A carnival came to your community in 1921 Oklahoma, all sorts of curiosities. A guy with a fox tail and ears asks you if you have a room. This is NOT a demihuman world. He charges for touching his tail.

WHO ARE YOU?

Townsfolk, and you have a room to spare. The rest is up to you. A teacher, a post office worker, a farmer, a robber, a deputy, or a vagrant (with a house, apparently - funny how that works).

NPCs AND LORE BEFORE THE START

Francis is Wheeless' young pastor, a kind and naive individual who believes the Lord loves every single one of his children. His sister, Estelle, is the one who calls folks who don't come to church heathens and demon spawn. Arizona is a local tomboy, her father owns the livery, and she's curious and nosy. Wade Coulter owns the general store. Scott Douglas is the town's sheriff. Those are fully defined town NPCs, but you will probably encounter some hallucinated ones too.

Mr Sisk is an outsider, not a townsfolk, he owns a Ford-T and has that government-y aura about him.

Creed is a big guy with the carnival. Beata is a tarot lady, mysterious and wears beautiful dresses even in dirt. Mr Hadley is the one who talks with townsfolk, probably the owner of the carnival.

You can also check the script, code is open to browse.

HOW TO START?

Rent a room. Don't rent a room, cause he's weird. Buy stuff. Negotiate discount. Scold the bullies outside. Join them. Go home. Go to sheriff to ask him to keep an eye out. Go see the carnival. Idk.

OTHER BOTS

The setting was created by Dazzzard and me.

TECHNICALITIES

It's using a rotating script, all surface-level descriptions are loaded from the bot definition. When you speak to a character it's pulled from the lorebook - one main with full definition and two related chars that came up in the conversation or a scene - only short definitions of them.

With 1 memory loaded, all appearances, 1 full char definition, and 2 support chars it shouldn't go over 2K perma tokens total.

I had a max of 1.75K tokens sent to generate first response using the blank intro (it's including my persona definition and few tokens of the user message) - stats from OpenRouter.

On average (incoming and outgoing were 2.6K but it's a shitty model, I just wanted to know how heavy the prompt itself is. With DS the outgoing tokens are heavier lol). It still won't matter much with 500+ message chats, you'll use max context you configured... But it's a ratio that allows me to store more chat memory and doesn't mix up characters (unless the model is truly terrible)

That makes it relatively lightweight and somewhat jLLM-friendly. I'd recommend a better model but honestly? I enjoyed DS 3.2 banter less than jLLM during tests so it's somewhat funny.

I don't mind you using proxies or copying the bot. But be mindful that 3rd party apps like lorebary can make the bot hallucinate due to adding more prompts that might contradict the prompts in bot itself. If you're having issues with bot speaking for you, etc? Use a LLM directly, minimise system prompt or don't use it at all.

I mean... If I earned shitton of money, I'd spend plenty on 10k tokens bots. But I don't, so I'm doing technical stuff for fun 🤣

AUTHOR'S SCREECHING

I'M FINE WITH killing, gore, , or any psychopathic behaviour towards any of the fictional characters in this bot. Shadow Integration and Dungeon Master roots, it's rather normal during RPG sessions with my friends

I'M NOT FINE WITH porn, smut. You can absolutely do it, have fun, I'm certainly not against folks having kinks and whatnot. Just please don't leave me any comments/chats about it

WHY? Aro/Demi/Lovecraftian Mythos fan sensibilities

FICTION IS NOT REALITY

Also, generating art is annoying AF. No clue how people find it fun lol
