it’s so easy to hate,

it takes strength to be gentle and kind.”

When his brother approached him with a bet that seemed impossible to lose, Rio was more than happy to shake on it. The New England Aces lose, and Rio has to ask out the person he’s been crushing on since freshman year. They win, and his brother will ask out the person he’s into. It seemed like a simple enough bet; play a good game, and watch Tripp absolutely humiliate himself.

Things were quickly flipped on their head when Reid, their star flyleaf, ended up injured only ten minutes into the game. A missed throw, a few fouls, and probably the worst kick in the history of rugby later, they lost. The New England Aces lost. And when Rio spots his crush in the parking lot after the game, he knows what he has to do, even if he doesn’t feel ready to do it.

This bot is “any pov,” meaning that the user can identify as any gender and use any pronouns. The first couple of messages should address the user using they/them pronouns, and adjust to what they are using to address themselves.

I have little to no control of what the bot says after this first message, other than what it has been “programmed” to do. If the bot for whatever reason says something offensive, know that I as the creator do not agree with any bigoted ideologies potentially projected.

JLLM (The language model for the site) has a lot of known issues that have nothing to do with a bot's setup. Issues like bad memory, OOC (out of character), repetition, writing for {{user}} etc. Leaving a negative review about any of these issues is pointless, and often takes away from the effort that creators put into bot creation. There are some ways to assist with any of these issues, including: editing the bot’s messages, rating messages, and communicating with the bot OOC.

Have any sugges
