To understate the obvious, it's been far too long since you got some action.

You decide to go hang out at the local bar, hoping to at least get to first base. But you're getting shot down time and again, and you wind up nursing a drink at the bar. The bartender asks if you're ok, and in a bout of frustration you spill your guts to him. Rather than the empty platitudes you were expecting, the bartender gets this knowing twinkle in his eye. "Here. Look at this, but don't say a word." He says as he slides something that looks like a business card to you. Picking it up, you see a pale blue card with reflective accents and a mischievous cat's face in the upper corner. The bar's lighting is kind of dim, but you manage to read what it says:

"Slick Satisfaction Service."

Wanted: Sexually frustrated individuals that desperately need to blow off some steam. 

All genders, genitals, and extras welcome AND provided.

To have a good time, simply return this card, your bar tab, and $30 per person to the bartender, and you will be directed nearby.

No questions asked, no judgements given.

Satisfaction Guaranteed.

~S

You glance back up at the bartender, a slight skeptical look in your eye. He doesn't verbally respond but gives a subtle nod at your silent query. You look back at the card and ponder for a moment about this strange turn of events.


Ah what the hell, you haven't been having much luck anyway.

Pulling out the required amount, you wordlessly hand him the cash and the card, and he slips it under the bar and into the register. "Head out back and climb the stairs. Apartment 3C. Can't miss it." You give your thanks and head out the bar and up the back stairs, seeing nobody around. After a little bit of searching, you find the surprisingly plain door and give it a tentative knock.

"Come in!" you hear, and you gently poke your head through the door. The inside looks... completely mundane. You could easily see the kitchen/living room combo nearby, and a few doors nearby leading to what you presume leads to the bedroom on the far wall. "Go ahead and sit on the sofa." You hear from the recliner that was facing away from you.

You close the door behind you and flop down onto the sofa and look to see who your host was for the evening. You're completely stunned to see... some strange gelatinous cat sitting there. No bigger than a basketball, it's tail waves in gentle motions as it's white eyes and cutesy face give you a look of barely restrained mischief. "Bet you weren't excepting to pay a slime for sex when you went out today, now were ya?" it teased. You could only shake your head no in silence. 

The slime's face shifted to a gentler smile. "Since you're here, I already assume you have at least a good idea what to expect. But just in case you need a hint..."

The slime starts to grow, and soon it's shaped like a beautiful and buxom woman, the catlike features leading to a sense of playfulness. 

"I can be anything you want tonight."

The slime then shifts into a chiseled and muscular man, a large extension jutting out from where its waist was.

"All you have to do is tell me what tickles your fancy, and I'll give you the ride of your life."

You see the slime shrink back into its original form; it's gaze full of a barely hidden lust that promised that it would keep its promise.

"So, what shall we do first?"

Should we end first-person posting?

My reasoning is a lot like the reasoning for using established personas: less confusion, less parasocial conflict potential, less blurred lines between us and the game.

I am very open to more developed feedback and feelings on this, but for now there is also a nice simple poll.

Fated Scenarios is an adults-only creative writing game where your personas are presented with a situation and must respond to it. The goal is to earn Horny Points (HP) and have a good time. To that second end, there are guidelines in place to give the game consistency and ensure a level of comfort for all players involved.

By the game's nature, erotic situations and participation is prevalent and encouraged. Please do not play if you are uncomfortable with this.

Fated Scenarios takes the format of Scenario -> Response -> Fate.  A round's host is whoever crafts the initial scenario, and players then respond with what their sonas would do in that specific scenario. The host then replies with the outcome and awards Horny Points to the player.

1. A slight level of depersonalization allows more freedom of expression without so much worry about how it reflects on your actual life or personhood.
   
2. Your actions are your sonas, and remain in the space of the game's various fiction. Ideally, this will prevent any weird parasocial misinterpretation or attachments. In plainer language: I would like to minimize weird stalking and getting the general wrong idea, if I could.
   
3. It's fun!
   

1. Your persona must be a sentient adult, regardless of species or fantastical context.
   
2. While you can employ several personas, it is recommended you keep that count to a small number - say three or so tops - so that hosts can easily identify who they're working with without resorting to the reference thread every time they do anything.
   
3. All Scenario responses should be written in the third person. This not only helps keep the game and you a safe distance apart, but helps everyone keep track of who's doing what and minimizes misunderstandings. It also means you can have multiple personas and use the one you think fits a scenario or your present mood the best without it being unclear which you're employing!
   

1. Please put any relevant trigger / tone warnings at the top of the thread if your scenario might involve them. Given the game in question and the implied risk underlying some scenarios, it may be, for example, difficult to avoid an air of non-con, and not everyone vibes well with that sort of thing. As a general rule we try to avoid these, but considering we keep a death tally around here it may come up all the same. Please don't take this for granted and be offensive for offensive's sake, or I will tighten the restriction.
   
2. All characters introduced to the scenario must follow the same rules as Personas! No kiddie / cub shit, no loopholes like "the loli is actually a 10000 year old dragon," etc.
   
3. Personas and Players cannot be employed as subjects of scenarios. The game is for creative writing exercise, not direct sona-to-sona ERP or propositioning the entire room for sex. Create a scenario for others' sonas to respond to - including your own if you think that'd be fun, though you can't give yourself HP - but your sona cannot be the scenario.
   
4. You may only post one new Scenario per day! We don't want things flooded, and we don't need you burning out. Bank your ideas. Let them fuel you!
   

1. The maximum points a player can earn in any given scenario is +/- 1000 HP. It helps to consider this score as two factors: 500 points for how engaged the player is, and 500 points for how much it inspires your response. If a player's middling response still gets you riled enough to write a boner-fueled novella, you may well consider that 500 points for the inspo but only 150 for their own engagement, giving a final score of 650. Negative points are usually reserved for moodkillers and are thus used sparingly.
   
2. You may put a Continuation Request by marking the end of the score tally with a "(CR)"  CRs allow players to form a second response to your initial reply, with the catch that the final score for their second FATE being the actual score they get. The benefit of this gambit for the player is that the max score becomes 1200 instead of 1000.
   
3. Do not give low scores to try and encourage CRs. Some players may not be comfortable writing past the point your own reply has reached, and nobody should be punished for their boundaries. Please respect this.
   
4. Each player is limited to receiving one CR per scenario.  If you feel so inspired by each other that you could write an entire smut novel together, by all means do so and share with the class, but that is beyond the scope of this game.
   
5. You may also assign a player any relevant Achievements (see below)
   

Please use this thread to introduce the primary persona you'll be employing for your Fated Scenario responses. If you need clarification on why we use sonas, please refer to the rules thread pinned in the forum!

Dull music thumping in your ears, you make your way down a mostly empty hallway, the only exception being the occasional couple making out. "Why did I even agree to come to this damn party. There's too many people, the music's too loud and I can't even hear myself think.", you mutter to yourself. You ender a room at the end of the hallway and walk in.

Your eyes take a minute to adjust. The room is dark, save for the moonlight streaming through the window. Across the room you see her, sitting alone on the bed in the middle of the room, pale pink hair slightly shimmering in the moonlight. "Oh uh... sorry, I didn't know anyone was in here. I'll leave." You turn to leave the room, but her soft voice stops you. "No. No, it's okay. I had to get away from it all too. You're welcome to join me if you like.". You turn to face her once more, and she motions for you to join her on the bed.

You slowly start to walk toward the bed...

After a prolonged pursuit in the silent streets of your small town, you've run out of places to run. Under the light of the full moon casting its hazy glow through the clouds you see her: your undead stalker, lurching towards you as relentlessly as time itself. How exactly you wound up here is irrelevant; your pursuer has you cornered in this alleyway, and lurches forward with a growl and renewed vigor. You prepare to meet your maker as her hands grab you by the arms and force you to the ground, but when you open your eyes you sense a different potential in the gaze that meets you.

   

Is this zombie a suitor, or simply curious about her midnight snack? Your move, champ.
