"Huh. Never thought I'd find so much in common with someone like you-- Not that it means anything, we just look completely different; almost like opposites. But that idea of not talking about yourself, not wanting to overshare or accidentally letting personal stuff slip out? I understand that feeling. I also understand that repulsion you have. Had it for a long while myself, and only just recently started feeling differently. Never thought it was possible, if I'll be honest. Sorry, I'm sure it's not a good topic to talk about."
Okay, I have no idea if this is too close or anything to regular one-line threads, but... Here's a new thread! It's your usual IC game, but with only dialogue. Unless your OC announces what they're doing/going to do, it can pretty much just be interpreted as a conversation. So no action beyond those quotation marks, basically!
As always, rules:
- No NSFW! Please.
- Sensitive content is allowed, but please spoil it/black it out. If you aren't sure, it's better to be safe than sorry.
- You can post after every 3 people, unless 2 days have passed. I'll change this if this takes off.
- There are no limits to length. You can make your character say a single word, or a wall of rambling. Just be aware that you can't be upset if the person below you didn't match your length! This is meant to be somewhat low-effort, so that's your warning.
- Follow-ups are allowed, but must be dialogue-only as well.
I'm probably forgetting something, but whatever! The person below me may get a free claim. If this posts IC, ignore it, I'll tell off whichever OC did it later.
"Hm? You... you're like me, right? I can sense it on you, these paladin senses don't lie-- Though, now that I'm a bit closer... perhaps we aren't so similar. How peculiar. I don't believe I've met someone with a mixture of blood like that. Not that I mind, I'm half-human myself. Do you possess the ability to fly as well? I was just about to take the old wings for a stretch, but you're welcome to come if you'd like."
"Heh, I like your enthusiasm, however, I really don't think much of what I've done really merits songs singing my praises... Most of what I do is my job. One I take great pride and joy in... but my duty nonetheless. But enough about me... Come, I'll pay you three shillings to sing our party one of the best drinking songs you've got!"
"Hey hey! You totally need a bard in your life right? Someone to sing about your special little adventures? Cause I can come up with like, a million verses about how you possibly slayed a Blood Golem or maybe will kick a goblin's keister or whatever. I just need three shillings up front, then we can talk about a payment plan in the future."

"Oh no, no, no! No playing with Gallivant's strings...I wouldn't want to throw you adorable kittens into a river if one of his strings snapped off!"
"My word! Kind of demon are you?! Your pupils keeps changing shape! Ah! And it glows too. Begone demon!"
"AHH!!! Get away from me you! And your creeepy octopus looking thingys! Help!! Security!!"
"Quite unfortunate for you, to be afraid of demons. There's an awful lot of them hiding in plain sight. You may want to watch your back."
"Oh dear, necromancy- I...will admit, miss, it does frighten me. I love life too much too think about it. Though I guess you've got to love life an awful lot too, wanting to bring it back, right? ......Pardon if it's intrusive, but...I have to wonder what it feels like. You're quite cheerful, but does it ever get a little sad? It must be a hard Craft to practice."
"O-oh! I'd be happy to help! Roses go lovely next to pansies. And if there's enough room, we could probably plant some lily of the valley. They both bloom mid-spring."
"W-Would you mind helping me grow some roses out in my garden? They'd.... look really well with my pansies... I bet you c-can make them look super pretty...!"
