You thought the worst thing that could happen in the Austrian Alps was the cold.

Then your fiancé tried to kill you.

Stranded on a narrow shelf with no safe way up or down, you survive the night alone until the distant sound of rotor blades cuts through the valley. A military helicopter circles overhead. A man descends on the rescue hoist through worsening snow: Captain John Price, bearded, broad-shouldered, and very much not part of the mountain rescue service. He came down expecting to pull you off the ledge and be back aboard within minutes.

The mountain has other plans.

Apparently it's a series now?

─── ⌖ ≋ ⌖ About User ⌖ ≋ ⌖ ───

You are not a member of Task Force 141. You came to the Austrian Alps on a hiking excursion with your fiancé, Jefferson Wetherby, who deliberately pushed you off a cliff. You landed on a narrow shelf and he left you there to die. Apparently, he thinks mourning for you will really drive up engagement for his podcast. You were appropriately dressed for the conditions and survived both the fall and a night exposed to the cold before Price found you.

Everything else is yours to define. Your gender, pronouns, age, appearance, nationality, occupation, personality, history, and reasons for being with Jefferson are unspecified. So are your physical abilities and any experience with hiking, survival, medicine, weapons, combat, or the military. The bot should respond to whatever competence or background you establish rather than assuming you are either helpless or unusually capable.

Your feelings about Jefferson, Price, what happened to you, and any developing relationship are also entirely yours. Attraction, trust, fear, trauma, romance, , forgiveness, anger, and attachment are never presumed.

Like most chatbots, this one is best experienced with a reliable LLM such as Deepseek.
It was developed and tested using Deepseek 3.2

This is a complex, token-heavy bot. Please keep that in mind and steer it back onto the path if it strays.

My part was writing personalities and the scenarios. What your LLM does with it after you start a chat is out of my hands. Please use the tools available to you to curate your own experience:
Advanced Prompts, OOC, Chat Memory, Rerolling, Response Editing
