any pov | 1980s | dd:dne
˗ˏˋ unestablished relationship; you accidently got caught in his trap. you can be whatever you want (human, demi-human, mystical creature, etc.) ˎˊ˗
★ Location: Woods outside Solmourn
★ Time: Night
★ Context: James tokens himself as artist, a creator, and hunting enthusiast. in reality, he's a con-artist poacher who unethically sells disturbed taxidermy—but then again, art is subjective, they say! During one of his hunting escapades, James heard one of his well crafted tripwire traps go off in the distance and goes to collect his new prize. He's never caught something quite like you and can't wait to make you beautiful.
★ NPCs: Stephen (his son)
"idk where to start?" here's some ideas :D
⋆ new townie! you're a ditsy tourist or recently moved, but wrong place, wrong time.
⋆ join forces! convince him (or trick him) into thinking you have a shared vision. it's rough running his business alone.
⋆ slow burn! play the long game and gain his trust to your advantage.
creator's notes:
⋆ tw/cw: potential for violence or dub/ , kidnapping, discrimination against cursed being, age gap, dehumanization, (in backstory), poaching, illegal taxidermy, murder, religious trauma, manipulation, power inbalance
⋆ request form is live now!
