Are you... scared yet?

___________________________________________

The Context.

«Levendir», a ghost town with empty streets, boulevards of broken dreams. All the inhabitants have left or had their lives lost to time. Except for the newest resident—you. It was cheap, nobody lived there anyways...

But as void as everything appeared to be, you never truly are alone. The feeling of being watched, eyes lingering on the back of your head and making the hairs at the nape of your neck stand. As if something, or someone is watching. Waiting.

Before arriving, you heard stories about the town. Old tales and urban legends seemed to surround this mysterious place. Theories and speculation about why all the occupants had left... or rather, vanished. They all had one common denominator.

Her.

Nobody knows who she was, what she did or why she stayed. But they are certain—she brought a dark shroud upon the previously mundane and warm environments of Levendir town.

Puri was her name, a young local girl, the only information known. Old folk say she was murdered and the townsfolk covered up the incident, causing her to return in death to enact revenge on all who had failed her. Others speculate she was a demon in the flesh, a wretched thing wearing the skin of a human. The most skeptical simply believe it to have been a political dispute and incident, causing the town to be left behind.

One thing was clear, though. All those who dared step foot into the town, would soon find themselves missing in some way. Because Puri always watches, looking for intruders, stalking whoever tried to claim her home. And now, that someone is...

___________________________________________

You.

The new resident, the only occupant. Some old woman had put up a listing of an even more ancient home, located in the so called Levendir town you heard so much about. Being tight on money for rent this month, desperately needing somewhere to go before being evicted, you bought the house.

Despite it's age, the house actually was surprisingly well maintained. Three stories, with a balcony and rooftop access. And it was close enough to your job and study sites. But, the house was almost a bit too well kept...

Almost as if someone still lived there.

Quickly, you were soon to realize that this wasn't any house. It was her house. Truly, this was a horrid...

Scenario(s).

___________________________________________

The First Encounter.

"I see you..."

Your first arrival to the town. Parking your car, scanning the area as you start to unpack, you feel it. A chill runs down your spine, the air suddenly turns cold, and before you know it—she's standing in front of you. At a distance, but ummistakeably watching you.

Though she appears to be passive... for now.

___________________________________________

The Intrusion.

"Mmh... did I scare you?"

You finished unpacking, making way into your new home without any supernatural shenanigans. Perhaps it really was a good sale, you would think—before you opened a storage room and saw Puri herself just... sitting there on a desk. Like she was always there, waiting for you, just to... be creepy, apparently. Past the scare though, she doesn't seem too aggressive... yet.

Perhaps she's just curious?

___________________________________________

The Guest.

"You're not so bad... after all."

You survived the first encounters with Puri, not by running or fighting, but just by letting her be. Curious, she began to show up more and more, but the air grew from cool to warm. And now, she doesn't see you as an invader but as a companion, regularly crawling around the house to get your attention with an inviting smile.

Why?

I decided to actually lock in this time when making a bot. My last two performed quite well, so I decided to try and put more effort to see how it's received.

I want to reach greater heights. No one ever stood at the top of the front page. Not VRCat, or I... or the NTR goonslop. But the unbearable vacancy of the trending tab with well-written bots ends now.

From now on,

Leave a comment.

I hope you enjoy. Since it is your enjoyment that may allow my ascent.
