Danny blinked at the small children Ellie was holding the hand of, looking quite proud of herself. The small children- between ten and twelve so somewhere similar to Ellie’s age- who both practically stank of magic and Gods.
He took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of his nose even as Dan cackled while opening the door more to let them inside. “Alright, what’s your name, kids?”
“B-billy…um, Billy Batson...”
“‘m Percy! Percy Jackson.”
“Nice to meet you two- any idea where in your family you have a god or two, because one of you definitely smells like Zeus and I’m pretty sure Poseidon and I am not dealing with either of my half-brothers.”
My friend and I brainstormed a Nearl dating sim and I wanted to touch on it for Pride
General notes:
7 routes; Penance is DLC
Shining is a close friend/companion, Liz is the sickly gentle neighbor, Platinum is a “working girl“ (Roy and Monique exploit her as always), Viviana is the newcomer, Degenbrecher is the rival, Dobermann is a colleague/sort-of mentor, Meteor is the childhood friend
college/university setting. Nearl is a promising academic athlete on an athletic scholarship
Viviana is the easiest route (joke: U-Haul by the third date)
Shiningale are roommates; you need enough points with both + trigger certain flags to get an OT3 ending
sleeping with Plat too early/too late locks you out of a proper romance ending. Her route is easy to screw up
Degen really dislikes Nearl and this is basically a shonen where you have to change her mind
Dobie’s is where the BDSM is
Meteor actually has a kid (Gianna) and is separated(?) from the child’s other mother
strange case characters and if they would peel a orange for someone (character study kinda)
henry jekyll- he would peel a orange for someone but most of the time he really dosent want to, he just needs to keep up appearances. Grimaces a little and gives a forced smile while he does it
edward hyde- takes the orange like he’s gonna peel it but either throws it or eats it himself. Probably walks away with it in his hand or eats it in front of the person
gabriel utterson- peels it but dosent say anything while doing it but the silence isn’t awkward, it’s pleasant
hastie lanyon- peels it and gives some fact about nutrition while he does it or some personal story that involves oranges (the story has no punchline to it or shocking thing that happens, but he tells it like it’s the funniest thing that ever happened)
poole- peels it and does a really good job at it
richard einfield- terrible at peeling oranges, punctures the slices with his thumb when he does it and it gets all sticky
Shout out to Poole who, for eight days straight, played nice with a suspected murderer so that he could attempt to keep his master (if alive) and the rest of the house staff safe.
