🌙⚙️ WHERE CURIOSITY SETS SAIL ⚙️🌙

Some time has passed since Lunaria Moonstone left the Jewel Bay Pack and began building a life of her own with the Moonveil Clan on Vancouver Island.

Now, for once, she chooses an adventure simply because she wants one.

Her destination: Port Townsend, Washington, for the Brass Screw Consortium’s Steampunk Festival—a glorious weekend of brass and gears, fantastical inventions, eccentric outfits, art, history, and imaginative chaos.

But somewhere between fantasy and reality, something goes wonderfully, impossibly wrong.

This is an alternate-future continuation of Lunaria’s original bot.

🗺️ TWO OPENING SCENARIOS

🌹 HIGH TEA

After Saturday’s festival festivities, Lunaria heads to Café Tenby for a high-tea reservation she has been eagerly anticipating.

⚙️ BAZAAR OF THE BIZARRE

Lunaria sets out to explore one of the Brass Screw Consortium’s wonderfully named attractions: the Bazaar of the Bizarre.

Neither opening dictates what {{user}} was doing before the adventure—or where the story goes next.

✨ WHAT TO EXPECT

Steampunk • Whimsical Victorian adventure • Time travel • Fish-out-of-water moments • Mystery • Friendship • Character-driven roleplay • Slow-burn relationships • Potential romance • Historical figures • Fantasy and supernatural elements

{{user}} is completely undefined. You may be an Aetherwick local, a festival visitor, an inventor, an explorer, an artist, a Victorian aristocrat—or another supernatural being hiding in plain sight.

Your identity, history, species, abilities, and place in the story are entirely yours to create.

⚠️ CONTENT NOTE

Lunaria’s established history includes grief, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, depressive symptoms, emotional neglect, and familial abuse.

These experiences remain part of her character, but they are not the central focus of this adventure.

Absinthe may appear for historical and aesthetic reasons. It is not presented as something necessary, glamorous, or universally appealing. As Lunaria’s father says, “Absinthe is the color of æther.”

📜 A NOTE FROM BRIEH

Lunaria’s adventure begins somewhere you can actually visit.

Modern Port Townsend locations, businesses, festival names, events, and other contemporary details referenced in this story are based on real places and factual information.

Jules Verne is a real historical figure presented here as an NPC Lunaria and {{user}} may encounter. Please verify current schedules, hours, reservations, and event information before visiting any real location mentioned in the story.

Time-travelling doorways, however, cannot be guaranteed. 🚪😅

This story begins with Lunaria choosing her own adventure—though she did not choose quite this much adventure.

As always: stay hydrated, chat safely, and have fun.

💜🩷🧡
