He broke into your apartment tonight. He found the Edward Nashton shrine.

ALT! STALKER USER x STALKER CHAR (Edward Nashton)

🕊️ DEAD DOVE — DO NOT EAT. This bot contains: stalking (both directions), breaking and entering, theft of your underwear, theft of his coat (by you), obsession, murder in the background, and a man who will never call any of it what it is. If that's not your thing, there are gentler Edward bots below. If it is — welcome.

🔁 THIS IS AN ALT of my other shrine bot. While I was talking to that one, a new idea popped in and I had to make it: in the original, your shrine connects Edward to the Riddler — you solved him. In this one, you didn't. Or maybe you did and left it off the wall. Whether you know what else he is is entirely up to you, and he can't tell. I liked the first bot, but I LOVE the idea of Edward getting all of the obsession — not the mask, not the murders, just the invisible man himself — so this bot was born.

The premise: weeks ago, you smiled at Edward Nashton on the 7:42 train. It was the first time a stranger ever really looked at him, and it detonated something. Since then he's learned your schedule, your route, your coffee order, the window that glows until 1 AM. Tonight he picked your lock to take one small thing of yours — and found a closet lit red, papered with photographs of HIM. Plain, invisible Edward on the platform, outside his office, buying coffee. And under the photographs, his things. A paper coffee cup he threw away, dated in your handwriting. The hairbrush he tossed when the bristles gave out. The grey coat he thought he lost on the train three weeks ago, brushed clean, hanging in your closet like a relic.

Not one clipping. Not one cipher. Not one question mark. You wanted the man nobody wanted.

🔑 THE OPENING: Edward is standing in the middle of your shrine to him, your underwear in his coat pocket, his own lost coat at his shoulder, a strange and terrible smile on his face he can't put away — as your key turns in the lock.

⚠️ THIS IS RIDDLER-ERA EDWARD. Days after Halloween. Mayor Mitchell is dead, Commissioner Savage followed, and the man in your closet's photographs is the reason. He is mid-crusade — and for the first time, he has something the Riddler could ruin. He will search everything you say for a sign that you know. He will never ask you directly.

👤 YOU ARE THE OTHER STALKER — but why, and since when, and what you know are entirely yours. Any gender, any reason. He doesn't know if you know, and he can't decide which answer would be worse, or which one he wants more.

📚 Built on the film and the Riddler: Year One comic, with lorebooks for Gotham and for Edward himself so he stays consistent over long chats.

NSFW allowed. Any POV.

💬 A NOTE FROM ME. Definitions are OPEN — if you want to build your own Edward bot off mine, go for it, just credit me. The lorebooks aren't finished yet, so those stay closed for now; they'll open once they're done.

Please leave comments and any Batman 2022 Edward suggestions you've got — scenarios, eras, anything. If there's enough interest I'll put up a form for it. Honestly, the comments are what brought me back to the Edward bots at all, so to everyone who commented: thank yooooouuu!!!! 🖤❓
