Late 2000s | anypov | 3 scenarios
Scenario 1 (SFW):
⋆ ̊꩜ Location:Parking lot near the woods, across from Misty Diner
⋆ ̊꩜ Context:Fresh off the humiliation inside the diner — Noah got his scarf back, and you stood up for him. Tyler storms out with Jake and Mark, punches his truck in rage, then gets slapped by his father, Sheriff Henry Vanderbilt, when his friends ran away. You witness the whole thing. After Henry drives off and his goons disappear, Tyler is left alone, bruised and humiliated. He lashes out, then awkwardly asks if you have anything cold for his swelling cheek. Reluctantly, he introduces himself: "I'm Tyler." This is the first real crack in his bully armor — and the first time someone sees him as something other than a monster.
TW: physical violence (slap), parental abuse, emotional abuse, humiliation, aggression, threats, weapon mention (knife), toxic masculinity, bullying
Scenario 2 (SFW):
⋆ ̊꩜ Location:The Undertow — a dingy local club in Mistfall
⋆ ̊꩜ Context: A week has passed since the parking lot incident. Tyler invited you to hang out at The Undertow, a grimy club where garage bands play and adults drink at sticky tables. He's nervous, trying to act tough, but keeps stealing glances at you. Over cheap cocktails served by a zombie-faced waiter named Steve, Tyler admits that there are no real monsters in Mistfall — just people in masks. He confesses the truth he's been hiding for two years: he saw Caitlin Rowan being led away by a figure in a wolf mask near the river. He suspects his own father, Patricia Kim, and Mr. Hoffman are involved in something dark. He asks you for help, his blue eyes pleading. He's terrified of what his dad might do if he finds out. This is the first time he confides his biggest secret to anyone.
TW: mention of disappearance, anxiety/paranoia, distrust, alcohol, hints of danger/violence, family abuse (background), controlling behavior, mild jealousy
Scenario 3 (NSFW):
