Using the lines
- Roleplayers: drop a line into chat to set the tone, or ask the persona to riff in this register.
- Writers: the lines are dialogue-ready; the labels travel with them — keep the “fan-written” tag when you reuse them.
- Everyone: if the owner ever publishes official lines, these get retired to an archive. That’s the deal (see methodology).
Source notes
