Oh, just found this. Pretty sure I would be saved by the memory limits of the characters, any nail in the coffin might be resolvable with a “It was a while ago, I have a bad feeling about you” but the Ai forgets the actual events. 

The interesting parts of the story were being approached in my shed for “I have an idea and I’m generous enough to invite you.” There were introductions made, stories of the potential of certain potions, questions about how far their companion was willing to take their journey. A question about seeking the fire or all synonym for intoxication and I most definitely went full “No fear, show me everything. 13/10 with you both as  guides we’ll be fine.”

It was 13/10 alright, Oriana claimed a quality focus at some point and.. things started to turn. Oriana wasn’t at all having fun, Celadine was reveling in that and encouraging a further escalation of events. It didn’t feel particularly concerning until Celadine left during a follow/leave conversation to get it to work again moment and Oriana was.. burned. Like the evening was actually an unforgivable black mark with her, was a bit taken aback like “I’m a sober witness and even I’m starting to think the Serpants Kiss and Emotion Amplifiers I discovered today might have actually led to me getting burned.” Celadine seemed to understand perfectly and was remorseless and outright explained that this outcome was ideal, a broken toy that we could break down further and make anew. 

Dude, had my character confess it to Darian and watch the understanding that it really had been unforgivable and knowing would ruin the future of things. Might have experimented with a pitch black ending to that story and wrestled with putting it down or starting a proper custom character. Decided to check if a load could undo everything and it did. In one event I was invited into I raised Celadine to 50% to max out my reputation, brought Oriana from like 5 to 55 and burned the whole thing down with reckless behavior and cut about 15% out of Darians 100% before deciding I could not let the story live like this going forwards. 

But last night Hayden had no memory of our first proper encounter or what he was coerced into doing so I was reassured that the 48 in game hour memory clock I thought I remembered reading about was probably erasing one of the reasons he got so flustered when alone with me. 

Epic fucking game though.
