Dialogue Only

[isockenstein]

THE dialogue only MEME

Can you write a thread where you rely only on dialogue? No description, no introspection, no other prose. Just character talk.

Now's your chance to try!

Rules
1. Comment with your character and info. On top of that, do not leave your top level blank; your comment should also include a line of dialogue. It can be original or taken from a generator, like so.

2. Other players come in and keep the conversation going.

3. Who knows where lines with little context may lead?

          ❝ Um, just Blaine or Daddy will be fine, doc. ❞

[stemtypeoflady]

"Daddy, huh?"

[teamz]

          ❝ That was a joke. Unless... ❞

[stemtypeoflady]

"You into it?"

[teamz]

          ❝ I'm into... many things, doc. Hell, I've got a pair of handcuffs in my back pocket as we speak. ❞

[stemtypeoflady]

"You always come prepared?"

[teamz]

          ❝ Hey now, handcuffs can be used for both business and pleasure... I might have a duffle bag in the car for emergencies, yeah. ❞

[stemtypeoflady]

"And what did you use the handcuffs for the last time you had to use them?"

[teamz]

          ❝ I'd love to tell you a salacious story, but the latest use of them was yesterday when I cuffed two of my dumbass minions together as punishment for getting lost from each other on an important job. ❞

[stemtypeoflady]

"You're cool enough to have minions? All I've ever had were interns. Hold on. Are they you-know-whats too?"

[teamz]

          ❝ Yeah, they are you-know-whats as well. Human minions would be too fragile for this sort of business... Hey, if you wanted some minions to do your bidding too, that could be arranged? ❞

[stemtypeoflady]

"How much do minions even cost?"

[teamz]

          ❝ Seeing as I provide their brains and their booze, less than minimum wage, really. They're not... the brightest crayons in the box, is the tradeoff. ❞

[stemtypeoflady]

"Is because of the virus or they were always like that?"

[teamz]

          ❝ The virus. All zombies originated from the virus. I think Don specifically asked to be turned, if I'm remembering right. ❞

[stemtypeoflady]

"How come you're not like that?"

[teamz]

          ❝ Huh? Oh! Misunderstood you, I think. I haven't had my tea yet. You meant were they always stupid, not were they always a zombie...? Yeah, they were always idiots. ❞

[stemtypeoflady]

"Oh, phew. I thought the virus somehow made you dumber and you were the exception."

[teamz]

          ❝ Nah, we only get dumber and more feral if we haven't had our monthly brain... I forgot to ask, what's your area of expertise in your field? Ever seen anything like my kind before? ❞

[stemtypeoflady]

"Never, but my specialty is more astrophysics instead of biology. Did you say once a month?"

[teamz]

          ❝ Yeah, to remain upstanding citizens we have to at least eat one brain a month. Can be all at one time or throughout the month. Also, hot sauce helps a ton. ❞

[stemtypeoflady]

"Odin help me for this question, but-- what do they taste like?"

[teamz]

          ❝ The closest thing I can compare it to is caviar. Cheap caviar, but no fishy taste. ❞

[stemtypeoflady]

"And with hot sauce. What effects do you get from eating it?"

[teamz]

          ❝ I get skills, mostly. But if the personality is strong enough, I can take on those quirks as well. ❞
