New RO?!?!?

Y'all remember me asking which is better?

Level-headed oldest brother

- or -

Hot-headed middle brother

Well... I dwelled too much on the idea and now y'all get a fourth RO in "Trouvaille" whoops

~

New RO: Jace Romero (27m)

Jackie's second oldest brother

A firefighter

Strong middle child energy

The most perfectionist in a family of neurotic perfectionists

In his romance:

A tale as old as time: The Best Friend's Brother trope

Your crush on him can be new or have it ferment nicely in the back of your brain since high school

Deal with his ex-girlfriend

A lot

Depends on what kind of Curator you're playing but there's the potential for a lot of insecurity and/or jealousy because of this

See the Golden Boy crack for the first time

Full character profile TBA!

💢 ANGER - what are some habits they have that will take some getting used to? for all the LI's?

Jackie is headstrong and their emotions rule them (as opposed to them ruling their emotions). This can be problematic during disagreements because the world is very black and white to them. It's either one thing or the other.

Also they put on their shoes in sock, shoe, sock shoe (as opposed to sock, sock, shoe, shoe) and that's not a crime but it is extremely cursed.

TV with amnesia is a "yes" person. They avoid conflict at any cost, but the cost is some of their personality. Granted, part of that is due to the amnesia, but it's very hard to do anything with TV because they tend to tell you what you want to hear, not what they're really thinking. This can make them feel shallow or fake.

Also they get quiet when they get upset because they don't want to say anything they'll regret. Thing is, that tends to feel like the silent treatment even though it's not supposed to be.

Theo is not good at romance. They have a harem at the beginning of the game and it is not for romance. As such, they're the type to forget anniversaries, important dates, and doing anything you'd expect a certified flirt to do. That's because that type of thing just doesn't occur to them.

Also smoking.

Jace is the golden boy in a family of perfectionists. It's hard for him to prioritize anything over his work, even in a relationship. Stemming from that, if something isn't going well for him, (like a project or assignment) he gets freaked out and will shut people out.

Also his worst habit is a spoiler.

Under the cut for non-amnesiac TV's bad habits. Spoilers beware!

Non-amnesiac TV is aloof and uncaring about the opinions of others. Unlike Jackie, who will at least argue with you when you disagree, it's like the other's opinion doesn't even exist. For a mild example, if you want to get fast food but TV wants takeout, they're just going to order takeout whether you like it or not. Or if they forget about an important event and you express that you're upset, they'll just be like, "Ok. That sucks."

Also their worst habit is a spoiler.

Could you do ☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon? For any char you like 😊

For you, babe, I shall do one for everyone.

Jackie: Always lets you pick the movie. If neither of you have a preference, then they'll collab with you, but when it comes to a final decision, your word is law. Period, end of story.

TV: Sends you A LOT of pictures. Most of the time, it's not even something that warrants a response, it's just that when they do things, they want you to be a part of it too. Expect a lot of voice clips as well of daily musings, like how nice the atmosphere is in the new coffee shop they're in is and how they wish you were there.

Theo: Theo is tall and pretty strong. When you inevitably fall asleep during movie night, if they can carry you, they'll put you to bed and deny doing it in the morning. If they can't carry you, they put your favorite pillow under your head, pull blankets off of the bed to drape over you, and leave a glass of water on the coffee table just in case you wake up thirsty. Again, they will deny doing any of this.

Jace: Is completely on board with you dressing like a baddie when you go out. In fact, he lives for it. If you wanna show off some leg, some tiddy, or your wanna wear a skintight bodysuit, he's totally into it, even if he's not going. "Don't worry, babe, I can fight." Not the jealous type AT ALL.

Since you've already answered for the other ROs, what would be Jace's reaction to the 'I want a baby' text?

[lachesis-games]

to the whole cast (if thats ok) what are your guys' favorite animals and why?

The gang lounges in the Ipomoea living room. Jackie and Theo sit beside each other on the couch while TV and Antigone have taken up opposite armchairs. Dakota is perched atop the arm rest of Antigone's seat. Jackie leans forward eagerly.

Jackie: "Oh, that's easy. Wolves."

How come?

Jackie: "They're just the ultimate predator. They have all the evolutionary equipment to be killers and at the same time they're smart enough to hunt in packs and have a hierarchy and everything. It's badass! I'd pet one if I got the chance."

Theo: "You would be mauled."

Jackie shrugs.

Jackie: "You don't know that."

Theo shakes their head in disbelief.

Theo: "I'm fairly certain that--"

TV: "Anyway! My favorite animal is a deer. They're such gentle creatures. I went hiking with everyone last weekend and saw a doe and her fawn. They were so precious."

Is that the only reason?

TV: "I mean, I feel drawn to them. I think. I'm not sure why. Probably because they're cute?"

A crooked smile crosses Jackie's face.

Jackie: "TV, have you seen a movie called Bambi?"

Antigone: "Shut up, Romero."

TV: "I know it's a Disney movie. Is it any good?"

Jackie: "Yes!"

Antigone: "No."

Jackie just laughs and leans back in their chair while TV looks confused.

Theo?

Theo: "I like wyverns. When I was in my twenties, I had the opportunity to see the British Wyvern Races in person. It was a sight to behold, for sure."

The BWR one of the largest betting events in Britain. Did you make any wagers?

Theo scoffs, insulted.

Theo: "I'd never make an agreement so foolish. The trick to the matter is to wait until someone else's recklessness outweighs their luck. Then I offer them a deal. That is my trade."

TV: "How ominous."

Theo just hums dismissively.

Dakota?

Dakota's eyes light up.

Dakota: "Obviously my--"

Antigone cuts him off.

Antigone: "Charmander is not an animal."

Dakota huffs indignantly.

Dakota: "If you knew me, you'd know I was going to say charizard, but fine. Um, a little after I started monster hunting, once I got really good, I took this job dealing with this town's disappearing cattle. Turns out there was a freakin' chimera living in a cave nearby. I ended up having to fight it and turns out the thing won't die unless you kill all the heads. I wish I knew that going in, but whatever. Anyway, those things are awesome-looking and are great opponents."

Antigone wrinkles her nose.

Antigone: "Is that what you took from that encounter?"

She looks toward the interviewer.

Antigone: "He got overconfident and got himself bit. Luckily, he only broke his arm because it was the goat's head that got him. If it were either of the other two, he'd be dead."

Jackie: "Out of the two other dangerous animals to get bit by, the goat's the one that got him?"

Dakota: "I was worried about the massive lion paws! Excuse me for putting the goat at the bottom of my priority list!"

Jackie: "I could take out a chimera without getting bit. I'm built different."

Dakota: "Oh yeah? Theo, could one of your weird contacts track down a chimera for us to fight?"

Theo already has their phone out.

Theo: "I can have a location in ten minutes."

Oh lord. What about you, Antigone?

The witch and TV share a grimace before the former refocuses on the topic at hand.

Antigone: "Dogs. I like dogs."

Care to elaborate?

Antigone: "No."

Jackie: "I know where that is!"

The three of them, TV not included, are hunched over Theo's phone looking at what seems like a map.

Dakota: "I'll drive!"

Dakota and Jackie trip over each other on their way out the door, Theo strolling leisurely behind them. TV gives the interviewer an embarrassed smile.

TV: "We'd better go after them."

Antigone: "Do we, though?"

TV: "Please, Annie?"

Antigone: "Fine."

The final two follow after the rest of their group. There are hurried footsteps back to the door, where Jackie pokes their head back in.

Jackie: "By the way, my brother's favorite animal is a phoenix. He's big into the concept of rebirth and all that crap blah blah blah okay I'm leaving bye!"

The door slams shut behind them.
