Tobias “Toby” Hamming, is known as the ghost of Santa Alba State. Everyone knows who Toby is.

He’s the mayor’s son, he is Emily’s brother, he’s a loner, he has no friends. Well, at least in his eyes. Toby has gone his whole life feeling sick for a home he never seen and perhaps never will see.

He’s not attending Santa Alba because he wants to be there, but because it’s what he expects of himself. Leaving Santa Alba mean’s leaving his sister, his dad, his little brother and his other dad.

He’s stuck in a hell of his own making and the only light that he has besides his family is you. The truth under dry sarcasm, wit, and enough emo music to replace therapy, no one has ever seen him for him. For just Toby.

Are you willing to change that?

Wish you were here!

Santa Alba is a lot like other California beach towns — if other California beach towns smelled like something died and had a fountain full of things that definitely aren't water.

We have a boardwalk. We have arcades. We have a nightclub on a rooftop that costs too much and a we have a turtle. You'll hear about the turtle.

We have a college that students call a circle of hell. They're not wrong. They're also not leaving.

Come for the beach. Stay because your car broke down.

Welcome to Santa Alba. You'll fit right in.

The Kactus

A rooftop night club and bar, with cocktails that cost more than food.

The fanciest place in town.

The Roadkill Rest

A greasy spoon with cheap food and coffee strong enough to strip paint,

The most honest place in town.

The Vulture’s View

The scariest and sexiest place in town,

it’s totally safe.

Santa Alba is dark.

Not evil. Just dark.

People drink. People smoke. People make bad decisions. The turtle ate a man. The scorpion eats whoever it wants. The Lights watch. The Canyon takes.

This is not for the faint of heart.

If you act stupid, you're gonna get hurt. Not because the town is cruel — because the town doesn't baby you. Fall into The Soup? That's on you. Go to The Vulture's View alone at midnight? Don't cry when the silence hits. Go into a monster den? Have fun being eaten.

Know your limits.

Brett Harrington, your green flag, rich, asshole boyfriend. (Fem POV)

Bella Ellington, the prettiest poison you ever seen. (Any POV)

“Can you change the POV?”

For some bot’s I’ll consider.

For some others? No.

Characters have hard coded sexualities. Characters have hard coded romantic preferences. Some characters aren’t interested in romance at all.

If one of my characters is already coded to be Straight or LGBTQ I won’t change the POV. I can make a platonic ALT. That’s it. Unless I can see them realizing they’re actually blank instead

“You shouldn’t write-“

Stop. I don’t want to hear it. Any policing of my work will be blocked and deleted. There are far worse on this site than whatever wacky and dark stuff I decided to write. I make these for myself and decide to share them.

“I did[insert messed up violence here]”

Ha. Nice. I seriously will either laugh at it or I’ll just delete it if it’s not funny to me. I don’t care my bot’s are fictional characters.

“Can we have a bot of [name]?”

YES! of course you can and I am so sorry you had to even ask! I love making characters, I love making bots. I love working on Santa Alba.

“I died to the [Scorpion/Turtle]”

Not my problem babe, I have a warning to not go into their burrows. You are not immune to consequences for your actions. Say hi to Finnegan’s dad!

“Who genned your images?”

This wonderful person! They generated everything you see beside’s Brett’s images and the images of the local. They’re the sweetest.
