Liora: They are definitely plotting something.
Xenia: Maybe they’re scheming.
Liora: No, scheming looks different. They’re definitely plotting.
Alex: I’m a God.
Arin: You yelled “shut up” at a thunderstorm and it happened to dissipate. It was purely coincidence. You have no power.
Galen: Shut it. They’re a God.
Galen: I’m wanted in a couple states.
Galen: Fifty, actually.
Alex: Thanks for letting me stay here.
Galen: Of course! As they say in France, ‘mi casa es tu casa’.
Arin: That’s Spanish.
Galen: People speak Spanish in France!
Piama: Ruelle is a homicidal maniac. And you’re not.
MC: Oh, we don’t know that yet. I’m still young!
Liliane: Good responses for being stabbed with a knife?
Hazel: Oh I made that!
Lorelei: That’s fair.
Ruelle: Can I keep it?
Xenia:...This. Again.
Fool me once, I’m gonna kill you.

Locker Room Talk Pt.15
The Ultimate After Workout Locker Room Talk
Amara walks into the locker rooms first in a bra and white short with after an amazing gym session. Her face is slightly pink and her skin is dripping with sweat.
Amara: That was a good session everyone
Aurora and Ranza walk in side beside in white bra's and red shorts, matching. While Ranza's hair is up in a ponytail, towel around her shoulders, Rory's hair is down and her towel it slung over her shoulder. Both of them have bandages around their hands.
Aurora: I need a cold shower- The fuck-
Ranza: I agree with both Amara and Aurora.
Helena's hair is in a high bun and her bandages are still tied around her hands. She is just as sweaty. Instead of shorts like the rest of them, she's wearing light grey sweatpants.
Helena: I have to agree it was a satisfying session.
Nora groaned walking in, holding the towel around her neck. Her hair was messy and she was POURING sweat from training with Helena. The bandage still on her hands. She sits against her locker, pouring water down her body as she talked...Almost everyone staring at her.
Nora: You say that because you won every time!
Helena: I'm skilled at what I do. But you'll get there.
Jessa bumped Lorelei's shoulder, smiling. They're almost matching. Jessa's wearing Lorelei's baggy sweatpants and a dark blue bra. Lorelei is just wearing white bra and brown shorts. Both of them are raining sweat, Lorelei's hair's a mess but Jessa still wants another round.
Jessa: I need a redo!
Lorelei: Starlight...you lost five times...
Jessa: So?! Gorgeous, I deserve to win a round.
Mackenzie and Revi are the next couple to enter the locker room. Mac is sweating a river while Revi is as energetic as always. Mac is wearing a white bra and green shorts.
Mac: I'll let you run with me under the full moon tonight...I promise it's amazing.
Revi: I bet it is.
Mac: But a cold shower does sound good right about now.
Revi: Agreed.
After losing to Nova repeatedly Madison's skin is sleek with sweat. Nova is sweating as well, but not as hard as Madison. Nova wears her regular black bra and shorts and Madison is wearing a dark magenta bra and black tight sweatpants.
Nova: You did good today.
Madison: You did even better. Taking me down time after time.
Nova: It's nothing compared to how you lasted longer than anyone else I've dueled.
Madison: I'm free after a meeting...Want to get some extra training in?
Nova: Of course ^^
Ruelle and Vinca walk in, side by side. Ruelle yawns and scratches her bare stomach. Vinca rolls her eyes.
Vinca: You cheated.
Ruelle: Not cheating if I'm using my resources.
Vinca: Who told you that.
Ruelle: Mistress Xenia.
Vinca: She...surprisingly isn't wrong.
Zhora walks in last and heads straight to the showers. Her skin extremely damp and her hair uncomfortably messed up.

After a long reteaching of Christmas, Onyx tells them to repeat after her.
Onyx: SANTA!
Helena: Breaking and entering
Emeril: Food raids
Amara: Facial hair = villian
Onyx: ...
Onyx: Godammit
Ranza: Don't think they'll agree...
Locker Room Talk, Christmas! Day 10
Amara and Helena walk in laughing and talking.
Helena: No! No! It was fun, truly.
Amara: Are you sure?
Helena: Yes! You are very good with your sword.
Amara: Thank you, Helena.
Helena: Anyti-
Onyx and Emeril walk around them carrying a banner, going on their tippy-toes to get the banner over them. They end up hitting Amara and Helena in the face.
Amara: Hold on! Hold on! What are you doing?
Onyx: Decor! Fifteen days until Christmas.
Helena: Pardon me for asking but
Amara: Onyx...what exactly is Christmas?
Emeril: I don't either...But she said help and decorate in the same sentence so~
Onyx: Awww...Meril- You could have told me.
Emeril: I'm sorry.
Amara and Helena look at each other, before getting the banner and putting it up where Onyx wanted.
Onyx: Thanks, loves! I'll explain what it is. Sit, my children.
Amara, Helena, and Emeril sit down as she explains Christmas with flare, making them laugh.
Helena: Mmm...Okay, I think I understand.
Onyx: What have you learned?
Helena: Light the fireplace on Christmas Eve.
Onyx: No!
Emeril: Lock the refrigerator!
Onyx: No...Emeril...
Amara: Don't let strange men with thick moustaches and beards into your home. Specifically of the snowy white colour.
Onyx: This is hopeless.
Locker Room Talk Pt.10
Ripley: I did it right...right?
Onyx glances over.
Onyx: Yeah.
She glances again.
Onyx: No...sweet, sweet baby...
Ripley adjusts the bra, pushing them up.
Onyx: No...no stop...you're making it worse...come here.
Ripley walks over, letting Onyx touch her chest to get her breasts in the right place. Well, what had HAPPENED was...It slipped for a moment.
Onyx: Oh! Oh! My bad!
Ripley: It's fine, you had no intention on doing it on purpose.
Onyx finally fixes the tit situation...Meanwhile...on the other side of the locker room.
Amara: I know you caught that.
Xenia: Like hell I did.
Amara: Can we agree we were looking respectfully before that happened?
Xenia: That's the one thing we can agree on.
Locker Room Talk Pt.8
Xenia: I don't see why you are angry...
Vinca: They were talking about me fucking Joan.
Yvette: They are right though...I don't understand why you're in your feelings.
*Yvette puts on her white gloves*
Yvette: Can we speed up this conversation? I have something to do. Say any girls name and I swear on everything that is sinful.
Vinca: I'm not.
Yvette: Mmm...Good.
Xenia: Was it how Runa said it?
Vinca: Yeah.
Xenia: The know it all tone or I'm better than you tone.
Vinca: Both.
Xenia: You'll be fine. She's just teasing you.
Vinca: I know that! But it still irritates me.
Xenia and Yvette: Then stop being irritated. Simple.
Vinca: Never thought of that.
*Vince rolls her eyes*
Xenia: Don't roll your eyes at me. I won't be afraid to put you in your place.
Yvette: I was about to say the same thing.
*Yvette walks off leaving Xenia and Vinca alone*
Vinca: I don't want to talk to you anymore. Bye.
*Xenia rolls her eyes as Vinca walks away*
Locker Room Talk Pt.6
Amara: I left my sword in someone's purse.
Nora: Amara...I don't think that's how this world works.
Helena: Nora is correct on that point.
Onyx: Yeah, I have never seen anyone stick a sword in a purse.
Nora: I surely wouldn't, I personally prefer a satchel.
Helena: Same here.
Amara: I have the same preference with bags.
Onyx: I like purses!
*Beat of silence*
Onyx: You saw Amala right?
Helena: Please do not bring up Amala.
Onyx: Alright then! Better topic of conversation!
Nora: Mhm?
Onyx: So...No one is going to talk about how Nova walks around in on-brand crop tops and baggy sweat pants.
Amara: Comfort clothes? I don't see what's wrong about walking around the dorms in comfort clothes.
Onyx: Not the clothes, Amara...THE ABS!
*Nora coughs*
Nora: Glad I'm not the only one staring.
*Everyone bursts into giggle*
Amara: Okay, okay. But can we please talk about Helena and her independent walk?
Helena: Isn't gossip supposed to be when the person isn't around?
Onyx: It's not gossip...it's complements.
Nora: Agreed, the way you sway your hips when you walk is something no one in this sorority can ignore.
Helena: I don't understand...
Onyx: You are sexy as fuck! No one disagrees.
*Nora and Amara hum in agreement*
Helena: O-oh...Thank you.
“I Love You...”
Love...is not measured in time
Not is it measured in feet or inches.
Not in gallons or cups
Not words.
Love can be many things
Emotions...
Behaviours...
Even beliefs.
But when love took me by the hand and led me to you
Did I snatch my hand away?
Or did I let her show me what I didn't see?
To show me you?
I let her lead me...
Guide me
And now I know that love is not just a word
Or A word at all
It's you
Your smile
How you make me feel
How you make me happy.
I may have got hurt on the way though
And I got through rather slow
But you still waited for me
Even if I have done something terrible
I thought if I opened up
That love will shatter all of my dreams
Shatter what I wanted
Whom I wanted.
You say things like
"Don't pay attention to the world ending
In the morning it'll begin again."
And it makes things better
I gave you the sun
And you gave me the moon and stars
You treated me like I was worth everything
That I can have everything
You are amazing and beautiful, my love
You are passionate and ruthless in the best way
You are loving and lovely
You are mine.
So don't tell me, even on your worst days
That you're selfish
That you're ugly
That you're not good enough
You are selfless and amazing
Beautiful and stunning
inside and out
And you are beyond enough
I feel safe and confident with you
Love is not just a word.
You are amazing.
I love you
