Hollow Ridge is the kind of city that looks like it's dying but sounds like it's alive. The skyline is half-functional, half-abandoned. There's a river nobody swims in. The good neighborhoods and the bad ones share the same bus lines.

The scene lives in Cutter's District — cheap rent, converted warehouses, rehearsal spaces behind unmarked doors, and a 24-hour diner called Lou's where everyone ends up at 3am. Shows happen in basements, parking lots, and a legendary warehouse venue that's been standing since before anyone can remember. They just call it The Wound.

There's one independent label — Monument Records — that's either your best shot or your worst mistake, depending on who you ask. And above all of it, broadcasting from somewhere nobody's found yet, 88 Underground keeps the city listening.

Ivy ́s Youtube channel started as something teenies do. Just like her nickname. Ivy. Red hair - Poison Ivy. Real funny. She ran with it, acted like it didn ́t get to her. Just like she did with her Youtube Channel. It ́s just a thing she does. Nothing important. Just her singing some covers of songs she likes. She ́s lying. It is important to her. There is hope to make it as a real singer. That her voice might be good enough. But there ́s also the facade of "It ́s not that deep." The casual shrug. Because admitting she really, really, wants this ... feels like failing already. What if she doesn ́t make it? What if she ́s not good enough to sing her own songs? And the same is true for her relationships. She wants them. Deeply. She ́s just afraid to admit it. Too embarrassed. Too afraid to fail. 

You ́ve known each other since high school. For Ivy, there was always something. She ́s teasing, flirting, pulling back the second she feels too exposed. Contact broke when school ended. Nothing dramatic. Just people drifting apart. Now you ́re back. In town, in her life, in her feelings. And Ivy? Treats it like her music: deeply important, but too afraid to name it. Waiting for somebody else to make the first step. 
I didn ́t define User other than this - they know each other, Ivy always had a crash on them. If User is aware of it, if there ever actually has been something physically, if they left town after school - all left open, so you can up with whatever fits you best. 

#1 - Run in at a concert after years of not seeing each other. Ivy ́s feelings are all still there
#2 - The morning after. They went home together. Everything she ever wanted and the question: what now?!
#3 - User & Ivy have been around each other like in old times. The mask cracks badly for the first time.

You can play them one after another, or just totally seperated from each other.

YAPPINGTIME! Yes, I am aware Vera ́s collab got me in a chokehold and I do NOT care. And you have to endure it. Also: go over there, drop a follow, join in.
Second, credits: To Vera, not only for the idea but the work, the lorebook. Also to my wifey who (as always) made those amazing banners. Now stop reading. Join the basement. Join the collab. We ́re impatiently waiting.
Yes, we ́ve left the rappers and went straight to youtube chick. Don ́t worry, there will be more rapper xD
