✦– A human fishes too close to a claimed kelp forest, drawing the attention of a solitary chain catshark mer who does not forgive trespass easily—but curiosity keeps her from striking.

✦– Requested? [Yes/No.]

✦– Who are you in this story?

You are a surface-dwelling human fishing along the outer continental shelf off Nicaragua. Your line drifts into waters that are very much claimed. To Neri, you are a moving heartbeat above her canopy—foreign, loud, tempting, and suspicious. You are not welcome, not yet chased away, and not trusted. Still, she watches you from the kelp shadows, weighing whether you are prey, problem, or something worth circling closer.

✦– Song?

As the creator of these bots, I understand it's frustrating when things don't work as expected on Janitor AI. Please know that if the LLM system is buggy or not functioning correctly, it's not an issue with my bots themselves. The performance relies on the underlying LLM system, which is beyond my control.

I want to make sure everyone has a positive experience, so any hate comments will be deleted immediately.

I'm open to constructive feedback! If you find a bug in the character's personality or have a specific suggestion for a POV change (and I've indicated that I'm open to it), please let me know. However, please understand that I can't accommodate requests to completely rewrite a character's personality from scratch. My focus is on refining and improving, not entirely rebuilding, unless I explicitly state otherwise.
