A Dark Fantasy Story With A Mix Of Modern, Medieval, And Futuristic Elements. Two Siblings, An Angel

"Horror gripped breath and blood red maw, they left you for your grave and yet here you stand in mock and mirthless jest with revenge in hand. History will be repeated, but not as they planned. An eye for an eye the crows laugh."

Gahliarch is not kind to those with magick. Breaking from a treaty made hundreds of years ago, they have returned to their dark roots and have begun purging their lands of magai once more. Where the nations of Syrel'Court and Heimshall believe that magick was given as a holy connection to their god creator Eddath, Gahliarch believes it a curse meant to be snuffed out; and themselves the divine judge, jury and executioner to do so.

You know of these executors first hand, born with magick and taken into captivity by the Gahliarchen nobility's personal bloodhounds, the Lumniscen Order. Like poignant cloying shadows they came after you and others of your kind as you had tried to cross the sea into the magai harboring lands of Heimshall and left you a vengeful husk upon your escape from them.

Now you hunt them in return for the pain they inflict. A vendetta through years of hardship and dedication to your craft, you have become the same nightmare they invoked on your kind. An assassin taking down the inner workings of Gahliarch’s most corrupt factions in turn for their grotesque genocide.

But there is news of war on the horizon. The nations of Gahliarch, Syrel'Court and Heimshall all meant to be governed by mutual interest and bond of The Seven Circle Court is being broken apart from the inside by quickly silenced rumors and faceless ploys, but this political turmoil might just be what you need to finally infiltrate and be done with the Lumniscen Order once and for all; to burn them from their rotting inside out.

It is time to decide who you want on your side, or risk going alone into the underbelly of Gahliarch’s hungry underground political society. Bring their secrets to burn in the light, dig into your history, fall into the depths of revenge and madness, discover hidden treaties and balance the lives of others in your hands. God or no god on your side.

RO's

Enoc Castellon Male An information broker notorious in Gahliarch as the best of the best. Very little gets past them and unlike others in the business of information, he is not afraid of getting hands on with his work unlike some others who prefer slinking about in the shadow waiting for bits of rumor or documents to make their way to them. You are lucky to call him a friend, possibly the only one you've truly had, but that doesn't mean that you get a pass for your behavior if he see's it as detrimental to your health or safety. Strict but on the edge of parental in their concern, you have come to respect each other despite it being such an unlikely partnership but it is one you've patched into your lifestyle so far you don't know what it would look like without him and how he becomes so much softer and calmer around you. He seems to have just as many secrets and a history riddled with scars as you however, something that brings solace to you both, but there is something else hidden there that Enoc himself is unwilling to say which continues to drive a wedge between your trust.

Wilorin Whitespire Gender Selectable (m/f) A reclusive figure working in the underground of Gahliarch's capital of Montseignant. A doctor by trade and one who used to work as scholar and instructor for medicine as a court physician they are an imposing figure in both appearance and personality, crude and no-nonsense they are the voice of reason in most situations and remain a pessimist despite their urge to do their duty and care for those less fortunate and underprivileged. After an unfortunate turn of events when Wilorin had to flee persecution from the Court after helping a group of magai escape Gahliarch, they had help from an old lover, Koske Ichante, who took them in while in hiding and started a small group together in the underground to continue their work in helping the refugee's find ways out of Gahliarch's failing judicial system. Wilorin's connections are widespread, between a small group of unlawfully discharged soldiers under the command of Koske, a network of the young children of the underground looking for ways to earn food and a place to rest off the street, and Wilorin's reluctant communication with Rowul Wayvir, they are more than well established as the largest faction in the underbelly of Gahliarch.

Rowul Wayvir Gender selectable (m/f) Hailing from one of the most prestigious academies of magick as an ambassador between Syrel'Court and Gahliarch, Rowul is a person of great interest and intrigue in the court, naturally charming and seen as highly gifted. With Gahliarch falling back into a time where it was open to persecute those with magick it makes the job of a magai ambassador dangerous however with secrets around every corner, they never seem to show the pressure getting to them though, leaving every conversation with a graceful and eloquent impact. Witty, sarcastic and yet always with a plan up their sleeve, there is more to them that meets the eye and you come to learn this first hand as they seek you out for a very particular job. They act as if they are an open book but you find yourself truly wondering what just lies beneath the carefully curated façade of nobility they air to the public and what plans they have in store for the ever changing political scene now that war is on the horizon. They have surprising connections, including their own bodyguard and spy Belos, a Tithessian from the Marshes of Phesen and some of the innermost of the underground of Gahliarch's capital making them a formidable enemy and a valuable ally, working their magick from the shadow all while in the spotlight of high society.

Belos Nonbinary A ghost rarely seen. Belos' work as a mercenary was renowned having been adopted into a family who prided themselves in their work as sellswords before mysteriously disappearing from the business. They aren't keen on talking about exactly what happened other then they had to take family matters into their own hands and did some things they were not proud of and became indebted to Rowul Wayvir because of it. They still find value in their skillset as a mercenary, watching everything and leaving no trace behind and when seen their inhuman features leave a particular foreboding unease, but it is often tainted with much darker undertones after having worked as a notorious assassin. There is something predatorial about them in appearance, though those who are fortunate enough to actually get to know them understand that their stoic expressions and silence is simply a comfort to themselves in preferring solitude over having to make small talk or unnecessary conversation. Wickedly smart with keen observational skills, details don't get past them easily and surprisingly for their quiet demeanor they are very emotionally in tune and have given solid advice to those they consider friends. They are loyal to Rowul and therefore loyal to their cause as well and when set on a task Belos makes sure it is completed no matter the cost.

Eowulf Rit Lechlen Female Born to a family once known as nobility in the capital of Gahliarch, Eowulf is the eldest daughter of the Rit Lechlen family who were exiled under false accusations and their title stripped from them. She has been preparing for her revenge for as long as she can remember and while she already has what she needs to incriminate those that already took her families title from them, she now needs a force strong enough to make the Court's Council listen to her claim without facing execution for returning to a land she was exiled from. The Rit Lechlen's have made a name for themselves again over the years on the Island of Rhes as fierce sailors and Eowulf shows it proudly, a strong fighter and leader she wears her families name with pride despite their stained status and laughs in the face of her adversaries for their naivety thinking simple words could make her stop her pursuit for justice. Her moral compass is strongly led by the desire to correct the wrongdoings of the system that has failed others like her and her family and exposing those who leech off of the system for their own benefit. Gahliarch is the perfect place to start this hellbent reckoning.

Sigunn Mlane Genderfluid A quick-witted bard and scholar originally from the smaller city of Cairith in Gahliarch, they later moved to the Island of Rhes as a scribe for the Rit Lechlen family when their studies were finished, becoming friends with the family's eldest child Eowulf Rit Lechlen, even so far as to become her personal bard and follow her in her endeavors to record her history. They are a notable tactician and have studied histories and lores extensively, making them a formidable ally to have in both battlefield and court. Sigunn as most bards tend to be has expressed abilities in political deals and spy work and is known to be a trickster in their own right but loyal to Eowulf and her beliefs of justice even if they are more aloof about it. Being a bard is one of the most honored roles of society, tasked with accurately keeping track of history happening around them, it is seen as one of the highest acts of treason both politically and religiously to temper with historical writings of a bard and they are trained to be be detached and impassive so that they can write everything accurately to what truly happened no matter what light it paints on their patrons or even themselves. While Sigunn is dedicated and passionate about their craft, they are a very personable and emotionally engaged person all while leaving you question if there's anything hidden behind that carefully placed grin.

Additional Characters There is a wide range of characters depicted in The Rising Night that are not just the RO cast that you will get to know and even influence throughout the story itself. These are a few of them that you will get to know alongside many others to come.

Koske Ichante Male Former captain of the guard for Montseignant's elite and a past lover of Wilorin's, they now work as the right hand man to WIlorin's underground faction working against Gahliarch's nobility and political system. The few soldiers that were under his tutelage at the time of his dishonorable discharge from the Court now work as a task force under Koske that sweep the streets and protect those that can't protect themselves and bring back those looking for asylum from persecution. Just as stubborn as Wilorin, Koske and Wilorin deal with each other in a familial bantering manner however they know that they would do most anything for each other.

Beckett Female A street rat that was one of the first that was found and brought in by Wilorin and Koske's refugee asylum, she was quick to bring in the other children of the street until they became a formidable force of thieves and spies that began helping the refugee's by bringing back supplies and news while they stole from high society to survive. Beckett’s trust is hard earned and impossible to win back, they have learned who and what they want in their life early and have no qualms with cutting out what harms them or the others they care for. Making her a devout friend but a dangerous enemy. Beckett is also sarcastic and dry being the ringleader of her little group of thieves certainly made her a little prideful and a tiny bit greedy with a slight superiority complex but she is quick to be put in her place by Wilorin reminding her that she is still a child and can't make demands with a reminder of who makes sure she and her group still have food and shelter for their work.

Jeivanni Male A pirate through and through, his infamy comes from reckless behavior raiding ships coming to and from Gahliarch, outmatching even the best of the naval fleets and racing the sailors of the Island of Rhes in playful competition. Jeivanni is not often one to do things for others, indulging in selfish endeavors as they are known to work with the highest bidder for their time. A natural scallywag and flirt, they have no real honor and are often reprimanded for their short sighted goals and needs. However underneath most of that Jeivanni does have genuine interest in ensuring Gahliarch and its citizens have a better future, not necessarily the Magai but it falls under the same category, but they have never had much opportunity other than pirating off of Gahliarch’s nobility to do anything, so he is interested in helping by being the one to secretly bring Eowulf and Sigunn from the Island of Rhes back into Gahliarch for the start of their revolution. Although he tends to cover that interest in sloughs of self praise and saying he simply “wants to go down in history”.

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.

The higher you rise, the harder you fall…

It was saying that you were familiar with— an old friend just like the bitter taste on your tongue— as you stare out at the city that used to revere you. The city that used to look towards you in their time of need.

You were their champion….

Their hero…

Now you’re nothing but a husk— a shell— of what used to be.

Their cheers turned to screams as your world crumbled around you; by your own hand. Friends and family turning to enemies and enemies turning to something else.

All because of the saccharine sweet voice telling you that this was the only way to save them. To beat the evil that was coming you had to become something other than yourself.

But could you truly tell where the fabrication ended and the real you began?

Or have you lost everything after all…

Travel the Path of Redemption or fall to the Path of Corruption; each offering unique experiences for your MCs. Will you follow your own conscience after so long? Or will you succumb to the whispered wishes within your mind?

Remember: living is not just about surviving.

Lucian/Lucia Knight - The Mirage [M/F]

32 [6’2” | Emerald Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]

“You think that sorry is going to fix everything? You destroyed everything that we built together! Everything that meant something to us you turned to rubble. Sorry isn’t going to fix this. Not this time.”

You hadn’t expected a warm welcome upon seeing them again— after all the divorce was still fresh on both of your hearts— but their detached tone, emotionless stare, and mirthless laugh, struck you harder than you thought. You were so used to playful quips, gentle humming before they swooped in for a kiss, and now it was like you were looking at a stranger. You couldn’t imagine how they must feel looking at you now too.

Isaac/Isabella Hayes - The Blaze [M/F]

31 [5’8” | Hazel Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

“I used to think that I knew you but that all changed the day you turned your backs on us. You don’t do that to people you care for and you definitely don’t do that to family. I-I just don’t know what happened to make you do what you did.”

Your best friend— for as long as you could remember— that has never looked at you with anything but laughter in their gaze; even when you were going through your worst fights. Judgement. Hatred. Would have been better than the look they’re giving you now; confusion. They’ve never questioned you before— always believing in you completely— but now they can’t do anything else.

Kieran/Kiera Prince - The Hunter [M/F]

31 [6’5” | Sapphire Blue Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]

“I’m surprised to see you again, sweet thing, I didn’t think you’d ever come back to my neck of the woods. What is it now? Do you want to arrest lil’ ole me? No, you wouldn’t have that look on your face if you did. You need my help don’t you? Come now, sweet thing, spit it out, I want to hear you say you need me.”

A villain that you’ve met multiple times within your years of crime-fighting. Sharp intelligence being hidden behind cocky smiles and flirtatious quips— that can be quite as disarming as the weapons they carry— but one must never lose their senses around them: it may be the last thing you ever do. You may not like calling on them for help but you need everyone you can get in this fight.

Harry/Harley Adler - The Roommate [M/F]

30 [5’5” | Light Brown Eyes | Auburn Hair]

“Do you think you could have told me you did all of this before we signed a lease? What am I supposed to do if you die and the lease isn’t fulfilled yet? So, I guess what I’m saying is, don’t die, ‘kay? It wouldn’t be good for anyone.”

A semblance of normalcy in your otherwise hectic life— with a soap opera addiction and cookie obsession— they’ve been one of the only bright spots you’ve able to look forward to. Especially since they seem to have no idea of who you used to be; small blessings, you suppose. Their horrible puns, sarcastic retorts, and caffeine fueled rants, are something that you’ve cherished greatly.

???? - The Voice [M/F]

“I see everything, dearest one, I promise you salvation if you heed my words. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to protect you. Nothing I wouldn’t do to keep you.”

The voice you’ve been hearing within your head for the last two years. You don’t know where it’s from— or why it appeared— but you get the feeling that there is more to it than you simply hearing things. Visions— or nightmares— coming to you while you sleep adding to that conclusion; a gentle touch turning fiery as you awaken with a gasp. You just don’t know what to do with the burning sensation they awaken within you.

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.

Hillvale

after your grandmother's passing you decide to move to hillvale, a coastal university town in the southwest of england. the good news? you've been accepted into one of the best international business masters programme in the country. the bad news? you are in desperate need of a job as a way to fund it. on your way to class you stumble upon a strange old house with a hiring sign on the door. deciding to go in you are met by a peculiar group of individuals who unveil the world of the supernatural world to you and reveal that they work with a supernatural agency to keep supernaturals from harming humans and vice versa. out of curiosity you decide to join them, and they do pay a decent salary for a "part time" job; you could honestly do with the money. perhaps all those strange visions you've been having since you were little wasn't you going crazy after all. i mean if the asda version of hulk exists, then anything is possible right?

ro descriptions

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: 

Detective, your previous endeavours working for us have proven your capabilities are beyond measure. I trust that you will take on this assignment with a clear head and complete censorship: no one other than your appointed team shall know about your endeavours. I fear that if this operation is not pulled off smoothly, the world shall be in the hands of evil. Best of luck.

SYNOPSIS // CASE BRIEFING

I assume you remember the extensive effort our best personnel put into neutralising the leader of DODGE, Viktor Madsen, back in 2018. We were successful in our operation and DODGE fell silent: we kept an eye on them and heard nothing, assumed they had disbanded. Just a week ago, our cybersecurity professionals started reporting strange activity throughout the city: data leaks, an influx of online propaganda, dark web trades almost tripling in a week- it has DODGE written all over it. We already have professionals working to disarm any cyberterrorism threats they send our way, dealing with DODGE as a group is manageable, its the mastermind behind it all that we must neutralise: that is where you will come in. 

On Wednesday night, Viola Springs police officers brought in a young woman by the name of Lola Raith. Miss Raith was arrested for aggravated assault, but our attention is on the DODGE branding she has on the back of her neck. We confiscated her mobile phone and personal laptop and have found condemning information about DODGE that is concerning at the least. From what we have gathered, DODGE has been taken over by someone going by ‘Echo’. Echo has instigated a new regime to DODGE, planning on dividing their efforts between cyberterrorism and drug distribution. They have been advertising a new age in their outstanding propaganda: ‘The Soul Harvest’.  This ‘Echo’ individual has made formal threats to those holding Raith in custody, promising ‘catastophic resistance’ if she were to be charged. This leads us to believe Miss Raith is someone that Echo holds close: you are going to take advantage of that. 

Currently, we have no information on this new drug being pushed by DODGE, and it may be dangerous. This, alongside your close proximity to DODGE members on this operation, is why I have assigned you a small team that you will be working with to take Echo, and the whole of DODGE, down. Good luck. 

THE ROMANCEABLE CAST // PERSONAL FILES

ECHO: the mastermind. [M]

Unfortunately, all we know about Echo is what we have gotten out of Miss Raith so far. She has let slip that he is male, and an indirect heir to DODGE, once working below Viktor Madsen: the depth of their relationship is unknown. The small amount of communication we have had with Echo has told us he is dangerous and willing to take action against us. He used to write political thesis’ under the username “ECHO_CHAMBER” , but any connections to his old doings have been fried. He seems to hold Miss Raith close in relationship, whether they are romantically involved or not is unknown- we have confirmed that they are not related in any way. The last known online appearance he has made was two weeks ago, where he distributed a string of propaganda idolising “THE SOUL HARVEST” which we think is the first step in his new drug push. He made direct contact with us via an untraceable phone call on Thursday demanding we free Raith from custody, otherwise we will face ‘catastrophic resistance’ from him and his respective peoples. You are to stop at no ends to find this man and bring him back to us: dead or alive. 

LOLA RAITH: the devout follower. [F]

Miss Lola Raith was arrested after assaulting a known drug dealer on the outskirts of town. When police arrived to the scene, responding to a witnesses call, Lola was still assaulting the man, who is recovering in hospital for the time being. Talking to him may give you an idea of what happened. Raith has faced questioning these last few days, and has shown to run her mouth just a bit too much. Slowly but surely we are straining information out of her, she has refused the counsel of a lawyer, which is strange in itself. Lola’s computer was searched, and encrypted chatlogs were found where she talks to multiple other people about “getting excited for the new drop” and arranging multiple get-togethers which we are monitoring closely. Lola being taken into custody has been a silent matter, so how DODGE knows about her arrest is unknown so far. You and your partner are going to take charge of interrogations from now on. A dossier of information will be on your desk tomorrow, I advise you read through it and learn her mannerisms before talking to her. She is your first step to dismantling DODGE. 

TOBY KLEIN: the communications expert. [M]

I understand that you and Toby have worked well together in the past, I even remember him referring to you as his ‘best friend’ so I am putting you two on the same team in the hopes that your chemistry will boost our findings. He will act as communications expert: guiding you on operations and finding out what he can about the cyberterrorism aspect of Echoes operations: you and your partner will be working in tandem with Toby, but be focusing on his drug push. Toby will not be working in the field with you and your partner: he is to stay off the grid at all times. Klein has proven to be competent in his communications, although sometimes he exhibits childish behaviours and unfocused characteristics: please keep him on track. This is a serious operation that could harm many, I do not need the terrible two fucking things up. 

ALEXIS HAYES: your partner. [F]

I understand that you and Detective Hayes have formed some sort of rivalry over the years working for us: I wouldn’t put the two of you together under any other circumstances, but the two of you are my most competent detectives and I will not tolerate any dispute between the two of you. Detective Hayes will act in equal to you, her strong personality and ability to make people talk will aid you in interrogations: she is self-sufficient and hates DODGE almost as much as I do. She was also playing a minor role in the takedown of Viktor Madsen, so her knowledge of DODGE is advanced. Along with that, she has served on the DEA as a special agent, and her knowledge on streetworks and current drug circulations is crucial to this operation. Play nicely. 

SAILOR ANG: the undercover design ops. [NB]

Mx Ang is going to be the backbone to your undercover endeavours. They are a skilled makeup and SFX artist, alongside a textiles genius and the storyteller of a lifetime. Any new personalities you may need to don will be given to you by Sailor: they will also train you with new accents and increase your recall in order to remember specific details about your new personalities. Mx Ang is the only person outside of the force that can know about this operation: they are being compensated very kindly for their silence and will be available at any time necessary in return. Mx Ang is a sweet person, but don’t be fooled: getting on their bad side is a death sentence for yourself, and we need you alive. 

FEATURES 

This operation is going to be tedious. You’re going to perform interrogations, go undercover alongside your partner and try get in with DODGE. Attend parties for information, choose who you’re inviting home for the night and even pursue romantic relationships with the cast. Don’t get distracted, though: you have an evil mastermind to catch. Just don’t fall in love with him, that would be detrimental to this case…

—Make choices that will impact the ending you get (there are a few!).

—Learn more about DODGE, and their new leader, Echo. Decide for yourself whether they’re really as bad as the force thinks: maybe their agenda is the one to push?

—Play as your truest self: customise your appearance, personality, gender, preferred pronouns and sexuality! Inclusive customisation options are also here, depict whether your MC is trans, or if they wear a hijab or experience body dysphoria/dysmorphia. 

—Decide your approach when it comes to questioning suspects and confronting DODGE yourself: are you going to play bad cop, good cop or convert to DODGE’s ranks altogether? 

FINAL WARNINGS: 

The Soul Harvest is a story that contains strong depictions of drug use, violence and sexual themes (although skippable) strong and upsetting language is also prevalent in this story, and I advise you to read at your own discretion. 

Due to the optional sexual endeavours portrayed in this IF, it has been rated at 18+.

THE STORY

It all started in the summer of 2022, when a small asteroid crashed in a secluded part of the woods. The asteroid itself didn’t pose a threat. In fact, it was fairly small in size and had shrunk even more during its fall. It’s what came with it that changed the lives of the city residents forever.

A virus.

A virus that had peculiar effects on people. A painful transition period. Some survived. And were left to figure out how to get accustomed to their new abilities. Others were not so lucky. When the transition became too painful to handle, death claimed them. Only a few people knew the true nature of the virus. The rest of the city only ever knew of it as a horrible contagious disease. Thus, the city went into lockdown for a couple of years. Until the scientists found a cure and the deaths started to decrease.

Of course, it isn’t really that simple. After all, we never really know what happened behind closed doors. For one, there are the effects that the virus left behind.

Such as…

…being able to read minds, people’s senses becoming unnaturally developed, abnormally fast healing, super strength, controlling objects without touching them…

Things like that…

FEATURES

Choose 1 of 12 super powers. Or don’t :)

Choose a university major (the list is made according to the story, so I could not include many choices).

Customize your character: choose your pronouns, gender, sexuality and so on.

Choose where you live (suburbs or city) and who you live with (alone or with family). Because… why not?

Choose your friends, enemies, lovers.

Speaking of lovers… If you wish to, you can romance 1 of 6 love interests (2 male, 2 female, 2 gender selectable). 

Meet the residents of Oak Street.

Don’t trust easily.
