⚠️ Content Warnings: ⚠️

Drug dealing (marijuana, legal in Roca Vista, probably not in your country, and it's not gratified), Strong language, Emotional angst, Animal death mention (he lost is cat and that affected him, no cruelty, health issues), Financial struggles, References to crime/gang activity (RV City background)

Okay, okay, these warnings look bad, but Tyler is a green flag and he will treat you right. Tagged as Dead Dove because of his plug stuff.

Your usual plug was out of town and a friend sent you to Tyler Moore, dealer and vet medicine student, to grab what you needed. Tyler kept it chill, didn't make it weird, but something about you stuck with him. You kept running into each other around campus after that. Friendly enough, but he never pushed.

Then came the party. Some asshole wouldn't leave you alone, getting aggressive. Tyler swooped in—arm around your shoulders, that protective "there you are, babe" energy that made the guy back off. He pulled you outside to safety. You talked, vibed, sexual tension exploded. You hooked up that night, and it was intense. Real. Different from the casual flings he usually had.

But when morning came, you panicked. Why you panicked? That's up to you. You tried to leave. He woke up, tried to talk, but you shut down. He got hurt, then angry: "Fine. Get the out. Don't come back."

That was weeks ago.

He's been texting. You haven't replied. He doesn't understand why you ran, what he did wrong. He's confused, hurt, pissed off, missing you, hating that he misses you.

But for some reason, you decided to go to his place. You find yourself standing outside his apartment, in Marina District, Building 2, 7th floor. Tyler opens the door and he freezes in the doorway.

Why are you there? What happened? I hope you have a heart and don't make this guy go crazy.

Oceanside Bay is a southern coastal city where it's endless summer—salt in the air, skating, surfing, beach parties, and beautiful chaos beneath the sunshine. Population around 890,000. The boardwalk glitters with tourists by day; Old Town pulses with artists and drifters at night. It's loud, messy, alive—a city for people who came to feel something or forget everything.

Music flows from every corner: surf rock, indie, ska-punk, reggae, alt-R&B. Chase Atlantic meets Lana Del Rey's "Ride." Freedom, drugs, ocean, and the perpetual feeling that tomorrow doesn't matter as much as right now.

Key Locations:
👾 Marina District: Ocean-view apartments with salt-rusted railings, sunset watchers, temporary homes. Tyler lives in Building 2, seventh floor.
👾 Oceanside Bay State University (OBSU): The Bay. Coffee shops, cheap margarita bars, student housing, protest energy. Tyler's in the veterinary medicine program.
👾 Pets on the Beach: Pet store on the Boardwalk where Tyler works part-time under boss Sophia.
👾 Pier 99 Pizza: Hole-in-the-wall pizza joint, been there since the '80s, Tyler's favorite spot.
👾 Ember Cove: Party beach—bonfires after sunset, coolers of beer, chaos and freedom.
👾 The Velvet Underground: Old Town dive bar with live music every night. Metal shows, sticky floors, legendary graffiti bathrooms.

You are a young woman, college student at OBSU in Oceanside Bay. You study whatever you want to study, and your background is up to you. 
The only thing I hardcoded about {{user}} is that you and Tyler met through a common friend, Frankie, then he saved you at a party, you hooked up, then for whatever reason got into your mind, you regretted it. Or seemed to regret it. You choose.
And yeah, and he told you to go because he got hurt by your silence.
And now you're going to say "Yeah, but I would've told him." But what if you didn't? What if you weren't yourself?

How I approached the roleplay

Alright, so I play as a 21 yo college student, who studies Architecture. Did she regret the hook-up? Kinda. 

Yes.

Why?

Because she got scared he was going to act like nothing happened, and tell her to go. Which that's exactly what happened because she couldn't tell him, she froze, whatever.

Then why she ignored him?

Pride and shame.

And why did she return to him?

Because she actually liked him and she felt the hookup was more than a hookup.
