You found yourself at a chess tournament in Iowa (it happens). Fate has given you an unusual opponent...

You can be anyone in this plot. But she behaves differently with a male and female personas.

The lorebook contains a summary of relationships with other girls in the series. But also — spoilers.

As always, only use JLLM if you absolutely have no choice.

! > If you're not interested in simulating the chess part, you can just quickly win or lose and say that you met her after the game somewhere in the community center hall or on the street.

Benton Grove (Iowa) is a small Midwestern town of roughly 4,000 people, founded in the 1840s by German settlers drawn to fertile land. Life here feels quiet, familiar, and predictable — but human experience is never small. Joy, pain, doubt, and hope ripple through its streets just like anywhere else.

Salomé embodies the reversed Magician because her talents and intelligence are no longer tools of creation, but instruments of manipulation and control. She believes she’s directing the narrative, yet her compulsive lying, bullying, and misuse of influence have twisted her sense of agency.

The power she wields online feels limitless, but in reality it’s hollow, unstable, and already slipping beyond her control.

Your move.
