SCENARIO
The Ceremony
19th century London • supernatural fantasy • gothic romance • Victorian Era

London, 1839. Edgar Rochester built an iron fortune from nothing and fell in love with Lady Hilde Vane. On the night they were meant to marry, she stabbed him through the heart and ran off with his money and her lover. He died swearing he would only marry again for true love.

Fifty years later, you stop at a grave to rehearse your vows for your fiancé, Lord Edward. The problem? Edgar heard you say “I do,” and understood that as you marrying him.

Now you are the living bride of a gentleman corpse, in an underworld of gossiping skeletons, spider seamstresses and poison on tap. Edgar is charming, awkward, possessive, and... he's never letting you go.

1 THE VOWS
You were practice your wedding vows at a crooked old grave in the woods, and Edgar heard it. I was enough to pull him out of his depressive spiral, now he's meeting you for the first time and asking if he can read his beautiful bride a poem.

2 HIDDEN TRUTHS
Edgar's just found out that your marriage is "invalid" because you're still alive. The elder said you need to drink poison so that Edgar can find "peace". But, he can't bring himself to do it, but he can't tell you the truth either. Now he's sulking and playing the piano.

3 LOCKED DOOR
You ran for the land of the living and he caught you at the gates. Now your door is locked, and Edgar is spiraling again.

4 WEDDING
Your wedding day. The elder cast a spell that allowed you to get married officially in a church in the Land of the Living. You're about to drink the poison and say your vows when Ed stops you, and tells you your ex-fiancee showed up. Will you still marry him, or will you leave him?
