Thirty Sentences-Margaret Moonlight

1. Paper
No matter how many times she put a pen to paper, Margaret Moonlight could never quite describe to her older sister Alice just how her life had changed since the game had ended.
2. Friendship
Margaret would often watch a Sweet Lolita or a Singaporean punk decimate all life before them and wonder how she managed to acquire friends such as these.
3. Robots
"Perverted philistine." Margaret grumbled, watching the sliced and twitching remains of one the Destroyman halves.
4. Slave
As free as she may have seemed, The Reaper knew she would always be a slave to the souls she fed from and the killing she lived for.
5. Pineapple
Margaret nibbled the end of a pineapple slice from her cocktail and wondered quietly how anyone, including her closest friends, could be addicted to such a disgusting, unhealthy poison as alcohol.
6. Faults
Staring at the sidewalk made Margaret realize that the ground had as many cracks and faults as those whose feet stepped upon it.
7. Questions
Margaret never asked other assassins about their pasts for the sole reason she feared they would return the favor.
8. World
"If all the world's best assassins come here, then is the rest of the world devoid of murder, or is it simply sloppy, brutish and lacking in personality?"
9. Lions
The UAA was like a pride to Margaret, with the young and fit lionesses running around killing and bringing the goods to the lazy and sultry head lion with a French accent.
10. Purple
"How funny it is that you hide your face in the color of mystery." She said to herself, feeling the surprisingly soft material of Letz Shake's discarded mask while he watched from a distance, wondering about his strange new roommate.
11. Trouble
Margaret brought the UAA to the agreement that if trouble had a name, it would most defiantly be 'Sylvia'.
12. Freedom
Whenever she fell from great heights, Margaret would wait to the last moment to teleport to safety, because the sensation of flying made her feel freer than she ever had before.
13. Mints
"You know Ms. Moonlight, I'm so rich I own the ground you walk on." "Wonderful, Mr. Batt, perhaps you could invest some of that money on a few packs of breath-mints."
14. Time
When the clock struck midnight, Margaret knew it was the time for the otaku to make his entrance and for her moment of stardom as the 11th boss of 'Desperate Struggle' to begin.
15. Morning
Every morning, Margaret would get up, brush her teeth, shower and dress herself in her Gothic Lolita attire, then pray to Heaven for herself and her comrades.
16. Raccoon
"Look little sis, I found this thing crawling around in the upstairs bathtub!" "…I'm keeping him." "…What?"
17. Teeth
Few things disturbed the Grim Reaper more than when she realized what Chloe Walsh may have meant when she said that, "Every rose has its thorns."
18. Smile
"Vone day, I vould like to see you smiling vithout the makeup." "That will be the day I see you smile without your mask."
19. Music
Most called it 'her song', The Helter-Skelter brothers the 'Moon's Serenade', Bad Girl the 'Death Tune', Letz Shake the 'Melody of the Damned' and Margaret simply referred to it as 'Philistine' or 'The Song of My Soul'.
20. Gentle
"Don't vorry, fraulein…for you, I promise to be fery gentle." The drunken punk slurred smiling and caressing the soft, flushed face of a flustered Lolita who wasn't sure whether to push away or draw closer.
21. Tears
Every so often, when she knew no one was home, Margaret would sit on her bed with the lights off and let the bottled-up bitterness drip down her face.
22. Sorry
"It may take work, but there's a few things we need to work on with you." "I'm sorry, big sis…." "The first of which being to teach you to stop apologizing for things that are not and never will be your fault."
23. Sin
Just because the Reaper came for sinners never once meant she wasn't one herself.
24. Righteous
Margaret found it difficult to be religious when she broke the Sixth Commandment constantly.
25. Censored
The things that transpired when Margaret and Letz Shake dragged a drunken Bad Girl home were often never spoken of again.
26. Lady
It never ceased to amaze people how such a ruthless Grim Reaper could be so polite and pleasant during conversation.
27. Fight
There were few things she fought for and one of them was to spill the scarlet blood of the damned across the night.
28. Light
The moment a young Margaret first saw a full moon shine through a dirty window was the moment she found the lyrics for the tune so close to her heart.
29. Party
Margaret had become so used to her roommates' house parties that she could tell what sort of drink each person had had depending on who was passed out on the couch, who was hanging from the ceiling fan and who thought they were pregnant.
30. Laughter
Whenever she shared a good laugh with her roommates, Margaret Moonlight would realize that, although she couldn't describe all of the changes moving her forward in her dark life, she knew for certain that she would never go back, not for all the LBs and souls in Santa Destroy.
I saw this structure in a story over on fanfiction.net and decided to try it. I found it really fun and I'd like to do it again.

Basically, I took thirty random words and wrote one sentence or a short back-and-forth of dialogue about Margaret that pertained to it. This one was originally going to be about Letz Shake, but I figured the titles fit Margaret more. He'll be next. :evillaugh:

Few notes:
Yes, 17 is a reference to the film, "Teeth."
24 refers to the Sixth Commandment in the Old Testament, which states "Thou shalt not kill." Thank you ever so much ~fedoraStorm for correcting me.
