❝ oh, what’s the point of explaining? you wouldn’t understand anyway. ❞ ❝ don’t grin like an idiot. there’s nothing funny about it. ❞ ❝ you’re losing your reflexes. ❞ ❝ they say the wisdom of ages is to be found in fairy tales. ❞ ❝ this sword can always be drawn again, faster than you can imagine. ❞ ❝ if i’m to choose between one evil and another, then i prefer not to choose at all. ❞ ❝ i don’t have anywhere else to run. i don’t know where i could hide. ❞ ❝ i’ll fill your evenings with tales of ever more astounding events from the past few years. ❞ ❝ i killed to avoid being killed myself. ❞ ❝ the world is changing. something’s coming to an end. ❞ ❝ are you really not frightened of me? ❞ ❝ talking and regretting won’t get you anywhere. ❞ ❝ don’t come back. never come back. ❞ ❝ how much of the rumours about you are true? ❞ ❝ people like to invent monsters and monstrosities. then they seem less monstrous themselves. ❞ ❝ it’s got nothing to do with you and that’s that. ❞ ❝ you need more than words to frighten me. ❞ ❝ what’s going on here? can’t i leave you alone for a minute? ❞ ❝ there’s something not quite right with you. i can sense that. ❞ ❝ am i supposed to give you advice and teach you how to live? am i your mother or something? ❞ ❝ evil is evil. lesser, greater, middling, it’s all the same. ❞ ❝ i’m not surrounded by any vortex or fate. ❞ ❝ i was beginning to worry. you didn’t regain consciousness for so long. ❞ ❝ the forest isn’t the safest of places at night. ugly things are heard and seen. ❞ ❝ there’s a grain of truth in every fairy tale. ❞ ❝ yes, i deceived you. i’ll deceive anyone if i have to, why should you be special? ❞ ❝ you’ve made your choice. are you sure it’s the right one? ❞ ❝ for some time now i’ve had hideous dreams. ❞ ❝ virtue is rarer today than a rock dragon. ❞ ❝ i haven’t got anything sharp on me. have a look for yourself. ❞ ❝ the day will come when people will learn, and get the better of you. ❞ ❝ it would be great if the cruelty of rulers could be explained away by mutations or curses. ❞ ❝ and to think that there are people who don’t believe in destiny. ❞ ❝ if you think i feel sorry for them, then you’re wrong. ❞ ❝ you’re talking nonsense while making wise and meaningful faces. ❞ ❝ i’ll confide in you, if you like. ❞ ❝ look at you — ethics, codes of practice, morality. who are you to talk? ❞ ❝ now, that, should really be of damn little concern to you. ❞ ❝ you look as if you are already a corpse. ❞ ❝ there’s no shame in fear. ❞ ❝ what do you desire? immortality? riches? fame? power? ❞ ❝ you underestimate my strength. ❞ ❝ do you want to burden your conscience with blood and death? ❞ ❝ now it’s as quiet as a grave. ❞ ❝ i know that, deep down, you like me. ❞ ❝ don’t leave yet. stay. a few more days. ❞ ❝ don’t do unto others what you would not have them do to you. ❞ ❝ i know my fate whirls about me like water. it’s hard on my heels, following my tracks. ❞ ❝ i’d prefer you not to make any sudden movements. ❞ ❝ help me up, please. ❞ ❝ i’ve never run away from anyone and i’m not about to change my ways. ❞ ❝ it’s my problem. my life and my punishment. ❞ ❝ the fact that you’ve arrived here exactly at this time can’t be a coincidence. it’s fate. ❞ ❝ slaughter and bloodshed can be avoided. ❞ ❝ you’ve got the devil in your eyes too. ❞ ❝ nobody’s ever called me that. say it again. ❞ ❝ humanity. that’s what you want. that’s what you dream of. ❞ ❝ what’s it to you what happens to me? ❞ ❝ you do realise that a sword alone will not defeat destiny? ❞ ❝ no, nothing’s wrong. i’m fine. quite fine. ❞ ❝ stories, well, i’ve heard them too. half are either made up or exaggerated. ❞ ❝ i could go where you’re going. i could keep you company. ❞ ❝ mistakes? of course i’ve made them. ❞ ❝ enough of this, we should go. it’s already dusk. ❞ ❝ maybe it’s customary, wherever you come from, to threaten people with swords? ❞ ❝ if it goes badly, i will defend my life. ❞ ❝ go on, thrust the sword into me. ❞ ❝ has loneliness got the better of you after all? ❞ ❝ everything can be dealt with. it’s only a question of price. ❞ ❝ you know my principle: duty then pleasure. ❞ ❝ i’ve never killed people for money, regardless whether it’s for a good or bad cause. and i never will. ❞ ❝ love and blood. they both possess a mighty power. ❞ ❝ i’ve got some medicine. we both need it. ❞ ❝ you’re embittered, hungry for revenge and conscious of your own powerlessness. ❞ ❝ what’s happening to you?

what’s the matter? ❞ ❝ i prefer to look after others. it turns out better in the long run. ❞ ❝ you haven’t got enough strength left. ❞ ❝ bravery isn’t going to be of much use to you. ❞ ❝ it doesn’t rhyme. all decent predictions rhyme. ❞ ❝ listen. you’re starting to get on my nerves. ❞ ❝ don’t do this. i want to help you. ❞ ❝ you’re a very interesting dinner companion. ❞ ❝ i’ll avoid that place like the plague. i’ll never go back there. ❞ ❝ you’ll soon see what i’m capable of. ❞ ❝ i do like you, although i don’t know why myself. ❞ ❝ it’s got nothing to do with me. i’m just asking out of curiosity. ❞ ❝ have you never heard of a sense of responsibility and plain honesty? ❞ ❝ you’re going there because you have to, aren’t you? ❞ ❝ we are what we are, you and i. ❞ ❝ did you see…did you see that? ❞

❝ how are you feeling today? ❞ ❝ what have you done? ❞ ❝ you speak of monsters, superheroes. that’s the stuff of myth and fairytales. ❞ ❝ are you stalking me or something? ❞ ❝ i know it’s a lot of blood, but you’re going to be okay. ❞ ❝ it’s like you’re not even here anymore. it’s like you’re a ghost. ❞ ❝ i can only help you if you’re truthful. if you open up to me. ❞ ❝ it’s okay to not be okay. ❞ ❝ even with it staring you in the face, you can’t admit it. can’t admit you’re wrong. ❞ ❝ it’s just scary to open up like that. to say how you really feel. especially to people you care about the most. ❞ ❝ i think maybe a part of me died that day too. ❞ ❝ it looks like a fairytale. a dream. ❞ ❝ everyone looks at me like…like i’m a monster. ❞ ❝ you start to believe all the things they say. that this place is cursed. ❞ ❝ do you ever feel like you’re losing your mind? ❞ ❝ look, i’m just trying to turn that frown upside down. ❞ ❝ this year is my year. i can feel it. ❞ ❝ i’m afraid you can become lost in the darkness. ❞ ❝ why do you keep pushing me away? ❞ ❝ i want today to be about me and you. ❞ ❝ if they wanna find out who you are, they will. ❞ ❝ please, just go away. ❞ ❝ only by facing all of ourselves, the good and the bad, can we become whole. ❞ ❝ i play that moment back in my head all the time. ❞ ❝ so much has happened since you left. ❞ ❝ did i survive?

❞ ❝ people just change, okay? that’s it. ❞ ❝ you gotta stop pretending to be someone else. ❞ ❝ i was so excited to see you, it was hard to breathe. ❞ ❝ i’ll smile as i watch them die a slow, agonizing death. ❞ ❝ thirty seconds or i leave without you, okay?

I’ll be reblogging this periodically, like a number of the calls I post, but please like this if you’d like me to come harass you @ you in IMs for plotting! Where I can go over the verses I have (both already on the blog and unofficial/unlisted ones) and we can figure out how best to interact for some full-fledged threads 😌
Me: don’t come here expecting romance with Veric, he doesn’t often fall in love very easily
Me sitting here at almost 4 am already thinking about romantic or borderline-romantic shipping:
The most NSFW Veric will usually ever get is the unspeakable violence he causes on occasion
I’m sorry y’all I am thoroughly distracted by designing Veric’s common spaces in Dungeon Alchemist
As someone who had my art taken for graphics and icons back in the ye olde days of Soul Eater, people who use the works of artists without obtaining permission will go to a special kind of hell

Veric was a stranger in a land foreign to him, and knew better than to let slip such useless hostility over nothing. It wasn’t the first time his trustworthiness or motivations were questioned and wouldn’t be the last, but what was more...
“You have little reason to, regardless of what I say.” What was this person’s connection to this place? It figured his rotten luck would have him stumbling upon a stranger without having even found his footing in this odd corner of the world. “All I can say is that I’m merely a traveler passing through, and whether you choose to believe me or not, well...” Dark hands smoothed down the front of his robes, oddly spared of grime or disarray for a supposed wanderer, but if it was his intent to look out of place, he more than managed it. But he couldn’t allow himself to be chased away, if there may have been a reason this newfound vessel of his had been placed here, of all places.
Veric straightened. “Regardless, I have no intention of staying here. Just as soon as I... discover where it is that I’m going.”
