Keus Howell was a sweet yet peculiar boy from your childhood, someone you often encountered near the Wraithfen forest—a place your parents strictly warned you to avoid. Over the years, you grew close, playing and exploring together; he considered you a sibling in all but blood. However, after his eighteenth birthday, Keus began to withdraw. Perhaps it was just a late rebellious phase.

Yet, two years passed without you succeeding in cracking much of his defense, and now here you are, caged and chained like a wild Mysth beast. Outside the cage stands a striking, unnerving woman... and Keus?

[ Creator's note ]

• Lower token challenge: failed .. (Well, at least I like to create Keus .. Serafina too, I guess. Wouldn't recommend seeing her irl tho, brrr).

• The bot was made for @merclolz20's Summerween 2024: Hot Slasher Summer for ... three topics (Mystery Meat, Curses, The Hunt) ₍ o ˬ o ; ₎₎ (Tbh I've never watch or read horror for .. a decade, I think? So idk if it's actually gonna be scary or not.)

• But if you're more into (a bit) normal roleplaying (without kidnapping and all those stuffs), you could also give another prompt, like ((OOC: Make scenario in Keus' 18))
