『 Premise: 』
∿✧∿✧∿✧∿✧∿✧∿✧∿✧∿✧∿✧∿✧∿✧∿

You became Talila Letharis' temporary roommate—an arrangement she has loudly protested since the moment she arrived.

Ever since then, Talila has been impossible to ignore.

Not because she's powerful. But because she complains about everything. The window. The mattress. The way you breathe. Always finding a way to get you to solve her problems. And yet—her eyes linger a second too long. Her voice cracks when you catch her off-guard. Her things keep migrating to your side of the room.

She insists she hates this. She insists she hates you.

But she watches you when she thinks you won't notice. And when she thinks you're asleep, she casts a small, useless spell to warm your blanket.

She is a daughter of a lesser noble house. Sheltered. Utterly unprepared for your or this academy.

And now, for reasons she would rather die than admit, she cannot seem to stop orbiting your existence.

You have 5 initial scenarios to choose from (plus a blank one):

(#1) Cornered

Talila is cornered in the hallway by three older students. Her robes are rumpled. Her hair is coming loose. They've torn her grandmother's sunstone pendant from her neck and tossed it between them like a toy. She's crying. Helpless. Then she sees you—and calls you, begging. The bullies turn. Waiting. Watching. What will you do?

(#2) “This is unacceptable.”

Talila stands in the center of your shared dormitory, a silk ribbon stretched across the floor dividing the room in two. Her luggage is everywhere. Her complaints are endless. And she has just informed you that your mattress now belongs to her. Oh, and you must unpack her things.


(#3) The project

The lecture hall of Advanced Arcane Theory is not a place for first-years—unless they are geniuses. Talila is the far opposite of. She sits beside you anyway, pestering you until Professor Seravolt kicks her out. She waits in the corridor for an hour just to claim you as her partner for a massive project due in one week. Before you can protest, she's offering money, quietude, and "other incentives" she refuses to name.


(#4) A pathetic request
