sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

A colour wheel divided into sections with dialogue tags fitting the categories 'complains', 'agrees', 'cries', 'whines', 'shouts', and 'cheers'

"I'm sure," you whispered. "They have made is highly known that I am nothing to them."

The potion seller placed the clear bottle down, outreaching their hands for the payment. Dropping the gold coins into their hand you greedily grabbed the bottle and left as fast as you came.

~~~

The potion seller places the love potion of the counter and say “Before I can sell you this, are you certain that the other isn’t in love with you?”

The Sculptor

When you live for centuries, you can see the extremities of time flowing around you. Your skin never fades, but your mind is always scratching itself with wisdom. Like sandpaper, it whittles just the top, things that aren't important to have. You find yourself carving out memories in wood and writing conversations in books. You convince yourself of the immortality of the written word, yet fail to recognize the wilting of paper.

Did you forget who they were? Who you were around them was different than who you are now. Your mind lives with termites and book worms. Faces crinkle and crack as time gives their once youthful faces wrinkles. Even fire is dangerous. Burning through a library of stories told only by yourself.

Did you know when you were young? As time speeds by, their faces get harder and harder to remember. Once they left you, once you left them. The pictures in your mind only remained for so long. Sure others could speak of them, but what happened to the words of the story? Twisted after every passing. Will they even live in the future?

You may be infinite, but your mind will forever be landscaped. Soon you will look in the mirror, and see a different person than you ever were. Your eyes are almost the same. But they’re scared. What you see is different from what you saw when you were young. Were you ever young? Or have you been stuck being fleetingly curious.

You look in the mirror at your own reflection, your own perfect body. And realize, you’ve changed. You may have forgotten them, their words barely living on paper. But you’ve found yourself able to move on. They’ve helped you through life, and living forever has never really helped anyone.

So It All Started When Yuu Has To Stay After School For Cleaning Duty, Nothing Can Hurt Yuu As Long As

So it all started when Yuu has to stay after school for cleaning duty, nothing can hurt Yuu as long as they have Takeo with them

Well no one expect when putting something back into the supply closet a mirror in the corner glowed

Not enough to light up the whole room but enough to shine though the cloth draped over it and catch Yuu’s attention

Well Yuu may be smart but like any person they walked up to the mirror and uncover it and something makes the child want to touch it

Letting their small fingers hover over the untouched surface and letting out a breath the child didn’t know they were holding in

Clutching Takeo harder in their opposite arm they let their fingers draw lines in the layers of dust and than finely placing their whole hand on the glass

Everything went dark and fear fell onto the small ability user as they thought they had fallen for another organization trap

Blah blah the entrance shit that happens and I’m to lazy to write it

As Crowley pushed the child in front of the Dark Mirror

“State thy name.”

“Yuu Sakunosuke.”

“Thy shape of soul is.... nothing”

“Come again?”

“I do not sense a hit of magic.”

“Then let me take their place I can do magic! See”

Yuu sits there like -_- please they just want to go back home stop lighting this place on fire you dumb cat

After Grim was taken care of before anything could happen Yuu looks the mirror dead in the eyes

“Take me back home.”

“I can not as thy dose not have a home in this world.”

“Pardon/What!?”

Well Crowley tells them they can now be a janitor and live in ramshackle dorm until they find away back

“You do know I’m a child right? If you don‘t look after me or the conditions of the dorm isn’t kept up that’s child abuse and negligence.”

Crowley then let’s the dorms go and take Yuu to their new home

Anyways they find Grim and stuff happens after that
