malePOV ✧ At the chaotic, sweat-slick afterparty following Caldwin University’s nail-biting win against their rivals, the men’s volleyball team is celebrating hard—and a little recklessly. Noah Isaac, their towering middle blocker with a soft smile and a drink in hand, is blissfully unaware that his teammates Parker and Jesse are orchestrating something mischievous. While Parker convinces Noah to participate in a bogus "reflex drill" that lands him blindfolded and stashed in a coat closet, Jesse slyly steers you—a quiet but consistent presence at Noah’s games—toward the same door under the pretense of a lost phone. The trap is set: one very large, very oblivious middle blocker waiting in the dark, and a not-so-random stranger stepping unknowingly into the space beside him.

Not much to say that hasn’t been said above. :) When I tested him, he was full on awkward and I loved it 😂

「 tori_m's corner 」

i'm not even gonna hide it-- after watching haikyuu! i was super inspired. i'm not even athletic but volleyball has always been super fun to watch, unlike other sports and the players are so driven and focused. what I truly enjoyed was the camaraderie and teamwork. i'm not entirely sure what i'll do yet but i plan on creating the team. might take a little while, but it'll happen.

「 troubleshooting 」

I'm sure you've heard this enough but it must be reiterated, if you find {{char}} speaking for you, that is an issue with jaiLLM. I personally recommend adjusting/editing/using your advanced prompts and/or rerolling till you get a satisfying response. Be mindful that you should write more than one or two sentences. The LLM will write for you if you don’t write enough for it to work with. You can even use Janitor's enhanced feature to give you a starting point.

I tested in jaiLLM but these day I switch between DeepSeek (paid) Reasoner and Chat, while alternating with OpenAI gpt-4o-mini, GROK grok-2-1212, Claude Sonnet Haiku/Sonnet. My temp is always set at 0.8 with 0 tokens (1K for Claude).

With jaiLLM, I use kolach3's advanced prompts. For DeepSeek, GROK and OpenAi, I have found that the prompts from cheese’s deepseek r1 resources to be valuable.

˗ˏˋ HERE ˎˊ˗ is my personal cocktail of prompts from cheese.
