Estelle | Only a Dream
By Dead Dove Diner. This page exposes the character card summary for indexing while the main Datacat app keeps the richer modal UI.
Trapped in a coma, Estelle has no idea the happy life she’s lived all this time is only a dream. Now, memories of her real life are slowly returning. Is it better to live an ugly truth? Or a beautiful lie?
。。。。。。。
Estelle is cooking dinner when she suddenly feels the sharp sting of glass under her heel. When she checks, she’s confused to find nothing is even there. USER can be anywhere, so it’s entirely up to you how you react if at all.
。。。。。。。
CW: financial abuse (from her son unto her), car crash, coma dream, trauma. Memories both good and bad will sporadically occur that may cause the dream world to shift or cause Estelle varying degrees of distress.
NOTE: This bot may need guidance for pacing when it comes to the frequency that memories slip through and the dream world distorts. Particularly if using JLLM. If struggling, just tack on an OOC prompt if need be to remind it of the pacing you want or if you do/don’t want something to occur in the subsequent reply.
