I just realized today is April Fools and I never got around to writing my funny little snippet of what pranks the gang would pull on each other if April Fools was a thing in their world i am actually so devastated with myself

Anyway Ares & Emile would have loved April Fools

Did this a while ago and thought it was about time for me to do it again but this time with more in-depth answers and instead of doing one ill for the top 3

Is lizard mc still a thing or did we change that?

Lmao. If you mean does MC still absorb liquids and does not need to eat, then yes, I did consider changing it at one time due to an increasing amount of weird and uncomfortable asks, but I decided to keep it.

[wanted-game-if]

I forgot how much fun answering asks can be! It also gets my creative juices flowing and makes me want to write more

What would the ros say is the most attractive thing for them to see.

The most attractive sight for Boss would be to see his lover lounging in his bed. It's early morning, and the sun is just rising, with light streaming on them. Bonus points if they’re wearing his clothes

For Louis, the most attractive quality in people is confidence. He loves seeing others be self-assured about themselves, their opinions, and their ideas. He finds this trait very appealing. On a more physical level, he also finds wet hair and clothes attractive, as wet clothing clings to a person's body and accentuates their curves. However, he would be absolutely horrified to admit this

The most attractive thing for Clara is strength; she loves watching the way the veins in muscles bulge when a man is carrying something heavy. She also loves the idea of being carried bridal-style

The most attractive thing for Ares is naivety. They find it absolutely adorable and like to use that naivety to manipulate. He also likes someone who will let her dress them up in beautiful finary and makeup when he wants to show them off or simply for fun.

The most attractive thing for Oscar is hair. He loves someone with good hair, especially long hair. He loves seeing the different ways people will style their hair. He is also quite fond of happy trails

The most attractive thing for Emile is someone who wears a mask, someone who is sincere he has never known much of people to be genuinely truthful so when he can find that in a person it makes his heart skip a little

The most attractive quality for Adelaide is courage; she loves seeing someone face and overcome their fears. On a more physical level, she is fond of tattoos, especially arm sleeves.

INTRODUCING THE CAPTAIN OF THE EELS

Captain Ezekiel

[wanted-game-if]

The Night of Ataegina and Betatun

A high fantasy interactive fiction story based on Spanish mythology, folklore, and paganism. Set in modern-day Spain. Most locations and all the characters are fictional, except the type of fae that will be seen during the story.

Summary:

After leaving Imeria during your eighteen birthday to chase your dreams and college education, you return to the little village in Southern Europe that saw you grow up after receiving the horrible news that Caterina, the old woman that took you in after the death of your family and your adoptive grandma (or yaya, as you call her), is terminally ill and has a few months left.

During your return, Imeria is set in motion to host an ancient festival and masquerade. It’s supposed to honor two ancient Iberian deities, one called Ataegina, ruler of the underworld, and the other one Betatun, deity of fertility. Most Imerians don’t believe in the ancient legends but those who do, like Catelina say that it’s the most dangerous night of the year because the frontier between the mortal and the magic realm is so thin anything can happen. 

Returning home under the threat of Caterina dying is already hard enough, but will you be able to adapt back into Imeria and rekindle old friendships or form new ones? Will you uncover the deep and rich history of your home and the old magic it carries? 

We shall discover it all very soon.

Characters:

Caterina: An older woman, well into her 80s who took in the MC after most of her family died. She doesn’t seem to have a family of her own, or at least that’s what Mc believes. Caterina has a sweet disposition, always up for helping anybody. She raised MC with the stories of the folklore of their village, so she will always know how to honor the traditions of Imeria. MC doesn’t remember very well what she did for a living but she used to do fortune and tarot reading for some villagers and they usually came to her for advice and help. 

Ana: She runs The Golden Apothecary, a small store where she sells traditional remedies. Her family has run the Apothecary forever, and it’s considered a family craft. Ana has golden shoulder-length wavy hair, almond ocean-blue eyes, and a button nose. She’s no taller than 167cm, with a voluptuous body and soft features. Ana is in her late 20s to early 30s.

Personality-wise, Ana is soft-spoken, sweet, and very open-minded. She strikes to accept everyone with open arms, as long as they’re good people. Unfortunately, some individuals mistake Ana’s kindness with weakness, which is untrue. Ana is extremely smart, stubborn, and strong-minded, she’s always kind but only to those who deserve it. She can be a lot to reckon with if she deems you a bad person. Ana dreams of seeing the world but there is something tying her to Imeria.

Supernatural or not (spoiler):

Ana is a Xana, a river spirit that helps those she finds worthy by offering them pure water or gold. Some people believe that Xanas interchange human babies with fairy babies. As a river spirit, Ana can’t be apart from her river or she’ll suffer horrible consequences.  She met Caterina when Caterina was a young maiden and bathed in her river. Ana saw the purity of her soul and gifted her magic. Xanas are mythological creatures that originate from Asturias, a northern region of Spain with strong Celtic influences.

Anne, An or Antón: Anne/An/Antón works on their family farm along with some of their siblings. The Zamora’s farm supplies Imeria with its fresh produce. Everyone knows the family since they’re a happy and amicable bunch. Anne/An/Antón is pretty tall, around 185cm, they have wide shoulders, a big frame, tan skin and are chubby. The shape of their face is round, with little freckles, big green eyes, long eyelashes, and a hooked nose. They have short straight brown hair and are a bit hairy.. Their voice is deep and loud, almost booming, exactly like their laugh. Anne/An/Antón is super extroverted, knows everybody in the village, and has a sunny and sweet disposition. They are super strong, from all the physical labor but their secret hobby crocheting, they’re always making little dolls for the children of the village or making clothes. In general, they’re super well-liked and have a golden heart. Anne/An/Antón is the MC's childhood best friend and neighbor. Unfortunately, after leaving Imeria they didn’t keep in touch. Anne/An/Antón is 25 years old. 

Supernatural or not:

Anne/An/Antón is an Ome, a mountain spirit, and a giant made of rock that turns into mountains after living for many centuries. Their whole family is made of Omes graznidos. Omes Graznidos are a type of mythological creature that originates from Aragón, a northeast region of Spain surrounded by mountains.

Diego, Diana, or Dix: Diego/Diana/Dix is new in Imeria, they have been living in the little village for less than a year. Nobody knows where they came from, they remain a bit of a mystery for everyone. They set up a popular lounge called “The Velvet Moon” in the middle of the village, very exclusive and chic which clashes with the rest of the decoration of Imeria. Still, the young Imerians love the place. They’re 31 years old but look slightly older. 

Diego/Diana/Dix is of average height, standing around 174cm, they’re pretty slender, with a petite frame and olive skin. They have an angular face, with sharp features, long shaggy black hair, and clear eyes that almost seem silver-colored. Diego/Diana/Dix keep mostly to themselves and can be seen riding their motorcycle around the village. They have a limp and can be seen using a cane. As mysterious as they are, they’re pretty talkative once you get to know them, and are very protective of those they love. Diego/Diana/Dix seems to be interested in the MC, since they’re always watching them, and seem to have a secret that they don’t want to share with anybody. They are very self-reliant, have learned to survive by themselves and have a hard time trusting others, but once you have earned their trust, they’re loyal to a fault. 

Rumors say they have a criminal past and are mixed with a bad crowd, but not everything seems as it is.  

Supernatural or not (spoilers):

Diego/Diana/Dix takes the form of a giant spectral dog, with long black hair and a permanent limp, which is called dip by Spanish folklore. They’re supposed to be emissaries from the devil and they suck the blood of the livestock at night. However, not all legends tell the entire truth. 

Bingen: Bingen lives in the forests near Imeria, where he has a small cottage and a little bit of land where he has a vegetable patch. Bingen is a well-known journalist for online newspapers. He’s an ecologist, and his coverage is mostly about the natural world and ecologism. 

Bingen barely sets foot in Imeria, he is auto-sufficient but he comes down to the village to visit Ana and her apothecary, and to buy a few things he needs.

Bingen has a square jaw with high cheekbones, sharp green eyes, and long blonde messy hair, usually kept in a braid. He has a sweet face with a straight nose, and round brown eyes that resemble a little lamb. He’s the tallest of the bunch, 1’90cm, very muscled from all the exercise, and has a big frame. He loves hiking and is very in touch with nature. Bingen has a hard time socializing, preferring being around animals and plants since he understands them better. He, as intimidating as he looks, is a sweetheart and really craves human connection. Bingen is not talkative but expresses his feelings and emotions through his actions. He might have a hard time telling you he cares about you but he’ll help you install furniture or will make you soup when you’re sick. He always shows up when you need him to.

Bingen recently led a rescue of a few teens who got lost in the forest and saved them from a wolf attack, since then a lot of the villagers have respected him a lot and brought little sweet treats to his cottage. He's in between 27-33 years old.

He has struck a friendship with Ana, who frequents the forest often.   

Supernatural or not (Spoilers):

Bingen is a Basajaún a creature that inhabits the forests of The Basque Country, Navarra, and some parts of Aragón. Basajaúns are described as giant hairy men who protect the livestock, and warn shepherds of wolfs during the night. Basajaúns are seen as protectors of the forest but also creatures of great strength and kinda dangerous. 

Rami: A green weasel-like creature, with a long and flexible body, similar to a snake, and little tusks. They’re friendly and sweet and help guide the MC during their adventure. Rami’s fur has healing qualities. 

Extra:

This project is made by an absolute amateur in coding so it's going to take a long time. I have been writing since forever so I trust in my ability to create a good and entertaining story and I hope you guys stay for the ride.

The Night of Ataegina and Betatún is also going to be a surprise gift for a dear friend of mine who absolutely loves Interactive fiction and this project (if I get to finish it;_;) might be the way I ask her out since we both harbor strong feelings for each other. So let's hope she doesn't find out about the project before it's time.

[wanted-game-if]

Throughout your entire life, you have been trapped in cages. Some of these cages were adorned with gold, lavish and beautiful, but ultimately, they were still cages. You were treated as an object to be experimented on, sold, traded, used and put on display.

Once again, you found yourself being transported across the sea to be presented as a gift to a noble. The guards were noticeably tight-lipped about the details, even in your presence. For all they knew you couldn't understand a single word being said

You try to calm your nerves and reposition your tail in the bath, but suddenly, the ship lurches. There are loud noises, your ears are ringing, and you can hear yelling along with the sound of swords clashing and guns firing. You sink deeper into your basin as your guards become restless, shouting as everything becomes increasingly incoherent amidst the overwhelming noise. Then, with a thud, the door to your room flies open...

Abdul, He/Him, 23

Abdul grew up in a merchant family and became a skilled negotiator. Never in his life did he think he would stoop so low as to become a pirate. However, after a falling out with his father, he ran away and somehow found himself among The Eels crew. Stoic and logical, Abdul now wishes to sell you off to the highest bidder, aware of the trouble you could bring them.

Aminu, She/Her or He/Him {Gender Selectable}, 19

Aminu is a skilled swordsman who has been with the Eels for nearly their entire life. They see the captain as a parental figure and are fiercely loyal to them, but Aminu does not agree with the captain blindly. Even though it would be the easiest to sell you, Aminu feels sorry for you and wishes to find a way to convince the crew not to throw you into yet another cage.

Bo, He/Him, 30

Bo serves as the captain's right-hand man, always ready to follow them into danger if necessary. Beneath his tough exterior, however, he is a kind-hearted gentleman striving to make amends for the mistakes that haunt him. Surprisingly, he is fiercely opposed to selling you, even going so far as to shout at the captain—a move that many would consider a death wish.

Henrietta Aka Hen, She/They, 26

Henrietta is a clever and skilled thief. After a series of lies and bargains, she found herself stowed away on the eel’s ship. Eventually, she was discovered by Bo, but instead of killing her, the captain decided that Henrietta would be a good fit for the crew. With a place to sleep, food to eat, and gold to gain, what more could a girl ask for? She is indifferent to selling you or not as long as it brings her no trouble no reason for her to fret

Simi, They/Them, 20

Simi is skilled in medicine and healing. Raised by a doctor who once worked for the royal family, Simi had the privilege of receiving a good education and learning from a great mentor. However, when Simi's mentor was murdered on the king's orders, Simi found themselves on their own. Eventually, Simi is hired by the captain to be the ship's doctor.. and while not agreeing with selling you they believe it is not their place to speak up since they truly aren't a member of the crew

Demo TBA

[wanted-game-if]

I want to sincerely apologize for my recent lack of communication. Life has been quite challenging lately, and I've been struggling mentally, especially when it comes to keeping up with the blog. The game is still in development, and I initially wanted to release it on Valentine's Day. However, when I realized that I wouldn't meet that deadline, I became very upset with myself and withdrew from both this project and @when-i-wake-if Which was a mistake I shouldn't have gone on my hiatus without saying anything.

For the next while until the first chapter is out I will still be semi active on here awnsering atleast 2-3 asks a week. As to not stress myself out i am not imposing a tineline of when the demo is going to come out.

-Sincerely Adei

Death

I remember their guttural screams, the cry of the woman, shouts and grunts of the men trying to protect the children... they haunt me not the cry or screams but the loss of innocence after I slayed them their blood splattering all around it was horrible.

[wanted-game-if]

Writing in the ROs p.o.vs that I want there true intentions to be a bit more hidden is so hard because I still want to drop hints about who they truly are and what they truly think but also let the player not know or understand everything.

Anyway Ares p.o.v has taken a lot of editing
