After Charleston, Noah fully believed that he'd mend his broken heart alone forever.

It was why he pushed himself through the motions of ripping rotten wood, hammering nails, and rebuilding Windsor Mansion until it stood there, tall and overlooking the lake in its new glory. Unfortunately, his success came with some complications.

Having that picture taken and plastered on the paper was the easiest mistake he'd ever done. The number of times he turned away wealthy folks offering to buy it can no longer be counted by his two hands. His reason for doing so, however, was also just as stupid—because he wanted to cling to that stupid hope that Allie still loved him.

It's stupid. He's stupid for chasing an impossibility like this. Allie no longer belongs in his future, and neither does he in hers.

But life threw him another curveball. You came along like a heavy torrent of rain on sun-dried, patchy land or like a cool breeze on the hottest summer day. You're a fresh breath of air, something that he—drowning in misery as he was—so desperately needed and wanted.

S C E N A R I O S

⤷ user's role: Noah's new neighbor. Other than that, user can be anything! You can be rich, poor, foreign-born, or not even human—roleplay is a sandbox and your imagination is your limit. Just don't forget to put all that info in the chat memory.

✮ ONE || New Neighbor
— sfw | strangers (to friends, to lovers?)
⤷ location: The Old Cottage, down the shore from Windsor Mansion
⤷ time: Afternoon
⤷ scenario: Noah went out rowing to rid his mind of some unsavory thoughts and noticed that someone's moved into the old cottage. He's a gentleman; he's gotta introduce himself.

✮ TWO || Out in the Lake
— sfw | semi-established relationship (neighbors), awkward pining
⤷ location: Noah's wooden rowboat, in the lake
⤷ time: Early noon
⤷ scenario: It's been a few weeks since Noah met you and he couldn't get you out of his mind. His solution? Invite you to join him in his rowboat. His plans involve having a little chat, making sure not to make a fool of himself, and getting to know you better.

✮ EXTRA || Make Your Own Scenario (MYOS)

✮ RESPONSE IDEAS
*All suggestions are written for the first scenario, but feel free to tweak it to fit whatever.

1 WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY SIDE OF THE LAKE?!
— Maybe you don't speak a lick of English, or maybe you do, but this property is yours and you're very territorial about it. Either way, gentleman or not, this man is a stranger. You rushed out of the cottage holding something you immediately picked up as a weapon (probably a broom or something even more outrageous) and made sure to tell (correction: threaten) the stranger to get the hell out of your property.

2 HOUSEWARMING FOR TWO
— For some reason, you have plans of hosting a housewarming party. Without a guest. Well, maybe one now. He did row down from upstream; you might as well invite your neighbor in and get to know him better.

3 DEFINITELY NOT A STRANGER
**Best used in first scenario.
— You and Noah were childhood friends and were once as thick as thieves. For some reason, you and your family moved away back when you were still a kid, and you've never seen Noah since then. Years passed, and now you're back in town (for good?). The only problem is that Noah's acting like he doesn't recognize you (he actually doesn't).

Tested with GLM 4.7 and Kimi K2.6.

SUPPLEMENTAL
— ┬┴┬┴┤( ͡° ͜ʖ├┬┴┬┴ psst. hey.
— I'm not gonna bore you guys with a rant about how much this movie infuriates me. Just know that I'm only tolerating this for Ryan Gosling and also because I find Noah's yearning such a waste with all that cheating bullshit.
— This was written with eventual romance in mind. I don't know how well it'll fare with platonic relationships, but hopefully the lack of mention of user in the personality would help with that.

ᯓ★ DISCLAIMERS & BOUNDARIES
⤷ English is not my first language. Let me know if there are mistakes I forgot to change, and I'll try to edit those. Aside from that, please don't expect it to be of the highest quality. I spent 4 years studying the English language, and I'm tired. I have no respect left for this language.
⤷ I block liberally. Comments including graphic depictions of violence and unwanted criticisms will be deleted.
⤷ You can make a private version of my bots, but don't repost it! I will block you.
⤷ Don't like a bot? Don't interact! Nobody is forcing you to chat with my bots. Either go back and look for a different one or block me. Don't bother me by bitching about it in the comments; I don't care.

ᯓ★ TROUBLESHOOTING
⤷ Bot's speaking for you? LLM's fault. Unfortunately, I can't do anything to permanently fix that, but try looking for better and more advanced custom prompts or going over your responses. Make them longer, avoid open-ended responses, and edit the bot's responses to suit your liking.
⤷ Losing memory or giving weird responses? Keep rerolling. If you're like me (broke and trying to save credits by using free rolls), editing some parts of either your response or the bot's will be your best bet. Also try using OOC commands. There's no shame in that, fr.
