The Harlot Whore

[plaguedoctorbotc-official]

HERE YE, HERE YE

It is with great reluctance and great pain that i do announce this, but we are executing @puzzlemaster-official.

I am so sorry, and when you come back.. If you come back

I can help you live the life you wanted

@innkeeper-official

[innkeeper-official]

I’m sorry… as well… Puzzlemaster… I wish… for you… to come back… healthy… able to thrive…

[puzzlemaster-official]

I should’ve given in and just let him kill you…

[innkeeper-official]

(Innkeeper looked hurt… not physically, but emotionally.)

…How do you… wish to die? Again… I’m so sorry…

[puzzlemaster-official]

Do your worst… It doesn’t matter anymore

[plaguedoctorbotc-official]

(the doctor loads a crossbow and shoots)

[scapegoatbotcverse-official]

FUCK-

(the arrow shot him and the puzzlemaster, piercing his heart and severely injuring both of them)

the scapegoat died but the puzzlemaster was hanging on by a thread

[puzzlemaster-official]

PLEASE. DONT KILL ME. GOD PLEASE SPARE MY LIFE

[innkeeper-official]

(Innkeeper just watched, a terrified look on her face.)

[puzzlemaster-official]

FIRST I GET SHOT, NOW HUNG.. PLEASE DONT KILL ME. IM BETTER. ITS GONE. I CANT DIE RIGHT BEFORE I COULD HAVE SAVED YOU ALL

(he holds up the now dead body of the man in front of him and tries to use it to shield himself)

[innkeeper-official]

You… think… it’s gone?

(Innkeeper looked around, still scared. She clutched her injured arm just in case.)

[lleech-official]

WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING

(they gasp in horror)

OH MY GOD

(he breaks down crying at the sight of his last surviving friend on the brink of death but is interrupted by an insanely loud boom)

[innkeeper-official]

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?

[lleech-official]

(the recluse ran onto the stage and scooped the puzzlemaster up in his arms)

it’s ok don’t worry… I won’t let them kill you…

(he rushes off the stage, trying to bring the injured, bleeding puzzlemaster back to his house)

[innkeeper-official]

(Innkeeper just looked terrified. She didn’t know what was going on. Help her.)

[ravenkeeper-official]

what is happening…

(they try to no avail to cover as many peoples ears as possible but the noise is made worse by all his scared birds cawing in horror)

[innkeeper-official]

It… he’s… alive… there… was… a boom… sounded like a… a…

[plaguedoctorbotc-official]

it sounds like a firework or something.

(he sees sparks start to rain down)

COVER YOUR FACES

[innkeeper-official]

(Innkeeper covered her face, quietly… whimpering?)

[harlot-official]

Oh dear… what is going on…

(she blocks herself from the sparks just in time before getting hit by a few)

[innkeeper-official]

Wait… who are you?

[harlot-official]

I’m a traveler… *gasp*

i’ve been here for a while but i’ve been in the woods searching for the virgin who went missing…

(she seems like she’s gasping for air because of all the smoke)

I’ll.., *huff* explain later

[innkeeper-official]

…Ok. Um… you… good?

[harlot-official]

I have athsma..

the smoke is a bit hard to breathe with, it’s fine though

(she coughs)

what is going on. Did the execution go wrong?

[deviant-official]

*they come out of the Inn, having been disturbed by the explosions.* What on EARTH is going on? *they've got a massive grin on until they see Harlot.* Oh! You alright? Here, lemme help. *They support Harlot with one arm around their waist.*

[harlot-official]

Oh thanks, always good for us travelers to stick up for one another. I do just need to finish treatment here though before i can leave

[plaguedoctorbotc-official]

[harlot-official]

It’s usually worse (cough)

but i’d suggest against using pyrotechnics for your next execution

(she gets out of the cloud of smoke and jogs away)

[virginbotc-official]

(the virgin regains consciousness slowly, she has no idea where she is, last thing she remembers.. the recluse, and some servant of the devil. Her head hurts. she realizes the front of her dress soaked, her hair too, and her face? She realizes she is drowning. She breaks the surface of the lake to see the moon high in the sky, almost mocking her. she paddles to shore and crawls up onto the sand, coughing up lake water. She looks up as she hears a snap, its a doe. It steps towards her slowly, and leans down to her eye level. She reaches up to touch it.)

hello dear baby

(an arrow sprouts from the deers neck)

[harlot-official]

Howdy Dearie~

(she puts away her crossbow and takes her arrow out of the deer)

(she kicks the carcass to the ground and hauls it over get shoulder)

need help getting out of there?

[virginbotc-official]

Yes, absolutely, do you know which way ravenswood bluff is?

(she stands up and sees the harlots getup)

um actually, I can find it on my own.

(Turns away and starts walking along the beach)

[harlot-official]

Your loss, im not the only hunter in these woods though, id be careful

[virginbotc-official]

(Continues to walk) Then maybe they can help me get back.

[harlot-official]

Well some of them arent exactly "good intentioned,"

im not hunting humans at least

[virginbotc-official]

(virgin stops, turns around)

Hunting... people?

[harlot-official]

Yes yes, ive seen several demons here, and juat regular human killers.

Demons dont often hunt in packs, but the woods are no mans land for them, you could see one, two, even like five demons if you're unlucky

plus all the hunting "accidents", cant be accidental if theres that many

well, good luck out there!

(she walks away)

[virginbotc-official]

Yeah, sure.

(The virgin hears a strange giggling from the tree line)

WAIT

(jogs after the harlot)

Where did you say ravenswood bluff was?

[harlot-official]

Yeah, that happens more that you would expect

(she moves the deer corpse onto a better less precarious position on her shoulder, the virgin's eyes captivated by its as she just continues walking)

Last time i was in these woods for a while, i saw a demon, he tried to make a deal with me but was expelled before then, it was someone from this town but i cant remember at all what they looked like, definitely an older middle aged masculine face, or maybe an older woman, or...

OH- yes, he looked an awful lot like that puzzlemaster but it definitely wasn't him, i gotta ask him if he has a fraternal twin or something

sorry for the rambling, these woods also make me a bit nervous, and i can only imagine how bad it is for you, since im here a lot as a traveler and all

so how has your time gone here, any idea who that madman that massacred the town's storytellers

(she takes the virgin's hand and leads her back to town)

[virginbotc-official]

Ugh, don't even get me started on the people here, they are terrible, drinking, gambling, general unholiness. The only slightly tolerable one was the baron. But they all don't seem evil, just misguided, and thats why I'm here.

[harlot-official]

i didn’t even know there was one, and this baron being the “least evil” is ironic. I also just recently arrived but haven’t seen the others to be that bad

and tell be what you mean by “general unholiness”

[virginbotc-official]

Plain rudeness. I get here, no one comes to talk to me except for that horrible peasant recluse, who manages to break me and my love up, and then... that quill person shows up and they gang up on me! I didn't even do anything!

[harlot-official]

i also just recently got here, whats up with everyone here, and the recluse, he seems kind but whats been happening, and whos the love?

[virginbotc-official]

My one true love, the Ravenkeeper. The first night I got her I was walking around and I saw him, just standing at the fountain. Then he turned around, and looked at me.

[harlot-official]

and how you got into the relationship?

[virginbotc-official]

That is how I got into the relationship.

[harlot-official]

Interesting…?

[virginbotc-official]

Are you questioning me? I'll have you know he even danced with me one time.

[harlot-official]

maybe its just me, but i get with a new person almost every day and i never see those relationships as anything that will last, are you sure it was mutual?

[virginbotc-official]

Y-yes! Obviously. I would expect someone like you to understand, but our love was pure, written in the stars.

[harlot-official]

speak for yourself, but while that recluse was a bit of an asshole, i doubt that he was the one who ended your relationship

[virginbotc-official]

(flinches at the heinous expletives, lets go of the harlots hand)

What are you trying to say? Just spit it out, I can handle it.

[harlot-official]

all i’m saying is i’m not sure if the ravenkeeper reciprocated those feelings back, sometimes it’s just about momentary pleasure rather than commitment and that’s ok, are you sure it wasn’t just one dance, i think the ravenkeeper is also aromantic if i’m not wrong

all i’m saying is that the recluse is being hated by almost everyone right now, and i’ve been there, i would show them a little compassion

[harlot-official]

the harlot’s eyes flash red out of the virgin’s view and she just starts picking up the pace, leaving the virgin behind

[virginbotc-official]

You don't even-- HEY! (Chases after the harlot) Where are you going? Look, I'm sorry I said all of that i'm sure you know what you're talking about just don't leave me alone out here all alone for something to eat me

[harlot-official]

sure, sure, ill wait.. It does get lonely in these woods

[virginbotc-official]

Oh thank storyteller. I think we got off on the wrong foot. Hello, I am the virgin, I came to ravenswood bluff... at somepoint, I cannot really remember but that doesn't matter. How about you?

[harlot-official]

I was looking for a new town, last one got overrun by demons, those legion fuckers killed everyone. Not that there were too may to begin with. Thankfully i was exiled before that could happen, good riddance to be honest

[virginbotc-official]

(Flinches again) O-oh that seems.. scary, its good that you got away.

[harlot-official]

yeah, honestly hoping that doesnt happen here

oh heres the entrance of the town! we made good time

[virginbotc-official]

(the virgin regains consciousness slowly, she has no idea where she is, last thing she remembers.. the recluse, and some servant of the devil.

hello dear baby

(an arrow sprouts from the deers neck)

[harlot-official]

Howdy Dearie~

(she puts away her crossbow and takes her arrow out of the deer)

(she kicks the carcass to the ground and hauls it over get shoulder)

need help getting out of there?

[virginbotc-official]

Yes, absolutely, do you know which way ravenswood bluff is?

(she stands up and sees the harlots getup)

um actually, I can find it on my own.

(Turns away and starts walking along the beach)

[harlot-official]

Your loss, im not the only hunter in these woods though, id be careful

[virginbotc-official]

(Continues to walk) Then maybe they can help me get back.

[harlot-official]

Well some of them arent exactly "good intentioned,"

im not hunting humans at least

[virginbotc-official]

(virgin stops, turns around)

Hunting... people?

[harlot-official]

Yes yes, ive seen several demons here, and juat regular human killers.

Demons dont often hunt in packs, but the woods are no mans land for them, you could see one, two, even like five demons if you're unlucky

plus all the hunting "accidents", cant be accidental if theres that many

well, good luck out there!

(she walks away)

[virginbotc-official]

Yeah, sure.

(The virgin hears a strange giggling from the tree line)

WAIT

(jogs after the harlot)

Where did you say ravenswood bluff was?

[harlot-official]

Yeah, that happens more that you would expect

(she moves the deer corpse onto a better less precarious position on her shoulder, the virgin's eyes captivated by its as she just continues walking)

Last time i was in these woods for a while, i saw a demon, he tried to make a deal with me but was expelled before then, it was someone from this town but i cant remember at all what they looked like, definitely an older middle aged masculine face, or maybe an older woman, or...

OH- yes, he looked an awful lot like that puzzlemaster but it definitely wasn't him, i gotta ask him if he has a fraternal twin or something

sorry for the rambling, these woods also make me a bit nervous, and i can only imagine how bad it is for you, since im here a lot as a traveler and all

so how has your time gone here, any idea who that madman that massacred the town's storytellers

(she takes the virgin's hand and leads her back to town)

[virginbotc-official]

Ugh, don't even get me started on the people here, they are terrible, drinking, gambling, general unholiness. The only slightly tolerable one was the baron. But they all don't seem evil, just misguided, and thats why I'm here.

[harlot-official]

i didn’t even know there was one, and this baron being the “least evil” is ironic. I also just recently arrived but haven’t seen the others to be that bad

and tell be what you mean by “general unholiness”

[virginbotc-official]

Plain rudeness. I get here, no one comes to talk to me except for that horrible peasant recluse, who manages to break me and my love up, and then... that quill person shows up and they gang up on me! I didn't even do anything!

[harlot-official]

i also just recently got here, whats up with everyone here, and the recluse, he seems kind but whats been happening, and whos the love?

[virginbotc-official]

My one true love, the Ravenkeeper. The first night I got her I was walking around and I saw him, just standing at the fountain. Then he turned around, and looked at me.

[harlot-official]

and how you got into the relationship?

[virginbotc-official]

That is how I got into the relationship.

[harlot-official]

Interesting…?

[virginbotc-official]

Are you questioning me? I'll have you know he even danced with me one time.

[harlot-official]

maybe its just me, but i get with a new person almost every day and i never see those relationships as anything that will last, are you sure it was mutual?

[virginbotc-official]

Y-yes! Obviously. I would expect someone like you to understand, but our love was pure, written in the stars.

[harlot-official]

speak for yourself, but while that recluse was a bit of an asshole, i doubt that he was the one who ended your relationship

[virginbotc-official]

(flinches at the heinous expletives, lets go of the harlots hand)

What are you trying to say? Just spit it out, I can handle it.

[harlot-official]

all i’m saying is i’m not sure if the ravenkeeper reciprocated those feelings back, sometimes it’s just about momentary pleasure rather than commitment and that’s ok, are you sure it wasn’t just one dance, i think the ravenkeeper is also aromantic if i’m not wrong

all i’m saying is that the recluse is being hated by almost everyone right now, and i’ve been there, i would show them a little compassion

[harlot-official]

the harlot’s eyes flash red out of the virgin’s view and she just starts picking up the pace, leaving the virgin behind

[virginbotc-official]

You don't even-- HEY! (Chases after the harlot) Where are you going? Look, I'm sorry I said all of that i'm sure you know what you're talking about just don't leave me alone out here all alone for something to eat me

[harlot-official]

sure, sure, ill wait.. It does get lonely in these woods

[virginbotc-official]

(the virgin regains consciousness slowly, she has no idea where she is, last thing she remembers.. the recluse, and some servant of the devil.

(Turns away and starts walking along the beach)

[harlot-official]

Your loss, im not the only hunter in these woods though, id be careful

[virginbotc-official]

(Continues to walk) Then maybe they can help me get back.

[harlot-official]

Well some of them arent exactly "good intentioned,"

im not hunting humans at least

[virginbotc-official]

(virgin stops, turns around)

Hunting... people?

[harlot-official]

Yes yes, ive seen several demons here, and juat regular human killers.

Demons dont often hunt in packs, but the woods are no mans land for them, you could see one, two, even like five demons if you're unlucky

plus all the hunting "accidents", cant be accidental if theres that many

well, good luck out there!

(she walks away)

[virginbotc-official]

Yeah, sure.

(The virgin hears a strange giggling from the tree line)

WAIT

(jogs after the harlot)

Where did you say ravenswood bluff was?

[harlot-official]

Yeah, that happens more that you would expect

(she moves the deer corpse onto a better less precarious position on her shoulder, the virgin's eyes captivated by its as she just continues walking)

Last time i was in these woods for a while, i saw a demon, he tried to make a deal with me but was expelled before then, it was someone from this town but i cant remember at all what they looked like, definitely an older middle aged masculine face, or maybe an older woman, or...

OH- yes, he looked an awful lot like that puzzlemaster but it definitely wasn't him, i gotta ask him if he has a fraternal twin or something

sorry for the rambling, these woods also make me a bit nervous, and i can only imagine how bad it is for you, since im here a lot as a traveler and all

so how has your time gone here, any idea who that madman that massacred the town's storytellers

(she takes the virgin's hand and leads her back to town)

[virginbotc-official]

Ugh, don't even get me started on the people here, they are terrible, drinking, gambling, general unholiness. The only slightly tolerable one was the baron. But they all don't seem evil, just misguided, and thats why I'm here.

[harlot-official]

i didn’t even know there was one, and this baron being the “least evil” is ironic. I also just recently arrived but haven’t seen the others to be that bad

and tell be what you mean by “general unholiness”

[virginbotc-official]

Plain rudeness. I get here, no one comes to talk to me except for that horrible peasant recluse, who manages to break me and my love up, and then... that quill person shows up and they gang up on me! I didn't even do anything!

[harlot-official]

i also just recently got here, whats up with everyone here, and the recluse, he seems kind but whats been happening, and whos the love?

[virginbotc-official]

My one true love, the Ravenkeeper. The first night I got her I was walking around and I saw him, just standing at the fountain. Then he turned around, and looked at me.

[harlot-official]

and how you got into the relationship?

[virginbotc-official]

(the virgin regains consciousness slowly, she has no idea where she is, last thing she remembers.. the recluse, and some servant of the devil. Her head hurts. she realizes the front of her dress soaked, her hair too, and her face? She realizes she is drowning. She breaks the surface of the lake to see the moon high in the sky, almost mocking her. she paddles to shore and crawls up onto the sand, coughing up lake water. She looks up as she hears a snap, its a doe. It steps towards her slowly, and leans down to her eye level. She reaches up to touch it.)

hello dear baby

(an arrow sprouts from the deers neck)

[harlot-official]

Howdy Dearie~

(she puts away her crossbow and takes her arrow out of the deer)

(she kicks the carcass to the ground and hauls it over get shoulder)

need help getting out of there?

[virginbotc-official]

Yes, absolutely, do you know which way ravenswood bluff is?

(she stands up and sees the harlots getup)

um actually, I can find it on my own.
