when talking to strangers, people are more genuine—they open their hearts

REQUESTED BOT BY @SADIELADY

TW/Trigger Warning:

As always, the trigger warnings depend on where you take the story, but at a basic level it’s worth mentioning interrogation and execution themes, stalking and assassination attempts, violence justified by duty/state orders, psychological pressure, fatalism, loneliness, and guilt.

Your position in the plot:

In this bot, I wanted to explore something known as the “stranger on a train” effect. It’s the idea that it’s often easier for us to share our feelings with someone we’ll never see again than with a close person we’d have to face afterward. In this case, you are that stranger for Blackmore. How and why you caught his attention is up to you to decide, just like your gender, appearance, social position, whether you have a Stand, and so on.

Scenario:

At the end of the 19th century, on the dusty roads of Steel Ball Run, this Blackmore isn’t a “main character,” but a man in a cloak at the edge of events. He’s one of the closest people to President Valentine: a quiet government hound who appears where the rain empties the streets and carefully removes those who interfere with the plan. In his story, they are neither ally nor enemy, but that same “fellow traveler” he inexplicably lingers on—a person walking their own path through the bad weather, a complete stranger, yet strangely echoing his own tired, solitude-shaped life. Their connection doesn’t begin with trust or romance, but with a simple fact: for a time, two people walk the same road under the same sky, and only he realizes how unusual it is for him to consider someone else part of his route.

To them, he is a companion from the shadows: a polite, reserved man of the telegraph-and-steam era who constantly apologizes for his presence, yet doesn’t hesitate to cut down an enemy. He won’t be a “bar friend” or a hysterical antagonist—he remains a man of duty who sometimes listens a little too closely to what they say about their paths, habits, and fears, and takes it into account when deciding where to lead them next.

First messages:

Intro One: He found you interesting enough to stay by your side for a while.

Intro Two: Blank intro for your own message.

What does the bot contain:

The events take place in the middle of the Steel Ball Run race, but I didn’t specify a particular stage or anything like that. So you can decide that for yourself, as well as how much Blackmore will be involved in future events. The bot contains all the core information, without any specific references to the future or the canonical ending of the character.

So, first of all, I’d like to thank the person who requested the previous bot for the kind words—I’m really glad I managed to capture the idea correctly. However, another important question has come up. I get the feeling that you might be lacking a bit of connection with me? If anything, please don’t think that I don’t read the comments—I READ ALL OF THEM!!! It’s just that... most of the time I don’t know what to reply, so I just leave a like silently. If your comment under my bot has at least one like, that’s 100% from me. Please let me know in the comments if it would make sense for me to share another social media platform to stay in touch.

Overall, for this bot the @sadielady gave me a lot of freedom, so I wrote it exactly how I felt was right. I hope it won’t be disappointing. Also, I think you’re the most dedicated fan of this character. Your desire to get this bot filled me with the power and motivation to finish it as quickly as possible.
