lines from the adventure zone balance campaign that fuck me up:
Griffin, when Taako drinks Junior’s ichor and regains his memories: Taako, you remember Lup now, of course! How could you forget Lup? Those memories that you had in the Chalice of your lonely childhood, of you just out on the road, just fighting for survival, there was something there that you couldn’t quite perceive. Some… some static. It was Lup! It was your sister, out there with you on the road, outcast but never alone.
Magnus, to sheriff Isaak: What if you didn’t have to worry and you could just cut out the bullshit and do good recklessly?
Lup, to Taako about her and Barry becoming liches: I love him, Taako, with all of my heart, but you…I needed a day from you, because you are my heart. You know that, right?
Griffin, about Lucretia’s years alone: Few people who have lived have ever experienced such loneliness, such hopelessness.
Griffin, just before the final battle with The Hunger: See, there’s magic in a bard’s song. They call it inspiration, and it tells the listener what they need to hear right when they need to hear it. And right now, you hear it too. The message in the music heard round the world. You hear Johann’s voice, telling you: “You’re going to have to fight. And… you’re gonna win!”
Griffin, about the last time Taako saw Lup: When someone leaves your life, those exits are not made equal. Some are beautiful and poetic and satisfying. Others are abrupt and unfair. But most are just unremarkable, unintentional, clumsy.
Griffin, about Lucretia trying to find a new life for Taako after the voidfish erased his memories: Taako, she struggled to find you a place to fit in, because- what home is good enough for Taako? The answer was: there isn’t one. Everyone in the world deserved to be around you, Taako, to see what you do, what you’re capable of. And you deserve it too, Taako, to be recognized, to be admired by every living person you ever encounter. She finds you a stagecoach, a supplier, an audience. You’re Taako, from TV! And you are so, so loved.
Taako: “Sometimes there aren’t good decisions. Sometimes there’s just decisions.”
Istus: You’re going to be amazing.
Griffin, when Lup returns: When the light fades, the column and the shadowy beings who climbed out of it are gone. Hovering where it once stood is Lup, phantasmal and resplendent, her outstretched palms still coated in flame. And as this lich turns towards you, Taako, you hear your sister’s voice say- “You’re dating the Grim Reaper?!
