And how do you respond?

"Why did you make the demons better than us in every way?"
To which I'd respond,
"Look, I was completely hammered."

That's pretty much a whole Rick and Morty bit, isn't it?

"Creator, why do I exist?"
"You give quests and have no real significance passed this point"
"Well that's depressing"

I thought, therefore you were

You were, so i observed; thereafter i wrote.

Them: "Why did you do this to me?"
Me: cackles

Alexander: "Why do i exist?"
Me: "Cause of MY abuse"

"Why was I created?"
"Iunno. Just some random idea, I guess."

(I feel real weird putting a full fledged scene up here when everyone else has like, two lines at most but uh, it's what happened, so.)
She eyes me, the person in front of her, suspiciously, not quite believing that I'm her creator. She crosses her arms, rocking back on her heels, and asks "So… why? Why me, why all this," she gestures to the rock around her, then leans forward. "…and why all that?"
I tilt my head, thinking. "Well, it was all pretty gradual, actually. I had the idea of somebody wandering a maze, trailing their fingers over the walls as they went. That was a pretty vivid image in my head, so I wanted to do something with it. You," I gesture towards her "came up after I started doodling. I don't really remember the details."
She stares for a minute, then lets out a quiet "huh", and leaves. I let her go.

" Why did you do this to me, to my family? "

" Lmao, I was bored. Sorry. "

-"why would you create me?"
-"So you could be whatever I could never be"

This end up interesting. Makes me think about the nature of creation.

"What? You're saying you created me?"
"Well, uh… I thought I did. But I guess if you're… literally standing here in front of me… that's pretty subjective… o_o"

"You say I'm suppose to be you…? we look nothing alike.."
"Listen, you were what I want, But i love you my sweet daughter!!"

• I love my girl Scarlet with all my heart and she deserves the best but tbh i would cry if i ever say her in person shes beautiful

"Why'd you kill my dad right in front of me after I'd been tormented with him communicating with me and giving me seizures for 21 years?"

"I dunno man you were born to suffer so"

"Why do I exist?"
"Idk man I was tryna force my way through writers block so I self projected a character I guess."

"Why did I have to die so early"
"You were the first character i created and i got annoyed of you, sorry lol"

"But like why tho"

" So like … why do I exist ? "
" Well to be frank with you , you're the inconvenience of the plot . "
" . "
" Merry Christmas , by the way . "

"You created me, so you should know this. Does my life hold any sort of purpose?"

"No more than mine."

Mardosa: You had to google a lot of information about how to commit crime, right? How do you do that without getting in trouble?

Me: Lmao just end every search with "please NSA I am but a humble author who needs to know how about the annual profits of arms trafficking."

Bandin: "So, how does my story end?"

Me: "Punching the bad guy in the face."

Bandin: "… Score!"

Soccoro: "Why can't I have a gun? You should give me a gun. What do you mean narrative stakes."

Alice: "Why do I have to live with these people? I hate people."

Vina: "Can't you give me boyfriend? Or a girlfriend? When do I get one?"

Autumn: "What are the themes of my work? What statement does it make about humanity's struggles? Also, are me and Kaleb dating? I'm confused about that."

Kaleb: "What is wrong with you? You literally make up imaginary people to torment and kill."

can you make me more interesting…lol

"Why put me through all of this oh my god"
"To make an interesting story sorry about the dead parents lmao"

"why is the world so empty???"
"look planets are really big and my brain is really not and i should've stopped myself before i started but here we are"
