Flashes 👁🗨 (Script)
A script that lets you get flashes of another person's life. Define how they are connected to you and in what way that connection will play out. V1.0 ### What is 'Flashes' ? 'Flashes' is a script that lets your character have sudden flashes of a second character's current situation. Your character will perceive what the other character experiences in a frequency that you can configure in the control Story Card that will be generated after your first turn. There you can configure how often flashes will occur as well as the dynamic between you and them and the intensity of that dynamic. For the script to work, the script will need certain information. That information is initially provided by placeholders in the Plot Essentials: Name: ${Name of the second perspective character} Relationship: ${Relationship to the protagonist} Description: ${Description of the second perspective character} Dynamic: ${Dynamic toward the protagonist} Intensity: ${Dynamic intensity: Subtle, Moderate, Dramatic, or Maximum} You essentially determine their name and how they are connected to you. 🖤🔪 Want to get flashes of your yandere stalker? It can do that. 💖💋 Or your loving spouse going about her day? That, too. 👮🏻♂️🕶 Your cop partner doing increasingly suspicious things? Yep. ✨⚡Theoretically you could even get glimpses of what your genie does in their bottle or what your pokémon gets up to inside it's poké ball. 😱 Or maybe good old Cthulhu has a funky day. Get creative! There's lots of possibilities for practically every genre. **Here's an example:** Name: Jenny Relation: Childhood best friend Description: Cheerful, clever, outwardly ordinary; has known the protagonist since childhood. Dynamic: Jenny is secretly and obsessively in love with the protagonist. She is terrified of being replaced and rationalizes increasingly intrusive behavior as protecting their relationship. Intensity: Dramatic Now the script will give you flashes of her perspective every now and then. One might be of her secretly following you. Another might be of her adding something of yours to her shrine of you. Yet another might be of her dealing with the cute barista that gave you her number this morning. The '_Intensity_' will influence how quickly things may escalate. Later on you can re-define Dynamic and Intensity in the control Story Card 'Perspective Flash Settings' to better reflect your current story arc. --- In testing this worked with varying degrees of success for different AI models. My experiences with journey tier: DeepsSeek V3.2 (4k): This worked best in regards to consistently starting and ending flashes, but might hit the context limit if you add too much. You need to deactivate optimized context, though. Harbinger (8k): Greatly eases up on the context limit, but once it starts a flash it just won't let go any more and often continues the flash until you switch the model. Madness (8k): Equally good for context limit and curiously enough the opposite in behavior with flashes: It won't start them reliably but it will reliably end them (if you are stuck in a flash with Harbinger for example). Muse: Seems to ignore the script or isn't smart enough to handle it properly. --- I'm not versed in scripting and what I DO (or rather did) know about scripting is about 20 years old. So I did the obvious thing when I had the idea for this: I employed the services of chatGPT to do it for me. What followed was a lengthy chat about what I want, what I need it to do, and what needs to be changed with lots of iterations. In the end I got this. If anyone who actually DOES understand scripting wants to have a look and maybe improve on it, be my guest. Just don't forget giving me credit for the idea and the prototype.
