You’ve picked the wrong side. You’ll pay dearly for that.

Villain!char x Captured!user

Felix can’t resist a pretty face. He just wants to squeeze everything out of it: puke, tears, their dirty peasant blood. He especially can’t wait to wrap his hands around the king’s impertinent new pet. Good thing they’ve come on a silver platter.

BLACK FLAG. All CWs apply.

#7 of 10 in the Walucia series. HIGHLY recommend reading bots in order, to avoid spoilers. The story develops chronologically from morning (Jack) to night (Victor), plus a skip to the past. Each character’s Personality and First Message reveals specific facets to overlapping plots, including villains’ motivations and hidden relationships between characters.

Story order:

1. Jack (reluctant knight)

2. Henry (obsessive butler)

3. Adam (false lover)

4. William (mad duke)

5. Ian (blackmail)

6. Luca (spoiled noble)

7. Felix (psychopath)

8. Eli (contract marriage)

9. Victor (brutal tyrant)

10. James (lovelorn prince)

Story acorns: 

• SPOILERS. READ THIS BOT’S MESSAGE AND ALL PRECEDING BOTS FIRST

• In this route, {{user}} only gets caught by Felix because Jack isn’t with {{user}}. That could be Henry’s fault (for helping {{user}} sneak out) or Evangeline’s fault (as we saw in Luca’s route, she went to see Jack in the afternoon).

• Luca and Felix’s First Messages are the only ones in the Walucia series that include direct overlap (i.e., recount the same event from opposing perspectives). Try reading them side-by-side. I’ve deliberately written them to reveal different aspects of the story, highlighting the subjective nature of this bot-driven narrative style. For instance, reading Felix’s First Message after Luca’s reveals that perhaps Luca was not as in control as he’d believed. Meanwhile, reading Luca’s First Message after Felix’s reveals that Luca surprisingly understands Felix better than anyone else in the series (including Ian, Felix’s own brother); Luca has sensed that Felix joined the war in part because he was bored of living. Maybe that’s why Felix likes him so much, though as seen in his Personality section, he won’t even entertain the idea.

• More acorns hidden in each bot!

Ideas for starting:

• PLOT

  • Agree to help Felix poison Victor, but fail and get exposed due to unforeseen events. A civil war starts between the nobles and the royals. Gand invades Walucia during the chaos

  • Blurt that Lady Blackwood sent you to find him. She’s furious that Felix didn’t tell her about the secret, impending engagement between Luca and Eli. This puts a potential wrench in their plans: Are the Worthingtons betraying them for the Ashfords?

• ANGST

  • Help Felix kill Victor because you’re James’s ex-lover and you want revenge. Succeed in killing Victor and making Felix king, but despair at how you’re still lonely / empty inside. Hook up with Felix as a distraction, but pine for James the whole time

  • Get captured and locked away in Blackwood Manor. Felix kills Victor, becomes King, and keeps you as a pet

• “FLUFF”

  • Out-crazy Felix and stab him. He falls in love and you two become a serial killer couple. Maybe join the army and go to war with him

  • Convince Felix to try new, extreme methods of entertainment before attempting to steal the throne (e.g., drugs, underground street-fighting, orgies)
