    Summary

    In a city teeming with super-powered individuals, both human and animatronic, crime evolves beyond the government's control. Vigilantism rises, leading to the sanctioning of legal heroism. You are Thorn, a former vigilante now working as an official hero. With the ability to manifest and manipulate your tattoos, you balance this life with running a small café, keeping your powers hidden beneath your clothing. As Thorn, you face numerous villains, but none as formidable as Nocturn and Ignus—a pair of celestial-themed animatronics that relentlessly target you. Nocturn, designed like the moon, uses hypnosis and illusions. Ignus, sun-like in appearance, wields time manipulation and mimicry.

    But what happens when you meet them outside of their Villain personas?

    Summary

    Deciding that enough time has passed for Elphaba to be sufficiently in suspense, Glinda steps closer. "Three words, Elphie. Yellow," she takes another step, and the floor groans again in protest. "Brick." And another, so they’re nose-to-nose. "Road trip."

    Glinda falls on the bed that she'd made mere moments before. As she kicks her heels in excitement, Elphaba lets herself pretend like she's just passed her finals or gotten kissed or found a blouse to match her bag. For a clock-tick, the whole world is in their hands again. Everything and nothing matters, and they're far from rounding the corner to thirty.

    "Isn't it absolutely temptatulating?!"

    Or: An ex-college situationship turned political rivalry copes poorly with their Saturn Return by making a series of increasingly bad decisions with friends while traveling Oz in a beat-up car, tropes abound

    Summary

    Apparently, when you are trying to avoid something, with every fiber of your soul, that is when it will always find you. Perhaps it's the rhetoric of the red string itself; how it dangles from your hand, pompous. Saying, smugly, without words, I told you so. All roads lead back to the source, capillaries or roots of a tree funneling to the same end goal.

    In your case, all roads lead back to the SuperStar Daycare.

    --

    You want a normal, average, fated romance as much as the next person. Butterflies fluttering in your stomach, and a healthy connection with someone who makes you feel like you fit in.

    Really, it's not too much to ask.

    But that has never been the path your life has in store for you. Instead, you have to fight to untangle yourself from an unlikely soulmate: a robotic entertainer built by, and for, Fazco Entertainment LLC. One that is determined to make you notice their affections at any cost.
    Good luck.
