I'm At Loss Of Words....not Even Thirsty, - PARCHED!! ON FIRE!!! That Was So Intimate And H O T

thinking about monstrosities and tenderness

How do we start each character's pathways, guard v/civ v and Ravens therapy/ further descent, are we told specifically which route we are going to start?

The first instance of choosing the RO paths comes in the first date scene at the end of the current demo, labeled as Key Decisions.

I don't label the choices specifically, but I make their direction as self-explanatory as I possibly can haha

I kinda like drawing maws

Thank you, Lu, I'll punch myself now for making me cry. WTF I WAS THINKING ASKING THAT QUESTION.

The angst- the pain- IT'S SO SCRUMPTIOUS, WONDERFUL, AMAZING. I'm a mess

C-can we have an angsty time? 😿 What if MC is soon to be ceased and in their last moment they confess their love, barely able to touch RO, as their form just sizzling away in, well, nothing. MC kisses RO for the first and last time and disappears right before the eyes without interrupting eye contact

A: As if losing you once wasn't painful enough, now they had to experience that pain again. And this time, it would be forever, with no return. They tried to reach out to you, feel your touch for the last time...but it felt unreal. You were disappearing into millions of nothing and when they tried to say something, anything, you interrupted them. "I love you" the words are bittersweet, they wanted you to return that feeling, but now it just felt like another fuel for the pain. And when you kissed them, for the first and last time, they welcomed the pain as a gift.

S: They can't survive this again. They've seen you leave more times than bearable...but there was always a way, this time however, things were different. You would never return to them. And if you weren't coming back, they didn't have to stay here. They try to get as close to you as possible, feeling your aura, your energy...."I love you." You say as they make their own confession, that's not a real surprise but they can't help but be amazed at how comforting it is. Their kiss tastes like tears, but they don't care, these aren't just tears of sadness.

Bo: She should be the one to be comforting you. But instead, she's the one being comforted, feeling what's left of you hugging her as you say everything will be okay. "Please, please don't go." She begs you, she has never begged for anything before, not even for life itself. But there's nothing you can do and she knows it..."I love you." You say as she tries to hold on to you even more, futilely, you lean over and kiss her briefly before fading away. And even later when you can no longer hear, she keeps begging for you. 

Kyle: He knew you would be the end of him. But he never imagined it would hurt so much to care about you. Seeing you disappear in front of his eyes was always his worst nightmare and it became real. So real. "Kyle" you call out to him, feeling his hands squeeze you tightly, as if they could keep you from disappearing. "I do not want to know". He cuts off roughly. "But you already know, you know I love you." He holds you tighter but you can't feel his touch anymore and he feels it, letting out an agonized sound. "I will never forgive you for making me love you." He whispers before you interrupt him with a kiss. The first and last kiss in a story that will never happen. 

🔐They don't say anything. All they do is hug you and keep from letting out any emotion. They care about you and you are dying, again and forever. There's nothing they can do to stop it, for the first time in their long existence, they're not enough. "I love you." You say suddenly, and they feel you start to fade faster and faster. "You love me too?" You ask already knowing the answer, of course. "I wish I didn't love you." They respond by looking at you with frustration and barely concealed sadness. You smile, to their dismay, and kiss them and it's what they expected it to be: Soft, sweet and loving. As you disappear, an absolute certainty grows within them. That was the first and the last time they allowed themselves to love. 

My friends bully me on a daily basis

To all of u, who stumbled upon me

Also I really thought I saw a lot of weird things but knowing that the coroner around where I am actually stuffed a skull full of confetti after removing the brain (which i unfortunately learned while embalming) is probably top tier and I'm gonna apply it to all of my games

The Students of Ehrenreich - Part One

The Potential RO’s (AKA the students who can crush on the MC)

Vitalius Ornstein/Astasus Ehrenreich:

Human Male, 9 - The stolen and presumed dead prince of the human Ornstein Empire, Astasus is the original Carmine’s love interest, and the source of her demise; in the first book, through his heroic deeds he managed to bring the Ehrenreich Organization to its knees. Now, he is but a boy caught in the plot of the story you know, eager to please and determined to have your back no matter what. 

Eratine Ehrenreich:

Male Blood Elf, 11 - Among the first to die originally, Eratine is a snarky and abrasive brat determined to make your nightmarish life in Ehrenreich all the worse. The second he lays eyes on you he hates you, though he doesn’t seem to get along well with his other classmates either. Still, when you need him most he will do his best to rise to the occasion and his constant nagging seems to be a cover for the very real concern he holds for the others. 

Bernadine Ehrenreich:

Female Electra, 12 - Bernadine is a quiet and observant genius who always keeps to herself. Using her inborn abilities to handle and use tech, Bernadine spends her days skipping class and experimenting in her room. The others avoid her and she goes out of her way to avoid them - she has plans, and the other students would only get in the way.

Brigid Ehrenreich:

Female Fae, 11 - Upon learning that her iridescent eyes link her to fae royalty, Brigid will only respond to the name she chose from the historical records of Theun: Princess Hesychia Meloda Ionnina. She’s haughty and high strung, believing that her placement in Ehrenreich is some mistake, and that any day now she’ll be taken to the Theun Organization: Libraria. Believing it to be her ‘noble’ duty, she’s the first to help you when you need it and the first to hide behind you when danger approaches. 

Miki-Tane Ehrenreich

Male Xidhe, 12 - Despite his academic genius, Miki is always looking to have fun, often at the expense of others. He’s the first to chant: “Fight!” when fists fly, and he’s the first one blamed when Eratine wakes up with scribbles on his face. Still, when things go bump in the night he’s the one baring the door and when the others are in danger he’s the first to step in front of them. 

Diacinth Ehrenreich

Male High Elf, 10 - In the original book, Diacinth was the last of the other students to die - his constant use of invisibility charms and hatred of talking meant he was able to outlast most. He’s painfully shy, though you’d need to be able to see him first to try and start a conversation. He doesn’t sleep in his bed, opting to sleep underneath it, and the few times you catch him unawares he runs away. Still, when you need a pencil sharpener or an eraser, one will magically appear on your desk where the wasn’t one before. 

Nonnatus Ehrenreich

Human Male, 10 - Nonnatus wasn’t raised in the church; abused and neglected by a cruel merchant for his powers, he sees the Church as his saviour. Despite the danger lurking around every corner, he refuses to believe the Church or the teachers are behind it. Fiercely loyal and determined to turn a blind eye to all the horrors Ehrenreich has to offer, he sees the others as doubters in the Church’s majesty, you included, and antagonizes them at all costs.

Hey there , love your work, the romance scenes in your work are so pure and go straight into the heart. I was wondering how Ilzurus looks in her Dragon form ? Also what is the nicest way to let Thea/Theo down to pursue other ROs. ?...(T is a lovely chracter)

Thank you, you're a sweetheart!

Okay, so I'll give this under the cut, so the ones that don't want to get spoiled about this can scroll over.

Ilzrus is around 65 feet tall in their dragon form. They are slender and agile even in their dragon form and they rely on speed in battle. Their scales are slivery-white, but the iridescent glow (that's evident in their human form underneath their skin) is accentuated in their dragon form. Their horns and spade are a slightly darker shade than the scales and their eyes are sepent like and golden. They don't breathe fire, but they can use magic.

The best way to remain just best friends with T is to choose "We're just friends and they know that, why would they ask me this?", during the dinner in chapter two. If you do that, the route you'll go on is that of bff but nothing more.
