OC in 15 Lines Tag

Thank you @honeybewrites for the open tag!! I've been wanting to do one of these, but it's hard as a relatively new account :D

Rules: Share 15 lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture their vibe. Bonus points for dialogue with no context.

This is Riley Cooper! I've found that her dialogue tends to be less revealing of her character than her inner monologue so I included a few non-dialogue quotes just for fun.

"Y’know, when you really take the time to look, bulletin boards are fascinating."

"You should start listening to me more often. I’m kind of a genius."

"Have you seen Assassins? It’s not quite Bat Boy weird, but it’s pretty out there. Sondheim wrote some pretty aberrant stuff."

"Truly an American tragedy."

"What? How am I responsible for your downfall?"

"I have an umbrella. An umbrella I might be willing to share if you walk with me to drama."

"Hey, I was reading Shakespeare when I was in seventh grade."

"That's objectively untrue."

I’m also medium to large dramatic if you can’t tell that already. 

I don’t feel excited. My heart and my head are too confused to leave room for me to feel excited.

Make no mistake, I’m totally in love with the English language, but I swear (bli neder) that I’m never going to so much as think the word “anadiplosis” the minute I finish junior year.

A word like that is born straight from the sky.

She laughs a little and I smile. I’m not sure what I’m smiling about. Maybe she has a pretty laugh.

I like to have a script in my hands when I’m onstage. It’d be pretty nice to have one offstage too.

Somehow, I feel like I’ve held this warm, sticky air in my chest before, as though every diner across the country shares the same breath.

Open tag for anyone who'd like to join!
