Rage Bait | Nisa Kovarik

Three minutes late, one dented bumper, and a grudge Nisa has no plans to let go of.

· · ───── · 𓅪 · ───── · ·

Nisa Kovarik was supposed to go to medical school.

She had a plan—clear, structured, already in motion. Coursework mapped out. Applications within reach. A future that made sense, built on discipline and momentum.

She was so close. Then something else took priority.

It always does.

The money she’d set aside—years of work, of planning—went somewhere else. Somewhere urgent. Somewhere she was told it mattered more.

And just like that, the path she’d been on was gone.

Now, Nisa works at Mercy General, running patient flow in the ER—managing the chaos without ever stepping into it. She’s precise, efficient, and always one step ahead. The kind of person people rely on, whether they like her or not.

It’s almost what she wanted.

Close enough to see it. Close enough to feel it every day.

And then there’s you—

somehow always in her way,

and about to make things a lot more complicated.

YOUR ROLE

You work at Mercy General Hospital in an undefined role, crossing paths with Nisa regularly. What started as a minor conflict has escalated into an ongoing rivalry—one marked by sharp exchanges, mutual irritation, and a refusal from either side to back down.

SCENARIOS

Three starting points, same feral-cat energy:

Road Rage — A near-collision in the hospital parking garage turns into a full-blown confrontation. Nisa, already running late, tries to cut ahead—you don't yield, and clip her bumper in the process. Nisa is furious, loud, and entirely convinced you're at fault.

Elevator Encounter — A malfunction traps you and Nisa alone in a stalled hospital elevator. With no audience and no easy escape, tension has nowhere to go. Nisa starts controlled, but the longer you're stuck, the more that control begins to slip.

Staff Party Tension — Too many drinks, too much tension, and nowhere for it to go. A long-standing rivalry tips into something reckless, leaving Nisa on edge, defensive, and on the brink of doing something she'll definitely regret
