Intro.

hi! i'm luna and hillvale is a project that i've had in mind for a while but never really got into writing it until now. i've mainly decided to share my wip as a way to motivate myself to keep writing and to see if anyone would be interested in reading it. hillvale is an urban supernatural fantasy that deals with themes of grief, mental health, finding joy and hope even in the darkest of times and found family. this if is also my love letter to the supernatural genre that i love so much. hillvale is still in recent stages of development and i'm still learning how to code so please bear with me.

Dancing With The Devil is my first interactive fiction, but it’s not my main story. It’s what I hope will be a stress reliever for when working on my other stories become a bit too much. I hope to have the intro post out for at least one of them soon! Content Warning is at the end of the post, check it out before interacting/reading. 18+

Twelve years ago you and your band mates were at the height of your careers. Being on the cover of every magazine and headlining the biggest shows, and attending the grandest galas and parties were only some of the perks of being on top of the music world. You were born to be in the spotlight, and boy was it good to be treated and feel better than everyone else.

But life in the spotlight faded pretty fast. Now it’s been six years since you’ve disbanded and your life hasn’t been the same. No more shows, no more getting recognized every time you go out, and no more special treatment. Suddenly, you were no one and compared to how you were living then, well your life is shit.

And honestly? You’d do anything to have the amount of success again. Anything.

Unfortunately for you, a mysterious being approaches you with a deal of a lifetime. The celebrity lifestyle, the success, and the money? You could experience it all again for just one measly price: your service.

And when they call for you to do their bidding, you’d better be ready.

Get ready for one hell of a ride, rockstar.

Customize the MC. (Appearance, Gender, Personality, and Sexuality.)

Customize your…other form. Don’t worry you’ll look scary and sick as shit at the same time.

Have a demonic power that you’ll get to use when you have to, or just when you want to.

Choose your role in the band. Because that’s the thing that matters right now. (No, it actually does, and it’s gonna be pretty fucking cool.)

Rekindle friendships with or romance with any of the five romance options, plus a secret/locked option. Poly routes will be added to the ROs list once I plan them.

Choices shape your route. Do you want to embrace your new dark side or is it all too much for you? Both possible routes comes with their own pros and cons.

The choices you make can also put you and your band mates in some hot ass water (literally), but let’s be honest, you guys probably deserve it!

Multiple endings.

Ava Leveux, F, She/Her, 36, Lead Singer

One of your closest friends still and really the only one you talk to after the band’s split. She’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet, and between all of you, the one with the most common sense. Which is why she’s very reluctant to go along with the entire “deal” in the first place.

Daniel Mercer, M, He/Him, 35, Bassist

Despite the fact that he’s not actually as talented as the other members of the band, he definitely has the biggest ego out of everyone. Add the fact that he can be quite hot headed, and he becomes one of the most annoying people on the planet. He didn’t really end on the best of terms with the rest of you after the band split, but because he’s just as desperate for attention as the rest of you, he’s back.

Farrow Marsone, NB, They/Them, 39, Manager

Your no-nonsense manager. Not here for this shit honestly. They’re the first and pretty much only one to explicitly tell you that this entire deal is shady, and will come back to bite you in the ass. However after some thinking, they begin to realize that they’ve been out of work for years and your success is their success.

Hannah Landoni, F, She/Her, 35, Guitarist

Though the success isn’t much, she’s the so called “breakout star” of the band. After the split, she’s the only one who’s made bit of a name for herself and at least a little bit known nowadays. Was very quick to distance herself from the rest of you once she rebranded. Once she heard about your plan, she really wasn’t on board with it, but even she can’t ignore the fact that the bit of spotlight that she does have is fading fast.

Ronin Sawyer, He/They, 33, Drummer

One chaotic little shit, and can be quite too much for some people. Constantly giving out himbo energy, and a bit clueless about what’s going on, but once they figure it out they’re all in for it. It’s reckless, impulsive, and it’s sure to cause a lot of chaos. How the hell could they say no to this?

????, They/Them

Intimidating, cunning, and very persuasive…

Dancing with the Devil is an 18+ horror themed interactive fiction with a hint of dark comedy. The story will feature strong language, consumption of alcohol, implied drug use, violence, mildly gruesome scenes, optional sexual explicit scenes, hints of manipulation, blood, and dark themes. Possibly more to be added as the story progresses. If any of this is off putting to you, this may not be the story for you. Play at your own risk.

DEMO TBA | ROs APPEARANCES | PLAYLISTS

Dusk Till Dawn is an interactive novel set in the modern world with an MC that is a little out of place. Will you find your own place in a world so foreign to you? Or will you crumble to dust?

Genre(s): Low-Fantasy, Mystery, Thriller, Romance, and Action.

Setting: Washington, D.C.

Warning(s): This story is rated 18+ for depictions of death, blood, gore, strong language, alcohol consumption, sexual themes, violence, and horrible vampire puns.

Scenario and NSFW asks are more than welcome (within reason)!

The Impaler

The Count

Dracula

Those were the names that were given to you through the ages; mortals laying claim to something that would long outlive them.

The stories, myths, and legends hanging over you like an ever-present cloud— whether they were based on fact or not didn’t matter— as the centuries passed you by. Empires rising and falling like the evening tide before your eyes.

You don’t know the exact event that caused your long rest— you didn’t truly need to— but the boredom that the mortal world brought weighed on your shoulders like the heaviest of objects.

So, you closed your eyes and drifted away; allowing your body to lull itself into a false sense of serenity.

You just weren’t expecting the next time you opened them that you’d be in an entirely foreign place; new smells assaulting your senses that you’ve never encountered before.

All but one that is…

Blood.

However, when you went to investigate— trying to ignore the strangeness of your surroundings— you’re assaulted by a scene you weren’t expecting; a mutilated corpse lay mere feet from you, that didn’t truly phase you, but the odd object pointed directly at your chest and the shout of ‘police’ was certainly quite peculiar.

What have you gotten yourself into now?

Customizable MC: name, appearance, gender, sexuality, bits and pieces of your background, hobbies, and more!

Romance 1 of 5 possible options! That’ll hopefully make your new life a bit more bearable.

Play as a displaced Dracula that doesn’t know what in the hell is going on. Who’s also found themselves as the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Welcome to the 21st Century?

Will you accept these new objects that mortals seem to be so fond of? What is a cellphone? And why does someone want you to call them later?

Adopt a pet to make things a bit easier for your poor self; they’re something that’s familiar at least.

Make sure that you don’t go too long without feeding and, depending on how you do it, don’t get caught.

Find out what the world has now spun your legend as and what they’ve made your kind out to be. What in the absolute hell is Twilight?

Figure out who killed the victim; either because you want to see justice be served or to save your own ass or something in the middle. Choice is yours…

The world may not be ready for Count Dracula to be back but are you ready for what the world is now too?

Victor/Victoria Helsing - The Detective

33 [6’0” | Gray Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]

The individual that arrested you in the first place— despite your protests— and who holds a shocking resemblance to a man you once knew; annoying as his attempts at killing you might have been. Of course, you can’t truly blame the steely eyed detective for arresting you— after all you were near a dead body— but did they have to be so skeptical to your explanations?

Flynn/Felicity Palmer - The Doctor

33 [5’6” | Hazel Eyes | Strawberry Blonde Hair]

You don’t think you’ve ever seen a mortal so obsessed with death before— the good doctor notwithstanding— and you especially weren’t expecting the clinical way in which they operated. Confidence exuding from their form as they speak about the scientific facts of the situation but the moment it becomes personal? They remind you of a turtle with how quickly they retreat back into their shell.

Tyler/Taylor Kendrick - The Curator

34 [5’8” | Dark Brown Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

The one in charge of the exhibit that you had woken up in; an individual that seems fascinated with the tales that you tell about your past. Even if they don’t truly believe you’re telling the truth the honest inquires and open questions give you a semblance of an idea that they wish to believe; the pursuit of knowledge is never truly over after all.

Adrian/Ariana Shaw - The Neighbor

30 [5’11” | Green Eyes | Golden-Brown Hair]

Upon moving into your new apartment— a bit of a downgrade from your castle— they’ve been a constant source of help whenever you can’t quite figure out how a new appliance works. With a cheerful disposition, horrible puns, and an all around helpful attitude, you knew that you’d be seeing a lot more of them. Maybe it’ll turn into something more?

Damon/Diana Walker - The Old Friend

32 [6’5” | Steel Blue Eyes | Raven Black Hair]

Someone you haven’t seen in quite some time. Who’s seemed to finally come into their own; from someone who used to trip over their words to a flirtatious heartbreaker. You can’t help but notice, however, whenever you get near they seem to stumble back into their old role. Their words coming out with less suaveness and more quite nerves; you haven’t the slightest inclination why but maybe you’ll figure it out as you get to know them once more.

ROMANCE OPTIONS

RO Visuals (Picrew)

Alfie Redding [ 16 — M — Bisexual ] — as a bookworm with a kind smile and a terrifying glare, Alfie is the only person you 'know' before attending Green Valley, having been in the same secondary school. Not that the two of you were particularly close but perhaps his bright mind and striking wit is just what you need to solve this mystery.

[ English ] tall and willowy, extremely pale skin that burns easily, short bright ginger hair (2b) in a perpetual state of bed-head, olive green round eyes, aquiline nose with a high nose bridge and a straight base, lots of freckles, freckles everywhere in varying shapes and tones — they tend to come out more after he's been in the sun... as long as he's not burnt a bright red, thin lips but a wide mouth — a small pink scar on the left side of his top lip, deep dimples when he uses his mouth to form expressions. [ 6'0" ]

JJ Pendleton [ 17 — M — Pansexual ] — JJ is the one most people see either running away from a crime prank scene or the one sat outside the headmaster's office with a grin the size of England. He's funny, intriguing and easy to befriend however, he's hard to stick with, and often leads to trouble. Maybe that's why he's the one who most people are betting their money on, whether it's to disappear or prevail though, who knows?

[ Irish ] tall, athletic build, rosy warm tanned skin tone, bubblegum pink dyed hair (1c) — naturally dark brown — that's longer on top than on the sides and is usually styled up and out of his face, cat-like cornflower blue almond shaped eyes covered with large round glasses — currently sporting a pair of silver frames, a light smattering of freckles over the bridge of his romanesque nose with a bump on the bridge — it helps keep his glasses on his face, bow-shaped lips with a thinner upper lip — if you look closely there is a scar where a medusa piercing has been healed over, shallow dimples that only appear when he grins widely. [ 6'1" ]

Petra Molina [ 17 — F — Pansexual ] — as one of the only Non-British people at Green Valley, Petra brings a lot of intrigue and gossip wherever she goes — both the positive and negative kinds due to her appearance and life-style. Outwardly she never seems fazes by the whispers gathering in her shadow and she tends to keep to herself but she's a deeply passionate person as well as a loyal and protective friend, one that builds an almost perfect support system no matter what you'll go through.

[ Polish-Canadian ] small, petite frame — not much muscle and not a lot of fat, cool beige skin tone — often seen with rosy cheeks despite the weather of what she's feeling and wearing the colour black as clothing or makeup doesn't seem to wash her out paler, waist-length chestnut brown wavy hair (2c) that is usually left down and wind-swept in style with a choppy fringe that falls in a middle parting, down-turned hooded eyes, small snub nose, narrow lips with a straight cupid's bow and undefined philtrum, a singular beauty spot of the right side of her chin. [ 4'11" ]

Dakota Green [ 16 — F/M — Demi-sexual ] — the person who's friendly with everyone but the one no-one seems to know anything about. Not much is known about Dakota except the vast rumours that surround them and their family name — the biggest one being that the Green family are one of the founding families of the Green Valley Academic Chain. They have power and connections and might just be the key to figuring out the darker secrets surrounding Casadia Hall, you'd just have to get close enough for their walls to crumble.

[ Black-British ] average build — not particularly thin but not plump either, rich brown skin tone, shoulder-length white freshly bleach-dyed afro (4b) usually styled in two low puffs (F) or in a natural afro (M), black thin and shaped eyebrows, dark brown downturned protruding eyes — a faint scar running through the left eye the colour is so similar to their skin tone most people don't notice it at a glance, flat bridged nubian shaped nose, heart shaped full lips — upper lip thins out when they smile, a small and hard to differentiate beauty spot under the left side of their lips. [ 5'5" / 5'8" ]

Echo Edwards [ 16 — F/M/NB — Bisexual ] — Echo is the person most people wish they could be: the one most people are too scared to be. They're cool, calm and collected which a natural charm and a never-ending well of sage and though-provoking advice. They're the type of person people can't seem to insult, no matter how hard they try and the type of person who's smooth words could potentially get them, you and your house out of the worst types of trouble. However, is this worth their time? Or would their effort be better placed on keeping it out of mystery?

[ Thai-Welsh ] "attractively androgynous" average build — no particular curvature, fat or muscle however they have more muscle than they let on, rich sienna skin tone, dark dyed purple-almost-black (naturally dark brown) chest-length hair (1b) often styled tied up in some way — most commonly tied up in twin twisted space buns, dark brown straight medium-thick eyebrows, wide set monolided hazel-brown eyes, singular beauty mark directly under the outside corner of their right eye, short button nose with a stud piercing on right side, oval shaped lips with a fuller upper lip, straight shaped cupid's bow and defined vermillion boarder, one dimple on the left side that only appears when they smile. [ 5'7" ]

Lyric Bronwin [ 16 — NB — Non-Sex-Repulsed-Asexual, Pan-romantic ] — as someone who has never liked to be kept caged, Lyric lets their rebellious nature shine through in everything they do. They're outspoke and quick to defend what they believe in — due to excellent debate skills and some tough times in a couple of foster homes. They're good at finding loopholes and giving a change of perspective, which is especially useful when you start to get tunnel-visioned and stuck on a problem. It's hard to say no to them but that doesn't mean they're easy to like — what would be for the best?

[ Japanese ] lithe "unathletic with a fast metabolism" build, fair fawn skin tone, jaw length jet black hair (1a) often styles outwards under a beanie making their hair look shorter, thick yet shaped black eyebrows, double-lidded chocolate brown upturned asian eyes, narrow, straight nose with a high nose bridge — hooped septum piercing, small mouth and small lips, short and well-maintained thin moustache — to "confuse the prejudiced". [ 5'9" ]

OTHER CHARACTERS OF IMPORTANCE

Melinda Khan, Head Master [ 47 — F ] — the current headmaster of Green Valley Connection and Boarding School, London. Her smile is serene when it isn't sharp and her presence is calm and kind when it isn't rigid and intimidating. It's hard to get a read on her and it's even harder to keep secrets from her. They only questions left are — what does she know and who's side is she on?

Geoffrey Davies, Grounds Keeper [ 52 — M ] — stand-offish and not really in a good way, he's quiet and broody and isn't afraid of 'powerful people'. He's quite the mystery as the only thing people really know of the man is his love for gardening, unfortunately he's terrifying to talk to with a pair of hedge sheers in his hands.

Noaki Bushby, House Keeper [ 39 — NB ] — in charge of looking after the house rather than its inhabitants, Naoki is as kind as they are awkward and it's blatantly obvious they're much more suited to house keeper. They have background in architecture and home decoration making them incredibly suited to the job but they're kind of scary when you can hear them coming.

Archie Novak, House Mother [ 40 — M ] — takes on the role of 'mother' with pride. He has a degree in psychology and his previous job was working in a day care facility. Archie is loving and nurturing and is a warm and welcoming presence at Casadia Hall.

Mister, House Cat [ 3+ — M ] — Ragdoll, white body with a fully chocolate brown face. No one can recall where he came from, just that his name is Mister and he's been at Casadia Hall for three years.

UPDATES:

hi! welcome to green valley. you may have seen 'green valley' before in regards to trick serve, my other interactive fiction — so don't worry about plagiarism. this is because these two books will be in the same universe! green valley is the name of the chain of academic locations i made up! in this if you'll be playing an MC in their teens in a boarding school. (there won't be any connection to trick serve).

i will be focusing on this if first, think of this as a tool for me to learn coding through doing it and not getting super stuck or annoyed - it won't be as complicated.

This story will be free from start to finish.

DEMO (TBA)

Jack Frost [M]

The most recent addition to The Guardians before you came along. Jack Frost is known far and wide for his laid back disposition, and his tendency to have as much fun as he can, but when push comes to shove he’d do anything to protect the people he cares for.

Appearance: Jack stands at around 6’0” with glacier blue eyes and snow white hair. His fair skin stands out against the blue hoodie that he’s commonly seen in; his trusty staff never far from his person. He always has a playful smile curling his lips. (He has a lithe physique.)

Nicholas Claus [M]

An intimidating man by all appearance, Nicholas is definitely a man that you’d assume would sooner use his fists than talk. However, he’s an overgrown puppy that absolutely adores to help people whenever he can. Just don’t get him angry— or be on his naughty list— and everything will be okay.

Appearance: Nicholas stands at around 7’2” with piercing green eyes and dark auburn hair. His tanned skin is accentuated by the various tattoos easily noticeable across his body. The hulking mass of his body hidden behind simple shirts and pants with his trusty black boots to finish the look.

Toothiana [F]

A gentle entity, Toothiana— or simply Tooth— is a sporadic woman by nature, always shifting around, but she’s always dependable whenever you need her. With an open fascination with well looked after teeth— something you’ll have to get used to— Tooth makes sure you know that you can always count on her; even if she gets distracted easily.

Appearance: Tooth stands at around 5’2” when she isn’t hovering around. Her naturally dark brown hair, when she’s shifted from her scaled appearance, falls to the middle of her back. Bronze skin causing her golden-emerald eyes to stand out that much more.

Seraphina [F]

One of your closest advisors, and friends, Seraphina makes your job that much easier whenever Valentine’s Day rolls around. Her attention to detail and quick wit making everything much smoother. Even if she’s a little rough around the edges, mainly when it comes to other people, you couldn’t imagine having anyone else by your side.

Appearance: Seraphina stands at around 5’6” with dark brown eyes and onyx black hair. Medium brown skin being accentuated by the pearly white apparel that’s common among the individuals within your employ. Her slender, almost delicate, body hiding a hidden strength.

Pitch Black [M/F]

One of the greatest nightmare the world had never seen; The Boogeyman in the flesh. Pitch Black had been nothing but a whispered rumor for years before their return. You don’t know what caused their disassociation with The Man in the Moon, but it’s clearly left a permanent scar. Will you be able to show the embodiment of darkness that love isn’t impossible for them?

Appearance: Pitch stands at around 6’2” with sapphire blue eyes, with specks of gold, and raven black hair. Pallid skin, that almost has a grey hue to it, stands out against the dark clothes— and the shadows— that they’re commonly seen in. Their lithe body has a muscular quality to it.

Hidden Demon is an interactive fiction set within a world filled with superheroes and villains. Will you find your place among them?

Genre(s): Superhero, Romance, Heist, Action, and Adventure. (It can get dark depending on your choices.)

Setting: Los Angeles, California

Warning(s): This story is rated 18+ for depictions of violence, torture, death, alcohol consumption, (possible) drug use, sexual themes, strong language, blood, and dark themes.

Scenario/NSFW asks are more than welcomed.

Los Angeles is commonly referred to as the City of Angels. Of course, that’s before the sun falls beneath the horizon and the demons come out to play. Less than reputable folk coming out of the woodworks to turn the city into their own playground; free of their masks that the day brings.

You’re among that very crowd; some of them you see as close friends. You weren’t anyone that has truly made a name for themselves— yet— but the person you work for has a presence that no one would ever go up against.

The Morrigan wasn’t one anyone would ever want to cross.

You don’t know what you’d be without them— as you had simply been a broke college graduate when they found you— but you know that they’ve given you more opportunities than many in this city get.

Which is why, when they sit you down and explain their newest plan, you agree without much complaints.

How hard can it possibly be?

Customizable MC: name, nickname (if desired), gender, sexuality, villain name (that some people may not use), hobbies, and more!

Play as the henchman to one of the most feared villains in the Western Hemisphere; a figure that few have ever seen and lived to tell the tale.

Experience flashbacks to the moment(s) that changed your life forever; where you were just a poor, graduated, college student that needed to figure out how to make ends meet.

Will you be the water to your bosses fire? Or will you only fan the flames more?

Help your boss with the crime of the century— their words— as you do other odd jobs to prepare for the big one.

Make sure you don’t stay out too late. You don’t want to have your daily life suffer because of it. Can’t have people questioning you after all.

Romance 1 of 5 possible options; including your boss or clueless roommate.

Make sure you spend some time with your dog, okay? Or you’ll get puppy eyes.

Remember not to get caught! Or it’ll be very awkward when your boss has to bail you out.

Nathan/Natasha Frost - The Morrigan

31 [6’4” | Blue-Green Eyes | Raven Black Hair]

You’ve been working for your boss for about four years now and, within that time, you’ve learned quite a bit about them. Like how they’re actually the CEO of Frost Industries that uses their multitude of connections for their nightly habits. Or how they’re the biggest sap for romance novels. Of course, their cold exterior only ever melts around you but that doesn’t mean they’re any less dangerous. They’re just a tiger lying in wait for the time to strike; you always need to remember that.

Richard/Rosalie Shepherd - The Stranger

32 [6’1” | Slate Grey Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]

A friendly stranger that you’ve met in your building a couple times— conversation passing easily between you both— and you can’t help but wonder if anything more could come of it. You also can’t help but feel like you’ve seen them somewhere before; barring the times you’ve seen them waiting for the elevator in the lobby of your building. You just can’t quite put your finger on where you’ve seen them before. Their gentle demeanor seemingly off to you somehow; though you have no doubt that it’s real.

Jace/Jade Cassidy - The Roommate

28 [5’8” | Golden-Brown Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

Your roommate— who also happens to be your best friend— that has no idea what you do during your supposed “night-shifts”. Even when you can see the question in their eyes they never put it to words; instead they simply leave notes for you whenever you get back. Notes that detail various things— laundries done, leftovers in the fridge for you, left a message for you from your mom— you don’t know what you’d do without them. Which is why you haven’t told them what you do; you didn’t want to find out.

Oliver/Olivia Jones - The Enigma

29 [5’10” | Dark Brown Eyes | Light Brown Hair]

Even years after you started working for your boss, you never truly interacted with the other henchman that they employed; at least of the ones that spent any true time with them. Their cold exterior, no nonsense behavior, and biting retorts, was a good deterrent for anyone trying to get close. However, with the new heist being an all hands on deck situation, will you get to know them better than you ever thought you would?

Adel/Adele Michelson - The Federal Agent

30 [6’0” | Hazel Eyes | Dark Auburn Hair]

An investigator that decided the seemingly random chain of events within LA wasn’t actually random. You wouldn’t be too worried about them if it wasn’t for the fact that you kept running into them; seriously when did the feds actually start being competent? With their flirtatious remarks and cocksure grin, you knew that you were in trouble. As you get closer you know you’re playing with a ticking time bomb; will you be able to throw it away before the explosion? Or will you gladly burn in the inferno it causes?

It was a tale as old as time within the small town of Serenity Falls. To some the myths told of people that inhabited the seas— mermaids to most— that helped create Serenity Falls. To others, however, the myths speak of horrible beasts that crawled out from the very depths of hell; with a call that only the dead would be able to resist.

Many have heard the tales— and many have rolled their eyes at them— but when a stranger washes up on the shore of the small town with a much bigger history? Maybe those legends were filled with kernels of truth after all.

Unfortunately you wouldn’t be able to help; as you don’t remember how you even got to Serenity Falls in the first place. All you have are the flashes of memories when you dream, the faint pang in your heart every time you look out into the bay, and the faint echo of your name being whispered in the wind.

It seems that the small town of Serenity Falls has just as much to give you as you do to it.

August/Audrey Hale, 28 (M/F)

-The Golden Child-

The oldest child of Serenity Falls mayor; A has always made it their duty to make sure that everyone within the small coastal town was all right. A dazzling smile and a warm gaze causes many hearts to swoon but not many have been able to capture their heart. Will you be able to do so? After all they were the one to find you and you’ll definitely be seeing a lot more of them. As they want to make sure that you’re all right and acclimate well enough to everything that Serenity Falls has to offer.

“I haven’t felt this way since my first love broke my heart. I-I don’t know what I would if I lost you too. I just know that my world would become that much dimmer because of it.”

Sychar/Syrena Ashford, 29 (M/F)

-The Protector-

You don’t remember them but they certainly remember you. Silver eyes softening only for you as their attention solely stays wherever you seem to be. They say they’re your best friend, and something within your heart tells you it’s true, but you can’t shake the feeling that something’s being kept from you. You get the feeling that they’d do absolutely anything for you but you don’t remember why.

“I have stayed by your side for you entire life— through your ridiculous adventures— and I know that I’ll stay by your side for the rest of it. I’d do anything to protect you, your highness. Not just because you’re my best friend. You’ve always been so much more.”

Ross/Rose Laurier, 28 (M/F)

-The “Bad” Seed-

Whispered words is all you hear about them at first; that they were no good, that they ran with the wrong crowd. Upon meeting them? You couldn’t quite connect the soulful hazel eyes, standing on the other side of the diners counter, with the person those words have been connected to. Much more seems to hide underneath the steely facade that they put up. Maybe you’ll be the one to slip behind that wall and find the person hidden beneath.

“I still don’t know why you care so much. No one ever sticks around for long so I don’t expect you to either. I just hope you know that I’m glad you’ve stuck around. I’ve never truly had a friend like you. Now don’t tell anyone I’m getting this mushy on you or I might have to kick your ass, okay?”

Caspian/Cassidy Vega, 27 (M/F)

-The Scientist-

A person with as much passion for the sea, and the life living within it, as you’ve ever seen. For all the knowledge that spews from their mouth they seemingly grow bashful to every other form of conversation, but they’re endlessly fascinated by you. By the possibility that the old fables their parents told them at night could possibly be true. Maybe you’ll discover more about them as they help you discover more about yourself.

“The sea has always called to me. Rolling tides, whistling winds, pristine blues, have always been heaven on earth to me. I’ve never known exactly why I’ve always loved the sea but maybe it was to get me prepared for you? Maybe I love the sea so much because I was always supposed to love you.”

Lucian/Lucia Prince, 32 (M/F)

-The Enigma-

You aren’t the only new resident to Serenity Falls. You’ve only been able to catch glimpses of the elusive individual but their ice blue eyes, peering over darkened shades, seem to enrapture you; while also reminding you of a vague memory that has entered your dreams more than once. You don’t know why you feel like you already know this person but you’re definitely intrigued by them; their cool smile, collected demeanor, and flirty words included.

“Cat got your tongue, sweet thing? I hope you won’t be silent all night. It’ll get quite boring hearing me yammer on, don’t you think? Hmm.. no matter, I suppose there’s always other activities we could divulge in, don’t you agree?”

You’re next…

It was among a thousand other comments— you had only seen it briefly in passing— but you couldn’t help the chill that wracked your spine because of it. Even through the screen you could feel the malicious air exuding from those words. The omniscient air clogging your lungs as you try to fight through the emotions that rise because of the message.

You’re able to shake it off after a few moments— people on the internet are weird after all— and get back to doing your daily routine. Your attention shifting to other things; causing the message to be forgotten.

That is until a sharp rapping on your door awakens you at close to midnight; your bleary eyes barely taking in the flashing of a badge before you’re asking to come with them. Your ears barely being able to comprehend what it was they were hearing.

You were being targeted by a person that had already killed a dozen other people— all of them holding some presence online— and nothing would stop them from getting to their thirteenth; to you.

Will you be able to survive long enough to see the victims before you get justice? Or will you just be another number on a list that wasn’t able to be saved?

Damien/Diana Carrington 28, [M/F]

-The Roommate-

One of your roommates— the one that actually owns the house you’re living in— who doesn’t really interact with you all that much. Aloof to everyone but their cat, D makes it a point to stay within their room— more than likely sleeping through the day— before disappearing to their job at random hours; not that they needed to work. Being part of one of the richest families in America.

However, with everything that’s happening with you, you’re about to see a side of D that you’ve never even thought possible.

Gray/Grace Anders 27, [M/F]

-The Best Friend-

Your second roommate, and the one you were closest to, who also happens to be your best friend since childhood. With a sunny smile, compassionate demeanor, and giving spirit; you don’t know what you’d do without them by your side. Having them in the house brings a lot of cheer— plus their homemade meals— that you’ll desperately need in the coming weeks.

Will things transition into something more? Or will they stay the same?

Ethan/Emily Ward 32, [M/F]

-The Ex-Con-

The suave, and slightly egocentric, ex criminal that has agreed to help the police with the investigation— sort of like Silence of the Lambs— as they have the skills, and the connections, to help with the investigation; while the authorities have the capacity to give them a get out of jail free card for good behavior.

Will you fall under their silken words? Helping them turn over a new leaf? Or will everything be left to the unknown?

Oliver/Olivia Deveraux 31, [M/F]

-The Detective-

The lead investigator sent to protect you— as the FBI try other angles— with a cool demeanor that tells you of someone that’s seen too much. Will they let you get closer? Or will they push you away like they have everyone else in their life? Will you be their saving grace, like they’ll be to you, or will they be left to drown within themselves?

Will you see through their mask?

Fallon Beckett 29, [M/F]

-The Ex-

The person you thought you were going to marry; spend the rest of your life but misunderstandings broke the two of your apart. Someone who you used to share a bed with, who used to hold your heart and you theirs, becoming nothing but a stranger to you. So, you were surprised when you opened your door and they were standing on the other side. The same soulful gaze, the one you had fallen in love with, being right in front of you once more.

Will you forget your past to set your sights on a brighter future? Or will you always be stuck on that night everything ended?
