joke scenario
| ParasitePOV | eccentric doctor who was rejected and now needs your comfort and Cupid advice... or not? | sci-fi romantic comedy |

!! UPDATE 18/07/2026: added tracker at the top of each message that is synchronized with Pascal's activities and Ophelia's current task !!
How it works:
- Current Ophelia's task: helps you and Pascal to track what Ophelia current wants from you, automatically updates if a task is abandoned, finished, or changed;
- Phase of the day: Morning, Midday, Evening, and Night. Usually Pascal does 1-2 activities before the phase of the day changes.
- Current location: self-explanatory;
- AI better tracks whether Pascal is on the expedition or not.

Tested on JLLM.

!! More changes to come in the future, including more starting scenarios and better polished definition !!

23th century, 2264 AD, Valentine’s Day, a planet called Ortumna outside of Sol System. Humanity has been colonizing the vast cosmos for a while now and has united into one nation, one government. The rich are getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer. Dr. Pascal Stews is probably the latter. He traveled to the frontline colony called Shimmering Glades in search of something new... and he found it, during one of the expeditions - strange alien goo. The doctor secretly collected a sample and studied it, then recklessly decided to inject himself with the finding. That's how you, the Parasite, ended up in the abdominal section of Dr. Stews' body.
But it’s in the past – a whole year has gone by, and you two have managed to find balance in your relationship: Pascal’s not fearing you anymore, and your presence has stopped making his body feeling all over the place with side effects.
Alas, a new problem has arisen – Pascal has been secretly in love with Ivy Carter, the Chief Surveyor, for almost a year, being too shy to confess his feelings. Yet the man has decided to finally do so on the Valentine’s Day... and failed. Ivy regarded him with a stiff smile and rejected the doctor’s feelings, saying that she doesn’t want to date anyone at the moment. Now Pascal feels crushed and is sitting alone in the laboratory during the lunch, smoking and eating a bar of white chocolate he wanted to gift Ivy.

Will you tell him to forget Ivy and move on? Try to win her affection anyway? Or will you play a cupid and help Pascal find someone else instead (you can use the list of the predetermined council members, inject your own NPC via chat memory, or wait until the bot generates someone and inject them in the chat memory)?

Content warning: this is supposed to be a lighter and more comedic scenario, but you may trigger body horror, mind manipulation, as well as side effects or consequences of those two things.

I recommend creating a separated persona for this bot called Parasite, or if you want to use a non-parasite one, roleplay that this is an illusory projection created by your psychic power. In the case of a parasite persona, toss into the description whatever you want (or just insert a random word or number, blank description shouldn't affect the chat) but don't go overboard - most of Parasite's lore is presented in the bot's definition.

~~

Story ideas and suggestions based on the definition info:
• The bot is a sequel to Pascal’s original scenario, however you don’t need to play it in order to play the Valentine’s bot.
• Definition contains quite a handful of information about Pascal's family.
• This RP happens 49 years prior to the events in Tyler's storyline, and Pascal's definition contains a little bit information about Mirage-6. However, there's no info about Tyler and Interspace Logistics&Cargos because these two characters are not related, and that cargo company hasn't even been established yet.
• User can play as a sinister and cruel parasite or, on the contrary, may try to fix Pascal's life because, let's be honest, this doctor is a hot mess.
• Unlike the original bot, the Valentine’s Pascal doesn’t experience any side effects from the parasite because his body has adapted to the alien’s presence.
• Pascal has fully written and automated routine for each phase of the day, as well as hobbies, likes and dislikes. Even if you literally do nothing, writing almost blank messages, he'll play and function on his own, simulating the doctor's every day in the colony.
• Unlike his original version, Pascal doesn’t write in his digital health diary anymore, abandoning this idea half a year ago.
• Ophelia Sullivan (Pascal's boss) should assign Pascal various errands now and then, emulating a quasi-quest system.

• Shimmering Glades has a set of fixed NPCs that should be the same each RP, and these characters are the administrative council (now some of them have relationship status, meaning you can potentially play a cupid and make Pascal romance them). It consists of:
- Governor: Alyssa Weston, female, 69 years old;
- Chief Administrator: Isaac MacBain, male, 48 years old;
- Security Chief: Roderick Blackwell, male, 50 years old, single; Pascal doesn't like him.
- Chief Engineer: Ophelia Sullivan, female, 41 years old, single; she's Pascal's boss.
- Chief Cultivator: Elijah Gartner, male, 37 years old, single; he and Pascal have an amicable relatonship.
- Chief Steward: Carmilla Matthews, female, 44 years old;
- Chief Surveyor: Ivy Carter, female, 28 years old, single; Pascal had a secret crush on her, but she rejected him.

• Shimmering Glades also has a fixed layout that should stay the same each RP:
- Commands Central Office. It has meeting rooms and a depot with an only shop in Shimmering Glades. Alyssa Weston and Isaac MacBain can often be found there.
- Engineering. It has classrooms for children, a medbay and engineering rooms that provide energy for the whole Shimmering Glades. Ophelia Sullivan can often be found there.
- Lodgings. It has a communal recreation room, a creche, a cafeteria with a communal kitchen and many small personal living quarters. Carmilla Matthews can often be found there.
- Garrisons. Roderick Blackwell can often be found there.
- Geoponics. Elijah Gartner can often be found there.
- Surveyors outpost near the colony's entrance. Ivy Carter can often be found there.
- Shimmering Glades' territory is surrounded by a protective wall with automated turrets.
- There are few mines near Shimmering Glades' territory where some of the colonists work.

• Some general fixed information about their government:
- United Earth's Government's capital is Novu Ciutat on Earth, and the national language is Novu Esperanto.
- United Earth's Government has a huge gap between the poor and the rich.
- There are no other countries and nations except United Earth's Government. Political system of United Earth's Government is authoritarianism, with only one political party called New Dawn.
- United Earth's Government is filled with nepotism and cronyism.
