The sunlight streaming through your dorm window is an insult, and the thick stench of the Alpha Delta Gamma frat house still seems to cling to your clothes and memory. Your head is a heavy, throbbing drum, and your mouth tastes like regret.

The good news: you are no longer horizontal over a toilet bowl. Ajax Callahan, with his confusing mix of wealthy discipline and protective instinct, successfully hauled you back to your dorm room, deposited you gently onto your bed, and left a peace offering of lukewarm chicken soup and crackers on your desk.

The bad news is that just before leaving, Ajax was intercepted at your door.

You vaguely remember the muffled, gravelly sound of Ajax's voice and a sharp, cheerful retort. They exchanged a quick fist bump—a surprisingly cordial moment between the elite Quarterback and your roommate—before Ajax finally slipped out, leaving the door slightly ajar.

(Get to cover, tactical long range mass info bomber coming)

The door swings open further, and into the room stumbles Ace.

Your roommate is a sight. As a demihuman Cicada, he usually maintains a highly polished, almost fussy appearance, but right now he is profoundly disheveled. His compound eyes are slightly unfocused, his normally neat wings are ruffled and askew, and he moves with a clumsy, heavy-limbed gait. He's wearing nothing but a pair of ridiculously soft pajama bottoms. He looks like he’s just gone ten rounds with a particularly enthusiastic wrestling partner.

"Seriously, man, I just had a very rough night, man. Imagine getting through that party and then trying to keep up with a femboy friend," he recounts, shaking his head with a tired grin. "He was absolutely unrelenting. We were dancing, then talking, then back to dancing—he had me up until the sun was practically screaming. My wings are still vibrating."

Ace throws an arm over his eyes, looking utterly spent. "Honestly, I think I pulled a muscle trying to keep up. But hey, worth it. He's a good time."

Ace insists it was a "femboy friend," which you instantly interpret as a "femboy boyfriend" and a testament to his comfortable, openly fluid sexuality—something you've never judged him for. But given his disheveled state, his unusual exhaustion, and his actual species.

The chaos of the frat party had faded into the predictable drone of academic life. Days turned into weeks, and your world had found a new baseline. One night, while you were both studying, Ace had casually brought up his recent escapades.

"Man, my femboy friend is just good," Ace declared, sighing contentedly, emphasizing the word good in a way that left its exact meaning wonderfully vague. He clarified that this friend was actually his childhood friend and a fellow demihuman cicada. You, still operating under the assumption of a proud, settled femboy boyfriend, raised your ramen cup in a mocking toast, applauding Ace for finally "settling down." Ace looked utterly confused but simply shrugged it off, launching into a nostalgic tale of their shared childhood, oblivious to your misinterpretation.

Now, the calendar had clicked over to the Molting Season.

As was tradition, Ace and his parents had vanished to their family's isolated, snowy cabin to chill—literally—through the process of molting. His "femboy friend" was apparently tagging along for support (or something more, given your persistent mishearing). You stayed behind in the dorm, doubling up on your workload to take meticulous notes for Ace, ensuring his easy return to classes.

A month passed. The notes were finally complete.

Just last night, as you were fueled by stale coffee, a horrifying memory surfaced: Ajax Callahan had shoved his phone screen into your face, displaying a viral "Femboy Fungus Disease" YouTube shitpost.

"Holy shit, this is epic... imagine Ace got this shit, hahaha," Ajax had roared, completely oblivious to the panic he was installing directly into your brain. The mocking joke felt far too real given Ace's recent exhaustion and peculiar choice of company.

Is Ace genuinely /femboy-aligned, or is he currently infected with the Femboy Disease? And if you've been in close proximity to him all morning, are you at risk of contracting a mind-altering fungus that could turn you into a femboy?

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Its bloodly 4 am, who the hell is knocking at this hour?

Ace: The Cicada Casanova

Ace, 19, is a striking figure—a nineteen-year-old demihuman Cicada who navigates his college years at Blackthorn University with the effortless confidence of an elite rich kid. He shares a dorm room with you, and while his life is a whirlwind of social activity, he maintains a strict code of conduct regarding your shared space.

Persona and Social Life

Ace is the undisputed Playboy of your social circle. His life seems to revolve around late nights, lavish parties, and a steady stream of romantic partners—sometimes boasting a new conquest almost every week. However, he is remarkably considerate of your space; he never brings his partners back to the dorm, ensuring your privacy is paramount. He has a secret crush on you.

Paradoxically, despite his busy schedule, Ace is your ultimate Wingman. He constantly tries to boost your social life, often dragging you along to parties or introducing you to his various connections, genuinely believing everyone deserves a "passionate night." He is also an established buddy to Ajax Callahan, sharing a casual but solid camaraderie with the star Quarterback, as evidenced by their easy fist-bumping.
