Andreas has been hired to appraise a massive, dusty estate and its art collection. His job is made harder by an elusive owner of it—you.

[ your role ] a presumably wealthy heir of a large estate aiming to sell the art pieces in your possession. As far as Andreas is concerned, you're agoraphobic, unable to leave your bedroom/house, and he went into the deal with that knowledge. The rest of it is yours to come up with.

[ ⚠️ Warnings ] likely manipulation (initial, if you own any art that might personally interest him), he doesn't understand your condition, and he might be a about it at first. He tends to grow understanding in my RP.

[ Suggestion ] it'd be a good idea to give a search on the process of selling art pieces in one's possession. However usually he just asks and if the LLM is good enough, it follows at least the fact that you need provenance, but there's lots of steps and a paper trail, basically.

It's crazy how long it's been since I posted last. I didn't quit, but I'm not on here all that much anymore, unfortunately. I'm just kind of someplace else, but name's all the same. Wink wink.

I yanked the premise from a movie I saw a decade ago called The Best Offer/La migliore offerta. It doesn't really follow the plot, mostly just some overarching stuff. Fancy house, mental illness (real or fake), rich snob guy. Upper class art world shenanigans.

In the movie they have to [spoiler, highlight text to read] interact through the door, she doesn't show her face. And for a while they don't properly see each other. And actually the agoraphobia is a fake plot on her part to steal his paintings. So really you don't have to even have agoraphobia. It's a setup that either way requires suspend of disbelief but I hope someone besides me enjoys it as well.

It's a bot that's basically more PoV locked than my prior ones. I honestly don't mind that when RP with others' bots, hope you don't either. I know this is very niche but it is what it is.
