(  some  wintery  dialogue  prompts  to  help  you  stay  warm  these  holidays!  feel  free  to  change  how  you  seem  fit.  )

❛ your lips look cold, want me to warm them up for you? ❜

❛ check it out, i’m a dragon! ❜

❛ you have snowflakes in your hair. ❜

❛ i know it’s winter, but you don’t have to act so cold! ❜

❛ want to go for a walk and check out all the lights? ❜

❛ how are you wearing shorts in this weather?! ❜

❛ it’s so cold, but you’re so warm. ❜

❛ i don’t need mistletoe to kiss you. ❜

❛ here, you can have my scarf. ❜

❛ want some hot chocolate? ❜

❛ you know, i’ve never seen snow before. ❜

❛ please open the door before i freeze to death. ❜

❛ but seriously, do you want to build a snowman? ❜

❛ there’s space for you by the fire, come sit. ❜

❛ wait, is that mistletoe? ❜

❛ winter is coming / winter is here. ❜

❛ a snowball fight? oh, it is so on! ❜

❛ looks like we’re snowed in for the night. ❜

❛ are you warm enough? ❜

❛ did you know that icicles make the perfect murder weapon? ❜

❛ i’m catching snowflakes with my tongue, what’s it look like i’m doing? ❜

❛ nightmare before christmas is a christmas movie. it’s literally in the title! ❜

❛ you look pretty covered in snow, guess that’s why they’re called snow angels. ❜

❛ you were outside for one minute, how can you be dying of hypothermia? ❜

❛ i think i burned my tongue on my hot chocolate. ❜

❛ i like it out here. it’s peaceful. ❜

❛ you’re like my own personal space heater. ❜

❛ if you don’t have gloves, you can just hold my hand. ❜

❛ if i slip on the ice, it’s totally your fault. ❜

❛ behold! the perfect snowball. ❜

❛ let’s just stay in and watch the snow. ❜

❛ i’m cold, can we cuddle? ❜

❛ i’ll be home for christmas, i promise. ❜

❛ holy shit, your hands are freezing! ❜

❛ there. now your snow angel has a friend. ❜

❛ what should we name our snowman? ❜

❛ i guess it’s just my overused hoodie and i against the world. ❜

❛ i’ll be your date for that christmas party if you don’t have one yet. ❜

❛ being stuck inside with you all day is my worst nightmare. ❜

❛ sorry! i didn’t mean to throw that snowball so hard. ❜

❛ i made a dick out of snow. it’s happy to see you. ❜

❛ there’s never a bad time for ice cream. ❜

❛ come here, let me warm you up. ❜

❛ you’ve never seen snow before? ❜

❛ the holidays aren’t so bad with you around. ❜

❛ either you cuddle me, or stop hogging all the blankets. ❜

❛ fine, i’ll be nice. but just until the holidays are over. ❜

❛ winter is for hibernating. i’m going back to sleep. ❜

what costume is ur muse wearing to the halloween party in stanley's diner? ("idk if my muse is allowed to--" bestie we're WAY past that now ur all attending, it's mandatory--)

[bailesona]

" ...well, you seem cheerful this morning. i'm imaginin' you wanna tell me why that is? "

OPEN STARTER! / STARRING: DANNY ESTRADA.

[bailesona]

" so... what are your intentions with our mother? "

OPEN STARTER. / STARRING: VICTOR PALMER!

[bailesona]

" so... you're on babysitting duty, then? " victor has a fork bearing a twirl of kung pao noodles half-way to his mouth, and suddenly thinks he might understand how it must feel to be his math teacher. optimistic, but forced to accept the inevitable F that he'll receive for his latest exam. " good luck. um... the squad have the night off. but i wouldn't hold any hope for them helping you; you're actually babysitting us AND the squad. "

OPEN STARTER. / listen, if u respond to this, ur muse will meet all the characters at some inevitable stage--

[bailesona]

" well, then. " a sigh is released, and with it, goes fiachra's careful construction of a false, innocent identity. " it's painfully obvious that you know i'm not a boring old tourist. so why don't we just cut to the chase? no more facades. sound good? "

OPEN STARTER. / STARRING: FIACHRA KELLY.

[bailesona]

" do not fret, friend. i'm not sure who or what has frightened you so, but you're quite safe here. come, let's go to the apartment. are you hungry? i've become quite good at grilling cheeses. "

OPEN STARTER. / from wyll, blade of frontiers and also one small corner of manhattan.

[bailesona]

" and what hour do you call this? hm? aisling may have low standards for timeliness, but i certainly do not. dinner started an hour ago; yours is in the mee-cro-wah-vay. perhaps you can show me how to operate it before explaining your tardiness. "

OPEN STARTER. / from anthony bc he got loud too.

[bailesona]

" ah! hello. you must be here for the barbecue, hm? i hope you brought your appetite, i hadn't expected our crew to prepare quite so much food. speaking of which... you didn't bring anything, did you? "

OPEN STARTER. / i have five dads to write starters for and richard insisted on going first. wealthy british dad vibes, check!

[bailesona]

so bc it's october and bc i now have the time to develop this concept, eoin kelly is being added here for a trial period! eoin was aisling's fiancé who died after fiachra sacrificed him to make aisling give up the soul stone, but eoin managed to escape with aisling by jumping off the cliff and into a boat docked below, getting dislodged and lost at sea for two days. eoin died after begging aisling not to bring him back as it would mean moira winning and the world being forever doomed as a result. however, it's been revealed that eoin has since been haunting the diner and the apartment and the squad at large as a ghost!

so if you want a starter from eoin (sans icons bc there are zero resources for this man) then hit the heart!

[bailesona]

starter call! (but i'm spinning a wheel so if u want a specific character lmk!)

[bailesona]

Send me a personal problem of yours on anon and I will try to give you advice in character.

the irony doesn't escape isabella. that she might find the diner to be the only reliable source of security in this ridiculous city. but look at the numbers. not a single crime has been reported in this neighborhood since 2012. aisling insists on walking lone customers to their cars in the darker hours of the night. the cctv cameras and digital security is honestly a masterpiece; the knowledge that the artist is a mere sixteen year old boy is just dazzling.

still, today isabella doesn't come in search of safety. she comes here simply to try and understand the sheer existence of the place. an idle project of a content couple, suddenly transformed into a culinary paradise, more now with new staff members such as @ncmad in the mix. isabella sits in a stool, leaning forward to catch her attention with a winning smile and just a touch of an apologetic gaze. " i'm so sorry, normally i have a clear decision about what to eat, but today i'm a little distracted! could i be a pest and ask you to recommend something? you seem like you have good taste! " / S.C.

[bailesona]

edgar has half a dozen nieces and nephews. he hasn't seen them in years, mind you. but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand aisling's frame of mind when she had to choose a babysitter. xavier is not a man you can easily refuse, but even if he was, aisling had agreed so quickly that you'd be forgiven for thinking she was happy to go. edgar knows better, though. she chooses to go, but not for any reason relating to enjoyment. either way, the decision to assign a member to the house was a calculated move. meant to intimidate her, naturally, but when she picked him, that was unexpected. and smart, too; the others, spare isabella and amita, were largely anonymous. he was chosen by her because a tiny mistake would rip his reputation apart.

not that mistakes would be made. he lacks the ruthless wrath that some of the others wield, and frankly he quite likes aisling's children. victor had some fascinating commentary to provide about sustainable plants in a city, eli has access to the best jazz music he's ever heard, maeve is reading fluent spanish novels that have long evaded their deserved praise. but as he begins to prepare some supper for the kids, immensely pleased with the quality and variety of ingredients on hand, his gaze is drawn to a figure in the doorway, and he places the knife down on the chopping board with a curious smile. " forgive me. she told me many things about all of you, and i recognize you very well from these details, but... names are my kryptonite, i suppose. @freezegirl, isn't it? i'm edgar. your... ah, aisling stepped out to attend a meeting. would you like some cocoa? it's my father's recipe, it's quite good... unless you're here for a different reason? " / S.C.

[bailesona]

starter call! (but i'm spinning a wheel so if u want a specific character lmk!)

my interview is in thirty minutes i'm gonna just stay here in the car and pretend like this isn't nerve-wracking for the next fifteen and then go in and hop my leg on the floor for another fifteen!

PROMPTS FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T USED TO KINDNESS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

what are you doing?

i can handle that myself, you know.

you didn't have to go out of your way to take care of me.

i'm not used to this. this caring thing.

thank you. don't ever do that again.

i thought you hated me, to be honest.

i didn't ask you to love me!

no one's ever actually just... sat down and listened to me.

i didn't think people like you existed.

is this normal for you? going out of your way like this?

i told you i had it handled. you didn't have to bother.

i... should probably thank you for that.

i don't know what to say. this has never happened before.

wait, that's mine. you fixed it?

you did all of this... for me?

that was the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.

i'm kinda at a loss for words.

i wasn't expecting this from you.

you did all this for me?

i had it under control.

when did this happen?

how long were you planning this?

i'm not sure what to say. i'm not used to this.

i owe you one.

that was... very kind of you. thank you.

i'm just not used to people going out of their way to help me.

usually people just look the other way, but you actually care.

this is weird. is this what caring about someone feels like?

i could have handled it.

this must have taken you forever to arrange. and you did it all for me?

it would be easier in the long run if we went our separate ways.

i hate being in other peoples' debts.

i didn't want this to happen.

people around me don't last very long.

i feel like i'm screaming and screaming and no one hears me.

i'm in your debt.

how did you find that? i lost that ages ago.

you actually... listened to me?

no one's ever paid attention.

no one's ever put that much time in effort into something for me.

when did i say that?

i didn't ask you to care about me!

i'm easily missed. people don't pay attention to me.

i'm invisible most of the time.

it's easier for people to look the other way.

do you do this often? help people?

i'm surprised you're still here.

if you're expecting something in return, forget about it.

you came back?

why do you care about me so much?

i'm a lost cause. you should just forget about me.

what's the use? there's no point.

i don't even celebrate my birthday. no one cares.

you can't just make someone care about you.

i thought you left.

what is it about me that has you so worked up?

you're making a big deal out of nothing.

thanks for patching me up.

you... brought this here for me?

but i didn't ask for this! i didn't ask for any of this!

stop smiling at me like that.
