Hello! Hate to bother, but I was wondering if you were still continuing the Sunday dating sim? The last post about it was 1-2 months ago and so that's why I was wondering.
I apologize, this is because the game, while i love working on it, is a really low priority thing, like...I have work, university, commissions, paid projects. I only get to work on this game when i have free time, but the demo is really, REALLY almost 100 done, im just adding music and sound effects. then plan is to run a small test with some chosen people and get their review, after that, i will release the demo on itchio. Speaking of which, i should start posting abt it again
Ashveil x Reader: #45: âI wouldnât mind an excuse to see you again.â
Thank you @vizell for helping me come up with the setting for this one, my brain really refused to work with Ashveil, but at least I wrote... yeah. It got long by accident once more. I swear I can't write short drabbles this summer it seems.
The front desk at the headquarters of the Department of Aberration Defense rarely knew a moment of peace. From the second the doors opened each morning, a steady stream of people queued for assistance, to the point where their faces barely registered anymore.
Someone always needed help filling out paperwork. Someone had misplaced a report. Someone needed access to the archives. Between retrieving old case files, brewing fresh coffee for the staff, and calming anxious visitors waiting for their turn, your days blurred together into an endless cycle of paperwork and polite smiles.
So when a man in a white sleeveless coat, fedora, and cane approached your desk, slid an identification card toward you, and requested access to archived files, you didn't spend more than a fleeting moment appreciating his handsome features.
Besides, it would've been inappropriate. Probably.
"Case number?" you asked, keeping your tone politely neutral while already wondering when you'd be able to sneak away for your next break.
"I believe it was..." He frowned thoughtfully, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Twenty-eight seventy-six... F? Or was it C?" He let out a weary sigh before snapping his fingers. "No. Seventy-seven F."
You typed the information into your computer, verifying the request.
"Mister Ashveil of the Ashen Detective Agency?" you asked, making sure everything was in order before handing sensitive files over to a complete stranger.
"That's me," he replied with an easy chuckle, his gaze lazily wandering around the lobby.
"Everything checks out." You stood from your chair. "I'll retrieve the files. Please have a seat while you wait." His eyes drifted toward the coffee station tucked into the corner of the lobby. "You're also welcome to help yourself to some coffee."
The offer earned you an appreciative smile. It seemed Mister Ashveil was incapable of refusing a free cup of coffee.
By the time you returned from the archives carrying the requested file, he'd already poured himself a cup and made himself quite comfortable in one of the waiting chairs. The case was still ongoing, but his authorization was genuine. He was evidently collaborating with the Department's investigators.
Eager to move on to the next person in line, you handed him the case file, wished him a pleasant day, and almost immediately forgot about the private detective.
â.°đŠčââźâ.°
A few days later, you found yourself assigned to the reception desk once again.
You didn't realize you'd seen him before, not until he slid his identification card across the counter with his metallic, nail-pierced hand.
"Mister... Ashveil of the Ashen Detective Agency?" you read aloud as you entered his information into the system, noticing it had only been a few days since his last visit. He certainly stood out, even among the imagenae and that was an accomplishment in itself.
"Yes..." he hummed, leaning casually against the counter. Then he fell silent for just a moment. His eyes lingered on your face a little longer than they had the last time. Maybe it was simply a detective's habit and he was trying to read you. "Case forty-two B."
You entered the case number. "It's still ongoing..." you murmured to yourself before spotting Miss Kuchiba's authorization attached to the request. "Looks like everything checks out."
The detective straightened, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
You nodded toward the self-serve coffee station. "Coffee's over there."
His eyes widened slightly before an honest, surprised chuckle escaped him. You offered him a polite, reassuring smile before stepping away from the front desk to retrieve the requested file.
â.°đŠčââźâ.°
A week passed.
You'd forgotten about the mysterious detective once again⊠Until he appeared at your desk. As casually as before, he slid his identification card across the counter while in his other hand, he was holding a banana.
You quirked an eyebrow at the fruit but quickly decided that whatever the banana was for⊠was none of your business. "Case number?" you asked, already knowing why the detective had come.
"Efficient," he laughed softly, a hint of pleasant surprise coloring his voice. "I think it was... 145911019..."
Your fingers froze above the keyboard. "We don't have case numbers that long."
"Ooh, my mistake." He casually twirled the banana before slipping it into his coat pocket, your gaze following the bizarre movement despite yourself. "I must've mixed it up with..." He cleared his throat. "Anyway, the file I need is case eighteen K."
You entered the number and checked the authorization. "...Are you sure?" you asked, glancing back at him. "This case was closed over a year ago."
"It's connected to another investigation," he explained smoothly. "I just wanted to verify a detail, if you'd be so kind."Â
People rarely asked you for anything so politely, so you felt warmth creep up the back of your neck. "Of course." You cleared your throat, hoping he hadn't noticed. "I'll be right back."
"Has the coffee been relocated?"
He leaned comfortably against the counter, resting both forearms on its polished surface and for some reason he reminded you of a dog waiting patiently for its owner. You decided not to dwell on that comparison for too long as it probably wasn't very professional.
"No?" you blinked.
Mister Ashveil chuckled, the corners of his eyes crinkling with genuine amusement. "Thought I'd better make sure."
â.°đŠčââźâ.°
Another week drifted by, fleeting as a furbo being chased by intergalactic heroes.Â
Then he appeared again. He waited patiently in line while you caught yourself stealing glances at him. Entirely by accident, of course. When he noticed and smiled, you found yourself smiling back before you could stop yourself. By the time it was his turn, you already had the database open.
"Morning, Mister Ashveil," you greeted, typing his name into the system.
"Morning," he replied, reading your name from the badge pinned neatly to your uniform.
For a moment, he simply watched you type, an unreadable yet strangely gentle expression resting on his face.
"So," you said at last, glancing up from the monitor, "what's the case this time?"
You were mildly surprised by how easily you'd remembered his name, identification, and detective agency. Somewhere along the way, he'd left an impression.
"I..." He hesitated. "I've forgotten the case number."
You looked up. "What?" And your lips twitched despite your best efforts. "How?"
"Hey, don't ask me." He let out a sheepish laugh. "I mean... yeah, I'm the detective. I should know, but..." He trailed off, seemingly distracted by a thought âor perhaps by something else entirely.
"...Alright," you said slowly. "Could you at least tell me what you're investigating? Maybe I can figure out which file you need."
"Nothing."
His answer came quietly, one hand curling into a loose fist atop the counter and you stared at him like someone had hit you with a baseball bat.
"...Nothing?"
Your brain immediately began trying to solve a mystery of its own; why was a detective standing in the lobby of the Department of Aberration Defense if he wasn't investigating anything?
"I finished my last case yesterday," he admitted, his voice softer than usual.
"Then..." You glanced briefly at the growing line behind him before looking back at him. "Why are you here?"
Ashveil let out a slow breath and he removed his fedora for a moment, absentmindedly adjusting the brim before settling it back on his head.
"I was hoping I'd remember on the way here."
You waited patiently, but your heartbeat had begun to quicken ever so slightly. "...So," you asked, "did you?"
A small smile curled across Ashveil's lips and his silvery eyes, tinged with the faintest hint of violet, met yours. "I wouldn't mind an excuse to see you again."
"So..." you exhaled, feeling warmth bloom across your face. "There's no case?"
He shook his head, a quiet chuckle escaping him.
"How about coffee?" You nodded toward the self-serve station.
Ashveil tilted his head in its direction, visibly tempted by the mention of free coffee and then his gaze returned to you. "I was actually hoping you'd join me this time."
I have NO CLUE if anybody's done this but the past week has been hell trying to unlock every piece of content so I can wife up Gwylan (my newest obsessionâsorry Wren đ„) and some of the 'requirements' are kind of vague SO... after draining every drop of Gwylan content dry and getting my yearning to 100% with this bitch, here's a clothes guide to help you all get those interest points with Gwylan! It requires SCRUBBING through the game and getting every piece of content, so if you're not doing it with cheats... Good luck soldiers đ«Ą
As a side note: especially with Temple clothing, I am not positive on how to unlock some things so if anybody has any corrections/advice please let me know so I can fix it :)
ADDED/FINISHED the list thanks to the lovely anons in my DMs as well as Tumblr users helirubys, waxanatomy, and ambicutiebutt (not sure if y'all wanna be tagged but I sososo appreciate the help!).
What's so special about the forest shop?
Unlocking clothing is the ONE way to gain interest with Gwylan. If you want to romance them, it's a long process that involves unlocking every piece of in-game content there is. Once you unlock clothing, you can talk to Gwylan about how you obtained it. PLEASE NOTE you can NOT cheat unlock the clothing! Gwylan will know you used cheats and you will not gain any interest points! You can bypass some of this by editing the save file if you are truly that desperate, but seasonal clothing (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's) cannot be unlocked this way.
With any of the holiday clothing, they automatically unlock, BUT you won't get special Gwylan dialogue or the interest points so I do highly recommend you unlock them before they're released for the season!
SEASONAL OUTFITS
Witch Set (includes Witch Dress, Broomstick, Witch Hat, and Witch Shoes): "In stock from the 21st of October, or get accustomed to tentacles."
Another holiday set. For this, you'll need to have multiple tentacle encounters until you get the 'prey' and 'witch' trait. The easiest way to do this (in my opinion) is to go out to see while hallucinating. You'll need tentacles enabled for thisâobviously. Same with the other holiday outfits, you'll lose out on dialogue if you try to cheat this unlock in any way.
Pumpkin Set (includes Pumpkin Dress and Mini Pumpkin): "In stock from the 21st of October, or learn 15 recipes."
Very self-explanatory. You can learn recipes through housekeeping lessons at school. I did figure out if you edit the save to NOT unlock the dress but instead to add the recipes into your list (by editing "recipes": true), you can unlock the set and still get the special dialogue/interest. Alternatively, you can also learn recipes once you unlock Avery's mansion but that will happen way after Halloween I think, and it's not completely foolproof.
Skeleton Set (includes Skeleton Outfit and Skeleton Mask): "In stock from the 21st of October, or discover a crypt."
This one's pretty easyâyou need to enter the catacombs. To do that, you'll enter the forest, go further about 2 or 3 clicks until you reach the Old Graveyard. You'll enter the graveyard, do a skullduggery check, and voila! You're in the catacombs. You'll want to be in the catacombs for the Mummy set too.
Mummy Set (includes Mummy Top, Mummy Skirt, and Mummy Face Wrap): "In stock from the 21st of October, or be wrapped up in spider's silk."
You'll need to enable Spiders and Swarms for this one if they aren't enabled already. Once you're in the crypts, keep traveling west and eventually you'll encounter spiders. This took me a bit to get to, but eventually you'll be completely cocooned in spider webs. I think you can ALSO get this by cleaning attics on Danube Street, but I haven't tried that route and I feel like that might take even longer.
Scarecrow Set (includes Scarecrow Shirt and Scarecrow Hat): "In stock from the 21st of October, or flawlessly defend a multitude of fields from assault."
I HATED THIS ONE SO MUCH. I love Alex, I really do, but what the fuck! To unlock this, you have to unlock all 9 fields of the farm and defend them all from Remy without losing a single one. This made me crash out.
Futuristic Set (includes Futuristic Bodysuit and Futuristic Shades): "In stock from the 21st of October, or become too invested in a strange arcade game."
So for this, I think you can only encounter the game while hallucinating. Go into the arcade, and there SHOULD be a 'lone, mysterious cabinet' you can investigate. You can only play it once a day; eventually you'll get encounters through it, although I think they're randomized because I did this on three different saves and had different encounters among them. After the second encounter, you SHOULD have unlocked the suit and the arcade game will disappear.
Vampire Set (includes Vampire Jacket and Classy Vampire Jacket): "In stock from the 21st of October, or succumb to a jealous lover's longing."
This is one of the TWO sets you unlock through Kylar (the other being the Rose Wedding set). To unlock this, you'll need to have a couple of things set up: You'll need to have gotten a stuffed owl plush from Kylar, and have their jealousy up high. Then, you get to piss him off. I did this by sleeping with Robin in the orphanage room, in which I got a "Something is watching" or something like that after the encounter, although I've heard you can sleep with Whitney as well as long as it's IN your room and the owl is already in there. After this, walk around outside a bit and eventually Kylar will kidnap you. After that, you just need to get the "Stockholm Syndrome: Kylar" trait and it'll unlock the vampire set. You can manipulate NPCs feelings with cheats if you want to speed up this process.
Christmas Set (includes Christmas Dress, Jingle Bell Dress, Christmas Shirt, Christmas Trousers, Christmas Hat, Mini Snowman, Christmas Leg Warmers, Candy Cane, Reindeer Slippers, and Christmas Boots): "In stock from the 18th of December, or leave a generous gift to a family in need."
The 'generous gift' will be left on Domas Street. When you break into people's homes to steal, you'll eventually come across a home where you are given the option to leave money for them because the home is destitute. I left 1,000 just to be certain, I'm not sure if you can get away with less. If you edit the save to unlock this, you will NOT be able to get this dialogue with Gwylan, so the only way to get this is to start thieving homes on Domas.
Gift Set (includes Gift Wrappings and Gift Bow): "In stock from the 7th of February, or face a unique punishment for stealing clothes."
So you'll need to steal from Gwylan's shop twice for this. Just walk out with clothesâthe first time you come in, the shop will attack you and steal all your clothes (so don't wear anything you don't want to lose!). Walk back out and steal more clothes, come back in, the shop will once again steal your clothes and wrap you up in gift wrappings. You'll also be banned from the shop for a day as a heads up.
ADDENDUM: Gwylan HAS to be there when you steal, otherwise you'll just get assaulted by the shop over and over again.
Rose Wedding Set (includes Rose Wedding Dress, Mini Rose Wedding Dress, Rose Wedding Suit, Frilly Rose Wedding Suit, and Rose Wedding Veil): "In stock from the 7th of February, or escape a forced wedding."
The other Kylar outfit, and probably one of my FAVE unlockable clothing besides the butterfly dress. For this, you'll need Kylar to be hystericalâto get that, have high love, lust, and jealousy. Then, just have lunch with Kylar. They'll drug your food and try to force you to marry them. This is also Kylar's dismissal quest: if you let the police arrest Kylar, you won't see them again in the game unless you go to prison, in which case you can break them out if you really want to.
TEMPLE SPECIFIC
Initiate's Robe: "Prove your purity."
Join the temple. EZ-PZ. I don't like the temple, but you'll want to join to both earn feats and unlock a bunch of clothing.
Holy Pendant: "Discover the soup kitchen."
To discover the soup kitchen, you'll just need to continuously pray at the temple. Eventually you'll trigger an encounter where a nun is going around, asking for donations. After you generously donate, they'll inform you of the soup kitchen.
ADDITION: You can also discover the soup kitchen through a task of Mickey's in which they'll ask you to deliver a note to River, OR by passing a S-rank seduction check to squeeze more out of a polite client at the spa. A note about the spa, thoughâyou'll need a high hand skill and beauty to get employed there.
Nun's Habit Set (includes Nun's Habit and Monk's Habit): "Advance in rank at the temple."
This one's self-explanatoryâjoin the temple. Once your grace is high enough, you'll talk to Jordan about advancing in rank. This can be unlocked through a save file edit if you don't want to go through all of that and will still get you the points but it is not recommended. If you're using cheats and want to speed run this, just manipulate your grace and talk to Jordan.
Sexy Nun Set (includes Sexy Nun's Habit, Sexy Priest's Vestments, Sexy Nun's Gloves and Sexy Nun's Stockings): "Purge enough corruption."
Lower the soft world corruption by at least 30 points. You can look at the wiki here to see how to do that exactly.
Confessor's Robe: "Be introduced to the temple's most exalted."
Meet the Bishop's hands! You'll need to be a second-tier monk/nun, and this is automatically unlocked after you complete your first successful purge at the confessional booth.
Exorcist's Garments (includes Exorcist's Cassock and and Exorcist's Habit): "Interrupt a heretical ritual."
You'll need to do a couple of things to get to this. First, you'll need to have unlocked dance shows from Charlie. You do this by getting your dance skill and Charlie's respect high enough for them to offer shows to you. Then, if you haven't already joined the temple, you'll want to do so (you may need to advance in rank, I can't remember if you have to). This trigger's a quest where Jordan asks you to 'keep an eye out' for a missing initiate during a dance show. Go perform at a party on Danube, and after saving the initiate you should unlock these.
Temple Sparring Garments (includes Monk's Sparring Habit and Nun's Sparring Habit): "Become proficient with one of the temple's holy tools."
Also only available to monks/nuns. Just reach at least B-rank in either the baton or whip by sparring in the cloister daily.
Evangelist's Uniform: "Successfully solicit a donation for the temple."
When asked to solicit donations for the temple, pull up an initiate's skirt. You'll need level 3 promiscuity.
Stone Pendant: "Find beneath a loose stone at the temple."
You'll need to be in the temple (obviously) to find this. Just snoop around and be nosy and you'll eventually get it.
Holy Stole: "Requires sufficient devotion."
Max out your grace! You'll know you have it when the bar is gold and glowing.
JOB SPECIFIC
Belly Dancer Set (includes Belly Dancer's Top, Harem Vest, Harem Pants, Belly Dancer's Veil, and Belly Dancer's Shoes): "Be offered the star role in a show at the brothel."
You'll need to have the brothel unlocked for this one. To do that, you'll need to go to the night club and be denied entry for not having an I.D. This should unlock Briar's brothel, where you can get your fake I.D. and also work at the brothel. Continue working there until you max everything out basically (but be careful to NOT piss Briar off).
Swan Lake Set (includes Swan Lake Dress, Fancy Swan Lake Dress, Swan Tiara, Swan Feathers, and Ballet Shoes): "Be offered special dancing jobs."
Go to the studio and take dance lessons from Charlie! Once your dance skill and Charlie's respect is high enough, he should offer the job to you. You'll need to do this all to unlock one of the temple outfits, as well.
Chef Set (includes Chef Jacket and Chef Hat): "Become famous for your cream buns."
To get this, you'll need to work at Sam's cafe. It takes a while, but eventually you can work as a chef and get to work on the cream buns' "special" ingredient. Just keep up at it and eventually you'll unlock this.
Fedora: "Eavesdrop as a bartender and learn about a criminal undertaking."
You'll get this at Darryl's club by working as a bartender. You'll need a fake I.D. from Briar first, though, which costs about $500 as a heads up.
MISC. ITEMS
Catsuit: "Pillage a shipment."
You'll want to have high skullduggery and athletics for this one. Just go to the docks and break into shipments until you find the catsuit (and, consequently, my fave NPC, Wren). It might take a couple nights to find it depending on if the RNG likes you or not.
Flower Crown: "Make one with someone special to you."
Have Robin as a love interest and go to the garden while they're at the orphanage. They should come out and ask if you want help with the garden, in which you're given the option to make them a flower crown!
Daisy: "Find daisy seeds."
Unlock the ability to plant daisies. If you somehow haven't gotten this, it just means you have to go out to the orphanage garden and search for seeds.
Rose: "In stock from the 7th of February, or get kissed by a rose."
WOW thank you guys for the correction on this one because I was SO wrong. You'll need to have unlocked rituals with Gwylan for this one. You'll need high yearning + high lust, and during the ritual a rose will bloom from their mouth and they'll kiss you.
Dark Pendant: "Discover Bailey's fear."
Unlock the orphanage loft! This will happen eventually throughout the game, and I'm not sure if it's dependent on rebelliousness/hope. The pendant will unlock once you discover the loft, though.
ADDITION: Looks like discovering the loft is pure RNG.
Jasper Pendant: "Get an impromptu science lesson."
This will unlock through Gwylan's quests for you. Eventually, Gwylan will ask you to bring them a gold choker, gold bracelets, and gold ankletsâyou'll need Sirris' adult shop unlocked for this quest, though. Once you bring back the jewelry, Gwylan will give you a science lesson on the properties of gold, and that will unlock the jasper pendant.
Feather Accessories (includes Feather Necklace and Feathered Hair Clip): "Romance an avian."
You'll need to romance Great Hawk and make them a love interest. I have that content disabled and was able to unlock it through a save file edit and still get the unique dialogue/points, BUT from then on Gwylan might ask you to bring back hawk feathers.
Loincloth: "Befriend a lonely hunter, or join a pack of wolves."
Self-explanatoryâgo deep enough into the woods until you are hunted down by either Eden or Black Wolf. I don't know the requirements on BW's side since I have them disabled as well, but for Eden you'll need to gain the "Stockholm Syndrome: Eden" trait before unlocking the loincloth.
ADDITION: Confirmed that you'll need the "Stockholm Syndrome: Wolves" trait if you go the BW route.
Shrine Maiden Set (includes Shrine Maiden Robes and Spirit Mask): "Become sufficiently foxy."
Gain the fox transformation. Since I have all bestiality content disabled, I was only able to get this through using cheats to give myself the TF. Not only will this unlock special dialogue with Gwylan, but it also opens up the opportunity to have 'hypnosis' sessions with Gwylan to help with acceptance.
ADDITION: You can also unlock this by praying to a shrine in the moors!
Fox Mask: "Attend an exclusive party."
You'll need to be on Avery's quest line and go on dates with him. Eventually, you'll go to a game night between Avery, Quinn, Leighton, and Baileyâyou want Avery to win this game night. After he wins, he'll take you to the exclusive party where you'll unlock the mask.
Vintage Set (includes Vintage Pantsuit, Vintage Skirtsuit, Bowler Hat, and Military Beret): "Help an old fossil remember."
You unlock this through Winter and the history museum. Very specifically, you'll need the Bleeding Ward painting. You get this through doing a heist with Wrenâyou can unlock this quest by getting Wren to approach you in the pub. You'll want a high skullduggery for this (and I recommend a high dance skill, too!).
Rag Set (includes Rag Top and Rag Skirt): "Demonstrate historical torture devices to completion."
Also earned through Winter. I want to say it's through their classes but I'm not entirely sure, unfortunately.
Butterfly Set (includes Butterfly Dress and Butterfly Bow): "Become addicted to nectar."
OUGH This set is SO cute. To unlock it, you'll need plantpeople enabled. Go DEEP into the forest or moors while hallucinating and you'll encounter plantpeople. I think you have to unlock the trait 'nectar addict' or 'dendrophile' to obtain this, I think I got it in about 3 or 4 encounters. For the forest, you won't encounter plantpeople until you're past the lake so be careful about Black Wolf and Eden who might try to start hunting you.
School Set (includes Classic Serafuku, Serafuku, Gakuran, Serafuku Dress, and Sailor Ribbon): "Discover the headteacher's secret."
Pay attention in math class! Eventually, River will ask you to deliver a letterâopen the letter. You'll get detention for it, but it will give you the login information to Leighton's computer. Later on when school is closed and locked up, you'll need to break in and get into Leighton's computer. Not only do you unlock the outfit, but you're given the chance to blackmail Leighton into never giving you detention. (Alternatively, you can report Leighton to the police with the information, OR do both like I did lol.)
Chain Set (includes Chain Tunic, Chain Leggings, and Chain Boots): "Learn the many tales of a witch and her gaoler."
You'll need to deliver the Hopeless Cycle painting to Winter. You'll get this painting through accepting a job from a shifty stranger on Domus Street, let them film you, and then turn the tables on them and get the key to the Serpent's Maze in the Farmlands.
Esoteric Spectacles: "Succeed a master."
Explore the flats on Barb Street! Eventually, you'll find the hookah parlor. Once unlocked, keep progressing the tentacle parlor/town upgrades and eventually you'll inherit the hookah parlor.
Succubus Set (includes Succubus Top, Succubus Lower Back Wings, Succubus Gloves, and Succubus Heels): "Become sufficiently impure, or take 15 virginities."
Not sure what the requirements for "sufficiently impure" is because my purity was at a 1 and it STILL didn't unlock, so I had to take 15 virginities. Annoying, but manageable, especially if you adjust the settings at the beginning so you're more likely to encounter virgins. Among named NPCS, though, Robin, Kylar, Sydney, and Great Hawk are all virgins (and Eden has a handholding virginity but I'm not sure if that counted towards this set).
ADDITION: I've been told you need to get the demon transformation which is acquired by KEEPING your purity at 0 for 30 days.
Janet Dress: "Lose yourself in a classic romance tale."
Go to school and read the story of "Janet and Raul" in the library until you're given the option to imagine yourself as Janet. The dress should unlock after.
Sage Witch Hat: "Take part in an intimate concord."
I don't think this unlocks until you do a ritual with Gwylan. For the sake of spoilers, I won't head into specifics but this will probably be one of the last things you unlock.
Familiar Collar: "At last, yours to keep."
Another thing unlocked through Gwylan's storyline and probably the VERY last thing you'll unlock. You'll need to have unlocked them as a love interest to get this, which means unlocking every other piece of clothing first.
"SOFT" BAD ENDS (recommend saving these for last if you plan on unlocking without cheats)
Slut Shirt: "Survive slavery in an underground brothel."
There are a couple of ways to get to the underground brothel. Refusing to pay Bailey might get you there, but it's not a surefire way (I found he's more likely to sell me off to Eden. Sigh.). Pissing Briar off is another way, I thinkâstart working at the brothel, and then start prostituting yourself out instead. There might be other ways, but I'm not sure. Either way, you'll need to escape the underground brothel, which will take a while, so I suggest doing this as one of the last ones.
ADDITION: The easiest way to get to the underground brothel is to do Mickey's favor in uploading a USB to Briar's computer and not bother with a distraction or escape route.
Prison Set (includes Prison Shirt, Prison Trousers, and Prison Jumpsuit): "Get sent to prison."
You'll need to basically have all of your crime stats maxed. Maybe evade arrest a few times before turning yourself in at the police stationâeventually, they should send you to prison. It was such a PAIN breaking out as a heads upâapparently if you have the harpy TF it's easier, but I not only didn't have the harpy transformation but was also trying to break Kylar out. Wouldn't recommend. Easiest way to max your crime stats are through assault, thieving, and evading arrest. If you blackmail Leighton, your coercion should get pretty high in one go, as well.
Cow Set (includes Cow Bra, Cow Panties, Cow Bell, Cow Socks, and Cow Sleeves): "Become livestock."
You need to access Remy's underground farm. There are a couple ways to do this, but the easiest I've found is by passing out in the moors by Remy's estate. There is also a LOW chance that you can get kidnapped while helping somebody move boxes on the street (in where they'll throw you into the van), but the easiest for sure is to just pass out on the moors.
ADDENDUM: You do NOT need the cow transformation to unlock this! Just wind up on Remy's farmâyou can escape right after and have this set unlocked still.
Unbound Straightjacket: "Escape the asylum."
Unlocking the asylum is kind of annoying in that you have to pass out multiple times on the street from stress. Eventually, Doctor Harper will take you to the asylum instead of sending you back with Baileyâthen, all you have to do is escape. Out of all of the soft bad ends, I think this one is the easiest to escape from.
ADDITION: If you've unlocked weekly appointments with Harper, get your trauma up and eventually you'll get a message saying Harper will have to intervene if they see you in this state. Go see them and they'll take you to the asylum.
Islander Mask: "Build with foreign wood."
Reaching the island is probably the most annoying thing ever. I HATE the island. To do this, you need to pass out at sea and HOPE you get picked up by Zephyr the Pirate. Eventually, their crew will dump you overboard and you'll end up at the island. Getting to the island is annoying enoughâbeing on there just sucks, especially if you're doing a save without cheats. You'll need to build shelter on the island and befriend the islanders before you're finally able to unlock the mask. And good luck getting off!!!! Island is my least favorite part of this whole game and I'm so tired of hunting for food on there only to come up with fucking walnuts every time! Make me crash out!
ADDITION: You can also go to the island directly through Jordan. With maxed grace as a nun/monk, they'll request the player to retrieve a holy spear from the island. Then, you'll ask Winter about it and explore the old sewers until you find the Smuggler's Pub, where you can directly ask Zephyr to take you there!
Excuse me, sorry to bother you but if you don't mind sharing, I was wondering where one could find the Sunday dating game??
ahhhhh its entering the review phase for its demo this following week, after that maybe a month before i release the demo for the public?? That's the plan at least
content: ashveil x gender-neutral reader. implied sexual content (mdni). they bicker like a divorced couple. post-4.1 trailblaze quest. lowkey a character study if you squint.
as a galaxy ranger, youâre not supposed to stay in one place for too long. routine breeds predictability, predictability gets you killed, and attachments are, at best, an inconvenience.
unfortunately, time has a way of dulling even the most hard-won principles, and somewhere along the line you developed a habitâone that involves finding a wolf whoâs been licking his wounds for years and, despite your better judgment, ending up in his bed when you only meant to talk.
which is, admittedly, poor form considering heâs also your boss.
âdo you want to get furboeats?â
you make a sound thatâs somewhere between a groan and a protest, still half-buried in the aftermath of a decision youâre going to pretend you didnât make. the room he got in this shoddy love hotel is exactly as disreputable as he promised. creaky bedframe, cheap sheets, and a mirror bolted to the ceiling.
you catch your reflection in it and immediately regret looking. the bastard had left a scatter of bite marks and darkening bruises that would get you written up in any other line of work.
you drag a hand over your face. âare you going to explain what that is?â
at the foot of the bed, ashveil glances up from his phone, faintly pleased with himself. âoh. itâs a food delivery app. places like this donât do room service.â
âtragic.â
âi adapt.â
you stare at the ceiling instead of him, which is arguably worse, because the mirror insists on showing you both anywayâhim intact and already bored, you looking like you lost an argument with a wild animal. which, to be fair, you did.
you donât know why you keep coming back.
not a single soul has seen la mancha in years, and since your last encounter with the old wolf, youâd gotten good at moving on and letting certain names rot where you left them. you thought youâd finally kicked it, this particular vice filed neatly under mistakes you made when you were younger and significantly dumber.
but then the ipc decided to broadcast the supplicants of the phantasmoon games in planarcadia, and there he wasâsecond place like a bad habit with a leaderboard.
you shouldâve ignored it.
instead, you tracked him down.
again.
âso?â ashveil prompts. âyou eating or sulking?â
you close your eyes. âi was aiming for a conversation.â
he laughs, patronizing, right before crawling back on the bed and settling between your legs.
âyou always say that.â
half an hour later, the food arrives in a crumpled paper bag that looks like it lost a fight on the way up. ashveil nudges it open with one hand, already halfway disinterested, and passes you a burger like this is the most normal follow-up to what just happened.
you take it. because, evidently, this is your life now.
for a while, the room settles into something quietâjust the faint hum of whatever passes for infrastructure in planarcadia, the rustle of paper, the soft give of the mattress every time one of you shifts.
thatâs when you notice it.
his arm.
youâve seen it before, of course. hard not to, when he makes no effort to hide it. but youâve never had the misfortune of staring at it this long, this closely. the prosthetic is sleek where it should be, functional where it needs to be, but the shadows... they move beneath his skin, curling and crawling like veins of some sinister power. like something lying in wait.
your gaze drifts lower, to the nails driven clean through his wrist. they were not decorative in the slightest. no, they had one purpose only.
containment.
you donât realize youâve stopped eating until he speaks.
âif you stare at it any longer,â ashveil comments lightly, âit might start thinking youâre interested.â
ââŠis that supposed to be reassuring?â
âno,â he says, taking another bite. âitâs supposed to be advice. monsters get attached to attention. best not to encourage them.â
you hesitate. because you canât quite tell if he means the thing in his arm or himself.
he glances at you then, and smiles. itâs the same as always: easy, unreadable, the expression of a man who knows more than heâs willing to share. his slate-gray eyes, deep enough to pass for calm until you look too long, hold yours for just a second too much.
âyou said you wanted to talk, rookie.â
you frown. âi havenât been a rookie for an entire amber era.â
âoh?â he tilts his head, faintly amused. âtime does get strange when youâve spent half of it in cryo-sleep.â a shrug. âeither way. ask. iâm feeling chatty tonight.â
you look down at your burger instead.
itâs absurd, really. the whole thing. the phantasmoon games, his participation as a supplicant, and the fact that youâre sitting here at all. nothing about planarcadia fits the logic youâve spent your life relying on, and somehow, someone like la mancha fits into it perfectly.
you swallow, then decide to ask anyway.
âwhy here?â
ashveil hums, like he didnât quite catch it. âwhatâs that?â
your grip tightens slightly around the wrapper. âwhy did you choose this place as your graveyard?â
that gets his attention. because youâve spent long enough chasing his shadow to know the difference between evasion and interest, between something heâll brush off and something heâll circle. you donât chase him, you bait him.
this, youâve learned, is how you make a wolf stop running.
ashveil doesnât answer immediately. he leans back on one hand, the other resting loosely over his knee. the arm that imprisons something more dangerous than he is stills, and for once, the shadows subdue like theyâve been told to behave.
âno one here asks questions that matter,â he tells you plainly. ânot quite like you do, rookie.â
you glance up to meet his eyes, but theyâve drifted somewhere past you and the dingy walls of the love hotel. somewhere you canât possibly reach.
âplaces like this,â ashveil continues, âthey donât care who you were. what you did. what followed you here.â a pause. âthings get lost in the noise and the fanfare.â
you donât like the way he says that.
âyou donât strike me as someone who wants to be lost.â
he huffs in amusement. âno?â
âno.â
ââŠeveryone ends up somewhere they can afford,â he says finally. âthis just happens to be mine.â
you stare at him. itâs not an answer. not really. but itâs closer than anything heâs given you so far.
your eyes flick back to the nails in his wrist. the way they hold something down that very clearly does not want to stay there. the faint, almost imperceptible shift of shadow beneath metal.
you look away first, because youâve never learned how to hold the intensity of his gaze. no matter how many years or systems or selves youâve shed along the way.
âwhatever you say,â you mutter. â just⊠keep in touch with boothill and rappa sometime. they worry about you more than you deserve.â
for a moment, he says nothing.
but youâve spent enough time tracing the outline of this man to recognize when the version of him that slips through your fingers gives way to something more tangible. the faraway look dissolves, and what takes its place is warm in a way it has no business being.
the mattress dips as ashveil leans in, crowding you back without force. his prosthetic hand braces somewhere beside you, the other settling at your hip, and suddenly youâre aware of him in a way that has nothing to do with how you knew him in your memories, and everything to do with him now.
âoh?â he murmurs. âand youâre not worried about me? the ranger who gatecrashed ahatopia the moment they caught my scent again?â
the brush of his mouth is barely there, but his teeth sink into the lobe of your ear without a second thought. the smallest reminder of what he is, of what heâs always been.
it would be easier if he were simpler.
if he were cruel, or careless, or even just honest in a way that could be pinned down and understood. but ashveil has never been any of those things, and you do not pretend youâll ever untangle him into something comprehensible.
he is what he is: a question without a clean answer, a man who carries too much and explains too little, and youâve long stopped asking him to.
that is the only reason he lets you catch him.
the only reason he lets you stay.
âi didnât say that,â you sigh, the words thinning at the edges as his mouth ghosts along your throat.
ashveil answers with a quiet hum before the distance youâd tried to carve out collapses entirely, and he pulls you back into something you know you will never quite learn to refuse.
because as long as heâs still hereâas long as heâs still something you can find if you look hard enoughâyou can afford to ignore the rest. turn a blind eye to the parts of him that donât make sense.
and keep dancing with a wolf who has never once pretended to be anything else.
finding out that boothill is terrible at lying has just validated me so hard oh my God đ€€ he's so pathetic wet dog who bites hard.... I'll try to push out a cutesie drabble later today if I dont pass out from exhaustion
Imagine waking up in the dead of the night and prying yourself from Ashveil's warm grip as you stand up from the bed, just wanting to get a glass of water or go to the toilet before you go back to sleep in your boyfriend's arms. You tiptoe into the bathroom and turn on the light.
As the cool bulbs over your head temporarily blind you, you blink into the mirror until your vision becomes clear once more, and your eyes shoot open: right there, all over your neck, there are several bite marks, hickeys, and what seems to be streaks of dried saliva on your skin.
You sigh. Seems that talking is not the only thing Ashveil does in his sleep. Would he be offended if you were to buy him a chew toy? Although a muzzle might be better at this point... Guess you'll have to wear a turtleneck to work tomorrow.
