Misplaced

Misplaced is a fantasy romance interactive fiction WIP, wherein your choices not only determine your own fate, but that of an entire kingdom. Let me take you an adventure filled with both whimsy and tragedy alike.

The current demo goes up to the end of Chapter 3, available here: https://calliopefiction.itch.io/misplaced

The Story:

For decades, the human kingdom of Gaiapeia has been fighting against the fae living in the surrounding lands. How this conflict started depends entirely on who you ask.

You are the child of Lady and Sir Grahm, a noble familiy who has been serving the crown for generations. Eager to follow in your father's footsteps, you have been training for years to become a knight worthy of being Prince Az'Lean's Champion - his right hand, his closest confidant, the one who protects his life from the growing danger of the fae.

When the time finally comes and you are chosen for the position, it's a dream come true. You couldn't be happier. But just one day later, on your 21st birthday, a terrible truth is revealed to you.

You are a changeling - a fae child that was smuggled into a human family with only one purpose: to gain the prince's trust and use it against him.

A war between humans and fae is surely brewing and the outcome depends entirely on you.

Features:

Customize the appearance of your MC, play as non-binary, female, or male and romance whoever you like however you like, including the choice for asexual or queer-platonic relationships.

Enjoy the story without having to worry about stats - you will be a competent knight no matter what. There is no failure or success, only different choices and their outcomes.

Shape your personality, and your trustworthiness, with your actions. Other characters' disposition to you will change depending on how they perceive you.

Pick a side early on, play the long con, or refuse to make a choice at all. There are multiple split paths that will feature the same romancable characters - but their relationship to you might vary greatly (including villain romances).

Romance:

Vynn (nb):

Vynn is one of your fellow knights and a long-time friend. Unlike you they aren't a knight by choice and don't care much for fighting. You get the feeling they'd much rather be a bard if they could, seeing as they love playing the lute, spinning epic tales and generally being a source of levity. They are fiercely loyal and good-natured, though there is that bit of resentment that will never quite leave their heart.

Prince Az'Lean (m):

Az'Lean is your prince, the one you are sworn to protect. On first glance, he is the very picture of a fairytale prince: charming, chivalrous, and powerful. He is an excellent fighter, loves animals, and prefers to be treated like an equal. Anyone who cares to look will soon notice the darkness lurking beneath that shining exterior, festering ever since the death of his mother.

Lady Meave (f):

Maeve is a powerful dryad who was sent to educate you on the ways of the fae. She is usually playful and soft, though her patience tends to run short. As much as she cares about decorum and courtly things, she finds joy in the simplest things and easily turns into a giggly mess. For all her humour, you can never quite tell if she is being serious. Sometimes it feels like she's just playing with you.

Thianne (f):

Thianne is a sorceress and one of Az'Lean's most trusted advisors. She is intelligent and hard-working, though sometimes at the expense of her own well-being. Although she comes across as abrasive and rude, she is always willing to help those who need it. Her dry sense of humour and brutal honesty have endeared her to just as many people as they have made her enemies.

Lester (m):

Lester is a half-fae servant, working in the castle. As with most half-fae, his presence isn't entirely welcome and his reasons for being here seem complexer than he lets on. Lester is known for his mischief and his crude humour, often pulling pranks that border on malicious. Despite the way he presents himself as laid-back and uncaring, it's clear that there's a lot he isn't opeing up about.

Warnings:

This story contains potentially triggering content. There will be graphic depictions of violence, death, discrimination, body-image issues and mental illness (including panic attacks, suicidal thoughts and paranoia). Discretion is advised.

The Elementalist Chronicles: Isle of Rune is an interactive game inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender. *insert theme song*

Genre: Low Fantasy, Elementalists, Time Travel, Slice of Life (kind of)

Setting: California (very briefly), The Secret Isles (Pacific Ocean)

There is currently no age rating for this game.

No nsfw asks please <3

PLOT

Your time on the Secret Isles have become a distant memory. It’s been about 10 years since your parents divorced and your mother moved you to California. The Good: California has great weather. The Bad: You can’t practice your bending as freely.

Mikayla loves Cali, so it comes as a complete surprise when she presents the idea of moving to the Isles once again. Your mother has no powers. Not to mention, her job and friends are in Cali. This move isn’t for her, it’s for you. It becomes clearer when she suggests that you train in the adult program of the elemental school. The master plan: getting you to reconnect with your father. Who just so happens to be the Headmaster of the Rune Elemental School.

Going back to the Isles means you will see the people you have not seen since childhood. Including your old best friend, Cameron, whom you have not been in communication with for quite some time. In your absence, Cameron has found a new friend. Jess isn’t really warm towards strangers. And you are a stranger, even if these Isles were your stomping grounds first.

Like it or not, a ton has changed. Tread carefully, explore with caution. Some roads may lead to different places and different times. It won’t do anyone any good if you go back hundreds of years… Your mother’s plan might go down the drain. You might find yourself stuck. You might find the masters you had only read about in books standing right in front of you.

Come along young elementalist, the Isles await you.

FEATURES

Customize your character: name, surname, gender, pronouns, description.

Choose a pet (kitten, puppy, snake, turtle)

Choose a hobby (hanging out with your pet, surfing, painting, reading, biking, chess) [hobbies may change]

Choose your element (water, air, fire, earth) & your birthplace (one of the Isles).

Explore the Secret Isles: The Isle of Rune, The Isle of Wind, The Isle of Ember, The Isle of Tides, The Isle of Sand (is sometimes called The Isle of Gems). And choose which one you want to live on.

Travel back in time.

Stay in the past with the four masters or find a way back to the present.

Get to know the people and grow a bond with them… or don’t.

Train and become a better elementalist.

Possibly witness how the four grand masters became who they are and how they founded the elemental school.

Or just chill and be a couch potato.

Main Characters

Cameron | Non-Elementalist | History Student

Cameron was born to an elementalist family but he himself has no powers. He used to be your childhood friend. As a child he was kind and rather shy. His shyness never stopped him from going after whatever piqued his curiousity. An intelligent and compasionate young man. You have not seen Cameron since you were 14. How will he react when you show up on the isles once again? Will you be greeted by the same gentle soul or will you meet a new Cameron?

A Short Description of Cameron: He has a tawny skin tone, topaz eyes, and ear-length light brown wavy hair. His height is 5'10 (180cm). He has a slender figure.

Jess | Non-Elementalist | Architect-Artist

Jess moved to the isles shortly after you left. He's been Cameron's closest friend ever since. Part of the reason why they became close is that they are both non-elementalists who were born to elemental families. Unlike Cameron, Jess struggled more with this fact because his family valued him less for his lack of powers. He is a loyal friend and a brave man. Perhaps a little reckless. He is clever and confident in his abilities.

A Short Description of Jess: He has a light skin tone, gray eyes, and dark brown hair that is slightly wavy and is slightly longer than shoulder-length. His height is 6'2 (187cm). He has a lean figure.

Jace | Master of Earth

Jace is one of the four founders of the Rune Elemental School.

A Short Description of Jace: He has sun-kissed skin, hazel eyes, and wavy-curly brown hair that is slightly longer than ear-length. His height is 6 feet (183cm). He has a slightly muscular build.

Lahela | Master of Water

Lahela is one of the four founders of the Rune Elemental School.

A Short Description of Lahela: She has golden bronze skin, dark brown eyes, and straight chest-length soft black hair. Her height is 5'5 (164cm). She is slightly curvy.

Sierra | Master of Fire

Sierra is one of the four founders of the Rune Elemental School.

A Short Description of Sierra: She has brown skin, light brown eyes, and curly-wavy dark brown hair that ends mid-back. Her height is 5'8 (175cm). She is slender and toned.

Ariel | Master of Air

Ariel is one of the four founders of the Rune Elemental School.

A Short Description of Ariel: She has beige skin, sky blue eyes, and long wavy blonde hair with wispy bangs. Her height is 5'6 (166cm).

Side Characters

Atticus | Current Headmaster of R.E.S. | Elementalist | MC's father

Mikayla | Non-Elementalist | MC's mother

Mary and Brutus | An old couple from the past

Arista | A young elementalist girl from the past

But Velantis holds more than you bargained for.

POST UPDATED: 06.10.2023

woo cool powers for the gang!!

this project looks so good so far!! I do have to ask what are everyones affinities (all the main ros i mean)?

thank u so much for the nice words ! of course,

Martin: Fire with sub-affinity lightning and Dark with sub-affinity shadows.

Demetra: Air with sub-affinity wind and Dark with sub-affinity manipulation.

Evander: Void with sub-affinity speed.

Harley: Air with sub-affinity sound and Light.

Echo: Void with sub-affinity abyss and Dark, which is a very rare and powerful combo.

Dominic: Water and Earth with sub-affinity nature.

🥺I love echo, your honour. Pls may I have some crumbs about her? Can't wait for my shy MC to be absolutely smitten by her 🙂

awwww thats so cute !!! i also cant wait for yall to meet her + all the ROs <33

Here's some Echo crumbs 🤲

She should technically wear glasses, but she never does, not even contacts.

Even though she's very shy, she's never had problems with making friends; people seem to always approach her, usually 'cause they think she looks cool or attractive (but mostly both).

She found out about Magici from a random dude who randomly ran up to her and asked for an autograph (and prolly a kiss) 'cause he thought she was Cara, a contestant from Magici's first season with a huge fanbase. Her reaction was just "Who? From what?", totally clueless about it lmfao.

She has an unhealthy obsession with brie.

She really really loves reading romance webtoons, her favourite is Insol's Law.

She is Croatian and English.

She has like 500 hobbies; crocheting, playing bass, knitting, writing, painting, etc etc... The list is never ending and she somehow manages to do all that consistently.

She has the most random dream jobs ever, like she'll have a week-long phase where all she does is research how to become a train conductor.

Her affinity combo means she can become basically invisible when it's dark, though not for long.

She makes an amazing burek, her cheese one is scrumptious.

THE DEMO/[Google Forum.]

|The world around you has gone quiet as snow covers it with a white blanket, singing it to sleep. Your palm tingle, and your dazed eyes twinkle with the reflected light of grains of flickering purple. It seeps through your fingertips and enlighten the darkness engulfing you.

Fate has chosen. A Witch. That's who you are.|

Trigger warning: This game is written with a mature audience in mind, for containing mention/depiction of death, blood, violence, abuse, childhood trauma and sexual themes.

SYPONISIS:

You were made to feel like a monster your entire life. How could it ever be fair?

You were aware of it since your childhood. How could you not when you were sent to an Academy just to explore your identity as a Witch, a mutated human or a Mystic. Maybe both or neither.

How was it? knowing you. That you were one of many, but none at the same time.

You ran away that day. Never looking back for once. You ran as fast as your feet could take you, and it haunts you to this day. It is a race with time, with nightmares and sufferings. It was a race you could never win.

But then... You were back. Because who dares defy them.

That very cursed fate of yours acquired you an audience with The Crown. You returned to them with your own two feets.

The Crown has spoken.

A single sentence, knowledge. A fact that was so simply stated you were pinned to your spot. A gold coated letter and a luxurious pretty title changed everything in your life. Forever.

A request? No. An order. Is it a curse? Or an opportunity?

Choose, Witch.

FEATURES:

ꕥ ​Customise your MC: You're given the chance to customis​​e your Character from [Name, Appearance, personality, skills to purpose]. Includes:

Customizable personality system: Your Witch can be sarcastic with a sharp tongue, stoic with a soft heart, playful but secretive or as cold as a winter storm.

What type of witch are you: This feature allows you to wear the world as a ring on your small finger. To be their darkest nightmare? Or maybe, the sacrificial sheep, or are you the wolf in sheep's clothing? Play it your way.

Witch's Skill System: From Intelligence, Agility, Vigour to Perception. These skills open up many different doors, outcomes, and options for your witch. And whether it succeeds or fails, it may tell you about secrets you did not take into account.

Customizable appearance: Customise your Witchfrom head to toe, includes but is not limited to; height, unique features, tattoos.

The Witch's purpose: You're playing a dangerous game, but you're not who started it. What purpose do you have to survive it all?

ꕥ​ Face the consequences of your choices: Be careful, or don't. In both cases, the decision is in your hands, and the consequences are yours to bear. So what path will you draw for yourself?

ꕥ​ Romance one of four different ROs: Two mysterious strangers, a florist or maybe someone you never wished to see again.

​ꕥ​Influence others' fates as much as they do yours: Develop your relationship with others. Or use them to achieve your motive. Your decisions and every step you take affects those around you as much as it affects you. Would you care?​

ꕥThe wise Elders are ambiguous: Explore this world and find the secrets it holds and behold.

ꕥ​Take in a little apprentice to succeed you.

ꕥVengeance. Deceit. Betrayal. Treason: It is blood for blood? How will you face the world that burned you alive?

ꕥYou don't fit anywhere, or maybe it's that you belong everywhere: Choose on your own, Humans or Mystics. Which side will you support?

[ROMANCES][MORE DETAILS IN GAME PROFILE]

RAEL GOVIATT: [M]

 [Isn't it curious? Do you want to flip and see the other face of the coin?]

TRAITS:  Mischievous, Ambitious, Brilliant and Patient.

ABOUT: People say Rael have a bit of a dual personality. His friendly but mysterious persona makes them lower their guard around him. Though, he never shows or tells the real attention behind anything he does, even if it looks foolish to others.

Rael appears to be always amused by something. He flashes a disarming winning smile that lightens his whole face but his untelling eyes.

[You are killing me, and you are keeping me from dying.]

ANWAR HAYFAR. [F/M]

[Eternal chaos and internal chaos are distinct from each other. But I seem to attract both.]

TRAIT:  Reserved, Tolerant, Idealistic and Secretive.

ABOUT: Quiet and unassuming. Anwar is a think before you act, type of person. They prefer to live in peace and away from politics or petty matters of the wealthy. But they are not that simple, as this florist may throw their guise and strike if pricked from the wrong side.

[And if a hundred loved you, they will only love you a drop compared to my ocean.]

HELIA [REDACTED] [F/M]

[Quit. Broke. Died. And made it through it all.]

TRAITS:  Observant, Practical, Indifferent and Stubborn.

ABOUT: Helia's cold and indifferent appearance can be deceptive, despite being part of his truth.

A common first impression of Helia is a mixture of intimidation, intrigue and a sense of stability. They have an imposing aura and the kind of demeanour that demands attention in every room, with otherworldly elegance and grace.

[It's the same rain I loved that drowned me.]

YASIR [REDACTED] [M]

[Either find a way or be prepared to bleed and make one.]

TRAIT:  Charming, Ambitious, Assertive and Inquisitive.

ABOUT:  Yasir is a calculating and cool-headed person. And while Yasir can be materialistic, his love for money is not sacred, but it is definitely up there on his values list.

Yasir is authoritative and demanding, especially of his subjects. He also prefers to rule with an iron hand, which may surprise people who have not seen him in action.

[I have passed by many eyes but I only got lost in yours.]

[REDACTED][REDACTED] [POSSIBLE SECRET RO]

Would Evander show mc photos of Jiji if they asked nicely? How about playing the piano for mc?

heh Evander doesn't need to be asked to talk about Jiji (or anything, for that matter); the whole cast of Magici has prolly already seen him a thousand times.

Also they definitely have a Powerpoint presentation ready that they just whip out at random times and force people to listen to.

it's prolly named sum like

"Jiji the Great, The First: Discovering the Enigmatic Charms of My Feline Companion" (he thinks it's hilarious)

And if MC asks really really nicely, he'll play for them. Also if you catch them while they're playing that's a cheat code, 'cause he doesn't really enjoy playing in front of people; he prefers MC listening to him without him knowing so he doesn't mess up.

this IF game is like...one of my biggest inspos , idk how i didnt find it sooner im so hyped to meet Xinyi qwq

Play matchmaker with your class-/teammates ❤︎

❤︎ Romantic Options:

Martin: He comes from a long lineage of strong mages. Always the family's black sheep, he seeks to make his family proud and finally show them he's worthy of his last name. A gentle but intimidating giant, he doesn't want to get too close to his fellow contestants, can you break down his walls?

Tropes: Stoic, Slow-Burn, Forced Proximity, Roommates, Afraid to Commit, Idiots in Love

Demetra: This one is a mystery. Your brother's best friend, whom you've seen walking around your home since you were a teenager; however, she never made an effort to get to know you. When you see her at the Academy, you realise you know nothing about who she is. She says her only motivation to be on the show is knowledge, but will you show her she can find something other than that?

Tropes: Rivals to Lovers, Brother's Best Friend, Idiots in Love, Everyone Can See It

Evander: Evander is a gifted individual with a big talent for magic, but he's lazy. The definition of "He's smart but he doesn't apply himself", he could care less about being on the academy. Their family has managed to force convince them to be on the show, the fame and money a big incentive. What they secretly hope is that he'll come home as a new person and grow up. You won't fix them, but you can sure seduce them. ;)

Tropes: First Love, Fish Out of Water, Oblivious to Love, Pining

Harley: A social butterfly, it seems somehow she's already friends with everyone at the Academy. Growing up around musicians made her love for music grow, as well as awaken her powers. She joined the show to make important connections and to get her name out there both as a talented musician and a powerful mage. Will you be just another friend for her or will you become her muse? 𝄞

Tropes: Friends to Lovers, Soft Love, Roommates, Idiots In love, Mutual Pining

Echo: Echo is extremely shy and often lost in her own thoughts. Her unique powers make her an intimidating rival and a strong teammate. However, she joined the show for a specific reason: she seeks to learn more about her unusual affinity. Other than that she hasn't really been interested in getting to know anyone. Maybe you'll be the exception and get to know the real Echo. ❤︎

Tropes: Slow Burn, Mutual Pining, Idiots In Love, Strangers to Lovers, Hesitant, Crush on MC

Dominic: He is one of the judges at Magici: Worldstar, as well as a professor at the Academy. He is just another judge, and you're just another contestant. Nothing to see here. :)

Tropes: Forbidden Love, Fell In Love with The Wrong Person, Lovers in Denial

possible flings 👀 Other contestants:

Bleon: They already have a reputation as a prankster around the Academy, having competed in Magici: Worldstar's first season. Loved by the student body, hated by the professors, but you'll be sure to like this menace.

Bruno: A shy but friendly presence in your team, he looks forward to getting to know you. After a quick conversation, you already know he aspires to become a respected landscape engineer by perfecting his ability to build and shape landscapes.

Brynn: She aspires to become a Nature Guardian, and to preserve harmony between humans and nature. It is slightly interesting then, that she seems to dislike you the moment she sets her eyes on you.

Chianti: He holds a little secret. Well, not anymore, 'cause I'm about to tell you. He's just had his Awakening, a mere few months before his admission to the show. Will you help him develop his affinities or turn the other way, until he gets eliminated?

Nora: After losing her father to a magic-related incident, she understands that even the strongest healers can't save themselves. She dreams of becoming a mage healer, but also a Guardian, thanks to her rare affinity combination.

Rahim: A disciplined and focused mage, no one in his family has had an Awakening. He hopes he'll be able to get far in the show or to at least stay long enough to develop his powers.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Ok first of all, I'm so so sorry for not replying to any of the asks or comments, for the last few weeks I've been down with food poisoning and low blood pressure and it's not helping that my college semester 2 is starting. I've been bed ridden just sleeping the whole time for the last week and am just getting better now. I feel so tired and unmotivated i could barely write this announcement even though I've been meaning to for a while. Again I'm so sorry for not active at all but my body just goes nah bitch on me so I cannot do anything about it for now. I might start responding to asks after a few days, so I want to thank anyone and everyone who have sent me those wonderful asks and I'm sad that I cannot answer them right now

Anyways that's it for now, I'll post updates later when I feel better

Take care everyone and remember to keep your body healthy cause you got only one

Okay - don't get me wrong: I am looking at Nikita & V as well.

But I also wanna make a wholesome(???) MC to pair with Caesar cuz clearly the man needs as much love as possible (MC may be an incarcerated amnesiac and she/he/they may be the bigger red-flag of the two but 'hopefully' Caesar's gonna wife/husband/spouse them up domestically).

I am so sorry if I am not making sense here!

So I have one question: How would each of the ROs feel and/or do if they wake up one day to not only be domestically live with MC, but also wake up to the sight of MC being a sweet housewife/husband/spouse in an apron and turning to them with a loving smile as they say "Morning, [petname]."

(You can take this as an AU or far, far, farrr in the future when they can live a domestic life.)

Again - I apologize if this ask is out of place ;u;

(ALSO - THERE'S MORE HORNY ANONS HERE THAN I THOUGHT, JEEBUS CRISP)

Oh a rare Caesar appreciater cameo! That's rare! To be honest with all the attention of E., V. and Nikita, he had ALMOST slipped out of mind, but thankfully you reminded me about our poor (and traumatized) single father here, good to know he has someone to love him too (p.s. I love the memes, they're hilarious 😂)

And oh boy, MC may have become a little tame now but back in their past they were one of the BIGGEST red flags to walk on the earth, but who knows after getting their memories back they might end up reverting back to their previous self (hopefully not) but I'm sure Caesar will domesticate them just fine (and hopefully not end up causing an even bigger disaster than they already are)

AND OMG THAT SCENARIO IS JUST TOO CUTE FOR MY HEART AND THIS IF TBH (tho it could be a possibility in the late, far far future) - and here's their responses! (Sorry for being late- college has been kicking my ass lately)

Twenty : They are a late sleeper, and a very heavy one at that so it take MC a while to wake them up with some gentle nudges, but when they do they'd probably throw a little tantrum like a petulant child be forced to wake up (they're joking of course) and possibly throw a pillow at MC for waking them up, telling them to get lost with a big grin on their face. Not a very big fan of physical affection, they’ll just answer with a lazy “Morning to you too.” and later help MC with the cleaning up and other chores. They're more used to showing their appreciation with acts of kindness rather than verbal or physical means. They'll go on shopping trips together, cook together and watch movies in each other's arms, in a future where neither of them is dead, in a future where things never went wrong.

Nikita : Being the lazy person he is, Nikita will just pretend to be asleep the whole time MC is trying to wake them up. Then when their back is turned he'd pull them in bed and give them a morning kiss on the cheek, with a rather cheeky smile of course. Not only would he refuse to get up from bed he'd also refuse to let the MC go so they'll probably just lie in bed in silence, enjoying the warmth of the bed and eachother company. In the past they wouldn't even have thought of sharing the same bed much less sleep in one as mortal enemies, but here they are, in an unexpected yet welcomed future. Nikita feels a warm feeling in his gut that he can't quite put a finger to, it's not uncomfortable but it's not familiar either. He has never felt this emotion. He's not sure what it feels like to feel one, but now as he lays in bed with MC he realizes what it really is. It's joy.

Victor/Vanessa : They’d just lie in bed in absolute shock at how adorable and cute MC is, they'll return their greetings with a cheerful “Good Morning to you too [pet name]!” Wanting to help the MC and not be left alone they'll quickly wash up and try to help them with the morning breakfast, despite their lack of expertise in cooking. It would probably lead to some hilarious (albeit cute) moments where batter splatters around them and they have to clean up the mess, with V. apologizing all the way. They'll also compliment the MC about their attire and secretly plan to buy more such cute aprons for them. And maybe a cookbook for themselves to prepare some treats for MC.

Emir/Evara : An early riser, E. and MC would get up together and while E. is busy taking a shower MC would be preparing breakfast. Imagine E’s surprise when they see MC in an apron, greeting them with a smile they hadn't seen in so long. They wouldn't even bother to dry up and straight up hug MC, ignoring all protests about being wet etc. After a while they'd let go and just say, “You look beautiful, love.” and with a quick kiss would walk past them to get their tea bags. A more expressive person they'll likely hug and hold hands with MC out of nowhere in the most unexpected times. They just like the feeling of being close with them, after losing them so long ago it feels like a forgotten nightmare.

Leo : Used to being served all the time by servants and attendants, Leo would be less than impressed and would instead quietly frown to themselves, thinking someone has forced MC to do the household chores when they shouldn't. She thinks that since her and MC are together there is no need for MC to do the hard work when they have everyone they need at their disposal. But upon MC’s persistence, she'll eventually relent (albeit hesitantly, and then fire the chef for not doing their shit properly) and then do it. She won't help the MC with anything, simply watching them cook from afar while going through the phone, occasionally slipping in some compliments along the way. Later she'll take them on a date for the entire day to make up for that.

Caesar : He'll be a little flustered, and touched too. Looking at MC he would see a brief, but similar image of his wife next to them which would make him very emotional. MC would not be expecting a grown man to tear up at their attire and probably be more flustered on their behalf. It takes them a while of coaxing and patting to get him to calm down, he does and Caesar feels embarrassed now. They talk about him and his wife for a while then, with Caesar sharing some sensitive details about her death. But their heavy talk is interrupted by his daughter, Chiara waking up. The rest of the morning goes well with them sharing breakfast, and Chiara complaining about having to drink milk. They make the picture of a perfect family to any outsider, one with no future to worried about because their present is more important.

Gael/Gwendolyn : An early bird, G. would be the first to be up, because they need to train and exercise early, just like they always do. Though they're used to being alone by themselves, so they would not be expecting MC, their once mortal enemy now lover, in a cute apron welcoming them with a smile that could blind thousands. Had they told their past self about it, they would've been spat at. But now here they are, sharing their breakfast on a single table, across one another in a comfortable silence. Honestly, they like it more than the loud hustle or bustle of the headquarters. There's nothing much to talk about, and they don't need to anyways. They always know what the other wants and needs, and that's all they need.

You needn't worry about the ask being out of place! Infact it's such a welcome scenario away from all the chaos XD I love them so please don't feel burdened or concerned when sending such asks! I love them!

(AND IKR-?! PEOPLE ARE SO HORNY BUT SO AM I SO WHO AM I JUDGE THEM HEHEHE-)

It would be funny if you add "road to hell" or something for suggestive asks lol

Ooo 😮 that's sounds like a good idea! Maybe not now, but perhaps in the future 😉

Apologies for the slow replies, college has been kicking my ass since day one and today I was KO'D instantly by our law and legal awareness paper 😭 WHAT DO YOU MEAN I NEED TO WRITE AN FIR FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WHEN WE'VE BARELY SCRATCHED THE SURFACE ON IT AND WHY IS THERE AN OUT OF SYLLABUS 10 MARKS QUESTION HOVERING OVER ME- WHYS TIME MOVING SO QUICKLY I JUST COMPLETED AN ANSWER AND ITS ALREADY AN HOUR DONE WORT M8

ahem sorry for the rant I'm just irked by our exam papers and their sheer ridiculousness 🙂👍

woop, just in case - "why are you smiling?" ask was a joke 💕 I kinda love the fact that no relationships in this IF are simple, not even with E., and my anxiety level spikes (in a good way) with every new answer you post.

Oh it's nothing to worry about, I don't mind 😜 and hehe I'm so happy that you are enjoying this IF and giving it so much love ❣️ I hope that you can continue loving it and sending me asks, I love answering them! <3

and newsflash, [E.] gladly accept [proposal] before you even finish the sentence 😁

😁

...why are you smiling like this? hey! why are you smiling like his??!!! 😟 😨 😰

HEHEHEHE 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Eve, how old was mc when this inmate escaped???

MC was around 6 years old when this inmate escaped Tartarus

Hmm I cannot imagine what you're cooking up anon but it seems very intriguing considering all your asks 🤔🤔🤔

love your blog as one true crime lover to another I must ask what’s what’s your favorite crime?

Oh a fellow true crime lover I see 🙈, hello to you too! And I have a long list of true crimes that I find interesting, but here are my top three!

1. The Burari Deaths : this case really shook me to the core, especially after watching the Netflix documentary. I wasn't quite aware of the extent of its case as the media here likes to embellish things quite a lot, but really behind all the mysteries and unfortunate deaths was the sad truth about society demonising mental health to the point talking about it becomes a taboo. Sometimes I wonder if the perpetrator(not gonna mention his name) had gotten help with his mental health maybe things could've been different. Plus this was my first case about the topic of shared psychosis, which in itself is so intriguing!

2. The case of Taylor Parker Morton : this was my very first (and possibly last case) related to fetal abduction that made me more madder than I had ever felt in my lifetime. And although the topic is itself very interesting (albeit horrifying) the case surrounding it will make any empathetic persons blood boil

3. The case of India's (and the world's) youngest serial killer : really brings out the age old debate on Nature vs Nurture when you go through this case. And idk what's more terrifying, the fact that this kid did it when he was 8 or that he's out and living his best life rn, with a changed name and all that. Makes you wonder who the person you're walking or sitting beside really is and how many skeletons they are hiding in their closet

So there are my top three true crime cases that I found really impactful and interesting 🤔, feel free to tell me yours 😁

“nikita probably muzzles mc if they refuse to bark for him- especially in the beginning. a nicer way of shutting them up until they learn not to bite. (probably coos some bullshit to them about waiting until they’re properly trained before taking him in the mouth)

ANYWAY-“

—

ANON YOU CAN’T JUST LEAVD AFTER SAYING THAT. COME BACK AND SHARE MORE OF YOUR THOUGHTS. 😭😭😭

LOL IT SEEMS ANON HAS SAME THOUGHTS AD ME 😭 WHERE ARE YOY HORNY ANON YOU CANNOT LEAVE US WITH A CLIFFHANGER LIKE THAT COME BACK!!!

Don’t know who it was but I’m in love with the horny anon who sent in that ask about Nikita.

ME TOO 😂 Horny anon here seems to have charmed fellow horny people like the anon and me myself

Eve, has anyone been able to escape Tartarus?

HMMMMMM- dunno whether it could be considered too spoilery, but YES there was ONE instance when an inmate did escape from Tartarus, although there is little to no information on them as everything has been erased from the system to hide any traces of this rare humiliation from the so called best prison in Elysium. This inmate, who had been sentenced to Tartarus for being involved in anti-government activities would escape by the skin of his teeth and later become the leader of the biggest rebellion in the New World's history. Too bad they failed and were publicly executed to set an example for the rest.
