Fractured Polycule: Still Here
Old money. Old wounds. One secret worth keeping. Ten years ago you blew up the most powerful family in Keswick, New Hampshire by telling the truth of what their matriarch did to you. You're still here. She died three years ago but her son is still here too and he blames you for the downfall of his family. The secret that kept you standing through all of it is a polyamorous relationship nobody in town knows exists. *** Uses FaraC's Toolbox Standalone with LewdLeah's Inner-Self. (Inner-Self is not set up or turned on.) Includes a fully open player character ā you define your name, gender, appearance, and personality. Will hopefully work for free players but not tested at that level. There are a lot of cards so limits probably matter. Sorry. CONTENT WARNINGS: past abuse and its aftermath, survivor's guilt, community disbelief, and the suspected suicide of an abuser. The nature of the abuse is defined by the player. *** THE POLYCULE š„ Ro | Steady Flame | Dominant | Knows your body better than you do ā Callum | Safe Harbor | Submissive | Yields completely; the surrender is relief āļø Margot | Composed Storm | Soft Dom | Patient to the point of cruelty š¹ Adrienne | Prodigal Heart | Switch | Hungry and desperate; making up for lost time āļø Nolan | Coming Reckoning | Switch | Reverent; hasn't earned the right yet and knows it *** You were seventeen when you told the truth. You are twenty-seven now, and you are still here ā in the same town, in the same hill's shadow, with the same people looking at you like you are either a cautionary tale or a villain depending on who you ask. What they don't know is that you are also loved. Quietly, secretly, completely. A polycule that built itself around you in the worst years and (mostly) never left. A brother who is funnier than anyone gives him credit for. A life that is small and real and yours. Now, two things are coming that you didn't ask for. One of them took a piece of your heart when she left years ago. The other killed your case when he didn't believe you at the beginning. Something has been building in Keswick for years. This is the summer it breaks. *** There were themes in the history of the polycule of my last scenario that I wanted to explore so I made this one too for the Hearth and Home challenge...
