I heard one of them wrote this weird book.

Are you OK?

You have paint on your jacket. There's paint all over your back.

There was something… Fuck.

It's just… I… I…

It wasn't by chance. It was no coincidence that we met.

I let myself in. Where have you been?

I'm fine. Don't worry.

I have to break up with [name].

I can't waste any more time.

I can't stay with [him/her/them] just to be nice.

You want interesting people around you?

Has anyone ever introduced you to any new music or recommended a book you didn't already read in high school?

Guys in long-term relationships become so lame.

Bullshit. Feeling guilty is slave mentality.

Your father used "gay" as a term of abuse?

I don't know. It's kind of complicated.

I've considered studying [major] again.

I'm going to get a coffee. Do you want one?

How long has it been? I can't believe we're sitting here like this.

Remember when I tricked you into falling in love, in Paris?

I was already in love with you.

But we had a nice time, didn't we?

Were you in love with me then?

I wasn't sick already then.

I felt a lot worse afterwards. I didn't understand anything.

I wanted to call. But they told me that wasn't a good idea.

I wish we could just… Meet all over again.

I must admit. After reading this I thought: "He must be some eccentric, old-before-his-time type".

Your first book sets the tone for your entire authorship.

Maybe you're right.....

A word to the wise: Never listen to old farts like me.

The important things in life are expressed through music, not words.

I have something I need to do.

I'm afraid the debate has to end here.

That must be the house.

It works better if you remove the lens cap.

Listen, "Rain Man", have you been out of the apartment yet?

What is your master's thesis about?

Is that how you work now?

I have been a little tired lately.

I like the edge. It's quirky, it's weird. It works.

Look at [him/her/them], has no idea that they go by the name of [mean nickname].

What's [he/she/they] saying? I can't understand the dialect.

What's that tattoo? An ad?

I just don't understand your friends' humor.

You're just jealous.

I knew them before they were famous and they were jerks even then.

You do have a point. "Jerk" isn't precise enough to describe them.

I don't care, I've had it. I hate people like [him/her/them].

What you hate is war and Trump and the World Bank and such.

Who the hell do you think you are?

You are the most immature people I have ever met!

Spreading nasty rumours about each other… I feel sorry for you.

Why do you hang out with these people?

I've met guys like you before. I just have one thing to say: It can't be easy to have problems in this crowd.

You are incredibly banal!

Does anyone want a drink?

Are you sure that's a good idea?

What does your psychiatrist say?

Is it a problem that [name] is here?

I didn't mean it like that.

I'm pretty nervous about that.

Please don't come over, you superficial imbecile.

Long time no see. Good to have you back.

I… I don't think… I have to go.

I just don't feel well. I'm tired.

Do you want to go home?

I can't do this. Sorry.

This was a mistake. It just isn't like it used to be.

I know it's important to you, but I don't want to write anymore.

Well "fan" is a little teenage, but "admirer" is so formal.

You probably haven't read it.

Excuse me, I was on my way home.

I just don't feel… I couldn't sleep… and… I don't know.

You're taking your medication?

Don't baby-sit me! I need time to myself.

Why did you buy me a plane ticket?

Did you look at the date?

The exact same date as the last time we went.

You can't just assume that I can, or want to, go to [name].

But can you at least consider it?

You live with your mom, don't you?

I'll call you tomorrow. I love you.

I may have been a little nervous. How did I seem to you?

What did we do the next day?

We sat at a café and talked for ages.

What did we talk about?

What was I like? Was I happy?

I'm glad you came.

I decided I had to make you fall in love with me.

You were unsure of your feelings.

Anyway, it worked. It worked because I told you first.

Don't worry. You looked incredible.

What's the matter? What are you thinking about?

Why did you want us to come back here?

You don't love me anymore, is that it?

Do you have a personal connection to that?

A language which can grasp all the world's nuances.

A strong personal experience can become an intense story.

Bringing up all sorts of personal "tragedies", but that's not real "literature" is it?

Forget about that. Come on over.

So nothing's changed there?

I can't take it. It's too sad.

I was about to leave, but now things are picking up.

Are you alright?

I've had enough. Not just because we never see each other.

It's that you pretend to care, when you're so damn selfish.

You're such a damn cliché!

So you've seen it?

What? You've written something?

A lot of it is good, but we've always been honest with each other. This isn't your best work.

I'm glad you take it like that.

I mean, you haven't slept all night.

I'm not being nice. If you work on it this might be publishable.

That isn't important. I'm just writing for myself.

Why can you never say what you mean?

What the fuck are you doing?

You look much better now. How do you feel?

I found you. I managed to find you!

I love you. Everything is in synch now.

I can't take this anymore…

Hey… Come on. Get up.

You didn't give me a choice, running off like that.

I thought you knew.

Does anyone know why?

Maybe the spirit will move me again, like last time.

"STOP PUTTING YOURSELF INTO DANGER!" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue for expressing your fear that the person you care about might get themselves hurt if they keep acting like this, adjust as necessary

i thought i told you to stay back.

i love you too much to let you get hurt like this.

this affects me, too, you know.

every time you leave, i sit up all night waiting, praying you'll come back alive.

you keep pulling stunts like this and something bad will happen.

do you have a death wish or something?

this isn't fair to me.

i deserve better than this.

i didn't get any sleep last night because i was so worried about you.

you promised me you'd stop going out at night.

i don't like hearing this.

you've been risking your life, and for what? so you can feel like a goddamn hero?

i said i would handle it.

what the fuck are you doing here?

you told me you'd stay put.

so much for laying low.

you remember how bad it was last time.

seems like you haven't learned anything.

i believe you promised me you'd lay low.

i can't keep doing this.

don't give me that look.

we'll discuss this later.

this stops now.

i'm tired of picking up the pieces once you've left.

you keep throwing yourself into danger.

you don't give a shit about yourself, do you?

i'm sitting here, worried out of my mind, while you're out doing god knows what.

that was really stupid of you, and you know it.

i thought you knew better than this.

what's your excuse this time?

you do realize what this does to me, right? seeing you get hurt like this? you know it hurts me, too?

you really don't give a shit how this affects me, huh.

that was the dumbest possible thing you could have done.

i need you to stop throwing yourself into harm's way.

that was completely unnecessary.

they had it handled.

you didn't need to step in like that.

why do you think you're invincible?

the last time you pulled a stunt like this, it nearly got you killed.

i can't just sit here and watch you get hurt.

what are you trying to prove?

you just like fucking with my heart, don't you.

this shit hurts me, too, you know.

you're not the only one affected by this shit.

you've got a lot of people counting on you to come home every night.

what happens if you don't come back?

you think we can just carry on without you?

you think i can handle things if you end up dead?

i'm not sticking around to watch you get hurt.

you're not even slick.

you think you're invincible, don't you.

quit pretending you've got everything under control.

let someone else do it for a change.

you can't keep putting yourself through shit like this and expect me to just sit back and watch.

i'm done with this.

next time you do this, i'm not coming back.

promise me this is the end.

look me in the eyes and tell me you'll stop doing this.

let the authorities deal with it.

you're making a big mistake.

is it worth dying for?

i've dealt with enough pain over the years.

you tried to tell me how unfair it is .

i'd give it all back if i could , i cannot .
