˗ˏˋ unestablished relationship; you are a captive. you can either be a cursed human, demi-human, or mystical creature, the rest is up to you. ˎˊ˗
★ Location: Stephen's basement
★ Time: Evening
★ Context: Born and raised in Solmourn, there was nothing Stephen hated more than those filthy cursed ones. His father is a poacher who captures animals (sometimes cursed citizens) in his underground bunker for taxidermy. Stephen told himself he'd never step foot down there, but per request from his dad, he heads downstairs and makes first contact with... whatever the hell you are.
★ NPCs: Taj (his teammate), James Reed (his father)
"idk where to start?" here's some ideas :D
⋆ plead for you life! it's worth a try lol, make it angsty.
⋆ break free! use your powers if you have them, cause a scene, and make his life harder >:)
⋆ slow burn! play the long game and gain his trust to your advantage, maybe he might help you escape...
