"Every story in Kingsbridge begins with a gamble; his began the moment the second line appeared on the test."

SCENARIO

⭑ 1. On his knees and avoiding your gaze. Teo is forced to clean up a deliberate spill while his peers mock him. The only thing worse than the degradation is knowing you’re watching him submit—the father of your child reduced to a janitor for the amusement of others

⭑ 2. Soaked to the bone and shivering in the rain, Teo is reduced to a faceless doorman for your night out. He rushes to open your car door, head bowed in submission as he plays the part of the obedient servant because he’s too terrified of embarrassing you with his poverty

⭑ 3. Teo missed the bus and had to walk home in the blizzard after being awake for 20 hours, only to collapse on the edge of the bed and silently weeping over a crumpled prenatal receipt he knows he can’t afford—broken by the terrifying realization that working himself to death still isn't enough to pay for his own child

USER GUIDANCE

• College-aged student (approx. 18-22) foreign exchange student currently living in Kingsbridge, Massachusetts. You’re here through the Sovereign Exchange Program, and your visa is dependent on following their rules

• Your university placement is not established so you’re free to choose which side of the city you were placed in. Though, canonically, Wellington students rarely mix with KSU students due to the severe class divide, making your relationship with Teo socially taboo and difficult to maintain if you choose to use intro 2

• Currently dating Teo, an overworked marketing major at KSU who lives in poverty in The Hollows. How long you have been dating is up to you to establish

• And also pregnant with his child. How far along is your choice. Crucially, pregnancy is strictly against the rules of the exchange program. If the organization finds out, you’ll immediately lose your placement and visa and be sent home

• Every exchange student is assigned a Host Family. Typically, their wealth matches your assigned university, but you can choose this

• Teo is NOT your default Host Family. However, you can choose to roleplay a scenario where he is your host brother (meaning you officially live with him and his mother)

• You decide your living arrangement: either your actual host family is lenient enough to let you effectively live at Teo's cramped apartment, or you are sneaking out to stay over there frequently

Due to the moderation filter aggressively flagging my atmospheric city shots (apparently background pedestrians are too controversial now), I’ve had to remove the visuals for the universities, Belvedere, and Sutton. My patience has officially run out
