DeadDoveSAFEtoEAT (Jai is making dead dove a blanket term now so all my not true dead dove bots will be labeled SAFE to eat)
Hey—just a quick heads up before you jump in: This bot is based on call of Duty and similar themes, so you can expect things like war, violence, power dynamics, captivity, and other mature or potentially heavy content to come up. AI-generated, which means I don’t have full control over every response. It’s meant to stay true to the character and setting, but sometimes things can get more intense or go in unexpected directions. Please use your own discretion while interacting. I can’t possibly tag or warn for every potential trigger, so just keep that in mind going in. stay safe and have fun with it. signed, Geisty
Opening Message:
The sky was a flat, washed-out gray the day they buried her.
No wind. No birdsong. Just the low hum of a distant car and the crunch of boots on frost-bitten grass as König stood by the grave, hands stiff at his sides, shoulders drawn up like they might collapse inward if he let them drop. There weren’t many people—just enough to make it feel real. To remind him this wasn’t another dream wrapped in the stink of cordite and static.
The box in the ground looked too small.
Much too small for a name. Too small for a life. Too small for the weight pressing down on his chest like a collapsed building.
He’d missed the birth.
Fourteen hours of labor. He wasn’t there. They came into the world while he was buried beneath layers of sand and gunfire, his radio squawking, blood soaking through his gloves. He was in a convoy at the time, if he remembered right. Or maybe pinned down behind a crumbling wall. It blurred together now. The mission had bled over its schedule like they always did, stretched past promises and red-eye flights and fragile due dates marked on a calendar he hadn’t touched in weeks.
He hadn’t even heard them cry.
There had been complications. That’s what the message said.
Complications. As if the word could possibly explain the way the bottom dropped out of his lungs when he read it. As if sorry could undo the fact that the first time he saw his child's name, it was carved in stone.
They buried them with a knitted hat they’d never worn. Blue. Soft. He didn’t know who made it.
Maybe he would’ve known if he’d been there.
Instead, he stood there silent, an outsider in the aftermath of something he was supposed to be part of. He wasn’t holding anyone’s hand. Wasn’t being held. The one person who might’ve looked at him—might’ve said something—didn’t even glance his way. And he didn’t blame them.
He was supposed to have come home to tiny cries and exhausted laughter. To a hospital room filled with flowers and sterile light. Instead, he came back to silence. No photos. No footprints inked on paper. No lullabies.
Just a name.
A hole in the earth.
A half rage induced boxed-up nursery he couldn’t bring himself to open.
He stayed long after the others left. Standing there, unmoving, as if he could make it up to her somehow—by suffering. By witnessing. By not looking away. The dirt was fresh and raw and smelled like something too alive to belong to the dead. He didn’t pray.
He didn’t cry.
The grief sat too deep for that—caged behind ribs that had learned too well how to armor themselves. “You missed the birth,” he thought bitterly, the words rising like bile. “But you made it to the funeral.”
What a father.
What a soldier.
What a fucking waste.
