[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Perry[/name_u]: “This life has been exactly what I always wanted. I’m at peace with the fact that it’s ending. 'Cause I did it my way and that’s all I wanted.”
WWYCS at their best friend’s wedding?
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Perry[/name_u]: “This life has been exactly what I always wanted. I’m at peace with the fact that it’s ending. 'Cause I did it my way and that’s all I wanted.”
WWYCS at their best friend’s wedding?
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f] - [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] probably wouldn’t say anything because she’d be too busy crying tears of joy…
WWCYS if their brother asked to move in with them?
[name_f]Arianwen[/name_f]: “No.”
[name_m]Calixto[/name_m]: “But please! I have a really good reason!”
[name_f]Arianwen[/name_f]: shakes head “No.”
WWYCS if they accidentally ate a bug?
[name_f]Neryss[/name_f]: “Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! That is disgusting! Ew!”
[name_m]Erasmus[/name_m]: “Ha! That is just too funny!”
[name_f]Neryss[/name_f]: “Funny? Funny?! Then why don’t you try it?!”
[name_m]Erasmus[/name_m]: “I think I’ll pass.”
This would continue for quite a while, as these two are always at each other’s throats.
WWYCS if their friend had a giant spider in their hair?
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u], completely casually: “Ash, you’ve got a massive spider in your hair.”
[name_u]Ash[/name_u], offended: “What? No, I don’t! You can’t trick me that easily!”
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u]: “Okay then, whatever.”
[name_u]Ash[/name_u]: suspicious
Approximately 15 minutes later
[name_u]Ash[/name_u]: “AAAH EEK THERE’S A SPIDER IN MY HAIR WHY IS THERE A SPIDER IN MY HAIR???”
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u], still completely casually: “See, told you so.”
WWYCS if a good friend was about to make a really stupid decision?
[name_f]Via[/name_f] Ulbright: “We’re not doing that.”
[name_u]Perris[/name_u] Greblick: “I’m the boss and I say we are.”
[name_f]Via[/name_f]: “Well, you can go do it. I’ll stay behind and write your will.”
[name_u]Perris[/name_u]: “I am not going to die!”
[name_f]Via[/name_f]: “If you do something stupid, you will.”
WWYCS if a known bad guy offered them something they’ve always wanted in return for their help?
[name_u]Briar[/name_u]: “Explain.”
That’s a direct quote from the writing, actually, she said other things but that was her initial response.
WWYCS if they ran out of good food in the fridge?
In an alternate universe where refrigerators exist during this book.
[name_u]Perris[/name_u] Greblick: “Ack! What is this?! [name_f]Via[/name_f], I thought you where going to get more food!”
[name_f]Via[/name_f] Ulbright: “I am. Tomorrow. We have enough to get us by until then.”
[name_u]Perris[/name_u]: “All that’s in here is green food! I hate green food!”
[name_f]Via[/name_f]: “Well, if I wasn’t busy cleaning up the mess you made, maybe there’d be more food. But, I was busy. All day. If you’re really hungry, you’ll eat what there is.”
[name_u]Perris[/name_u]: “I’d rather starve.”
[name_f]Via[/name_f]: “Okay, then. But you’ll never accomplish your schemes if you do.”
[name_u]Perris[/name_u] (muttering): “Why do we even have green food?! I hate green food!”
[name_f]Via[/name_f] (getting a little annoyed): “Aren’t you a bit old to be throwing a tantrum? I buy the food, I cook the food, and you’d better start appreciating it!”
Eventually, [name_u]Perris[/name_u] would stop complaining because [name_f]Via[/name_f] can be scary when she’s mad. He likes to think he’s the boss, but she is extremely able to get him to do whatever she wants.
WWYCS if their best friend made them dinner, but the food tasted terrible?
[name_u]Briar[/name_u]: “. . . Thanks, [name_u]Juno[/name_u]. This is really. . . interesting.”
WWYCS if they found an old box of childhood photos while cleaning?
[name_f]Inessa[/name_f] - “Oh wow, that is really cool. I don’t remember ever being like this. Hey [name_f]Mama[/name_f], did I ever go through a ___ phase? I found this old picture of me doing (said activity).”
WWYCS if they found out they were pregnant?
Oh, you have an [name_f]Inessa[/name_f] too? That’s cool!
[name_f]Silvy[/name_f]: “Well, crap. How the heck did I get pregnant?”
WWYCS if they caught their partner cheating on them? (we’re getting spicy here, hmm?)
[name_u]Shelby[/name_u] [name_f]Amaya[/name_f] (not that this is ever going to happen, but…): “How could you?! Get out of my sight! Get out of my sight now! I’ll make sure the whole world knows what you did to me, [name_m]Leonard[/name_m]! And I’ll make sure you lose your job and that no one will ever trust you again!”
And she’ll do that, too. Luckily for [name_m]Leonard[/name_m], he would never dream of cheating on her.
WWYCS if they had to break up with their partner to keep them safe?
Oof let’s see
“William, I don’t know you.”
He blinks. “What?”
“I can’t know you, not anymore. Please, don’t make this harder… We can’t be together, she’ll find you and—“ [name_f]My[/name_f] throat closes up and suddenly I find myself choking back tears. [name_u]Will[/name_u] moves to comfort me, but I don’t let him. I pull back and hold up a hand. “We’re only friends now, if that. Understand?”
The look on his face near kills me. “Guin, you can’t mean that. Don’t let her take every bit of happiness from your life—“
“I won’t!” I blurt. “That’s what I’m doing, [name_u]Will[/name_u]. She won’t take you away from me, so we have to stay apart until this is over.”
He sets his jaw. I turn away before he can change my mind. Frozen tears litter the snow in my wake.
WWYCS if they just found out their mother was the real evil villain the entire time? Lol
Oh, that’s happened several times!
[name_u]Salem[/name_u] Schneider: “Mom?! You… This can’t be real! You’re dead! You died when—”
[name_f]Esmeray[/name_f] Schneider: “Where do you think you got your agility from, Zephyr?” [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] is a probably nickname [name_f]Esmeray[/name_f] calls her daughter often.
[name_u]Salem[/name_u]: “But… But…”
[name_f]Esmeray[/name_f]: “But what? Aren’t you happy to see your dear mother?”
[name_u]Salem[/name_u]: “You?! All this time… [name_f]Do[/name_f] you know how much me and my friends suffered?! And you—”
[name_f]Esmeray[/name_f]: “I killed the brute that took your eye, [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]. I never wanted to hurt you—”
[name_u]Salem[/name_u]: “No! Get away! This isn’t about my eye! This is about the lives that you helped take!”
WWYCS if their child suddenly stopped speaking to them?
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]: “Briar, I genuinely don’t know what I did to offend you. Could you at least tell me that?” (generally if it ever says ‘if their child did some weird or crazy thing’ then I assume it’s [name_u]Briar[/name_u] and not Ash)
WWYCS if they were denied admission to a store on false charges of shoplifting?
I love the name [name_f]Inessa[/name_f] too
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] - “Okay then. I’m sorry, but could I talk to a manager, please? I’d like to sort this out, and I’d be glad to figure out who actually did it for you.”
WWYCS if their brother was incessantly banging on their door?
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Babs[/name_f]: “What, Dylan?! Can’t you read the sign?!”
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_f]Babs[/name_f] (who is about five years old): “Emma! Let me in!”
[name_f]Emma[/name_f], opening the door with a sigh: “Of course you can’t read, you little rascal.” She’d then scoop him up and say playfully: “It says no cute little pests allowed.”
WWYCS if their local ice cream parlor was out of their favorite flavor?
[name_u]Ash[/name_u]: “Aw. Okay then, can I have mint chocolate chip?”
WWYCS if they weren’t invited to a friend’s birthday party?
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_u]Hudson[/name_u]: “Knock knock.”
[name_u]Troy[/name_u] [name_m]Sanford[/name_m]: “Silas? It’s midnight, why are you—”
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]: “You forgot me, bro. You said you’d invite me to your birthday party and you didn’t.”
[name_u]Troy[/name_u]: “What? [name_f]Marcy[/name_f] planned a surprise party, so I didn’t know about it until the last minute. She said she told you?”
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]: “Nope. Unless…” Scrolls through the dozens of notifications on his very disorganized phone. “Darn! I missed her call! Sorry, bro.”
[name_u]Troy[/name_u]: “See, we’d never forget you. How about you come over tomorrow? There’s tons of cake left and we can have another party.”
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]: “Great! I’ll be there!”
WWYCS if their dog ran away?
[name_f]Arianwen[/name_f] Reyenna (in the event that she has acquired the puppy she decided to get in WYCR): “Sylvie! Come back! Where the swearword did you go?”
WWYCS if their YouTube video flopped?
