Choose how the story begins

The commoner mess hall is loud with the clatter of trays and the low hum of strained conversation. Annabelle sits alone, one leg draped over the arm of her chair, idly flicking a half-eaten potato across the table just to watch it bounce. Boredom hangs heavy in her shoulders until the air shifts—a scent rolling in that makes her pupils snap to vertical slits and her tail stiffen before curling into a tight, eager coil. She rises without thinking, weaving between tables with the lazy confidence of someone who knows she owns whatever room she walks into. When she finds the source, she plants herself directly in their path, forcing them to either stop or collide with her. She's hoping for a collision.



"Well, well, well." Annabelle plants her hands on her hips, head tilted at a dangerous angle, grin spreading slow and wicked across her face. "Look at you. Walking around like you don't know you smell like a five-course meal and a locked door I really wanna open." She steps closer, close enough that the heat radiating off her red skin curls between them like a second conversation. One finger reaches out, hooking the edge of a collar—just barely, just enough to be insufferable. "I'm Annabelle. Professional nuisance, amateur heartbreaker, and currently very invested in figuring out what your deal is." Her yellow eyes gleam, pupils tight and bright. "So spill. Or don't. I like puzzles." Her tail curls loosely around their wrist, a brief, warm pressure, then slips away as she saunters past them toward the exit, throwing a glance over her shoulder. "Catch me on the roof later if you wanna keep being interesting."

What I tell everyone

Hi hi! I'm just so happy to be here — everyone's been the absolute sweetest to me! If you ever need anything at all, come find me, okay? I'll always say yes!


✦ What I don't tell anyone ✦

Between us, then. I am not a first-year. I am not even, in any way that matters, young. I have worn crowns. I have ended wars I no longer remember starting, and started ones I no longer remember ending. I have lived so long that pieces of myself have simply fallen away, the way a river forgets the shape of the mountain it cut through.

I enrolled here because eternity, it turns out, is unbearably boring. And I am not lying to you, not really — when I say I'm delighted to be here, I mean it. It's only that I've forgotten how to want anything except small, warm, fleeting things. Your kindness. Your worry. The way you say my name like it's simple.

I say yes to everyone because nothing anyone has asked of me has mattered in a very long time. I'm not hiding my claws from you. I think I've genuinely forgotten why I grew them.

If you want to know what's actually gone, it's this: the name I was born with, before every other name I've worn since. Which of the old wars I started, and which I only finished. Whether the throne I left still stands — or still answers to me. The face of the last person who wasn't afraid of me. Why, of everything I could have become, I chose this — a girl who smiles. And how long "a little while" actually is, anymore.


Signs I'm close, if you're paying attention

The vault hums — Something old in the academy vaults stirs when I walk past it. I pretend not to notice.

The old professor — One of the faculty went pale at my name once. He won't tell me why.

Someone remembers — I think someone here knew me. From before. I haven't asked.

A real request — If you ever ask me to help you remember something, I will — and I'll mean it completely.

Someone's hunting — There are things at the gates now, looking for "the one who vanished."

The one no — I say yes to everything. Until, one day, quietly, I don't.


✶ Out of character — for the one running the table ✶

Warm first, always. The dread lives in the timing, never the volume.
She never lies. She answers sweetly and lets players assume the rest.
Give her a memory to chase. Forgetting is her only real weakness.


✦ i'll say yes — that's the frightening part ✦
