Dialogue Prompts

Alright, you guys. Here is part 8 of the dialogues list! It's pretty long, this time though these aren't categorized, so enjoy! :)

"This is the best possible outcome we could come up with?!" "I don't know how we keep getting ourselves into these situations."

"And we stand one grade A dumbass." "This is a dumb idea." "So, do it."

"For real, you just jinxed us for all the years to come."

"Don't talk to me unless you're coming to apologize!" "Well, don't worry! I won't"

"You befriended a cult?!"

"That was my bad eye anyway."

"Why is everybody crying? Nobody died."

"Only five visitors at a time!"

"Just in case I didn't get the chance to do it again."

"Thanks for pushing me out of my chair, I guess."

"Why do I have to compete if I didn't do it?"

"And how do you plan on skating by that conversation?"

"Since when did you get so hot?"

"I'm not dead!"

"What?! When did it happen? This is news!"

"Wow. Way to leave me behind."

"You'll have that scar forever, I'm afraid."

"What is more important here? Your freedom? Or theirs?"

"This is close quarters, no?"

"You broke up with him via a letter?!" "It was a detailed letter. Better than over the phone!" "Doesn't make it any better."

"We're going to be late, come on."

"He's just going to find some way to making this my fault isn't he?"

"You're supposed to hit the ball! Not miss it!"

"You'll be lucky if they let you try out again after what happened last year."

"What? You didn't think I was going to do all of this by myself did you?" "I've got to go and make a call." "I've got to go do uh... costume checks..." "Guess it's just you and me cowboy." "I've got to uh..." "If you stay, I'll buy you dinner." "I was gonna go to the bathroom."

"Stop fidgeting. You look good."

"You can look but don't touch."

"My husband's going to kick your ass." "I don't think you understand the severity of the situation."

"Are you sure that's the way it's supposed to go? That doesn't look good."

"I'll only have some of yours if you have some of mine."

"You know, for a thief, you're a bad liar."

"You two better get your stories straight. You better give me a reason as to why you're doing this."

"And what if everything doesn't go to plan? Hmm? There's always that possibility. What, you're gonna pick her over all of us?"

"Hey... uh... I thought you were uh... still mad at me." "Oh, believe me. I still am. But I uh..." "Can't sleep?"

"I can't live like this! Something is wrong. Are you going to tell me what it is?" "You have to ASK what is wrong? Shouldn't you know?!" "I don't, that's why I'm asking."

"Did you put batteries in it?" "Yea, I put batteries in it."

"You left because you got bored?!"

"Later, you and I are going to have a conversation you wish we never had."

"It's about time you guys showed up! Where the hell have you been?!" "We had... a technical difficulty."

"What?! We want to come!" "Not this time. Stay in the car."

"You wanna get out of here?" "Have you done anything like this before?" "No. But this is rather exciting isn't it?"

"So, all of these guys are your brothers?" "Yep. All eleven of them."

"It wouldn't hurt if you asked him." "No, he won't do it. He got out of the game years ago." "He'll do it if I ask him."

"Now, are you going to be a lady and tell me what the gig is?" "Now, where would the fun in that be?"

"And if I don't take it?" "Then this conversation never happened and we've never met... but I do hope, you'll reconsider."

"Any other questions? No? Good."

"Oh, don't let me stop you. Go ahead with the plan." "Glad we have your permission."

"And prey tell, what can you do sweetheart?" "I was hoping you'd never have to find out, but since you asked."

"No! Absolutely not! This is not happening!" "Stay away from my sister! About 10 ft from my sister!" "Quit looking at him like that!" "I can't help it if he's handsome!" "You can't tell me who I can and can date you're not mom!"

"I can handle myself. If he does anything to me, I'll beat him to a pulp." "That's my girl."

"Well, sweetheart. It's just us now. What exactly, is it that you wanna do?"

"Aw, babe. you were worried about me?" "That's all that you got from that conversation?!" "Admit it. You were worried."

"It won't go any other way. I swear, if we have to do this again, I'm gonna.."

"Thank you for staying and helping." "Eh. It''s no problem. Besides, it gives me more time to spend with you." "That was so smooth, I can't."

"You just got out of prison and you went to see him first instead of coming to see me? I'm offended."

"We'll need a crew." "We haven't gotten that far yet."

"We've got a proposition for you. If you're interested." "What's the target?" "holy shit." "it's a lot."

"hey. if you want this to work, this is what I need."

"I mean, if this is something that you want, we'll help you. but if you fail, just prepare to be the laughing stock again." "Bold of you to assume, I've recovered from last year."

"Why were they not present at the time of your discretion?"

"And this letter is for you." "Is it from lover boy? I bet it's from lover boy." "Oh, shove off! So, what if it is?"

"he was our captain, why aren't we getting these offers?" "maybe he likes me better."

"Yea, but you put em' in their place. I wouldn't have gotten off without you." "It's what I'm here for."

"alright. that's it. I'm out."

"What do you mean IF you offended me?!" "Alright!!! I'm sorry that I've offended you!"

"Tell him, that I need a little more space here." "Just apologize!" "Why me?! She overreacted!" "I'm sorry - I overreacted?!" "What?! Just when this was getting good." "Break up. break up. break up, please, for my sake, break up!"

"Oh, come on, love. We have to talk about this!" "Oh, now you wanna talk about this?!"

"Okay. Let's go. We've traveled with you all day, now you're coming with us at night." "But we can't see at night." "Sounds more of like a you problem, doesn't it?"

"I gave it to them." "And who are you to give it to them, when it's rightfully mine!"

"Do you have to go?" "Believe me. I don't want to my love, but I have to."

"I hope he realizes what he's doing." "me too."

"Would all of you please just SHUT UP!!!... he has something he would like to say!" "Thank you."

"I'll go! I'll distract them. I'm good at that." "they will tear you apart." "It'll be enough time to give you what you need."

"he's right. you can't go." "since when are you in complete agreement with him?" "since now. you could die or... or be severely injured you know that right?"

"while you deal with them, I'll go and grab the door." "don't let anyone else in!" "yea, okay."

"this is nice, your place. did you do it yourself?"

"just doing my duty as a good host!" "you seem to be taking this much better than your brother." "you're not supposed to eat that!" "how are you not freaking out about this?! they're destroyed our home, mind you!" "you always do overreact to everything."

"excuse me, but I will not have you insult my own brother in our own home. now, I must ask you to apologize, or to leave. you can find your hospitality elsewhere."

"she doesn't know what love is!" "then this might be a good chance for her to find out."

"you're siding with them!?" "I am not. I'm merely eating."

"you cannot stop this."

"nope. you cannot have one or the other. we come in a package deal. you get both of us." "what is the matter with you?! what makes you think I want to be apart of any of this?!" "this is what we've dreamed about since we were kids! you're telling me you don't want to be apart of this?!"

"you might be the only one to convince him of this."

"I want learn how to do that." "oh, I don't think that you could handle something like this, love." "pft. love? alright. someone hand me a sword so, I can kick his ass." "don't you dare you go easy on me." "believe me love, I won't. trust me when I say that." "five pounds on the girl, she loses." "you're on."

"I'd think twice before doing something like this." "I've already made up my mind. you're not stopping me." "alright. I'll step aside then." "that's right, you better."

The Readers Blog

Not me already fantasizing prompts with Ariana Grande's new album: eternal sunshine, playing in the background.

"This love's possessing me but I don't mind at all." - supernatural

"Won't abandon me again for you and I." - imperfect for you

"I'll play the villain if you need me to." - true story

"So I try to wipe my mind just so I feel less insane." - eternal sunshine

"How can I tell if I'm in the right relationship? Aren't you really supposed to know that shit?" - intro (end of the world)

"Keep moving like, what's next?" - yes, and?

"I don't need no diamonds, just your time." - ordinary things (ft. Nonna)

This album is sooo dreamy. I can't. 10/10. Absolutely one of her best. It has so much potential.

Dialogue Prompts

Alright, here's part 7 of the dialogue prompts! But surprise, surprise! This one is a heist prompt (one of the favs.) and is pretty long. So enjoy! :)

"You're going over there with hi?" "You're not going to get anywhere with that." "What? What is wrong with that?"

"Try again." "I'd know that line anywhere."

"There we go." " "Why didn't you just start with that?"

"You know who I am?" "You're gonna buy me a drink first?"

"He's in a meeting." "If he's in a meeting, then I know he'll see me now." "I'm sorry, sir. I tried stopping her." "It's quite alright."

"Sweetheart, time to go."

"You're planning a heist without me?"

"How dare you?" "I suppose I should go after her?" "Nice try, buttercup. I'll do it."

"he's in trouble. he could use your help."

"Look, if you didn't want me to be apart of this, you shouldn't have told me where you were going." "She's got you there." "You were saying?" "I figured out your little problem."

"You're too smart for your own good." "You can blame dad for that one. I get it from him, clearly."

"Do you want to hear it?" "You got all of that?"

"Perfect timing. I'm getting married!"

"We can have the biggest wedding, okay? We can spend whatever we want! We've got the money for it!" "Or not? okay? I just want to make you happy."

"You really are perfect."

"Question. Won't he know I stole it from him, if I'm the only one that has been in contact with him?" "That's the brilliant part." "You'll slip it back into his pocket then."

"Somebody help him!"

"I'm feeling a bit faint."

"You look so handsome in that suit."

"And that's where I come in." "And pray tell, what can you do sweetheart?"

"Is that the only word you know?"

"keep your thoughts to yourself." "sorry dad."

"You can beat anyone to a pulp and you're afraid of heights?" "It's not ideal, no."

"I give you the finest food around and you don't eat it." "That's because I don't trust you."

"Mom, I need some marriage advice." "What makes you think I'm the best person to come to for that, well, with your father and everything?"

"You have two weeks."

"There's a bit of a hiccup."

"All I'm trying to do is get my wife back!" "It's a fine job that you're doing." "Look, I didn't get a chance to apologize to my wife before, and now I'm trying to get her back, so I can do that properly!"

"You really love her, don't you?"

"I sent her home!"

"you're the only person to get in and out of jail multiple times."

"do you know how embarrassing it is to have your mom come and get you?" "how could you tell dad?!" "he's never going to let that go huh?"

"What loyalty to you have to them?"

"What did you do to get arrested?" "Do you really wanna know?" "well, yea. that's why I asked the question."

"You didn't really think that I'd let all of you rot in the cells now, right?"

"This is a break out." "I'm so happy to see you right now."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Believe me. We won't be here that long."

"You can't or you won't?"

"You created that fight on purpose didn't you?"

"Where's my wife?!" "She's perfectly safe. Believe me."

"I'm getting a sister?!"

"He should be doing fine. Taking over the plan. I should know. Taught him everything." "That makes us feel better."

"Right on time. Perfect."

"Show off."

"Our old spot how nice."

"If you want to want escape you have to do it now."

"We told you to stay in the car!"

"I love it when they argue."

"They're just kids in love Let em' be." "I told you. They're not in love." "I beg to differ. Have you seen the way he looks at her?"

"We are not done talking about this young lady."

"It got boring waiting in the car. What do you expect?"

"You take orders... Or you get left behind."

"That's the way the cookie crumbles."

"I need it to be an exact replica of everything in this room." "You've got it boss."

"What was that?" "I don't know I panicked!"

"I had nothing to do with this." "Save it for the court."

"That's a fake kinda name." "She's good."

"The boss wants to have a word."

"And here we have the original master."

"Take it or leave it. The choice is yours."

"Runs in the family, I suppose."

"I won't call."

"Tell me I'm wrong and I'll stop."

"I have a plan. You're not going to like it."

"You got out of prison and you didn't come and see me first?!"

"I know some who has the blueprints. Now shush."

"I can do it."

"It's never been done before." "They didn't have a plan. We do."

"I win now."

"I told you. I don't do that line of work anymore." "Like hell you do."

"You're the only one that can convince him to do anything."

"You don't even know that you're being followed."

"Oi! Take it outside!"

"I'll come with you."

"I think you just stole something from me. I'd like it back."

"I like that one. You should get that one. You look amazing."

"Hey. I've got some news."

"What? I'm just... very good at determining the worst possibilities that could potentially happen. Why does no one consider these when doing these missions?"

"I think it's rather fitting."

"You're not going to win her back this way! You've hurt her too many times to count!"

"The best part of my evening."

"Is that what you want?"

"thank you for coming back for me."

"You wanna take charge here pretty boy?" "Gladly baby."

"You had him tailed? When were you going to tell me about this?"

"I'm a demolitions expert."

"We can't leave the kid."

"You don't pull that stunt again. You copy?"

"Do it, but play nice."

"I've come to pay a visit."

"I haven't really spent any of it."

"We just spoke-" "I'm calling bullshit on that!" "Why's that?" "You don't like him!" "I can be civil to people I don't like." "No, you can't! You're passive aggressive!"

"Who's side are you on?"

"You're putting all of us at risk!"

"My family, my wife especially, need to be left out of this!" "Last time I checked, she was involved in this last time. So, I'm taking her as part of my consolation prize. I want my money."

"I'm wearing heals!" "So then take them off!"

"We could just throw a chair... or do that. That works too."

"Get a room." "If you would get out, we'd have one."

"Just pretend you're talking to me, baby. That's it. There you go."

"You have such pretty eyes. Just look up."

"I can't stand it when we fight... Look, can we just talk?" "I don't know can we?" "Don't give me that look."

"You. You put her in danger." "He did not! I wanted to go! Am I not allowed to do things?!"

"Don't let go of my hand."

"I've got it!"

"We don't want him here."

"How do you know that? I've never told told anyone that?" "It's a gift."

"I have no sense of smell."

"There must be a reason."

"You married into this. Remember that."

"We have orders to take care of you." "Be my guest."

"That's... not a bad idea."

"Is that the best you got?"

"Well, you couldn't do this on your own."

"You already knew part of the plan?"

"You can't have any part in this either." "What?!" "You have to take one for team!"

"Good to see you."

"I've been here the whole time! How could I possibly be in two places at the once?"

"I have to say goodbye!"

"We have to do this for her."

"That man would give up his girl for power. That's all I'm saying."

"If you're going to accuse me, I have five witnesses who saw me somewhere else, okay?"

"I think we can pull this off."

"Get out of there. Get out of there now!"

"I don't know what my mother sees in you."

"You hurt my daughter, I'll kick your ass." "Not my intention, to do so, but that's fair."

"If you're going to tell me to stay behind, like everyone else, I swear-" "I'm not here to do that."

"I'm gambling of course. There's nothing wrong with that is there?"

"You're on very thin ice." "Is this how you treat your customers? How disappointing."

"You look like your mother."

"They did what you asked! Now let me go!" "Not quite yet." "You can't keep me forever."

"And there we go. We're online!"

"I mean... unless we..." *partners share a look* "that's dangerous." "it is... but I'd reckon we could make it work." "oi! psychic twins. you want to involve us in this discussion?" *share look again and nudge each other* "you explain it."

"You can't tell me what to do. You are not my mother."

"You both are terrible liars." "Who said we were lying?"

"You're not dying are you? Please, tell me you're not dying."

"Let. Go. Of. My. Hand!"

"I don't see you coming up with any bright ideas."

"Hello handsome."

"If it's any consolation, you had me convinced." "It's not."

"You're only agreeing with him, because he's your father-in-law." "well, maybe it's because I have to!" "Yea, thanks for the backup there."

"You're tying that wrong. here. Let me help."

"At the first sight of trouble you are leaving. you hear me?" "yea, okay." "I'm serious. Your mom would kill me if you got into any trouble."

"That was so hot."

"You watch your language son."

"I learned a few things in the club."

"Since when did they become my responsibility?!"

"I don't know how you run in those things, sweetheart."

"Fine then. I'll tell mom the real reason you're here." "you wouldn't." "you wanna take that chance?"

"I knew it! You weren't here for me!"

"My wife says I need to take charge more." "It's not my fault that you're hot when you do it, babe!"

"God. You're so cute. I can't."

"Call me that again."

"What? What was wrong with that?" "Sweetheart. Just a little side bar. I know you feel bad about doing this, but if we don't do this, we're going to die, okay? Okay. Think of it as doing something bad for the common good." "She's right. Let's keep perspective."

"We got into a fight." "You just had to get into a fight now?! We're in the middle of-" "we'll get it the job done. you told us that the first rule is leave you're emotions at the door!" "yea, cause you've done such a good job at that already!"

"Look who I'm talking to! You've taught me every trick in the book and you expect me not to use it?" "Not this time."

"I could do it single handedly."

"Married couples am I right?!"

The Reader's Blog

Me, trying to convince you guys to read The Priory Of The Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon based off of these aesthetics.

First, we have the dragon rider, Tane.

The nameless one. (yes, that is a picture from the hobbit, in case you were wondering.)

The badass, Queen Sabran the Ninth

And finally, The lady-in-waiting, The exiled, The savior, Ead Duryan.

____________________________________________________________

This fantasy series is soooooo good. For me, personally, fantasy series have to be written right, and man. Is that the case here. There is one more book added to this one, which is the prequel to all of this. Such a good series. Took a while for me to get into it, but after I did, it was totally worth it! The ending was... was that immaculate. I couldn't predict anything that was happening here. 10/10 would highly recommend.

*also note, these pictures are not mine, I give all credit to the owners.

#priory of the orange tree #fantasy series #my writing #just introducing characters #ead is a total badass and is officially my favorite character

Dialogue Prompts

Alright, you guys. Here is part 6 of the prompts! No specific category for this one, though, but it is kinda long. So, enjoy! :)

"Let me do it this time." "Absolutely not." "You got to do the illegal stuff last time, why can't I do it this time?!"

"Shit. I got shot." "Good thing my dress matches my blood. It can blend in easier."

"There's a pair of tweezers in the bag there."

"I'm going to call it now."

"What's wrong with my outfit?"

"I'm sorry, I thought the whole point of being here was to not draw attention to ourselves?!"

"I haven't told them about the transfer yet..."

"Don't be rude. We'd love to come over."

"Well, whatever you do, don't rule that option out completely."

"I didn't know you could pull off moves like that."

"Um, that's the point. Gotta blend in."

"Yea, for my sake, don't tell anyone."

"I'm pissed okay?! That was a totally bust job, we got nothing accomplished!"

"Is that what you think of me?"

"Good! We never wanted you on our team anyway! You've been slowing us down, since day freaking one!"

"Guys, can we not fight?"

"Fine, then. Give me the keys." "I still think we should talk about this more-" "Keys. NOW!"

"Great. Now you've pissed her off!"

"I'm sorry, alright. You were right. I was out of line."

"You have my permission. Sign then."

"I thought this was what you wanted?"

"Take a deep breath. On the count of three."

"The stitches came out."

"Oh, come on. Don't be like that." "Don't be like what?" "You know what I mean." "Well, clearly, I don't."

"Since when did you know how to do this?"

"Do you really want to cause a scene right now?" "Yes, I want to cause a scene right now! How about this, you are so stubborn and so annoying!"

"You are both under arrest."

"She does have a point." "Who's side are you on?"

"Let. Go. Of. Me."

"No, I don't want to hear it. We told you this would happen didn't we? And you, didn't listen!"

"Yea, can we not go to prison? That would be great."

"Tell him I said hi."

"I don't like this anymore than you do."

"We have no other choice."

"So, who's fault is that? Because I'm not cleaning this mess up."

"You said this about her? No wonder she wants to transfer."

"I don't think this is a good idea."

"They'd look so cute together.... We should set them up."

"You really think that he kept the letters after all this time?"

"Long time no see!"

"Can you watch him for a second? I'll be back."

"I'm honestly surprised that you didn't know that fact."

"Noice. Let's go." *fist bump*

"We should wear a type of disguise. So, we don't get caught."

"Turn it around... be careful."

"We're so close, I can feel it."

"So, the best option is to split up. You. You're coming with me."

"Yes, that would be a big problem if that happened."

"They've found the car."

"My drill broke!"

"Take the frame, we're going to have to take it apart in the elevator."

"You're not the only one."

"I hate him with every fiber of my being."

"This is between the three of us. Nobody needs to get hurt here."

"I don't think you understand the situation here. I'm holding all the cards and yet, you're trying to negotiate with me."

"You can have all the treasure, just let us go!"

"Mmm... I don't think I will. See, you have another clue."

"I don't... I'm out."

"Let's give it some finishing touches."

"We have to go inside."

"I don't think that we have to go somewhere else, I think it's still here."

"But where?"

"Give a little warning next time, before you do that."

"All tunnels have to end, eventually."

"I'm sorry I snapped at you."

"What's happening here? You gave them a fake clue." "We had to buy ourselves sometime."

"It's not what I thought it would be."

"Please, don't break. Please don't break!"

"Um... because you're the bad guy?"

"I've found door number three.... And I'm gonna take it."

"I'm not doing anything else for you unless you answer my questions."

"But it gives me more time to spend with you!"

"Did you guys not read my book?" "I have! I've read it! More than twice!" *whispers* "I think I'm your biggest fan, babe." "Not gonna lie, you definitely are."

"I'm going to run this red light!"

"Watch the people!" "I don't think we're supposed to be going down this way."

"He's right behind me! Where else do you want me to go?!"

"They're right on their way, right now, and I'd guarantee they'd love to meet you too."

"That was hot." "Aw, thanks, babe."

"Fine. But your henchmen stay behind. It's just you." "What makes you think that I'm gonna agree to those terms?"

"Go! I'll meet you at the car." "How do they expect to meet us there?!"

"It's going to take forever to dig these rocks out of the way."

"DON'T LET GO OF MY HAND!"

"You demolished my family name for this?"

"Alright. That's it! I'm going to deck the living shit out of you!"

"It comes in a series."

"Didn't... didn't they get married?"

"I'll stay! I'll stay behind, look! I'm staying."

"So, you won't tell me the way out, unless I give you what you want?" "The way out is through that tunnel there." "Why are you doing this?"

"I can't help you, unless you find what you're looking for." "I won't let you down, sir."

"I'm telling you exactly what it says."

"Alright, you're the only one who knows. Indulge us. What's the next clue?" "You think I'm gonna give that up so easily?"

"Yes, thank you, for clearing that up."

"The wall closed behind us and trapped us in." *touching the wall* "There has to be a way out!"

"I'm in. If you are, that is."

"No hesitation, okay?" "Right. It'll run the whole plan."

"How exactly do you expect us to pull this off?"

"There's only one way now: forward."

Dialogue Prompts

Here is part 5 of the prompts! Again, we have more storyline creations, but apparently, we're jumping ship, when we have another idea. Anyone else do this? Even though, I generally don't categorize my prompts, this one is more of a fantasy prompt. Anyways, let's go!

"I thought your kind didn't exist." "Yea, you and everyone else."

"I did not come here to babysit!" "Then what did you come here for?"

"You worked for them? Yea, well now you work for me."

"I'm here to train you on everything you don't know." "What makes you think I don't know anything, huh?"

"Shut up and pick up the sword."

"He's going to eat you for lunch."

"Because it is your duty." "Well, fuck that!"

"You have a real chance at making things better than they are right now and you're refusing to take it!"

"You're not a child anymore."

"These are my brothers." "You bring someone like him here?"

"Didn't have much of a choice now did I?!"

"It's a very safe location, no one knows where it is. Except for us of course."

"If your'e going to talk the whole way there, I might just have to find a way to shut you up."

"Don't touch my horse."

"I'm glad to see you. Didn't think that you'd make it through the winter!" "Do you really have such little faith in me?"

"Take a drink."

"And what do they call you exactly?"

"You've gone soft."

"They are not ready for that!" "Don't interfere. Let them figure it out."

"What is the matter with you two?! He is not prepared for the trials!" "Whose fault is that?! If you would stop babying him, he'd get further in with his training!" "If we do it your way, he''ll be dead before he is crowned king!" "Do nothing, watch."

"Don't give me that cliche crap."

"Can you hand me my bag?"

"I'd like to re-register within the system, please."

"You can't make a scene. You're too good."

"Alright, alright. You've made your case, she is one the fourth floor."

"That is not a fair observation!" "And neither is your request!"

"Your butler wouldn't let me in."

"I have to do something big." "You don't have to do anything!"

"Oh dear. You don't know about the policy? The new policy?"

"What makes you think I can fit in that?!"

"You're engaged to the man, not me." "God, don't remind me."

"It would never work."

"Mmm... so close."

"That won't go over well."

"So, you're the brains of this operation. What do you suggest I do?"

"Go! I'll buy us sometime!"

"Yes, well, nobody seems to care about what I want!"

"We're... we're even now. Okay?!"

"More evaluating?! You do realize that I have a life right? I can't wait that long-" "A life that you abandoned, let's not forget. A life that you just started to pursue, only due to certain circumstances."

"I was wondering when I might see you again."

"Packing? Packing for what?!"

"I'm leaving first thing in the morning."

"Hide! In the closet!"

"Not by choice, remind you."

"Do you know who this is?"

"No, they can't do that! Not while I'm around."

"What do I need to do to get this cleared?"

"I'd like to make an appointment." "State your business here, sign and date on the bottom right here."

"isn't there a faster way to get this done?"

"Wait outside will you?"

And... that's it! This one is a bit shorter than the others... but that's okay though! Enjoy! :)

Things that can throw off a case

A missing item. (This one is good.) Especially if the item is something the deceased carries with them all the time. And everybody knows they don't go a day without it. Great examples: Duke's phone + gun: The Glass Onion. In this case, someone takes it because it could contain vital info. as to who the killer is. Or as to why they died. Deadloch is a tremendous example, because things go missing in that town all the time. A phone, a mast, a body, a car. It's great.

A person's alibi. (This one is pretty self explanatory, but there are different ways to use this one. Someone could be lying to cover or the timeline is fucked up)

NOT doing background checks on everyone that's a suspect. (Again, different ways to perceive this one.) I have to say though the cops in DEADLOCH really screwed this up. They only included like half the town. However, it was written in such a way it was brilliant. (SPOILER: they didn't even know their main suspect was DEAD) Also, Death in Paradise, is semi-guilty of this one too.

Not interviewing everyone equally. Usually, in this one, the cops will have their main suspects to focus on and dismiss the rest. This leads up to whoever they interviewed the least ends up being the killer (somethings it's a close friend or even a family member). Again, DEADLOCH is guilty of this one, but it's so GOOD.

Dismissing evidence early on. It's the small things really. Something could be out of place, the detective points it out, none of the suspects know anything of it, everyone thinks they're nuts... and then they leave it out until the very end which is where the detective pieces it all together. Death in paradise, is very guilty of doing this move too. Again, it's done in a creative manner.

Rivalries. This one might seem dumb, but if you don't get along well with your partner, who is fighting you every inch of the way, then you can't get anything done can you?

Inconsistencies. If a body is murdered differently than all the others... Or if the evidence doesn't add up... Pretty self- explanatory. You've got to be really creative to put these together and make sure they make sense for the audience.

Not knowing how the murderer committed the crime. This is pivotal. If you don't start with this one, then what are you doing?! How can you possibly manage to solve the crime? Have a starting point, a theory, and then go from there.

Not paying attention to people's words! The characters could say that the victim was absolutely lovely and in reality everyone actually hated them. Or they could slip up a person's alibi. Different ways to use this one for sure.

Video cameras. Pretty self-explanatory. Could give you a lead in a dead end.

Not knowing what the murder weapon is or where it is. If it's missing that should be a top priority! They could use it again or hide it; could come back to find it, nearly getting caught while doing so. Examples: death in paradise, midsomer murders, deadloch, liar's beach, the other half, etc.

A character's past. If, it's a movie or tv show, we can see certain movements where the character does something sinister. Like sneaking around, a character hiding something.. Or it can be a motive for murder. Yes, I'm looking at you Deadloch.

The point of the game/playing the game. Once a character figures out why they're there, all hell breaks lose. People start dying off one by one and they've got to solve it before they die too. Usually, in this one, everyone dies except the main character. Examples: she started it, their vicious games, the hunger games, coraline, + you're so dead... just to name a few. I really love this trope, it's just a puzzle and you've got it figure it out in order to survive. It tests the very strains of humanity too.

Leaving something behind. This can tie with the missing item ,but it is rarely shown. It can show a person's character, or a clue, if done right. If found, can make the detective question everything that they know.

Where someone was murdered/found. The victim can be placed in someplace where they hated/loved. Or can question why they where even left there in the first place.

The time of introducing the characters. In some cases, the murderer won't be shown until a few chapters in or at the very beginning. It all depends on the story.

_____________________________________________________________

And that's it! Although I would like to mention that I include Deadloch in here quite a lot, it's because it's a brilliant show, if you like murder mysteries, of course. It turned out to be quite a guessing game as to who the killer is. Would highly recommend, 10/10. And I'd also like to note that the show pretty much does everything on this list, but it all pans out.

Here is part 4 of the dialogue prompts! Just had a bit of inspiration for a new story, so there are a LOT OF THEM. Enjoy! :)

"So, who do we have then, if they're dead?"

"I've heard that expression before."

"Is that a threat?"

"These concerned parties need to have themselves heard otherwise I can't give you clearance."

"How uncomfortable are we talking?"

"He's a nice kid, love. Not too bright though."

"It was easy. Almost too easy."

"I'm a very busy woman. Okay? Next time, make an appointment."

"Get straight to the point detective."

"This is quite an establishment that you've got going here."

"Well, we both know that's bullshit."

"Give me one good reason as to why I should do that."

"You should let them go because it's the right thing to do, but I doubt that means anything to you."

"And that's how you did it."

"You come into my facility, you lie to me, you make threats and you low ball me? Please, I've got better things to do than to waste my time with you. Get out. Get out now!"

"You don't get it do you?"

"How could we have messed this up this badly?"

"Do I look like a person that would do that sort of thing?"

"We got away with it!"

"They don't have any evidence? No fingerprints? Nothing?"

"We don't even know why they were attacked."

"And no one is asking that question!"

"I mean, I'm being framed here, but it's not like anyone cares."

"And yet, I'm not allowed to see my client."

"This is a wrong accusation."

"You have a witness?" "I do."

"Did you see that video?"

"And there's always that one family member that shows up late for everything."

"Not to worry. I have a backup plan."

"I'm going to keep asking, until you give me a good answer."

"It's because it seems like this whole universe is against me!"

"You ain't even from here are you?" "All you've done is lie to these good people."

"You can't tell me who I can and can't sleep with. You are not my mother!" "I might as well be."

"We're not taking any visitors at the moment."

"Let me see what I can do. The full works. Make some phone calls, talk to people. You know, stuff that you don't do."

"I saved your skin here, let's not forget."

"You know, maybe we should run. Pack up our things and go."

"It's not against you or anything."

"It was too late. They had gotten to me first after you left."

"Now, they're after me. Not you darling."

"I'll go!" (everyone: "NO!")

"Oh, I'm not ignoring what happened between us earlier. I'm using it to my advantage here."

"You do understand that if they catch you, they will kill you."

"I'll be down the hall if you need anything."

"You won't do any of that."

"Go after her. GO!"

"I hate seeing you like this... so, we're going to do you a solid mate."

"Those traitors! I'll get you back for this!"

"You still remember how I take my tea?" "Of course, I do. It's you."

"Why'd you disappear on me, all of those years ago?" "It's not that simple. If it's any consolation, it didn't have anything to do with you." "That makes me feel loads better. But it's still not an explanation!"

"This calls for a celebration!"

"It'll be an in and out job, love. I'll be back before you know it."

"Has it ever occurred to you that maybe she doesn't want to be found?"

"It's none of your business!"

"Oh shit, I grabbed the wrong one." "It better be a damn good funeral."

"I am... a freaking genius! LETS GO!!!"

"What kind of organization are you running here?!"

"I am asking you, because I know that you can handle it."

"I want to read the card."

"You didn't have to make a big deal out of it."

"Give me the keys, I'm leaving."

"You know what?! Maybe I should take the transfer!"

"Can I say something?!" "NO!!"

"Waste of time, huh? Guess who got these documents, from him? Oh, wait. It was me. All me! You're freaking welcome."

"Cancel everything! I have an important announcement to make!"

"I want to do it on my terms." "I was thinking about this earlier."

"We're considering all options." "Like what? Like handing over the kid?" "I told you. We're considering every avenue."

"This is where it all starts." "I haven't told them yet."

"We did give you a bit of a warning."

"You knew?! All of you knew? How come she didn't tell me about it?!"

"Because we'd knew you'd react like this, that's why!" "Fine then. Let's go the extra mile, shall we? I forbid you from seeing him!" "You can't do that!" "I believe I just did!"

"Don't you have anything to say about this?" "I think he's got a point."

"Oh, sure! Way to side with him."

"I should be able to make that decision, I'm older than you!" "Not by much though."

"I can have it reversed if I need to."

"And that's a major if okay? All of this isn't going to be enough. We need hard evidence! Not something that you stole!"

"Way to piss her off man."

"You really have to tell that story again?"

"That was so rude of me. I do apologize."

"She's listening to that song again! It's been nonstop for hours! Make it stop!" "Go talk to her!" "What do you expect me to say, huh?"

"I think you're making too much of this. You do have a tendency to overthink." "I do not. Okay, fine, maybe I do."

"Hopefully it gets a little bit better for you."

"I know. I'm just teasing." "Welcome to my world."

"Yea, but I didn't want to see that." "He didn't seem to have a problem with it."

Me, trying to convince you guys to read Aphrodite Made Me Do It by Trista Mateer and When The World Didn't End by Caroline Kaufman based on these aesthetics.

These are easily two of the best poetry books that I've ever read. The first one was outstanding and made me rethink everything is perceived. The second one is good too, it made me feel like it was 2012, when we all thought the world was going to end then. Thought it was a bit different than most poetry books. Also, both of these books don't repeat the same thing over and over. They both talk about different things. It's nice for a change. For sure, an eye opener for both of them. Little bit of reminiscing quite a bit actually. 10/10.

Here is part 3 of dialogue prompts! Again, these are NOT in categories. Here we GO!

"We have to keep this on the down low, okay? We don't want anyone freaking out about it."

"You weren't supposed to tell anyone." "Yes, well, it's a bit late for that, isn't it?"

"You stay, I'll go."

"I did not lie to them, I told them fragments of the truth, that's all."

"Because you weren't anywhere where you said you was!"

"It better be a damn good funeral."

"I didn't mean to blow myself up."

"We're sending you the log files, stay on the line."

"What kind of organization are you running here?"

"I am asking you, because I know you can handle it."

"There's a telegram for you."

"Hide! In the closet!" "What makes you think I'll be able to fit into this thing?!"

"Be careful of the bushes."

"Why is that window open?" "Uh... because I'd like to have some fresh air? I've been cooped up in here for too long." "I'm not sure if I buy that, but I'll let it slide."

"No, you need to relax."

"I'd like to stay. If that's allowed."

"It's for one night. Sneak out with me."

"You didn't have to make a big deal out of it."

"Oh come on. No one's going to believe that story. Which is why we're making a new plan."

"I can do it." "No, you won't." "Yes, I will and you can't stop me."

"I know who you are. I don't know why you're here, but if you ever pull that shit again, I swear I'll..." "You'll what?"

"We're going with the next best thing."

"I want to read the card."

"I.. haven't told them about the transfer."

"I told you that in confidence."

"Oh no, you're not getting off that easily. Not until you tell me why-" "I don't have to explain myself to you!"

"Fine. I guess I'l have to take matters into my own hands."

"It is exactly the same thing."

"Give it to me! Let me read it!"

"Like I would ever forget you guys."

"They stole my plane." "Thought you'd seen the last of me, huh?"

"I didn't have time to do all of the these murders. I don't even have time to sleep, man."

"Not my problem." "I'm about to make it your problem."

"Everyone out of the water!"

"NO! NO! You're not listening to what I'm saying."

"Well, that narrows down the options. There's a hundred items here."

"We didn't want to do this, but we had no other choice." "You can see that, don't you?"

"You were supposed to be keeping eye on her!"

"You keep escaping. You're not supposed to do that."

"How about we get rid of her and make it look like an accident?"

"I'd knew you'd flake on me, you flaker!"

"Oh, come on. There's no way she could've survived that! Let's go before someone pins it on us, or worse sees us."

"You have arrived at your destination."

"I don't want to do this." "Yes, you do. you don't know what you're talking about. Think about the money. We need the money."

"I'm sorry, do you want to do this?" "Nope, I'm good. I'd rather not get my hands dirty."

Hey guys! Here is day 5 of writing cliche murder mystery scenes. Again, not edited, but let's go! :)

"Holy shit," you whispered, nearly dropping your drink. You smack Rebecca's arm repeatedly. She whips her head around, glaring at you.

"What?!" She quips. You point to the door. Her jaw drops and she curses too.

Penelope ambles over to the two of you. "Is that who I think it is?" You nod. You take a deep breath.

"Shit's about to get interesting..." You sing.

"Well, who the fuck invited her here?" You shrug your shoulders. She stomps her foot. You sigh.

"This was supposed to be MY perfect bachelorette party. She comes in and she's going to ruin the whole thing!" She turns to you and smacks your arm.

"Do something!" She hisses. You roll your eyes and amble towards the door, waving at Ainsley.

"Ainsley! Hi! It's so good to see you!" Before she has a chance to respond, you pull her in for a hug. She barely responds to the hug, understandable. You pull away.

"Don't lie to me. You can be fake with them, just don't lie to me." You gape at her. You nudge her shoulder.

"No, really. It's good to see you. How long has it been?" She squints at you.

"Uh... since the incident? So about 5 years..." You nod. You rock back and forth on your heels.

"How've you been?" You ash, trying to make conversation. She opens her mouth to respond, but she shuts it as Rebecca ambles on over.

"You. I... I cannot believe you're here after everything thing that happened." Ainsley shrugs her shoulders.

"I am here now. So, I believe you're going to have to get over it." You cover your mouth, trying not to laugh. Freaking savage. The girl has got some sass. Rebecca glares at you and you look down, knowing your place.

"I hope that your connection with (y/n) is strong, because your time here will be hellish." She steps forward, looking her in the eye.

"Well, then you'd better be prepared with some retaliation because no matter how much you try to get rid of me, I will still be here." She growls.

"Not if I have anything to say about it." She flips Ainsley off and walks away. You snort.

"I'm so sorry about her," You trail off. She shakes her head.

"Anything that they have planned for me, I welcome it. It couldn't be any worse than what you lot did 5 years ago." You cringe and sigh.

"Somehow I doubt that," You murmur. A waiter shows up with wine glasses. She takes one off of the plate and drowns the whole thing. She looks you in the eyes and waves the glass in the air.

"Let the party begin!" Let it begin indeed.

Me, trying to convince you guys to read The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang based on these aesthetics.

The concept of how everything started and ended in this first book is very interesting.

Dialogue Prompts

Here's prt. 2! These are not in categories. Let's go!

"Seriously? Are you really eating popcorn right now?"

"I can't be here long, so I'm going to be quick."

"After everything we've been through? We're this close to solving the case-" "We don't even have a suspect! Or evidence! All we have to go on are your crazy theories!"

"I don't have to explain myself to you."

"Oh, sure ! Leave it to the professionals! If you lot had just listened, they'd still be alive by now!"

"Thank you all for coming to this fine dinner."

"It's not like we had a choice in the matter."

"The death was natural causes. I've told you this before."

"Is that who I think it is?"

"If this is because of what happened last night, then you really need to get over yourself."

"I'm not sure that you're understanding me. Break the contract."

"Don't you ever mention her name again."

"Okay. Now remember. No hesitation. You'll give it away." "Because why?" "It'll ruin the whole thing. They'll know that you're lying."

"What if something goes wrong?" "It won't, I'll stick to the plan."

"I didn't want you to find out."

"Are you for real? I saved your ass and you're yelling at me!"

"I've been requested?"

"You're through! The both of you!"

"I want it to be good, not great. Not good, great!"

"This happens every Christmas. I'm so sorry." "It's actually quite entertaining."

"I'll hold it, if you want to pour it."

"But they can't have all done it."

"You're coming over to my house and I'm cooking you a large meal."

"We planned one where people don't die."

"Way to kill the mood, man."

"I'd like to see you do better with the information that we have."

"How has no one noticed this?"

"Show no mercy."

"Don't trust his promise! He's just going to break it again!"

"Let's be realistic about this."

"Quit acting so innocent, okay? It doesn't work on me."

"Come on, let's get you a police ride home."

"You guys are literally two ends of the same spectrum."

"Fireworks? Oh please. That is so tacky to have at a wedding." "So, you already know what you want to have at a wedding then?"

"I can make a better speech than that."

"Enjoy the party detective. While you still can."

"Aren't you the least bit worried about your own husband?" "Oh, no. Not really. He comes and goes like this all the time, I wouldn't waste your time with it. He'll come around eventually."

"We already know that dumbass." "Yea, thanks for nothing!"

Alright, here is day 4 of creating cliche murder mystery scenes! I kinda like this one... I want a scene where someone actually helps out the police by telling them everything they know. Instead of sneaking around, hiding and lying. That's getting old. Basically the reader being kind of a snitch for the good for the community. So... that's what this is based off of. Also, another reminder, not edited. We're winging it. Here we go!

"Alright fine. I'll tell you everything you need to know," You pause. "Under four conditions..." You look around the hallway to see if anyone was nearby or even listening. The detective crosses her arms... She gestures for you to continue.

"Alright. I'm listening. Continue." You close your locker.

"One, the information I'm about to tell you... no one can know it came from me, got that?" She nods. You gesture to the door, so she can follow you out. You amble down the hallway.

"Two, I want to help you save this case. So. I demand that you keep me updated-" She laughs.

"That's breaking police protocol." You stop in your tracks and turn to face her, twisting the straps on your backpack.

"You said that you needed all the help you could get. This is it. You also don't trust your team... And thirdly," You open the door. "I, unlike you, know this school like the back of my hand." You hold the door open for her to walk through.

"Fine. What's your fourth condition?" You grab the keys out of your pockets, and unlock your car. You open the car door and lean on it. "You're here to listen to me. I want no questions until I'm done talking. Also. No interruptions..." She walks to the other side of the car and gets into the car. You slide in the door and start the car.

"You think that you can handle it?"

_____________________________________________________________

It's pretty short. But you got the gist, anyways, it's better than nothing! :) Word count: some words?

#girlboss #I see it I like it I want it I got it #guess who's the detective now? oh wait its me #snitches maybe get stitches?#I will help only under certain conditions #at least I'm not a liar #my writing
