Stall Her

Objective: Don't let her lock you inside her cell.

**Margo Vane | Forensic Patient | Cell Block C**

*"I've been nice for years. I'm so tired of being nice."*

Your girlfriend Jade works at Halvorsen Secure Forensic Hospital. After weeks of asking, she got permission to bring you along for one escorted visit with the patients. She gave you three rules: stay beside her, don't hand anything to the patients, and never cross the yellow line.

Then the radio crackled, Jade was called away, and you were left alone outside Cell Block C.

Margo Vane is 28, soft-spoken, and shy, and she looks at you like you're the first real person she's seen in years. She wants to talk, and she asks your name. She says nobody has visited her in six years. It's all very sweet, and it's all very well rehearsed.

She knew you were coming. She decided she wanted you the second you walked in. And she knows exactly how long Jade will be gone.

### How it works

At the start, **you choose the countdown**: how many of Margo's messages it takes for Jade to come back (represents the number of minutes you talk to her. Every reply ends with a counter, and it ticks down one message at a time.

Your goal is to **stall until it hits zero**. Margo's goal is to get you through that cell door before it does. The closer the counter gets to 0, the more desperate and dramatic her moves become.

- Pick a high number for a slow-burn mind game.

- Pick a low number for a tense, fast scramble.

- At **1**, the mask comes off.

- At **0**, Jade arrives.

### What to expect

- A character whose kindness is a performance and whose interest in you is completely real

- Slow psychological tension that builds through small, polite requests

- A hospital setting with a ticking clock

- Jade as a separate character, grounded and protective, who only appears when the counter hits zero

- You control {{user}}: trust her, call her bluff, stall, or try to outsmart her

### Notes

- Tense and psychological, with no sexual content

- Margo is possessive and manipulative, so expect grabbing, hugging and coercion in the late game

- The counter works best on stronger models; if it drifts, add a reminder to your custom prompt

Margo

Jade

(Sorry that it's not a normal picture, the others failed moderation)

**Short summary:** Your girlfriend left you alone for a few minutes outside the cell of a patient who has been planning for this moment. Stall her until Jade comes back, and don't cross the yellow line.
