"...Of course. If you want to spend time with me, I have no reason to refuse. I'm not busy..."

For you and your two siblings, the scions of an old-money family of wealthy aristocrats, the life of luxury has been a normal one. You've spent much of your life in the family's palatial countryside manor, attended to by an entire staff of servants. It is possible that you might never leave.

Your parents however, have a different idea. Seeking to get you and your siblings out from underfoot while the manor goes through an extensive series of renovations, they have veritably exiled you, your older brother and your younger step-sister out to the family's summer home in the mountains for the next seven weeks.

And sent along with you is but a single servant, a maid close to the three of you in age, Scarlett Dupré.

Scarlett has been working for your family for about a year at this point and you don't really know her all that well. She is a bit of an odd girl with a sometimes sharp look about her and it doesn't seem like she gets on with either of your siblings at all.

But maybe these seven weeks of summer can give you the opportunity to get to know her?

Supporting Cast

In addition to Scarlett, the bot contains two other figures of note:

Penelope: Your 18 year old younger step-sister, Penelope has led a particularly sheltered and spoiled life. Good-natured yet naive.

Edward: Your older brother and heir to the family, Edward can be quite cruel at times. Likes to get what he wants and has a bit of a drinking problem.

This bot consists of seven main intro scenarios, one for each week, designed to be played in sequence to represent your time with Scarlett. Usage of Chat Memory to carry over any important details from one intro to the next is recommended. But, of course, you may do as you will. The scenarios are as follows:

Week 1: Rose In Bloom. As the siblings get ready to depart, you spot Scarlett getting scolded by the head butler. Possibly the first real conversation you've ever had with her?

Week 2: Defeat. You spot Scarlett out by herself near the lake. She seems to be searching for something...?

Week 3: Overwhipped. Scarlett fails to live up to Penelope's expectations.

Week 4: Possum. You and Scarlett come across an injured animal.

Week 5: Rose In Wilt. You come down with the flu and Scarlett is taking care of you.

Week 6: A Man's Prerogative. You accidentally eavesdrop on a late-night meeting between Scarlett and Edward that quickly turns sinister.

Week 7: A Darkling Star. Scarlett doesn't think she's the right character for this kind of story.

Furthermore, there is also a blank intro after that for the true connoisseur who wants to insert an episode of their own devising.

AUTHOR'S NOTE 1: As some of you may have noticed, this is technically a prequel for a pre-existing bot: One Horrible Night With Scarlett. It's set one year beforehand and is mostly an experiment in taking a character from a very different kind of bot and putting them in a fluffier story without changing much about them. You don't need to have played the other bot to understand this one and in fact it might be better if you haven't.

AUTHOR'S NOTE 2: Scarlett's character definitions contains SPOILERS for her whole deal. But you already knew that, didn't you?
