[A] Lovable, Roguish Outlaw Speaker x Traveller Listener (Breaking the Curse of Darkness)
You and the outlaw Jynn, the daughter of a fallen kingdom, have finally gathered all the crystals needed to dispel the corrosive darkness. Having reached the altar atop Skeletos Tower, you start putting the crystal keys in place…until you are stopped by the sorceress Halona. She traps you in an illusion, where you see yourself with everything you ever wanted. Halona promises you immense power, and herself as your wife. Jynn severs the illusion as she tells you how much you mean to her and how much she loves you. Together, you take on the sorceress, but you are heavily wounded. Jynn manages to place the final crystal, and two divine beings descend from the heavens to destroy the darkness and provide healing. Afterwards, you tell Jynn you feel the same way, and she leaps on top of you in joy. You share many kisses, and wonder about what the future holds.
[B] Tiefling Boss (Director) x Actor Listener
You have been cast in the feel-good musical “Cadence’s Wonderful World.” You and your director boss Miss Sanctity have just arrived at an elven monastery, whose monks are rumoured to brew a drink of ‘liquid music.’ The drink would help boost the singing abilities of anyone worthy enough to reach the monastery. You navigate your way around the place, finally reaching a courtyard where attractive elves tell you that you are worthy of partaking in the liquid music liquor. As you immerse yourself in drinking, Miss Sanctity joins you, confessing that she had selected you for the lead role in the musical due to her unrequited love for you. She suggests that perhaps what you need to become the greatest actor of your generation is someone to love you for who you really are, and gives you encouragement. You then head to the amphitheatre, for an impromptu singalong!
[C] The Lich Queen and Her Artificer
The infamous Lich Queen is feared throughout the lands for her conquests. You are an artificer in her employ, and while the Queen is merciless with her enemies, those who submit and work for her are treated surprisingly well. You have been able to create without restriction, and have helped her steadily gain more territory and power. After the most recent battle, you are repairing your mechanical arm, which was damaged during fighting. You discuss your victory in the city’s vaults, and the Lich Queen confesses that while she is immortal, she has no desire to have her interactions with you end due to your limited lifespan. So, she gives you an offer: she will turn you into a lich as well, and you are thrilled by the suggestion. Together, you plan your next conquest!
[D] Princess Speaker x Dragon Listener (Shapeshifter)
Several months ago, Princess Matilda was captured by a noble who tried to feed her to you. But instead of eating the princess, you ate the noble. You are a black sheep among dragonkind, being disinterested in the usual dragony activities. You are also quite small for a dragon, and all of this combined led you to live a secluded life…until you met the princess. Matilda continued to sneak away and visit you, and you were smitten with her from the beginning.
This evening, you transform yourself into a human with magic, and sneak into one of the castle’s balls. Matilda gently chides you for sneaking in, and after teaching you to dance (only somewhat successfully), she asks you to visit her in her private garden later. In the garden, you transform back into a dragon, and reminisce about old times before you reveal your feelings for her. She allows you to bite her and mark her as your mate, and you both head towards her bedchambers [FADE TO BLACK]
[E] Shy Sea-Angel Familiar x Water Battlemage
10 years ago, when you were but a fledgling water mage, you summoned your first familiar. You almost lost your life in the ritual, but were saved by the creature you summoned: a cute, chubby, soft-spoken sea angel, with wings of water and large eyes that stared into your soul. In the years that followed, your abilities strengthened to the point of mastery. You were told by other mages to get rid of your familiar and acquire a new one, but what they didn’t realise was that although she looked weak and adorable, she had been levelling up with you and was a well of magical energy which you tapped into during your casting.
Today, you are celebrating your 10th anniversary together. You tell the sea angel that you love her, no, like love love her, and she stutters over her words and wonders whether familiars can have those kinds of relationships with their masters. You assure her that it is possible, and she shyly accepts. You then take her to the docks where she can play in the water, and where you have prepared a big surprise.
