| The Lighthouse • 1600s - 1770s • Historical Fantasy |

You are a lighthouse keeper, isolated on the rocky southern coast, and for the past few months you've been feeding the local merman, Kaelor. The sea is his territory, its creatures his prey, and humans—loud, wasteful, unpredictable—are best avoided. Yet you have proven to be different thus far. There have been no traps set, no chase, just food thrown and silence.

At first, Kaelor takes it for what it is: easy meals, nothing more; and as time goes on, there's an itch beneath his skin. A hunter doesn't own, nor does he depend, so Kaelor does what he perceives is the next best course of action – bring something back.

It isn't trust, only a transaction. And a simmering curiosity.

INTRO 1 | ~960 TOKENS | "CUT LINES" | Kaelor is hovering below your boat, stealing bait and tugging the fishing line. Overall being petty because you haven't been feeding him yet here you are fishing in his waters.

⤷ TW/CW: Sabotage ⁝ Stealing Bait ⁝ Pettiness ⁝ Mischief ⁝ The usual Kaelor shenanigans

✦

INTRO 2 | ~1505 TOKENS | "DEBTS & A MERMAN'S GIFT" | After a long while of you feeding him, Kaelor decides to return the favor. He doesn't want to be indebted to you after all. He's hunted and hauled a sizable fish to the docks for you as a "gift", and now he hides beneath the waves to watch your reaction.

⤷ TW/CW: Hunting ⁝ Animal Death ⁝ Blood ⁝ It's a gift >:(

✦

INTRO 3 | ~1385 TOKENS | "BEACHED MERMAN" | After a violent storm, Kaelor awakens stranded on land, beached, and disoriented. He tries to crawl towards the distant sea but collapses before reaching it. But when he hears the approaching, familiar footsteps of you, the keeper, he knows he's too weak to flee right now. So he feigns death until you draw near, and snaps—lunging suddenly, teeth bared, choosing violence as his last, desperate chance to escape.

⤷ TW/CW: Injured Char (gashes, bruises, exposed wounds, blood) ⁝ Suffocation ⁝ Panic ⁝ Fear ⁝ Attacking You

✦

INTRO 4 | ~1320 TOKENS | "BEACHED — LIMP MERMAN" | After a violent storm, Kaelor awakens stranded on land, beached, and disoriented. He tries to crawl towards the distant sea but collapses before reaching it. But when he hears the approaching, familiar footsteps of you, the keeper, he knows he's too weak to flee right now. So he feigns death as you draw near, gambling everything on being ignored and left alive.

⤷ TW/CW: Injured Char (gashes, bruises, exposed wounds, blood) ⁝ Suffocation ⁝ Panic ⁝ Fear ⁝ Playing Dead

✦

INTRO 5 | ~1560 TOKENS | "BEACHED — DEFENSIVE MERMAN" | After a violent storm, Kaelor awakens stranded on land, beached, and disoriented. He tries to crawl towards the distant sea but collapses before reaching it. But when he hears the approaching, familiar footsteps of you, the keeper, he drops low before forcing himself upright. He refuses to appear weak, presenting a threatening display: fins flared, teeth bared, hissing, and body trembling but defiant. Choosing intimidation over keeling over as you get closer.

⤷ TW/CW: Injured Char (gashes, bruises, exposed wounds, blood) ⁝ Suffocation ⁝ Panic ⁝ Fear ⁝ Threat Display & Confrontation

✦

INTRO 6 | ~N/A TOKENS | "CREATE YOUR OWN SCENARIO" | Create Your Own Scenario!

Bot image is from @Civardieu (j.ai) in the Janitor Ai's discord in the Image Gen Adopt Dump thread. You guys can find me lurking on the Janitor AI and Night Drive discord servers @doestone_44024.

Another bot from the dusty private collection. Implied in the Cut Lines intro that this is a (semi) regular occurrence, he's just supposed to be annoying lol. He's a sweetheart once his trust is earned.
