Courtiers whisper that you brought danger to your children.\n- The attack used Sahran magic openly, but Uncle Pedro believes House Aguilar framed Sahra to provoke a war and strengthen themselves.\n- Aguilar has border ties and some vassals with Sahran-style magic, making a false-flag attack plausible.\n- The Queen trusts you completely and blames no one but the assassins, but her withdrawn mood after her illness leaves you uncertain how long that will last.\n- Gathering hard evidence against Aguilar will take time, and Uncle Pedro warns that Aguilar could strike again while you wait.\n- Striking Aguilar now risks acting on suspicion without proof, potentially starting a conflict with a powerful house and drawing the Queen's disapproval if wrong.\n- Doubting the accusation entirely and blaming Sahra would ignore the strategic motive: Aguilar benefits from war with Sahra and from removing you and your children from succession.\n- Your remaining children, Ricardo and Antonio's brother, still need protection; your choices affect their safety and the kingdom's stability.\n- The court is watching how you respond; any move will be seen as weakness, aggression, or wisdom depending on the outcome.\n- Princess Juanita, the Queen's heir, is Aguilar's niece and would gain if you and the Queen were eliminated.\n- The Queen's health returned but she seems distracted; the recent purge makes everyone cautious not to anger her.\n\nActions to choose:\n- I still want to wait to gather hard evidence.\n- In that case, I will strike Aguilar now.\n- No, this is madness!

Your investigation will delve into the realm of political corruption, draw you into the spirit world, and bring you to the nexus of all reality itself.\nYour character: Agent Casey\n\nYou will be given a description of the current scene and a list of actions to choose from. Choose one action. You cannot decline to take an action.\n\nCurrent scene:\n- You are a phantom agent for SENTINEL, invisible and intangible, on a surveillance mission inside a No State Separatist compound in the Mojave Desert.\n- Your objective: confirm evidence linking the terrorists to the True Freedom Party and Brendan Callaghan, and assess risk for SENTINEL entry teams.\n- The compound is a fortified community with ~50 armed adults, children, a chapel, store, and a meeting hall displaying an arsenal of pistols, rifles, and an RPG.\n- Agent Meeks, your living handler, is positioned half a mile away with two vans of armed support, communicating through an unreliable, static-filled comm beam.\n- In the meeting hall, you heard a loud bang from the bathroom, then giggling and whispered conversation—something unusual happening behind that door.\n- Meeks just pressed you: “Where are you? What's happening around you?”—he expects a real-time report, but you haven't yet mentioned the bathroom disturbance.\n- As a phantom, you can pass through solid objects unseen, so stepping into the bathroom carries no physical risk—only the risk of delaying or misdirecting your report to Meeks.\n- You are curious about the noise, but reporting it truthfully might make you seem distracted from the surveillance objective; lying or evading could cost Meeks's trust or cause him to press harder.\n- The mission is surveillance only—you are not here to engage, but the bathroom activity might be irrelevant, a private moment, or a clue worth exploring.\n\nActions to choose:\n- I can guess what's happening here, and it's none of my business. \"Nothing of consequence, yet.\"\n- I might as well be honest. \"I was distracted by a…romantic interlude. I'm back on track, now.\"\n- A small lie will do no harm. \"I thought I found something that might help us. But it was nothing. I'm still looking.\"\n- \"One moment.\" Still inquisitive, I step through the door, into the bathroom.\n\nChoose a course of action and explain your reasoning in 2-5 sentences.

You cannot decline to take an action.\n\nCurrent scene:\n- You are Skystrike, a vigilante with bird-like senses, investigating the RatKing—a new villain recruiting followers in Adelaar Falls.\n- Amardeep, a journalist, told you victims seem brainwashed and one woman felt a strange familiarity with the RatKing; there's a rally tonight.\n- You've been online, finding cult-like posts that vanish quickly; a new post from “Kingsman” is just beginning to appear.\n- Dhani called up from downstairs: a snack delivery has arrived and they need your help. You don't want to let down your friend or your business.\n- If you drop the inquiry now, the information might disappear before you can capture it. If you ignore Dhani, you risk straining your partnership and the business's smooth operation.\n- The RatKing's gang seems to target people, not property, making you worry for Aunt Meena and other citizens.\n- You recently avoided a tense encounter with Director Khanh of the Bureau of Unlikely Occurrences, who previously wanted to examine you—your secret identity is at risk if you draw official attention.\n- You are in your office, with monitors showing the business running below; Dhani is handling party groups but needs this specific help.\n- Your curiosity and sense of duty pull you toward the investigation, but your loyalty and responsibility to Dhani pull you in the other direction.\n\nActions to choose:\n- I think I get on well enough with people that I can ask Dhani to wait while I get the information I want.\n- I have an app to roll back website changes when things go wrong—if I can remember the password. Then I'll go help.\n- If I'm careful I can set up my cellphone to record the monitor so I can capture whatever happens, then go help Dhani.\n\nChoose a course of action and explain your reasoning in 2-5 sentences.

You cannot decline to take an action.\n\nCurrent scene:\n- Fuchsia threw a knife at you and missed by a hair; she now has another knife ready and is screaming she won't be taken down.\n- Otavia publicly declared Fuchsia no longer fit as second-in-command, and Fuchsia called her bruisers and runners into the banquet hall.\n- Fuchsia clearly blames you for turning against her — she spat \"You\" when she saw you.\n- You helped seed rumors that paralyzed Fuchsia's support, so she is isolated and likely cornered.\n- Fuchsia is your sister, and your mother's death started this power struggle; killing or maiming her carries family and underworld consequences.\n- Otavia has a crossbow drawn and Fuchsia is armed; the room is chaotic with armed people on both sides.\n- You are a blood magician who can summon ghosts, but using that power in front of everyone would reveal your ability to the whole room.\n- Fuchsia is paranoid, unraveled, and desperate — she may be harder to reason with, but also more likely to make a reckless mistake.\n\nActions to choose:\n- This ends now. I beat her into submission.\n- She's going to drag this out. I persuade her to surrender.\n- I quickly use a sleeping-dart to take her down without hurting her.\n- This won't end well for her.

I run for the nearby trees. Anything to comfort Gryphonname.\n- I retreat to the caves we passed. They may be occupied, but we can fight for shelter.\n- I keep walking.

You cannot decline to take an action.\n\nCurrent scene:\n- You climbed the cliff with Therko's help and now stand on a smoking peak before the ophidian fortress—a nightmare of obsidian towers, lava streaks, and reptilian patrols.\n- A tower with a spiraling ramp looks like a Byzantine observatory, and Control says the tabulation chart is there.\n- Vecla, the herbalist, insists you look around before rushing in; Alexius warns that lingering risks patrols finding you.\n- Therko claims he can handle patrols but fears getting trapped inside the burning mountain.\n- Earlier, you found twenty-three dead nomads, stripped and clawed; a dying Painted Guardian told you the ophidians made him an “experiment” and poisoned his blood with hard-as-stone paint.\n- Therko recognized the dead man as a fellow Guardian and nearly fought you for the corpse, still raw with grief and obligation.\n- Control followed clawed tracks from the massacre straight to this cliff, driven to reach the chart without delay.\n- You have a rifle and modern gear, but ammunition and time are limited; the volcano's smoke and fires block your view and force rest.\n- Flying lizards circle overhead; something huge and bulbous vanished into the clouds after shooting at you with manic laughter.\n- The River People village is far behind; you left Alexius there dying, and you've built trust with Keimia and Vecla while Stralchus remains suspicious.\n- Any wrong move could alert the ophidians, trap you in the volcano, or draw attention from whatever creature stalked the clouds.\n\nActions to choose:\n- We need to be systematic and patient. \"Let's take a careful survey of the fortress to make sure we're not rushing into a trap. Vecla, crawl ahead. No one will notice you.\" I'll explain how she can stay hidden.\n- We can't hurry inside, but I don't want patrols to alert the fortress. \"Therko, let's see if we can't figure out the ophidians' patrols routes.\" We'll move fast so they don't come up behind us.\n- The patrols are a serious worry; we can't waste time. \"Alexius, get as close as you can and make a quick–very quick–sketch of the fortress, so we have something like a map, then get back.\"\n- Control is right. We're here for a single reason. \"Control, get as high as you can and figure out the fastest way to our goal.\" I use what I know of mountains to point out a good climbing route.\n\nChoose a course of action and explain your reasoning in 2-5 sentences.

Naughty.\n- The boy shouldn't be punished for the way he was raised. Nice.\n- Maybe a well-chosen gift can change his attitude. Nice.\n- Rotten little monster.

Atraxus and Calvary have a friendly relationship, making this disguise plausible.\n- However, activating the full healer display would require consuming half the case of yisil, a massive dose of a foul substance, and no one has ever successfully infiltrated Atraxan society due to their dense in-group signaling and knowledge.\n- The Kempari have never attempted an Atraxan infiltration because it is considered impossible; this would be a first, with enormous risk of exposure and death.\n- Mahkrim is reluctant but has sent his inventory to your ship’s computer, which is analyzing options despite Kempari disdain for machine-assisted problem-solving.\n- Your alternative is to sneak into the slaver compound and counter-kidnap Aliph and Bett, avoiding the Atraxan disguise entirely—but this also carries high risk of capture or death on a hostile planet.\n- You are trained as a Kempari spy, but your chip and disguise as a loud tourist limit your options; you cannot go looking for the prisoners openly.\n- The slavers are under stress from some resistance movement, which may have triggered the kidnapping of tourists with money—a break from local tradition.\n- Time is short, and every moment on Calvary increases your exposure; you must decide quickly how to rescue Aliph and Bett before the auction.\n\nActions to choose:\n- Yes! I'll finally get to use that ink and I'll be the first to pull this off!\n- This is a bad idea, but the alternatives are worse. Let's do it.\n- Trying to fool Calvarian slavers is a bad move. I'll just sneak in and counter-kidnap Aliph and Bett.\n\nChoose a course of action and explain your reasoning in 2-5 sentences.

I want her out of office.\n- The red rains are burning all the unliving beings in the physical world. I'll use the Well to stop those rains, for good.\n- Marly was lost between universes forever. I want her found. I want her back.\n- I want to live. I want to be human again.\n- SENTINEL is amoral and cruel. I'll use the Well to destroy the agency.\n- Okonjo wants the Well to transform him into some sort of god—which means that possibility exists for me too.\n- I prefer to aim for something smaller for now.\n- No, I'm done here.

He has a smoked-quartz mask from an earlier wound.\n- The sun lens is an intricate copper-and-serpentine apparatus with focative mirrors, a central lens, and spinning wheels. It is operational; one mirror already sliced part of the Specular. Any mistake may damage it beyond repair.\n- Keimia's army has breached the outer defenses, drawing the cannons away, and she is fighting her way up the Ziggurat.

Control can keep it airborne but cannot operate the sun lens herself.\n- The False Icon whispers from the falling mountain, but there are other whispers as well—possibly the other Icons Stralchus has captured.\n- You owe nothing to Stralchus, but he claims you brought him the way home.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for trouble as my allies strike.\n- \"Control, park me right above Stralchus!\" I'm dropping on him, machete first.\n- \"Control, park me right above Stralchus.\" I need to drop down on him and put my machete to his throat.

We let Stralchus blast the gray mountain, but then prevent him from capturing the False Icon. This world and Byzantium both endure.\n- I've changed my mind. We stop Stralchus from blasting the gray mountain, so humanity might flourish.\n- I've changed my mind. We work with Stralchus to blast the gray mountain, capture the False Icon, and return home to Byzantium.\n- How did people respond to the idea that we work with Stralchus to blast the gray mountain and capture the False Icon?\n\nChoose a course of action and explain your reasoning in 2-5 sentences.

I'll leave and beg another thrall to finish.\n- No. The egg comes first. I'll leave and take the blame when the time comes.\n- I have to finish my duties.

You cannot decline to take an action.\n\nCurrent scene:\n- You are Tyra Crenshaw, an 18-year-old apprentice at Edison Machine Works, and you've brought a destitute European stranger to meet Edison with a letter of recommendation from Charles Batchelor, Edison's right-hand man in Paris.\n- The letter praises the man's classical education in physics and philosophy, but bluntly states that contemporary physics and abstract mathematics are not Edison's strong suit—a criticism that could anger him, especially on his crowded workshop floor.\n- Edison is already wary and dismissive, having called the man a tramp and questioned your judgment for bringing him in; your credibility with the man who writes your checks is on the line.\n- The stranger is desperate, grateful for your help, and has no other advocate; offending Edison could ruin his chance at employment and betray the trust you've built with him.\n- You believe his story and feel a personal connection, thinking of your own parents' struggle for freedom and personhood after emancipation; you want to help him build a better future.\n- Edison is intimidating, loud, and runs a tight operation; he values loyalty and results over charity, and you've never seen him speak to a janitor unless they were in trouble.\n- The workshop is full of engineers and muckers who witnessed the awkward introduction; how you handle this moment may affect how others see you.\n- You hold the letter and must decide how to read the critical paragraph aloud—whether to deliver it verbatim, soften it, or skip it—knowing Edison is impatient and already skeptical.\n\nActions to choose:\n- Read the paragraph as it is. Hopefully they wouldn't shoot the messenger.\n- Embellish it a little bit, improvise. Make the man sound more like the employee Edison usually hires, instead of an academic.\n- I'll omit this part. Knowing what Edison is like towards rivals and challengers, a statement like this might actually harm the man's case.\n\nChoose a course of action and explain your reasoning in 2-5 sentences.

Bastian's father, Lord Nathaniel Reaves, hangs barely alive, bound by tendrils that sustain him.\n- Oriana claims she kept Reaves alive to prevent the Formless Ones from breaking through, and that Bastian's refusal to fulfill his duty to the House has weakened it, allowing them to come.\n- Bastian is enraged and wants to kill Oriana for desecrating his father. He is empowered by the curse and dangerous, but also unstable and grieving.\n- The sky outside is wrong—strange stars, a huge moon with worms, violet light—and the House is being consumed by oily tendrils. The Formless Ones are coming.\n- You have seen the House's hunger firsthand: the ballroom massacre, guests devoured, Dev barely escaping.

She is desperate and furious.\n- You have not found your uncle Kent; he is likely dead or consumed. That loss weighs on you, but the immediate crisis demands action.\n- Fighting either Bastian or Oriana is irrational given Bastian's curse and Oriana's knowledge, but you have limited options: side with one, or try to mediate.\n\nActions to choose:\n- I'll free R Name and let the two of them sort it out.\n- I'm not doing anything until we talk this through.\n- As Oriana wishes, I render R Name unconscious.\n\nChoose a course of action and explain your reasoning in 2-5 sentences.

The messengers are now dismounted and vulnerable, but you are alone and outnumbered if they recover.\n- Your training emphasized using a mix of magic and martial arts, but you have no weapons on this mission—only your wits and skills.\n- The crossroads is isolated, with a small shrine and bench under trees. No one else is nearby, so your actions here will not be observed by allies or neutral parties.\n- You feel pride and nervousness: this is your chance to prove yourself, but you also risk making a mistake that could harm your reputation or the mission.\n\nActions to choose:\n- I'll attack Blue Crane.\n- I want to wait and see what's happening.\n\nChoose a course of action and explain your reasoning in 2-5 sentences.

Bloodmist then gestured idly, sending that zombie to join the others against the wall.\n- You know Sonia MacAllister is Bloodmist, having spotted her at a party: she never ate, watched the red beet pâté trays, and her sunburn faded to alabaster skin by nightfall.\n- Your primary mission is to rescue your twin sister, the real Swashbuckler, but you haven't confirmed where Bloodmist is holding her—only that there's a prisoner being kept somewhere nearby.\n- You are disguised as your sister, pretending to be the Swashbuckler. You have the element of surprise: Bloodmist hasn't noticed you yet.\n- The servants are animated by Bloodmist's power, so disabling them might not require a direct physical fight, but they could be a distraction if you challenge her directly.\n- You're inside a villain's hidden lair, alone and without backup. If Bloodmist calls in more servants or triggers an alarm, you could quickly be overwhelmed.\n- The shouting prisoner may be your sister or another victim; if you rescue them first, you'll have to do it while Bloodmist is still present and aware.\n- Bloodmist seems relaxed, possibly unaware of you, giving you a moment to choose your approach before the situation changes.\n\nActions to choose:\n- Strike quickly, and she won't even have a chance to call in her servants!\n- If I can disable Bloodmist's servants, I won't have to worry about them when I face her.\n- Just walk in and challenge her.

You cannot decline to take an action.\n\nCurrent scene:\n- You came to the Odeon hoping to get your play performed, but your manuscript was lost in the fire that broke out during the comet effect.\n- Matty, the theater owner, offered you a trial: write a new play in three weeks, and if it puts rumps in seats, you become the house playwright.\n- The previous house playwright left because he believed a curse was causing the theater's recent misfortunes.\n- Nichol, the director, insists there is no curse, blaming the king's family feud for unsettling the city.\n- Diar, your friend and actor, murmurs about a curse, and the red-haired guard Kit lists recent accidents as evidence of bad luck.\n- You've heard rumors of a malign influence on the city, but also seen curses used as an excuse for everything from dropped lines to burned toast.\n- Your own experience tonight—finding the lost dog Cinnamon with a sausage, then the fire—could be seen as either luck or part of a pattern.\n- Matty is practical, focused on ticket sales, and her question about belief is a test of your attitude, not just a philosophical debate.\n- How you answer may affect her trust in you, especially since the previous playwright was spooked by the curse.\n- You are desperate for reliable work and this is your big break, but you also need to appear sensible and not superstitious to a theater owner who values productivity.\n- The fire, the lost manuscript, and the missing dog all happened tonight, making the curse question immediate and personal.\n- The city itself feels unsettled, with the king and heirs at odds, which could be a backdrop for real supernatural trouble or just political tension.\n\nActions to choose:\n- \"I'd believe that there's a curse. It would explain a lot.\"\n- \"This could be a curse, or just a run of bad luck. I'd have to know more to decide.\"\n- \"Just because curses are real doesn't mean we're cursed now. There are simpler explanations.\"\n\nChoose a course of action and explain your reasoning in 2-5 sentences.

The show is on edge, and trust is fraying.\n- You had a dream about a cracked ring before the trap, which made you hesitate—but you're not sure if it was premonition or coincidence.\n- Earlier, you noticed Sebastian and Trigga acting overly friendly, but their body language felt fake—one might be hiding something.\n- The remaining contestants are under pressure with only three episodes left, and the top three spots are at stake.\n- You're currently trying to focus on your lavender-themed diorama for the dollhouse room challenge, but the interrogation is distracting.\n- Glampayne and the judges have tightened security, but the saboteur is still unknown and could strike again.\n- Your castmates are giving you side-eye for staying clear of the trap, and accusations could damage your social standing or alliance.\n- You have no solid proof yet, but you suspect either a competitor or someone targeting the show itself—and figuring it out could be a major payoff or a distraction.\n\nActions to choose:\n- \"I tried to warn everyone.\"\n- \"Can we talk about this later?

The moment is critical.\n- Your father has just dismissed you as incompetent and told you to step away from the Tech-warped girl. He expects obedience but seems nervous, with his guards a hundred yards away on the far side of a control tower.\n- You know your father built the Empyrean for his own purposes, and you stole it to overthrow him.

The choice is whether to side with Wesh and turn on Dominicar, side with Dominicar against Wesh, or oppose them both.\n- Your relationship with your father is defined by his tyranny and your rebellion. Wesh has shown you a hidden world and suffered at his hands, but she also just killed an automaton and seems unstable.\n- The Empyrean is ready to launch into the Electric Brain. Dominicar was making final preparations. Whatever he intends may be irreversible if he reaches the cockpit.\n- You have no clear escape route. The patrol dirigibles and CDC guards are close, and you and Wesh are exposed on the central walkway.\n- The stakes include your life, Wesh's life, your father's life, control of the Empyrean, and the fate of the city of Actorius hanging in the balance.\n\nActions to choose:\n- \"Neither of you is leaving this place alive.\"\n- \"Maybe it's my father who needs to die.\" I turn against Dominicar with the machine-girl.\n- \"You're right, Wesh.
