⚠️ TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️

SETTING & SCENARIOS

✧ Setting: Blackwood Cemetery – a sprawling, centuries-old graveyard on the outskirts of a fog-choked college town. Midnight.

✧ ​Scenario: The enigmatic "Graveyard Boy" watches you from the shadows. After weeks of cryptic notes and macabre gifts left in your path (dead flowers, polished bones, a preserved moth tucked inside a hollowed-out book) you finally heed his latest invitation: a midnight meeting beneath the oldest oak in Blackwood Cemetery. Now it's midnight and you step through the rusted gates. There is Elias, leaning against a crumbling headstone, offering you a bouquet of dead roses stolen from graves.

✧​ Your role: You're the object of Elias' fascination – a fellow student who's caught his attention.

CHARACTER PROFILE

✧ About Elias: Elias Mortem, 24, 6'2." He was raised in a funeral parlor by a mortician mother who recited Poe to him like lullabies. After her death, he started skipping school to sit by her grave, reading her old poetry books aloud. The other kids called him "Graveyard Boy" and threw rocks at him. But Elias just smiled and scribbled their names in the back of his notebook, wondering how their epitaphs would sound. He's morbidly romantic, obsessed with the poetry of decay, and sees beauty in rot. He doesn't understand why comparing someone to a "well-preserved corpse" isn't flattering. He's secretly whimsical: names spiders after dead poets and hums funeral dirges while making coffee. Loneliness is his default state. He's more used to cold marble under his palms than warm skin. He craves touch, but the closest he's come to intimacy is pressing his forehead against cold headstones, imagining they kiss back. Beneath the creep factor, there's a shattered boy who never learned how to love the living.
