Kali spins on her heel, beaming in recognition at the source of the voice.

“You seem excited-“ she starts, before her gaze falls to the small object in Vee’s hand, a small squeal escaping her lips as she processes her words and what she’s looking at. “Ohmygoodness it’s so tiny! Ahhh, he’s gonna love it so much!”

Her grin widens as she looks back up at her colleague, accepting the miniature accessory into her palm. “Thank you, this was super sweet. You know I’m gonna have to repay you now, right?”

"kali! kali!" vee waves her arm at @kalisthenics, jogging to catch up to her fellow hunter. from her pocket, she retrieves a very, very tiny top hat and offers it out to her. "i saw this for a little doll at a yard sale yesterday. i thought you might like it for theo?"

ㅤㅤ🎥ㅤTHE MUMMY (1999) – a collection of dialogues from ㅤㅤㅤㅤthe film. please change pronouns and verbiage as needed.

but for our love, we were willing to risk life itself.

you must go. save yourself.

only you can resurrect me.

but for my love of ___ i was willing to defy the gods.

i knew this was gonna be a lousy day.

personally, i would like to surrender. why can we not just surrender?

then let's run away. right now. while we can still make it.

give me frogs, flies, locusts, anything but this!

you are a catastrophe!  why do i put up with you?

have you no respect for the dead?

i think you found something.

i've already dated it, this map is almost four thousand years old.

my dear girl, don't be ridiculous. we are scholars, not treasure hunters.

you burned it! you burned off the part with the lost city!

i lie to everybody, what makes you so special?

i tremble with anticipation.

how do we know that's not a load of pig swallow?

i found sand. i saw death.

could you tell me how to get there? the exact location?

for all the money we're paying you, something better goddamned well be under that sand.

personally, i think he's filthy, rude and a complete scoundrel. i don't like him one bit.

smashing day for the start of an adventure, eh, ___?

can you look me in the eye, and guarantee me this is not some sort of flimflam?

i have come to protect my investment, thank you very much.

i only gamble with my life, never my money.

what makes you so confident, sir?

the only thing that scares me, ___, are your manners.

still angry that i kissed ya, huh?

did i miss something? are we going into battle?

the last time i was at that place everybody i was with died.

and the fact that they say it's made out of pure gold, makes no nevermind to you, right?

by the way ... why did you kiss me?

i was about to be hanged, seemed like a good idea at the time.

why if it ain't my little buddy, ___. i outta kill you.

so what's the scam? you get 'em out in the middle of the desert then leave 'em to rot?

the devil himself lives out there.

i am going to kill you for this!

never did like camels. filthy buggers. they smell, they bite, they spit. disgusting.

what in bloody hell is this?

do you realize, we are standing inside a room that no one has entered in over four thousand years.

you're welcome to my share of the spider webs.

and it stinks to high heaven in here.

mummies, my good son. this is where they made the mummies.

let's be nice, children, if we're going to play together, we must learn to share.

we'll sneak up and steal that book right out from under them.

i say, what's our smelly little friend got himself up to?

oh my god ... it looks like … it looks like a sarcophagus.

salt acid. pressurized salt acid. some sort of ancient booby-trap.

no. i believe if i can see it and i can touch it, then it's real. that's what i believe.

i say, bloody good show.

i know, you're wondering, what's a place like me doing in a girl like this?

i may not be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a treasure hunter, or a gunfighter! but i'm proud of what i am.

don't blame me, i don't even remember being there.

there is a curse upon this chest.

“death will come on swift wings to whomever opens this chest.”

it says, there is one, the undead. who if brought back to life – is bound by sacred law to consummate this curse.

the curse … beware the curse!

i've never seen a mummy look like this.

oh my god, he was buried alive and he left a message.

it says: death is only the beginning.

in all of my research, i've never read of this curse actually having been performed.

you sure you outta be playin, around with that?

it's just a book, no harm ever came from a book.

would you quit playing, around? let's get outta here already!

i told you to leave or die, you refused, and now you may have killed us all. for you have unleashed the creature that we have feared for more than four thousand years.

no mortal weapons can kill this creature. he is not of this world.

i may have use for you.  and the rewards will be great.

we must now hunt him down, and try and find a way to kill him, before he consumes the earth.

know this, the creature will be coming for you.

i thought you didn't believe in this stuff?

that's what i am to you? a contract?

ya little stinkweed, where did you slink off to?

yeah, well, we all got our little problems today don't we?

we are in serious trouble.

you saved me from the undead.

there's only one person I know who can possibly give us some answers.

i'm willing to go on a little faith here.

and you think this justifies killing innocent people!?

the creature must first try and regenerate, and then he will attempt to resurrect the one he has loved for more than four thousand years.

he has chosen you to be-the human sacrifice needed to regenerate the body of ___.

who put you in charge? you can't just leave me behind like some old suitcase. 

i'm the one responsible for this mess and i intend to be the one to clean it up.

it is better to be the right hand of the devil ... than in his path. as long as i serve him, i am immune.

what are you looking for? lie and i'll slit your throat.

that looked rather painful.

ya know, ever since i met you, my luck has been for crap.

i think you were jealous.

you think it'll send this guy back to hell?

it has begun. the beginning of the end.

don't tell me we gotta go back out there?

you better think of something, because if he turns me into a mummy, you're the first one i'm coming after.

be calm. there is still time.

is it dangerous?

everybody else we've bumped into has died, why not you?

from now on, don't touch anything. not a damn thing.

they are evil, cursed, they matter not.

oh, come on, gimme a break here.

 open the book! that's the only way to kill him!

well ... i guess we go home empty handed.

wouldn't say that.

First Meetings Sentences, Vol. 1

(Sentences for muses meeting for the first time. Adjust phrasing where needed)

"I've heard good things about you."

"Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you?"

"Do you always talk so much?"

"May I ask your advice on something?"

"I've not seen you here before. Who are you?"

"I like you. You're refreshingly direct."

"Need a hand?"

"I'm not like the others. I'm excited that you're here."

"Is this what they call love at first sight?"

"I've been introduced to everyone here except you."

"Are you doing anything tonight?"

"You are everything I thought you'd be."

"Oh, I know about you. I've checked you out."

"We've got to stop meeting like this."

"Would you like a drink?"

"Do you mind if I smoke?"

"How do you know my name?"

"You know, you're exactly as I imagined you."

"What's your name? I might have heard of you."

"I don't mean to intrude, but you seem to have something weighing heavily on you."

"Have we met before?"

"You never asked me my name. That's not very polite."

"Are you the one that everyone speaks about?"

"Could you take a picture of me?"

"Have you got a name at all?"

Kali’s hands worked diligently, lip bitten slightly in concentration, wincing slightly under her own breath at each sign of discomfort Maeve let out. Her brows furrowed immediately at the other woman’s words and Kali’s gaze shot up to meet hers in irritation.

“When is it ever ‘just a scratch’ with you?”

Her fingers move with practiced ease, far too used to this routine by now. But Maeve’s next words make her pause, a soft huff of air escaping her nostrils, a not-quite laugh.

“You drive me crazy sometimes, y’know that?” There’s a note of obvious fondness under the frustration. “What’s your plan for if my 24/7 First Aid service isn’t available?”

[ wounded ] sender patches up receiver's wounds

Whenever Maeve gets injured, she is a grumbling cat, the insistent “I’m fine, I’ll be fine” never cuts it for Kali, and she knew this well, but still — she insisted. 

“Kali, I’m fine, I promise — it’s just a scratch!” 

Except it wasn’t, and if it weren’t for the female patching up Maeve’s wounds, she’d have lost a little more blood than necessary. She sighed and watched as the female continued her work. 

“Worth it, though. As long as you don't get hurt.” And she knew she’d get a smack or a look from her, but Maeve didn’t care, a chuckle emitting from her. Those that knew Maeve would know how reckless she can be.

non-verbal angst prompts

“Oh, don’t even. It’s not about the money, Vee, it’s the principle. Plus you were getting those pics regardless, so those don’t count.”

Kali grins as she places a hand on her hip, playfully winking at her as she gingerly places the tiny hat in a free compartment in her handbag.

“At least let me pay for a pastry or something,” she says as her smile widens. “Theo would insist.”

Kali spins on her heel, beaming in recognition at the source of the voice.

“You seem excited-“ she starts, before her gaze falls to the small object in Vee’s hand, a small squeal escaping her lips as she processes her words and what she’s looking at. “Ohmygoodness it’s so tiny! Ahhh, he’s gonna love it so much!”

Her grin widens as she looks back up at her colleague, accepting the miniature accessory into her palm. “Thank you, this was super sweet. You know I’m gonna have to repay you now, right?”
