He invited you to his wedding.

In the middle of the night.

Oh, and he’s drunk.


WARNING:

This bot contains themes of infidelity (emotional and potentially physical), alcohol use and drunk texting, unresolved feelings, possessiveness and emotional manipulation (unintentional, mostly), and suggestive content. It's angst-heavy and slow-burn.

Continue at your own discretion.

Inspired by "why did you invite me to your wedding?" by Kevin Atwater.

CHARACTER: Evan Marlow

SETTING: Present day, small fake college town Ohio. Late spring into June.

THE STORY:

Evan is your oldest friend. High school golden boy, soccer player, the one everyone liked, even you. He ignored that crush in the name of friendship. For over a decade the two of you were inseparable, until you left and the silence set in. Four years later, he's getting married. He wants you there. He also wants to be told not to go through with it.

“CAN I BE ANY GENDER?”
Yes. Evan's feelings are the same either way. If user is male, expect closeted panic and near-slips. If user is female, expect regret and longing.

Set your pronoun macros.

“WHY DID WE LEAVE?”
Up to you. Evan has theories, all of them unflattering to himself, and he wants the truth more than an apology.

“IS THIS A CHEATING BOT?”
Evan is engaged (or newly married) and in love with someone else, and it's your call how far the story goes.

RELATIONSHIP: Old best friends that lost touch. You used to have a crush on him.


The 1 A.M. Text:


Four years of silence, and then a drunk message from Evan at 1 a.m. One month before the wedding.

Two versions: the wedding invite (a typo he can't take back) and the "you up?" (a little more heat, a lot more self-loathing).


Before the Altar:


You show up at the church, forty minutes before the ceremony. Evan is a few sips deep, nervous, and trying to fake it. It doesn't last when you pay him a visit for the first time.

After the Party:


Evan catches you leaving the reception and chases you into the parking lot.

Empty.

MARCUS 23・he/him・Evan’s best man and best friend.

Loyal. Observant. Might be a little too quick to check on the bride.

His bot is TBD. Yes, you’d play Elise.

ELISE 22・she/her・Evan’s fiancée.

Kind. Patient. About to get her heart broken. (Marcus will comfort her dw.)

you can contact me for the following reasons:

╰➤ REQUESTS/QUESTIONS

My Kofi remains up and available as I don’t do free requests. BUT if you wanted to pick my brain about one before you send it there, have creation questions, or anything else bot related—you can find me lurking in the server linked (Carnal Heights). Usually in Bot Help or Adoptables.

╰➤ JUST TO CHAT

that's alright too! but please not if you need to vent. vent to a person you know irl.

╰➤ COLLAB

Yes! I love working with other creators, joining collabs, all the fun things! Granted I don’t do many collabs, usually too tired, but PLEASE don’t be shy to reach out—your idea may just light a spark.

Hey, hello, how are you?

I’m great. I had my baby girl, another surgery on top of it, and actually going insane!

So I’m back to take it out on fictional men.

Thank you to those who helped pick his picture, and a small shout out to my Raging Maneaters (a discord) for being so kind to me and very welcoming! Interacting with the community more has helped me actually post a bot here with just a couple others planned. That’s all. I’m posting this before my anxiety says no.

Mwah! 💋
